Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's words and smiled gently: "Because the popularity of their two third-party exclusive masterpieces has begun to decrease, while the popularity of "Civilization" is on the rise. This situation will continue for a long time.
So they are eager to regain the attention of players, so they can only release the Black Friday finale in advance."
“What’s the finale?”
Lin Yao asked while leading Mu Wanqing to her seat.
""Battlefield 5", "Mobile Unit 6"."
Mu Wanqing followed Lin Yao and replied: "The former is the leader of Dream Kingdom, and the latter is the leader of Gibber Company."
"FPS..."
"Well, in addition, these two games both announced that they would abandon the near-future theme and instead choose the World War II theme."
Mu Wanqing continued: "They said they would restore the most authentic World War II battlefield for players, and would add elements such as battlefield destruction, large battlefield open maps, and multi-arms combat..."
"ah?"
Lin Yao suddenly stopped, flicked her ponytail, and looked back at Mu Wanqing in astonishment.
"Um."
Mu Wanqing nodded lightly: "They did promote it like this. It should be influenced by last year's "Battlefield". At the same time, because last year's "Battlefield" was so amazing to the players, the players quite bought into the news...
I’m also looking forward to these two games.”
"...It's really a spiral."
When Lin Yao heard this, she was silent for a moment, feeling a little emotional.
Although FPS is the most popular genre, this genre is actually the most difficult to innovate, especially in terms of gameplay. Otherwise, Lin Yao's chicken-fighting genre in his previous life would not have been popular for so long.
In Lin Yao's previous life, the two largest IPs in the FPS world, "Battlefield" and "Call of Duty", although they still sell well every year, are already in decline due to the release of new games every year.
If it weren't for the pressure, I guess the latest Call of Duty game wouldn't be a soft reboot and bring out Modern Warfare again.
The Battlefield series will not be intensively integrated in the promotional video of "Battlefield 2042", and even the scene of masturbating with a high-altitude rocket launcher will be included in the official promotional video.
Isn’t it because I want to please more players…
And these two series, it's quite funny to say... New works are released every year, and the themes are changed round after round. Then after reaching a certain critical point, or after another company's theme is recognized, they will '
Go back to the roots'.
For example, after the release of "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare", Activision saw that players had lost interest in the near future and future themes. Activision immediately turned around, and the developers also publicly stated that the next game would give players the purest World War II experience.
, and the most restored World War II weapons...
As for the Battlefield series, after "Battlefield 1", "Battlefield 5" and "Battlefield 2042" were launched. The timeline of the latest Battlefield is ten years later in the near future... If this development continues, it is estimated that it will be released soon.
It is also time to 'retrace our roots'.
It's pretty cool.
But after all, there are only so many shooting themes, so it’s understandable.
As for Lin Yao, the operation of Gibber Company and Dream Kingdom is actually a "return to the origin" to a certain extent. As for the reason, as Mu Wanqing guessed, it is probably because he saw the great success of "Battlefield".
I want to invest in what the player likes.
Just don't know.
In the future, if players get tired of World War I and World War II themes, will they ‘return to their roots’ again…
After all, players’ hobbies are really elusive.
However, it is a good thing for Linmu Studio that they are doing World War II.
Fortunately, Lin Yao didn't decide to make a sequel to Battlefield, but instead made Modern Warfare.
Now their FPS theme is World War II, and Linmu Studio’s FPS theme is modern.
They are just staggered, so there is no issue of homogenization of subject matter.
As for after the release, everyone depends on their own abilities.
With multiple masterpieces being released in a short period of time, it is impossible for players to buy them all... So it can be said that the sales of games from Black Friday to New Year's Day will determine the ecology of the two PC platforms in the next half year.
“Spiral?”
the other side.
Just when Lin Yao was sighing with emotion, Mu Wanqing asked doubtfully.
"Well, it's a spiral." Lin Yao nodded, and then said: "Don't worry about them, it's their business to worry. If we are not prepared, there is no need to rush to follow the announcement. The popularity of "Civilization" is still fermenting.
Let’s leave it alone for now.”
"good."
Mu Wanqing nodded: "Then there is one more thing."
"Um?"
"Linmu Financial Holdings informed me that the construction of Linmu Studio's headquarters has been completed and will be put into use immediately. If you are in a hurry, you can do it after the New Year."
"oh?"
Lin Yao pulled up the chair for a moment, and at the same time showed an expression of surprise on her face: "It's finally okay?"
Mu Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Well, I'm going to start making preparations for the move, is that okay?"
"Of course, go ahead and prepare!"
Lin Yao flicked her ponytail, left a word, and prepared to sit down.
She was very happy. The headquarters of Linmu Studio... after spending billions, could finally be used.
"Wait, I have a question about moving...your office."
With quick eyes and quick hands, Mu Wanqing grabbed Lin Yao who was about to sit down and said steadily: "What are you going to do?"
"Ah? My office? Whatever, just have a place, just like here."
Lin Yao was confused for a while, and then replied casually.
She actually doesn't have high requirements in this regard, as long as she can sit down.
"No, don't you think...it's inconvenient sometimes?" Mu Wanqing pursed her lips lightly, then shook her head.
Lin Yao has been sitting near the PC Development Department in Founder Building. Although there is no one nearby, she is not far from the staff.
Most of the time, the staff can see Lin Yao as long as they pass by.
And this also leads to the fact that Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing often have no privacy when it comes to what they do, such as exercising and going to other places.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh?"
Lin Yao looked suspicious when she heard Mu Wanqing's words.
then.
She looked at Mu Wan's fair and beautiful face and suddenly said: "There is something wrong with you!"
Mu Wanqing immediately denied it: "I didn't, I just think... it's really inconvenient for you to sit outside sometimes."
"Yeah?"
Lin Yao blinked: "Then I don't need a separate office. It's fine to sit outside, unless you admit that something is wrong with you..."
Mu Wanqing: "..."
"Huh?" Lin Yao tilted her head, looked at the silent Mu Wanqing, and made a confused voice.
Mu Wanqing was silent for a while, then whispered: "...There's something wrong with me."
"..."
Her voice is very small.
But Lin Yao still heard it. She couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed directly. Then she said with a smile like a flower: "Then I don't need a separate office... Hey, hey! Don't pull your ponytail!"
Mu Wanqing immediately became angry from shame.
The moment Lin Yao laughed, he grabbed her ponytail.
"Let go, I can't help it."
Lin Yao turned sideways, tilted her head back slightly, looked at Mu Wanqing's pretty face with a slight blush, and couldn't help but laugh.
Only then did Mu Wanqing let her go.
"It's up to you to decide this matter. As long as the office is not on the top floor...it's actually more convenient to have an independent office."
Lin Yao became a little more serious, pulled out the chair and sat down, then leaned on the back of the chair and stretched her body: "Besides, usually you can just do physical exercises to relieve your anger..."
"..."
Mu Wanqing lowered her head in silence and looked at the girl who was leaning on the chair with her exquisite figure standing out.
"Don't even look at it."
Lin Yao gave her a slightly funny look, then stretched out his hand to pull her over.
Mu Wanqing smiled gently and sat down next to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao ignored her and took a short rest. While chatting with Mu Wanqing, she took out the drawing paper and prepared to draw the early settings of "Diablo".
Mu Wanqing also took some time out of her busy schedule to chat with Lin Yao.
While the two of them were chatting, under the table, Lin Yao's round and well-proportioned calves were wrapped around Mu Wanqing's calves wrapped in soft black stockings, swaying gently.
Mu Wanqing didn't resist either.
Um.
Look at it this way.
It seems that a separate office is really needed...
…
Inside Lin Mu Studio, everything is calm.
But externally, major game companies have been making a lot of moves recently.
The popularity of "Civilization" is getting higher and higher as the number of players increases. Not only is the sales volume soaring, but the reviews are also extremely high.
Many colleagues who previously owned strategy game IPs were a little tempted when they saw the success of "Civilization".
Because the success of "Civilization" means that strategy games have not been swept into the garbage heap, and players are not unable to accept strategy games. As long as the game is good, players can still accept it...
And also addicted!
"Civilization" is a vivid example.
Therefore, many producers have begun to come out and say that they may restart their strategy game IP in the future, which is a great thing for many strategy game enthusiasts.
Many players are sighing.
The "Civilization" launched by Linmu Studio this time is indeed not just a game, it is equivalent to pointing out a clear path for all similar games...
As for the two masterpieces that are exclusive to Game Player... their popularity has continued to decline recently.
As Frank expected, the players went around in circles and ran back to the Vaporwave game platform... because many players of "Civilization" were like being possessed by an evil spirit and kept saying that they couldn't stop playing this game.
, plus the game has received a lot of praise.
Ordinary players receive this information every day, and it is difficult not to be interested.
Once these players enter the Vaporwave gaming platform, they basically cannot get out...
Faced with this situation, the Game player was really anxious. Frank had another argument with Hawkins. After calming down for a while, he found that he had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move.
The killing move that Mu Wanqing just told Lin Yao.
Announcement of new work!
They directly released the promotional videos for "Battlefield 5" and "Mobile Unit 6".
And these two IPs are well-known in the entire gaming circle.
Frank chose this time point to announce the works released on Black Friday, or to be more precise, between Black Friday and Christmas. Although they grabbed the popularity of "Civilization", they also grabbed the two exclusive masterpieces for Game Player.
It's so hot...
So the impact is pretty big.
The developers of "Last Moment" and "Bloodlust" almost vomited blood and were very dissatisfied.
Especially the developers of Bloodthirsty.
Just call Frank and question him.
What do you mean? Our new game has only been released for half a month and it hasn’t arrived yet, and you are pushing your own new game?
Is co-writing our game a sacrifice?
In the end, probably because he was talking too much, the developer of "Bloodlust" immediately dropped the harsh words and said that he would never cooperate with the Game player platform in the future. He also said that he knew it would be the Vaporwave game platform...
Frank was sprayed bloody by the opponent, and his face was ashen, but he was really wrong, so he could only sulk.
On the other hand, for the Game player platform, two third-party masterpieces that have spent so much exclusivity money have to grab their own popularity in less than half a month. It is indeed a big mistake...
But there is no way.
Frank feels that if "Civilization" continues to snowball like this, there will be no need to compete for the game lineup at the end of the year... It is estimated that it will be rolled to death soon, and the results of the previous efforts to give out games will be in vain.
He can only do this.
Don't tell me yet.
Although Game Player has now released "Battlefield 5" and "Mobile Unit 6", the impact caused is not small and a lot of trouble.
But the effect is still there.
And it's very good.
After the two companies released promotional videos for their new games, many players were immediately attracted to them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, they are the top IPs in the world, and these two IPs have chosen the theme of World War II for their new works... The promotional video is also very impressive, it is difficult not to attract attention.
.
All kinds of artillery fire roared, and soldiers rushed forward one after another. It was tragic and tragic...
What the promotional video shows, whether it is the battlefield environment or the depiction of the battlefield atmosphere, is one of a kind.
Moreover, the promotional videos of these two games have a strong sense of "Battlefield"!
Players still remember the scene where the girl stood at the Reflecta conference and announced "Battlefield", how shocking it was!
And after the release of "Battlefield", it did not disappoint players.
Players were baptized by Linmu Studio’s “Battlefield” last year.
Now that I see a similar game again, my anticipation is instantly aroused.
This is no joke, players are really looking forward to it!
Let’s not talk about those overseas players who can’t walk when they see shooting games. They like to play in reality and they also like to play in games.
Even domestically.
Because of the excellent quality of "Battlefield" last year, there are a lot of players looking forward to it.
no way.
FPS is indeed the most popular game genre.
certainly.
Some players also feel that the new games from Gibbs and Dreamland are meant to imitate Linmu Studio's "Battlefield".
But in the gaming industry, most players actually don’t care about similar gameplay. After all, there are only so many game types. If the gameplay is really different, all the games in Lin Yao’s previous life probably can be traced back to a few ancestors.
John Carmack, the founder of FPS, can create an FPS game at once... This is boring.
Therefore, although the gameplay of "Battlefield 5" and "Mobile Unit 6" is similar to "Battlefield", it does not affect players' expectations.
rather say.
The vast majority of players are actually more curious about one thing.
That is Linmu Studio. Will it also launch FPS by the end of the year? If so, it will really be a fight between gods...
There are even dedicated posts discussing this matter on domestic forums.
The heat is quite high.
"Battlefield destruction, large-map combat, multi-arms coordination, great! I've just gotten tired of playing "Battlefield" for a year, and finally there is a new game to play."
"I just don't know what the quality is. "Battlefield" was released last year, and their games have probably been in production for a long time. This also means that the two companies adjusted their production direction last year... I am quite worried."
"It shouldn't be the case. Why are the two companies announcing new games with so much fanfare? It's just because "Civilization" has become a success. They are anxious. If the game can no longer satisfy players, it is estimated that Game Player will be in a difficult situation, and Dreamland and Gibbs will also be in trouble.
Those who understand this."
"I'm even more curious now whether Linmu Studio will launch a sequel to "Battlefield" by the end of the year? If so, I'll probably be in a dilemma."
"I took a look at the promotional video released by Linmu Studio before. The helicopter shot looks a bit like an FPS. I guess there will be no more Battlefield."
"Not necessarily, Linmu Studio is very good at hiding things. When I first saw the promotional video, who would have known that there was a "Ring Fit Adventure" that combines reality and virtuality? Who would have known that the majestic Wu Zhou in the promotional video would be a strategy game?
The scene? And isn’t there a scene in the promotional video where he introduces himself as Sherlock Holmes? The background of that game is the late Victorian period, very close to World War I.”
"I don't think so. FPS is the best thing to buy at the end of the year, and there should be a sequel to "Battlefield"!"
"It would be fun if there really was one. There are three FPSs, and they all focus on the theme of world war... Then who will win? Which one should I buy?"
"I...depend on the situation. If Linmu Studio is still doing World War I and World War II, then I will look at the degree of homogeneity and I will probably support Linmu Studio in the end."
"No, aren't you tired of it? If the three games are all about World War I and World War II, what's the point? Buy three games and repeat the same experience three times? I do hope that Linmu Studio will not have FPS by the end of the year and launch other more interesting games.
.”
"There seems to be some truth to what was said above... The three games with World War I and World War II themes are probably very boring. Rather, in fact, the three FPS games at the end of the year, no matter what the theme, are a bit boring."
"The battle between the trend-setting "Battlefield" and the challengers "Battlefield 5" and "Mobile Unit 6" is expected to be fierce, and it may even be a loss for all three companies. If the themes are too similar, players will definitely be diverted!"
"yes……"
"Everyone, stop talking, stop talking, let me ask you something. I am playing the highest difficulty level of "Civilization" on the computer. Gandhi has already completed the Manhattan Project. I am so panicked. What should I do? I am waiting online. It is very urgent.
"
"Waiting to be neutralized...or strike first!"
"..."
The topic was caused by a certain player's interference.
In the end it went sideways.
They all began to discuss how to guard against Gandhi, who had completed the Manhattan Project and was ready for nuclear annihilation at any time...
However, the FPS game war at the end of the year can be regarded as planting seeds in the hearts of players.
Linmu Studio has not announced the game to succeed "Civilization" yet. When it is announced, it will probably set off another wave of discussion...
…
"Done."
at the same time.
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao clapped her hands, then picked up the setting diagram, took a look at it, and nodded with satisfaction.
It was a dilapidated and dark dungeon filled with splattered blood and broken limbs.
Full of dark and cult undertones.
Mu Wanqing also looked sideways, but didn't say anything.
The themes of the games that Lin Yao thought of were all weird every time, and she was already used to them.
It is certainly not surprising that Lin Yao can draw all kinds of strange settings.
"Is this a new game?"
Mu Wanqing finally just asked a question as usual.
"Well, "Diablo", but I'm still thinking about how to do it. The setting diagram I'm drawing now is just to prepare Zhu Nianqiao mentally."
Lin Yao nodded and put the setting diagram aside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She is indeed still struggling with Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. This setting picture is just to give Zhu Nianqiao a rough impression, letting her know what she will do next.
What game are you making?
"I see……"
Mu Wanqing nodded and then stopped talking.
Lin Yao put down the setting diagram, then turned to look at the girl with black stocking eyes next to her.
"What's wrong?" Mu Wanqing was a little surprised.
"You won't resist?"
Lin Yao gently shook her plump thighs wrapped in smooth black stockings under the table of the lady wearing black stockings and glasses.
"Is it useful?" Mu Wanqing glared at her charmingly and wrapped her arms around the girl's round and slender thighs.
"How will you know if you don't try it?"
Lin Yao smiled, then lay down on the table, breathed a long sigh of relief, and relaxed.
This pose is the easiest...
"..."
Mu Wanqing looked a little amused at the girl's sneaky appearance.
"What are you doing!"
Lin Yao turned around, hiding half of her face in her arms, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes to look at Mu Wanqing, and at the same time lightly kicked her.
"nothing."
Mu Wanqing shook her head gently and suppressed a smile.
"Just laugh if you want."
Lin Yao turned back and looked at the screen. Mu Wanqing's plump and well-proportioned thighs were gently swaying under the table, while she yawned lazily and sighed: "The black silk is so smooth."
"Do you want to try it?"
Hearing Lin Yao change the topic.
Mu Wanqing didn't say anything, but became excited.
She had wanted to see it for a long time...
"Me? Don't waste your time."
Lin Yao shook her head slightly, then smiled and said: "I, Lin Yao, will never wear it even if I die."
"..."
"Absolutely impossible." Lin Yao finally added without forgetting.
…
That night.
Lin.
"sister."
Lin Yao came back and called Lin Xi as soon as she entered the door.
Because Lin Xi said he would come back early today.
"I'm home?"
Lin Xi was sitting dignifiedly on the sofa and immediately raised his head when he heard the sound.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yao glanced at Lin Xi while taking off her coat.
"The newly bought stockings, take them apart..."
Lin Xi responded, then thought of something, suddenly looked up at her sister standing not far away, wearing jeans, her plump thighs looked particularly slender, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Yao, you haven't worn it yet, right? Do you want it?"
Try it?"
"..."
Lin Yao made a move.
But Lin Xi had already stood up.
"don't want!"
"Try..."
"Lin Xi, you did it on purpose, right? Or did you collude with Mu Wanqing?"
