苹果在今年早些时候发布苹果游戏中心,但这之后就一直对该中心三缄其口。现在,苹果手机社交游戏中心将允许玩家进行注册,保留个人资料,参与游戏竞赛等相关环节。该平台有相当明确的社交准则和游戏竞赛细节,将推动游戏开发者的游戏研发。

该游戏平台是基于苹果IOS操作系统的,所具备的特征超乎想象,看起来就像是专注手机游戏领域的社交网络,功能服务上和微软的Xbox Live有相似之处。据传言越来越像facebook的游戏平台。

Since the first announcement of the Apple Game Center earlier this year, Apple has been pretty tight lipped about what elements would be available and how it would work… until now. They just turned on the feature that allows players to log in, and it offers a profile system, tournaments, matchmaking and more. The platform is available to game developers and will definitely standardize social and competitive elements across Apple’s iDevice games.

AppleInsider broke the news and released a series of screenshots of how users can log in, see their latest games played and add friends. You can also view the profiles of friends and more.

The more I look at the screenshots and proposed functionality, the more I realize that this is a gaming focused social network. It has more features than I actually expected, and draws from platform services like XBox Live, PSN and others. While it was rumored to be closer to the Facebook Games Dashboard, and certainly does have some similarities in the ‘games recently played’ area, overall this looks to be an ambitious platform that will allow Apple to own the user in a way they didn’t before.

In fact, you can even post status updates on this Game Center, giving it a Twitter feel. Having worked on social gaming platforms in the past, I can tell you that having profiles, friends lists, status updates and more immediately lends itself to a series of potential problems, and while it may seem easy on the surface, Apple is now going to have to start solving problems about fake users, inappropriate content, flagging and reporting abuse and other issues. The fact that these features are being implemented in the Game Center means Apple is serious about being part of the games development cycle.
