1，据venturebeat的消息称Rovio Entertainment旗下Angry Birds 2在发布12小时就实现了超过100万的下载量。

虽然体验效果提升了很多，但因为采用免费模式的收益方式，对玩家进程的阻滞感非常明显。

1，Angry Birds 2 combines the series’ classic gameplay some grand new features, and the very worst that in-app purchases have to offer. If you can ignore the latter, the first two might win you over.

Rovio Entertainment has actually released more than a dozen games in the “slingshot birds at badly behaving piggies” series, but most sequels have carried particular themes (Star Wars, seasons, Transformers) or distinct gameplay (shooters, side-scrollers, RPGs, match-3).

Angry Birds 2 launched yesterday, free with in-app purchases, for iOS and Android devices. I tested it on an iPhone 5s, where it performed smoothly. On a lark, I tried running it on an iPad 2, where it crashed repeatedly.（source：venturebeat.com）

2，Dev tool experts Autodesk are launching a new game engine, Stingray, to help developers deal with the demand of new platforms. Stingray will be available from August 19 at a cost of $30 per month.

The new engine supports Apple iOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 8, Oculus Rift DevKit 2, Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One.

“Between augmented reality, virtual reality and the proliferation of mobile platforms, the games industry is undergoing a major transition, which poses new complexities for both AAA and indie game developers. Autodesk developed Stingray with these challenges in mind, and we’re excited to share its debut with the game developer community,” said Autodesk senior vice president, Media and Entertainment, Chris Bradshaw.

“Stingray makes it easy and intuitive for artists with varying skill sets and programming expertise to create the next generation of 3D blockbuster games, entertainment and even architecture.”（source：gamesindustry.biz ）

3，Chinese game developer Youzu Interactive, which has published games in over 70 countries and regions and is perhaps best known for League of Angels, announced today that former Sony President and CEO Nobuyuki Idei has been appointed as a consultant for the company, “serving as a one-man ‘think tank’ for the firm during the implementation of its global deployment strategy.” Idei played a major role in Sony’s global expansion before he left the company in 2005.

Youzu’s Chairman and CEO Lin Qi noted that part of Youzu’s global strategy involves Idei acting as “an important bridge for effective communications between young Japanese and Chinese business leaders.”

Youzu Interactive went public in June 2014 and has been raising capital to facilitate its projects in film, animation and entertainment while expanding operations across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and other locations; the company said that it has plans to further develop partnerships around the globe.（source：gamesindustry.biz ）

4，It seems like high-speed endless ship-runners are becoming a thing now, what with Race the Sun [$4.99] and Kayos [$1.99] each releasing on mobile in the last few months. But it looks like PikPok has decided to get in on the trend, as our forums have discovered that they soft-launched a game called Breakneck in the Australian App Store that fits well in that genre. You’ll be piloting a ship that flies at high speeds, trying to get as far as possible, while being chased by unseen malevolent forces. So, you must keep going forward, not crashing into walls, hopefully not getting abducted into space. Good luck!（source：toucharcade.com ）
