Game Entertainment Empire

Online players didn't discuss many things, but the game industry was still discussing "Star Wars" and "PUBG Mobile".

The main point of discussion is the battle royale mode of "PUBG Mobile".

It seems to be a new innovation, but it is actually an element that almost all FPS have, and "PUBG Mobile" seems to just integrate it.

For example, shrinking circles and eating chicken, in fact, this is an alternative personal competition mode; searching for supplies, this is similar to a survival FPS game; equipment accessories, etc., needless to say, all major FPS games There is such a setting, but it is not like in "PUBG Mobile", which distributes accessories on various maps, allowing players to search as if they were playing a survival game.

The rest, such as vehicles and airdrops, are actually mechanisms that can be found in existing FPS games.

If there is any innovation in the battle royale mode of "PUBG Mobile", it seems to be a fusion of it.

But the question is whether this model is a temporary novelty, or can it become a superior model.

Needless to say, the new mode after the rework of "Star Wars" looks quite novel, but in fact it is just a pure change of skin, and then some micro-innovations and optimizations have been carried out on the basis of itself.

Let the gameplay and rhythm of the game be more inclined to its own sci-fi game theme.

But the core in the bones is still the old FPS.

It can be said that quite a few players still like this category, otherwise this set of modes would not exist for such a long time.

But it is also not without flaws, that is, how successful he can be depends not on his own quality, but on how strong his competitors are.

Even if the current popularity of "Star Wars" is considered to be very top-level, it also depends on whether the popularity of "PUBG Mobile" is short-lived.

Compared to other game industries who have been paying attention to the data of "PUBG Mobile", Yang Chen's focus is not on the data of "PUBG Mobile".

What he pays more attention to is the follow-up update of "PUBG Mobile" and operations.

The "PUBG Mobile" in the dream memory has declined from a dominant game with more than 3 million online users at its peak to 500,000 to 600,000, which can be said to be caused by various reasons.

Players don't like this mode anymore?

Obviously this is not the case. If players really don’t like the battle royale mode, then the follow-up “Fortnite”, “APEX Heroes” and the mobile game Eat Chicken are obviously impossible to become a phenomenal performance.

The diversion of similar games, this is one reason but not the main reason.

The most important thing is its own operational problems.

The first is the slow update of the version, which makes players lack enough freshness.

Similar to games like "League of Legends", each round of skydiving is a brand new experience.

But the key lies in one point, the choice of multiple heroes in "League of Legends", the selection of multiple positions, and different routines, such as AP, meat, AD, or as a tool man's auxiliary gameplay, the same hero will be played after a while. Over time, different routines may be unearthed.

However, as an FPS game, "Jedi Survival" is obviously not as good as "League of Legends" in terms of tapping potential.

For example, a slightly ordinary talent change in "League of Legends" may make the little murloc, an assassin hero who has been regarded as a single AP in the mid lane, go to the top road where warriors and tanks gather to produce a half-meat outfit, becoming a man who can resist A fighter who can fight again.

But "PUBG Mobile" is an FPS game, even if it is to adjust the damage of firearms, it is actually very limited.

Because this involves a problem with the ballistic feel of a gun. For example, why is the M4A1 gun still the most popular gun even though it has been weakened countless times? It is because the players are already familiar with the feel of this firearm.

For example, the main reason for the rapid decline of "PUBG Mobile" is the most important and direct problem in Yang Chen's eyes. The first point is that the slow update of the version brings players enough content. What was the most updated in the hottest year?

Optimizing the game, not updating the content.

Including the so-called climbing in the game, the second desert map, and when new guns are added, the game is actually on the decline.

In addition to that, there is the control over cheats. As a battle royale game, even if only one player cheats in a game, it will affect the game experience of dozens of players.

And the most updated optimization by the game team, does it matter?

Of course it is important, but the key is that this is a must-have condition for a game!

Also in Yang Chen's dream memory, there is another game that can actually become a hit, but its upper limit is limited due to optimization problems, Ark Survival Evolved.

Like the decline of "PUBG Mobile" in the later period, this game also has the same fate.

It's just that compared with "PUBG Mobile", its luck is a little bit worse, because compared with the mainstream game type of FPS, its audience is still smaller, and its game mechanism It should also be slightly complicated. With the optimization of its own weak explosion, players who have started may have been persuaded to leave before they have experienced the fun of it.

There will be more new content in the future, which is a very important element to maintain the freshness of players.

…………

Compared with Yang Chen, who has already considered the operation of the follow-up version of "PUBG Mobile", ordinary players obviously don't think so much.

Enjoying today's games is the most important thing.

On the other hand, in the Apex game, Ethan, who was looking at the latest statistics of "Star Wars", felt a little bad.

It's not that "Star Wars" collapsed. Although the average player time has dropped a bit, this is normal.

After all, "PUBG Mobile" has only just been launched for a short time, and it is normal for competing products of the same type to lose popularity.

But the problem is that he found that the popularity of "PUBG Mobile" seems to have surpassed their "Star Wars" online and among the player groups.

Judging from the most direct live broadcast platforms and video platforms, it was originally a 50-50 situation between "Star Wars" and "PUBG Mobile", but now "PUBG Mobile" seems to have completed a turnaround.

But it shouldn't be!

Wasn't their "Star Wars" launched first?

And the quality of the game is not bad!

Even if Nebula game "PUBG Mobile" is launched for the first time, the popularity shouldn't be like this!

Looking at the data report, Ethan frowned.

Could it be that Nebula Games has activated the banknote ability?

right! Very possible!

The same type of FPS game, "PUBG Mobile" will be launched later, whether it is the player base or publicity, it should have lagged behind "Star Wars", and the data of "Star Wars" itself is not a big problem.

Then how could "PUBG Mobile" complete the overtake so quickly in terms of popularity?

This must be Nebula Games secretly paying money to buy popularity and hype it!

Ethan patted his thigh, and at this moment he understood everything.

I am a bit upright! He thought he had the upper hand, but he didn't continue to work hard on the popular promotion, so he should have smashed Nebula Games to death!
