Sun Bing paused and continued: "Actually, regarding "Gunfire", strictly speaking, the qualifying match is indeed one of the reasons for its failure, and "Overwatch" has never opened the qualifying match should also be due to this consideration. With {Dream} Small◢.1a However, the root is not in qualifying, but in the game capacity, which is already a consensus within our project. ”

"Due to the limited capacity, Overwatch's non-qualifying only lengthens the game's lifespan, and it cannot continue to develop until it unifies the entire domestic FPS circle. Although the gameplay of "Wolf Soul" and "Fire Assault" is older, it is clear that they have a longer lifespan than "Overwatch". ”

"From this point of view, I don't think our new project can go the same way as Overwatch, FPS games with skills won't work, and FPS games with qualifying mode are not particularly reliable."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly in agreement.

There were indeed a large number of games that imitated Overwatch before, and the results were almost cold without exception, and even affected the entire FPS field, and it was sluggish.

Now, if there are any designers who plan to copy "Overwatch", they will be laughed to death.

Sun Bing continued: "If we want to do a new project, the most critical question is, what is the core competitiveness of this new project compared to the three major FPS games currently on the market? I think that's the main thing we need to think about today. ”

"Judging from the FPS game masterpieces of major European and American manufacturers, they are basically moving towards more realistic and grander content. More complex guns, accessories, more epic plots, more battlefield vehicles, and more......"

"But all of this requires a lot of investment and a lot of professionals."

Sun Bing finished speaking.

He just stated the current situation of the domestic and foreign FPS game market, but the meaning is actually quite clear. Whether this project is done or not depends on whether or not you can make a new way to play.

How to make a new way to play? If we look at the experience of large European and American manufacturers, it is to increase investment and make a more ambitious scene.

Lin Zhaoxu's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously not agreeing with Sun Bing's thinking.

Lin Zhaoxu said: "This is also a way of thinking. However, the problem is not only in terms of money, but also in terms of heritage and accumulation, although "Wolf Soul" has also dabbled in some big war scenes, but after all, there is a gap with major European and American manufacturers. And even if we make it, we have to consider the tastes of domestic players, and we can't always buy it if domestic players don't buy it, let's go to the overseas market, right? And even in the overseas market, it can't beat those European and American manufacturers. ”

He looked at Qin Xiao: "What do you think?" ”

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and spread out the information in front of him: "To be honest, I don't particularly want to do new FPS projects, and the reason is very simple, there are no particularly revolutionary technological advances for the time being. ”

"It's true that Pangu Engine is a cross-generational physics engine, but in FPS games, it may not be as prominent. It is nothing more than to make the force of the shot more realistic, and the effect of the shot is more realistic. ”

"These feelings are not so prominent for the player. That's why Chen Mo went to do cold weapon battles, because the feeling of cold weapon battles might be more intuitive. ”

"On the other hand, there is no revolutionary gameplay in the current FPS game mode, it is nothing more than the mode of unpacking, brainless bursts, special gun battles, and zombie fighting. Although the cart and point capture gameplay of "Overwatch" seems relatively fresh, it is only interesting to match the hero characteristics of "Overwatch", and it is definitely not much fun to forcibly take it out and put it in an ordinary FPS game. ”

Lin Zhaoxu groaned: "You mean, try not to do it?" ”

Qin Xiao said: "You can do it, but you have to take some risks. ”

Lin Zhaoxu smiled: "It's okay to take risks, tell me what you think." ”

Qin Xiao thought about it for a moment and said seriously: "My idea is actually similar to Sun Bing's idea to a certain extent, which is to add more big scenes and modern weapons to a more traditional FPS like "Wolf Soul", such as more artillery fire, tanks and planes. ”

"Of course, there are risks in doing so, but our goal is not to compare with European and American manufacturers, our goal is mainly domestic. Just add a little bit of airplanes, tanks, and cannons, and it's better than "Fire Assault". ”

In addition, these modern weapons can actually better reflect the role of the Pangu engine. For example, cannonballs explode on the ground, leaving craters on the surface, causing shockwaves to bounce players away, and shell fragments causing damage to players, etc., can be used as gimmicks for the game. ”

Lin Zhaoxu thought for a moment: "Hmm...... Sounds good. In other words, it is just to make some improvements and optimizations to the current traditional game mode, add new content, and focus on the effect of the physics engine, rather than learning from European and American manufacturers. ”

Qin Xiao nodded: "Yes." It is not practical to learn from European and American manufacturers, on the one hand, our ability is not enough, and on the other hand, domestic players really don't necessarily eat that set. At least for now, the vast majority of players in "Wolf Soul" are just for the sake of sudden refreshment, and there is basically no plot demand for FPS games. ”

Lin Zhaoxu nodded, obviously he agreed with Qin Xiao's statement more.

Qin Xiao's plan is equivalent to a compromise, based on "Wolf Soul", adding a larger map, richer guns, vehicles and modern weapons, while still taking online battles as the main gameplay, as much as possible to adapt to the tastes of domestic players.

Although there is still a little bit of risk, it is obviously a gimmick and worth trying.

Lin Zhaoxu thought for a moment: "Okay, then let's tentatively decide on this plan." Qin Xiao, you will be personally responsible. ”

Qin Xiao nodded: "No problem." ”

Lin Zhaoxu knows very well that although Qin Xiao's plan has some risks, it is completely under control, even if this game cannot become popular, it should not be difficult to ensure profitability.

After all, they are mainly thinking about the domestic market, and their competitors are "Fire Assault" and "Overwatch".

Lin Zhaoxu looked at Jin Jieguang: "In addition, pay more attention to the trends of Zen Mutual Entertainment and Thunder Mutual Entertainment, they should also have received a notice from the Game Committee." Especially Chen Mo's side, pay more attention. ”

Jin Jieguang nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin!" ”

Qin Xiao said: "It's okay, don't worry too much. When it comes to funding and FPS, it's clear that we're the better side. What's more, Overwatch didn't have much success, which shows that innovation in the FPS field is actually very difficult. In the field of traditional FPS, we have the data of a large number of players of "Wolf Soul", and we have an absolute advantage in this regard. ”

Sun Bing also nodded and said: "Yes, I think Chen Mo's "Overwatch" is indeed an important attempt in the FPS field, but the results are not optimistic. He can't think of new innovations in the short term, right? ”
