Chapter 1238: The Age of PC Gaming

Feng Yu was overjoyed: "What do you say this game is called?" Warcraft?! ”

"That's right, didn't you send someone to spread the word, saying that the Warcraft series should be made into a massively multiplayer role-playing online game, and also gave a lot of game background design, mission design, etc.?" Blizzard's chairman, Ad Khan, was surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Ah, yes, I didn't expect you to do it so quickly. Warcraft 3 is finished? ”

"Not yet, but this year there was a Beginning of Mayhem, and next year I'm going to launch the Frozen Throne."

"What about World of Warcraft?"

"This kind of large-scale 3D online game is difficult to develop, but fortunately, people from other game companies have helped us and given us a lot of experience. We expect that the development will be successful, it should take two years, as well as testing, debugging, etc., and we plan to go on sale and operation in 05. ”

Feng Yu nodded, it was about the same time as in his previous life. Just take advantage of the decline in the popularity of the legend and the emergence of other games, and once again start the name of the wind and rain game.

This life is different from the previous life, and the code of the legendary game has not been leaked, so there is no so-called private server. At this time, the legend is still in development, still maintaining high speed, all kinds of new maps, new missions, new skills, new monsters, etc., and still has strong playability.

In the previous life, even if the private server appeared, there were still so many players in the official server. But it is undeniable that private servers have taken away a large number of players. At its simplest, the private server can avoid the initial difficulty of leveling up, and people can learn almost all skills as soon as they come up. And there are relatively few people, so the monster robbery will not be so serious.

Another one does not need to spend money on a point card, although this point card is not expensive, but after a year, it is not cheap, at least for the student party, it is still relatively expensive.

Feng Yu predicts that the legend can still charge like this for three years, and after three years, with the emergence of new games, the popularity of the legend should also drop significantly. At that time, the price of point cards began to drop sharply, and it was stimulated for another year.

Then in 06 years, the point card fee was officially canceled and the recharge was changed to give members. Members are divided into levels, and a certain reward is given every day, which is a big move that can make money from various page games and mobile games in the previous life, and the legendary world of the previous life is also made like this, attracting local tyrants.

Then the legend should be able to hold on for a few years, and then develop a web game, develop a mobile game, and the IP of the legend will definitely bring ten years of profits to the wind and rain game.

However, the legend is a 2D game after all, and at this time there have been 2.5D games on the market, similar to the miracle kind, these games have taken away a lot of users with more three-dimensional characters, especially overseas, and are very popular.

After all, Miracle is based on the Western Legend class, which can attract the interest of those European and American players. However, even if the legend only has the Chinese market, it can leave a strong mark in the history of world online games.

But the big cake of 3D online games, can not be given to others, the three major IPs of the snow, dark, interstellar and Warcraft, must be deeply developed, the current sales of comics around it, not bad, toys, clothing, etc., can also bring a lot of profits to the company.

Games are not only about selling game discs and charging for cards, but also creating huge profits around the periphery. In the development of the surrounding industry, both the rice company and the island company have mature experience, and Feng Yu handed it over to Kameda Masao, and he did a good job. Even if it is a legendary peripheral, it sells very well in Huaxia.

And the World of Warcraft, which was popular in the previous life, was also popular for more than ten years, and even before Feng Yu was reborn, many people were still playing. After this game, all kinds of 3D online games began to become popular, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he led the trend.

Not counting Huaxia, the number of registered people in World of Warcraft exceeds 10 million. And the peak of the legend is known as 30 million players, that is the number of registered people, the number of people online at the same time, one server, not too many, only about one million.

Although there is a difference in this life, the number of people online at the same time on the legendary single server has surged, which is related to publicity, and it is also related to the fact that the server is not so stuck, and the development of Huaxia computers and networks is faster, but the number of people online at the same time on a single server at this time is still declining.

But fortunately, the speed at which the new server of the legend is open is okay, and the number of registrations is still slowly increasing. When I go to the Internet café, most of them are playing Legends, of course, there are also other games such as Half-Life, Dark, etc., well, there are some who are watching movies.

This was the era of the explosion of various online games, which many people called the era of the explosion of PC games.

Now the very popular PS game console, Ren Heaven or Gbox, of course, there are some fun games, but with more and more types of online games, there are constantly new companies joining the development of online games, and the market for home TV game consoles is constantly compressed.

And what really made home TV game consoles fall is mobile games.

With the popularity of smartphones, people can play games, read novels, watch videos, etc., anytime and anywhere, and no longer worry about how to pass their free time.

The mobile phone is the most commonly used tool around people, which is easy to carry and small. At that time, home game consoles could only work in the direction of somatosensory, that is, panoramic 3D, and they needed to wear that kind of special glasses.

But this kind of game console has another big drawback, which is that it makes you immersive. But you need a lot of space, and it's easy for people to accidentally get hurt, so you're always going to dodge.

You said you could sit on the bed, so you know you're sitting on the bed, how can you be there?

Therefore, in the future, this kind of game console can only take the high-end route, and the game market has been replaced by PC games and mobile games.

Now mobile games are not yet popular, and the largest game market is still home game consoles, but it has gradually changed to PC games.

Feng Yu wants every gamer in the future, when it comes to the history of the PC game era, he will always be the first to think of wind and rain games. Whether it's the era of 2D games, or the era of 3D games, or even the era of somatosensory games.

"Don't worry, if you have financial difficulties, you can tell Kameda Masao, or contact Ralph."

"There is no difficulty in funding, at present, our Warcraft 3 is selling well, and this part of the money is enough to develop the World of Warcraft."

"It's good, remember to pay attention to the people in the company and make them feel identified with the company. Give them a reward, don't be stingy. Some executives and employees who have made significant contributions should be given share awards, and there is no need to ask my opinion. ”

In the previous life, Brushing Snow experienced the departure of several executives at the same time, which seriously hindered the normal operation of Blizzard. In this life, Feng Yu didn't want it to happen again.

"Thank you, Mr. Feng, under your leadership, the company will definitely go to the next level. Wind and rain games will definitely dominate the PC game field in the future, so that other companies can only sigh! ”

This Mi Chinese is also very good at patting sycophants, Feng Yu feels transparent.

"The company is also inseparable from your contributions, and what you should get will definitely not be given to you. The future of the company needs to be created together. The history of PC gaming is written by us! ”
