As for the performance of "Borderlands" in terms of story, it is actually much worse than the performance of games like "Red Dead Redemption".

For most players, it's hard to experience that level of immersion from a game.

On the one hand, this is related to the script of the game itself, aside from the charismatic villain Handsome Jack, and the small noise that made the player feel noisy at first, but later liked it through some stories.

The game plot itself is basically a very orthodox one, and with the unique game experience, as well as the American comic-style picture style, it is much worse in terms of giving players a sense of immersion experience.

If "Borderlands" is a realistic style game, with the creation of a villain like Handsome Jack, it can actually attract a large number of players in terms of story.

But in the absurd and crazy style of American comics, it is difficult to bring players any immersion.

It's because of the nature of the game itself.

Because games such as "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", "Red Dead Redemption" and "GTA", first of all, they are all about bringing players a story, because this story shapes a game world, shapes a world view, and these are all for the story, including the player's game experience.

For games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, multiplayer mode aside, the single-player mode can actually focus entirely on bringing players an immersive experience in the story.

But games like Borderlands are obviously not going to do it, because the focus of the game is not on the story immersion, but on the thrill of equipment driven.

No game is flawless, and Borderlands has its flaws.

But for Grayson, it is clear that he doesn't care.

Because this thing is a big golden egg!

"There's a lot to be done in the future! Including content on planets such as Athena and Promethea. ”

In the conference room of Nebula Games, Grayson said to Yang Chen very excitedly.

From the perspective of profitability, there is actually a big difference between "Borderlands" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which can continue to operate.

But Borderlands is also a gold mine!

In addition to the story of Pandora, there are also several planets such as Promethea and Athena waiting for Vault Hunters.

What does this mean?

DLC!

What does DLC mean?

Dollars, banknotes!

If it is said to make games, Grayson has to admit that compared to Nebula Games, it is their UEgame that loses.

DLC can be made on top of existing games, which Grayson thinks is not bad at all for their UEgame.

UEgame has a lot of failed projects, but there are also quite a few successful ones.

And these successful projects are almost huge DLC hells, and these DLC hells do not affect the balance of the game at all, and even make the game itself lose its elements, which is where their UEgame is great.

The only thing that makes people have some criticism is their UEgame castration method.

A complete piece of content, split into two copies to sell, this kind of operation is still very sparse and ordinary for UEgame.

"If you don't think about the sequel, it's supposed to be the best time for Borderlands." Looking at Grayson, who was very excited, Yang Chen next to him was not very excited.

He could see it quite clearly.

The current performance of "Borderlands" is excellent, but in fact, in Yang Chen's opinion, it has reached the peak of popularity.

This is also a common problem of brushing games.

In the absence of a sequel, even if DLC content continues to be launched in the future, it can present players with more and more interesting content.

But it will all show a situation of player churn.

Because a large number of players are not actually fans of brushing, but more of the popularity in the early stage of the game attracted them, and they belong to following the trend to buy and experience a wave of this type of game.

This is a normal phenomenon, and it is common in almost every game, including free-to-play games like League of Legends, and it is also the case, if not more.

A high number of people online also means more dormant accounts.

"That's also a mainstay project, Yang, don't you really think about a sequel? Divide into...... Well, when I didn't say. Grayson looked at Yang Chen, said halfway and waved his hand.

There is no doubt that although the results of "Borderlands" are not as explosive as "PUBG", it is definitely a first-line IP game.

If there is a sequel, it will be able to sell again with its own success.

For ordinary game manufacturers, it belongs to the kind of game that can eat for ten or twenty years, but then Grayson thought about what kind of existence the Nebula game that made this game is.

A sequel?

No, it's Borderlands, and it's not BioChemical.

With the exception of the Resident Evil series, the sequels to other games are still lifetime series.

"Well, I don't need to say more politely, I don't think this time it's a special trip to celebrate the success of Borderlands." Yang Chen looked at Grayson and said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Grayson nodded noncommittally: "You should have also received some news, right?" ”

"The new VR device specifications, keep up with the price." Without waiting for Grayson to finish speaking, Yang Chen smiled and said.

VR technology, this is the direction that major manufacturers have been working towards, of course, the game industry is only a small part of it, this is definitely a large industrial chain.

Including film and television entertainment, it is actually half a success, and the reason why it is said to be half is because high-quality VR equipment has been able to bring a very silky and smooth experience, which is not difficult in terms of technology, but the price is a very embarrassing point.

Ordinary products are not good enough, and good results are too expensive for most ordinary people.

But now it is clear that it is ushering in an era of alternating between the old and the new, and major manufacturers have successively launched new VR equipment and corresponding platform machines, with a better experience and lower prices.

"Apex Games, as well as NetDragon's three major games, have not made any recent moves, and they are probably staring at this aspect." Grayson said with a smile.

"No powerful game manufacturer will ignore a new platform." Yang Chen was not too surprised, he had already known about these news.

After all, Nebula Games is not a small factory, in fact, major VR manufacturers at home and abroad have already provided corresponding prototypes to Nebula Games, including manufacturers who even want to talk about customizing exclusive games in private.

Unlike the VR that had just been enlightened in his dream memory, the VR equipment in reality has obviously ushered in a new development.

"This is a brand-new platform, UEgame and Nebula Games can cooperate more closely, and the three major aspects of Apex Games and NetDragon will not sit still, maybe the next game war should start on the new platform." Grayson was serious.

This is both an opportunity and a crisis.

The emergence of new technologies may mean a more stable position, or it may mean a heavy blow.

However, Grayson also has full confidence, although the current UEgame looks like he has lost his teeth from being beaten, he relies on holding his thigh with one hand.

But they have a background, they are not crooked, and the development technology of VR games has always been at the level of the first line.

Even if it's Nebula Games, its VR development team, hasn't it been dug from their UEgame?
