Chapter 638 The innovation of FPS?
Sun Bing paused and continued: "Actually, regarding "Gun Fire Chronicle", strictly speaking, the qualifying competition is indeed one of the reasons for its failure, and "Overwatch" has never opened the qualifying competition should be due to this consideration. "Sui {Dream} Xiao◢.1a However, the root cause is not the qualifying competition, but the game capacity, which is already a consensus within our project."
"Due to limited capacity, Overwatch's failure to qualify is only a longer game life, and it cannot continue to develop until the entire domestic fps circle is unified. Although Wolf Soul and Fire Assault are relatively old, their lifespan is obviously longer than Overwatch."
"From this point, I don't think our new project can go the path of Overwatch. FPS games with skills cannot be done, and FPS games with qualifying mode are not particularly reliable."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and agreed.
There were indeed a large number of games that imitated "Overwatch" before, but the results were almost gone without exception, and even affected the entire FPS field and were sluggish.
If there are still 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 issue is, compared with the three major FPS games on the market, what is the core competitiveness of this new project? I think this is the main issue we need to consider today."
"From the FPS game masterpieces of major European and American manufacturers, they are basically moving towards more realistic and grander aspects. More complex guns, accessories, more epic plots, richer battlefield vehicles, etc...."
"But these require 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 should be done depends on whether a new gameplay can be made.
How to make a new gameplay? If we look at the experience of major European and American manufacturers, it is to increase investment and create a larger scene.
Lin Zhaoxu tapped the table gently with his fingers and frowned slightly, obviously not agreeing with Sun Bing's ideas.
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 background and accumulation. Although "Wolf Soul" has also dabbled in some major war scenes, it is still far from European and American manufacturers. And even if we do it, we have to consider the tastes of domestic players. We cannot buy it. Let's go to the overseas market? And even if we go to the overseas market, we 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 the information in front of him: "To be honest, I don't really want to do a new FPS project. The reason is very simple. There is no particularly revolutionary technological progress for the time being."
"Pangu Engine is indeed a physics engine that crosses the ages, but in FPS games, it may not be able to perform so prominently. It's just that the force of the shot is more realistic and the effect of the shot is more realistic."
"These are not that outstanding for players. So Chen Mo went to fight cold weapons because the feeling of fighting cold weapons may be more intuitive."
"On the other hand, there is no revolutionary gameplay in the FPS game mode at present. It's just about installing a package and unpacking, brainless thrust, special gun battles, and zombies. Although the cart and point-taking gameplay in "Overwatch" look quite fresh, it's interesting to match the heroic characteristics of "Overwatch". If you force it out and put it in an ordinary FPS game, it will definitely not be much fun."
Lin Chaoxu pondered: "What do you mean, try not to do it?"
Qin Xiao said: "It is possible to do it, but you have to take some risks."
Lin Zhaoxu smiled: "It doesn't matter if the risk is, tell me what you think."
Qin Xiao thought about it and said seriously: "My thought is actually similar to Sun Bing's idea to some extent, which is to add more large scenes and modern weapons, such as more artillery fire, tanks and aircraft to a more traditional FPS like "Wolf Soul".
"Of course, it's risky to do this, but our goal is not to compare with European and American manufacturers. Our goal is mainly domestic. Just add some aircraft, tanks and cannons, which is better than "Fire Assault".
"In addition, these modern weapons can actually better reflect the role of Pangu engines. For example, shells explode on the ground, leaving pits on the surface, and at the same time cause shock waves to bounce players away, shell fragments cause damage to players, etc., which can all be used as gimmicks for the game."
Lin Zhaoxu thought for a moment: "Well... it sounds good. In other words, it is just to make some improvements and optimizations for the current traditional game mode, add new content, and focus on the effects of the physics engine, rather than learning from major European and American manufacturers in all aspects."
Qin Xiao nodded: "Yes. It is not practical to learn from major European and American companies. On the one hand, our abilities are not enough, and on the other hand, domestic players don't necessarily have that kind of game. At least most players in "Wolf Soul" are just for the sake of being happy, and there is basically no plot requirement 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", a larger map is added, more abundant guns, vehicles and modern weapons are added. At the same time, it still uses online battles as the main gameplay, adapting to the tastes of domestic players as much as possible.
Although there are still a little risk, it is obviously a gimmick and worth trying.
Lin Zhaoxu thought for a moment: "Okay, then let's make this plan temporary. Qin Xiao, come and take responsibility for it yourself."
Qin Xiao nodded: "No problem."
Lin Zhaoxu knew very well that although Qin Xiao’s plan had some risks, it was completely within the controllable range. Even if this game could not be popular, it should not be difficult to ensure profit.
After all, they are mainly considering the domestic market, with competitors such as "Fire Assault" and "Overwatch".
Lin Zhaoxu looked at Jin Jieguang: "In addition, pay more attention to the trends of Zen Interactive Entertainment and Thunder Interactive Entertainment. They should have also received a notice from the Travel Committee. Especially Chen Mo, pay more attention."
Jin Jieguang nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin!"
Qin Xiao said: "It doesn't matter, don't worry too much. When it comes to the foundation of the funding and the fps field, we are obviously better. What's more, "Overwatch" is not very successful, which means that innovation in the fps field is actually very difficult. In the traditional fps field, we have various data from a large number of players of "Wolf Soul", which has an absolute advantage in this regard."
