Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?.

Chapter 258

boom!
A muffled sound.

Old E landed steadily outside a building in the factory area.

Looking up, you can still see parachutes falling all over the sky, and many players have chosen positions similar to him.

"Go ahead and see what supplies are available."

Although the skydiving experience was a bit strange, Old E was still eager to try, controlled the character to enter the building beside him, and began to search for supplies.

After a while, he picked up a P92 pistol and a magazine, and armed himself.

The whole operation process was very smooth, basically the same as changing guns in CF, which made him even think he was playing CF.

"This penguin is too lazy. Even the materials are ready-made, so I don't want to change it."

Old E couldn't help but complain.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that the style of the game is a bit cartoonish.

I didn't pay much attention when I was outside.

But after entering the building, many details are exposed, and it is completely the basic material painted with color and placed there.

Even the containers outside looked like giant plastic cubes placed side by side, with no details at all except for the different colors.

"It seems a little rough?"

"Could it be that you came out in a hurry?"

"It's quite different from the CF of our family."

"The action of changing the gun is exactly the same."

"Would you like to look elsewhere?"

In terms of shooting games, Penguin is still very strong, otherwise it would not be possible to occupy the top spot of similar games for so long.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this "Ace Battleground" was rushed, and many details were not done well.

It is completely pieced together by relying on a huge material library.

"Okay, anyway, this kind of game doesn't pay much attention to the details of objects."

Old E comforted himself, and continued to search other buildings and found a lot of supplies, basically all kinds of guns, bullets and grenades.

It was not until the third building was searched that a burst of rapid gunfire suddenly came from the distance.

"Here we come! Someone has touched me. He dared to step into my territory. He's getting impatient."

Soon, he went up to the top of the building, raised his gun and aimed around with great interest.

After searching for a while, I finally found two figures exchanging fire on the hillside outside the factory area.

With several years of experience in shooting games, he naturally reacted quickly, aiming directly at one of the players.

Bang bang two shots, the man headshot on the spot.

Then, taking advantage of the panic of the other person, he shot him a few more times to finish him off.

"It's okay, it feels good."

Looking at the corpses that disappeared in the distance, Old E said with satisfaction.

Although the production is not very eye-catching, with the new gameplay, this game is still remarkable, at least it remains on the qualified line.

It also gave him the motivation to keep playing.

Other players who entered the game also held similar thoughts to him at this time, and gradually immersed themselves in the game.

……

"Zeng Li, the background data for the first hour is out."

Penguin, Huanhai project team.

Just after the first hour of the game's launch, the employees below took the printed data and found Zeng Fuming who was supervising the work.

"Is it coming out so soon? Show it to me!"

Zeng Fuming took the report and read it carefully.

But after a while, his brows suddenly frowned.

"The player retention rate is not even 70%?"

In the first hour, the retention rate was only 70%, which is already very low data.

However, when he thought that their game was produced in a short period of time, he was relieved, and even showed a smile.

With Penguin's huge player base.

Not to mention 70%, even if it drops to 50%, there are still millions online.

For a new game, this is already very scary. Sure enough, their decision to choose this new gameplay was right.

Wait until they cannibalize this market.

Even if Honghuang or other manufacturers want to step in again, there is no chance.

In the end, I can only watch them dominate the shooting category.

"Very good, continue to increase publicity and try to stabilize as many players as possible."

"Ok."

The employee responded and left in a hurry, with an unconcealable look of joy on his face.

Their requirements are not as high as Zeng Fuming's. In the first hour, millions of players are online, which is already almost catching up with several pillar games under Penguin.

This battle royale gameplay really has huge potential!
……

bang bang bang-

Boom! ! !

Fierce gunshots, accompanied by deafening explosions, echoed in the old E live broadcast room.

After half an hour of fighting, he finally entered the top five ranks, leaving only him and four other players on the entire island.

"Okay, it's just the first one and it's in the top five."

"The anchor still has something."

"Kill four more people and you will be number one!"

"It's a bit difficult. Those guys have been hiding in the building and can't come out."

"The main reason is that this map is too big, and there are many building bunkers."

"The gameplay is a good one, but I feel a little tired after a round, and I'm looking for someone."

With the continuous deepening, the players finally gradually discovered another drawback of this game.

That's because the map is too big!
The general CF map is basically a closed sandbox field, and you can encounter enemies casually.

But this "Ace Battlefield" has enlarged the map dozens of times in order to reproduce the battle royale game proposed by Honghuang.

It was okay when there were a lot of people at first.

The further you hit the back, the harder it is to find people.

Penguin obviously also considered this defect, so it added a position marker. When there are only ten players left on the field, it will mark the positions of all players at intervals.

Although this can play a role.

But the map is too big, and it will take a long time to rush over.

It took more than 50 minutes before Old E was shot in the head with a shot in a jungle confrontation and won the No. 3 result.

"It's okay. Although it took a long time, the battle royale game is really interesting to play. It's a pity that I didn't get the first place."

Old E said regretfully, reached out and rubbed his sore eyes and stiff wrist, and then continued with the next blow.

In contrast.

Other players who don't have so much time can't accept it a bit.

A game lasts for nearly an hour, and there is no way to take a break. This alone has dissuaded many players.

And more importantly.

It seems that there is not much difference between playing and CF.

At most, it's just a bigger map.

Except for the background of the battle royale, the basic gameplay has not changed. It is to change the gun to keep killing the enemy, and then change to a better gun.

Moreover, the gap period in between is too long, and for a long time, they are either searching for supplies or on their way.

At the beginning, there is still a sense of novelty.

But the more you get to the back, the more boring you feel, it's better to go back and play CF.

The original 70% retention rate has also dropped to about 50%, which is about the same as Zeng Fuming's initial estimate.

But he wasn't worried.

Even 50% is enough to crush other manufacturers.

And in the next week, they also focused on announcing and releasing "Ace Battlefield", and the number of online users has been stable at more than one million, which is a very good starting result.

Even if the other manufacturers are jealous, they can only worry on the sidelines, watching Penguin get ahead first.

Among them, the most urgent ones were Hong Huang's employees.

……

"Mr. Chen, if this continues, they will really take the lead!"

In the conference room, Lao Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

The other team leaders were also full of worry, feeling the urgency of the situation.

"Why don't we launch the beta version first? Let's stabilize the popularity first, and update and optimize later." Someone couldn't help but suggested.

"I think it's okay, otherwise, if this continues, the players will almost be snatched away by the penguins."

"The big deal is to work overtime for a period of time after going online to solve all the test problems!"

"But doing so will have an impact on our reputation?"

For a long time, they have always focused on quality, and they have managed to establish a reputation among the player community.

If the efforts of the past few years are ruined because of the early launch of a semi-finished product this time, it will be a bit of a loss.

But let them watch the penguins occupy the magpie's nest and take away the heat that belongs to them, and it feels extremely uncomfortable.

After all, this is what everyone has worked hard for several months and worked hard to develop together, including the sweat of every employee in each department.

Even if you want to lose.

That should also be defeated by an upright contest!

At that time, even if you are unwilling, you will at most admit that your skills are inferior to others.

Instead of being so aggrieved like now!

"It's natural to go online, but not now."

At this time, Chen Lin, who was sitting in the first place, spoke.

The originally noisy conference room fell silent instantly, and all eyes fell on him.

"Does President Chen have any plans?"

Lao Song opened his mouth and asked the doubts in their hearts for them.

"Just wait and see the good show. It should not be a few days before the wind direction on the Penguin side will start to change. During this period, you just need to hurry up and do the final optimization test."

Just 50% of the players are retained, so you think you can sit back and relax?
Penguin still underestimated these players.

Chen Lin smiled lightly, without any sense of urgency.

The employees below were overjoyed.

Does the boss have a backup?

It's a pity that Chen Lin didn't explain too much, and got up slowly after speaking.

"Okay, let's all go back to work, I want to see the finished game before the 15th of this month, can it be done?"

"Of course!"

Lao Li spoke first.

Then other team leaders also responded one after another, promising to complete the task.

At the same time, I am looking forward to what will happen before the 15th, which will change the wind direction on the Penguin side.

With this doubt, they all got up and left the meeting room, hurrying to do the final finishing work.

……

blink of an eye.

Another three days passed.

After this period of publicity, the popularity of Penguin's "Ace Battlefield" is unprecedentedly high, attracting many players into the pit.

The most of them are the students who have just had their summer vacation.

As the most dynamic generation, they naturally became the main force of online games, tirelessly playing one game after another every day.

Simultaneously.

The criticism of this game has also begun to increase.

For example, problems such as disconnection and lag, too long game time, stuck through the model, gun change bugs, delays, etc., are gradually exposed as the number of players increases, seriously affecting the game experience.

These are all caused by Penguin's rush to go online.

More deadly.

As the game explodes.

All kinds of hacks began to appear inside, such as wall penetration, self-aiming, blood lock, teleportation, and so on.

It made ordinary players complain.

Penguin's backstage staff were also anxious.

After waiting for a few days for no maintenance, it finally triggered a wave of exiting the pit, and the number of online users plummeted wildly.

The worst ever.

Several big anchors of Douyu are fighting with each other to see who can win the game in the end.

As a result, when I encountered a self-aiming plug-in, I was shot in the head even when I was hiding in a building. It was so arrogant.

Then I tried a few times, and died in the hands of the plug-in in various ways.

In an instant, the entire game circle exploded.

Several big anchors deleted the game and quit the pit angrily, and even the fans who followed them left.

"Cheat! It turned out to be a cheat!"

Lao Li and others who received the news were both surprised and delighted.

I finally understood what Mr. Chen meant when he said that the wind direction would change.

It's not that he has any backhand.

But this situation has been anticipated for a long time.

What is the most important thing about competitive gaming?
fair!

The emergence of plug-ins is undoubtedly a serious blow to the fairness of the game.

If it is not resolved in time, then this game is equivalent to a death sentence!

"Haha, you deserve it! Who made them rush online without taking safety measures? Will they be punished now?"

"I've seen that game. The protection measures are in a mess. It's not surprising that there are cheats."

"Some of them are busy now."

"Fortunately, we didn't rush to launch the beta version."

The employees gloated and rejoiced.

Although I also hated cheating in my heart, I had to admire it this time.

This plug-in is great!
was thinking.

Chen Lin also walked out of the office and came to the production team.

"Get ready, release the second promotional CG, and release an announcement by the way, the game will be launched at noon on the 15th!"

"okay!"

The employees were delighted to take over.

been prepared for so long.

It's finally their turn to fight back!
