Good weekend everyone, I'm Dr. X.
[Hot Tour Information] will be composed of two parts: "New Tour Dynamics" and "Global Popularity".
I can't say it clearly, but let's talk about what hot news this week is with Dr. X.
【New Tour News】
Focus: The second yuan Los Santos "Different Ring" is extremely popular, and the new offline real machine trial is announced
Known as the two-dimensional GTA, "Alien Ring" announced a new PV and demo display this week.
Once the new PV and offline trial review were released, they also received a lot of praise, and they also exceeded one million plays in a short period of time, which shows that players are very satisfied with the actual effect.
In the trial version, you can see that the basic gameplay of the game has been relatively perfect, and the completion of the open world exploration and combat part is quite high, which may also be the experience accumulated by the previous project "Tower of Fantasy" for many years of operation and revision, and the level of this test is much higher than the previous "Tower of Fantasy" open beta.
It is worth mentioning that "Alien Ring" also absorbs some characteristics of previous works of the same type in the gameplay design, such as in the combat switching part, a switching attack is added, and the previous character will also complete the previous attack action and disappear.
In terms of the overall effect of the trial, "Different Ring" is still quite worth looking forward to, and it can even be said that it far exceeds the strength shown by the second game of the same type in the previous two years.
At present, the game has opened the recruitment reservation for the first test [Singularity Test], and interested players can try it.
Key points: Tencent's new game "Delta Action" public beta is launched, and the "Yuan Meng" style publicity is coming again
This week, Tencent's new FPS work "Operation Delta" was officially launched in public beta.
This is a new domestic FPS game that integrates the offensive and defensive battles of the big battlefield with the "battlefield" style and the "Tarkov" collection gameplay, which can be said to make up for the gap in this field of domestic FPS online games.
Although "Operation Delta" is a multi-terminal game, with both mobile and PC versions, but fortunately, the two are mostly separated, and Dr. X did not experience the problem of affecting the PC operation due to the mobile game UI and operation logic when experiencing the terminal game, which can be regarded as a solution to the contradictory operation experience of the multi-terminal game to a certain extent.
It is worth mentioning that since the "Yuan Dream Star", Tencent seems to have almost all games to have a "Yuan Dream style" publicity, indiscriminately bombarding pop-up advertisements with real money.
A friend of mine also caused his phone to freeze because of too many pop-up windows, what tactical nuclear advertising.
The game is doing well, let's admit it, but when will it change this mandatory advertising push.
Key points: The producer of "The Contract of Everything" has fierce rhetoric and will never do card drawing or selling values
Last week, TipWorks Studio, a subsidiary of Papergames, announced its new soul game "The Contract of Everything", which attracted a lot of attention. However, when players learned that the game was free-to-play and had a character replacement function, they couldn't help but raise some doubts. Many players are wondering, has the studio of "Pascal's Contract" forgotten its original intention and changed to a gacha game?
So this week, Yang Yang, the producer of "Contract of Everything", took the opportunity of a Q&A session at the Nuclear Fusion Game Carnival to explain the matter, and he was very excited to say, "This thing is disgusting, and I will never touch it... Absolutely not". (refers to gacha and sell values)
These words made players breathe a sigh of relief, but a new problem was born, how can a free game make money without a paid model of drawing cards and selling values? Whether to adopt the chapter system and sell story chapters, which has no possibility of success, or to prepare to develop a new model, or to give back directly to the players and sit back and eat the old paper.
Perhaps compared to focusing on game development, how to make money is also a big problem for "Contract of Everything".
Highlights: Tokyo Game Show Opening "Monster Hunter: Wilds" officially announced its release date
The Tokyo Game Show, one of the world's three major game shows, officially opened this week, and according to official statistics, there are 979 exhibitors and 2,299 games in the exhibition, the largest number of exhibitors and booths in history.
This time, many new works have been unveiled on TGS and have come up with a trial, such as the "Monster Hunter: Wilds" that players are looking forward to has come up with a trial version on TGS, although some brothers said that the frame rate optimization is not good after experiencing it, but the game is still okay.
And just one day before TGS, Monster Hunter: Wildlands announced that the game's official release date was February 28, 25, and pre-orders were opened.
There are also a large number of domestic game manufacturers who have participated in the exhibition, such as "Dark Zone Breakout: Infinite", "Shadow Blade Zero", "Limit Solving Machine", "Endless Dream Return", "Fate Trigger: The Novita", "Infinite Warmth", "Different Ring", "Double Helix" and other works have participated in TGS, and most of the games have provided fresh trials.
In addition, after returning from the exhibition, "Infinite Warmth" will start a new test on October 8, and interested players can try it.
Funnily enough, Ubisoft quietly canceled TGS's participation this time, originally Ubisoft was going to introduce the upcoming "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" here, but now not only the game was postponed, but the exhibition was also canceled.
To be honest, as for why it was canceled, everyone knows it, is it possible to really go on stage to demonstrate the black samurai protagonist, and the booth will not be lifted for you.
【Global Hot Spots】
Highlights: In September, 109 domestic games were approved Tencent and NetEase have all passed the review
On September 27, the National Press and Publication Administration issued the 9th domestic online game version number in 2024.
A total of 109 games in this batch have obtained game version numbers, including 102 mobile games (including 53 mobile casual puzzle games), 5 mobile + client games, 1 client game, and 1 client + game console (Nintendo Switch) game.
The games approved this time include Tencent's "Hunting", NetEase's "Open Space", Xishanju's "Swordsman Love · Zero", Sanqi Mutual Entertainment's "Douluo Continent: Fingertip Trial", "Beast Battlefield", "Adventure to Beat the Evil Dragon", 4399 "Gray", greedy "Kingdom Crisis", Zen Tour "Tata Garden", Zhongqingbao's "Gyro Planet", "Let's Play Chess", "Wandering the Sky and Finding the Way", "Tenants Please Stay" and so on.
Key points: "Jeopardy Zero" has been reformed! Gameplay such as "Walk the Grid" has been greatly optimized
This week, miHoYo's action game Jeopardy Zero ushered in version 1.2, in which the game planning also listened to players' feedback and comprehensively optimized uncomfortable gameplay such as "walking grid".
This time, the optimization part is very extensive, including the missing reward for exploring the future after clearing the customs, 2400 points of reserve power, double material drops, the number of additional challenges in the weekly book, no longer adding grid gameplay to the main story, and the pure enjoyment of abyss combat without taking the grid, etc., which almost covers most of the content complained about by players in the open beta version.
In addition, in the "Planning Face-to-Face" planned and released by "Jeopardy Zero", the game planner said that the relationship between noise value and finishing skills will be adjusted in the future, and the relationship between the noise value and finishing skills will be changed from the common use of the whole team to a separate energy. Other subsequent improvements include the reverse cut function on mobile, increasing enemy types, optimizing enemy locking, optimizing the scoring mechanism, and making adjustments to agent dating interactions.
I have to say that after experiencing doubts, you can listen to the player's suggestions and immediately make adjustments to the game, which is much stronger than a certain two-word game.
Key points: Hearthstone is still being repaired
Blizzard's heavyweight IP "Hearthstone" officially returned this week, but there were serious server problems after the launch of the server.
This accident is commonly known as the "Hearthstone Siege", people from the outside can't get in, and people inside can't match.
Fortunately, Hearthstone has a good attitude, and immediately repairs, apologizes, and gives away 10 packs of one-click triple for nothing. At present, the matchmaking speed has improved a lot, and I just hope that the server can be repaired quickly.
Key points: Fraudulent manufacturers launch new crowdfunding games, and there are still people involved
Hailed as the biggest scam in the gaming industry for 23 years, "Eve of the Catastrophe" is back!
This week, Fntastic, the developer of "On the Eve of the Catastrophe", tweeted that "everyone deserves a second chance", and after a brief apology for "The Eve of the Catastrophe", they immediately announced a new game called "Escape from the Factory" with a crowdfunding link with a crowdfunding goal of $15,567.
Dr. X took a look and saw that they had received $416 from 16 supporters, and they were about to make up a fraction.
can be deceived for the second time, these 16 friends more or less deserve something.
Key points: Recasting the classic blood to rekindle the new server "Hui Fengfu" in "Decisive Battle of Xuanyuan"
Carefully outlining the vastness and magnificence of Chinese mythology, at 18:00 on September 24th, "Decisive Battle of Xuanyuan" will be permanently folded and the new server [Hui Fengfu] will be opened.
