Imboni yemidlalo yevidiyo ivukile ezindabeni eziphawula ukuguquka kwesinye sezitudiyo ezidumile ze-Activision. UMark Gordon, omunye wabantu abahlonishwayo nabanamava kakhulu kwi- franchise ye-Call of Duty , unqume ukuqeda isikhathi sakhe eTreyarch ngemuva kweminyaka engu-22 ehlaba umxhwele. Lokhu kuhamba akuyona into encane, njengoba uGordon ebe ngumqambi wezinto eziningi zempi esizijabulele kuma-consoles ethu eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule.
Ukuhamba kwakhe kuza ngesikhathi esinzima kakhulu kulesi studio, njengoba nje ukuzwakala kweBlack Ops 7, ehlulekile ukuzwakala ngokugcwele emakethe, kusazwakala ngaphakathi kwamahhovisi ayo. Lezi zindaba zasakazeka njengomlilo wequbula ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngemuva kwesitatimende esisemthethweni esiqinisekisa ukuthi isikhulu sibheke ukugxila esahlukweni esisha sobungcweti, sishiya ifa elichaze uhlobo lokudubula lomuntu wokuqala lwezigidi zabadlali emhlabeni jikelele.
Ifa elakhiwe kusukela ezisekelweni zendaba
Ukuze siqonde ukubaluleka kwalesi sinyathelo, sidinga ukubheka emuva ku-2004 noma ku-2005, lapho uGordon eqala ukujoyina iqembu njengomqondisi wezobuchwepheshe. Ngaleso sikhathi, isitudiyo sasisagxile emidlalweni yeSpider-Man, kodwa ngokushesha waba ngumdlali obalulekile we-Activision , esebenza ezihlokweni ezifana ne-Call of Duty 2: Big Red One kanye ne-World at War ekhumbulekayo. Umbono wakhe wasiza uchungechunge lwe-Black Ops lwaba yinto enkulu njengoba injalo namuhla.
Kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe, uGordon wakhuphuka waze wafika esikhundleni sokuba ngumqondisi wesitudiyo ngo-2016. Ngesikhathi sakhe sokusebenza, kwadingeka abhekane nengcindezi yemijikelezo yokuthuthukiswa kwaminyaka yonke kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wokugcina izinga eliphezulu. Nakuba ukuhamba kwakhe kumenyezelwe ngendlela enokuthula neyomkhosi, abahlaziyi abaningi babona lesi senzo njengophawu lokukhathala okuqongelelekile ngemuva kweminyaka eminingi ehola amaphrojekthi anesabelomali esikhulu kangaka, lapho umkhawulo wamaphutha ungekho khona.
Ukuhamba kukaMark Gordon kwengeza ochungechungeni lokuphuma okudumile kulesi studio esikhathini saso samuva nje, njengoDavid Vonderhaar, naye owashiya iqembu ukuze aqale ibhizinisi lakhe elizimele. Kubonakala sengathi omakadebona bafuna ukuqala kabusha ngaphandle kwesakhiwo sezitudiyo ezinkulu, mhlawumbe bekhathele yizidingo zezinkampani futhi bafuna amaphrojekthi lapho bengaba nokulawula okuqondile kakhulu inqubo yokudala ngaphandle kwemingcele eminingi kangaka.
Ubuholi obusha: uKevin Hendrickson noYale Miller
Kunokuba ashiye isikhala sikagesi esingaphazamisa ukuthuthukiswa kwamaphrojekthi esikhathi esizayo, uTreyarch usethathe isinyathelo ngokushesha, eqoka abazolandela ababili. Kusukela manje kuqhubeke, uKevin Hendrickson noYale Miller bazoba ngabaphathi endimeni yokuqondisa ngokubambisana. Bobabili sebeyizisebenzi zesikhathi eside kulesi studio, sebesebenze iminyaka eminingi ezindimeni zobuchwepheshe nezokukhiqiza, ngakho-ke bayayazi i-DNA yochungechunge ngaphakathi nangaphandle futhi bayaqonda ukuthi imishini yangaphakathi ye-Activision isebenza kanjani.
Lesi sinqumo sokukhetha ubuholi obuhlanganyelwe sihloselwe kakhulu ukuvikela isiko langaphakathi lesitudiyo nokuqinisekisa ukuthi ijubane lokukhiqiza alithinteki. UMiller, owajoyina ngo-2017, kanye noHendrickson, onesizinda sokuba yisekela likamongameli e-Activision uqobo , babhekene nenselele yokubuyisela uphawu lwe-Black Ops ezinsukwini zalo zodumo lwezentengiselwano, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokwamukelwa okungatheni kwezingxenye zakamuva ezivela emphakathini jikelele.
Ngesikhathi lokhu kushintshwa kwenzeka, amahemuhemu embonini ayaqhubeka nokusabalala. Kuthiwa isitudiyo silungiselela ngokuthula ukuphinda kwenziwe kabusha kweBlack Ops 1 kanye ne-2 , into abalandeli abebelokhu beyikhalazela isikhathi eside. Ukuvuza okuvela kudathabheyisi ye-PlayStation kusikisela ukuthi lezi zinhlelo zakudala zingafika maduze kuhadiwe yesimanje, kufaka phakathi i-PS5 kanye nomlandeli wesikhathi esizayo we-Nintendo Switch, okuzosiza ekuqedeni idumela ngenkathi umdlalo omkhulu olandelayo uthuthukiswa kancane kancane.
Asikwazi ukukhohlwa ukuthi lokhu kuguqulwa kabusha kwenzeka ngaphansi kwesambulela se-Xbox esilungiswa kabusha ngokuphelele. Ukungaqiniseki ngekusasa lamanye ama-studio ngaphansi kwebhena le-Microsoft kubeke yonke imboni esiqaphile, futhi yize iTreyarch ibonakala ivikelwe amandla ayo ezezimali , akekho ozimisele ukubheja kuyo. Isimo siyashintsha ngesivinini esikhulu, futhi izindima zokuphatha zendabuko zivumela izindlela ezintsha zokusebenzisa lezi zidlakela zokuzijabulisa.
Ekugcineni, sibona ukuphela kwenkathi yomlando kuTreyarch kanye nomphakathi wabadlali abakhulele ebunhlolini bayo kanye nezindaba zeMpi Yomshoshaphansi. UMark Gordon uyahamba esebeke izinga eliphezulu kakhulu futhi eshiya isakhiwo sangaphakathi esilungisiwe okuzodingeka sibonakalise ukubaluleka kwaso ezinyangeni ezizayo, ebhekene nenselele yokugcina ingqikithi ye-Black Ops iphila ngenkathi ejwayela izidingo ezintsha zemakethe engathetheleli ngisho nephutha elilodwa ekukhishweni kwayo kwaminyaka yonke.
