Yang Chen is discussing some Easter egg contents in "Watch Dogs" with Wang Ye.

"This place is a little more hidden, and we do need players to be able to discover it directly, but it means it should be placed on the surface."

"Add a hidden prompt mission."

It’s not like in "The Last of Us", when Joel and his friends came to the toy store and saw some figures produced by Nebula Games, the details of the game decorated with Easter eggs.

In "Watch Dog", there will be some special Easter egg content.

For example, the linkage with the modern plot of "Assassin's Creed".

The player plays Aiden Pierce, who was originally just for revenge, accidentally discovered some clues about Assassins and the Templars on the way.

Generally speaking, the easter eggs in the game are basically divided into two different attributes.

The most common one is the hidden easter egg.

Usually it is left by members of the game development team, for example, a letter pattern is placed in a stone somewhere in the game.

Or some other content information, and these easter eggs are hidden, and they didn't want players to discover it at the beginning.

Usually, if these easter eggs are not actively searching for them, players are likely to not find these contents even if they pass the game two or three times.

Another type is the easter eggs in the game, which are the real content of the game itself, and are the easter eggs that make players smile.

These easter eggs also have a distinctive feature, that is, they are very easy for players to discover, and even these easter eggs will have a route guide that players cannot detect.

For example, a special task allows players to come to a place near the easter egg, and there are also some clues around that point to the location of the easter egg.

This is a conscious way for players to discover.

In addition to the content of Easter eggs, one thing worth mentioning is that in order to allow players to feel the cool feeling, the action scenes of the game will be greatly improved.

Parkour, climbing, moving, shooting, and close combat systems are all very complicated to restore. At the same time, when fighting in the game occurs, players can also perform the most appropriate stealth based on the cover and enemies in their location.

This is also related to the gameplay of "Watch Dog".

Unlike "GTA"'s fantasy style, because the plot and game style are also the style, the gameplay content of "Watch Dog" is more realistic.

So like "GTA" no matter what kind of task, as long as there is no mandatory force, it will be different when you pick up the gun. "Watch Dog" has some levels that require players to sneak.

Of course, this is not a forced demand, but rather, just like the model in "Metal Equipment: Phantom Pain" at the time, it tends to fight freely.

Players can choose to sneak and kill the least person to complete the task, and they can also choose extremely violent means to be reckless.

But the latter is a little more difficult.

Compared with traditional stealth gameplay, as the game progresses and the players' attitude towards the game changes, this free combat mode occupies a higher proportion. In the future, Yang Chen believes that such a gameplay mode will be more popular with players.

Give the right to choose to decide for themselves, and what method is used to complete the game.

"Watch Dog" development progress is very smooth. At the same time, under the expectations of players, Yang Chen and Xingyun Game's official blog also released a time when the game was officially launched based on the current development progress.

After all, this is also the first open world 3A masterpiece on the VR platform of Nebula Games, and early preheating promotion is still very necessary.

However, what surprised many players was that NetDragon also released the launch time of their new work "Wasteland".

Developed by NetDragon, Phoenix Game and Tenghua Game Technology support this meta element game: "Wasteland".

It was launched two weeks earlier than Nebula's Watch Dogs.

As soon as this time came out, many domestic and foreign game manufacturers were rarely lost, especially Uegame and Epike were actively promoting their own meta games not long ago. At this moment, they were pretending to be dead, and there was no movement at all. Including promotion, they were just posting some original paintings and background content on the official blog to maintain their popularity.

I want to see how NetDragon's performance is. If the response is good, it will naturally step up and fight a beautiful battle while the meta elements are not popular yet.

As for the lack of popularity, there are naturally two options. The first option is to directly cancel the project and stop the loss in time, the second option is to reduce the subsequent budget, and then return to the online market.

Ma Lei doesn't know what the situation is like outside, but in the NetDragon conference room, Ma Lei is quite happy.

Because according to the feedback from internal tests, the quality of the game "Wasteland" can be said to be quite outstanding.

What surprised Ma Lei was that after their Wasteland announced the release time, Nebula Games also released the launch time of "Watch Dogs", and this time point was two weeks after "Wasteland" was launched.

I won’t talk about other places!

At least I finally won once in this online time!

Looking at NetDragon's internal review of "Wasteland" and the time when Nebula Games announced that "Watch Dogs" was launched, Ma Lei felt proud.

Finally! I got a chance!

Previously, NetDragon's three major snipers targeting Nebula Games, each time the product was behind others, which led to Nebula Games' games taking the lead, but the quality was really excellent, which led to them losing several times.

And if they can get the lead, Ma Lei feels that they can still play.

After all, it is too important to take the lead.

Just like playing League of Legends, even if you have a little bit of equipment and head disadvantage, as long as you can fight a beautiful first move, you can still win the team battle.

And now, they finally got the advantage of taking the lead!

This made Ma Lei very excited!

This is another phased victory!

"Super Heroes" that worked with Aipec before has made a very obvious progress, from being forced to being able to eat tower swords and experience. Unfortunately, Aipec became timid and stopped mingling with them.

But now they have another advantage and take the lead!

Everything is walking in the good direction.
Chapter completed!
