Chapter 438: Debate and Discussion (2nd Update)

The first designer took the stage.

This is also an A-level designer of Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment, who also specializes in PC games, and obviously has no less research on "League of Legends".

"My opinion on competitive gaming is that competitive gaming will continue to evolve over the next three to five years and become one of the mainstream genres on PC. As for the VR side, I don't have much research, so I'll leave it to other designers. ”

"So let me talk about why competitive games will become the mainstream game genre on PC."

Everyone in the audience listened with relish.

Obviously, the designer prepared a lot of materials before the exchange meeting, and talked a lot about the development history and related analysis of esports games. From the development of the game in the early days of RTS games, to the emergence of game clubs, to the success of League of Legends now, everything is very different.

"The reason why I assert that competitive games will continue to evolve in the next three to five years is because competitive games on the PC side have huge advantages over other game genres, namely fragmented time, repeatable experience, clear goals, easy proliferation, and so on. And all of these attributes are very much in line with the habits of mainstream PC gamers today. ”

"The habits of mainstream PC gamers aren't going to change over the next few years, so I assume that competitive gaming is still a big deal on PC."

Soon, the first designer finished speaking.

The second designer took the stage and began to talk about the development status of competitive games in the VR field.

"When it comes to the development of competitive games in VR, to be honest, it's completely behind the PC side. Of course, the reasons for this are complex and multifaceted. ”

"At present, competitive games in VR games mainly refer to FPS games, but there are no large-scale events yet, mainly limited by two aspects, one is the number of players, and the other is ornamental."

"There are few players on the VR side, and the players in FPS games are not as good as those in RPGs. And in terms of spectacle, FPS games are so fast-changing that even with commentary, it is difficult for players to keep up with every wonderful shot on the battlefield. ”

"However, I am still optimistic about the e-sports ecosystem on the VR side, and it is clear that VR is a platform for comprehensive progress and innovation compared to the PC side, and there is no doubt that VR games are the development direction of future games. So, I'm more inclined to this: VR games can be competitive games, but we haven't found a suitable path yet. ”

After the second designer finished speaking, the third designer took the stage.

This designer is the designer of Zen Mutual Entertainment, and as soon as he took the stage, he put forward a different point of view.

"I have a different attitude towards the future of competitive games on the VR side. In my opinion, competitive games are just a temporary hit, and they will inevitably decline over time. ”

"The reason is simple, because games are different from traditional sports, games are changing so quickly, I have never heard of a game that can reign for more than three years. If the game is cold, then the e-sports system that has been built up so hard before will become a castle in the air, and it will only collapse with a bang......"

These designers have their own opinions, and they have their own opinions.

Some people feel that competitive gaming has a lot to offer and will have a good future in the future, while others believe that competitive gaming is just a flash in the pan and will soon decline as the game declines.

Of course, there are also people who refute this, arguing that after the decline of a competitive game, another competitive game will make up, and although the game will decline, the audience will convert, which means that the competitive game itself will only develop better and better.

Next, some people retorted, thinking that the idea that "the audience will convert" is untenable, most viewers only watch the games they play, and the premise of "the audience will convert" is that "players will convert", but every phenomenal game in the future is a competitive game, right?

……

The exchange meeting is like this, because it is a matter of inconclusive matters in the circle, so it is full of arguments and rebuttals, refutations and refutations, but this is also the meaning of the exchange meeting, through this kind of debate, the designers in the audience can have their own thinking and form their own understanding of this issue.

At the same time, in the process of continuous exchanges and debates, all the loopholes in some points of view are pointed out, which is more helpful for everyone to explore the ultimate truth.

Zhang Xiaokong looked at Chen Mo, who was sitting next to him, and found that he was still listening with relish.

In this exchange meeting, the organizer did not invite Chen Mo. In fact, Chen Mo is the designer of "League of Legends", no matter how you say this kind of topic, he should not be missing.

But the main problem is that the organizer of this exchange meeting is the designer of Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment, and Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and Chen Mo really don't deal with each other. The designer probably also took this layer into account, so he was embarrassed to speak.

Most of the designers invited are designers of Imperial Entertainment, and a small number are designers of Zen Entertainment, which can be clearly seen from this point.

Moreover, these designers also believe that before the emergence of "League of Legends", Chen Mo's concept was indeed completely ahead of its time; But after the appearance of "League of Legends", most designers can dig out its successful elements by carefully studying this game, and they don't necessarily know less than Chen Mo.

Of course, Chen Mo must still have some things at the bottom of the box, but even if he is invited to talk about them, will he talk about those things at the bottom of the box? Apparently impossible. Even if Chen Mo came, most of them would talk about things that everyone could see.

Therefore, Chen Mo was not on the list of speakers for this exchange meeting.

……

The discussion phase lasted two hours, with a twenty-minute break in between.

After the last designer spoke, the organizers took the stage again.

"Okay, so after the explanation of several designers, everyone should have their own opinions. Next, everyone can speak freely, it is still the old rule, anyone who wants to speak can come to the stage, but please control the time, ten minutes per person, please speak as short as possible. ”

After the organizer finished speaking, he stood aside.

Next, designers came to the stage one after another to express their opinions. Of course, the designers who can come to this award ceremony are at least a little famous in China, and they are also very restrained on this occasion, basically there will be no domination of the podium or nonsense, and they are all courteous to each other, so the order of the scene is not bad.

The organizers listened to the speeches of the new designers and glanced down at the stage.

"Huh?"

When his gaze swept over the corner of the back row, he actually saw Chen Mo, sitting with Zhang Xiaokong.

"Chen Mo?"

The organizer rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right.
