Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Diamond Game Forum, "Cross Fire" section.

"Why? Platinum is obviously biased. "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" can do competitions, but our "Cross Fire" can't?"

"Hehe, it's obviously just a matter of watching the dishes. A large part of the player base of "cs:go" is from Europe and the United States. Platinum is clearly the same as the previous Goose Factory. When you have money, you start to lick them."

"Brother, you've said it too well. Platinum had a fight with several game companies in Europe and America in order to be the engine of our Great Xia Kingdom. Chen from Platinum is always a very tough person. He certainly won't worship foreigners."

"Fart, people's hearts are in the belly. Now that Platinum Gold's company has grown, maybe that Chen Feng is going to emigrate to a foreign country. It's really disgusting."

"One thing to say, as a professional game designer, I want to say something fair for Mr. Chen here. "Cross Fire" is a VR game. It's really not easy to change it into an e-sports game. "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" It’s a computer game, and there have been many computer games that have been made into competitions before, so I think it’s no problem for Platinum to do so.”

"That's right, they didn't say no to the competition, they just didn't give a time for it."

"It's disgusting. To set up a mall in "Cross Fire", sell weapons, earn our money, and then go to "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" to do activities and give bonuses. Isn't this just taking money from our "Cross Fire" players? Money, to raise those anti-terrorism dogs?"

There are still a lot of accusations on the Internet about Platinum's conduct of the competition this time.

In this regard, Luo Zhonghao has nothing to do, he has already done the best within his ability.

If you really want to solve the problem, you can only make "Cross Fire", a VR competitive game.

Moreover, because of the pressure of this public opinion, the e-sports competition of "Cross Fire" must be more exciting, otherwise, the players will only be more dissatisfied.

Luo Zhonghao also informed Chen Feng immediately of the problems that occurred in the company. Who knew that Chen Feng on the other side was not only not worried, but said cheerfully: "Old Luo, don't worry, I have already thought about it." It’s time to start the “Cross Fire” game, and as for those online “Cross Fire” players who are psychologically unbalanced, just ignore them and let them spray it.”

Luo Zhonghao was helpless, with deep tiredness and worry in his voice: "Mr. Chen, they are not just talking about it in the forum, the ratings of the game are also plummeting, and many players even threatened to abandon the game and refund their money."

Luo Zhonghao's worries are also not unreasonable. The situation that Platinum Company is now encountering has never happened before.

Because the company often considers players, even if the company makes less money, it will try its best to let players enjoy a better game experience.

Therefore, players have always had good reviews of Platinum Company, but now, players are carrying out such attacks on the Internet, which really worries Luo Zhonghao.

After all, this is how the previous goose factory came to today step by step.

But Chen Feng's tone was still the same as before, even with a slight smile: "It's okay, if the players scold you, the popularity can be even higher. Don't worry, as long as the game is fun, the players won't run away." .”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Luo Zhonghao to say anything else, Chen Feng hung up the phone directly.

……

In fact, just as Chen Feng said, the core of the game is more important.

Although there is a lot of pressure from online public opinion, players criticize Platinum every day for being unfair and treating players of "Cross Fire" and "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" differently, but judging from the statistics, the number of players of "Cross Fire" is not. decreased, but continued to rise.

Indeed, the core of the game "Cross Fire" is relatively simple, with various modes and interesting gameplay, coupled with the upgrade of various equipment and weapons, it also brings a refreshing feeling of upgrading, so it is suitable for young people, or those who For players who like fast-paced coolness, the experience is very good.

So the players scolded and scolded, how to play every day, but still how to play.

After Chen Feng came back from vacation, he began to deal with the e-sports related matters of "Cross Fire".

Platinum Corporation, conference room.

Luo Zhonghao and other executives sat on both sides, discussing the matter of turning "Cross Fire" into a competition.

Luo Zhonghao pointed out: "Although "Cross Fire" is a VR game, we can also treat it as a computer game and play the game screen as a video. As for the lack of game experience caused by players watching videos, There's no need to worry about it too much."

Regarding Luo Zhonghao's point of view, several other executives felt that it was not very good.

What do players watch the game for?
Games like "League of Legends" and "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" are very competitive.

Therefore, the game modified from this kind of game can be more interesting and more exciting.

But what about "Cross Fire"?Its blasting mode is similar to that of "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive", and it is not as well balanced as "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive".

So what's the point of turning "Cross Fire" into an e-sports game? It's completely superfluous.

After all, most of the players who like to watch rigorous and exciting games don't know how to play "Cross Fire", and they all ran to play "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive".

The executives scrambled into a group, and they were not optimistic about the e-sports of "Cross Fire".

In their opinion, the announcement that there would be a professional competition for "Cross Fire" shouldn't have been made before.

At this moment, Chen Feng, who had been silent all this time, said, "I have a few ideas, you guys should discuss them and see if they work."

When Chen Feng spoke, all the executives stopped arguing and turned their attention to him.

He got up slowly and said: "My idea is that VR games must have the characteristics of VR games for competitions, so we set up a VR spectator suit.

After the start of the game, players can enter the VR viewing server and directly enter the scene as spectators, so that they can experience the players' games in person. "

This……

All the executives were stunned for a moment, and then another debate broke out.

"Yes, it is possible, but players have to enter the VR experience cabin to watch a game. This is too troublesome."

"Mr. Chen is amazing. This method is feasible. After changing it in this way, the players' viewing experience will definitely be very good."

"It is indeed feasible. In this way, the players can also compete in an environment they are familiar with. It is equivalent to the fact that the competitions held in reality are all held online. For the players in the game, watching the competition The experience is the same as watching the game offline, even watching the game from a close-up first-person perspective!"
