微软对贝塞斯达的收购使粉丝渴望获得新的拉斯维加斯续集

It looks like the latest news in the video game industry has Sony suffering from an 18-karat run of bad luck. First, the PlayStation 5 preorder situation spawns a huge mess of angry fans, prompting an apology from Sony themselves. Now, Microsoft is playing another card in this high-stakes game. They’ve went ahead and acquired ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks, resulting in Microsoft owning the rights to wildly popular series. This includes games like Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and DOOM.

它看起来像在视频游戏产业的最新消息有免遭厄运的18克拉运行索尼的痛苦。 首先，PlayStation 5的预购情况引起了大批愤怒的粉丝，引发了索尼本人的道歉。 现在，微软在这场高风险游戏中又扮演了一个角色。 他们继续前进，并收购了Bethesda Softworks的母公司ZeniMax Media，从而使Microsoft拥有广受欢迎的电视剧的版权。 这包括《辐射》，《上古卷轴》和《毁灭战士》等游戏。

While this news is surpising, it’s not entirely out of pocket. Bethesda Game Studios and Microsoft have closely worked together in the past. Bethesda’s first console game, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, was brought to the Xbox before anything else. In an article by head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, this relationship is elaborated on.

虽然这个消息令人惊讶，但并非完全没有花钱。 贝塞斯达游戏工作室和微软过去一直密切合作。 贝塞斯达的第一款主机游戏《上古卷轴III：晨风》 ( The Elder Scrolls III：Morrowind )首先被带到了Xbox。 在Xbox主管Phil Spencer的一篇文章中，详细阐述了这种关系。

Over the years I’ve had many deep conversations with the creative leaders at Bethesda on the future of gaming and we’ve long shared similar visions for the opportunities for creators and their games to reach more players in more ways.

多年来，我与Bethesda的创意领导者就游戏的未来进行了许多深入的对话，并且我们长期以来对开发者及其游戏以更多方式接触更多玩家的机会有着相似的看法。

This development is exhilirating news for Bethesda fans and the doors that can now be opened are all the more thrilling. One of Bethesda’s most popular series, Fallout, has a rich history of development. Originally, the series was developed by Black Isle Studios in 1997, but the acquisition of the series led to the third game, Fallout 3, being developed by Bethesda Softworks.

这一发展让贝塞斯达的粉丝们欣喜若狂，现在可以打开的门更加令人振奋。 贝塞斯达最受欢迎的系列之一， 《辐射》具有悠久的发展历史。 最初，该系列是由Black Isle Studios在1997年开发的，但是对该系列的收购促成了Bethesda Softworks开发的第三款游戏Fallout 3 。

After Fallout 3’s success, Bethesda licensed the series out to Obsidian Entertainment, a company comprised of many developers from the original Black Isle Studios. With this release, Obsidian created my personal favorite game in the series: Fallout: New Vegas.

在《辐射3(Fallout 3)》成功之后，贝塞斯达(Bethesda)将该系列电影授权给了黑曜石娱乐公司(Obsidian Entertainment)，该公司由许多来自原始黑岛工作室的开发商组成。 在此版本中，Obsidian在该系列中创建了我个人最喜欢的游戏： 《辐射：新维加斯》。

Since then, despite fan uproar, Bethesda and Obsidian have yet to team up for another Fallout game. The reasoning for this is unknown, but many specualte a bad blood between the two studios over a Metacritic score and big bonus from Fallout: New Vegas.

从那以后，尽管有球迷的骚动，贝塞斯达和黑曜石仍未组队参加另一场《辐射》游戏。 原因尚不明了，但很多人认为这两家工作室之间因Metacritic得分和《辐射：新维加斯》带来的丰厚收益而令人不快。

Whether or not this information is true, the decision to license Fallout once more lays in the hands of Microsoft now. This much-desired sequel to Fallout: New Vegas is all the more likely considering Microsoft acquired Obsidian Entertainment nearly two years ago. Even Obsidian themselves have taken to Twitter to both welcome Bethesda Game Studios to Microsft as well as express their eagerness to work on the Fallout series again.

不管此信息是否真实，现在要再次授权Fallout的决定都在Microsoft手中。 考虑到微软将近两年前收购了《黑曜石娱乐》，这部《辐射》的续集很可能成为新维加斯。 甚至黑曜石自己也纷纷上推特，既欢迎贝塞斯达游戏工作室加入Microsft，也表示他们渴望再次参与《辐射》系列。

Obsidian Entertainment is known for their licensed games becoming insanely popular, developing fan favorites such as Bethesda’s Fallout: New Vegas and Bioware’s Star Wars: Knights of Old Republic II. They’ve even dipped their hands in theSouth Park series with their release of South Park: The Stick of Truth.

黑曜石娱乐公司(Obsidian Entertainment)以其许可游戏疯狂流行而闻名，开发了诸如贝塞斯达(Bethesda)的《辐射：新维加斯( Fallout：New Vegas)》和Bioware的《星球大战：旧共和国的骑士(II) 》等粉丝的最爱。 随着发行《南方公园：真理的棍子》，他们甚至将自己的双手浸入了南方公园系列中。

Obsidian is up the task when it comes to developing Bethesda’s next hit Fallout game, and with Fallout: 76’s disappointing release, many fans are hungry to see Obsidian’s hands grace the series once more.

在开发Bethesda的下一款热门《辐射》游戏时，黑曜石的任务很艰巨。随着《辐射：76》令人失望的发行，许多粉丝都渴望看到黑曜石的双手再次为该系列增色。

Despite this exciting acquisition, both upcoming Bethesda games Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo remain exclusive to the PlayStation 5. As for anything else? That’s up to Microsoft to decide.

尽管获得了这一激动人心的收购，但即将发布的Bethesda游戏Deathloop和Ghostwire：Tokyo仍然是PlayStation 5的独家产品。 这由微软决定。
