Chapter 1 Bounced Tickets
"The long-awaited future Oasis MMORPG game "Three Kingdoms" has jumped for the second time, and the expected launch time is unknown."
"What exactly is the problem with "Three Kingdoms"? According to sources, "Three Kingdoms" may face a redo. ”
"In the future, Oasis will have a bad start to test the waters of large-scale online games, and I will take you back to the ill-fated development process of "Three Kingdoms".
On Children's Day, a piece of news once again detonated the game circle, and the new work "Three Kingdoms" of the future Oasis, which was originally scheduled to enter the testing stage this fall, announced an indefinite jump in tickets, and the specific launch time is unknown.
Since the end of last year, Future Oasis revealed the news about "Three Kingdoms", this game has become a hot topic in the gaming circle, once occupied the headlines of major game media, and various surveys show that "Three Kingdoms" also occupies the top spot of the most anticipated game by players.
After all, it is a rare MMORPG game now, or an Oasis in the future, although the MMORPG market has declined a little, but the topic is still very strong.
At that time, along with the news related to "Three Kingdoms", there were also some introductions to the game in the future Oasis, actual videos and some screenshots.
The birth of the project "Three Kingdoms" was unexpected by players and the media. At this time period, it takes a lot of courage for Future Oasis to launch an MMORPG project.
Everyone agrees that the era of MMORPGs is over.
After more than 20 years of development, in the field of MMORPG, many excellent game developers have almost reached the peak of games in this field. It's hard for anyone to be able to revolutionize the MMORPG space.
Aside from those MMORPGs with page gameplay, today's large-scale 3D MMORPGs still can't get rid of the shadow of those masterpieces. World of Warcraft stands like a mountain, and people unconsciously compare the new game to World of Warcraft.
Many people believe that under the existing hardware limitations, it is difficult for MMORPG to have any innovation in gameplay, and the second spring of MMORPG is likely to wait for the revolutionary progress of the game carrier before it can re-emerge.
It is a very courageous attempt to launch an MMORPG project in Oasis in the future. From the very beginning of the project's disclosure, people were looking forward to the content of the game, looking forward to what new things Oasis would come up with in the future, and looking forward to the game's market performance.
And the theme of the Three Kingdoms chosen for this game is also a very eye-catching theme.
The history of the Three Kingdoms, with the blessing of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", has been endowed with a lot of legends. The Han family will be tilted, the world is divided into three, how many ministers will appear in this era, leaving countless legends that make people sigh.
However, in the game industry, the best way to make games using the history of the Three Kingdoms as a theme is not the domestic game company, but the glory of Japan.
Therefore, this "Three Kingdoms" of Oasis in the future has high expectations, and at the same time, there is a lot of pressure.
People are not worried about the production level of Future Oasis, and after "Lost Secrets" and "Shadow Secrets", Future Oasis has demonstrated their powerful ability to produce large-scale 3D games.
Whether it is the performance of the picture, or the optimization of the game, the domestic game company is simply difficult to match, the domestic supergiant Penguin for the future oasis coveting is already a well-known thing, countless times to seek to acquire shares, but again to no avail.
What people are worried about is that the future Oasis "Three Kingdoms", under the framework of the MMORPG game, what is the final gameplay, and the disclosed videos and pictures can see that the graphics of this game are extremely amazing, but the inner things are not shown.
The project's test was scheduled to enter the beta phase this spring, but before the Chinese New Year, Future Oasis announced that the production of "Three Kingdoms" was not progressing as expected, and the beta was postponed to the autumn of this year.
When this news was released, it had already made many people feel uneasy, thinking that the project of "Three Kingdoms" might not go very well. Many players have also expressed their expectations for the project and concerns about its progress online.
Eventually, this concern became a reality, and four months later, Future Oasis once again announced the news of the "Three Kingdoms" ticket jump, this time there was no specific launch time, and the project was indefinitely jumped.
As a result, the entire gaming world became extremely noisy on this day.
The well-known game media "Game New Horizons" released a related program three days later, introducing the causes and consequences of the "Three Kingdoms" project and the current situation of the future oasis.
"The Three Kingdoms project was originally produced by Oasis Studios, and they created a new team in addition to the Shadow Secrets team. The original "Three Kingdoms" was not a large-scale MMORPG game, and in the original design of Future Oasis, "Three Kingdoms" was a sandbox ARPG game with strategy game elements. ”
"Later, the design of the first version of "Three Kingdoms" was abandoned, and the producer of this game, that is, Su Li, the founder of the future oasis, was not satisfied with the design content of the first version, and the entire game was redesigned.
"After the first version of the design was rejected, Future Oasis did not abandon the project, they re-staffed and reworked the project. The project "Three Kingdoms" has been re-established, and it has been decided that the genre of the game is an MMORPG game. ”
"It's an adventure, and Future Oasis has no previous experience in making MMORPGs. After the re-establishment of the project, the original "Three Kingdoms" project team was separated from Oasis Studio and a new studio, Three Kingdoms Studio, was established. ”
"As the name suggests, Three Kingdoms Studio is a studio established separately for this game, and Su Li, the founder of Future Oasis, personally serves as the head of the studio, which shows that Future Oasis has made a huge bet on this project."
"Future Oasis has put a lot of effort into the project of "Three Kingdoms", but the "Three Kingdoms" after the re-establishment of the project has not been smooth sailing. The overall development process of Three Kingdoms was very bumpy, and although the future Oasis maintained their usual high efficiency as a producer, the design of the game content has undergone several changes. ”
"Anonymous sources revealed that during the development of "Three Kingdoms", the game system has undergone several redos, and the delay in finalizing the core gameplay of the game is the main reason for the "Three Kingdoms" to skip tickets.
"The official release said that the "Three Kingdoms" bounced because the team was in the spirit of excellence and hoped to polish a real boutique to give back to players. But according to some grapevine, the bounce of "Three Kingdoms" may have been designed into some conflict within the development team. ”
On the other hand, the new DLC for Future Oasis's Shadow Story, Beneath of the Deep, has been a huge success. Oasis Studios has once again demonstrated its prowess with a bold new DLC that has been well received by players and has reached new sales levels with new maps and storytelling. ”
"The results of "Shadow Secrets" are in stark contrast to the struggles of "Three Kingdoms", and at this time, there are also some voices on the Internet, questioning Su Li's ability in game design and production......"
