Chapter 340: The Dangers of Free Games

Speaking of perfect space-time, it is impossible to mention the "functioning ability" of perfect space-time.

It can be said that the game operation ability of Perfect Time and Space is stronger, more ferocious, and more ruthless than his development ability. Almost no game company in the mainland can match the game operation ability of perfect time and space. In my memory, Perfect Space was founded in 2004 and launched in 2006. Now, two years in advance, the 2004 Perfect Space masterpiece "Perfect World" is already in development.

For Perfect World, Chen Jiayi still attaches great importance to it.

When this 3D large-scale game was first launched, it almost shocked countless players in China. Even, many people regard this work as a masterpiece of the World of Warcraft. Although, he is no match for Warcraft. However, it is not difficult for us to see. The R&D and production capabilities of Perfect World's game were really the highest level in China at that time.

Moreover, this game is also the strongest one among the games under Perfect Time and Space. In later generations, "Perfect Time and Space" will launch any games, such as martial arts Gaiden, Zhuxian OL, Chibi, and Legend of Gods and Ghosts...... etc., none of which can be compared with the "perfect world". Unfortunately, it wasn't a great game that made him a hit, and when Perfect World was launched, it didn't become an instant hit. At most, it was just a hit and made a name for itself, but the number of online users of Perfect World was still in a very embarrassing situation.

Luckily, Perfect Time is smart. After launching Perfect World on the market, it did not achieve the expected results, and a few months later, Perfect Space launched his "Perfect World International Version". This version, in fact, is similar to Perfect World. The only thing that has changed is that one is a point card charge, and the other is an item charge, which is a free game.

After this change, finally, Perfect Spacetime ushered in the return of super popularity.

A well-made, yet completely free, large-scale 3D game that has attracted countless players. And the disguised fees in the game have also unknowingly earned one profit after another for Perfect Time and Space. It seems that the completely free game basically can't recover the cost, but I didn't expect that a completely free game mode has become the most profitable one in Perfect Time and Space.

It was this time that Perfect Shibao finally woke up.

In China, no matter how well-made a game is, it doesn't matter. As long as it's okay, it's fine. Later, Perfect Time and Space did not launch any paid games, including its martial arts Gaiden, Zhuxian OL, Chibi ......, all of which were free. Moreover, this free model has once again gained great success in Zhuxian OL. With the support of Xiao Ding's Zhuxian in later generations and the support of thousands of Internet readers, Zhuxian OL became the highest online large-scale 3D online game in China at that time. Until now, 40% of Perfect World's revenue is still contributed by Zhuxian OL.

"Ugh......."

Thinking of this free, Chen Jiayi sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Wan'er saw Chen Jiayi walking halfway, and suddenly sighed.

"Wan'er, you say, is it better to charge or free online games?"

At this time, Chen Jiayi asked about the charging method of online games in the current domestic market.

"Well, each has its own benefits. But I think the way props are charged is more attractive. ”

"Yes."

Chen Jia nodded.

has been playing games for so many years, how could Chen Jiayi not understand this truth. A paid game vs. a free-to-play game, the two are compared. If they don't know what they're about, players are sure to go free. Take a paid game and a free game, and if the content is about the same, then the player will still choose to be free.

This also fell to later generations, until 2004, after the first implementation of free games in the "Bloody Rivers and Lakes", this free whirlwind, rampant in China for several years, until 2011, is still a free game to dominate the world. And the point card charges, there are only one or two companies. It's just that although free is good, Chen Jiayi knows the harm caused by free games.

Just like the perfect plane.

At that time, he wanted to create a super-first-class game like World of Warcraft. Therefore, we can see that the production level of the game "Perfect World" is much higher than that of similar games in all aspects. Unfortunately, the domestic market is not buying it. Since then, Perfect Spacetime has not improved in game technology since 2006 until 2011. ..., which also leads to the fact that all his games use the same engine and have the same settings in all directions. No skills, equipment, upgrades, etc., are all about the same. It can even be said that it is completely identical, but with a different skin. This also makes many players scold Perfect Time and Space for not wanting to make progress, and only knowing how to make money.

In fact, in the face of money, if they can't make so much money without innovation, why should they innovate? In any case, innovation costs money, and innovation still has to take risks. In such a comfortable environment, how could they make countless amounts of money by launching a free game with a skin, how could they possibly innovate in technology?

Therefore, the Chinese online games of later generations, from 2006 to 2011, basically did not have any innovation. This kind of lack of innovation, whether it is technical or conceptual, the entire Chinese online game technology has been stagnant. Only the concept of the real martial arts community of the "Snail" company is somewhat innovative. Unfortunately, his innovation ignores the fact that it is still a traditional online game. This also led to the time when the snail company was inward, and everyone said that innovation was very innovative, but the traditional PK project was estimated to be finished.

The above-mentioned innovation is the semi-community concept mentioned by Chen Jiayi in Zhuxian OL.

He just doesn't want this concept of community to dominate the traditional online game itself. Because, this is the most basic requirement of the player. Otherwise, the game you make is too innovative, and the players won't be able to accept it. Because, for a lot of newcomers, he won't play. Even, play awkward...

"Let's go, let's try out a 3D game of perfect space."

Why do you want to do so much, Chen Jia has nothing to influence other game companies to make money, but he can influence Tang Dynasty Company.

Now the games under the Tang Dynasty Company are the targets of other game companies. As long as Tang Dynasty Company takes the lead, maybe the problem of no innovation in domestic games will be over.

Without thinking about it anymore, Chen Jiayi and Mu Wan'er soon came to the Perfect World exhibition area in Perfect Time and Space.

At the moment, Perfect Spacetime has only one game. This game is the perfect world for the future. Of course, it's not all done yet, and only a partial demo version is available.

"Can we try it out?"

Compared with the popularity of Zhuxian OL's trial play, although Perfect World cannot be said to be full of doors, it is true that few people are interested. The two of them saw the perfect time and space exhibition area, and only four or five people were trying to play. Moreover, after the trial, they all shook their heads. Looking at their appearance, they must have tried to play Zhuxian OL, otherwise, they would not have such a lost expression. Because, Perfect World is still a good game. At least, his 3D engine is much more powerful than World of Warcraft in terms of flight.

"Absolutely."

I saw two players come to try it out, and these two people still came from Zhuxian OL. Not surprisingly, it is estimated that I have played Zhuxian OL. This made the staff of Perfect Time and Space have some end to their expressions. Because, he knows that as long as the players who have tried to play Zhuxian OL will play Perfect World again, it is estimated that none of them will be very interested.

He has already hosted dozens of players who have no interest in Perfect World at all. This situation is considered to be a lot of sight.

Since there weren't many people trying to play Perfect World, the other players played for a while and then gave up their places. Just now, Chen Jiayi and Mu Wan'er took it. Skillfully control the mouse, pressing the familiar energy keys of Perfect World. The staff on the side was surprised for a moment and said, "Have you tried Perfect World at noon?" In his memory, it seems that he did not receive these two couples. But how could he be so familiar with the key settings of Perfect World if he hadn't played it?

"Nope."

Chen Jia smiled, operating the characters, and constantly experiencing them in the perfect world map.

"Double jump."

Double jump means that after the player character uses the control key to bounce, then press the control bar to jump again in the air. This setting has the feeling of being a master of some martial arts novels. It's a very individual setting, and it's also a very technical setting. A large number of 3D games in later generations have not achieved this double jump.

Moreover, Perfect Time and Space also promoted this setting.

"Flying Sword System."

In the perfect world, there is also a relatively new idea. This innovation is the flying sword system. ..., that is, the game character can step on the flying sword in the game and swim in the sky. In addition, you can fight players or NPCs in the sky during the execution. So, the game mode of Perfect World, he is all ways. Whether it's above ground or underground, you can PK or kill monsters.

This mode greatly enriches the game play.

Speaking of which, this Edgeworth Flight in the Perfect World is much more famous than the Edgeworth Flight of the Ethereal Journey. The Ethereal Journey of Edgeworth's flight, because it is in a 2D game, he produces a height though. But this height is not really the height. It's just that it uses perspective technology to float in a 2D plane. So, there is this height.

But in reality, how can a 2D game have a height, he actually has no height. In other words, in the flight of Edgeworth in the ethereal journey, he cannot achieve any angle of flight, but can only rotate back and forth 360 degrees. If you want to go up, a little higher, it's impossible. But 3D Perfect World does just that.

Of course, this is also the point that Perfect Time and Space wants to promote the most.

Because, although this energy is small, it is real, which makes people understand at a glance, and it will be amazing. While the other settings of Perfect World are also classic, they are not very well explained. Moreover, players may not be able to understand it. Just like the rounding game, why they rarely advertise. That's because, the classic play of turn-based games, is not easy to describe. It doesn't matter if it's advertised or not. You can only fight the time war, and after a long time, everyone will know that you are good.

"GOOD, YOU'RE PLAYING A GREAT GAME."

After a few minutes of playing, Chen Jiayi said a word of praise.
