Chapter 652: It's not your own money, it doesn't hurt to spend it
In the conference room of Epike Games Headquarters.
Ethan sat in his first seat, watching the latest news through the big screen and listening to other people's reports.
The people present were mainly senior executives from the Northern Storm and Game Marketing Department.
Gun Car Ball can be said to be the three types of games that best represent the preferences of European and American players.
However, unlike the carball where copyright is king, FPS games can be said to be the most competitive game type and the biggest piece of cake.
After all, as long as you win the copyright of each league and authorize it from the manufacturer, as long as it is of exclusive nature, the quality is basically not bad and you can sell it casually with your eyes closed.
Then add a perfect card krypton gold system to it. We don’t do anything like DLC in the single-player plot, but in terms of multiplayer mode, how can we give you some ruthlessness?
Want to build a Galaxy Battleship?
If you want to draw players of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Modric, and De Bruyne, don’t you open hundreds of boxes, would you be embarrassed?
The same is true for basketball, cars, and rugby. As long as you get the copyright of the corresponding club and league, it is not too easy to make money while lying down.
But FPS games are different, and this is based on real fighting.
Epike has also targeted the FPS market before, but once he lacked R&D experience, he came to uegame to dominate the front.
Including the acquisition of Northern Storm Studio, it is to enhance its own ability to develop FPS-type games.
Moreover, the God of Fine Arts is the latest masterpiece of uegame that is actually the kind with a good reputation but sales are not good.
Suddenly Ethan felt that their Apike's opportunity was coming, created by Northern Storm Studios, aiming at the topic of war, and it was not just about riding on the uegame's head to shit.
"The main gameplay of Star Wars is the plot and multiplayer mode, but we can't work on the road of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare."
Depp, the game producer of Northern Storm, said to Ethan.
Currently, the main directions of FPS games are three.
One of them is mainly based on traditional competitive FPS, but this type of game is actually difficult to break through because the player group is very loyal and the related e-sports leagues are already very stable. Maybe you can drink a sip of soup, but you don’t have to think too much about eating meat.
The second is that, like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", it mainly uses fast-paced gameplay and engages in fierce and short-term confrontation.
But there is also one point, that is, with "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" in front of you, and it is also difficult to stand out with the fast-paced FPS gameplay.
Moreover, this fast-paced mode is actually not very suitable for Star Wars.
The third type is a game that tends to be more entertainment-oriented, such as the zombie mode in "Biochemical Survival", or the combination of various heroes and special modes in "Overwatch" to push the rhythm of the game to and entertainment.
This mode also has a relatively large limitation, that is, it is necessary to constantly update new content. It may not be a big breakthrough, but at least it needs to be changed by players. After the success of Overwatch, many game manufacturers have launched similar games, but after a period of time or after trying to compete, they found that this type of game was completely unsuitable. After players can play it, they cannot highlight the settings of personal hero performance, making the feedback of the entire game annoying to win, and it is disgusting to lose.
So after thinking about it, the idea of adding various professions to "Star Wars" and then letting players fight against each other was abandoned by the Northern Storm because this involved a balance issue.
If you make the profession too balanced, you will follow the old path of this type of game. But if it is unbalanced, it will lead to the game being full of certain professions, and the other professions they design are completely meaningless.
"In terms of multiple players in Star Wars, players will be divided into two factions in the early stage, the Earth Resistance Army and the Alien Invasion Army. Both sides will fight fiercely on a star-level warship, and this is also one of the most shocking scenes in the game. Defense and offense are similar to the battle of landing on the beach. Players will fully see the shocking scenes of the war from this plot and gameplay mode."
"And then, we will make some special campaign levels in the game plot into a multiplayer mode, which can also ensure the subsequent popularity."
Listening to Depp's report on Star Wars, Ethan nodded slightly.
This is indeed a very safe approach. Innovation does not necessarily mean success, but greater possibility is failure.
Just like the uegame before, according to Depp, the multiplayer mode of the game is actually the same offensive and defensive mode, but it cleverly uses the plot mode in the game to allow players to have a stronger sense of immersion.
"Do you have any opinions on the situation on uegame?" Ethan asked Depp.
To be honest, Ethan himself couldn't understand the situation on uegame.
You said that facing them, Epike, what is the purpose of reprinting this uegame for a game that has been released for such a long time?
When Depp was stunned when he heard Ethan's words, he asked him?
He didn't know!
After pretending to be pondered for a while, Depp guessed: "Maybe as the players online said, uegame has represented Nebula Game's "Red Alert 2"? And in terms of war themes, it is indeed very suitable to show it through the RTS mode."
Ethan shook his head after hearing this: "The theme of war is just a type. What is really important is the type of fps. Uegame won't understand what we mean."
After pondering for a while, Ethan shook his head: "Complete the development of Star Wars project as soon as possible and make a time difference. No matter what the situation is on the uegame, to ensure the quality of our game, this is the most critical point."
Hearing Ethan's words, Depp nodded quickly.
…………
When all players, including people in the industry, are curious about what uegame is going to do and what connection is with Nebula Games.
In the Nebula Game's motion capture recording room, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang are recording related action elements.
The posture of being shot and death, and the posture of being hit by different weapons and being hit by different parts of death, Yang Chen can be said to have recorded it one after another in "Battlefield".
There are more than 30 feedbacks and postures of death falling in the game alone, plus the feedback effects that are actually matched with the physical engine effects.
Yang Chen could pat his chest and say that players may not be able to see the duplicate after a game of this death scene.
Anyway, it’s not my own money, so I don’t feel sorry for spending it.
Moreover, uegame also waved its hand, indicating that they are not afraid of spending money, but are afraid that the game quality is not good.
Then Yang Chen naturally strives for the best, and the actual effect is indeed amazing.
uegame means wealth and wealth!
"By the way, uegame has already contacted us. We will leave this second warm-up matter to them or to do it." After recording a new content, Wang Yaliang next to him came up and asked Yang Chen.
"Second preheating?" Yang Chen clapped his hands: "Of course we are here! We are professional in drawing big cakes!"
Chapter completed!
