Chapter 1402: Weapon Systems
Wu Zhaopu and Takashi Nishiyama were both stunned. () The current online game charging model is basically formulated by the "second shijie". Point card charging, completely free (in-game advertising, advertiser payment), "coin fee", and of course, the "prop fee" model launched by the "giant" company in the "Journey" game. This covers almost all possible network charging models, and Lin Feng said that what new charging model can be provided?
Lin Feng smiled.
"I propose to adopt a 'blood replenishment fee model' in Contra Online. Lin Feng snapped his fingers.
Blood replenishment charging model?--Wu Zhaopu was stunned. It's a new charging model, and it's unheard of and unseen.
"Hehe, it's simple. In Contra Online, all player characters have a health meter, and once this health is empty, the player must recharge it. If you don't recharge your blood, then you can only play again tomorrow, and you will lose your qualification for the game today. Lin Feng said.
Provide the HP attribute to the characters in "Contra Online", if the HP is empty, you can't play, you can only continue tomorrow!--Wu Zhaopu and Takashi Nishiyama muttered silently.
"Mr. Wu, Minister Xishan, there are several benefits to this charging model. The first is free, players can play without spending money, even if they don't spend a penny, they can continue to play, even if there is no blood today, as long as they wait for today, they can continue to play tomorrow; Lin Feng talked eloquently.
In Lin Feng's view, the biggest attraction of "Contra Online" is the player challenge, players not only challenge NPCs, challenge players, but also challenge themselves. First of all, in the daily game, it is to challenge the NPC, as long as you are high and not attacked by the NPC, then there will be no blood loss, and there is no need to recharge if you do not lose blood. In the subsequent challenge to the player, that is, among the PK, you can shoot opponents with a higher level than you and equipped haode, and this sense of accomplishment is unparalleled. zuihou is to challenge yourself. As long as you're good, you may even be able to spend a penny when you're dominating the game. It's a feeling of pride just to think about.
Especially when your name is officially announced on the leaderboard, the feeling of being worshiped by thousands of players is even stronger.
"But boss, what's the difference between this and prop charges?" Wu Zhaopu asked puzzled.
Although "Journey" is not charged for blood, it is charged for weapons and equipment, which in Wu Zhaopu's opinion, the two feelings are not bad. Takashi Nishiyama also nodded on the side, holding the same opinion as Wu Zhaopu.
"Mr. Wu, this is wrong. First of all, the item charging model of "Journey" will definitely change the balance of the game, while the HP charging model of "Contra Online" will not change the balance of the game in any way. First, all players have an equal chance to get any equipment in the game;Second, in Contra Online, there will never be such a thing as 'invincible', and it is absolutely possible for low-level players to defeat even the top players, as long as you are high enough;Third, the amount of HP only maintains the player's survival time in the game, but cannot change anything, and does not change the player's equipment attributes; zuihou, if a rich player smashes it, it can also grind the master to death with money. Lin Feng explained.
Wu Zhaopu nodded, if this is the case, this charging model is completely different from "Journey".
"However, boss, there is also a problem, if the players are all high, then how can the company make money? As the player's game time increases, the jishu will be higher and higher, so how to make money?" Wu Zhaopu couldn't figure it out.
You think,Maybe the player jishu will be very bad at the beginning.,Then maybe the blood will be often emptied.,But in the future, as the player jishu increases.,I'm afraid the player won't die easily.。 Even if you die accidentally, I'm afraid that the game time has been long enough that day, then you can also go offline and wait for the game to continue online tomorrow. At that time, how did the company make money? If it is not profitable, how can it maintain its operations? Will it maintain its operation by constantly increasing the difficulty? That will be resisted by the players, not to mention the reputation that has been built up with great difficulty will collapse in an instant.
"Hehe, Mr. Wu, if this charging model simply relies on the difficulty of the level to maintain operations and increase player recharge, it is undoubtedly drinking to quench thirst, so I have never considered this. In my opinion, the difficulty of Contra Online's computer levels will be relatively unchanged. Its real model of maintaining the company's profitability is in the player PK. Lin Feng said.
Player PK?--How does "Contra Online" pk?-Wu Zhaopu and Takashi Nishiyama glanced at each other, puzzled.
"Hehe, this one is very simple. Contra Online is set in the future, in December 2633 AD. In the background of the game, there are two organizations, one is the Federal Army Command, which is the righteous side, and the other is the terrorist organization nicknamed 'Red Eagle', which is the so-called evil side. In Contra Online, we can offer players two options, one is to join the Federal Command, and the other is to join the 'Red Eagle' terrorist organization. And the two organizations are inherently opposite in the game. It is legal to shoot each other and the rules of the game allow it, so once the large-scale PK starts, it will be difficult for players to not recharge!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Think, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and there are more casualties in between. Once you are "killed" by your opponent, don't you want to take revenge? In this way, the company's profits are still small. Perhaps after a big war, its profit is more than the money made in a month by the point card charging model.
"How is it, what do you think?" Lin Feng looked at the two of them.
"Boss, your offer is good. Then adopt this charging model. It is estimated that the closed beta will be completed within 15 days. After weighing it in his heart, Takashi Nishiyama gave the time.
After Lin Feng nodded, he motioned for Takashi Nishiyama to leave first.
"Mr. Wu, what do you think of Minister Xishan's proposal to disclose the resources of various game departments just now?"
Wu Zhaopu thought for a while.
"Boss, in the long run, it will be really beneficial for the company to unify the standards of assembly language, database calls and other specifications for the games designed by the company's eleven major game departments. This allows you to directly call each other's available character models, scene maps, and even upgrade modes. This can greatly shorten the development cycle of a game, and in terms of production costs, it can be saved. However, security has become a huge hidden danger. Wu Zhaopu frowned and said.
"Boss, if all game departments can call on the materials of other studios, then it means that the core secrets of our company's game department will be completely hidden. With so many employees in the company, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be individual black sheep or commercial espionage in it. Once it leaks, the blow to the company is fatal. How to choose between the two is really a headache. Wu Zhaopu said.
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, unifying the company's game compilation standards and game data call standards is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it will be of great benefit to the company, and if it is not used well, the harm to the company will be fatal.
"We'll talk about this next time. Now it's better to pay attention to the research and development of "Contra Online" and strive to launch it as soon as possible. Of course, the propaganda aspect can also begin. Lin Feng commanded.
Wu Zhaopu nodded.
Immediately, the official website of "Second Shijie" released a promotional advertisement for "Contra Online".
When all the players logged in to the "second shijie" and saw the promotional advertisement for "Contra Online" that popped up at first glance, they were a little stunned. Especially when they saw the "red pants" and "blue pants" that appeared in the promotional advertisements jumping and running on the screen, those players who had played "Contra" had tears in their eyes.
What a long memory, countless people have been crazy about this game, laughing for clearing the level, depressed for the end of the game, this is a game that brings everyone a lot of good memories.
"Contra Online", and now "Second Shijie" is actually going to adapt it into an online game, and many players who have played "Contra" applauded the news. When "Second Shijie" launched "Tank Wars Online" before, some players wondered if "Contra" could also be adapted into "Contra Online". After all, in terms of popularity, "Contra" was undoubtedly far better than "Tank Wars" back then.
However, if you want to adapt it into an online game, Contra undoubtedly has too many limitations, and it is far less easy to adapt into an online game than Tank Wars. After all, Tank Wars outperforms Contra in online battles by a lot, and how can Contra be changed? Let countless players conquer one level at a time?
Some players looked at the promotional video and questioned.
In this "Contra Online" promotional advertisement, except for the announcement that "Second Shijie" will develop "Contra Online", the rest of the video images are those classic pictures in "Contra", and there is no "Contra Online" picture, which makes players wonder what kind of game "Contra Online" will be. If the adaptation is too bad, it will ruin the image and beauty of Contra in the hearts of players.
However, soon, just one day later, the official website of "Contra Online" was established, and its related game information was released.
Those fans of "Contra" once logged on to the official website of "Contra Online" as soon as possible and clicked on the "Game Introduction".
- Contra Online is a large-scale online game based on Contra, a 2D side-scrolling shooter.
Seeing this sentence, all players felt a little calmer. The charm of Contra lies in the 2D side-scrolling version, and Contra Online has adapted it into a 2D side-scrolling game to keep it as authentic as possible, which is undoubtedly good news for many Contra fans.
But how exactly is the game played?
- Contra Online will take the form of two factions, the Earth Federation Force and the Red Eagle terrorist organization, and players can choose any side of them to join. And both sides are completely different in terms of weapons and equipment.
On the official website of Contra Online, some information on the weapons of both sides was also published. In the "Earth Federation Army", there are familiar weapons in the stand-alone version, such as the most primitive - individual rifles, as well as slightly more powerful "light machine guns", "multi-directional weapons" (commonly known as "shotguns") and other weapons. Looking at these familiar weapons, all players' eyes are hot. An inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart.
But look at the weapons of the "Earth Federation Army", all players are more concerned about the weapons and equipment of the "Red Eagle" terrorist organization. You must know that at that time, players could only choose the Earth Federation Army, but when they passed the level, the weapons of the "Red Eagle" organization were quite hot.
Immediately, the weapons of the "Red Eagle" terrorist organization were turned off, and everyone's eyes were hot.
Individual Rifle - Same as the individual rifle of the Earth Federation Army, there is no difference.
Machine Guns - Similar to the light machine guns of the Earth Federation Army, these two guns are almost identical, with no differences.
The real surprise is in the third.
Hand-Thrown Bomb - A bomb that can be thrown by a single soldier, which is extremely powerful and will deal different degrees of damage to the enemy depending on the damage location. It can even kill opponents in seconds.
When they saw this weapon, all players thought of the "enemy soldier" in Contra who was carrying a small bag and throwing bombs. You know, in the game, this kind of bomb has an explosion range, but in "Contra", the character has no blood, and he dies next to it. This is undoubtedly very frightening for those players who "eat" the two props of "shotgun" and "bullet acceleration", once they die, they will return to the era of "millet plus rifle", and the gap is quite large.
Looking down further, all the players shouted, this weapon is powerful!
