The battle between the open world and linear games had also caused quite a bit of debate on the internet.
“Even some pure game fans joined in the discussion, but their discussions were mainly focused on personal preferences and feelings. It was inevitable that they were talking among themselves, and no one could convince the other. ”
!!
“As for videogame designers, some of them used data and research to determine the direction of their future games, while most of them used this discussion to adjust their direction of development, deciding what they should do based on the characteristics of their games. ”
“It had to be said that “”mysterious sea”” and “”doomsday of the United States”” had indeed resurrected linear games. ”
“It wasn’t quite accurate to say that they had been resurrected. It was probably that these two games had redefined what a truly qualified linear game was, and had given this concept a new life. ”
“In this discussion, Chen Mo’s example was inevitably repeatedly discussed. ”
“Last year, he won the best of the year with his masterpiece doomsday of the United States, and this year’s first VR game, Assassin’s Creed, created a new IP. Chen Mo could be said to be a benchmark, and his actions were seen by many as the most advanced design concept in the game industry. ”
“Just like the Apple cell phone in Chen Mo’s previous life, even if there were a lot of people who complained about how ugly the new product was, even if there were many cell phone manufacturers in the world that had their own merits, everyone would still realize one thing when Apple released a new product The best phone was still an Apple. ”
“Just like how Apple’s reputation was built on generation after generation of flagship phones, Chen Mo’s reputation was built on classic games. ”
“He was no longer the unknown new videogame designer who was questioned every time he entered a new field. Now, no matter what type of game he made, most people’s first reaction would be,””””Is Chen Mo going to redefine the genre again?”” ”
And many people who supported the open world were using Chen Mo as an example.
What was Chen Mo doing when other video game designers copied him and created games like traveler and The Lost Fleet?
He was working on Assassin’s Creed Origins.
What kind of game was Assassin’s Creed Origins?
Open world.
“Look, Chen Mo isn’t even making linear games anymore, he’s even making the open world, which is clearly the future direction! ”
“Although this argument seemed stupid, it was really scary. ”
“Many people were wondering if Chen Mo thought that he had discovered the potential of linear games after ‘end of the United States’, so he chose the more promising open world game. ”
“On Weibo’s Q & A page, many people were expressing their opinions on this question and the discussion was in full swing. ”
Someone suddenly had an idea to pay to ask Chen Mo!
“The last time Chen Mo answered that the new game was PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, his four words were viewed hundreds of thousands of times, and the rich guy who paid 9999 to ask Chen Mo the question actually earned hundreds of thousands. ”
“This time, another rich guy decided to follow suit and paid 9999 to ask Chen Mo,””””What do you think of the open world and linear games? Which type of game had a better future? Was the success of “”doomsday of the United States”” the success of a linear game? Why did Assassin’s Creed, which was released this year, switch to the open world?”” ”
“He asked a lot of questions, and it was obvious that this rich man was full of curiosity. ”
Many players were eagerly looking forward to hearing Chen Mo’s answer.
“After all, his answer, in a sense, was the correct answer to the current development direction of the game industry. ”
“However, some players thought that Chen Mo wouldn’t answer. Even if he saw the future of the industry, why would he reveal it to the public and let the competing companies know? ”
“If linear games were that good, wouldn’t it be disadvantageous for Chen Mo if all the game developers swarmed over to make them? ”
“However, to their surprise, Chen Zhao actually answered. ”
“And the answer … In a sense, it made people not know whether to laugh or cry. ”
“””You’re thinking too much, everyone. I’m just tired of linear games and want to change it.”” ”
The players who had paid 1 RMB to see this answer all spat out a mouthful of blood.
“””You just want to change the game???”” ”
“””F * ck! I thought I’d be able to hear some earth-shattering inside story! You’re trying to cheat me of a Yuan with that?”” ”
“””Someone, drag salent out! I asked you to answer the questions, not to act cool!”” ”
“””Acting tough like the wind, always by my side?”” ”
“””So you’re saying that I’m not at all conflicted about the linear game and the open world that you guys are so conflicted about? I can do whatever I want, and I can even do it well?”” ”
“””Hahahaha, the other designers are going to be pissed off by you!”” ”
……
……
“Even though Chen Mo’s answer was once again viewed by the netizens and received a lot of likes, it was undeniable that … This answer was the same as not answering. ”
“The debate continued, and every videogame designer made their own judgment on the future of the game. ”
“As for Chen Mo himself … He had basically decided on the new game, and was also paying attention to the competition. ”
“So far, the game design competition was still progressing in an orderly manner, and the graduates from various universities had shown extraordinary enthusiasm for the competition. ”
“This was because any player who performed outstandingly would be given the opportunity to join Thunderbolt entertainment directly, whether as an employee or as an independent game designer. It was the same as hugging onto a thick thigh that couldn’t be any thicker, and their future was bright. ”
“The other jobs, whether stable or lucrative, were nothing compared to Thunderbolt Entertainment’s offer. ”
“After all, there was a crazy rumor going around that Thunderbolt Entertainment’s year-end bonus was based on a three-figure monthly salary. ”
There was also a rumor that Thunderbolt Entertainment’s employees had received a total of nine-digit quarterly awards for some of its popular projects.
It could simply be said that he was inhumanely rich!
“Moreover, many of these people were here because of their passion for the game industry. ”
“These fresh graduates were full of ambition. They hoped to make a name for themselves in the game industry and let players play their games. They hoped that their games could be like “”end of the United States”” and break into the International market, conquering all the major game review media and making their names known to everyone … ”
“Even if he couldn’t be the main creator, even if he could only be a participant, it would be a great honor to be able to appear on the final list of production staff for this kind of fully-divided work. ”
“After layers of screening, the players who were truly capable and had the right attitude had basically stood out. ”
“And now, they were all very excited. ”
Because Chen Mo was going to give them a question.
