MTL - I Develop Battlefield To Drive Global Players Crazy-Chapter 134

After determining the goal, Gabe Newell also set off for France after a day off.

The acquisition is still very smooth, with a sincere offer, coupled with the brand of Nebula Games.

It was not even used for three days, and the relevant contract had already been signed.

Of course, this is also related to Nebula Games expressing its willingness to take on the debt of the other party, and there is not much money anyway.

As for the brand name, the other party has no opinion. After all, the original brand has no long history and glory.

Even switching to Nebula games gave them a sense of achievement and glory.

Clean up debts, review past financial statements, and perform basic data integration on the side of the console company.

but!

As the current top game manufacturer, although Nebula Games is not a listed company, it does not need to publicize financial content.

But his every move is still being watched by many players and the media.

Although the acquisition of a handheld manufacturer this time was relatively low-key, it was discovered and reported by some media.

Nebula Games, acquiring a handheld?

‘Fuck, Nebula Games acquired a handheld company? Is this for a handheld? ’

‘No way, who still plays the old antique handheld console! ’

'I rely on it, Mr. Chen doesn't make games, what handheld consoles are you buying! ? ’

･･･････････････････････････････

'Shouldn't it be? I don't feel what's wrong with the handheld at all! And the configuration of this handheld can be compared with PC and VR! ’

'Then why did Mr. Chen buy the handheld company? It's impossible to take more money for fun, right? ’

'Who can say for sure? Maybe it's just how capricious the money is! ’

'That's right, games that can be played on handheld devices can't be played on mobile phones? ’

Players had some surprising discussions, which also made many game manufacturers in the industry feel puzzled.

Nebula Games acquires handhelds?

What is this for?

Make a handheld?

But the handheld is not the same as the game!

For these, Chen Xu and Nebula Games did not make any refutation or explanation.

but!

Just as the speculations in the game circle intensified, an official blog post from Nebula Games and Chen Xu instantly shifted the focus of the entire game circle.

.........

Here's a promotional message, along with an original painting.

[Modu International Electronic Entertainment Exhibition, see you! 】

A simple sentence, but the original painting of the picture is what makes all players excited.

It was a world shrouded in darkness. At the end of the empty rift valley, the blood-red sun in the sky was covered with darkness, forming a bizarre landscape of total solar eclipse.

In the distance, a huge beam of light connected to the sun at the end of the rift.

In the entire open rift valley, there are all broken weapons and broken armor.

Like the end of the world, the blood-red sun covered in darkness seemed to be a flame that was about to go out.

And in the close-up, on the edge of a cliff.

A knight in full armor, half-kneeling in front of a bonfire, grabbed a long sword in his right hand, and clenched his left fist out parallel to his chest, as if praying for something.

As for the bonfire, the most eye-catching thing was the spiral sword standing in the flames.

With the empty and dark broken world, all players involuntarily got goosebumps.

Desolate, vast, lonely, epic, and dark!

This is the first impression this original painting brings to all players.

But what excites players even more is that just from this original painting, they thought of an old game from Nebula Games:

"Ayrdon Circle"!

A world of darkness and despair, a vast and desolate loneliness, a majestic epic.

There is also this knight-style shape, as well as the bonfire and spiral sword similar to the save point, the taste is simply too strong! people.

Chapter 190 completely subverts cognition

Regarding the deployment of handheld content, Chen Xu didn't really want to let players focus on this piece too early.

So the best way is, as Price said in Call of Duty.

If you want to put out the flames, create another big explosion next to the flames.

By the way, I just took this opportunity to publicize and warm up the international electronic entertainment exhibition in Magic Capital.

After all, this time, their Nebula game is responsible for their appearance.

Therefore, in the warm-up publicity, Chen Xu did not plan to do this, as before.

Instead, let players pay attention to "Dark Souls" as much as possible and pay attention to the exhibition along the way.

'Shut up! Family, I'm dying! ’

‘Epic sense, what is epic sense! You can feel it just by looking at this original painting! ’

'I'm really impressed with the performance of this long and short shot! ’

‘Do the family have a feeling that this original painting has a feeling of deja vu! ’

‘+1, you’re not the only one who feels it, the art style of “Ayrden Circle” is so similar! ' "May Four Seven"

‘Three years! It's been three years! Do you know how I spent the past three years, old thief? Do you know how miserable I am! ’

'Don't be miserable! Brother upstairs, can you unbind the account of the Wonderland Mall and say this again, you have 500 hours of monster hunting, 1000 hours of Call of Duty, 200 hours of Grand Theft Auto, you have been happier than anyone else in the past three years ! ’

'This epic thick feel is simply amazing! ’

'Everyone don't milk first, is it still not a word now? ’

'It's so handsome! Doomsday atmosphere! ’

‘…’

Just as Chen Xu thought, with the announcement of the original painting and the new game news, players' attention was instantly diverted.

Compared with the handheld consoles that feel like tears of the times, it is obvious that the new work of Nebula Games is more attractive to players.

Not to mention that from this original painting, they felt the style of the original "Ayrden Circle".

In the past three years, it is not that no game makers have launched games in the style of the French Ring.

But none of them were successful, mainly because of the taste, which is really difficult for players to feel.

The fragmented plot, the epic and magnificent world view background, and the level and BOSS design that are obviously cruel, but they can't help but challenge themselves again and again.

For players, they are completely immersed in the ecstasy of Nebula Games and the new work of the old thief.

However, for the major manufacturers in the game industry, they are not only concerned about the new works of Nebula Games.

Instead, it seems to have been forgotten by players, this time Nebula Games acquired the handheld.

Want to cover up.

Ordinary players don't feel much, but for game manufacturers, they clearly feel some differences.

Although Nebula Games often acquires some studios in the industry and accumulates technical heritage as its subsidiaries.

But this time, the acquisition of the handheld company is a bit uncharacteristic, and it is not even released sooner or later. Why did the news of the new game come out after Nebula Games acquired the handheld company?

coincide?

It's completely unbelievable to them anyway.

But what can Nebula Games do to acquire a handheld company?

It's nothing more than a handheld console, but is there really a market for this thing?

I'm afraid it's just a toy, right?

For a while, people in the industry were also very puzzled and uncomfortable.

Obviously, I feel that Chen Xu's Nebula game is doing something again, but I just can't think of any possibility. This feels like a collapse!

 …

I don't know at all, because my own operations have already made friends in the industry tangled and collapsed.

Chen Xu was chatting with Chong Iwata, the person in charge of the handheld company, about the handheld.

A person who is very obsessed with gaming hardware is also a pure person.

After learning about the contact, Chen Xu was also a little surprised and delighted.

But it was also relieved. If it weren't for this, the other party obviously couldn't make a loan from the bank and then develop a new handheld computer.

"Mr. Chen, can we continue the handheld business?"

Although there was speculation in his heart, Iwata Chong still had some expectations.

"Of course, otherwise why would I buy you? The goal of Nebula Games is to make the best handheld in the world!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

"But before that, Iwata, how do you think the handheld should attract players to buy it?" Looking at Iwata Chong, who was excited when he got the answer, the same Chen Xu also asked a question, which was also an exam.

Obviously, Iwata Chong also realized this, his brows furrowed tightly, thinking.

After a while, he gave his answer and opinion.

"Features and positioning, and price!"

This is a panacea answer, but it is also the most perfect answer.

"That's right, the features, positioning and price!" Chen Xu nodded in agreement.

"A handheld needs to have its own characteristics to distinguish it from mobile phones, because mobile phones are the biggest competitors of handhelds."

Compared with VR and PC, the feature of handheld is portability.

But compared with mobile phones, this point is crushed again.

Because you are more portable, can you compare to a mobile phone?

Obviously impossible to compare.

Therefore, a handheld console has the portability that PC and VR do not have, but also has a positive experience that is completely different from that of mobile phones.

The second is the characteristics.

You can play games that cannot be played on mobile phones, and you can play VR and PC masterpieces on handhelds.

Let players who are not satisfied with the mobile glass rolling experience and have requirements for the gaming experience reap happiness.

At the same time, there must be functions that cannot be achieved by mobile phones, PCs and VR. This is the feature of the product, which is the so-called irreplaceability......

And the final price is straightforward.

Because the handheld is, to put it bluntly, a toy in the final analysis.

Its irreplaceability is only relative.

When the price is too expensive, then this irreplaceable property is also infinitely compressed.

This is why, whether it is a parallel world or a previous life.

There is no reason for high-end game consoles and handheld consoles, and even the legend of the previous home console PS2 started with that $299.

"Next, you can take a look at this design concept draft." Chen Xu smiled, took out a concept draft from the drawer and handed it to Iwata Chong.

The other party has also signed a confidentiality and non-compete agreement in advance, and will still serve as the executive president of Nebula Handheld Company.

With excitement and excitement, Iwata Chong opened the first page of the plan, which read the code name of the new handheld project plan: NS

N refers to NebulaGame, which is Nebula Game.
