After the new mode of 'War Zone' was launched, its popularity has been rising.
Before this, many players had no expectations for this new mode.
But after actually getting started, I instantly felt the fun.
It even directly boosted the sales of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Why
Because the 'War Zone' mode is free.
And there are still many players who have never purchased "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
There are actually quite a few players in this category.
Commonly known as the Waiting Party.
Of course, for the Waiting Party, it is not all about lack of money.
For them, this is actually more like an attitude of playing games.
At the same time, maybe you are the kind of person who doesn’t have much time to play games, but you have already bought a lot of games and you can’t play them all, so you just play the games you bought little by little, and finally wait until there is a discount before buying the ones you are interested in.
Then the cycle went back and forth and became a so-called waiting party.
But that's different now, the 'Warzone' gameplay mode is free.
In addition, this period of time is very popular, and many so-called waiting parties also chose to download and try it out.
And the experience was instantly troublesome.
Those previous refreshing FPS games were obviously outclassed by "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
And it’s not that the graphics of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” are better on the new-generation Universal VR platform.
Including ordinary VR platforms, the graphics can be said to be equally excellent.
Although it is a multiplayer online mode, all players are born at one point at the beginning, and then there is still 60 seconds of preparation time. What is the purpose of this
Naturally, the function of the VR game warehouse is mobilized to load the external interface of the birth point map in real time.
Therefore, many players entered the game and immediately felt the impact of its unique graphics.
Coupled with various modern vehicle weapons, broadsword mines, RPGs, cluster bombs, precision air strikes, UAVs, etc., many players who have never played "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" before can't help but feel itchy. .
Now this 'war zone' is already so interesting, and there seems to be even more awesome big scene scenes in the story mode.
So how fun is this game
Just thinking about it, I can see the explosion of a nuclear bomb, the fall of the White House and the collapse of the Eiffel Tower. How shocking it is!
Many players who had played "Warzone" looked at the game in front of them and finally couldn't hold it back. They took out their wallets and bought "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
This also makes many players sigh with emotion.
The sinful little hands reaching for their wallets always come so unexpectedly!
… … … …
As for "Operation Storm", which was launched after "Modern Warfare", it is purely a huge tragedy.
Whether at home or abroad, the popularity of "Operation Storm" has been completely blown away by "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Atrai was also completely confused about this.
Why did the ticket bounce before
Isn't it because "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is too powerful
Why is it online now
Isn’t it just because of previous surveys that I feel this new model has little impact
Why is the heat so high
And the reason why you made this decision is that you feel that players don’t think highly of this new mode
What if you said you're not interested
After the game went online, you players were the ones who played the most enthusiastically and complained the most.
Can there still be any trust between players and game companies
Atrai is about to collapse.
In terms of sales, it’s not too ugly to say.
After all, it is online on the zeus platform, and its own quality is not that bad.
But this is completely inconsistent with expectations.
You must know that in "Operation Storm", atrai's investment is really not small.
As a well-known IP, buying IP costs a lot of money, and the second is the production cost. As a game on the new generation Zeus platform, it can be said that the development of "Operation Storm" is higher than the current top 3A masterpieces.
Secondly, in terms of publicity, in the early days, "Operation Storm" had been competing with "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", and the battle was all real money.
Behind the scenes, I want to avoid the limelight and the heat so that I can stop losses in time.
but now
It seems that there is no difference between now and before. Avoiding it for a month is like avoiding loneliness.
As for Howard Warsaw, even though the project failed, he still has to take the blame. After all, there is no problem with the IP of Operation Storm, and there must be no problem with Atrai itself. Of course, even if there is a problem, it is no problem. .
So who is ultimately responsible
That must be him as the designer!
But the only thing that gave Howard Warsaw some comfort was that this time "Operation Storm" was launched, there was someone in the marketing department who had to take the same blame as himself, and the other party's blame was even bigger.
After all, who asked you to investigate and come to the conclusion that the 'war zone' was nothing to worry about? This pot may not have been yours originally, but it is definitely yours now.
… … … …
As for Chen Xu, he no longer cares about the situation of "Operation Storm".
After all, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is already a huge hit.
Whether "Operation Storm" is dead or alive has nothing to do with him.
The launch of 'War Zone' is nothing more than an updated mode for players.
Incidentally, adding a profit point, after all, compared to the ordinary fast mode, the slightly slower and more entertaining battle royale mode is actually very easy to make money.
The previous acquisitions of many game studios have basically come to an end.
There is also some attention from the industry, but currently most of the attention has been attracted by the 'War Zone'.
After all, this brand-new model has amazed designers in the gaming industry, especially in the FPS field.
Many people have studied and analyzed whether this new model can be applied to traditional FPS games.
The popularity of the 'War Zone' mode needs to be analyzed whether it is the victory of this gameplay or the victory of the modern warfare with large map gameplay such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Of course, these are more rational game designers, and there are also some game manufacturers who don’t care so much.
'War zone' huh
Don't worry about anything. In the big scene, the team or the single player is eliminated until the last one. Just do it first to get a wave of popularity.
Chen Xu didn't bother to pay attention to these game manufacturers.
If you blindly make a battle royale type without clear positioning, you will end up in a dead end.
Four years after the birth of battle royale in the previous life, EA's Battlefield, Ubisoft's new IP Hyper Scape, and even V Club's Counter-Strike have all tried to launch battle royale, but in the end they all failed.
Chen Xu didn't take it to heart at all.
Now his focus is mainly on preparing for new projects.
Inside the project team of Nebula Games.
The entire first floor is filled with Universal VR development machines used for development.
Chen Xu, Qin Yi, Ruan Ningxue and other core development team members of Nebula Games.
Watching a demonstration on the big screen in front of you.
This is a simple demo for demonstration purposes.
The train on the track continued to advance with thick smoke, and the masked gangsters jumped on the train behind.
Horses run across the wilderness, and trams appear in modern cities.
