Studio of Nebula Games

Yang Chen was discussing with Wang Ye some easter eggs in "Watch Dogs".

"This place is a little more hidden, and we do need players to be able to spot it directly, but we don't mean that it should be put on the bright side."

"Add a covert hint quest."

It's not like in "The Last of Us", Joel and they came to the toy store, and through the toy store, they saw some of the figures and games produced by Nebula Games.

In "Watch Dogs", there will be some special easter egg content.

For example, the crossover with the modern story of Assassin's Creed.

The player takes on the role of Aiden Pierce, who initially seeks revenge, but along the way, unexpectedly discovers clues about the Assassins and the Templars.

Generally speaking, the easter eggs in the game are basically divided into two different attributes.

One of the most common is a hidden easter egg.

It's usually left behind by a member of the game development team, for example, somewhere in the game, with a monogram placed with a stone.

Or some other content information, and these easter eggs are hidden, and they don't want players to find out in the first place.

And these easter eggs, usually if you don't take the initiative to look for them, then it is likely that players will not find these contents after clearing the game two or three times.

The other kind is those easter eggs in the game, which can be regarded as the real content addition of the game itself, and belongs to the kind of easter eggs that make players smile.

These Easter eggs also have a distinctive feature, that is, they are very easy for players to spot, and even these Easter eggs will have a route guide that players cannot detect.

For example, a special quest takes the player to a place near the Easter egg, and there are clues around it that allude to the location of the Easter egg.

This is consciously for the player to discover.

In addition to the easter egg content, it is worth saying that in order to make players feel more cool, the game's action drama will be greatly improved.

Parkour, climbing, moving, shooting, hand-to-hand combat are all quite complex restorations in Watch Dogs, and when battles occur in the game, players can also carry out the most suitable stealth according to the cover and enemies in their location.

This is also related to the gameplay of "Watch Dogs".

Unlike GTA, which tends to be a fantasy style, due to the plot and game style, the gameplay content of "Watch Dogs" is more realistic.

So unlike GTA, where no matter what kind of mission you have, as long as you don't have to force it, picking up a gun is a sudden attack, and in Watch Dogs, there are some levels that require players to sneak.

Of course, this is not a mandatory requirement, but a bias towards free combat, just like the original mode of "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain".

Players can choose to stealth and kill the least number of people to complete the mission, and they can also choose extremely violent means to be reckless.

But the latter is a little more difficult.

Compared with the traditional stealth gameplay, in fact, with the development and progress of the game, as well as the change of players' attitudes towards the game, this mode of free combat occupies a higher proportion, and in the future, Yang Chen believes that such a gameplay mode will also be more popular with players.

Leave it up to the player to decide exactly how to complete the game.

The development progress of "Watch Dogs" is very smooth, and at the same time, in the expectations of players, Yang Chen and the official blog of Nebula Games have also released a time for the official launch of the game according to the current development progress.

After all, this is also Nebula Games' first open-world 3A masterpiece on the VR platform, and it is still necessary to warm up and promote it in the early stage.

However, to the surprise of many players, NetDragon has also released the launch time of their new work "Wasteland".

Developed by NetDragon, Phoenix Games and Tenghua Games technical support, this meta element game: "Wasteland".

It was launched two weeks earlier than Nebula Games' Watch Dogs.

As soon as this time came out, many domestic and foreign game manufacturers, but they were rare and silent, especially UEgame and Apex, who were also actively promoting their own meta games not long ago, were playing dead at this moment, and there was no movement at all, including propaganda or something, just posting some original pictures and background content on the official blog, to maintain the heat.

I want to see how NetDragon's "Wasteland" performs, and if the response is good, it will naturally step up the launch, and take advantage of the fact that the popularity of meta elements has not yet passed, and fight a beautiful battle.

As for the heat, it is naturally two choices, the first option is to directly cancel the project and stop the loss in time, the second option is to reduce the follow-up budget, and then go online to return a wave of blood.

Ma Lei doesn't know what the situation is like in the outside world, but in the NetDragon conference room, Ma Lei is quite happy.

Because according to the feedback from internal testing, the quality of the game "Wasteland" can be said to be quite good.

And what surprised Ma Lei was that after they announced the release time of "Wasteland", Nebula Games also released the launch time of "Watch Dogs", and this point in time was two weeks after the launch of "Wasteland".

Let's not talk about the rest!

At least this online time has finally won once!

Looking at NetDragon's internal evaluation of "Wasteland", as well as the time when Nebula Games announced the launch of "Watch Dogs", Ma Lei had a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

Finally! It's time to get a head start!

In the past, NetDragon's three major sniping attacks on Nebula Games were lagging behind each other, which led to the preemptive strike of Nebula Games' games, but the quality was really good, causing them to fail several times.

And if they can seize the opportunity, Ma Lei feels that they can still fight a dozen.

After all, it's so important to be the first to get ahead.

Just like playing "League of Legends", even if you have a slight disadvantage in equipment and heads, as long as you can play a beautiful start, you can still win team battles.

And now, they have finally seized the advantage of being a first-mover!

This made Ma Lei very excited!

This is another phase victory!

The "Super Hero" that cooperated with Epex before has made a significant progress, evolving from being killed by the tower to being able to eat tower knives and experience, but unfortunately later Epex was instigated and didn't mess with them.

But now they have another advantage and have taken the lead!

Everything is going in a good direction.
