“Sun Bing paused for a moment before continuing.””Actually, strictly speaking, the ranking competition was indeed one of the reasons for gunfight’s failure. It’s probably because of this that Overwatch didn’t start a ranking competition.”” However, the root of the problem is not the ranking competition, but the game’s capacity. This is already a consensus within our project. “” ”

“””Due to the limited capacity, even if Overwatch doesn’t have a ranking competition, it will only extend the lifespan of the game. It can’t continue to develop until it dominates the entire domestic FPS scene. Although Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault are older, they obviously have a longer lifespan than Overwatch. “” ”

“””From this point of view, I don’t think our new project should follow the path of Overwatch. An FPS game with skills won’t work, and an FPS game with a ranking mode won’t work either.”” ”

“Qin Xiao lightly nodded his head, indicating his agreement. ”

“Previously, there were indeed a large number of games that mimicked Overwatch. In the end, all of them were pretty much done for. It even affected the entire FPS scene and caused them to be in low spirits. ”

“If there were still designers who wanted to copy Overwatch, they would be laughed at. ”

“Sun Bing continued,””if we’re going to make a new project, the most crucial question is what’s the core competitive point of this new project compared to the three major FPS games on the market? I think that’s the main issue we need to consider today. “” ”

“””From the big FPS games from the Western manufacturers, they’re basically moving towards a more realistic and grander content. More complicated firearms, accessories, more epic storylines, richer combat vehicles, and so on ...”” ”

“””But all of these require a huge investment and a large number of professionals. ”

Sun Bing was done.

“He had only described the current situation of the domestic and foreign FPS games market, but his meaning was actually quite clear. The key to this project depended on whether they could come up with a new game method. ”

“How should he make a new game? Based on the experience of the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States, it was to increase the investment and make a bigger scene. ”

Lin chaoxu’s fingers rapped lightly on the table as he furrowed his brows. It was clear that he did not agree with Sun Bing’s train of thought.

“Lin chaoxu said,””that’s one way of thinking.”” However, the problem was not only in terms of money, but also in the foundation and accumulation. Although Wolf Soul had also dabbled in some major war scenes, it was still far from being comparable to the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States. Even if we make it, we have to consider the taste of the local players. We can’t go to the overseas market if the local players don’t buy it, right? And even if it’s in the overseas market, it can’t beat those European and American manufacturers. “” ”

“””What do you think?”” he looked at Qin Xiao. ”

“Qin Xiao was silent for a moment before he spread out the documents in front of him,””””To be honest, I don’t really want to do a new FPS project. The reason is simple. There hasn’t been any revolutionary technological progress yet.”” ”

“””The Pangu engine is indeed an epoch-making physical engine, but it might not be able to stand out in an FPS game. It’s just to make the force of being shot more realistic, and the effect of being shot more realistic. “” ”

“””The players don’t really feel that much. That’s why Chen Zhao chose to fight with cold weapons. It’s more intuitive to fight with cold weapons. “” ”

“””On the other hand, there hasn’t been any revolutionary new ways to play FPS games. There are still some other modes like ‘safe and unboxing’,’mindlessly attacking’,’special firearms’, and ‘fighting zombies’. Although the cart and spot-occupying playstyle of ‘Overwatch’ looks rather new, it’s only interesting when it’s paired with the hero characteristics of ‘Overwatch’. If it’s forcefully put into a normal FPS game, it won’t be that fun. “” ”

“””You mean to try not to do it?”” Lin chaoxu muttered. ”

“””It’s possible, but there’ll be some risk involved,””Qin Xiao replied. ”

“Lin chaoxu smiled.””The risk is fine. Tell me your thoughts.”” ”

“Qin Xiao considered for a moment before he replied in a serious tone,””””My thoughts are actually similar to Sun Bing’s to a certain extent, which is to add more Grand scenes and modern weapons into a more traditional FPS game like Wolf Soul, such as more artillery, tanks, and planes.”” ”

“””Of course, there are risks in doing so, but our goal isn’t to compare with European and American manufacturers. Our main goal is still domestic. As long as you add a few planes, tanks, and cannons to make it better than fire assault, it’ll be fine. “” ”

'',

“””In addition, these modern weapons can actually better reflect the role of Pangu engine. For example, if a shell explodes on the ground, it will leave a hole in the ground, and at the same time, the shock wave will send players flying, or the shell fragments will cause damage to players. All of these can be used as gimmicks of the game. “” ”

“Lin chaoxu thought for a moment and said,””hmm ... Sounds good.”” In other words, they’re only making improvements and updates to the current traditional game modes, adding new content, and at the same time focusing on the effects of physical appeal, not completely copying the Western manufacturers. “” ”

“Qin Xiao nodded,””yes.”” It’s not practical to learn from the big factories in Europe and America. On one hand, we’re not capable enough, and on the other hand, the Chinese players might not fall for it. At least for now, most of the players in Wolf souls only want to have fun with Tutu Tutu. There’s basically no need for a story in an FPS game. “” ”

“Lin chaoxu nodded, clearly agreeing with Qin Xiao’s statement. ”

“Qin Xiao’s plan was equivalent to a compromise. With Wolf Soul as the foundation, he added a larger map, more abundant firearms, vehicles, and modern weapons. At the same time, he still mainly played online battles, trying to suit the taste of the domestic players as much as possible. ”

“Although there was still a little risk, it was worth a try. ”

“Lin chaoxu thought for a moment and said,””alright, this is the plan for now.”” Qin Xiao, you’ll be in charge of this. “” ”

“””No problem.”” Qin Xiao nodded. ”

“Lin chaoxu was clear that even though Qin Xiao’s plan had some risks, it was completely within control. Even if the game didn’t become popular, it shouldn’t be hard to guarantee profits. ”

“After all, they were mainly considering the domestic market, and their competitors were fire assault and Overwatch. ”

“Lin chaoxu looked at Jin jieguang and said,””also, pay more attention to ZEN Entertainment and Thunderbolt Entertainment’s movements. They should have received the notice from the game Committee.”” Especially Chen Mo, pay more attention to him. “” ”

“””Don’t worry, Mr. Lin!””Jin jieguang nodded. ”

“””It’s alright, there’s no need to be too worried. “”Qin Xiao replied. In terms of funding and Foundation in the field of FPS games, we’re clearly better. Furthermore, Overwatch wasn’t very successful, which meant that it was difficult to innovate in the FPS field. In the field of traditional FPS games, we have the data of a large number of Wolf Soul players, so we have an absolute advantage in this aspect. “” ”

“””That’s right,”” Sun Bing nodded.””I think Chen Mo’s Overwatch is an important attempt in the FPS scene, but the results aren’t looking good.”” He won’t be able to come up with any new ideas in the short term, right?”” ”
