On November 3, when everyone thought that the channel war provoked by Chen Mo had come to an end and Chen Mo had won a big victory, a piece of news made waves again.

Imperial Dynasty Interactive Entertainment and Fantasy Game Platform announced that they will reach a strategic cooperation to share channel resources, and all games published on either of these two platforms will be automatically launched on the other platform, and they can also get recommended positions.

In addition, there are more than a dozen other small channels that have also joined the alliance of Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and Fantasy Game Platform.

In other words, Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and Fantasy Game Platform took the lead, integrated the resources of all small channels, and established a very large intermodal platform.

All games published on any of the above game platforms will be launched on the other game platforms at the same time, and it is possible to get a very powerful recommendation position: omnichannel recommendations.

If a game is lucky enough to receive that recommendation, it means that it will also get the recommended position on the homepage of all of the above game platforms, which is a terrifying recommendation.

Originally, the Thunder Game Platform was the third largest game platform in China, and the number of users in its hands was not completely crushed compared to the Imperial Dynasty Game Platform and the Fantasy Game Platform alone, but after these channel providers joined forces to establish a large intermodal platform, the resource comparison between the two sides suddenly opened.

Although Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and Fantasy Game Platform did not mention any words about "Thunder Game Platform", it is clear that this operation is a counterattack, and in the face of a disruptor with strong strength, these old channel providers also have to unite to protect their own interests.

Once again, the situation is confusing.

……

Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment Headquarters.

In Lin Zhaoxu's office, it is very rare for all three S-level designers to arrive.

Qiu Jiang and Yan Zhenyuan sat on the couch, while Qin Xiao sat on the single sofa on one side, his feet on the coffee table in front of him.

Lin Zhaoxu said: "You all know about omni-channel intermodal transportation. ”

Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Got it." ”

Qiu Jiang played with his nails a little bored: "It's so uproarious, how can you not know?" ”

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Well, I called you here this time just for this matter." I'll just say it bluntly, from now on, the matter of omni-channel intermodal transportation is going very well, Ding Xing gritted his teeth this time and sacrificed a lot of interests to promote this cooperation, but on the whole, it is a good thing for us and for the fantasy game platform. ”

"The key issue right now is that we need a key game that will show players and indie designers the power of this new platform."

Qin Xiao became interested: "New game? ”

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Yes, Ding Xing is also talking to Liu Yuanfeng in private, hoping that Zen Mutual Entertainment can also come up with a competitive boutique game." Of course, the same is true on our imperial side. ”

"This time, we will come out with 3~5 new games, and then compete internally, and the best two will get the strongest recommendation from all channels. That is to say, when the time comes, all gaming platforms except the Thunder gaming platform will see these two new games. ”

Qin Xiao, Qiu Jiang, and Yan Zhenyuan all listened carefully, obviously, this was also a very good opportunity for them.

Lin Zhaoxu continued: "The game we want to make this time must be a super hit, that is, to capture the largest number of players to the greatest extent. ”

Qin Xiao pondered for a moment: "What about the platform?" ”

Lin Zhaoxu said: "There is no limit to the platform, but in terms of game types, it must not be a simple game like chess and cards, and that kind of game is meaningless even if it pushes the number of players very high." ”

Akie thought for a moment, "Then it should be MMORPG, it's my forte." ”

Qin Xiao said: "That's not necessarily, FPS games have a lot of players in China. ”

Qiu Jiang glanced at him: "But FPS games generally don't do VR and PC double-ended, and MMORPG can do double-ended." ”

Qin Xiao: "......"

Lin Zhaoxu said: "The three platforms have their own advantages, the mobile platform has the most players and is the easiest to promote, the VR platform is easier to make high-quality works, and the PC platform is relatively compromised. ”

Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Yes, but at present, it seems that if you want to capture the largest number of user groups, it is still the world of MMORPG, especially if you can do VR and PC double-end, the advantage is too great." ”

Qin Xiao shook his head: "I don't think so. Three relatively successful RPGs in China, "Legend of Edgeworth", "Oracle of the Moon God" and "Three Kingdoms" have been tossed for so long, and no one has killed anyone, and you want a new MMORPG to completely kill these three games and unify the MMORPG market? I think it's very unlikely. ”

Lin Zhaoxu asked Qiujiang: "What do you think?" Is there still room for MMORPGs? ”

Qiu Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Judging from the current operation of "Oracle of the Luna", MMORPG still has a lot to offer. However, if you want to make a game that can take the entire MMORPG market, it needs to meet at least two conditions. ”

"First, it has been comprehensively improved in terms of technical level and artistic performance. Second, there are major innovations in the gameplay and world view structure. ”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to improve the technical level and art performance in an all-round way, so the only opportunity is in the gameplay and world view."

Qin Xiao interjected: "In other words, there is no drama, because MMORPG basically won't have any major gameplay innovations in the short term, and as for the world view, I haven't seen anything particularly powerful at the moment." ”

Qiu Jiang rolled his eyes at him.

Lin Zhaoxu said: "It's okay, don't worry. What will be the next game to dominate the domestic game market, no one can say. You can also think about it more and don't necessarily limit your thinking to MMORPGs. For example, two days ago, I found a good prototype of a game abroad. ”

Lin Zhaoxu said, pulling up a video from his laptop.

"What is this, isn't this Warcraft?"

Qin Xiao, Qiu Jiang, and Yan Zhenyuan were all a little surprised.

Lin Zhaoxu shook his head: "No, this is an RPG map in Warcraft, called COG, Battle of the Gods." ”

The three of them carefully watched the entire process of the video.

Lin Zhaoxu said: "According to internal sources, the author of this picture has decided to cooperate with GA to make COG an independent game that exists apart from Warcraft. ”

Qin Xiao frowned slightly: "GA? Would they look at such a simple picture? Moreover, is it a picture born out of "Warcraft"? ”

It's no wonder that Qin Xiao was puzzled.

GA is a very well-known game developer, the full name is GeniusArt, which can be ranked in the top three in the entire European and American regions, and can be said to be a veritable industry giant.

Judging from the video, COG is an RPG map completely attached to Warcraft, so the perspective is also a third-person God perspective.

Moreover, the game is not very rich, fighting back and forth on a single map, and the only thing that is commendable is that its hero and equipment system is more complex.

Such a simple map can win the favor of GA? It sounds very mysterious.
