Chapter 419 (2/2)
”What if” watch the vanguard ”is completely free? It is possible that most VR game cabins at home and abroad will be equipped with ”watch the vanguard”. Even those players who did not play FPS games at all will be attracted to play two. As long as half of these people, no, one tenth of them will stay and become core players, it will be profitable for us. ”
They all looked at each other, but they stopped talking.
Indeed, Chen Mo's words are a bit shocking. If it is impossible for other designers to have such confidence, to make a high-quality VR game, and then completely free, only by selling skin for profit? What a big idea! Has the final say, backseat driver
but Chen Mo is different. He has a lot of money now, and all these money are his final words. He will spend whatever he wants to spend and how he will toss about.
People can only sigh one after another that being rich is willful!
But what Chen Mo said is also true, because there are few players in VR. If you buy out the threshold card again, the depth of the fish pond can't be guaranteed. This game will be very unfriendly to new players.
Obviously, Chen Mo has great ambition for the performance of ”watch the vanguard” on the VR side. He wants to make this game the game with the largest number of players on the VR side, and also make this game the first VR side boutique game with zero threshold.
In the end, everyone accepted Chen Mo's appalling practice and decided to make a completely free VR game and use it to compete for the best game of the year award.
after all, he is the boss. He has the final say.
……
In November, when Chen Mo was preparing to make watch the vanguard, an episode happened in the game circle.The first person perspective MoBa game ”battle of the soul” developed by a small company went online quietly and disappeared quietly.
This game is a PC end game. The design idea is very simple. It is to take advantage of the MoBa game trend brought by hero League, change the third person God perspective to the first person perspective, and explore another possibility.
But it turned out to be a no surprise failure. Even many players haven't even heard of the game.
In fact, at the beginning of hero League, many designers have considered this question: can MoBa game be changed to the first person perspective?
Many designers gave up after carefully evaluating the changes, which is the main reason why the big companies, such as emperor Dynasty mutual entertainment and Zen mutual entertainment, didn't do the ”first person MoBa”.
The little company that made ”the war of the soul” obviously wanted to try it with a fluke, but it undoubtedly failed.
Because a very important factor of MoBa game is that players should have a very clear vision of the whole war situation. They must be very clear about where my teammates are, what they are doing, and the position of the enemy heroes, so as to make a correct judgment.
Changing the perspective of the third person God to that of the first person directly results in the players' severely limited vision and misjudgment of the situation of the war.
Moreover, it is difficult to judge the actual range of skill filter from the perspective of the first person when releasing range skill. Some full figure skills are very difficult to do. Players often have deviation in judging the sense of distance.
All these problems have seriously damaged the core fun of MoBa game. In addition, the production level of this game is very general, so it will cool without any water.
And this game also strengthens the mainstream cognition of the game industry, that is, MoBa games can't do the first person, let alone VR games.
