I Developed Battlefield to Drive Players Around the World Crazy

Chapter 317 Silent Hill Pt

The big goose and the relevant person in charge in the Phoenix game are in a bad mood.

Because according to various operational data, the popularity of “Rainbow Six: Siege” cannot be compared with the peak of the week that just came out.

But after the launch of the new version, it has been rising recently.

It has even completely crushed other FPS games on the VR platform.

The new games of the two of them cannot be said to be of poor quality.

But in the face of “Rainbow Six: Siege”, it is really more than enough.

Coupled with the same engine development, the big crash of the same type of fps game.

If you really want to go online, you will definitely be hit a bit miserably.

Even for the two, they have only considered changing some content, and then let the two games rely on “Rainbow Six: Siege”.

It’s not the game mode, but the operating mode.

The two games do not follow the buyout strategy, but follow the operation strategy of free + skin in-app purchase.

After all, according to this model, the new games of the two of them may really become cannon fodder in the end.

Now in the same free and in-app purchase mode, depending on the style, it may be able to attract a group of players.

As for the core designer characters of the two games, they are definitely reluctant to make changes to the games.

But for the two game companies, they must maximize their interests.

Who can’t get along with money?

And Nebula Games’ Rainbow Six: Siege has indeed proved that this approach is feasible.

Originally, they also thought that the popularity of “Rainbow Six: Siege” would gradually decline, and the subsequent earnings might be weak.

But after Nebula Games announced the monthly profit in the first month, the fiery phenomenon caused by the linkage of the new version has completely made them understand one thing.

That is, Rainbow Six: Siege’s monetization is absolutely fine.

As long as the content of the game is okay, this is a cash cow.

And the linkage is not only the games under Nebula Games.

If at this time, Nebula Games finds their big goose and wants to take the image authorization of a classic character and give the conditions for skin sharing.

Will their goose refuse?

Certainly not!

After all, it is still the same sentence, who would dislike less money?

For “Rainbow Six: Siege”, it is very simple to make more money, just develop a few good-looking gun skins in the game.

Inside the Nebula Gaming Office

Chen Xu opened the company’s internal mailbox, and Qin Yi had already sent a work report.

After the development of the VR version of “Rainbow Six: Siege” was completed.

The team also sent more people to port the game to the PC and NS, after all, compared to the NS in the previous life.

The NS developed by Nebula Games has much higher hardware configuration.

The resolution and texture of “Rainbow Six: Siege” are slightly compressed, and can run smoothly at 60 frames.

There is nothing special about the two versions of “Rainbow Six: Siege”, mainly cutting out some actions that are only available in VR.

In addition, there are three different versions of data exchange.

Of course, the data exchange here refers to the inventory in the game.

Chen Xu also didn’t think about saying that the skins that players had on the VR were gone on the PC, and they had to buy them again.

No matter what platform the player is on, the recharge amount and the purchased skin are all synchronized.

But if the player pool is different, the platforms will be separated.

After all, the experience is completely different. For example, if NS and PC players are matched in the same game, the advantage of using the keyboard and mouse will definitely be much greater than that of the players who use the joystick.

So this is also to ensure the fairness of the game, and for the current Nebula game, there is no need to worry about the problem that the player pool is not enough to match people.

After dealing with the transplantation of PC and NS, Chen Xu leaned on his chair and considered the next R&D plan.

At this time, assistant Jiang Wan knocked on the door and came in, reporting: “Mr. Chen, Midstream VR Group invited us to participate in this year’s product test”

“Product testing?” Chen Xu leaned forward and put the relevant materials in front of Jiang Wan’s hands.

For midstream VR, it belongs to the largest VR game company in China, and like some special industries, it belongs to state-owned enterprises.

“A more realistic experience, a new generation of VR game warehouse? Ask us to customize the content for safety testing?

After reading the relevant information in Jiang Wan’s hands, Chen Xu also understood what happened.

Whether at home or abroad, the VR hardware segment obviously wants to become the boss.

Just like Lao Ren in the previous life rose to dominate after the collapse of Atari, all practitioners in the game industry have to look at Lao Ren’s face, and the power money system is a product of that time.

In the field of VR, both domestic and foreign companies want to use it to win the highest market share, and then formulate their own standards.

Now it is obviously ready to enter the next generation. After the hardware, it is the turn of contacting software vendors such as them to put forward various opinions.

And this part is basically competitive. In such a global market situation, unlike Chen Xu’s previous exclusive games on NS, no manufacturer of VR will monopolize it.

In other words, even the two top VR manufacturers at home and abroad cannot afford this amount of money.

After all, it’s useless if it’s less, and a phenomenon-level game has no way to crush it all.

When the original NS was launched, it was invincible in the market, and only with excellent games could it dominate the world.

But VR is completely different.

“Help me contact Midstream, the day after tomorrow… No, tomorrow I will go to its headquarters to discuss this cooperation in person.” Chen Xu said towards Jiang Wan.

In the field of VR, Chen Xu did not intend to enter, at least not now.

After all, this one is no longer just a business competition.

As for cooperation, it is definitely necessary.

Not to mention other things, it is also necessary to say that for the next generation, Nebula Games does not lag behind in technology.

A day later, at the R&D center of Midstream VR Group.

Chen Xu, Qin Yi and a series of designers from well-known domestic game manufacturers such as Big Goose and Phoenix are all discussing.

The realism of the game warehouse has risen by more than a notch. “Qin Yi thought about the experience just now and said to Chen Xu.

“The main reason is that the adaptation is so well done. Not to mention the immersive sound effects and visual feedback, the most important thing is that there is a constant temperature and vibration.” Chen Xu was also amazed.

Wearing a somatosensory feedback suit and gloves, sleeping in the game room, Chen Xu’s feeling just now is real.

Even with the air conditioner of the game warehouse, it can simulate the temperature in the game.

For example, in “Red Dead Redemption: Redemption”, if this set of game warehouses is used, then players will come to snowy mountains or deserts.

Both can simulate temperature changes to further enhance the player’s sense of immersion.

“However, the security system also needs to be changed, and excessive immersion will also bring about a lot of negative effects.” Qin Yi whispered towards Chen Xu.

Take “Dark Soul” as an example, if the level of immersion in the experience warehouse just now, it will make players feel persuaded to quit.

“So that’s why Midstream VR invited us here. They wanted to create a standard. In the face of different games, the immersion of the game warehouse will be different, and the security system will also need to be reworked. Chen Xu nodded.

(Get Zhao) Because the immersion is too strong, the feedback in some places needs to be made less immersive.

It sounds a bit funny and contradictory, but after the actual experience, Chen Xu can understand the meaning of these words.

And in terms of the current immersion, if players experience a certain game, they will be scared of problems.

In the end, it must be the midstream VR that received the biggest impact, not the game manufacturer.

“Mr. Chen, do you have any ideas?” Qin Yi asked.

“Already have an idea.” Chen Xu nodded lightly.

Several game designers who were also discussing next to him, when they heard Chen Xu’s words, all looked at him curiously.

“P.T. The name of the new game.” Chen Xu didn’t care either, and said with a smile.

“PT? What does this mean? The code name of the game?” A designer from Big Goose Game next to him couldn’t hold back his curiosity.

“That’s right, the acronym for PlayableTeaser. After all, we can’t say that we are developing a complete game, and a game demo is also a kind of playable preview.” Chen Xu said with a smile.

“As for the name, it’s called Silent Hill.”
