Chapter 579： The story of the son-in-law and the old father-in-law

The reputation of Resident Evil 4 declined.

The game star's "Resident Evil 4" player opinion, the current score is 7.6 points, and is still declining.

In the previous "Resident Evil 3", which had the lowest score, the player's public opinion score was also 8.6.

"The rhythm of the three big shots over there is the same as before, and it has just hit our weaknesses." In the Nebulas gaming conference room, Yang Chen and Xu Yu and UEgame and Jiasheng's responsible person , The specific situation is being discussed in the video.

The player's criticism is a bit polarized. Players belonging to the plot party highly praised "Resident Evil 4" and appeared as a group portrait. After Lin Jiayi's treatment, compared with the original dream memory Resident Evil, this game makes shooting feel better, and the game flow is more streamlined including battle levels, which are greatly simplified.

The players in the fast food department, as well as the players in the plot, gave high marks.

But in this praise, there is also a big wave of criticism that the game has become ‘not scary’.

Zombie dogs, tyrants, lickers, and these classic monsters from "Resident Evil" still appear.

However, compared to the first-generation ammunition resources are scarce, the repressive style of the entire game has also been attenuated. More often, the gun is not panic, and there are many bullet thieves and thunder.

In this case, Yang Chen is also clear that pure horror will not work. On the one hand, the player's acceptance of horror is getting higher and higher. On the other hand, the increase in the cost of the game, plus the narrow audience of horror subjects The final situation of cultivating the horror subject may be praise, and sales avalanche.

Because most players dare not play, or they like to watch others play.

At present, the volume of Nebula games is not unbearable, but sometimes it is not something that can be done casually without fear of loss, and it must also take into account the subsequent impact.

"Sales haven't actually affected much, and even increased slightly, but the players obviously couldn't ignore them." Xu Yu was also a big headache when it came to this.

Of course, there are actually behind-the-scenes hands behind this fundamental cause.

For most ordinary players, the performance of "Resident Evil 4" is actually good enough, but it is an instinct to pursue better things no matter who. For example, the game Xi plus one is the case, I can not play, But I have to.

In this case, ordinary players did not think so much at the beginning, but once the rhythm was brought up, such as questioning that "Resident Evil 4" is no longer horrible, so some old players who had played "Resident Evil" in the past There is a feeling.

Yup!

Why is "Resident Evil" not scary?

Even if they were scared to buy the game at the beginning, they didn't even pass through at all, but no matter what I want to be horrible!

This is why "Resident Evil 4" is able to sell so many copies at the same time that players are not scared.

Because everyone found that the quality of this game is very good, and it is not really so terrifying, it can be played completely, plus the IP effect of "Resident Evil" itself, and even "Resident Evil 4" sells more than the previous ones. Even better, even if the word-of-mouth effect broke out, it did not suddenly like Waterloo as in the previous "City of the Sky".

But this does not mean that you can pretend to be safe.

In the quiet conference room, there was a pause of about ten or twenty seconds, and Yang Chen suddenly made a sound.

"In terms of VR games, can UEgame provide some technical help? In the development of VR games, our Nebula games are still inadequate, especially when it comes to games with design and action elements such as "Resident Evil". on."

Hearing Yang Chen's words, everyone froze for a moment, and immediately reacted.

Grayson over UEgame looked surprised: "Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"

"Nebula Games has always been a player-based game company. Since players say that "Resident Evil 4" is too scary, then I think it is necessary to let players understand what real horror is, but I still have one The idea may require the agreement between UEgame and Jiasheng." Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem. If President Yang intends to develop a VR project, we can send a pair of technical teams. Of course, you have to pay President Yang to pay; in addition, President Yang, what do you think?" Greven nodded, these things he Still able to make a final decision.

"Not just VR games, but also PCs, but I want more players to experience the beauty of the game. It is free for all users of our platform, and the top 10,000 players who pass the customs can get one A shopping cart discount code, and players who did not grab the top 10,000 players can also get a single discount code."

Yang Chen said with a smile on his face.

"Jiasheng is no problem here. In fact, we are also discussing strategies for attracting players with discount codes." Jiasheng nodded.

On UEgame, Graven also nodded: "Of course there is no problem."

The discount code has already been discussed before, and now Nebulas has suddenly come out and said that it is necessary to develop a game that may be a 3A level for free to attract players. They naturally enjoy it.

Xu Yu was thoughtful.

After the meeting ended, Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said: "Mr. Yang, do you want to get involved in VR?"

"Technology accumulation." Yang Chen nodded softly when he heard Xu Yu's words.

Previously, I cooperated with Warwick in China to launch VR versions of "Game King" and VR versions of "Silent Hill", but compared with UEgame and the three major players who have been cultivating in VR for a while, in fact, Nebula games still have a lot of shortcomings. of.

On the one hand, Yang Chen hopes to launch a new work to pay tribute to the three major conspiracies, on the other hand, the main thing is to steal the teacher, and if you can wave a **** from the UEgame side and hit a corner, then Better.

Xu Yu, who hadn’t thought of Yang Chen thinking about how to pry the corner of the wall, asked curiously: “But more resources in our follow-up plan are invested in “The Witcher: Wild Hunt”, and include “Resident Evil” "The follow-up is basically not arranged?"

"In fact, there are still a lot of discrepancies with the previous "Resident Evil". If you want to give an example, it is actually more like "Escape". Of course, it is just an example. The plot is not the main terrorist. Scaring talent is the core. In addition, the story is not like the previous one that is biased towards blockbuster. Well, you can understand it as a story of a door-to-door son-in-law and the family of old father-in-law." Yang Chen smiled at the thought.

? ? ? ? ? ?

Xu Yu looked dazed.

"Resident Evil" series, what is the relationship between the son-in-law and the old father-in-law's family?

Before it was biochemical anti-terrorism action, now how does it become family ethics?
