On September 15, in Makuhari Messe, Chiba ken, Japan, ‘Tokyo Game Show 2016’ was opened.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary this year, ‘Tokyo Game Show 2016,’ the show that represents Japan, is co-hosted by Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) and Nikkei BP, and specially cooperated with DWANGO. The event is organized into a business-day on September 15 and 16, when only game business people and mass communication officials can enter, and a public-day on September 17 and 18, when all the visitors can enter.

At New Otani Hotel near the event hall, Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia (SIEJA) progressed a presentation session presenting a new title. In this session, it introduced about the main titles published by SIE affiliated developers and major publishers and explained the features of the games.

On the first day of event, ‘Call of Duty Infinite Warfare’ session, which is a shooter game developed by Infinity Ward and released from Activision, was prepared, and Taylor Kurosaki, Narrative Director of Infinity Ward, was a presenter for the session.

Away from the traditional battle based on a horizontal movement, the biggest feature of this work is the situation that ‘how to use the situation properly in a new environment, gravity-free space?’ requires a new strategy with more various methods such as moving in gravity-free state and rotating 360-degree using tools like grappling hook. Also, by moving in 360-degree with a space jet fighter called ‘Jackal’ and using both major and minor weapons, a player can experience the new game play.

A group called ‘Settlement Defense Front (SDF)’ is appeared as a new enemy and it insists itself an owner of the solar system by moving between planets although it is a group of humans from the Earth. As it attacks USS of Geneva, in Switzerland, Lt. Nick Yeles whom a player controls is promoted to a captain, and at the same time, he becomes a captain of one of the last two ships and the main character of magnificent drama.

Kurosaki, who introduced about the game, said, “The volume of campaign mode is satisfactory to fans, and we tried to give the meaning of becoming a leader in a certain situation. It is introduced that, especially during the side missions, user’s choices of giving orders as a leader sometimes bring changes to the game.

Multiplay focuses on the battle in the front line and provides rewards fitting user’s various playing styles. 12 maps that reconstructed the spaces appeared in the game are provided as multiplay maps, and they made the play not to be boring by providing various ways of tasks and reduced loading time.

Meanwhile, zombie content, which becomes the popular content in every work, is presented with a title of ‘Zombies in Space Land.’ With the background of amusement part called ‘space land’, this zombie content combined the cultures of the 80s and the space of amusement park so that players can enjoy fun.

In case of ‘Call of Duty Modern Warfare’ Remastered version, provided in the legacy edition, it presents outstanding appearance through not only increased the resolution, but also new modelling and improved physical engine. The voices of the characters are the same as the original data instead of newly recording them, so the atmosphere of that time is expressed as much as possible. Killstreak in multiplay is also the same as the original work.

On November 4, ‘Call of Duty Infinite Warfare’ with subtitles of Korean version will be released, and a package of slim version PS4 bundle will be officially released. Especially, the users, who purchase the class higher than legacy edition, are granted the right to play campaign mode of ‘Call of Duty Modern Warfare’ Remarstered version from October 5.

Kurosaki said, “This work newly thought about ‘play’ and ‘player’ from the starting point, so a player would have further enhanced interests that can be experienced in a new space as well as the interests from series’ tradition.”
