After Yang Chen's official blog post was posted, the player community exploded in an instant.

There is no doubt that this is the news of Nebula's new game.

Aiden Pierce, that's the name of the protagonist; and "Watch Dogs" is the name of the game.

It's just that after the short-term excitement, there are more questions.

Hackers hack into city facilities for their own use; lone fighters attack gangsters to sanction criminals and disrupt order.

A protagonist who is both good and evil?

But what type of game is this exactly?

Isn't it a meta element?

Many players looked at the little content revealed on Yang Chen's official blog, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Fuck, Nebula Games' new game is here!"

"Urban background, is it the sequel to "GTA"?"

"No, first read the official blog news before commenting, Mr. Yang said that the new work is called "Watch Dogs""

"By the way, this name is very strange? Why is it called "Watchdog" instead of Watchdog?"

"That's a good question. Why is it called a watchdog? Please search the search engine yourself and you will know."

"Don't talk about a group of bastards. Do you think the protagonist of the new work, Aiden Pierce, is a bit cool!"

"+1, indeed a little handsome! Aside from games like "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and "Dark Soul" where you can create your own characters, Aiden Pierce can be regarded as the more handsome level in the Nebula game series! "

"My brother A, Uncle E is not convinced!"

"Trench coat, hat, mask, if you replace your phone with a Hidden Blade, this is the modern version of an assassin!"

"23333, don't say it really looks alike."

"The Templars control human information through the Internet, but where there is oppression, there is resistance. Under the peaceful city, there is a group of people who fight to ensure the survival of free will. They are assassins... No, it should be hacker!"

…………

Along with Yang Chen's official blog news,

The players immediately started discussing the game content of "Watch Dogs" enthusiastically.

Originally, under the influence of "Under the Legend", games with meta elements can be said to have earned enough popularity.

Including the major game media, they all gave "Under the Legend" a high evaluation.

And the more critical point is that this type of game is still blank, and there are basically no large-scale production games.

Even the major game manufacturers have already tacitly agreed in their hearts that Nebula Games, which has not made any moves, must be ready to go and prepare for the production of meta games.

But now that "Watch Dogs" came out, many people were a little confused.

In the game circle, "Under the Legend" and the heat that drove the meta elements still maintain a fiery posture, and the subsequent impact is not small.

The main reason is that "Under the Legend" did not have a game with meta elements before, and the quality of "Under the Legend" itself is also very good, and like movies, it is divided into commercial and literary movies. The target is the latter.

In particular, the game's system settings for polluting save files at the end brought enough discussion topics, which resulted in rare scores below 9 points in media scores.

Under such circumstances, major manufacturers are naturally aiming at the new game type of meta.

Of course, manufacturers who set their sights on meta games are basically polarized.

First-tier and second-tier manufacturers, or independent game studios, and small manufacturers, as for most ordinary game manufacturers, all belong to the existence of watching movies.

Although the concept of meta games is very popular, there is a lack of examples of large-scale games. For large game manufacturers to try to explore this new field, even if they fail, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but ordinary game manufacturers are different. up.

The independent game studio is targeting games of the type "Under the Legend".

Naturally, they can't play large games, and how to present the gameplay of meta games is another problem.

But for low-cost independent games, it is too clear to have the example of "Under the Legend" in the front.

Nebula Games is not planning to make meta games?

Those who have been paying attention to Xingyun's game are obviously not players.

The people who know you best are not your friends, but your enemies.

This point can be said that NetDragon's three major players have made a very good interpretation.

In NetDragon's office, Ma Lei was having a meeting with Tenghua and Phoenix.

Meta games were actually not in their development plan at the beginning.

It's just that "Under the Legend" that Nebula Games sneakily launched later stunned them.

If it's the work of an independent game maker, they'll be surprised, but they won't take it that seriously.

But the moment the person who launched this game became Xingyun Game and Yang Chen changed the meaning completely.

A new type of meta game, just a small indie game.

Will this be the type of Nebula Games' next game?

It is still unclear, but this does not prevent them from taking the first step to seize the market.

In fact, games are similar to Internet companies, both of which want to seize the market.

And meta games also seem to be very suitable for VR platforms.

Therefore, after a simple market survey with questionnaires, NetDragon's three major companies began to develop meta games.

If it was in the past, the launch of a brand new type of game would not be so rushed.

But the point is that there is a Nebula game these days.

If it's an ordinary game manufacturer, even if you launch the game first, it doesn't matter. With strong capital, you will be killed.

But Nebula Games is different. In terms of capital, Nebula Games is not losing to them either.

"Isn't Nebula Games making a meta game? Could it be an open world game like "GTA"?" In the online meeting, Chen Qiao from Phoenix Games couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"Xingyun games are always unpredictable!" Ding Teng echoed with emotion.

"Actually, I think there must be something strange about this matter. Nebula Games is likely to make a fuss about the element of meta. In VR mode, hacker-themed games, combined with meta elements, break the fourth wall. The hacker played by the player can hack into the game. Internet, so as to learn secrets that ordinary people cannot understand, Nebula Games is likely to focus on artificial intelligence, so as to allow game AI to interact with players." Compared with Chen Qiao and Ding Teng, Ma Lei obviously Think more.

As for Xingyun Games not making meta games?

Ma Lei felt that the possibility was very small, otherwise why would Yang Chen launch a "Under the Legend"?

Bored with nothing to do?

There must be a reason!
