I Developed Battlefield to Drive Players Around the World Crazy

The planning concept draft of "Dark Souls" placed in front of them is extremely complete.

Coupled with the experience in developing "Ayrden's Circle", several people immediately saw some ways from the concept draft in front of them.

Originally, they thought that the evil in "The Ring of Eldon" was already the ultimate.

But now they have to say that they really underestimate Chen Xu.

Check out what's in this plan!

They don't even need to develop the content of the game, they have already figured it out just by combining some features of "Ayrden's Circle" in their minds.

From the perspective of art style, the underground prison of Illushier, the Fortress of Farland... These maps are simply killing the players, dark and disgusting.

There is also the monster design in the game. Just looking at the original painting in the planning concept draft, Ruan Xue felt a little overwhelmed, and it was still in the underworld!

In the same game plot and world view, Yang Xin is also numb.

In "The Ring of Eldon", there are still some heart-warming plots, but in this concept draft called "Dark Souls".

Just like the name of the game, she only saw four words: darkness, despair!

A dark and hopeless world!

As for Qin Yi, it is purely judged from the gameplay.

Judging from some content and details, "Dark Soul" is not a big map like the junction of the French Ring, which allows players to explore many wild places.

It can be said that in "Dark Soul", each map exists as an independent point, which also makes it easier for players to fall into the situation of card level 023.

One cigarette, one pot of tea, one boss fight for one night, this phenomenon will be more common in this game than the French ring.

He couldn't help it, and the players could only ask for more for themselves.

But then again, maybe there are players who like this one?

At the same time, in addition to developing "Dark Souls", Chen Xu also has some other things to do.

"The quality is not bad. When the time comes, we will go to the Magic Capital International Electronic Entertainment Exhibition together, and we can promote them.""

In the office, Chen Xu sat on the sofa with York Lennon and Gabe Newell, talking about some developments in Wonderland Mall.

This time at the International Electronic Entertainment Exhibition, Nebula games are the main cards, and the official one also gives a lot of face.

The independent conference hall area can be said to be full of face.

But with so many resources, obviously relying on one "Dark Soul" is a little monotonous.

Therefore, Chen Xu also decided to bring some excellent games from his own mall to brush up on his presence.

"But now the development of the mall has entered a bottleneck period, and it is impossible to usher in explosive growth like before." Gabe Newell said with some regrets.

A "Grand Theft Auto" has directly made the Wonderland Mall harvest countless players, and it has such a charm.

But after this, the development of Wonderland Mall can only come slowly.

Relying on the game community and the settings of the creative workshop, the player group has been gradually stabilized and continued to grow.

This is true of any industry and product after the early madness.

"It has been a great success! Who would have thought that we could be so successful! York Lennon has no regrets, but the whole person is very excited.

He made that decision three years ago, and was called stupid by some people in the game industry in Europe and America, but who can question it now?

After a comprehensive transformation, they placed themselves on the big ship helmed by Chen Xu, Nebula Games, and their Liger Entertainment also soared into the sky.

When the two of them work together, it's a quack!

He is in charge of Gaga, and Chen Xu is in charge of random killings!

"And compared to this, I actually pay more attention to your new project Chen. I heard that it is already under development?" York Lennon winked, and it was self-evident why.

This is to go through the back door and snoop for inside information.

"This is a temporary sell-off." Chen Xu smiled and didn't answer.

"Well, it seems that I have to go through a difficult time again." York Lennon also made no secret of his disappointment.

Looking at York Lennon's appearance, Chen Xu and Gabe Newell couldn't help laughing.

"But compared to these, do you think we can involve the platform?" After the end of the laugh, Chen Xu's expression also became serious, and asked a question to the two of them.

"Platform? Didn't we already do it?" York Lennon didn't react for a while.

"Mr. Chen, you mean hardware!?" Gabe Newell, who was next to him, realized something.

"Yeah." Chen Xu nodded lightly.

"Impossible! Chen, this is impossible!" At this time, York Lennon also reacted and shook his head quickly.

Game makers, especially top game makers, have never thought about stepping into the hardware field and making their own hardware platforms.

But so far, many games have been tried, domestic big goose games, foreign AE games.

Even some large factories whose ancestors were rich today have carried out such layouts, but in the end, none of them have gained a firm foothold.

"It's too much money! And it's not just money-burning, including cutting-edge technology, as well as a complete ecological environment, the field of VR platforms is not so simple." York Lennon said.

For billions of investment, the settlement unit is still the US knife, and this thing is not finished until it is developed, and it needs a complete ecological environment.

As for the PC side, York Lennon didn't mention it (bbae), because he knew that since Chen Xu talked about the hardware field, it couldn't be a PC, or else he wouldn't be selling computers.

"Relax, I'm not that crazy, VR is not something we can get involved in, at least we are still far behind." Chen Xu shook his head and said.

The VR of the parallel world is probably the same as the living room host of the Weisuo two in the previous life.

But it is stronger, because it has a complete ecological environment, not just a game console.

If it is really to be developed, it must be surpassed in an all-round way, otherwise it will not be replaceable.

At most it becomes a toy, but it is impossible to succeed.

And the huge cost is not the current Nebula game to play.

To know the hardware product, the game is a very important part.

But it's not just the game lineup that can be saved.

A successful hardware product must have a point that attracts players, as well as an irreplaceable one.

"What do you mean, Chen?" York Lennon was a little confused.

Want to make gaming hardware, but not VR?

Is it really possible to change careers to sell computers?

"Handheld!" Chen Xu gave the answer in his heart.

"Handheld!?" Gabe Newell and York Lennon showed a surprised look.

You must know that there are also handhelds in the parallel world.

But the market share can be said to be small and pitiful, because there is a high degree of duplication of functions between handhelds and mobile phones.

The handhelds in this world are more used to play some mobile games, and even have the function of making calls and video chats.

There is no big market, this is a recognized thing in the industry.

But Chen Xu doesn't see it that way at all, on the contrary.

With his previous life experience, he saw a vast market instead.

Because the handheld computer in this parallel world is completely an enhanced version of the mobile phone in his opinion, which is a deviation between the design concept and the product positioning.

It is a handheld, not to mention a game phone and an alternative pad.

In the previous life, in the early development history of handheld consoles, many game companies and even mobile phone companies have made such wrong decisions.

It's just that the technology in the parallel world is developing too fast. Obviously, no one has deeply cultivated in this field. Naturally, there are no successful examples of learning from mistakes and lessons later.

If the handheld wants to be successful, then it must have an experience that the mobile phone cannot bring.

It's just that the experience of some functions is stronger than that of mobile phones, such as physical buttons, which allow players to avoid glass rubbing, which is a plus.

But it is not a necessary reason for players to buy.

For mobile phones, even smart phones.

Making phone calls, sending messages, and using various software are the main functions.

Playing games is only one of its functions, so even the so-called gaming phones that some mobile phone manufacturers focus on are only better in configuration and battery life.

In the final analysis, a mobile phone is not a professional game console, and it is impossible to make all its functions fully serve the game.

Therefore, for the core game experience, it is bound to be impossible to achieve the ultimate.

And because the mobile phone cannot fully serve the game, it is also difficult to port some large-scale games to the mobile phone, because the high-end mobile phone in the market is not even cheaper than the PC or even VR.

It can be said that the handheld and the mobile phone are two completely different positioning, and the parallel world obviously still regards the handheld as an enhanced version of the mobile phone.

But even with this wrong product concept, handhelds in the parallel world have a certain market for users and have not been completely eliminated.

And what Chen Xu wants is to fill the gap in this part of the market.

Of course, you have to have a heart and mind. This is still a strange field for Nebula games, even if Chen Xu has previous experience.

But the bottom of the market, as well as the feasibility of technology, this part also needs to be studied.

Of course, even though he started from scratch, it doesn't mean that Chen Xu really had to start from scratch.

The current Nebula game needs nothing else, and there is no shortage of cash.

Find a reliable handheld developer and buy it directly.

After all, according to the current share of the handheld market in the parallel world, even if it is the leader, it is not unaffordable.
