Chapter 690: Welcome to Los Santo
The development of GTA was much smoother.
After Yang Chen released the promotional video of "GTA" on the official blog, Apex also announced their new game two days later.
Vice City
The main plot content is not much revealed like GTA, and the only information that is revealed is that Vice City is also a crime-themed game.
When this information was revealed, the players didn't have much to do.
The media are already excited.
Thinking of the previous "Battlefield" and "Star Wars", this is the meaning of not admitting defeat!
In Apex, Depp was not in such a good mood when he watched the debates in various media on the Internet.
Because in the previous Star Wars vs. Battlefield wars, he was a loser.
And this kind of hot propaganda can be said to tear his wounds open, and by the way, sprinkle some salt on it, after all, in the mouths of various media and players, he is a loser.
But apart from such a method to create a higher heat in a short period of time, Depp doesn't have much of a way.
Previously, their promotional strategy was to promote open-world games with a modern urban theme, plus a crime theme to promote the traffic popularity.
But all of this was preempted by Nebula Games' "GTA".
If you continue to focus on the theme of modern cities and crime, you will already fall behind, and it will inevitably be discussed by players and various media.
As they often say, the best way to face fear is to face it with a smile.
It's definitely going to be talked about anyway, and it's better to take it into your own hands than to lose control.
Passive publicity, more will be mentioned how badly they were beaten by Nebula Games.
But if you take the initiative to promote this, although it will also be mentioned and failed.
But on a deeper level, it can have another meaning.
Apex, Northern Storm, unwilling to fail.
Join forces with Might & Magic in Sweden to create a massive open world to face off against Nebula Games.
Although the content is the same content, the meaning is completely different!
…………
At a time when "Vice City" has also begun to carry out hot publicity,.
In Nebula Games, Yang Chen is working with Wang Ye and his team on the development of "GTA".
However, it is not the content of a single-player story, but the content development of a multiplayer mode.
The story mode of the entire game has been developed, and it will be able to go live after internal testing and some subsequent bug fixes.
The single-player plot of "GTA" can be said to be quite excellent and exciting, under the carving of the name R star in the dream memory.
In particular, the portrayal of various characters in the game is even more memorable, especially the details in the game, which are full of irony of the politics of various countries in reality.
Not only other countries, but also their own countries, are ironically more and more ruthless in the game.
Of course, this is hidden in the plot of the game, as well as the content under the details.
What really keeps players hooked and addicted to the glittering metropolis called Los Santos is not all kinds of irony, nor is it just a single-player plot.
Truly feel like you're part of a Los Santos community, robbing a bank for a big ticket, or competing with friends, drag racing, and triathlons.
Buy apartments, luxury villas, create your own company, build bunkers to sell arms, open bars and casinos, and live in villas in the sky.
The endless multiplayer mode content allows players to make a lot of money in the game from the most ordinary character, with a real and fantasy Los Santos world, which is what makes players addicted to it.
There are a variety of ways to play, as well as related errands, as well as robbery.
However, putting aside the premise of pig teammates, except for the mode of confrontation content such as drag racing, its errands and robbery missions will not have a different experience like "League of Legends" or "Monster Hunter".
It can be said that "GTA" is half a brush-and-brush game, and all have only one purpose, which is to make money.
And after making money, whether it is to buy an apartment, or to buy better weapons, to open a company, to sell arms, to create a gang, and to pull goods, these goals are still one goal, that is, to make more money.
In GTA, money is the main thing.
This is the core of GTA's main gameplay.
But there are also some problems, that is, in all the content, around the money in the game, which makes the player pay attention to it in a different way.
Whatever rewards are high, players will play more modes.
For example, an ordinary drag racing event, with a Pacific Bank robbery, in addition to the big guy who is not bad for money, or the ordinary newcomer who doesn't know anything and has just entered the game, most players will choose the Pacific Bank robbery mission with higher returns, rather than drag racing errands, the most critical reason is that the task of robbing the Pacific Bank has a much higher dividend than ordinary leisure and entertainment events.
There is an imbalance between time and revenue, which leads to many modes, except for players playing at the beginning of the game, most of the cases belong to the kind of widgets.
Of course, in order to avoid this, there will also be a situation similar to the double reward of a certain mode.
And the fundamental reason for this, that is, to maintain the price in the game, simply put, it is a single means for players to make money, they can only choose robbery missions, and if they want to experience more fun in a short time, and they can also make money, then krypton gold to buy shark cards is the best means.
Especially if you want to make money quickly in the game, it is simply rare for lone wolf players, and lone wolf tasks that can make more money basically need to be invested first and then produced.
But before the input-output, the bulk of the revenue comes from multiplayer tasks.
This kind of semi-forced socialization is basically a kind of player selection for games.
First of all, there is a social circle, and there will be the psychology of comparing and showing off, which will drive krypton.
In addition, there is also a sticky cultivation for players, as well as subsequent developable leeks cutting.
At the same time, because the game itself is a pay-to-pay game, even if this part of the lone wolf players are dissuaded, this will not have much impact on the overall income, because if the players who are dissuaded only because of these points, they will basically not go to the multiplayer mode to pay for kryptonite.
Of course, if the player has enough liver, he can also accumulate the same amount of kryptonite gold, and slowly accumulate to buy all the facilities, mansions, luxury cars, and unlock content.
But along the way, regardless of the BUG brushing circle, or some technological means, the player's game experience is bound to be the same as the daily work punch card game experience, and this will be a long accumulation.
The development of the game is the mode, and with the lifelike Los Santos, it can be said to be very good.
However, in terms of the source of income of the online mode and the robbery mode, Yang Chen and his team will make some numerical adjustments, and this part will be the main income, which is beyond doubt.
But in addition, the rest of the errands will not be so low.
In addition to reducing the requirements of the mission, players can also choose to become a lone ranger and slowly save money when carrying out the mission, and play the multiplayer mode into a single-player mode, giving players who prefer to play alone a choice.
Yang Chen understands very well that the lone player group can be said to be a considerable part of the group, and this part is not only able to be a lone ranger, but they do not want to contact the circle of other players.
For these people in the game, they will have their own way of playing.
After all, the game is always for players to play, and there is nothing to say that the Lone Ranger does not deserve to have the game experience, and the Lone Ranger is destined to enjoy as much content as others in the game, even if it is a multiplayer game.
Just like League of Legends, some players just don't like to play ranked, matchmaking, or even Smash Bros.
I like to play with the man-machine by myself, or open a small room and play a custom computer by myself.
Yang Chen was in the office, watching the development of the "GTA" network mode.
As a buyout game, Yang Chen didn't want to add too many inducing krypton methods to "GTA".
For example, in the robbery mode that really makes money, players must be forced to form a team socially, so that the Lone Ranger can either passively accept the team, or choose to buy cards with krypton.
"Mr. Yang, don't you wait for the multiplayer mode of "GTA" to be completed before it is launched?" Inside the Nebula Game, Wang Ye said to Yang Chen.
"No, the single-player story of GTA itself is enough for players to experience, and it happened to be launched just before Apex Games' Vice City." Yang Chen said with a smile.
The previous "Battlefield" was paid by UEgame, so it was naturally a fight with Epex Games.
But "GTA" is purely a project of Nebula Games, and for Yang Chen, it is completely unnecessary to fight to the death with Apex Games.
Even if you have full confidence in GTA, if it is actually launched at the same time as Vice City, it will definitely have some impact on GTA.
…………
The anticipation of players around the world, as well as the eyes of the media who are discussing GTA and Vice City.
On the same day, Yang Chen sent the latest news to the official blog of Nebula Games at the same time.
Just a short sentence.
'Welcome to Los Santos'
