Chapter 914 Who do you do if you don't do it?
Videos, live broadcasts, and game media have carried out large-scale publicity in all aspects, and finally "Wasteland" was officially launched.
The various promotions before this can be said to have aroused the appetite of players. There is no suspense that "Wasteland" directly reached the top of the sales list.
NetDragon is already eager to put out a slogan with sales of over 2.2 million on the first day.
This sales volume is actually not high, but as a special new type of game, metagame is a good and acceptable sales volume.
But this is not the key, the most eye-catching thing is the media ratings and the player's comments.
‘It feels really shocking to use the VR mode to express the meta game! I walked out of Ruins Town at the beginning, and then the whole town was invaded by zombies because I walked out. After I re-read the file, the AI intelligence in Ruins Town warned me that it really scared me.’
‘+1, it also feels like being scared to pee. Although it is a bit similar to the mode of Nebula’s "Under the Legend", the VR mode is really shocking!’
‘I’m almost ready to pass the liver, but unfortunately the process is not long, only about twelve hours, but when the truth is revealed in the end, it’s really creepy. The zombies are not unconscious, but on the contrary, this is not the doomsday, but a new species evolution, and it is the humans themselves who are eliminated!’
With a 94% positive review rate, it can be said that the reputation is explosive.
In the NetDragon conference room, Ma Lei looked at the comments of players under the platform, and he waved his fist excitedly.
This is not a water army score that you bought with money!
This is the rating given by a living player!
Ma Lei is still very concerned about the game "Wasteland".
Because after this game, it was Nebula's "Watch Dog" turn to be launched.
So Ma Lei hopes that "Wasteland" can be a big hit.
Now, although the sales at the beginning did not meet expectations, it is a brand new type of game after all, so it is normal for players to wait and see. With such a good reputation, the subsequent sales should usher in a blowout!
Seeing the media and players’ praises, Ma Lei was a little excited.
Could it be that they really want to win this time?
Can you really do the Nebula Game this time?
At this moment, it was not only Ma Lei who was excited, but also the major game manufacturers were very surprised.
NetDragon has something to do!
Is meta games really profitable?
This time Nebula Games has made wedding dresses for others?
I developed the concept of meta-game myself, and then the one who ate meat was NetDragon.
And judging from this trend, if Nebula Games’ "Watch Dog" is not powerful, then isn’t this invincible golden body broken?
Is Nebula Game going to tie yourself up?
And Ethan in Epike has a little self-doubt. Could it be that they are Epike?
Before this, he had been against Nebula Games and was defeated repeatedly. Then he hooked up with the three NetDragons, but he still couldn't beat them.
Now that they want to hook up with Nebula Games, the three NetDragons are coming in full force, and it seems that they are really going to be Nebula Games.
Could it be that they are really dragging their feet?
It shouldn't be!
When Ethan was self-doubting, Grayson was also very entangled in the uegame conference room on the other side. Although they were partners with Nebula Games and Nebula Games had rescued them, the sexy operation of Epike on "Civilization" not long ago still made them feel a crisis, so the birth of "Justice Police" was born.
In addition, although it is a cooperative relationship, if there is a day when Nebula Games comes to their market, then you will definitely have to fight if you should fight. After all, are the interests related?
But for now, their uegame still needs Nebula Games, but Nebula Games are too powerful.
Now Grayson feels very confused, and he hopes that Nebula Game will win, and he hopes that Nebula Game will lose.
However, compared to others who were worried about Nebula Games, Yang Chen was not panicked at all, especially after he experienced NetDragon's "Wasteland", he was even less panicked.
It is really a good game. After the experience, Yang Chen gave a positive answer, and what surprised Yang Chen was that NetDragon is worthy of being an old first-tier manufacturer. Although there were no similar games in meta games before, they still grasped the points of it well, and some of the reversals also surprised Yang Chen.
Unfortunately, it still cannot threaten "Watch Dogs" because it is a very important point.
That is, "Wasteland" is a plot-oriented game, and it is not a plot-oriented game like "The Last of Us".
The most core gameplay of "Wasteland" is the same as "Under the Legend", which is a reversal that unexpectedly happened to the player, and this reversal is the true core of the plot.
Unlike the interactive and immersive plot of "The Last of Us", its core point is the meta element, which leads to the effect of the plot interactions being concentrated in the game, and the experience of breaking the fourth wall.
This kind of experience has a very well-known disadvantage, that is, if you know it in advance, it will make the player feel bored and the sense of surprise will be greatly reduced.
To make a metaphor, meta games are like reasoning. The most exciting thing is to reveal the way of killing people and the feeling that the final murderer is beyond your expectations, which makes people unexplain.
But the problem is that if you already know in advance how the victim died, know the method of killing, and know who the murderer was, then the immersion will be over.
This is also a common problem with the plot to play games. Even "The Last of Us" has more so-called cloud players than those who actually buy the game based on feedback from big data.
Because this kind of plot game can get a high experience if you just watch it. Moreover, "The Last of Us" focuses more on interactive immersion experience, such as avoiding the soundtrack in the game and various interactions with Ally, which are all within the scope of play, but even so, many players choose not to buy it, but pass the video level. What's more, "Wasteland" on NetDragon has not focused on interactive experience.
And unlike before, with the development of the Internet era, there are fewer and fewer purely plot-driven games, and more and more open worlds and sandbox gameplay. The most important point is that it is difficult to resist and is spoiled.
Video websites, game forums, live broadcast websites, and even player review areas, as well as game groups, can be spoiled if you are not careful.
In this case, if you want to experience the fun of "Wasteland" as soon as possible, you can only purchase it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, players' desire to buy will become lower and lower, even if this is a good game.
After all, I know everything about your plot, why do I still want to buy your game?
Even if your game is very outstanding and you want to experience it yourself, most players will just choose to wait for your discount to buy it, rather than buying it at your original price.
"Increasing the promotion of "Watch Dogs" is a good opportunity. The two games are launched. Although the time when "Watch Dogs" is still the day when most companies pay their salaries, they are two masterpieces of the same period. Some players with limited budgets will naturally choose more fun games."
Looking at Wang Ye and Brandon, Yang Chen, who was sitting in his seat, said with a smile.
Net Dragon insists on hitting the gun, so he can't blame him!
A plot-oriented game, competing with an open world game that focuses on actual gameplay experience, who do you do if you don’t?
