Game Entertainment Empire

The global popularity of "World of Warcraft" is increasing day by day, especially after the Ahn'Qiraj opening event, a large number of new players have poured in.

Compared with games such as "League of Legends" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which still require certain technical content, and knowing how to play, being able to kill people or win can make the fun more fun.

In fact, most ordinary players can also experience the fun of MMORPG games.

Story lovers, as well as equipment fans, can all find their own fun in "World of Warcraft".

MMORPG itself has a strong social attribute. Players spread the word of word, one by one, and soon the number of novice players of "World of Warcraft" ushered in a surge.

At the same time, some domestic and foreign game manufacturers have also launched new versions, and their learning target is also "World of Warcraft".

Based on the feedback received from the Ahn'Qiraj Opening Event, these game manufacturers have also launched similar activities.

It's just that most players don't buy it, which is expected.

After all, the activity of opening the door of Ahn'Qiraj looks very exciting, and it sounds very cool in itself.

But in fact, there are still strict requirements, such as the level of participation of each player in the game, as well as its own plot and related rewards. For "World of Warcraft", these can be regarded as the basic game.

But in addition to this, there is another most important factor, and that is the number of players in the game.

As this kind of version activity for all players in the server, the most important thing about how to give players a sufficient sense of involvement is the number of players participating.

Just like the big battlefield that is the main feature of "Battlefield", if there are not so many players, tanks, and bombers in a game to create a battlefield atmosphere, and the whole process is 5V5 and they pull each other out, the atmosphere will basically be gone. .

As MMORPG is a social game, this kind of server-wide activity, once players start it, only a few people will participate, which will be a blow to the player's activity.

Another point is that for MMORPG games owned by other game manufacturers, the game environment is basically stereotyped.

In "World of Warcraft", ordinary players can participate by fighting ordinary mobs and accumulating materials. High-end players can organize teams to kill world bosses and challenge heroic dungeons to advance mission progress.

Players at the middle level act as soldiers on the battlefield, killing various elite monsters to complete conditions.

But for other MMORPG games, this is simply impossible.

Exchanging krypton gold for the value of the game, sweeping the dungeons and challenging BOSS alone, is different from the perfect economic and business environment of "World of Warcraft". There are many other game studios, and all kinds of materials are worthless at all, let alone all players in the server.

The top few players can complete the task by just buying and buying.

Even after many game manufacturers launched activities similar to Ahn'Qiraj in "World of Warcraft", they originally thought they could boost the life of MMORPGs that had already sunk and earn a few years of money.

However, after working overtime immediately to launch corresponding server-wide activities, we found that a large number of lower-level players had disappeared.

Originally, these players who did not quit due to feelings and time costs originally planned to retire in this game, but after experiencing this event, they were forced to leave.

And they also have a better choice, which is "World of Warcraft".

The departure of these players has also made these MMORPG game manufacturers panic.

Although these lower-level players do not have much impact on their game revenue, these lower-level players are actually part of the game content that belongs to the top players.

……………………

Yang Chen basically didn't know anything about the situation of other game manufacturers.

Unless the other party is a friend, such as UEgame and Jiasheng.

For Yang Chen, there is basically no need to invest too much experience in "World of Warcraft".

The two versions of The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King are already under intensive development.

And based on the current progress of the players, Yang Chen estimates that it will take a long time until the Burning Crusade is online.

There is not much work left on the World of Warcraft project.

Yang Chen himself was thinking about another thing.

That's the unique point of the VR platform.

VR-mode games have appeared for many years before this, but in the past two years, with the breakthrough of hardware and cost control, they have become truly popular.

Major game manufacturers have also begun to invest sufficient resources in this type of games.

During the development process, Yang Chen was also thinking about what kind of games the VR platform could be suitable for, in addition to movie-based games and action-adventure games.

‘immersive’

Looking at the VR equipment in front of him, four words appeared in Chen Xu's mind.

There is no doubt that the biggest advantage of VR equipment compared to traditional PC platforms and other game platforms lies in the immersive experience.

If it is easy to operate, the PC platform that can use a keyboard, mouse, and external controller is the most convenient platform.

In terms of comfort, a switch that can be played while lying on the bed, sleeping on the sofa, or even while squatting on the toilet can be said to be the most comfortable.

The VR platform has one thing that no platform can replace, and that is the immersive experience.

Therefore, movie-based games, action-adventure games, FPS games and even horror games are all suitable for VR platforms.

At this time, Yang Chen thought of another type of game.

The door of the office was pushed open, and Lin Jiayi walked into the office with a bucket of fried chicken and fat house water in his hand.

Seeing Yang Chen meditating on the VR device, Lin Jiayi showed a strange expression: "Mr. Yang, what are you thinking about?"

After hearing Lin Jiayi's words and coming back from his thoughts, Yang Chen touched his chin and said, "What do you think of the future of fighting games?"

Fighting game, this is a unique type of game that Yang Chen thought of.

In fact, if you really want to say it, a pure action game would be more effective.

But when Yang Chen thought about it again, he discovered one thing, that is, Nebula Games seems to have never made a fighting game.

Not only Nebula Games, it can be said that major domestic and foreign game manufacturers have forgotten this once-popular game type to a certain corner of history.
