Chapter 235 Monster Hunter: World, Monthly Pass)
After Chen Xu left, everyone in the team couldn't help but discuss it.
"Hunt? The new game is actually a hunting theme? It seems that this type is relatively niche, right?" Ruan Ningxue said strangely.
Although the Nebula gaming platform is at its peak, and the popularity of "Minecraft" is very popular.
However, according to the subsequent developments discussed with them at the meeting before, Nebula Games should be mainly large-scale games.
The main purpose is to further expand the stickiness of platform players.
After all, for the platform, independent games and small and medium-sized games from second- and third-tier manufacturers are the cornerstones of a platform.
But masterpieces that also act as facades are also important and need to continue to attract players.
But hunting games, both domestic and foreign, seem to be nothing great.
"Yes, it seems that the best hunting game sold is "Wilderness" produced by foreign UA companies. Moreover, games with this theme seem to be very likely to arouse opposition from some foreign animal protection associations." Yang Xin nodded in agreement and said.
"By the way, Brother Qin, weren't you responsible for the optimization and research of new AI technologies before? The new work must be applied, right?" Lin Tao next to him thought of something and asked Qin Yi, who had been silent.
When he heard someone finally asked him, Qin Yi, who had been silent, smiled and coughed gently: "Ahem, of course! The performance of the new AI technology will definitely be very experienced. In fact, it is reported that Mr. Chen's initial plan seemed to want to make a game that can be used in a large number of NPCs."
"But during the test, I found that the current technical strength was still not enough, even the VR platform was not good. Although it was not impossible to castrate, the greatest AI expression would be gone, so in the end, Mr. Chen proposed a solution, that is, to express AI on specific monsters, so that players can feel the joy of hunting, and finally finalize the hunting game." Qin Yi thought of the previous conversation with Chen Xu in the office, and was also excited.
"That's how it is!" Ruan Ningxue and others suddenly realized, and then they also made up various pictures in their minds.
"The latest AI technology gives players a lively hunting experience, which seems to be a little interesting." Lin Tao guessed.
"Lions, tigers, and even we can be more bold, such as saber-toothed tigers and mammoths that have disappeared, which can all become hunting prey!" Yang Xin carried out a bold setup.
"But what should I do if the background of the game?" Ruan Ningxue considered the background of the game.
"This is not simple. The space-time shuttle machine is just like the poachers today. The space-time shuttle machine has been successfully developed in the future. However, some criminals use the space-time shuttle machine to return to the past to hunt rare and extinct animals in the future. However, this will generate a space-time paradox that will cause the existence information of this creature to disappear completely in the future. Therefore, the role played by the player is to stop the existence of these space-time poachers." Yang Xin's mind was opened.
"Sister Xin, isn't this an action adventure game? Mr. Chen is talking about a hunting game. This is a restrictive poacher's existence. You can't know the law and break the law, right?" Ruan Ningxue said.
"Then let the player play poacher? It's not okay. These three views are not very positive." Yang Xin scratched his head.
………………………………………
And in the lounge, Ruan Ningxue and the others were still boldly making assumptions and carefully thinking about it.
In the office, Chen Xu is perfecting the concept design draft that is about to be developed.
"Monster Hunter: World", the computer screen displays the next project name to develop the game.
In fact, before that, Chen Xu, who benefited from AI's latest technology, originally wanted to develop some other types of games.
For example, an open world game.
Compared to sandbox games, it can be said that open world games are definitely an equally great game type.
But it is completely opposite to sandbox games.
Both have one common core, that is, make players feel free.
But there are completely different contradictions between the two.
That is, sandbox games create the world, while open world games are designers creating a world, allowing players to become part of it.
Therefore, many players will confuse these three different types, namely sandbox, box courtyard, and open world.
If you want to show players a vivid open world, then NPC is an inevitable existence.
Through the latest AI technology, if the NPC performance in the game can be more logical, it will undoubtedly make the player's experience full of upsurge.
Because a living world is the standard for an open world, of course, exploration and decryption like picnics belongs to another major direction.
However, after testing, based on the current technology and the hardware standards of players, it is still not enough to show the effect Chen Xu wants.
It can be a rare number, single or multiple organisms, showing the performance of AI, which is completely possible.
Therefore, after some tests, Chen Xu also decided to choose Monster Hunter. After all, it can be said that it is quite consistent with the current feedback.
As for why I chose "Monster Hunter: World", it is mainly because it is quite special.
"Monster Hunter: World" is definitely a milestone work in the Monster Hunter series.
It can even be said that it has officially saved the monster hunting series that is on the verge of death.
In the past life, Monster Hunter has always been on the handheld platform, but the sales of the entire series have been falling continuously. At p3, sales reached a peak of 5 million, but by xx, it did not even reach 2 million.
So this series finally decided to make a revolutionary breakthrough, which is to say goodbye to the weak performance of the handheld console and launch the host and PC versions.
In the end, Monster Hunter: World made all players' eyes shine.
Because it is from this work that players really feel that the ancient dragon that was once hunted was so magnificent.
It turns out that the world where the ancient dragon is located is so magnificent.
At the same time, some targeted optimizations have been made for the new monster hunter, such as canceling the reading area settings, and finally there is no need to sing and then posing in a strange position when drinking medicine.
While retaining the original core fun, we optimize the negative experience a lot to make the battles of the entire game smoother.
Of course, the difficulty reduction is also one aspect. After all, the previous series also has super special difficulties, such as 14.
In contrast, the setting of Li Zhan King in "Monster Hunter: World" is too gentle.
After all, in the difficulty mode of Super and Baisi, our cute little hunter may have to go back to the camp to retouch after being rubbed by the dragon's feet, tail, and wings. How can normal players withstand it?
It takes care of the newbie experience, coupled with a coherent open world, a complete and vivid ecological chain, and a thrilling hunting experience.
Make Monster Hunter: World the hottest work in the series.
Sales volume exceeded 7.5 million in the first month.
