On November 3, when everyone thought that the channel war provoked by Chen Mo had come to an end and Chen Mo had won a complete victory, a piece of news caused waves again.
Emperor Interactive Entertainment and Shenhuan Game Platform announced that they will reach a strategic cooperation and share channel resources. All games published on any one of the two platforms will be automatically launched on the other platform, and can also get recommended positions.
In addition, more than a dozen other small channels have also joined the alliance of Emperor Interactive Entertainment and Shenhuan Game Platform.
In other words, Emperor Huyu and Shenhuan Game Platform took the lead to integrate the resources of all small channels and established a very large intermodal platform.
All games released on any of the above game platforms will be launched on other game platforms simultaneously, and may get a very powerful recommendation position: omni-channel recommendation.
If a game is lucky enough to get this recommendation, it means that it will get the recommended position on the homepage of all the above game platforms at the same time, such a recommendation effect can be called terrifying.
Originally, the Thunder Game Platform was the third largest game platform in China, and the number of users in its hands would not be completely crushed compared to the Emperor Game Platform and Shenhuan Game Platform alone. After the large combined transport platform, the comparison of resources between the two sides opened up at once.
Although Emperor Huyu and Shenhuan Game Platform did not mention any words about "Thunder Game Platform", it is obvious that this action is a counterattack. Facing a powerful spoiler, these veteran channel operators also Had to unite to safeguard their own interests.
The situation became confusing again.
…
Emperor Interactive Entertainment Headquarters.
In Lin Zhaoxu's office, all three S-level designers were very rarely present.
Qiu Jiang and Yan Zhenyuan were sitting on the couch, while Qin Xiao was sitting on the single sofa on one side, with his feet carelessly raised on the coffee table in front of him.
Lin Zhaoxu said: "You all know about omni-channel intermodal transportation, right?"
Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Understood."
Qiu Jiang was playing with his nails boredly: "There is such a commotion, how could you not know?"
Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Well, this time I called you here for this matter. Let me just say that from now on, the omni-channel joint transportation is going smoothly. A lot of interests have contributed to this cooperation, but on the whole, it is a good thing for both us and the Shenhuan game platform."
"The most critical question now is that we need a key game to show players and those independent designers the power of this new platform."
Qin Xiao became interested: "New game?"
Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Yes, Ding Xing is also talking with Liu Yuanfeng in private, hoping that Zen Interactive Entertainment can also produce a competitive high-quality game. Of course we are the same here at Dichao."
"This time, we will release 3 to 5 new games, and then compete internally. The best two will get the strongest recommendations from all channels. That is to say, at that time, all game platforms will watch it except the Thunder game platform." to these two new games."
Qin Xiao, Qiu Jiang and Yan Zhenyuan all listened carefully. Obviously, this is also a very good opportunity for them.
Lin Zhaoxu continued: "The game we are going to make this time must be a super hit, that is to say, we must capture the most player groups to the greatest extent."
Qin Xiao thought for a moment: "What about the platform?"
Lin Zhaoxu said: "The platform is not limited, but in terms of the type of game, it must not be a simple game like chess and cards. Even if the number of players of that kind of game is pushed to a high level, it is meaningless."
Qiu Jiang thought for a while: "That should be mmorpg, it's my strong point."
Qin Xiao said: "That's not necessarily true, there are quite a few players of fps games in China."
Qiu Jiang glanced at him: "But fps games generally don't do vr and pc dual-end, mmorpg can do double-end."
Qin Xiao: "..."
Lin Zhaoxu said: "The three platforms have their own advantages. The mobile platform has the most players and is the easiest to promote. The VR platform is easier to produce high-quality works. The PC platform is relatively compromised."
Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Yes, but at present, it seems that if you want to capture the most user groups, mmorpg is still the world, especially if you can do VR and PC dual-end, the advantage is too great."
Qin Xiao shook his head: "I don't think so. The three relatively successful RPGs in China, "Legend of the Sword", "The Oracle of the Moon God" and "Three Kingdoms" have been tossing for so long, and no one has killed anyone. Will a new mmorpg completely kill these three games and unify the mmorpg market? I think the possibility of this is extremely slim.”
Lin Chaoxu asked Qiu Jiang: "What do you think? Is there room for mmorpg to develop?"
Qiu Jiang pondered for a moment and said: "It's hard to say. Judging from the current operation of "Luna God's Mantra", mmorpg still has a lot to do. However, if you want to make a game that can take the entire mmorpg game market, it will At least two conditions must be met."
"First, there is an overall improvement in terms of technical level and art performance. Second, there are major innovations in the gameplay and world view structure."
"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to improve the technical level and artistic performance in an all-round way, so the only opportunity lies in the gameplay and world view."
Qin Xiao interjected, "That means it's useless, because mmorpg basically won't have any major gameplay innovations in the short term. As for the world view, I haven't seen any particularly powerful ones so far."
Qiu Jiang rolled his eyes at him.
Lin Zhaoxu said: "It's okay, don't worry. No one can say for sure what the next game will dominate the domestic game market. You can also think about it, and don't necessarily limit your thinking to mmorpg. For example, two days ago I found a good prototype of the game abroad."
As Lin Zhaoxu said, he called up a video from his laptop.
"What is this, isn't this "Warcraft"?"
Qin Xiao, Qiu Jiang and Yan Zhenyuan were all a little surprised.
Lin Zhaoxu shook his head: "No, this is an rpg map in "Warcraft". It's called cog, Clash of the Gods."
The three of them carefully watched the entire process of the entire video.
Lin Zhaoxu said: "According to internal information, the author of this picture has decided to cooperate with GA to make cog an independent game separate from the existence of "Warcraft."
Qin Xiao frowned slightly: "Ga? Would they fall in love with such a simple picture? Besides, is it a picture born out of "Warcraft?"
No wonder Qin Xiao was puzzled.
Ga is a very famous game developer, its full name is geniusart, it can be ranked among the top three in the entire European and American regions, and it can be said that it is a veritable industry giant.
Judging from the video, cog is an rpg map completely attached to "Warcraft", so the perspective is also a third-person God's perspective.
Moreover, the content of the game is not rich, back and forth are fighting on a map, the only commendable is that its heroes and equipment system is relatively complicated.
Can such a simple map be favored by ga? This sounds very fanciful.
