Chapter 299: League of Legends
Although Yang Fan has proven his vision several times, Zhu Hua is still not very optimistic about this game, a competitive game with multiplayer online?
If nothing else, profitability is a problem!
Thinking about it, Zhu Hua said, "We've always been making massively multiplayer online role-playing games, and I'm not very good at this kind of game as you said." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
To be honest, Yang Fan also has a concern about this kind of game, yes, he is as worried about the market as Zhu Hua!
It's not '09, it's '99, and the entire Internet has only been on the rise for a few years, and not only China's Internet population is small, but the world's Internet population is very small.
If it is operated for free when the network population is very small, how much profit there is from the surrounding income, Yang Fan is really bottomless.
Although thinking so, Yang Fan said, "It's not the key whether you're good at it or not!" ”
What's not good about this kind of game? The most difficult hero design really can't just copy LOL and DOTA. Yang Fan used to be a senior MOBA player who played Chenghai 3C in 05, started playing DOTA in 07, and started playing LOL in S2, and for him, he has memories of the general characteristics of most heroes!
After carefully considering the gains and losses, Yang Fan was still ready to take out LOL......
It's a shortcut!
Maybe LOL won't make as much money as it once did, but it's an extremely important opportunity, or an opportunity, for the game to set sail.
LOL can carry the dream of setting sail from domestic domination to the world!
Games like Q Journey to the West, probably at most in East Asia, near Southeast Asia, can be popular, to Europe and the United States, because of aesthetics, cultural differences and other issues may not be recognized at all.
Similarly, Legend, or any other game, Yang Fan is confident to dominate the domestic market, but when it comes to Europe and the United States, he has no confidence at all. After all, the habits of players there are completely different from those of China, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, and the culture is very different!
Speaking of MMORPG, role-playing online games are basically subject to this restriction. Since it's a role-playing, you naturally need a sense of substitution!
Cultures are different, what is the sense of substitution......
Of all the MMORPG games, this is probably the best in World of Warcraft. But the situation of Sailing is completely different from Blizzard, whether you admit it or not. Even in the next year or five, Western culture occupies a strong position around the world, just like Hollywood blockbusters, which are common all over the world.
Similarly, Blizzard has established a great reputation in the gaming industry after stand-alone games such as Dark, Interstellar, Warcraft, etc., while Warcraft 1, 2. Series 3 also gives World of Warcraft a lot of potential audiences around the world, and Warcraft is indeed a classic online game among the classics.
All of this adds up to make Warcraft popular all over the world.
But in these respects, the set sail game is far worse than Blizzard......
The two of them talked about this back and forth, although they didn't know much about the game, Lin Yao still listened quietly on the side.
Looking at Zhu Hua's worries, Yang Fan said slowly, "I don't know if you have thought of it, compared with massively multiplayer online role-playing games, multiplayer online competitive games have an advantage. They don't have to think too much about cultural differences, they don't have to think too much about the differences in player habits, because the entertainment of these kinds of games is based on winning the game, and the desire to win is common all over the world. So. This kind of game may be popular all over the world, not like our Q Journey to the West, or the upcoming legend, which can only be popular in China or within a certain range! ”
Speaking of this, Yang Fan said, "Let's set sail for the game." We shouldn't just focus on China, we should position ourselves on world-class game companies! ”
World class!
This word immediately made Zhu Hua's blood boil, and after thinking about it carefully, similar games really have the potential to become popular around the world......
Thinking about it, Zhu Hua looked at Yang Fan solemnly, Yang Fan at this time had long since lost his usual laziness, and was replaced by a confident appearance, with a sharp edge!
To be honest, Zhu Hua's mood is very complicated now, and he has been staring at Qichao's game before...... Who would have thought that Yang Fan had just gained a foothold in China, and his eyes were already on the issue of going global!
Probably he didn't pay attention to Qichao from the beginning!
For no reason, Zhu Hua remembered a sentence at this time, how far you can see determines how far you can go!
Yang Fan has come to this day, is it because of this?
Yang Fan didn't care too much about Zhu Hua's complicated mood and Lin Yao's shining eyes beside him, but continued, "If this kind of game wants to be popular, the threshold for getting started must be low!" It is also necessary to be tolerant of novices and bitter hands! ”
The so-called bitter hands, the kind of people who are not actually suitable for this kind of game, or in LOL terms, elementary school students......
"Similarly, the character setting should be down-to-earth and culturally tolerant......"
For example, in the past, there were heroes with Chinese characteristics such as blind monks and monkeys, as well as ninjas and samurai such as Kagawa and Shen and Yasuo, and samurai developed according to Japanese culture. Similarly, Lori Anne, cute Timo, beautiful knife girl, fox, full of personality Raven, etc., these characters will make some of the preferences very identified......
With Yang Fan's explanation, Zhu Hua couldn't help nodding, and couldn't help but call Zhou Bo, as well as a few game planners, and even notified Ye Qingwan, who was outside.
Let us set sail to the world!
World class!
That's the keyword......
Now the people who set sail for the game, under the guidance of Yang Fan, have already been extremely arrogant, and these words have completely scratched their itch. Therefore, the plan began to be made almost immediately.
"Considering our purpose, to maximize the influence of the Sailing game, then to make the audience of this game wider, then free operation is the inevitable choice......"
"Free?" Zhou Bo asked strangely.
In this regard, Yang Fan explained, "Okay, just like the prop system of Q Westward Journey, we can open up some heroes to buy, as well as some bonus props that do not affect the balance of the game's competition, as well as decorations similar to costumes......"
After roughly listening to Yang Fan's thoughts, it was very perfect, and a system had been formed, Zhou Bo couldn't help but ask, "Why does it sound like the system of this game is very perfect, you have been thinking about it for a long time?" ”
In fact, Zhu Hua also has this question, but he has always been more stable than Zhou Bo, and he didn't ask it.
Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders and did not answer.
Soon, a message came out of the game...... Little Boss has a new game plan!
This time is different from the previous ones, this time it is really going to create a classic. In fact, after Q Journey to the West, before the legend, all the employees at that time wanted to make a classic! Unfortunately, the legend is too simple and crude, and they dare not say that the legend will become a classic until the market is determined.
However, this time it is different, and it has been running for the classics from the beginning...... The goal is to be famous in the world!
That's right, it's a classic......
Maybe once in a year or five, even if LOL has the largest audience, the classic of MOBO games is still DOTA.
But when the time goes back to ninety-nine, the situation is completely different, LOL has become the pioneering work of MOBA games, well, AOS everyone can ignore it...... It is both a pioneering work and a market position, this kind of game is not a classic, who is?
