Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Since it's possible, Zou Tao, you are responsible for making this software."

"yes."

Zou Tao nodded. But after a while he shook his head again: "Mr. Chen, although this software does not have much technology, it has relatively high requirements for servers, and it requires servers to be built in various places across the country, which requires a lot of investment."

"Then it will be charged when it is developed."

"TOLL?"

"Can't you?"

"Mr. Chen, all our games are free. Is this software that can only increase the speed of the game network chargeable?"

"Because our online games are free, we have to charge for software that improves game network speed. We don't want to charge too much, just 10 yuan a month."

Although this is indeed a bit difficult to understand, Xunyou’s paid games in previous lives still sold well.

…

"Mike, Microsoft has contacted us?"

"Microsoft?"

"Yes, they want to work with us."

"Is it about their xbox?"

"No, it's the gaming business in China."

The three founders of Blizzard sat together and had a brief meeting.

Allen told what Microsoft meant, but Mike and Frank understood it instantly.

"Chinese market."

"Haha, it seems Microsoft is in trouble in China."

However, although the three of them have some thoughts of watching the excitement, when it comes to the Chinese market, the three of them are also serious.

Microsoft has not benefited from the Chinese market, and Blizzard has also not benefited from the Chinese market.

Not only did they not get any benefits, but Blizzard was stolen from them by Huanyu Technology.

Just like Dota, Dota is obviously just a map of Warcraft owned by Blizzard, but it was turned into a game by them.

Moreover, they also relied on dota to enter the global market.

That's not all.

In the area of ​​online games, Blizzard's World of Warcraft is also outperformed by Huanyu Technology's Jiuzhou in China.

Although Blizzard is still the world's number one in terms of reputation, when it comes to profitability, Blizzard can only be ranked below Huanyu Technology.

They have thought about having another fight with Huanyu Technology countless times.

However, Blizzard has always pursued the concept of excellence, and they did not attack rashly.

Until Microsoft found them this time, the three of them took a look and felt that the time was ripe.

"Alan, it looks like our Heroes of the Storm are ready to be launched."

"Yes, we have been looking forward to this day."

"The first release area will be China. What do you think?"

"I'm OK."

"Then it's decided."

The three nodded, and Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm officially launched their attack.

[Blizzard’s latest effort: Heroes of the Storm. 】

[Sword finger pointing, Heroes of the Storm are coming. 】

[dota+luahlu=Heroes of the Storm? 】

[For the first time in the Chinese market, Blizzard PKs Huanyu Technology? 】

As the No. 1 player in the global gaming industry, Blizzard has always been a sacred temple in the hearts of countless players around the world.

Their Warcraft series, their StarCraft series, and their Diablo series can be said to have influenced generations of people.

Even the current Dota, as well as Lualu, which is very popular in China, all have the shadow of Blizzard.

When Dota was circulating before, including the rise of Lualu, many fans were puzzled as to why Blizzard didn't develop a multiplayer competitive game like this. Until now, Blizzard has finally revealed the news to the outside world. It's not that they don't develop it, but that they develop a game at will. Every game they develop will inevitably bring great changes to the entire game.

It's like Diablo influenced online games.

Nowadays, the source of multiplayer competitive games also comes from Warcraft.

"Oh my god, Blizzard finally took action and supported Blizzard."

"Girl, didn't you say you are a fan of Huanyu Technology?"

"I am a fan of Huanyu Technology, but I am also a fan of Blizzard."

"Then you won't support Huanyu Technology?"

"You can't say that. Huanyu Technology also needs to support it, but Blizzard also needs to support it. And Lualu and Dota actually also borrowed from Blizzard. Now that Blizzard has launched Heroes of the Storm, I believe this is definitely a game that is not inferior to Dota. Not inferior to the game of Lu, Lu, Lu."

Not to mention overseas, in fact, Blizzard also has too many fans in China.

This is also normal.

Especially for the first batch of people to play this type of multiplayer competitive game, the first thing they came into contact with was Blizzard's game.

In addition, Dota and Lualu evolved from a map in Warcraft. Now this is the most orthodox, the strongest in production, and the most anticipated new game released by the game company in the world. If you are not looking forward to it, then It's impossible.

On the other hand, some professionals also began to reveal a series of news about Heroes of the Storm on major forums.

“Everyone, Huanyu Technology’s Lua Lua and Dota may be extremely dangerous?”

"No way, buddy, the game hasn't been distributed yet, so this is dangerous. You think Blizzard is too mythical. Besides, Huanyu Technology is not that easy to mess with."

"Although Huanyu Technology is strong, there is still some gap with Blizzard. Moreover, Huanyu Technology performs very well in micro-innovation, but when it comes to change and complete innovation, Huanyu Technology's strength is relatively weak. . Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the performance of the game Heroes of the Storm in the closed beta test in the United States is amazing."

"Closed beta?"

"Yes, Blizzard will never make a game casually, and it will not make a game just to make money. Their Heroes of the Storm actually had this idea before Dota, but they didn't launch it at that time. Previously in For the closed beta test in the United States, Blizzard invited more than 100 well-known professional players in Dota, and they almost unanimously gave Heroes of the Storm 10 points of praise. Several well-known Dota professional players have even said that once Heroes of the Storm begins beta testing, they will It will be transferred to the banner of the storm."

"This is the evaluation information of some professional players. You can refer to it. Although I also like Huanyu Technology, this time, Huanyu Technology may not be able to deal with Blizzard."

Facing the fierce blizzard, Zou Tao received the news immediately.

"Mr. Chen, is there something going on with Blizzard?"

"What's the matter? Seeing that you are anxious, our speed game has been developed?"

"Uh, Mr. Chen, how could it be so fast?"

Zou Tao shook his head: "Blizzard has launched their latest game, Heroes of the Storm."

"oh?"

"This should be aimed at our Lu, Lu, Lu, and Dota."

"Why are you so worried? It hasn't been launched yet?"

Chen Yu sat in front of the office chair and looked at Zou Tao, who was a little anxious: "Zou Tao, are Heroes of the Storm very good?"

Although Heroes of the Storm has not yet been launched, Blizzard has released some information about Heroes of the Storm.

Chen Yu said while watching.

Chen Yu had played Heroes of the Storm in his previous life. Facts have proved that this game is not bad, but it is very unpopular with the market.

In this life again, Chen Yu is still not optimistic about Heroes of the Storm.

"Mr. Chen, it is said that Blizzard has invited more than 100 well-known professional players to participate in the closed beta test of their Heroes of the Storm. Their evaluation is very good, surpassing our Dota, and also surpassing our Lua Lu."

"Our games are not for professional players."

Chen Yu shook his head.

Although professional players are important, Chen Yu believes that the most important thing is ordinary players.

"These reviews from professional players can only be used as a reference."

"That's true, but Blizzard is well prepared this time, and the launch is in China. It seems very confident. According to sources, Microsoft has approached Blizzard."

"This is normal. Microsoft has no choice but to turn to Blizzard to take advantage of our games. However, I'm thinking, if Blizzard can't deal with us, what else can Microsoft do?"

Chen Yu was not in a hurry.

The operating system war is a constant one.

Every day Huanyu Technology delays is beneficial to them.

However, now that Blizzard is coming, Chen Yu might as well compete with Blizzard.

"Let's play through the game."

"Deduction?"

"right."

"But the game hasn't been released yet, and a lot of information isn't available."

"It's okay. Let's deduce it based on the information currently available and some comments from some professional players."

Chen Yu asked Zou Tao to sit aside, and then printed out a series of information from the computer.

"Zou Tao, the name of this game is Heroes of the Storm, and the type should be similar to our game."

"Yes."

"However, judging from their current professions, although they are different from our warriors, shooters, etc., they are basically the same. Moreover, these heroes are basically heroes from Warcraft, StarCraft... and other games put together. .Of course, this is normal.”

Chen Yu continued to analyze the existing information.

"However, there is a very special setting here. It cancels troop replenishment and even cancels denying."

"Mr. Chen, it seems that the official website does not say that the recruitment of troops has been cancelled."

"Although it is not written, if you look at the reviews of these professional players, none of them introduced troop replenishment. We know that whether it is our Dota or Lua Lu Lu, troop replenishment is an important setting. Moreover, Dota also has Denial.”

"Wouldn't this make it easier for ordinary players to get started?"

"Theoretically yes."

Chen Yu nodded.

Lu, Lu, Lu needs to replenish troops. Dota not only needs to replenish troops, but also needs to deny.

Although whether it is replenishing troops or denying them, it is just a skill and can be done with a little practice.

But in fact, many ordinary players are not very skilled in replenishing troops, let alone denying them.

Therefore, in order to allow ordinary players to get started better, Chen Yu canceled the supplementary troops in the matching matches and only promoted it in the ranked matches.

The King of Pesticides in the previous life also canceled troop replenishment in order to allow more players to participate.

"So, since replenishing troops has been cancelled, he focuses more on laning and team battles. However, from the information revealed in Heroes of the Storm, we can see that they do not have the concept of equipment. In other words, heroes do not need equipment."

"That's strange to me too."

Zou Tao was also a little surprised.

Equipment has always been the core of the game, and there are very few games that do not require equipment.

"Maybe they didn't expose their equipment system."

Zou Tao thought for a while and said.

"No, they just don't have the equipment."

Chen Yu said with certainty.

"But how are they going to fight if they don't have the equipment?"

"It's very simple, through the talent system."

Chen Yu pointed to a piece of evaluation data and said: "The evaluation data of this professional player revealed that when the experience reaches a certain level, that is, when the level has been upgraded, the system will calculate the respective data according to the different talents. The extra points are actually equivalent to equipment. However, he expresses them in the form of talent."

"Will this lead to more interesting playability?"

Zou Tao was still extremely wary of blizzards.

As for being so defensive, it comes from Blizzard's strength.

At this time, the talent system deduced by Chen Yu made Zou Tao a little worried.

There is a secret passage in my heart.

Blizzard is indeed Blizzard, and it is really not comparable to ordinary companies in terms of game innovation.

Seeing Zou Tao's thoughts, Chen Yu said: "I don't think it has much playability, although it does seem innovative. However, the most acceptable thing for players is level + equipment. No equipment. , it actually hinders the entry of users to a certain extent. Just like a game company recently launched a game with no profession, no level, and no equipment. Although it looks fresh, its popularity is pitifully low."

Occupation, level, equipment... although it looks crude.

But I have to say that these three settings are extremely classic.

Even decades later, these three settings still dominate the entire gaming world.

"That's not the key point. It's nothing without equipment. However, Heroes of the Storm has canceled troop replenishment and equipment. So how is his experience distributed?"

"Currently, Blizzard has not mentioned it."

"Who said it wasn't mentioned? Take a look at these game screenshots."

Chen Yu pulled out several screenshots of the game: "Look at the levels of the two teams. One team is level 15, and the other team is level 16."

"Mr. Chen, is there any problem here?"

"no problem?"

Chen Yu said again: "Look carefully, everyone in the team is level 15, and everyone in the team is level 16."

"Let's look at another one. This team's level is level 21, and the other team's level is level 23."

Comparing the screenshots with the same game, Zou Tao saw the difference.

"Mr. Chen, you are saying that the level of each team member is the same."

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded.

If it is different, then anyone who has played Lu and Lu will know.

If some heroes develop well, their level will be higher, and if some heroes develop slowly, their level will be lower.

Rarely do all members of a team have the same level.

Unless you fight to the end, everyone has reached the highest level and cannot rise any further.

But obviously, judging from these game screenshots, it’s not.

So.

As you can see from these game screenshots, the levels of Heroes of the Storm are different from those of Lualu.

"Level is also not the point. The point is the experience distribution method in the game. Let's deduce it again. The game experience distribution method in Lualu is obtained from minions, towers, wild monsters... etc. The game of Heroes of the Storm The experience should be about the same, but not necessarily. Maybe they have other ways to obtain experience, such as obtaining tasks, obtaining plots, and obtaining maps. But there is still a problem. All heroes in Heroes of the Storm have the same level, so there is no such thing. The single hero is underdeveloped. I judge that all the experience here is divided equally among the five members of the team."

"Most likely it will be an equal split."

Zou Tao was stunned.

He didn't expect that Mr. Chen could analyze so much information from just a few game screenshots.

Troop replenishment, levels, talents, and even experience distribution methods.

"Then let's continue."

"Since their experience is equally divided, it is different from our Lua Lu setting. Through personal development, level, equipment, and money acquisition, our Lua Lu will have a snowballing effect. But Storm Heroes should not support such a setting. There cannot be a super awesome hero among them. Unless the player himself is very good at operation."

"Then what will such a setting bring?"

Chen Yu continued: "We know that the overall strength of our Lualu comes from the average of the five people. Or it cannot be said that sometimes there is a hero who is a super god, and he can save the whole team. But the storm The heroes look different, because they have no equipment, and there is no snowball effect, so they prefer operation and team cooperation. Since it is a group, let’s take the team battles we play as an example. Team battles are often Whether you can win often depends on whether a hero makes mistakes, that is, whether he cheats everyone. This is similar to the principle of a wooden barrel. The height of a wooden barrel filled with water does not depend on the longest board, but on the shortest board. That board.”

After all, it is a game that has not yet been released. For fear of confusing Zou Tao, Chen Yu is ready to say something simple: "To put it simply, we can do one god and four pits with one god. But in Heroes of the Storm, that is Destroy the four gods in one pit.”

Don't think this is just a simple sentence.

But just a few simple words like this will shape the future market situation of Heroes of the Storm.

No matter how many pitfalls there are, as long as there is a super god, the game can still be played.

But Heroes of the Storm is different.

Even if four of the five heroes in Heroes of the Storm are super gods, if they encounter a god trap, even the super gods will die.

So...at this time, will you continue to play?

What really makes the game have an incomparable experience is the five gods versus five gods.

But anyone who has played games knows that with so many gods, they often face pitfalls.

Even, sometimes I am a trap.

Playing and playing, you can still continue playing if you encounter a pit.

But Heroes of the Storm has hit a snag. Sorry, there is no gameplay experience in this game.

"Mr. Chen, you are not a traitor from Blizzard, are you?"

The game hadn't come out yet, but after going through the deduction, Zou Tao was stunned.

This deduction is really terrifying.

If other people have such strength, then other companies will be beaten.

"Haha, I also thought I was Blizzard's traitor, but they don't want me."

Chen Yu naturally knew that Zou Tao was joking and said with a smile.
