Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

The rich content of "New God of War" has become the focus of players' discussions.

In addition to the plot gameplay of the main line of the game, in fact, it is more about exploration and challenges of various countries.

Especially the Valkyrie, and the last Valkyrie King, make "New God of War" as if transformed into an ultra-difficult **** game, even if the difficulty of the game is lowered, it is still very difficult for most players. Difficulties.

The graduation Zeus set obtained by defeating the Valkyrie King in the game has also become the goal of many players.

Although playing at this time, basically the players have already passed the main storyline of the game.

But the ARPG attributes of "New God of War" itself still allow many players to have this kind of motivation.

As the strongest suit in the game, many players also fantasize about letting their Lord Kui wear this Zeus suit and become the real God of War.

After all, during the experience of the game, Kratos' performance really gave birth to a lot of stalks.

Mainly because there is no comparison. In the previous trip to Greece, the difficulty of the game was actually higher than that of "New God of War" in some places.

But before that, there was no such good son as Atreus for comparison.

With the game's plot and actual experience, this contrast.

The image of Lord Kui, God of War, was immediately transferred to his son Atreus.

In addition, it is the plot in the game, and the reason why most players focus on the Nordic content is mainly a change in style.

Although the Greek trilogy before this is equally good, it shows players a character that can be called the most MAN in the history of the game.

The aesthetics of violence is brought to the extreme, and the world view and background are also quite grand.

The blackening of the gods of Olympus, Kratos, who became the **** of war, directly penetrated Olympus.

Kill all kinds of gods, and each **** also has its own unique appearance, skills and boss battle style.

The crisp killings, the dazzling **** scenes, and the extremely visually impactful battle scenes under the QTE all make the **** of war in the Greek mythology trilogy exude a violent atmosphere from beginning to end.

But these are the charms of the game that players can personally feel.

If you really want to discuss it, the players will discuss at most, **** the BOSS gods, as well as various gameplay and operations.

In terms of the plot, the only point worth discussing in the Greek trilogy is whether Athena is good or bad, and why it has changed so much before and after. Moreover, the exploration content of the game is not much rich. .

His essence is more like a movie game, just like "The Last Survivor" and "Bioshock", but at the same time it is different from the theme of "The Last Survivor".

In "The Last Survivor", players can feel the ugliness and choices of human nature in the apocalypse.

But in "God of War", there is obviously no such in-depth content. If you really want to say it, it is like "Uncharted Sea", allowing players to experience the purest coolness, but at the same time, "God of War" is not like life in the sea of ​​​​divines. Breath, Nathan's relationship with Irina and the friendship with Sullivan's teacher and father.

Mang in God of War is just one word, killing from beginning to end. There isn't much change in the plot.

But after Lord Kui came to Northern Europe, the game style of God of War changed directly. Many players didn't understand what the new God of War was at first, and didn't understand until after the experience.

Because this work has carried out a new interpretation of the God of War and given new vitality.

Although Kratos was a **** before, his performance could be a **** or a monster, but he didn't look like a human being.

In the new God of War, with the experience of Atreus, Kratos can be said to be completely sublimated.

Let the game completely surpass the past in terms of plot and character shaping.

The most direct point is that it is reflected in the ratings of major media.

The previous Greek trilogy, the major media gave the score is basically around 9.0.

It's not low, but it's not high either. It can only be said to be a relatively good work in the game circle.

But "New God of War" is completely different, and even authoritative media such as GameSpot have given full marks.

‘After coming to Northern Europe, the God of War is so outstanding, like the finishing touch, it completes the last piece of the puzzle and is also the most important piece. ’

‘Kui Ye is no longer a **** of war, no longer an avenger, no longer the spirit of Sparta, he is an old father of a child. ’

'Each component of the thrilling journey is complemented by the others, resulting in a masterpiece'

‘Although some parts of the game have become a little uncomfortable for players who have just gotten used to the trilogy, Lord Kui is still the same Lord Kui, who is still extremely domineering. ’

‘Growing from an irritable God of War to a mature old father, the new God of War removed his impulse and unruly after coming to Northern Europe, but added emotion and fetters. ’

'If you insist on talking about shortcomings, it can only be a fairy tale to be continued! ’

………………

Shortly after the release of "New God of War", the corresponding activity Chen Xu did not fall behind.

The first is the hosting of the corresponding "DOTA" events. Up to now, the level of players in "DOTA" has become more and more mature.

It is mainly due to the emergence of video and live broadcast platforms. Some masters have new research and routines, which will soon be known by more players through these media, so the corresponding events have basically begun to mature.

As for the competition, Chen Xu did not come up and just like the "DOTA" in his previous life, he held a world competition or launched some kind of pass, and then invested part of his income into the prize pool.

This can indeed create a world-renowned event, but there are also many disadvantages. The most direct point is that the importance of this key event is far more important than others.

For example, there is a situation where only one TI is played a year, other events are paddling, and TI is exerting force.

And if we talk about the attention and popularity, the current Nebula games can't do it, so in the plan, we first divided each competition area into A-level and S-level.

After the strength of the teams in each major region is mature, they will hold the corresponding worldwide events and major leagues. Based on the points, they will directly enter the world events and compete with the teams that need to play the wild card competition.

This piece of words is not inexperienced for Nebula games.

"Warcraft", "Rainbow Six: Siege" and other related events have accumulated enough experience.

In addition, it is about the linkage of related accessories of "DOTA".

After all, the source of income of "DOTA" comes from accessories, and Nebula Games has various classic IPs. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to not use it?

Looking at the related revenue activities, Chen Xu made a calculation.

First come a set of "World of Warcraft" linkages, Illidan's body and mind of Anti-Mage, Maya Shadowsong's body and mind of Phantom Assassin...

Another set of "God of War" linkage, Zeus's treasure Zeus.

A series of linkages have directly caused many players to look at their wallet bills and begin to doubt their lives.

Isn't "DOTA" a free game?

So here comes the question? Where did the money go!

………………

In the Nebula game, take a lunch break.

With a cup of hot coffee in his hand, Chen Xu came to the sofa in the lounge area.

"What are you looking at?" Walking towards Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue next to him, Chen Xu was a little curious as he watched a group of people gather at the table to look at things.

After approaching, Chen Xu saw a large tablet in the center of the table, and then showed a speechless expression.

Good guy, cosplay show under Nebula Games.

Arthur Morgan and Mary, Link and Miffa, Johnny and Riva, Gehrman and Maria, then Johnny, Ghost, Soap...

All are under Nebula Games, with characters full of tragic colors.

"Mr. Chen, do you feel the resentment of the players!" Yang Xin turned to look at Chen Xu and said.

"Well... Compared with this kind of resentment, I think I will release half of the game that I have made, and then say that this is a series in my lifetime, which will arouse the resentment of players." Chen Xu found a place to sit down. , said with a smile.

Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue next to him all widened their eyes.

Although they didn't speak, from their eyes, they could clearly feel the meaning they wanted to express: Did someone say this?

"Mr. Chen, you have already done this! The new God of War's follow-up Ragnarok has not yet been approved!" Qin Yi, who was at the side, couldn't help but complain.

That is, the continuous launch of "DOTA" linkage activities, and related events shared some firepower.

Otherwise, the official blog of their Nebula Games will be bombarded by fire again.

"Four games in a row, players are probably a little tired of it, let them take it easy." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Could this be an excuse!

Listening to Chen Xu's words, Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue and the others all showed speechless expressions.

"By the way, President Chen, what kind of big surprise are we going to prepare for the players this Halloween?" Yang Xin asked Chen Xu after thinking of something.

It's almost Halloween again. This is the annual reserved program of Nebula Games, which is to bring players a horror game.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint the players." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Meng Zuo next to him pouted and didn't ask.

"Aren't you curious what the subject is?" Chen Xu waited for a long time and found that no one answered, so he could not help coughing.

"Mr. Chen, you absolutely have the right to speak on the matter of cheating players." Ruan Ningxue added.

"How can it be called a pit? This time the game is not to scare players, or to make players feel emotionally broken and sad, and there are some educational horror games." Chen Xu spread his hands, and then paused before saying: "It was broadcast not long ago. Do you know the news that the science program of the

"That old show? President Chen, have you watched it too?"

"Is that a show called Entering Science? It was scary when I was a child, it was a shadow of childhood, and it was only a funny show when I grew up."

"Indeed, at the beginning, the light bulb was flickering on and off, and the whole thing was chattering. In the end, it was found that there was a problem with the switch."

Several people talked about it, obviously everyone saw it when they were young, and it was a childhood memory.

"If it stops broadcasting, I hope that it will stop broadcasting more because it has fulfilled its mission, rather than being cut off by the TV station because the ratings cannot be cut off, but it is probably just a good wish."

Chen Xu did not show the same smile as everyone else, but shook his head gently and said.

"Mr. Chen, is the new game related to this?" Yang Xin asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes." Chen Xu stretched his waist and got up with a smile.
