What do you think
How else to watch
When he thought about asking this question, Mr. Liu already had the answer in his mind.
Especially when he saw the person standing next to him, Huang Chao had almost guessed Mr. Liu's intention of calling him here, so he took the initiative to follow his words very sensibly.
"Actually, in terms of single-round image quality and gameplay, from my point of view, our "Oracle" is not inferior to the new game of Yunmeng Games. However, any game has its lifespan, and our disadvantage lies in Here. Oracle has been in operation for five years since it was launched today, and it is difficult for players to find anything new in us. Even if we launch some activities with special gameplay, in the eyes of players, they are just the same thing. thing."
"The reason why World of Warcraft is so popular is largely because the sandbox-style gameplay proposed by Yunmeng Games is novel enough. No other MMORPG has tried this design idea, so it caught the attention of players as soon as it was launched. , which naturally attracted heated discussion and attention from the entire network.”
Liu Zhiping said.
"So do you have any good suggestions?"
Huang Chao nodded and continued.
"Of course! In my opinion, the popularity of World of Warcraft is a challenge for us, but it is also an opportunity. Although its birth has had a big impact on many of our online games, from another From a perspective, their success has proven that sandbox gameplay is feasible in the field of MMORPG."
"I believe you know better than me that our advantage is not in the game itself, but in the huge traffic controlled by the instant messaging software owned by Hiace Group."
"Relying on this traffic, we don't even need to do much better than World of Warcraft. We only need to imitate their gameplay to create a similar MMORPG game. Not only can we resolve the impact of World of Warcraft on our business, but we can also continue to dominate the Internet. The next decade of gaming!”
When Huang Chao was speaking, Zhao Qiguang, who was standing aside, had no chance to interrupt, because Mr. Huang had already finished what he wanted to say and had nothing to add, so he had to applaud to express his agreement.
"Mr. Huang said it well! I think so too."
Huang Chao smiled and nodded.
"Accepted."
"It's indeed well said," Liu Zhiping, who was sitting behind his desk after hearing the whole thing, nodded with approval, clapped his hands and continued, "I basically said everything I wanted to say."
After a pause, Liu Zhiping looked at the two people standing in front of the desk and continued in a serious tone.
"As Manager Huang said, as of today, our Oracle has been in operation for five years. During these five years, this game has indeed contributed huge benefits to our group, but the times are changing. If we don’t make changes, we will be eliminated by the market one day.”
"Actually, I have another purpose for coming to you today."
As he spoke, Liu Zhiping took out a document from the drawer and slapped it on the desk.
When he saw the title of this document, Huang Chao secretly thought that this was indeed the case.
And what Mr. Liu said next was exactly what he expected—
"Recently we have introduced a new project from overseas partners called "Endless Epic". The gameplay is similar to World of Warcraft. It is also an RPG online game focusing on the open world."
"This new project is very important to our group. In order to cope with the impact of World of Warcraft on our group's game business, we must create a sandbox MMORPG online game that can compete with World of Warcraft in the shortest possible time."
"You are the elites of the group, and I plan to hand over this task to you. The promise I can make at the moment is that the group will give you maximum support. Whether it is in terms of funds or promotion resources."
"From now on, there is only one thing you need to consider, and that is to hold on to our market share no matter what! You must not let Yunmeng Games take away the users who originally belonged to us!"
…
Compared with Yunmeng Games, Hiace Group has an absolute advantage in traffic.
And this advantage is different from that of the Rice Group.
DaMi Group has no way to direct users who buy its own electronic products to its own APP. It can only pre-install a lot of software on users' mobile phones that users will never use in their lifetime.
However, as a giant in the domestic instant messaging field, Hiace Group can easily guide users to where they expect.
As Huang Chao said, they don't even need to be much better than Yunmeng Games. Even if they just make a product that is not too far behind, they can rely on the huge user traffic to step on World of Warcraft. soles of feet.
It is precisely for this reason that when it was reported in the industry that Sea Lion Group planned to introduce "Endless Epic", almost no one was optimistic that Yunmeng Games could maintain the fruits of victory that World of Warcraft had accumulated.
"It's a pity that we happened to encounter a sea lion."
"I have expected this day for a long time. After all, "Oracle" is the majority of Sea Lion Group's game business revenue. How could they watch Yunmeng Games poach a big piece of meat from under their noses."
"There is no hope. I can only express my condolences. In the current environment of the Internet industry in Xia State, as long as something is targeted by sea lions, even if it is not obtained, there are ten thousand ways to destroy it for you."
"Hey, I feel sorry for Yunmeng Game for just a second..."
Previously, World of Warcraft was a huge hit across the Internet, giving many small and medium-sized game companies hope.
It is like a flag, proving to everyone that even a game company without any background or traffic support can still win the favor of players with the game itself as long as the game it designs is fun enough. Put it on the altar.
However, now, although this flag has not yet fallen, it is obviously not far away from falling.
The sea lion's black hand has already reached out.
So far, no one has been able to escape from this black hand...
However, compared to the pessimism of industry insiders, most of the Yunmeng Group's internal views on this rumor are optimistic.
the reason is simple.
For this game, Yunmeng Games is even preparing to build its own supercomputer.
If he wasn't 100% sure, how could Mr. Hao bet such a huge chip on a game that might go bankrupt due to external factors
obviously!
Mr. Hao must have absolute confidence. Even if the opponent is the Sea Lion Group, they will not be at a disadvantage! Maybe he still holds a trump card in his hand that no one knows about!
In fact, Hao Yun didn't have any trump cards.
But as most employees saw, he did not feel any panic at all about the rumors in the industry, as if the so-called threats did not exist at all...
"… This "Endless Epic" is an MMORPG game designed by the well-known Korean game studio 'Nugger'. The world view setting is probably a fantasy background. Players can choose from the five major races of humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and undead. At the same time, You can also freely combine and match eight main professions and twelve life secondary professions."
In the conference room, Hao Yun touched his chin thoughtfully after listening to Li Zongzheng's report.
"It seems... nothing special."
Most fantasy RPG online game settings are like this. "World of Warcraft" is like this, "Endless Epic" is like this, and even "Oracle", which was launched five years ago, is like this, and there are no tricks. .
The reason why World of Warcraft is popular all over the Internet is not really due to the diverse career settings and combinations, but the almost unlimited "content" automatically generated by artificial intelligence algorithms, allowing players to continuously explore this Ai Ze The secrets of the world of Lars and determine the fate of this world.
"Mr. Hao, I think... we'd better pay attention to the upcoming "Endless Epic"." Looking at Mr. Hao who didn't take this matter too seriously, Li Zongzheng hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, the other party It’s not a newcomer, after all, it is an established game manufacturer with more than ten years of game development experience.”
"I know, I don't mean to take it lightly, but they are using conspiracy, and you can't come up with any special method to prevent the launch of "Endless Epic"."
Standing up from his desk, Hao Yun walked to Li Zongzheng's side, put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a serious tone.
"There is only one thing we can do now, and that is to release the official version as soon as possible... before they do."
Perhaps hearing the solemnity in Mr. Hao's tone, the expression on Li Zongzheng's face gradually became serious.
Looking at Hao Yun seriously, he said.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"I won't let you down!"
