As time progressed, many other game manufacturers launched their own new projects during this period.
For example, NetDragon's previous "Shadow Ops: Communication Interruption" has been promoted since the end of the year.
However, I later chose not to launch it at the same time, mainly to avoid "Uncharted" and Zeus's "Elemental World".
After all, Nebula Games and Atari were so powerful at that time, and NetDragon was afraid that they wouldn't be able to beat them.
During the development of "Assassin's Creed" at Nebula Games, the game also underwent a trial experience, but the feedback it received was not good, so it was delayed.
But this time it went online, it also gave NetDragon a blow.
According to media ratings and player ratings, I didn’t even get a passing score of 6 points.
Compared with the mixed reputation of the first generation, players this time collectively gave negative reviews, mainly due to the rhythm and narrative of the game. As an open world gameplay, it greatly separated the plot performance in the game.
In addition to the graphics of the game being in the top echelon, the gameplay and content of the game can be said to have no highlights in the words of players.
However, during this period, on the zeus VR platform, a game manufacturer from Switzerland brought a linear shooting action game called "Undercover".
Not only did it receive extremely high reviews from the media, it also exploded in sales, even directly outselling Zeus' previously released "Medieval: Deliverance".
This game is an action FPS linear game with a gang background. The player plays an ordinary police detective. One day, the tired protagonist returns home after work, only to find that his home has been broken into by a group of drug addicts. As the wife and children cried, gunfire rang out, and everyone except the protagonist fell in a pool of blood.
This also made him vow to arrest those scum who manufacture and distribute drugs one by one, so he joined the Drug Enforcement Administration and received an undercover mission to infiltrate local gangs and criminal organizations. However, during an operation, he was framed and killed. As a partner, he was represented as a righteous policeman and an evil gangster at the same time.
Coupled with the excellent action and bullet time shooting gameplay, as well as the excellent plot interpretation, the mixture of black and white brings complex emotions to the players, it can be said that this "Undercover" has achieved both sales and reputation, not at all. Not an exaggeration.
At the same time, in conjunction with the best-selling trilogy of DLC of "Uncharted", many designers in the game industry have begun to reflect, that is, does the open world really have to be better
The previous "Uncharted" was actually a start, but for most game designers, they still believe that the open world has great potential. After all, Nebula Game is a special case.
The success of "Undercover" this time and the failure of NetDragon's "Shadow Ops: Communication Interruption" have made many game designers start to think silently.
Of course, these are things that practitioners in the game industry need to consider.
For ordinary players, this period of time is so happy.
Nebula Games’ “Assassin’s Creed” and “Uncharted” trilogy have excited many players.
It didn’t take long for Zeus to release a high-scoring masterpiece on its platform.
For a while, players on the Huanyu VR platform and the Zeus platform were also at loggerheads. It was like a console war in the previous life.
In this series of masterpieces, time quickly came to the end of October.
Players have discovered that Nebula Games has announced new event news.
That is the double festival of Halloween and Double Eleven.
Many players were also surprised.
Because during this period, Nebula Games actually had no activities.
When it comes to Halloween, it’s more of just joining in the fun without much participation.
After all, Halloween is a major holiday in the West, and in addition to the special discounts in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the special discounts on the Nebula gaming platform include National Day specials, New Year’s specials, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas specials.
And this time, Nebula Games has added a new special promotion time for the first time
Many players burst into tears looking at the official blogs of Chen Xu and Nebula Games.
Will this also give their wallets a day off
I just finished buying the DLC trilogy of "Assassin's Creed" and "Uncharted", and here is a platform special offer.
There are really no coins left in the wallet!
But while they were shouting, these players were also looking forward to the next activities in their hearts.
Players are all so outspoken, saying that they will never buy anything again, and then they will empty their shopping carts.
At the same time, the intensity of this event is really not small, and compared with the simple and violent -90% green symbols of the previous New Year specials, this event seems to be less interesting.
The entire special offer is divided into three major parts.
First of all, the first part is nothing special, that is, discounts for first-party and other third-party games on Nebula Games’ platforms.
Of course, "Assassin's Creed", "Uncharted" and the DLC trilogy series are not included in this special offer.
As for the second piece, it makes many players cheer, and that is the rebate activity.
Based on the amount spent by players on the Nebula gaming platform, 10% of the tokens will be activated.
This token can only be used to purchase games on the Nebula Game platform. Many old Nebula Game players were almost in tears when they saw this news.
An unprecedented first time! You can also see money coming back!
Although there is no way to withdraw this money, it can only be used on the Nebula gaming platform.
But this is enough!
But there is a third item that surprises many players.
That is during the event, Nebula Games will launch a mysterious game during this period.
There will be a VR version and a PC version, with the VR version priced at 88 yuan and the PC version priced at 38 yuan.
All players who clear the game will receive the game for free, and the money spent on purchasing the game will be returned to the Nebula Game Platform as tokens. Games that are cleared on different platforms will be randomly given a game that has been sold by Nebula Games on the platform. games ("Assassin's Creed", "Uncharted" and DLC are not included in the list).
At the same time, the game combines the sword hunting activities previously held by Atari.
In each scene in the game, treasure fragments will appear randomly. After collecting the treasure fragments, the treasure can be dug out at the specified location.
The first 3,000 people will receive 999 yuan in vouchers, and the following 3,001-30,000 people will receive 399 yuan in vouchers.
The quotas for VR platform and PC platform are calculated separately.
After watching the entire event, the players were shocked.
"Damn it, this event is a bit awesome!"
"Hahahaha, this is the first time I have seen money back! I got more than 4,000 tokens back. Unfortunately, I bought both "Uncharted" and "Assassin's Creed", but fortunately the tokens are valid for a long time!"
"That's right, Mr. Chen suffered a huge loss this time! And the third event is quite interesting!"
"Completing the level is equivalent to free prostitution, and you can also find Easter eggs to dig out treasures? It's kind of interesting!"
"Not only is it free, but you can also randomly get a game that has been released on the platform. Unfortunately, "Assassin's Creed" and "Uncharted" are not among them."
"What does it matter? If you are lucky enough to play "Red Dead Redemption" randomly, you will make a lot of money!"
"Yes, this new game must be played in VR! Mr. Chen has made all large-scale games on the VR platform, and even the transplanted "Monster Hunter: World" has made a lot of money!"
"Yes, after all, the PC version also has popular mini-games such as "To the Moon" and "Undertale". Although they are classics, they are not cost-effective in terms of price."
Many players are excitedly discussing this event.
And many players have already decided that whether it is PC or VR, they want it!
Isn't it just a matter of clearing the level twice? What a big deal!
Of course, the VR version must be cleared.
As for the 30,000 places, most players don't have high hopes, after all, although 30,000 places seems to be quite a lot.
But there are so many players around the world, who can say that they will definitely get their turn, but the remaining benefits are available to every player!
After clearing the level, the purchase amount will be returned in full as tokens, and you can also get a VR game at random. Even if you own it, you can convert it into the tokens you consumed when purchasing it.
And not to mention other things, if you buy a VR game at 88, you can also make money by watching the scenery in it!
