Chapter 55 The Burning Battlefield, A New Game Plan
Not surprisingly.
Chen Xu and York Lennon’s marketing for “Battlefield” exploded overnight.
The original game has already gained a lot of popularity due to its excellent quality and word of mouth from players.
And this time, there is a “war” between foreign mouse stations and YouTube, as well as domestic sharks and subtitle stations and other live broadcast websites.
Once again let the heat of “Battlefield” explode.
In the relevant forums and communities of the game, it was directly overwhelmed by players.
‘It looks so cool! ’
‘That’s right, and when there is a commander, the viewing effect is much stronger! ’
‘I also played the map of Mount Grabba when it was launched. The fortress under the fort has the Spitfire and the Sentinel so easy to fight! ’
‘Fuck, is there any elite soldier equipment in this game? I have never picked it up! ’
‘The most awesome thing is that Zeppelin! ’
‘+1, I thought I was going to lose, but it turned out that there was a trick of Zeppelin! ’
‘When it crashes, it’s the time to cause the highest output! Mr. Chen, I got it! ’
‘However, it is only available on the VR side, and the PC side is still more than a month away! ’
………………
In Nebula Game’s office, Chen Xu was leaning on the sofa, touching the tablet in his hand, and reading the comments of these players was also very happy.
“Sure enough, watching players immerse themselves in the game and get happy, I am also very happy!”
Looking at the comments below the game, Chen Xu smacked his lips.
“Especially when I look at the sales data again, I feel even happier!”
York Lennon, also sitting at the other end of the office, was happier.
Although the sales of “Battlefield” have been very scary, in fact, it still has a lot of potential there.
At least due to the influence of that live exhibition match, for the following three consecutive days, the sales remained at a very gratifying number without any obvious drop.
“Mr. Chen, when will your PC version be released?”
York Lennon excitedly asked Chen Xu.
While he’s a gamer fanatic, he’s also a businessman after all.
“Battlefield” on the VR side is so hot, but the PC side also has great potential.
“The development department is already in the process of porting.” Chen Xu said with a smile.
At present, Nebula Games has quietly expanded to a team of about 70 people, and it does not include administration and personnel, but only for the R&D department.
Most of the talents introduced by Qin Yi are the kind of people who want to make games well, but their own company pays attention to short-term revenue and prefers to operate the marketing department, the kind of powerful but useless people.
There are also some fresh graduates who are not strong in terms of experience and technology, but the key is that they are relatively strong in plasticity.
Moreover, Chen Xu is also ambitious, and his future management positions, etc., must be cultivated from his own family.
“But there doesn’t seem to be any game makers that are going to launch competing products for Battlefield!” Chen Xu was also a little surprised.
According to his thoughts, after the popularity of “Battlefield”, there may be a lot of people at home and abroad, who will launch corresponding competing games overnight, ready to seize the market.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s mainly because of my powerlessness. I have to say that you are really a genius to be able to develop “Battlefield”.” York Lennon explained.
It’s not that no one is going to imitate them, but they are all small manufacturers who are not in the mainstream and belong to the heat.
The finished product is also the existence of that kind of quality.
And the big goose games and pig farm games that really entered the domestic front line, it is not that they do not want a piece of the pie.
But the point is that the quality of Battlefield is too explosive, and it’s still a VR game.
No matter how fast it is, it will take at least half a year of development cycle, which is not counting the follow-up testing.
If you want to be faster, you have to invest a lot of manpower and money.
This makes the cost too high.
Moreover, it is not a blue ocean market that no one has seized. “Battlefield” itself is a multiplayer game, and the player’s stickiness is extremely high.
In terms of word of mouth, “Battlefield” also occupies a high ground.
To follow suit and seize the market is too risky.
What is the purpose of making games for these groups of Big Goose Games?
Make money!
It’s not a fight of will.
If you want to copy “Battlefield”, you have the potential to make a lot of money, and you will do it overnight.
But now that I know that it is possible to make a game, and I will lose money if I can’t beat Battlefield, who would want to do this project?
At most, it is to draw a small part of the resources and try to make a similar test water.
But when it will come out and how much the publicity budget will be, it is impossible to say.
Listening to York Lennon’s words, Chen Xu was also stunned.
“However, “Battlefield” is a special case. Now, with the attention of Chen and your Nebula games, the next game will not be so simple.”
“And you have some similarities with our corporate philosophy of Liger and Tiger Entertainment. They are really for the sake of players. Some people want to make money while lying down, but your appearance requires everyone to stand and make money, which is very offending.” York Lennon all sighed with emotion. said.
In recent years, Liger Entertainment has also been targeted by other game publishers and manufacturers overseas.
“We have a saying in Huaxia.” Chen Xu smiled.
“A tough guy who can stand the test of time, a mediocre person who is not envied by others, “Battlefield” will only be the beginning of the Nebula game, not the end.”
If he had just met Chen Xu, York Lennon might think that this was just a manifestation of the other party’s strong self-confidence.
But getting along these days made him realize that there might be something hidden in this sentence.
“Chen, do you have any new game plans for Nebula Games?” York Lennon stood up abruptly, with anticipation in his eyes.
“It’s just that I have an idea, but it’s just an idea at the moment.” Chen Xu nodded, as a confirmation.
Listening to Chen Xu’s words, York Lennon walked back and forth excitedly, his expression was also very complicated, after holding back for ten seconds, he finally said to Chen Xu: “Damn, although I know this is very inappropriate, I still want to By the way, can you tell me what kind of game it is?”
“Of course, if it involves commercial secrets, you don’t have to say it.” After asking the exit, York Lennon realized that something was wrong and continued to add.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a plan at the moment.” Chen Xu shook his head.
“For a service game, having a Battlefield is enough for the time being, so we may make a real stand-alone game next.”
“A dark fantasy style RPG action game.”*
