Game Entertainment Empire

Thinking about his experience with "Resident Evil 2" just now, Yang Chen nodded lightly. There are not too many problems with the plot.

The main reason is that after the Raccoon City crisis, Umbrella declared bankruptcy, and then Leon was sent to a mysterious village in Europe to rescue the president's abducted daughter, resulting in a series of biochemical attacks.

And in the end, with the help of King Ada, he successfully solved the problem and escaped from birth.

But in the gameplay of the game, there have been different changes from before.

Lin Jiayi and the others sped up the rhythm and tension of the game, and did not follow the previous game where they had to worry about running out of ammunition at any time. Coupled with the existence of gymnastics and multiplayer mode, the fear of the entire game has dropped a lot. .

However, Yang Chen can also understand Lin Jiayi's approach. This is also a truth he only understood after experiencing "Escape". Horror games don't mean that the scarier the better.

How to take a degree in the middle is the most critical issue.

So, from the point of view of scaring, "Resident Evil" with handsome men and beautiful women as the protagonist, and as the tyrant brother who is chasing down halfway is not so hideous and terrifying, compared with "Escape" where mental illness is everywhere, there are more horror elements. to be less.

"However, we have not completely abandoned the horror elements in the game. In high-difficulty situations, very few ammunition, a darker environment, and monsters that are difficult to kill can all allow players to experience the thrill of the game." Feeling, at the same time, we will give players the right to choose independently when it comes to the options at the beginning of the game." Lin Jiayi smiled and said to Yang Chen.

"A very thoughtful idea." Yang Chen nodded slightly.

In fact, players are such a contradictory existence. For example, a mode in the game, or a single-player plot is very badly produced. Ninety percent of the players will not touch it, and the rest will play it. Half of the ten players will not pass the level.

But in this case, once you announce that you want to cancel these two modes, the players will strongly oppose it, even if you have actually made concessions on the price of the game.

To sum it up, I can stop playing, but you can't stop giving; just like wayward children, once you reject their request, they will cry and make you look good.

And once you satisfy their request, they will smile, praise you and stuff the money in your pocket into your pocket.

"Including "Biochemical Survival\

,"A new mode is being developed, and the stories about Chris, Jill and Wesker may be able to carry out some linkage, and a special press conference can be held for the game. "Yang Chen looked at Lin Jiayi and said.

"Put the publicity on "Resident Evil 2"? What about "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain"?" Lin Jia was taken aback when he heard Yang Chen's words. Obviously, he didn't expect Yang Chen to make such an arrangement before he came. Hearing this Sometimes I was a little dazed.

After all, in his opinion, "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes" has already been released and in the follow-up content, the plot of "Red Alert: World War" about THE BOSS, and the comics of "Metal Gear Solid: Peacemaker" before the timeline The release means that it is building momentum for "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain", and from some animation demonstrations after the clearance of "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes", it can also be seen that the development progress of the game is already considerable.

"Tenghua's "Resident Evil" is just a good look for them, and "Resident Evil 2" is still very important to Nebula games. "Resident Evil" can be said to be the most valuable IP of Nebula games today. As a matter of course, I should be treated better, but I still need to polish it better for "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain." Yang Chen thought for a while and explained in vague words.

After all, he can't say that my game has not been developed yet, and all the news released are all to stabilize the big pie drawn by the players.

As the big boss, doesn't he want to lose face?

I talked with Lin Jiayi about the situation in the industry and about the follow-up promotion of "Resident Evil 2".

After they left, Yang Chen focused on the "Red Alert: World War" project. Although the expansion pack was over, Yang Chen still insisted on the "Red Alert: World War" project. focus on.

Because this is related to the background shaping of a large series, following the overhead war background of "Red Alert: World War", several games in Yang Chen's plan are related to it.

"Introduce the settings of leaders and heroes, and let players experience a simple plot of THE BOSS through the team infiltration mode in "Company of Heroes." In the empty office, Yang Chen recalled some memories from his dreams. Memory, tapping the keyboard with both hands.

Regarding the upper limit of "Metal Gear Solid", it may not be until the end of next year, but the popularity during this period cannot be dissipated.

The plot story of THE BOSS and the story of "Metal Gear: Peace Walker" are all plans to maintain the popularity. Of course, this also includes some promotional trailers for the follow-up "Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain".

As for the later stories of THE BOSS, such as mentioned at the beginning of "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes", the series of stories in which BIG BOSS personally killed THE BOSS and then inherited the title of BOSS, Yang Chen is going to be a part of "Metal Gear Solid: Fantasy" at that time. Pain" DLC plot to produce.

"But the company still needs to expand, and the manpower is still not enough." Yang Chen stopped typing on the keyboard, took a sip of the soda water next to him, and shook his head, thinking.

The scale of Nebula Games today is actually quite large, including the distribution department, the newly established motion capture department, customer service, general positions, and the comic company. In addition to the company's internal project team, there are already two employees who have signed labor contracts. There are more than a hundred.

But there are not many subdivided into various project teams, although in 3A projects like "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain" and "Resident Evil 2", contract labor and outsourcing are indispensable.

However, such as the daily operation and new content development of "Survival Survival", as well as the development of small DLC plots such as "Red Alert: World War", it seems that there is a shortage of manpower, especially when each has a special project.

Scale up and add another office space, by the way?

Looking at the company's financial report and thinking about the crowded office space outside, Yang Chen thought to himself.
