Solitaire, Mortal Kombat and two more famous games have become part of the International Video Game Hall of Fame

The Video Game Hall of Fame is located at The Strong, New York. Every year, new interactive entertainment is hosted there, which has greatly influenced world culture. The museum recently announced the next four games to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and officially become legendary.

Anyone can nominate a game for Hall of Fame membership, but selection is made by a panel of journalists, academics who specialize in game history or study, and others closely associated with the industry.

The following games made it to the final this year: Candy Crush Saga, Centipede, Dance Dance Revolution, Half-Life, Myst, NBA 2K, Sid Meier's Civilization and Super Smash Bros. Melee, Colossal Cave Adventure, Microsoft Solitaire, Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Kart.

Only four games won. Here are the new Hall of Fame members and council comments:

  • Super Mario Kart [1992] is the ancestor of the racing game genre. Has become for many gamers the ultimate team entertainment that has brought friends, family and fans of all ages together.
  • Colossal Cave Adventure [1976] - the game created an immersive, interactive fantasy world, despite the primitive technologies of the time. She laid the foundation for an entire genre of fantasy and adventure games, and directly inspired other innovators to create Adventureland and Zork, which helped launch the commercial gaming industry.
  • Microsoft Solitaire [1990] - First introduced with Windows 3.0, the game has spread to billions of computers. Every day, it is played by about 35 million people in 200 regions of the world, and it is localized in 65 languages. In many ways, it was this game that paved the way for casual games.
  • Mortal Kombat [1992] - The excessive violence featured in this game led to the creation of the ESRB age committee in 1994. Mortal Kombat has spawned an entire franchise that has been enjoyed by millions of people for over two decades.

In a few years, the number of Chinese PC gamers will exceed the population of the USA - analytics

Niko Partners is a research firm that researches the Asian video game market. In her annual report, she calculated that Chinese PC gaming is growing so rapidly that it will surpass the US population in a few years.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide detailed information, since full access to the study costs $ 7200. However, Niko Partners cites key facts about the Chinese gaming industry on which the study is based:

  • China is the largest and most important PC market, accounting for half of all game revenues.
  • In 2018, the revenue of Chinese domestic online PC games was $ 15.21 billion. The company's revenues are projected to reach $ 16 billion by 2023.
  • There were 312.4 million computer online gamers in China in 2018. 79.7 million of them spend money on games. The number of players is projected to grow to 354 million by 2023 [more than the US population]
  • Tencent and NetEase remain the top 2 game publishers in China, with foreign games accounting for about 60% of the total market revenue.
  • There are 138,000 internet cafes in China where you can come and play.
  • The main reason for the growth of PC gamers is esports. In 2018, his income was $ 6.3 billion. It is projected to reach $ 9.5 billion in 2023, accounting for 59.4% of online PC gaming revenue.
  • Recently, some games in China were frozen due to censorship, but this did not affect the number of gamers.

Looks like the new Ghost Recon will be shown on May 9

Last Friday, Ubisoft launched a Mystery Stream invite on the Skell Technology website. Skell Technology is a company from the Tom Clancy's universe. Fans thought the broadcast would be linked to the announcement of the new Splinter Cell.

The filming of the first season of The Witcher comes to an end

The filming of The Witcher series, which we will see in the fourth quarter of 2019, has already come to an end. Writes about this the author of the blog Redanian Intelligence. In his post, he reveals that the crew members began posting various hints about the end of filming.

For example, Adam Levy, who plays the druid Myshovur, posted on Instagram a short video of a party that took place at the Hotsy Totsy bar in Budapest. And the director of the series, Charlotte Brandstrom, published a photo from her seat on the plane, with the caption "Farewell Budapest ..." It was in it that the shooting took place.

The author also notes that part of the film crew still remained in Hungary to complete some of the footage. Overall, the series now faces months of post-production and marketing.

Nightmares on the Ship - 9 Minutes of Layers of Fear 2 Gameplay

Horror will be released later this month. However, this did not stop Game Informer from releasing a 9-minute gameplay video.

The main character finds himself on a ship where a strange horror movie is being filmed. In the video, our protagonist explores the ship, solves puzzles, and listens to the voiceover.

A Game Informer journalist who has been playing horror for almost an hour, said that it has the beginnings of non-linearity. So, for example, in one scene, the GG chooses which dummy to shoot at - and this will affect the ending of the game.

This was all the important gaming news from the beginning of the week. Stay tuned.
