Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

A Zelda that has attracted countless players to switch.

At the same time, it also pulled a sales volume of other games on the switch platform. Some players belonged to the pit switch just to play "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

And after playing, the machine is put aside and does not move, which perfectly explains what it means to buy a game and get a machine.

Some players choose to use the game console or cassette after playing. Although it is still at a premium compared to the previous out-of-stock or even used cassette and machine, it has stabilized now, but it can recover a little blood.

The rest are some who got into the pit because of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", but because of the characteristics of the switch itself, they became interested in this platform, so they entered the pit of "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Animal" forest games.

After all, the game console has been bought anyway, so why not try these exclusive games.

Some players who are not very interested in these two types feel nothing.

Some people who are interested can be instantly shocked.

In addition, there are a lot of small games in the switch membership library.

Many players found that these games, although the screen performance is not comparable to the current mainstream games, but it is really fun to play!

It is also not only the first party of Nebula Games, but many third-party game manufacturers have also gained a lot in the face of the switch sales driven by this wave of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

Tens of millions of machine sales and game sales, all of which prove the potential of the switch.

Although the market is still incomparable with VR, PC and mobile platforms.

But the key is that Nebula Games owns it.

Many designers and game manufacturers in the game industry are also very jealous of the performance of the switch.

It's just that apart from such as Tenghua and overseas UEgame, which have successively announced some broken handheld manufacturers, there is no sound.

As many people know, the success of the switch is almost impossible to replicate.

After all, this is not a long-term success.

The positioning of the machine itself is successful, the price positioning of the machine is successful, and the exclusive game of the machine is successful.

These factors are combined together to have the current switch.

Manufacturers including Tenghua and overseas UEgame are basically just buying and testing the water, and have not invested much resources.

It belongs to the kind of holding the 'what if? ' The lottery came to mind.

Even apart from Tenghua and UEgame's own fans, ordinary players don't even know that game manufacturers such as Tenghua and UEgame are also making games.

Including Chen Xu, after hearing about it, he didn't pay much attention to it.

During this time, in addition to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", many plans have also been completed.

The first is the porting of "Dark Souls" and "Monster Hunter: World" on the switch platform.

Some screen contents are indeed compressed a lot.

720 resolution 60 frames, 1080 resolution 30 frames.

In the linked host mode, it can reach 1080 resolution at 60 frames.

Compared with the PC platform and porting to the VR platform, it is obvious that the experience on the switch is definitely the worst.

But the switch also has the benefit of being portable.

You can play on the handheld, what else do you need a bike for?

In addition, players are more concerned about the New Year's special discount on the Nebula game platform.

This is the place that players look forward to the most every year.

It is also the same as in previous years, except for the routine hand-picking session and participating in the New Year's activities launched by various games.

Near the end of the year, the awards held by major game media are also a point of concern for players.

However, this year's awards, many players found a familiar situation.

That is the same as last year's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", which included all major media awards.

This year, "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" were packaged.

Except for the best VR game and the best shooting game, the rest of the more important awards are basically occupied by the two brothers "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Super Mario: Odyssey". .

Especially in the best game of the year, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is a history.

That was to be the first non-VR platform to win the Game of the Year.

No game before this has accomplished such an achievement.

After all, compared with the PC platform, the advantages of the VR platform are really too great.

Taking immersion as an example, if you want to make players feel immersive on the PC platform, you need to work **** the plot, art, music and level design.

But on the VR platform, the characteristics of the device itself can bring players a better experience.

To put it simply, it is a VR game playing against games on other platforms, which has a BUFF attribute.

And now "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has created this new record.

However, this should be a very exciting situation, but whether it is a game designer in the industry or an ordinary player, at the moment when the final award is announced, it is all a matter of course.

Because all players who have played "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", as well as game practitioners who have conducted in-depth analysis of this game, only know that there is no game that can beat it this year. .

It would be a very strange thing to not even get the best of the year.

So in a very strange atmosphere, this year's annual event also came to an end.

Although the popularity and the number of viewers have also reached new highs, many players are complaining online, saying that this is the most boring annual game exhibition, because there is no suspense!

 …

event site.

After the end of the annual awards, Chen Xu did not leave immediately, but after a brief interview with the game department, he chatted with Yang Chen, the director of the game department.

As for the topic, it is naturally a topic in the game field.

"Mr. Chen, this year's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a good lesson for game designers around the world!" Yang Chen said with a little emotion.

Since the birth of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" last year, game manufacturers at home and abroad have been working on open worlds.

And the templates are also based on the model of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".

And Zelda can be said to have taught everyone a lesson.

Chen Xu couldn't help but smile and said nothing.

"In addition, the design of the switch is also very good, but you can play the Nebula game well." Yang Chen said with some emotion.

In terms of design inspiration, the switch does have its own uniqueness, but it cannot be called a revolutionary design across the era.

It is mainly because of its characteristics that match the games built for it, which exudes a phenomenal charm.

Otherwise, it's actually just a hot-selling handheld.

"By the way, President Chen, will you still focus on the switch this year?" Yang Chen said to Chen Xu after thinking of something.

"Do you have any news from Minister Yang?" Hearing this, Chen Xu realized something in an instant.

"Although there are "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and "Red Dead Redemption", this year Tenghua's "Rogue in Troubled Times" performed well in China, but the overseas response was not very good. Shadow Ops: Wasteland did well."

"And Zeus' side, together with atrai's movement this year is probably not small." Yang Chen said to Chen Xu.

I didn't say it directly, but Chen Xu could hear the meaning of the words.

"Also, the current functional potential of zeus, whether it is our universe or overseas, has not yet been fully tapped. At the end of the month, Universal VR will update a patch to optimize the loading and loading, as shown in "Red Dead Redemption: The quality of "Redemption" can probably compress the time to start reading to about 10 to 15 seconds."

"Besides, Universal VR and overseas zeus will make a big change to the current VR game warehouse, adding a wake-up mode." Yang Chen revealed to Chen Xu.
