Chapter 671 Mad King
The second day after Assassin's Creed was released.
Without a doubt,
this game has become the hottest topic in the gaming circle.
It even seems that more people are discussing it than Left 4 Dead!
As for why...
Lin Yao had heard a very interesting conclusion in her previous life.
That is,
most of the series of games, at least five or six series, with very good sales, are all the most suitable games to be the "first stand-alone game for young people".
The vast majority of game players can get happiness from them.
And as they play more games, these players may find that other games are more fun for them.
But these games are not suitable for everyone.
And Assassin's Creed is the most suitable game to be the "first stand-alone game for young people".
Although Ubisoft's canned open world games have been complained about every year,
but apart from Ubisoft, how many game companies can produce similar games so frequently?
Don't talk about bugs.
Some game companies can't even make bugs!
Their games may make some players feel bored because they are too regular.
But precisely because of the regularity, their game operation is very friendly, the guidance is also strong, and the game content is also standard.
In addition, the graphics are good, and the assassin's movements are handsome.
All of this adds up to a perfect stand-alone game that is really suitable for entry.
So the next day.
It is difficult to say what the outstanding advantages of "Assassin's Creed" are, but the game has achieved a perfect balance in all aspects. In terms of popularity, it is higher than "Left 4 Dead"!
This can be seen from the number of reviews.
Many peers have actually played "Assassin's Creed".
But after playing this game, they gave the evaluation that this is a very balanced game in all aspects, not amazing.
"Left 4 Dead" is different. Although it does not have handsome movements and characters, the game plot is almost a cycle of four unlucky guys rushing on the road, not catching up, and continuing to rush on the road. But this game has outstanding advantages, and it can be said to be the ceiling of the zombie theme category.
But these two games with such a sharp contrast ended up being more balanced in all aspects. Even in the eyes of many peers, except for art, the game with mediocre gameplay and other aspects has a higher popularity.
Moreover, this game has attracted a large number of new players.
The new players here do not refer to players who have never played games, but players who have rarely played stand-alone games.
The last time Linmu Studio launched a new stand-alone game that attracted so many new players was when COD was released...
but COD's advantages were also outstanding.
So why is this?
Many peers can't figure it out.
They can only watch the popularity of this game getting higher and higher... higher and higher.
Moreover, after playing the game, many players changed their social account avatars to the Assassin's emblem.
Then the phrase "Everything is false, everything is allowed" became a hot trend among young people.
And there is the white hood! It has become one of the most popular peripherals of the game!
Linmu Studio did not release peripherals.
But the next day, many players were searching for similar products... and some merchants also keenly noticed this business opportunity and urgently pre-sold similar products.
The sales were still very good.
The development of the situation was beyond the expectations of all peers.
It was not until this time that many peers realized
that the game "Assassin's Creed" was indeed very balanced in all aspects and did not have any outstanding advantages.
But it is because it is moderately difficult, the threshold is not high, you can play and close it at any time, it is suitable for relaxation and there will be a little tension. It also has historical elements, you can understand human geography, and it has fancy and handsome battle performances and parkour gameplay, as well as a regular plot...
Old players can find fun! New players can also find fun!
And many elements of this game are really in line with the popular culture of contemporary young people.
Old players plus new players who come because of the promotional video, it would be strange if it is not more popular than "Left 4 Dead"!
And "Assassin's Creed" has also become a clear stream in the single-player market, which has a vague trend of solidification and fatigue in player growth recently.
Linmu Studio directly used "Assassin's Creed" to achieve the second wave of growth in single-player game players!
And these players.
Needless to say.
After playing "Assassin's Creed", they will definitely consciously contact other single-player games if they find it interesting, especially when Linmu Studio's Vaporwave game platform is often discounted.
These people are estimated to bring income to Linmu Studio in the future...
After thinking about the context clearly.
Countless peers are broken.
This is fucking awesome.
This is all possible!
They release games so frequently, and each game is different, not only in type, but also in purpose.
Then they also had the same idea as the players...
Has Linmu Studio's understanding of games reached perfection?
They can make linear games like Left 4 Dead, which is refreshing, creates an invincible atmosphere, can be played happily by one person, and can also fight with other players, and has outstanding advantages. They
can also make games like Assassin's Creed, which are balanced in all aspects, fit the popular culture of modern young people, and can attract new players.
Then there was "Modern Scrolls"...
attracting new users here, and then killing people there.
It was simply invincible.
Now they dare not imagine what kind of grand occasion the release of "Modern Scrolls", which was promoted the earliest and seemed to have the largest volume, would be...
In addition, the most important thing is.
After the launch of "Assassin's Creed" by Linmu Studio.
The attention to mobile games has dropped again.
After all, if we really talk about experience, mobile games really can't compare with 3A standard stand-alone games.
Except for the mobile games launched before, which have a fixed audience and are not affected.
The mobile games announced later can't even attract the first wave of audiences, traditional players, let alone break the circle to attract ordinary people.
After all, this is not Lin Yao's previous life. Because of the host ban and other issues, in terms of popularity, online games in the PC era are always greater than buyout stand-alone games, and mobile games are the absolute king in the mobile era.
With Linmu Studio here, the domestic game market environment is completely reversed.
Linmu Studio has been producing games like crazy during this period.
I can only say that I am desperate.
Really desperate...
...
Tianhu.
Mou Feng finished Assassin's Creed, and then stared at the game on the screen in a daze.
It's not that the game is too good.
In fact, in his mind, this game is not highly regarded, especially when the producer is Linmu Studio.
Compared with other stand-alone games of Linmu Studio.
It is really too regular.
It doesn't look like a game of Linmu Studio.
When their games are launched, they will not stop until they amaze everyone.
But in this game, the parkour and assassination mentioned in the promotional video did not make him feel very amazed during the game. It is handsome and cool.
But that's all.
But this game is the most comfortable stand-alone game he has played during this period...
Mainly because it is not difficult, it doesn't matter if you don't do the main line occasionally, you can travel around the holy city, and do the side quests when you encounter them, experience the exotic customs, and show off.
And if you want to do the main line, you can get a movie-level plot experience...
This is neither as limited as a linear game, nor as empty as a filler open world game.
Everything is just right.
Play halfway.
He knew that this game would definitely attract a large number of players who rarely played stand-alone games.
And the facts were just as he expected.
How could he not be depressed...
"I can guarantee that there has never been such a game company in China before, and there won't be one in the future."
Mou Feng leaned back, then looked at Li Guangsheng, sighed, and said what was in his heart: "Linmu Studio will leave a strong mark in the history of games no matter what, and there is no way to surpass it."
"..."
Li Guangsheng did not object for the first time. After a moment of silence, he said: "I know, but now is not the time to pay attention to this matter. Let's think about the release time of our mobile game."
"After 15 days, let the publicity department create momentum."
Mou Feng replied without any hesitation: "That will be the best time. I didn't know the purpose of Linmu Studio before, but now I have a vague guess. They may want to burn one last time before the mobile terminal completely rises, put a perfect end to the old era, and reach a peak again, leaving an indelible impression on the players.
Lin Yao is still the leader of Linmu Studio. Considering that she occasionally has a very emotional side, this possibility is very high.
I guess they won't do this in the future. After all, it is a commercial company, and the general trend is not something they can resist.
If they really want to resist the trend of mobile games, where will they put Youmei Technology?
I can only say that we are too unlucky. We just happened to meet an old king who wanted to go crazy. He only needs to take two steps to become the new king, but he has to continue to shed his glory on the road... and blind the eyes of us followers."
When Mou Feng said this,
his tone was really helpless.
Because that's the fact.
After the launch of the two mobile games "Top" and "Day of Reincarnation", Linmu Studio only needs to produce related mobile games like it treats traditional games now, and they will immediately become the new king, the undoubted king of mobile games!
Jiaming Alliance and Tianhu will be nothing by then.
But they just don't want to do that. They want to launch Future S2 at the time when the mobile phone market is about to usher in a comprehensive upgrade. They show what a crazy king is!
They can even accept that the mobile game market will be affected for a short time, but they will also burn for the last time. It's
so second-year!
But they can accept it, what about their peers?
They are going blind...
Because as pioneers, their light is really too bright.
Li Guangsheng: "... a little bit childish."
"Because Linmu Studio is more childish!"
Mou Feng retorted: "If I guess correctly, Modern Scrolls will be the last shadow they leave us, a lingering shadow hanging over all their peers. This will also be their last madness, and then they will be at ease to shift their focus to mobile games!
These young people!! I have nothing to say! This is the first time I admit that I am old, they are really brave!"
As he spoke.
Mou Feng directly cursed.
Li Guangsheng: "..."
Mou Feng took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and continued:
"Anyway, this is the situation now, so it's decided! We can't wait until "Modern Scrolls" is released, or even until the popularity of "Assassin's Creed" completely dissipates, because as the last "Modern Scrolls", Linmu Studio will definitely use the highest standards to promote this game. This is the red carpet for them to ascend the throne of the new king!
They will do this, and if we want to keep up with Linmu Studio, we can only seize the time difference. It's not good to be too early, it's easy to run into the gun. It's not good to be too late. When "Modern Scrolls" is released, the heat is completely over, Linmu Studio returns to calm, and other peers will react. At that time, the mobile game market will bloom again, and our pressure will be very great, and we will inevitably participate in the chaos."
"...I understand, I will arrange it now."
Li Guangsheng nodded when he heard it, and then turned and left immediately.
Mou Feng woke up the computer screen again, watching "Assassin's Creed" that he had played for more than ten hours, and fell into silence.
Linmu Studio... This red carpet was laid out for a really long time, and it burned brightly in the end.
But fortunately,
it's finally coming to an end.
I just don't know how dazzling their finale "Modern Scrolls" will be...
Thinking of this,
Mou Feng couldn't help but sigh again.
...
The opinions of his peers don't have much impact on the players.
They are celebrating the new game!
This time, Linmu Studio's new game was undoubtedly a success.
And Linmu Studio
was also very excited about this success.
But the excitement only lasted for one day.
It soon calmed down.
Because there are still many things to do...
"Everything is false, everything is permitted doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"
Lin Yao let go of the mouse and looked at Mu Wanqing helplessly: "If you kill all the way, it's not called assassination, it's called berserker, of course you will die! And if you understand it this way, aren't you the same as the ignorant Altair?"
"..."
Mu Wanqing looked at the prompt of loss of synchronization and replied embarrassedly: "Teach me later, I will definitely play it..."
"Okay... But how about you cosplay as an assassin? Miss Mu"
Lin Yao nodded, then thought about it, and showed a malicious smile: "Female version of the assassin!"
"Do you want to see it?" Mu Wanqing did not refuse, but blinked and asked back.
"I want to see it." Lin Yao answered instantly.
Mu Wanqing nodded and said, "That's fine... It's okay if you're alone."
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said, "Ms. Mu, you are the perfect girlfriend to some extent. Not only do you cater to the interests of the other party and adapt to the game field that you are not good at, but you also let her wear whatever she wants. To be honest, I'm moved..."
"Then you are moved."
Mu Wanqing gave her a blank look: "Why am I always moved..."
"You'd better say you're moved!"
Lin Yao glared at her.
The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other and hugged each other gently.
"No more playing, let's finish our current work first."
Lin Yao sat down again, drank a sip of water, turned off the game, then looked at the email in the OA, and asked: "Does the marketing department have any plans for the next game?"
"Yes."
Mu Wanqing picked up the file on the desk and replied softly: "The next one is "Titanfall", which will officially start promotion in 15 days and will be released before the Spring Festival."
"Is that so."
Lin Yao took the file from Mu Wanqing's hand, took a quick look, and replied: "Okay."
