Chapter 544: Is there a way out of the click game?
Many media outlets have spoken highly of the emergence of Dota maps. Xin, Lang Media believes that "Cut U has changed the embarrassing situation of not being supported by ordinary players in the past, until now, even if it is an ordinary person, he can easily play Warcraft." "If you don't know how to play Warcraft after Cut U appears, then you really are. liver too.
The operation is simple and the gameplay is full, such a Warcraft, after the popularity of the DOTE map. A lot of regular players, including Warcraft players who used to just try it out for a while and then left. Now, they're back in the arms of Warcraft. From the data shows that since the appearance of the cut U. Basically, the more well-known battle platforms in the world, they are all playing crazy DOTE.
"Oh, Dodd, you're playing Warcraft too?"
"Of course."
"Haha, with your skills, can you operate Warcraft well?"
"it or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, let's cut U in a game and see who wins and who loses."
Only one hero is operated, he is really too simple. For this reason, some of the gamers who turned out to be more dish. In fact, they also have amazing talents. However, the original conventional Warcraft, he really has some requirements for the operability of the keyboard with both hands. This made those guys with developed brains but inflexible hands depressed. Nowadays, after the advent of DOTE. The maneuverability of the hands is greatly reduced, and the result is an endless strategic competition.
Until this time, this was strategy.
Otherwise, just relying on the hands to quickly operate the keyboard and so on, it will not make people depressed to death.
And because of this, with the popularity of DOTE. Warcraft 3 is once again popular around the world, and some friends who didn't buy Warcraft 3 before, after learning that this Shao U appeared, also joined the arms of buying DOTE. Especially the players in the Middle Continent, when Shao U appeared, the growth of the players of Warcraft in the Central Kingdom was undoubtedly the most amazing. Although in the Central Region, the price of Warcraft 3 is much lower. However, I can't stand the crowd.
In the meantime, Warcraft 3 has exploded into sales records after the previous sales frenzy.
"500,000 copies."
"600,000 copies."
"700,000 copies."
The record goes on, and you never know how much potential there is for Warcraft around the world.
"With the rise of point-and-click competitive games, online games are not unique."
In the face of such sales records, the entire European and American game industry was dumbfounded. When the media released another sales record of Warcraft 3, they suddenly didn't know what to do. If the online games of the Tang Dynasty Company occupied the entire market before, they had to enter the online game market.
But now look at the single-click class competitive games, he has not lost his market. The reason why online games appeared, there is no room for point-and-click games to fight back, and it is entirely because the games you developed are not very good.
So, when your game is hit by the online game World of Warcraft. Naturally, all at once a total failure.
"Click to add online games, what do you choose?"
It wasn't until this time that we found out. There are two paths ahead of the European and American game markets: whether to continue to develop online games or to return to point-and-click games. If they continue to develop online games, will these European and American game companies be successful? Although we all say that online games and clicks are both games. However, there are many differences. European and American game companies are not familiar with online games, and now they have entered in full swing. If the whole line fails at that time, it will be frustrating.
Suddenly, with another sales record of Warcraft, the media began to hesitate. Originally, they wanted not to lose their market. was forced to enter the field of online games. However, when they saw that the point-and-click game was about to be resurrected, it suddenly became embarrassing again.
What a dilemma.
"Mike, the sales figure of 200,000 is not half of the original at present. But it's a little bit earlier now......"
Chen Jiayi is in another city in the United States, to Mike in Electric Blizzard
"Oh, Chen, you managed to convince me. I don't think there's a reason for us at Blizzard to enter the online gaming space. ”
Judging from the current situation, he can still make so much money in single-click games. Moreover, Blizzard's golden signboard, he is still very valuable. On top of that, Blizzard has been developing point-and-click games for a long time, and has accumulated a lot of experience. It's better to just develop clicks all the time. After all, although online games are good, not every game company can eat this bowl of rice. ,
Mike thought.
"K, I think, let's talk about the development plan of Warcraft 4 next."
Hanging up the phone, Chen Jiayi was in a good mood and almost hummed a song.
Judging from the current situation, European and American game companies, they may have been stimulated by the sales record of Warcraft. Although, we don't see a single company returning to the click-and-click game market at the moment. However, Chen Jiayi knows that this dilemma and not knowing how to be a good attitude will definitely make their development plan much more difficult.
Looks like the heat isn't enough.
After all, Blizzard, an old company, can't use common sense. Even, there are some businesses that will want to. Even if the world's game companies are finished, Blizzard will not be finished. In this way, the sales data of Warcraft 3 again, although it makes some companies red. However, it seems that they will have some difficulty in making plans to return to the click-and-click game market.
However, Chen Jiayi still has arrangements. If it was just a Blizzard, how could Chen Jiayi come to the United States in person? In addition to Blizzard, Chen Jiayi also has a big killer move. That is, Tang Dynasty also has a game company in the United States. This game company, although not founded by Tang Dynasty Company, has now been fully acquired by Tang Dynasty Investment.
This game company, and nothing else, is none other than Call of Duty.
The Call of Duty game group has been developing Call of Duty games since Tang Dynasty's investment and acquisition. For this reason, in the previous few game exhibitions in China, the Call of Duty game team also released Call of Duty. And, judging by the sales figures of Call of Duty. Although not as good as Warcraft. But with the help of Tang Dynasty Company, his sales data also made many game companies jealous.
Since then, after the success of Call of Duty, the Call of Duty game team has invested in the opening of Call of Duty 2.
Today, Chen Jiayi came to Washington, D.C., USA.
Washington, for this historic city, Chen Jiayi did not come to visit. He's here because the Call of Duty game studio is here. Chen Jiayi came here for no other reason, mainly because Call of Duty 2 was coming out soon, and he wanted to see one
