Chapter 263

From the very beginning, only Nebula games were inside, and some clues could be seen through the data.

It was soon derived that major game manufacturers also discovered this.

After all, “Titanfall” has attracted a lot of attention from the industry after the so-called “FPS was killed by Nebula Games”.

Moreover, the hot momentum when it went online, coupled with the skin setting of the Mecha Titan, can be said to make game manufacturers in the industry feel that maybe Nebula Games will make another big-selling FPS game.

But unexpectedly, the big sale did.

However, in the follow-up multiplayer mode operation, the retention of players in “Titanfall” is really not that good.

Including even the players in the game, actually felt this passage.

Although Chen Xu and his team optimized the matching rules, players were still able to match teammates with similar skills.

However, many players also found that it was different from the people who were matched in almost every game at the beginning.

Now, when the win rate is raised a little, it is often matched with players who have encountered before.

In this way, many players who like the game “Titanfall” have posted discussions on the official forum.

“Why do you feel that there are fewer people playing recently? I used to match different people, but now I occasionally match some players I met before.”

“I also feel that there are fewer and fewer people online in the friend list. Several good friends who have been hacked before have not been online for several days.”

“Me too, my friend with the most has been online three days ago.”

“Don’t make a fuss, okay? Fluctuations in the number of players are a normal thing. Isn’t the number of online players in “Rainbow Six: Siege” not at their peak?”

“That’s right, no matter how much, anyway, as long as someone plays the game, you can make up a game, and everyone’s skill level is not good enough?”

“Indeed, I often fight against the black with the basic friends in the group, and it is very happy to fight.”

For the number of users of “Titanfall”, in fact, for real players, they don’t care much.

After all, as long as it doesn’t affect their gaming experience, it doesn’t really make much difference whether there are more or fewer people playing.

But for the gaming industry, the impact is different.

When “Titanfall” exploded before, there were still many game makers ready to learn from it.

New FPS games including Big Goose and SIGA are also avoiding its edge.

But now it seems that the performance of “Titanfall” is far less than what they expected!

However, for the industry game manufacturers, they are also very puzzled.

In particular, Big Goose and SIGA, who were preparing to launch a new FPS multiplayer mode, were even more intimidated.

Is Titanfall a failure?

According to Nebula Games’ previous multiplayer FPS games, it is obvious that there is a lot of crotch pulling, and the number of players can only be said to be second-tier, or even the kind that may not yet exist.

It stands to reason that Big Goose Games and SIGA, which are competitors, should applaud.

But the key is the loss of users of “Titanfall”, which seems too strange to them.

Because this game is fundamentally praised by both players and the media.

Even on the forum, in fact, players who quit the pit also said that this is a good game.

But what’s wrong, they can’t say it themselves.

There is a bit of a typical applause but no audience.

Under such circumstances, how dare they prepare to launch a multiplayer PFS game?

And the industry forum also exploded.

“I have also experienced the multiplayer mode of “Titanfall”. Both the shooting feel and the action are very cool, but why is it slowly getting colder?”

(bibf) “It’s not so bad when it’s cold, it can only be said that it’s not popular, and the player base of Nebula Games is very large. If this is considered cool, there will be no bombing games.”

“It’s cool, mainly to compare it with the opening. After all, “Titanfall” is really a bursting opening.”

“Indeed, such a game can’t continue to be popular?”

“I feel that the market is still too diverted. Although FPS games are the most popular games, they can’t hold back many games of the same type!”

“I think I’m still being killed. To put it bluntly, “Titanfall” is actually the same way of annihilating Tuanjing. It just changed the skin and added the new element of Titan. After playing for a long time, players will feel the freshness. It’s natural to retreat.”

“The same, I think it’s the same reason, and it’s true from the cycle of player churn.”

“It feels like at least two years, or even longer, this FPS game pattern is estimated to be like this!”

…

Various discussions in the industry, and Nebula games.

At this time, Chen Xu was discussing the content of the new game with Qin Yi.

On the huge map, there are various scattered resources.

‘APEX Competition’ ‘Defender’ ‘Kill King’…

Banners similar to advertisements are distributed in various resource points.

This is a brand new battle royale game made with a lot of material from “Titanfall”.

So far, it is already at the end.

Regarding “APEX Heroes”, Chen Xu did not plan to prepare too many legendary heroes when it went online.

After all, compared with Rainbow Six, the apex of the highest three-man squad has much more choices for players.

As for the content of the game, it is also a map: Kings Canyon.

The Edge of the World and Mount Olympus will be released little by little with the subsequent versions and events, just like the legendary heroes.

As for the game mechanics, there is nothing that needs to be greatly improved, it is almost the balance of some firearms data.

After all, weapons such as mastiffs, peace, EVA8, auxiliary pistols and other weapons in the previous life of “apex heroes” had a very BT period, which also led to them being cut down and scrapped.

The rest is the combat mechanism. Chen Xu is not going to use the APEX hero mechanism at the beginning, but will add the “Evolution Shield” setting updated in the later version.

This can be said to be the most amazing setting in APEX Heroes, which was launched in the later update, and it also completely confirmed the setting of the characteristics of “APEX Heroes”.

Chapter 389 Peak Legend, APEX

It can be said that every successful battle royale in the previous life has its own characteristics.

For example, Fortnite, its biggest feature is construction and refurbishment, and its nonsensical and slightly absurd style.

The biggest feature of PUBG is social networking, slow-paced search and long-distance firefights in most cases, as long as you don’t deliberately find someone, you may not see an enemy in more than a dozen categories.

But also compared to other types of games, once this game loses its users, the speed will be much larger than other games.

Can these two battle royale games, they are both carriers of FPS games, carrying the style of their own games.

And “apex hero” is different. Although it is also a battle royale game, it is a pure FPS-game itself.

In particular, the addition of the evolution shield has perfected this.

Because the biggest feature of the evolution shield setting is that players can accumulate shield energy while causing damage to the enemy.

And once the energy is enough, the HP of the shield will increase by one level.

Secondly, unlike the body armor in PUBG, it only attenuates bullet damage. The shield in APEX can be recharged with batteries, and the player will not cause damage to the hero before breaking the shield.

This also means that the TTK (time to kill) of apex heroes is longer during the engagement session.

There will be no situation where the player will suddenly die while walking. No matter how powerful the enemy is, you will always have time and preparation to resist.

These settings also encourage players to exchange fire and plunder.

At the same time, the setting of legendary heroes has brought countless changes to the game.

 …

Because of “Titanfall”, Big Goose and SIGA also stopped the promotion of their multiplayer FPS games.

After all, even the multiplayer games of Nebula Games have this kind of situation, and the quality is not bad.

How can this make them take it lightly?

However, for Nebula Games, this already expected situation did not hinder Chen Xu’s pace.

As time progressed, the official Nebula Games released a concept poster.

The promotional image is very simple, with only three fully armed characters.

In the middle is a girl in black clothes. In the middle, she is half-squatting and making tactical movements. She holds a gun in her right hand, and a strange blue arc-like energy is faintly gathered in the palm of her left hand.

There are also two male characters standing beside the evil spirit.

The one on the right is wearing a sharp-mouthed gas mask similar to a medieval crow doctor, holding a submachine gun in one hand and a sharp dagger in the other, and a cold and cruel crow is standing on his shoulder.

On the left is a strong man in white heavy armor, holding a shotgun in one hand and a shield in the other, looking very safe.

Evil spirits, bloodhounds, Gibraltar, the small print just below explains the names of three legendary heroes.

At the same time, behind the three legends, there was a bright red flag, the color of blood on it, and a line of words clearly written: Apexlegends.

The moment they saw this poster released by Nebula Games, all players couldn’t sit still.

Although players do not know the origin of the three legends in the promotional picture.

But the four letters of ‘APEX’ are not familiar to them!

Because this “APEX” appeared in “Titanfall”.

The head of the mercenary at the time sent Cooper a small advertisement, but at that time, many players did not know what it meant.

After all, in “Titanfall”, there seems to be no mention of what APEX is.

But now, the answer is obvious.

･･･････････････････････････････

That’s the easter egg for the new game!

“It turns out that this ‘APEX’ is the old thief’s new game!”

“I’m going so is this a sequel?”

“My BT can finally be resurrected?”

“Not necessarily? After all, what is the legend of the peak, it’s not the fall of the Titans!”

“Hehe, you didn’t see that?”

“That is, what does the name of the game indicate? The name “Titanfall” implies the final fall of BT, but the new work “Legend of the Peak” means that BT is resurrected and Cooper has become a legend standing at the peak, I don’t understand it. you!”

…………………………..

“Can you explain it this way? Then explain it to me, what’s going on with the trio on this poster? Cooper’s shadow is gone!”

“Yes, and the three of them are not wearing helmets.”

“I feel like it should be a brand new plot game, right?”

“Not necessarily. I think it may be a multi-human FPS. Don’t you think this is a bit like “Rainbow Six: Siege”? These three groups correspond to various operators.”

“What game he is? I’ll definitely buy it as soon as the game comes out!”

Just a promotional image, “APEX Heroes” has aroused great interest among players, and a large number of players have heated discussions around this promotional image every day.

However, excitement returns to excitement. After all, at present, many players are just trying to make fun.

And it’s not long since the launch of “Titanfall”. At this time, Nebula Games is promoting it. When they want to come more, they just follow the same line, and it is convenient to use the popularity of “Titanfall” to save a warm-up fee.

But it is estimated that it will take some time until the game is actually launched.

But what they never expected was that it was the fourth day after Nebula Games released this promotional concept poster.

On Chen Xu’s official blog.

More big news is coming! people.

The three hundred and ninetieth chapter burst!

“Fuck! Promotional video! The meaning is coming soon!?”

“Shocked! The donkeys in the production team dare not be so fast!”

“Fuck, the old thief is invincible!”

“…”
