The reputation of "Resident Evil 4" has declined.

The current score of "Resident Evil 4" in the game starry sky is 7.6 points, and it is still declining.

As for "Resident Evil 3", which had the lowest score before, its score of the players' public comments was also 8.6 points.

"The rhythm of the three big shots is the same as before, and it just hit our weakness." In the conference room of Nebula Games, Yang Chen, Xu Yu, and the relevant persons in charge of UEgame and Jiasheng , discussing the specific situation in the video.

Players' reviews are somewhat polarized. Among them, players who belong to the plot party highly praised "Resident Evil 4", which appeared in the form of a group drama. Resident Evil, this work makes the shooting feel even better, and at the same time the game process and combat curves, including the levels, are greatly simplified.

Fast food players, as well as story-oriented players, all gave very high scores.

But amidst this praise, there is also a big wave of criticism that the game has become 'not scary'.

Zombie dogs, tyrants, lickers, these classic hideous monsters in "Resident Evil" still appear.

But also compared to the scarcity of ammunition resources in the first generation, the depressive style of the entire game has also been attenuated. More often than not, people don’t panic when they have guns, and there are many bullets and thunder.

In this situation, Yang Chen actually knows that pure horror is not feasible. On the one hand, players are more and more accepting of horror, on the other hand, the cost of the game is increasing, and horror themes have a narrow audience. , Deeply cultivating horror themes, the final situation may be word-of-mouth praise, while sales avalanche.

Because most players are afraid to play at all, or they like to watch others play.

At present, the volume of Xingyun games is not unaffordable, but sometimes it is not something that can be done casually without fear of losing money, and the subsequent impact must also be considered.

"Sales didn't actually affect much, and there was even a slight increase, but the players obviously couldn't ignore it." Speaking of this, Xu Yu also felt a big headache.

Of course, in fact, the root cause of this is still behind the scenes.

For most ordinary players, the performance of "Resident Evil 4" is actually good enough, but it is an instinct for anyone to pursue better things, such as the game Xijiayi.

I can not play, but I have to have.

In this case, ordinary players didn't think so much at first, but once the rhythm was brought up, such as questioning the horror of "Resident Evil 4", some old players who had played "Resident Evil" in the past turned to "Resident Evil 4". There is a feeling.

yes!

Why isn't "Resident Evil" scary?

Even though they were so scared that they bought the game and didn't even clear the level at all, I just want to be scary no matter what!

This is why "Resident Evil 4" was able to sell so many copies while players expressed that it was not scary.

Because everyone found that the quality of this game is very good, and it’s not really that scary, it’s completely playable, coupled with the IP effect of “Resident Evil” itself, even “Resident Evil 4” sells better than the previous ones. Even if the word-of-mouth influence broke out, it did not suddenly suffer from Waterloo like the previous "Castle in the Sky".

But this doesn't mean that you can pretend to be safe.

In the quiet conference room, there was a pause of about ten or twenty seconds, and Yang Chen suddenly made a sound.

"In terms of VR games, can UEgame provide some technical assistance? In the development of VR games, our Nebula Games still has some shortcomings, especially when it comes to games with design and action elements like "Resident Evil" superior."

Hearing Yang Chen's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses.

Grayson from UEgame looked surprised: "Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"

"Xingyun Games has always been a player-oriented game company. Since players say that "Resident Evil 4" is too scary, I think it is necessary for players to understand what real horror is, but I still have a The idea may require the consent of UEgame and Jiasheng." Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem. If Mr. Yang intends to develop a VR project, we can send a pair of technical teams. Of course, Mr. Yang will pay for the remuneration; and Mr. Yang, what do you think?" Gravin nodded. Still able to make a decision.

"It's not just VR games, but it also includes PCs, but I want more players to experience the beauty of the game and provide it to all users and players on our platform for free, and the first 10,000 players who pass the level can get a A shopping cart discount code, and players who do not preempt the top 10,000 can also get a discount code for individual use."

Yang Chen said with a smile on his face.

"There is no problem with Jiaqiang. In fact, we are also discussing the strategy of discount codes to attract players." Jiaqiang nodded.

Grevin on UEgame also nodded: "Of course there is no problem."

They had already discussed the matter of the discount code before, but now that Nebula Games suddenly stood up and said that it would develop a game that might be 3A level for free to attract players, they were naturally so happy.

But Xu Yu was thoughtful.

After the meeting was over, Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said, "Mr. Yang, do you want to get involved in VR?"

"Technology accumulation." Hearing Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen nodded slightly.

Previously, we cooperated with Warwick in China to launch the VR versions of "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Silent Hill". However, compared with UEgame and the other three that have been deeply involved in VR for a period of time, Nebula Games still has a lot of shortcomings. of.

On the one hand, Yang Chen hopes to launch a new work to pay back to the three small plots. On the other hand, the main thing is to steal the teacher, and it would be even better if he could knock a corner with a hoe from UEgame.

Xu Yu, who didn't expect that Yang Chen was already thinking about how to pry the wall, asked a little curiously: "But in the follow-up, more resources in our plan will be invested in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", and include "Resident Evil". There is basically no arrangement for the follow-up of ", right?"

"In fact, there are still many differences with the previous "Resident Evil". If I have to give an example, it is actually more similar to "Escape". Of course, it is just an example. The plot is not the main thing. Horror is the core. , In addition, the story is not as big as before, well, you can understand it as a story of a visiting son-in-law and the old father-in-law's family." Yang Chen thought of something and smiled.

? ? ? ? ? ?

Xu Yu was stunned.

What does the "Resident Evil" series have to do with the visiting son-in-law and the old father-in-law's family?

It was a biochemical anti-terrorist operation before, but now it sounds like it has become a family ethics?
