I Developed Battlefield to Drive Players Around the World Crazy

After the meeting, Chen Xu himself sat in the office and filled in the contents of the planning plan.

The next Chen Xu needs a subversive game to make Wonderland Game Mall stand completely.

And this game is "Grand Theft Auto", GTA.

As a classic that cannot be ignored in the history of games and a masterpiece of open world games, there is no need to repeat how awesome "Grand Theft Auto" is.

For many players in the previous life, it is a childhood memory. When facing a sin city without Sinicization in computer class, even if half a word is not understood, they can play happily in it for 45 minutes.

And things like cheat codes are much smoother than English words. The meaning of the word panzer can be said to be clear in my heart.

From a technical point of view, in fact, it is not so difficult to develop GTA with the technology of the parallel world.

The only difficult point for Chen Xu is that its content is too large.

In the previous life, it cost nearly 300 million US dollars, and 2,000 outstanding game producers from all over the world gathered together. It took five years to find the traffic data of Los Angeles in the real world as a statistical model. to make it more real.

Of course, the $300 million includes "zero zero" promotional expenses, and more than 2,000 game producers are also not all responsible for the content of a GTA project.

But it also reflects the size of the game.

And with the industry and technology level of the parallel world, many things that were time-consuming and laborious in previous lives can be compressed.

But it also takes a long time, and this game Chen Xu will inevitably outsource most of the content, otherwise it will take too long for Ruan Xue and the others in the art department to do it.

But for the current Chen Xu, money is not the biggest problem, but the real biggest problem is time.

Because Chen Xu can't let Nebula games have such a long period of time, there is no vacuum period for new games.

Therefore, while developing "GTA", Chen Xu was also preparing to use his leftovers to make a game with robbery as the gameplay.

This is also considered to be a momentum for the follow-up "GTA" launch.

In the Nebula game, Chen Xu's side was perfecting the planning draft little by little.

Countless people are also closely watching the performance of the Wonderland game mall. After all, other than Chen Xu's works, can they have a better result in their mall?

This is something that everyone in the industry is concerned about.

If it fails, there is nothing to say.

For the layout of Nebula games, the major channels must be scattered.

If it is successful, it will be completely different, because the game industry has a new place for aspiring manufacturers.

On the third day, Gabe Newell, who was in charge of the Wonderland (Eden) mall, immediately used the official blog and some professional exchange forums in the industry to announce the latest data. After all, more people in the industry paid attention to these.

Aside from the many games under Nebula Games, as well as the recently launched "Monster Hunter"

The best-selling game is a game called "Game Empire", produced by an independent game studio invested by Liger Entertainment.

A business simulation game, the main gameplay is that the player acts as a game producer, recruits various employees, and then designs the game to establish the goal of a game empire.

The game is priced at 15 yuan and sold 70,000 copies on the first day, which is the highest-selling game.

Secondly, if the sales ranked second, it is a shooting game called "Ninja Asagi". Players need to play a beautiful girl ninja and fight against the monsters invading the world in the dark.

As far as the gameplay is concerned, it doesn't actually have much features, it's just an ordinary horizontal shooting game.

However, the conscientious price of 30 yuan, as well as the excellent character design and shaping, still attracted the attention of a group of LSP players, and won high praise, ranking second with 67,000 copies.

Although the sales have not played "Game Empire", but the sales have exceeded a lot.

In addition, there are 4 games with a single-day sales of over 50,000, and 31 games with a single-day sales of over 10,000.

As for these games, many of them are also available in other channel malls, although the sales on the first day are 10 or 20% higher than that of the Wonderland mall.

You have to know one thing, that is, the share in the fairyland mall is 30%.

Before this, many game game manufacturers and designers were most worried that players in Wonderland Mall would not buy games other than Nebula games.

But now, this data says it all.

It's true that some of these games are underperforming, but that's also because of quality issues.

And none of these game makers are stupid. Seeing this situation, they are also contacting the Wonderland (Eden) Operations Department on Gabe Newell's side and starting their own promotions.

There are not many false routines, and the discount mode is directly activated to attract more players to come to Nebula Games to buy games.

After all, even if it is the profit from the purchase after the discount, it is 50% or even more profitable than other channels.

And if the player who purchased at the original price before this, the difference will be directly transferred back to their respective payment accounts, and will never be backstabbed.

Even some game studios that are more courageous and have confidence in themselves have directly removed the games from other malls and dedicated them to Wonderland.

A series of combo punches gave Wonderland a good start, at least at this stage.

In this regard, many designers in the game industry, including various small game manufacturers, hope that Chen Xu can build Wonderland Mall.

Because in that case, it can be foreseen that in the future, whether domestic or foreign, the era when the channel giants are king will no longer exist.

The Internet is still surging.

But to be honest, Chen Xu really didn't care.

Channel dealers are very good at him, and some game designers praise him.

In fact, Chen Xu himself didn't care.

Just like when he painted cakes for York Lennon, Qin Yi and Gabe Newell.

For Chen Xu, in fact, money is not the main fun for him.

What he really wanted was a kind of spiritual satisfaction, a spiritual sense of achievement.

Launching a game that excites players is what makes Chen Xu happier.

Of course, it is also interesting to see the expression of the player crying and scolding him as a thief occasionally, isn't it?

However, after the two consecutive releases of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and "Monster Hunter", players should be somewhat slowed down for a while, but don't play it badly.

In the conference room, Ruan Xue, Yang Xin, Qin Yi and others watched Chen Xu's arrival, all in high spirits and full of expectations.

On the one hand, it's because the Fairyland Mall has a good start, and on the other hand, it's also because they have already heard that Chen Xu will have a super-large project next.

Even when Qin Yi and the others inquired about it, Chen Xu also used the title of "creating a new genre" and "epoch-making" to describe it.

How can this not make them excited.

You must know that so far, the only game that has really made the industry call Nebula Games' brand and created a new genre is "Minecraft".

As for "Ayrden's Circle", the industry more often said that this is a game with a pioneering style in terms of style. To put it bluntly, it has that kind of meaning, but it is not very good.

And "Battlefield", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and "Monster Hunter" are more like masters in a certain field.

"Okay, I believe everyone knows what we have done recently." Chen Xu smiled, looked at the excited crowd, and then continued.

"Maybe we did change some things in the game world, but I want everyone to remember that the most important thing for us is to make games that make players feel happy, and our purpose is to allow players to bloom A happy smile.

Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone's expressions became serious, but at the same time a little weird.

Make players feel happy and have a happy smile?

The tree guard, the breakup kitchen, the death of the soap ghost, and the monster abuse... I don't know if the players are happy or not, but they must have put on a mask of pain for a while.

"Okay, everyone, don't be so serious, play games happily, and get bonuses happily, don't think too much." Chen Xu clapped his hands.

"Besides, weren't you curious about what our new work will be?"

"Now I will tell you the bottom line.

As Chen Xu's words fell, a planning book appeared on the big screen behind him.

It says three letters: GTA

But this is not a complete planning scheme, it just involves the background in the game: Los Santos.

For Chen Xu, the most important thing in the early stage is to build the stage frame of Los Santos.

As for the content of the script and gameplay, it can be filled in slowly in the follow-up, this one is not urgent.

Because 50% of the engineering volume of the entire game is almost all on the huge stage of Los Santos.

"This... this!" Qin Yi was shocked.

Although it is not a complete version of the plan, it also shocked everyone.

Incomparably huge modern city map, as well as the mentioned main line content, the game will have three protagonists and three quest lines.

The gameplay and details are unclear, but the amount of engineering on this stage is too exaggerated!

"Yes, this will be our biggest game ever, an open world game, what we want to create is not just a game, but a living world! Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Certainly, this is a work that requires a lot of our time."

"So while doing the pre-work of this game, some of the materials in it are the games we will warm up to the players next."

Looking at the crowd, Chen Xu temporarily moved the "GTA" project aside and opened another prepared proposal.
