Chapter 480： "The Wild Darts: Redemption"

While transferring part of the team from "Dark Souls" to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", the online popularity of "Dark Souls" is still fermenting.

Although for most masters, today's DLC has been cleared by them.

But for a game, even for a hard-core **** game like "Dark Soul", the masters at the top of the pyramid are never the main group, and the middle and lower average players are the most popular games. The core group.

For them, it has been a long time since DLC was opened, even though there is already a strategy process online for comparison.

Of course, Liver Emperor players are not in this category.

Only this time, the rest of the game manufacturers on the market except for some third- and fourth-tier small manufacturers have also announced a game plan similar to "Dark Soul".

First-class manufacturers like NetDragon and Tenghua are not prepared to create their own soul games.

When "Wolf: Shadows Die Twice" was hot before, they tested the water in this type of game.

But the final result was not very good.

This time, "Dark Soul" is even more popular than the original "Wolf: Shadows Die Twice".

But Tenghua, NetDragon and other manufacturers are not fools, they understand how difficult it is to develop this type of game.

First of all, the difficulty is above. Players who want to hook are not tortured and cry, but also let them feel the difficulty really.

Secondly, the plot should not be too bad, and the map design and the card design should not be too bad.

Finally, there is a more important point, that is, there is the "Dark Soul" pearl in front, and the game they developed is definitely more than being scolded.

In a little bit similar, a large plagiarized hat will be buttoned down.

It's extremely difficult to innovate in this hard-core action game.

After all, the combat system is nothing more than evasion, rebound, and blocking this set of paths.

If it's an FPS type game, it's like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" or "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

If you follow the trend, it will follow the trend. After all, FPS and open RPG games can be said to be mainstream games. And as a 3A masterpiece, even if it is developed with a formulaic process, the risk is not too great.

The "Dark Soul" hard-core game needs too much risk, although the market certainly has a market.

But why not bother?

NetDragon, Tenghua and other domestic first-tier game manufacturers have no intention of following the trend. As for the third- and fourth-tier game manufacturers following the trend, Yang Chen did not care too much.

Now Yang Chen is in the Nebula game, discussing with Xu Yu about the next strategy.

"Consolidate overseas markets?"

Inside the office, Yang Chen looked at Xu Yu and said.

The nebula game has basically been stabilized. The main experience of Xu Yu some time ago was on the plan to create IP around Nebula games.

Including film and television, "Silent Hill" is not a hit, but after it is considered successful, the plan for "Resident Evil" has also begun preparations.

However, unlike the original "Silent Hill", "Resident Evil" as a sci-fi zombie theme will be several times larger in terms of investment and scale.

"Our reputation is not small overseas, but it is still much worse than the power storm. Secondly, although the overseas market has been doing well in terms of servers, but for example, there are other influences such as publicity and distribution, we have done Not enough." Xu Yu said towards Yang Chen.

In fact, the games developed by Nebula Games are very well known overseas.

For example, "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", "Resident Evil", "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain" and other games themselves are more Westernized, but they are a bit more critical.

That is, these games were previously released to UEGAME. Except for some gamers who will understand the manufacturers, many overseas players think that these games are all owned by UEGAME, not developed by Nebula Games.

It wasn't until the games "Warcraft", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and not long ago "Dark Soul" were launched overseas, that the Nebulas game was understood by more and more players.

"What do you mean?" Chen Xu looked at Xu Yu.

"Overseas is a big market, we can never give up, IP and the company need to go out, we need to conduct independent overseas operations, without involving the circle of UEGAME issuance, I am more inclined to motivate their battle network platform, That is, the stand-alone platform only publishes its own games." Xu Yu said towards Yang Chen.

After listening to Xu Yu, Yang Chen nodded gently.

Afterwards, Xu Yu told Yang Chen about the establishment of a branch overseas.

But basically Xu Yu said, and then Yang Chen raised some doubts.

When the time comes to form an overseas company, Xu Yu is still required to operate.

"In addition, President Yang's next game, I think we should develop a mainstream game. Although the sales of "Dark Soul" is not bad, but..." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

Although the reputation of "Dark Soul" is large enough, and the sales volume is top-notch, it can be compared with the mainstream games such as "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" as the **** " The sales of "Dark Souls" are indeed no match for them.

Even in terms of fame and popularity, it seems that "Dark Soul" is not inferior to the games of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", but in fact there are still quite a few players in it.

"Relax, I already have an idea for the next game, an open world type game." Yang Chen smiled when he heard Xu Yu's words.

Even if Xu Yu doesn't say it, Yang Chen actually wants to develop a popular game.

There were FPS types before, and recently a **** action such as "Dark Soul" was developed.

Yang Chen also wanted to return to the open world theme that could make Nebula games really famous.

Although "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" can be said to be a masterpiece of the open world theme, UU read but it was a game on the switch platform at that time.

In addition, in order to fit the function of the platform, the picture is also produced by a cartoon rendering method.

"Have you already had an idea?" Xu Yu was surprised when he heard Yang Chen's words.

Even if not for the first time, I was surprised that Yang Chen had the efficiency of a new project just after "The Dark Soul".

But more is happy, just because Yang Chen can complete the project every time, and having a good project is also very helpful for him to develop Nebula games to the outside world.

Just like fighting on the battlefield, the difference in your game is equivalent to taking a banana as a sword, and a good game is carrying an AK47 on the battlefield. This gap can be widened.

"For the time being, there is an idea, a group of gangsters who happened in the era of wasteland development in the western United States, and a story about salvation." Yang Chen smiled, raised his arms, and then created a new one on the computer that was open next to him. Folder-"The Wild Darts: Redemption"
