It has been two days since "Tomb Raider" and "Battlefield" were unlocked.
The first batch of players who bought the game have basically completed "Tomb Raider".
The single-player process of "Battlefield" is shorter, and almost all players who purchase the game have already been exposed to the multiplayer mode.
The most popular modes among players in the two games happen to be the other way around...
Although many players like the prologue and first three chapters of "Battlefield", the later chapters are a bit weak. This is also the biggest flaw of the "Battlefield" series - the plot has never been as good as that of the COD series.
"Tomb Raider" has a single-player campaign with no flaws throughout. From the first chapter to the final chapter, it is very gripping and highly praised. However, the performance of the multiplayer online mode is very average.
This situation.
It would have brought some negative reviews to the game.
But because the two games were released at the same time and belonged to the same producer, they miraculously complemented each other in the end...
Gamers who like stand-alone battles highly recommend "Tomb Raider" for its excellent character design, stunning graphics and breathtaking rhythm.
Players who like shooting games and battles recommend "Battlefield", which has a unique charm and a refreshing battle mode with a realistic battlefield atmosphere.
Throughout the Christmas shopping season in Europe and the United States, Linmu Studio became the biggest winner...
This is the first time that Linmu Studio has tried to launch a new game during the holidays in Europe and the United States. However, it has directly defeated the established European and American game manufacturers. In addition, Reflecta's console market share has increased sharply during the shopping season.
, allowing them to truly succeed the acquired Bushnell and become the third largest host manufacturer worthy of the name...
certainly.
There are reasons why Reflecta is willing to spend money on promotion, and there are also reasons why the other two console manufacturers have not prepared new games.
Whether Reflecta can completely secure its position as the third largest host manufacturer depends on their subsequent operations.
But one thing is for sure.
That is.
Lin Mu Studio is unparalleled in the limelight and has become famous in Europe and the United States.
Although Linmu Studio has previously launched many popular online games and stand-alone games, such as "The Witch", which is very popular, it is still far from famous... Many European and American stand-alone players have only heard of "The Witch", but don't know it.
The production company behind it is Linmu Studios.
But now, the two masterpieces, coupled with Lin Yao's appearance at the press conference and Reflecta's crazy campaign, have finally made many European and American players remember Linmu Studio, a game company from the East.
This is actually quite amazing.
You know, Lin Mu Studio was established less than five years ago.
Putting aside the big European and American manufacturers, those Japanese manufacturers that European and American players were familiar with in Lin Yao’s previous life, all of them have a reputation that they only gained after decades of hard work... Nintendo, Capcom, Sony, Konami, etc.
Started playing games.
Therefore, it is really remarkable that so many overseas players have remembered the company name in such a short period of time.
The popularity of Linmu Studio's games not only made players remember the production company, but also affected the next production plans of European and American Gemini, namely Gibber Company and Dream Kingdom.
After all, the game sales revenue during the shopping season accounts for a large proportion for Gibb and Dream Kingdom.
This time the games of the two companies were beaten by "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider", and they are already thinking about whether they can imitate and make similar games...
"Is it difficult to implement the environmental destruction system in "Battlefield"?"
Frank looked at the chief technology officer in front of him and asked curiously.
The chief technology officer shook his head slightly: "It's not difficult. I studied it and found that the method they used to achieve it is not complicated at all. The model is to prepare several possible effects of attacks from different angles in advance, and then adjust them according to the actual game situation.
Replacement, we can achieve this."
"Then can we make a similar game?"
Frank asked again.
"..."
The chief technology officer looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "It's possible, but this kind of environmental destruction is only used to enhance the battlefield atmosphere. But "Battlefield" not only creates a good battlefield atmosphere... I can only guarantee that the technology can achieve it.
, but whether the game can be made depends on the game producer’s ideas.”
"Understood."
Frank breathed a sigh of relief.
really.
Technology is one thing.
They can do the same.
But how to rationally use technology in the game to complement each other and make the game more exciting will test the ability of the production team...
After all, if you only have technology, no matter how good the battlefield is, it will be useless if the game is not fun.
"Battlefield" is not only about the battlefield atmosphere, but also about epic scene settings and art, the coordination of various vehicles and arms, and the unique grand momentum...
All in all, it's... fun.
This is the reason why many players are willing to buy the game "Battlefield".
"Okay, you can go out."
Thinking of this, Frank waved his hand and asked the chief technology officer to go out.
But he himself lowered his head and seriously considered whether to follow the trend and make a similar FPS...
after all.
He even went to play "Battlefield" and became obsessed with it. He spent more than three hours fighting against others in the multiplayer mode...
He had to admit it.
Linmu Studio, a game company from the East, is really awesome. Although the chief technology officer just said that environmental destruction is not difficult to achieve at a technical level, it is perfectly integrated into the game and directly raises the battlefield atmosphere to a higher level.
It's really not easy.
This is still under the condition that the PC hardware is uneven...
If they were given a console and the hardware was the same, they would probably be able to maximize the gameplay of a game, right?
For example, this time "Battlefield", if the console is exclusive, they will probably be able to squeeze out the performance of the console and then increase the battlefield atmosphere again...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Think of this.
Frank suddenly shook his head and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
There's no way this is going to happen.
It is impossible for them to create exclusive games for Reflecta, and their game platform is deeply rooted in PC, and they no longer make consoles. How could they have such an opportunity...
"President."
At this time.
The secretary knocked gently and walked in.
"What's up?"
"I just received a call from Reflecta. Glenn John wants to meet with you tomorrow. Do you want to refuse?"
"oh?"
Frank smiled when he heard this, not surprised: "It's only been a few days, and he can't wait to contact me. It seems that their console has been selling well during this period... It's really bad luck, promise him.
"
The secretary nodded.
"However, the fact that they are so impatient also indirectly means that Linmu Studio will not make any more games for them in the future..."
Frank shook his head and said with a smile: "This is normal. Seeing those two games brought such high sales to Reflecta's console, Linmu Studio probably even regretted it. How could they still be taken advantage of?
You know how Reflecta convinced them in the first place..."
"Speaking of this."
When the secretary heard this, his face suddenly became a little strange.
"What's wrong?"
Frank looked up.
The secretary hesitated for a moment and said: "Earlier today, Linmu Studio released a short video on its own game platform and its official social media account... Then I saw some players in the comments saying that it seemed like
A sign of an installation, like a hint of...a certain piece of hardware."
"?"
When Frank heard this, he slowly asked a question, and after saying "How is it possible?", he immediately opened the Vaporwave game platform.
On the homepage of the overseas version of the Vaporwave game platform.
In the most conspicuous position, a LOGO is playing in a loop.
On a bright red background.
Two minimalist blocks slide up and down like an installation.
There was a snap.
Then keep it parallel.
"...?" Frank looked at this short animation, as well as the words console... (control), 30-day countdown (30-day countdown) and other words that appeared at the end, and slowly put a question mark.
……What does this mean?
…
at the same time.
Peria Headquarters.
President Kawa and Deputy Mikio are asking the same questions to the technicians as Frank.
That is, can a game like "Battlefield" be made...
And the answer he got was similar to the answer Frank got.
Can do it.
But how far it can be achieved depends on the producer.
Reflecta has now officially succeeded Bushnell, which went bankrupt and was acquired, and has become the third largest host manufacturer.
There is no way to change this matter.
Mikio Kawa also calmed down and put away his useless anger.
Instead of wasting time on unnecessary things, I started thinking about how to deal with Reflecta next.
certainly.
He has witnessed the success of "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider" with his own eyes. If you say that he is not impressed, that would be a lie... After all, these two games have helped Reflecta gain a firm foothold to some extent.
It's not exclusive.
Of course he will be thinking about whether he can launch a similar game on his own.
Listen to the technician’s conclusion.
Deputy Mikio Kawa thought for a moment, and then told the technical officer: "Evaluate the feasibility, and then give the feasibility report to Shoji Shima."
Shoji Shima is the ace producer of their well-known first-party studio.
"yes."
Technique bowed, turned around and left.
Deputy Mikio Kawa thought for a while and asked his secretary to call the new head of the marketing department.
As for the previous one.
Already transferred to Southeast Asia...
"Is the release date of Ben Studio's "The Wrongful" confirmed?"
"Yes! February 1 next year."
The new head of the marketing department responded respectfully and humbly.
"Well...confirm Reflecta's list of games to be released in February, and then show it to me."
Kawabu Mikio's eyes flickered, and he had already thought about how to deal with the new opponent Reflecta.
In the final analysis.
Reflecta's foundation is still too shallow. Mikio Kawafu basically knows the details of the first-party game companies or studios it acquires, and they will not be able to produce very good works.
As for the works of third-party production companies.
As long as it's not exclusive, it doesn't make any sense.
If Lin Mu Studio didn't come out halfway this time.
They will be oppressed and beaten during this shopping season.
"yes."
The person in charge of the marketing department bowed respectfully again.
"In addition, pay special attention to Linmu Studio, which has a particularly good relationship with them. If there is any action by that company, make a special note of it."
Mikio Kawa added.
Although the possibility is low, if Reflecta convinces Lin Mu Studio again, there will still be some trouble.
"...Yes." The person in charge of the marketing department responded, then showed hesitation.
"But it's probably unlikely."
Kawafu Mikio suddenly shook his head and said with a smile to himself: "They probably won't make games for Reflecta. After all, they have to replace me. I don't want to continue to make wedding dresses for others. I give up the console myself and work hard."
If the game you create helps others, even if it makes money, it will be used as an excuse to criticize internally..."
"President."
The person in charge of the marketing department carefully interrupted Mikio Kawa.
"Huh?" Mikio Kawa was a little unhappy.
"The Linmu Studio you just mentioned, they really have something worth noting. Not long ago, they released an animation, which I always find a little strange..."
The person in charge of the marketing department said cautiously.
"strangeness?"
"Please take a look."
The person in charge of the marketing department took out his mobile phone, then swiped it a few times, walked around to Mikio Kawafu's body, held the phone in both hands, and respectfully handed the phone to Mikio Kawafu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mikio Kawa looked down.
What’s on the phone is Linmu Studio’s official account on overseas social media.
And they just posted a tweet not long ago.
The content of the tweet is a short video.
On a bright red background.
Two minimalist blocks slide up and down like an installation.
There was a snap.
Then keep it parallel.
At the same time, two lines of words console... (control) and 30-day countdown (30-day countdown) appeared below.
"...?"
A chill suddenly arose in Mikio He's heart, and he suddenly raised his head and asked: "What do you mean!? What do you mean!?"
He even asked twice what it meant.
Because the word console stimulated his nerves.
Console game (stand-alone game)? Or...game Console (game console)?
Combined with this installation-like animation...
"My subordinates don't know."
The person in charge of the marketing department put away the phone, shook his head, then hesitated for a moment, and continued: "But I saw some comments saying that this is like a sign of a certain installation, it seems to imply... a certain piece of hardware."
"impossible!"
Mikio Kawa immediately retorted.
The new head of the marketing department kept his mouth shut.
After Mikio Kawa retorted with confidence, he immediately frowned...
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked: "...Has your ex set off for Southeast Asia?"
…
domestic.
As more people have cleared the two games "Tomb Raider" and "Battlefield", more players are sharing it.
Related game posts are constantly emerging, constantly teasing players.
Three days.
For many console players who are unwilling to buy, life is like a year.
But it's okay.
Finally got over it.
Tomorrow, the platform version of the game will be unlocked.
[It’s really not easy, three days! Three days! Lin Yao! Do you know how I got here these three days? Watching videos of other people playing games every day! 】
On the largest gaming forum in China.
front page.
The first post is a complaint from players...
But soon.
This post was downvoted...
What followed was a new post.
An official new post from Linmu Studio.
The post didn't say anything, just a very short video.
On a bright red background.
Two minimalist blocks slide up and down like an installation.
There was a snap...
Then.
That’s it…
