Chapter 285 Assassin's Creed
"E-sports?" Yang Chen in the office grabbed his head as he listened to Xu Yu's words.
"Good balance and good popularity, "Yu Gaming" undoubtedly meets an e-sports premise, and this will be a very good way to maintain the popularity of the game." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen very seriously and explained: "At the same time, Warwick has also promoted offline VR experience stores. At the same time, regarding the duel disc limited equipment you mentioned before, Warwick is also developing."
"At the same time, e-sports is also very good for the community structure of a game. For example, multiplayer online games are either the mainstream in the industry at present. One is the main focus on the community level and the other is the competitive level. "Biochemical Survival" can be said to be a game that focuses on the community level." Xu Yu pushed his eyes and pulled out a data book of about twenty or thirty pages from the folder next to him.
Xu Yu didn't know how to make the game fun, but he could still do it through data analysis.
Moreover, most game companies do this, and the games produced in this way will not become any breakthrough, but they are definitely what players think is more "fun" during that time period, because these things are what players like.
So there will be similar formulaic games, whether it is an ordinary mobile game, a large online game, or even the 3a masterpieces that players have been talking about.
This kind of game has one common feature, that is, the sense of déjà vu is particularly strong, as if it was carved from a mold. In addition to the plot and modeling, there has been no big change from the perspective of deep mission framework and core gameplay. This is a typical example of using data to make games.
"We will hold the "Yu Gay" competition ourselves?" Yang Chen asked Xu Yu.
"You can try the waters in an online league first, and the rewards don't have to be too high. The championship is 50,000, the runner-up 30,000, and the prize amount of 10,000 in the palace army is enough. It is done once a month." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.
Although it was proposed, Xu Yu was still very cautious about e-sports transformation. At most, the online model was servers, related staff, and the cost of bonuses.
The cost of 300,000 yuan to be killed is simply a slight silly for today's Nebula Games.
After all, every month is paid for wages, Nebula Games spends more than 10 million.
Offline events can be held, including venue rental, outsourcing costs, various miscellaneous expenses, and later promotions. They cannot be obtained without millions.
At the same time, there is a more important point in the loss, but the failure to hold the event will cause considerable damage to the Nebula Games brand.
Xu Yu has various concerns. As the current CEO of Nebula Games, he must be careful to drive the Nebula Games ship slowly forward, and he must be cautious about the unknown ocean.
But Yang Chen didn't think about too much. On the one hand, there are related competitions in the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh" itself in the dream memory.
Secondly, for e-sports games, Yang Chen also has a lot of things in his mind.
Originally, Yang Chen hadn't thought about what type of next game to develop after the DLC of "Metal Equipment: Phantom Pain" and "Oh God" were completed.
But after listening to Xu Yu's strategy of testing the waters in e-sports, an idea came to Yang Chen's mind.
"In terms of e-sports, in fact, the luck component of "Yu Gay" is actually greater. Although there is a saying that luck is also part of strength. If it is e-sports, I think I can develop a game that is specifically positioned with e-sports." Yang Chen said, thinking about a game in Dream Memory.
Listening to Yang Chen's words, it was Xu Yu's turn to be confused this time.
Develop a new game that is positioned as an e-sports game?
Not only Xu Yu was confused, but Lin Jiayi, who had been listening to the conversation between the two people, was also a little confused?
If he understood it correctly, Xu Yu Gangkang's meaning should be to maintain the alternative stickiness of the gaming community by e-sportsizing "Yu-Gi-Oh".
Esports is a service for the game itself, and is just a means to maintain the popularity of the game, rather than wanting to engage in e-sports games specifically.
"Mr. Yang, this is not very suitable." Xu Yu didn't say anything, but Lin Jiayi next to him spoke.
What is the most important point in e-sports game?
The balance of the game?
It has something to do, but the more important point is whether there are many people playing the game, which is the most important core issue.
No matter how balanced you have in a game, no one can play it, where did the contestants come from? Where did the audience come from?
Where does revenue come from? How to attract sponsors?
Therefore, if a game wants to take the path of e-sports, balance is important, popularity is a more important thing.
In terms of popularity, based on the current reputation among players, Nebula Games and its promotional strength, it can be said that it is not bad at all.
Especially in the minds of core players, Nebula Games is more famous than the three major ones.
It can be said that the most core issue is not a big problem for Nebula Games.
But e-sports-oriented games are really difficult. The most core problem is that the player's viscosity is too high.
Mainstream e-sports such as FPS and fighting games, and racing games have basically been divided into the pattern. The difficulty of later generations to challenge the former is definitely not very great.
"I already have an idea in my mind, and the type of the game is also very consistent with the attributes of competition." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Do you have any ideas next?" Yang Chen asked, turning the topic to Lin Jiayi.
After completing "Resident Evil 2", he went around Europe after the New Year, including several subsequent DLC modes of "Resident Evil 2". It can be said that Lin Jiayi's studio has not had much work at the moment.
"I have an idea, but it has not been improved yet. We are going to take over IP OEM in the industry for the time being." Lin Jiayi shook his head and said.
Unlike Yang Chen, he does not have many games that he does not have as a reference for his dream memory. This time he thought about a lot of things during his trip to Europe. Inspiration for some game designs also emerged, but he still did not have a comprehensive idea.
But it is obvious that the studio cannot dare to do anything, including the employees' salaries and other costs. Finding an industry manufacturer to follow the OEM for the game is what Lin Jiayi thinks at the moment.
It is also one of the commonly used survival methods in game studios.
"Are you interested in producing a game for Nebula Games? A game with a European background, and it is also a linkage IP game in the background world in "Red Alert: World War"; a game about the belief in assassin." Yang Chen said to Lin Jiayi with a smile on his face.
"You have already thought about it?" Lin Jiayi showed a shocked expression when he heard Yang Chen's words.
A sure tone looks like a complete idea.
"I had already thought about it when I was developing the expansion pack of "Red Alert: World War"." Yang Chen nodded without denying it.
"As for the name of the game..." Yang Chen paused and smiled.
"Assassin's Creed"
