芬兰开发商Rovio称《愤怒的小鸟》计划登陆WP7平台

据Pocket-lint报道,芬兰开发商Rovio在日前的采访中透露,他们有意将热门手机游戏《愤怒的小鸟》(Angry Birds)移植到Windows Phone 7平台。除此之外,Rovio还表示公司团队正在开发该游戏的3D版本。

游戏邦获悉,当pocket-lint记者问及《愤怒的小鸟》何时可登陆WP7平台时,该公司董事长Peter Vesterbacka明确表示,“我们正在解决这件事。”

众所皆知,《愤怒的小鸟》投放WP7平台的最大障碍来自微软,Vesterbacka对此表示,“微软的律师太多了。”

不过,微软最近与芬兰手机制造商诺基亚合作一事,倒成了Rovio与微软解开心结的一个契机。因为《愤怒的小鸟》在其他平台上大受欢迎,人们对该游戏移植到WP7的呼声也越来越高,再加上它的影响力已经远超休闲游戏领域,甚至与好莱坞动画电影《Rio》结成了品牌同盟,所以《愤怒的小鸟》进军WP7平台似乎也很有必要。

不过据游戏邦所知,Rovio若真与微软就《愤怒的小鸟》项目达成了合作协议,这两者的联手也难免尴尬,微软之前曾未经Rovio授权,就将《愤怒的小鸟》logo用于WP7的发布宣传活动。

但据Vesterbacka所称,Rovio公司现在已经不再追溯过往,两家公司也绝非宿敌,所以《愤怒的小鸟》有打算投放WP7平台。

另外,他还表示该游戏的3D版本已进入开发阶段,但拒绝透露其具体投放平台以及正式发布日期,“我们之前也开发过多款3D游戏,所以3D版《愤怒的小鸟》不会存在很大的技术难题。”

据游戏邦了解,Rovio曾在2006年收购了3D游戏公司Pixelgene,所以Rovio很有可能利用这一资源优势,将这款游戏的3D版本推向任天堂 3DS和LG Pptimus 3D等设备平台。

遗憾的是,Rovio至今不肯透露该游戏投放WP7的日期,也不公开3D版本的有关详情,用Vesterbacka的话来说就是,“我们正在采取行动。”(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Angry Birds coming to Windows Phone 7 and 3D

In an exclusive chat with Pocket-lint, Rovio Mobile has revealed its plans to bring Angry Birds to Windows Phone 7. In addition, the developer has confirmed that it’s working on a 3D version of its award-winning game for compatible devices.

“We’re working on it,” said Rovio’s “Mighty Eagle” Peter Vesterbacka, when we asked him if and when Angry Birds will be available on Windows Phone 7.

It is also our understanding that it has always been Microsoft holding up the launch of Angry Birds on the platform: “Let’s just say, Microsoft has a lot of lawyers,” he said.

However, now that the software giant has signed a massive agreement with fellow Finnish company Nokia over use of the fledgling OS in its smartphone strategy, it seems an appropriate time to readdress the situation.

With Rovio’s undoubted success with the game on other platforms, the pressure to get Angry Birds on Windows Phone 7 is huge for Microsoft. And now that it’s even transcended beyond mere casual gaming, with a tie-in with the major Hollywood animated feature film Rio, it is imperitive that the game comes out on the platform sooner rather than later.

That’s not to say it will be an easy alliance; Rovio Mobile and Microsoft have not always been the most amicable of business partners, mostly because the US giant unlawfully used the Angry Birds logo to launch Windows Phone 7 without Rovio’s consent, before the two companies had decided on terms of the deal.

Vesterbacka, though, now swears that’s now water under the bridge and that there’s no bad blood between the two companies – hence, Angry Birds for WP7.

Aside from Rovio’s confirmed work on Angry Birds for Windows Phone 7, Vesterbacka exclusively confirmed to Pocket-lint that Angry Birds will be available in 3D, but offered no details in regards to which device it will be launched on and when.

“We’ve built a lot of 3D games before, it’s not like it’s a lot of learning in order to recreate the technology with Angry Birds,” said Vesterbacka.

Seemingly, a deal with a 3D hardware manufacturer is farther along than Rovio has previously announced. And as Rovio acquired 3D gaming company Pixelgene back in 2006, it would be obvious that the company would utilise its assets to support the new wave of devices, such as Nintendo 3DS and LG Optimus 3D.

Sadly, as this is all hot off the press, there’s no word yet as to an official launch date for Angry Birds on Windows Phone 7 or in 3D. But, directly from the mouth of the Mighty Eagle himself, you can be guaranteed that, “it’s all in the works.”(source:pocket-lint)
