Although it is an old game, the popularity brought by "The Wrath of the Lich King" is too great.

Whether it is players or countless game media in the industry, they are paying attention to the new version of World of Warcraft.

Domestic and foreign professional guilds have been working hard to get the first kill in the new version of the dungeon.

And there is a meeting inside Nebula Games now.

"Big IP games that include Nebula Games and other manufacturers?"

"Is it the kind that makes it into "dota"?"

"It seems to be quite a bit of a problem, but isn't this a scramble for the market with us?"

In the conference room of Nebula Games, the core development team is whispering.

Those who sit in the conference room are basically the core employees of Nebula Games, so they are naturally clear about recent actions.

From various manufacturers, Nebula Games has obtained many well-known IP authorizations.

In addition, before this, the company issued a very strange work task, which is to experience these classic series of games, and to collect all the plots and pass the level.

Combined with the direction of the meeting, it is obviously a game that covers many big IPs.

This is amazing.

“None are not.”

Chen Xu, who was sitting in the first seat, listened to everyone's low conversation and smiled slightly.

Then, on the big screen behind him, a brief plan appeared.

Looking at the words above, the core development team members such as Qin Yi and Yang Xin all showed surprise and confusion.

Because on the big screen, the title displayed is very simple.

ftg (fighting action game), of course, has a simpler and clearer name for players, that is: fighting game.

Everyone looked at Chen Xu a little confused.

As for the reason, it is naturally because of this game type.

If horror games are niche.

Then the fighting game can be said to have been forgotten in a certain corner.

I haven't heard of this type of game for many years.

Fighting games are really like meteors, leaving a brilliant light in the history of the game, and then disappearing.

Apart from some so-called fighting companies, they can still make money with the once glorious IPs. There are basically no new game manufacturers making trouble on this type, and even fighting games that may even come out throughout the year, including independent game designers, will not exceed double digits.

Especially Meng Zuo, who was responsible for discussing with major manufacturers before, was completely confused at this time.

With these IP authorization, he has thought about many aspects, including big IP games. But he never thought that this IP game would be a fighting game!

"Mr. Chen, is this new work a fighting game?"

Although the title of this meeting has been shown on the big screen.

But Qin Yi and others couldn't help but confirm with Chen Xu again.

"That's right."

Looking at the confused expressions on everyone's face, Chen Xu nodded with a faint smile on his face.

Chen Xu was not surprised by the confusion of everyone present.

Because fighting games are really niche.

If you want to say that a game can best show the player's operating skills, then fighting games are definitely ranked first.

The winners and losses of fps games account for 50% based on shooting skills, tactics account for 30%, the remaining 20% ​​belong to team cooperation, and 10% belong to luck.

For example, gambling points, catching time, etc., it can be said that these are all lucky components.

There is no need to say more about games like dota. Most heroes even have elements of luck bonus. A person with bad luck plays a Phantom Assassin is equivalent to having fewer skills, while if they are lucky, it is equivalent to having one more large item.

Guer

The same is true for rts. Technology accounts for a larger proportion of dota and fps, but in short, there may be some luck factors.

For example, when you first survey the enemy's base, you can survey it immediately or if you are not lucky, you can survey it in the end. This is a completely different result.

Only then fighting games can be said to be the purest technical game.

If you can beat it, you can beat it, and if you can't beat it, you can't beat it.

But it is just too fair, which makes fighting games have a fatal disadvantage, that is, the difficulty of getting started.

Street Fighter, who opened up the fighting game craze in his previous life, broke the fighting game pattern and established a new innovative Samurai Soul. He was the indelible legend of the hungry wolf and the extended King of Fighters in the history of the development of the subsequent 2D fighting game.

And the 3D fighting game prologue VR warrior and later Iron Fist.

These fighting games can be said to be very outstanding.

But these games have fatal drawbacks, that is, they are difficult to get started.

It directly led to the desolation of fighting games such as Street Fighter, Iron Fist, King of Fighters and other battle games.

Of course, this is also related to the factors of the times, because this type of game has one common feature, that is, it has risen in the arcade era.

The main source of income for arcade games is actually not the players, but the owner of the arcade shop. Therefore, early arcade games all had one common feature, that is, it was difficult!

It’s not difficult, how to eat players’ coins?

Such development ideas have been extended to the era of home computers.

Games from the early home computer era, such as Super Mary who jumped on the platform, Demon Realm Village where the scrolls passed, Island of Adventure, Conra, etc., can be said to be absolutely exceeding the standard in terms of life given to players, the process and difficulty of the game.

The difficulty of exceeding the standard was, on the one hand, related to the capacity of the game cartridges and the duration of the game content at that time, and on the other hand, the main reason was that it was influenced by the arcade era. After all, the early home computer games were transplanted on arcades, and playing arcades at home was also the selling point of early home computers.

Therefore, in early fighting games, there was one common feature, that is, it was difficult to get started.

With the advancement of the fighting game, the selling point of bloody violence is created, and Mortal Kombat is created with hidden characters, venue switching, team fighting and air combo.

Use attacks to hit, hits, hits, hits, hits, hits, hits, hits, hits, hits, hits, and hits to form the death or life of the rock-scissor system.

These are all existences that once tried to open up a new dynasty in the fighting field, but unfortunately, time has changed, except for Mortal Kombat.

Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Iron Fist, etc. can only rely on fans of the series to survive.

At the beginning, I also planned to fight with hard-working and breasts with bare hands. I shook the death or life of the world, leaving only the latter and the character character, and transformed from a fighting game into a game selling clothes. Members such as Kara, Ayone, Hitomi and Marie Rose are active in major 3D areas and their own beach volleyball.

Among the three major acts, Kui Ye cut from Greece to Nordic Europe, and the strongest ninja Dragon Falcon was still following the ring and hugging the girl.

Fighting games seem to have reached a dead end.

Until a game appeared, it completely changed the type of fighting games.

That is the "Nintendo Star Fight" in the previous life.

The first generation sold more than 5 million copies, and the fifth generation special luxury version sold 12.08 million copies in 24 days, and it was also sold on a single platform.

This is almost a miracle.

This is an extremely special game.

Even when the producers and official publicity are made, they will not say that this is a fighting game, but emphasize that this is a multiplayer action game.

But it can take into account two extreme groups, deep hardcore fighting players, and ordinary players who don’t play fighting games very well.

Moreover, as an IP-oriented game, it is definitely not as simple as other IP-oriented games, just borrowing a skin.

The design concept of its game has influenced many subsequent fighting games.

For example, jump, soul abilities, and Naruto series are all affected by it.

For example, the youth memory passionate heroes, kung fu boys and other players in their previous lives were also deeply influenced by them.

And one more important point is that the "Nintendo Star Fight" definitely does not mean that you put the IP in and it's all done.

As long as players who have played Ren Dou will understand that this game is not only a fighting game, but also a history book of the game era, a love letter to all gamers.

Especially as the special edition of the fifth generation, it is called by countless people that this is the last big fight work.
