âSun Bing paused for a moment before continuing.ââActually, strictly speaking, the ranking competition was indeed one of the reasons for gunfightâs failure. Itâs probably because of this that Overwatch didnât start a ranking competition.ââ However, the root of the problem is not the ranking competition, but the gameâs capacity. This is already a consensus within our project. ââ â
âââDue to the limited capacity, even if Overwatch doesnât have a ranking competition, it will only extend the lifespan of the game. It canât continue to develop until it dominates the entire domestic FPS scene. Although Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault are older, they obviously have a longer lifespan than Overwatch. ââ â
âââFrom this point of view, I donât think our new project should follow the path of Overwatch. An FPS game with skills wonât work, and an FPS game with a ranking mode wonât work either.ââ â
âQin Xiao lightly nodded his head, indicating his agreement. â
âPreviously, there were indeed a large number of games that mimicked Overwatch. In the end, all of them were pretty much done for. It even affected the entire FPS scene and caused them to be in low spirits. â
âIf there were still designers who wanted to copy Overwatch, they would be laughed at. â
âSun Bing continued,ââif weâre going to make a new project, the most crucial question is whatâs the core competitive point of this new project compared to the three major FPS games on the market? I think thatâs the main issue we need to consider today. ââ â
âââFrom the big FPS games from the Western manufacturers, theyâre basically moving towards a more realistic and grander content. More complicated firearms, accessories, more epic storylines, richer combat vehicles, and so on ...ââ â
âââBut all of these require a huge investment and a large number of professionals. â
Sun Bing was done.
âHe had only described the current situation of the domestic and foreign FPS games market, but his meaning was actually quite clear. The key to this project depended on whether they could come up with a new game method. ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow should he make a new game? Based on the experience of the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States, it was to increase the investment and make a bigger scene. â
Lin chaoxuâs fingers rapped lightly on the table as he furrowed his brows. It was clear that he did not agree with Sun Bingâs train of thought.
âLin chaoxu said,ââthatâs one way of thinking.ââ However, the problem was not only in terms of money, but also in the foundation and accumulation. Although Wolf Soul had also dabbled in some major war scenes, it was still far from being comparable to the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States. Even if we make it, we have to consider the taste of the local players. We canât go to the overseas market if the local players donât buy it, right? And even if itâs in the overseas market, it canât beat those European and American manufacturers. ââ â
âââWhat do you think?ââ he looked at Qin Xiao. â
âQin Xiao was silent for a moment before he spread out the documents in front of him,ââââTo be honest, I donât really want to do a new FPS project. The reason is simple. There hasnât been any revolutionary technological progress yet.ââ â
âââThe Pangu engine is indeed an epoch-making physical engine, but it might not be able to stand out in an FPS game. Itâs just to make the force of being shot more realistic, and the effect of being shot more realistic. ââ â
âââThe players donât really feel that much. Thatâs why Chen Zhao chose to fight with cold weapons. Itâs more intuitive to fight with cold weapons. ââ â
âââOn the other hand, there hasnât been any revolutionary new ways to play FPS games. There are still some other modes like âsafe and unboxingâ,âmindlessly attackingâ,âspecial firearmsâ, and âfighting zombiesâ. Although the cart and spot-occupying playstyle of âOverwatchâ looks rather new, itâs only interesting when itâs paired with the hero characteristics of âOverwatchâ. If itâs forcefully put into a normal FPS game, it wonât be that fun. ââ â
âââYou mean to try not to do it?ââ Lin chaoxu muttered. â
âââItâs possible, but thereâll be some risk involved,ââQin Xiao replied. â
âLin chaoxu smiled.ââThe risk is fine. Tell me your thoughts.ââ â
âQin Xiao considered for a moment before he replied in a serious tone,ââââMy thoughts are actually similar to Sun Bingâs to a certain extent, which is to add more Grand scenes and modern weapons into a more traditional FPS game like Wolf Soul, such as more artillery, tanks, and planes.ââ â
âââOf course, there are risks in doing so, but our goal isnât to compare with European and American manufacturers. Our main goal is still domestic. As long as you add a few planes, tanks, and cannons to make it better than fire assault, itâll be fine. ââ â
âââIn addition, these modern weapons can actually better reflect the role of Pangu engine. For example, if a shell explodes on the ground, it will leave a hole in the ground, and at the same time, the shock wave will send players flying, or the shell fragments will cause damage to players. All of these can be used as gimmicks of the game. ââ â
âLin chaoxu thought for a moment and said,ââhmm ... Sounds good.ââ In other words, theyâre only making improvements and updates to the current traditional game modes, adding new content, and at the same time focusing on the effects of physical appeal, not completely copying the Western manufacturers. ââ â
âQin Xiao nodded,ââyes.ââ Itâs not practical to learn from the big factories in Europe and America. On one hand, weâre not capable enough, and on the other hand, the Chinese players might not fall for it. At least for now, most of the players in Wolf souls only want to have fun with Tutu Tutu. Thereâs basically no need for a story in an FPS game. ââ â
âLin chaoxu nodded, clearly agreeing with Qin Xiaoâs statement. â
âQin Xiaoâs plan was equivalent to a compromise. With Wolf Soul as the foundation, he added a larger map, more abundant firearms, vehicles, and modern weapons. At the same time, he still mainly played online battles, trying to suit the taste of the domestic players as much as possible. â
âAlthough there was still a little risk, it was worth a try. â
âLin chaoxu thought for a moment and said,ââalright, this is the plan for now.ââ Qin Xiao, youâll be in charge of this. ââ â
âââNo problem.ââ Qin Xiao nodded. â
âLin chaoxu was clear that even though Qin Xiaoâs plan had some risks, it was completely within control. Even if the game didnât become popular, it shouldnât be hard to guarantee profits. â
âAfter all, they were mainly considering the domestic market, and their competitors were fire assault and Overwatch. â
âLin chaoxu looked at Jin jieguang and said,ââalso, pay more attention to ZEN Entertainment and Thunderbolt Entertainmentâs movements. They should have received the notice from the game Committee.ââ Especially Chen Mo, pay more attention to him. ââ â
âââDonât worry, Mr. Lin!ââJin jieguang nodded. â
âââItâs alright, thereâs no need to be too worried. ââQin Xiao replied. In terms of funding and Foundation in the field of FPS games, weâre clearly better. Furthermore, Overwatch wasnât very successful, which meant that it was difficult to innovate in the FPS field. In the field of traditional FPS games, we have the data of a large number of Wolf Soul players, so we have an absolute advantage in this aspect. ââ â
âââThatâs right,ââ Sun Bing nodded.ââI think Chen Moâs Overwatch is an important attempt in the FPS scene, but the results arenât looking good.ââ He wonât be able to come up with any new ideas in the short term, right?ââ â
