Facebook高管称《愤怒的小鸟》不适合移植社交网站

发布时间:2011-01-26 13:54:03 Tags:,,,,

日前,Facebook游戏合作关系主管肖恩·瑞安(Sean Ryan)在Inside Social Apps大会上表示,如果有人在开发社交游戏,那么就没有理由不把游戏投放到“世界最出色的社交平台”Facebook,此言一出,立即引起与会人群的议论纷纷。

瑞安解释道,像《愤怒的小鸟》(Angry Birds)这种单人模式的游戏投放到社交网站上“不会有太大的意义”,因为游戏在Facebook平台上立足的意义不仅仅是争取更多用户,更重要的是加强用户之间的互动。

据游戏邦了解,瑞安在提到《愤怒的小鸟》与《CityVille》这两者之间的区别时表示:

“我们不想说得太直接,不过《愤怒的小鸟》仍然是一款很棒的游戏。如果你有一款社交游戏,我们认为你就应该把它投放到Facebook上,这也正是我们的工作。如果你的游戏采用的是单人模式,那么我就想不出游戏投放到Facebook的理由,你最好还是另寻他处。不过也可以像PopCap公司一样,经过一番周折将热门下载游戏《宝石迷阵》(Bejeweled)调整为社交游戏,但是这并没有太大的意义。”

当问到哪款游戏最应该投放到Facebook平台时,瑞安认为是《文明》(Civilization),并称赞“它是有史以来最好的多人模式游戏之一,但目前还没在Facebook露面,融合了多种社交互动元素的多人模式游戏理所当然应该出现在Facebook平台……”

但问及Facebook是否有意收购游戏公司或者自主开发内容时,瑞安否认了这个说法,称这根本不是Facebook关心的话题。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Why ‘Angry Birds’ Wouldn’t Make Sense On Facebook

Three weeks into his job, Facebook Director of Gaming Partnerships Sean Ryan made bold advances to developers during the M&A panel at Inside Social Apps. When discussing what games should be built on what platforms, Ryan said, referring to Facebook, “Well if you’re building social I can’t image you not building on the world’s best social network” a statement which made some noise in the crowd.

Ryan went on to say that single player games like the immensely popular Angry Birds “wouldn’t make a lot of sense” on the social network, as building on the almost 600M strong Facebook platform isn’t just about an endless supply of users but about games that highlight interactions.

When asked to explain further about ‘Angry Birds’ versus a game like ‘CityVille,’ Ryan said,

“We don’t bring anything to the table but it’s still a great game. If you have a social game, we believe you should build it for us, that’s what we do. If you have a single player game, it’s not clear why you should build it for us, you should probably build it for other people. Folks like PopCap have been able to brilliantly take a downloadable game, which was Bejeweled and after a lot of work turned it into a social game. So you can do it, but there’s not much point.”

When asked if there was a game that wasn’t on Facebook that he thinks should be Ryan said “‘Civilization’  … it’s one of the best multiplayer games ever, and it’s not yet on Facebook.

Whenever there’s a true multiplayer game that involves a lot of social interaction it arguably should be on our platform, because that’s what we do.”

When asked if Facebook would ever acquire a gaming company or go into the content business themselves Ryan said no, “That’s not our gig.”(source:techcrunch)
