Chapter 553 Still too conscientious

If there were still some people at the beginning to be a bit strange about whether Overwatch would be successful, then as Overwatch became more and more popular day by day, everyone also understood that Nebula Games has created another hit game.

And it is also a new fps game.

But what makes most industry insiders feel a little bit emotional is that Nebula Games is still not "black" enough!

The profitability of Overwatch's skin is a little bit conscientious.

It is actually like the current "League of Legends", all have a complete set of skins. If they come here, even if they don't increase in in-app purchases, they can still play with their skins.

For example, clothes and weapons are separated, and hair and facial shapes are also separated.

The weapon box of sledgehammers, such as ordinary hammers, and the Grim Reaper's Scythe, will be used for you to get all kinds of particle effects.

"Nebula Games are still strong! The number of players in Overwatch seems to have exceeded 20 million, right?"

"I don't know, but it should be the same. The key is that this game is really poisonous. Now I'm full of voices like 'going to the Lijiang Tower'."

"Originally, Call of Duty has forced a split of the market for FPS games, but now Overwatch has come out again. As long as this momentum is maintained, even if the popularity drops in the future, it will be at the top level. Now the market for domestic FPS games has been finalized."

"But next, I feel that many people will imitate "Overwatch"."

"If it's League of Legends, that's not surprising, but if there's someone going to copy it, I'm really not optimistic."

"The +1 that are not good-looking are all free games, and Overwatch is not "League of Legends". As a combination of FPS and Moba, let's not talk about hero skills. Just shooting and action feel are not something that ordinary game manufacturers can imitate."

"It is also the Nebula game that is developing these games today. When the Nebula game was first developed, the movements and shooting feel of the Nebula game were completely different from now on!"

"It's all made of money!"

Everyone is discussing it in an industry forum where game designers gather.

I couldn't help but sigh.

The shooting feel and action elements are still quite a test of the team's ability even if Yang Chen checks them.

The original team also made progress little by little from the earliest "The Traveler of the Eight Directions" to the later "Escape".

If the team came up and did a work like "Call of Duty" or "Second Wolf: Shadow Falls Two", the essence of it would definitely not be reproduced.

Moreover, the previous games were more of a deviant way, such as the nostalgia of "Eight-Way Traveler" hitting players, and "Escape" and "Resident Evil" are not purely games that allow players to experience action and shooting.

As long as the atmosphere is excellent enough and the story is well told, players can buy it.

But even though I know, I know that "Overwatch" and "League of Legends" are not the same type of games, but there are still many game manufacturers and designers working overtime to launch design drafts of similar games.

I never thought of surpassing Overwatch, but just wanted to take advantage of the popularity of Overwatch to have a sip of soup.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t eat meat, but if you can drink a sip of soup, it’s a success.

Wouldn’t it be a Tang Master?

However, this time, there was no movement in the three major games, including Net Dragon and Phoenix Game.

They naturally see this big fat piece of Overwatch. Even if it is under the three major brands, it is a pillar-level game project, not to mention that Overwatch has a good reputation.

Moreover, its performance is not only in the game, but more importantly in the IP aspect.

In addition to the game "Overwatch", it also attracted many players who did not play the game to play the roles in the game. Many people even got into the trap simply because of a character in "Overwatch".

A game always has its life cycle. Of course, if it is well operated, a game can last for several years or even longer.

But an IP game that players can remember is the endless stream of Kingsoft.

Overwatch doesn't seem to have this trend at the moment, but at least it has such potential.

There was no big deal about Tenghua. In addition to the latest open world 3a game mentioned before, the main resources are all placed on mobile games.

Although there are few classic games that can continue to be popular in mobile games, the money is not bad at all.

Including NetDragon and Phoenix games, the main outputs are also derived from mobile games.

On the contrary, Nebula Games has not involved much in the mobile game industry. Although there were several test works before, including an Otome game, it was only popular for a while.

Moreover, compared with the PC platform, mobile games have another fatal disadvantage, that is, channels.

The fast-paced mobile game field is more leveraged than the PC platform.

This is obviously a big problem for Nebula Games.

…………

In the NetDragon conference room, Ma Lei couldn't help but feel a little headache when he looked at the latest quarterly data.

Compared with the previous revenue of NetDragon in mobile games and online games, it has dropped significantly.

Especially for several of its classic games, they basically have the situation of cutting leeks and not moving too much.

Unlike ordinary bosses, Ma Lei is quite familiar with the game.

Several IP games that NetDragon earns the pillar have basically entered the end of their life. In simple terms, the root of the leek is about to be cut.

"The 3a project, don't pay too much attention to "Overwatch". Unlike "League of Legends", this game requires too much resources. It's better to focus on the A plan. If it can be successful, you can confirm that the flow-through 3a game is feasible." Ma Lei looked at everyone in the conference room and made a decision quickly.

Not only NetDragon, but also the same is true for Tenda and Phoenix games.

An ordinary original IP mobile game, and a mobile game with a well-known 3A masterpiece, if you don’t know the quality of the game, which one is better to cut the leeks?

There is no doubt that it is the latter!

Ma Lei has also seen the failure of "The Legend of Dragon and Phoenix" clearly. Don't think so much about what is missing for the time being.

It is still mainly focused on stability. According to the template of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", even if it cannot reach that level, as a good open-world game, there should be no problem.

Then we will have a wave of mobile games, online games, and a wave of leeks. Wouldn’t the financial report of the new quarter look good in an instant?

This also has an easy explanation for investors.

You can't always have bad financial reports, and you have to brag about the outside world, saying that this is betting in advance on the A or VR industry, all to seize the future market.
Chapter completed!
