Chapter 448: Can I start qualifying?
After the annual game awards ceremony, Overwatch became more and more popular.
As the first free VR game in China, it has won the honor of Game of the Year. Overwatch has swept the entire VR end without stopping.
After the award ceremony, many designers of Imperial and Zen Interactive Entertainment were writing design concept drafts, hoping to create games that surpass "Overwatch".
"Overwatch is so popular. A game like this that is well-known and popular, and has been recognized by the Travel Commission. It seems that the only one in the past three years is Wolf Soul? The current trend of watching Overwatch is to surpass the dominance of Wolf Soul in the FPS game back then?"
"Now the domestic FPS games are basically "Wolf Soul", "Fire Assault" and "Overwatch" are in a three-legged position."
"But the biggest advantage of Overwatch is that it's free! Both of them cost more than 1,000 yuan to play. This one is free, and the threshold is too different!"
"It's okay. For those players who can afford the game cabin, "Wolf Soul" was discounted for a few hundred yuan, and they bought everything they wanted."
"The most important thing about "Overwatch" is very popular in VR Internet Cafes."
"Indeed, you can play directly in VR Internet Cafe, which is also a great advantage!"
"The main reason is that Overwatch is still in its development period. According to Chen Mo, the number of heroes in this game will reach 60 in the future, and there will definitely be qualifying matches and competitions in the future. It is possible to hold the World Finals like League of Legends, and the future prospects will be better!"
"Fortunately, Chen Mo has not yet started the qualifying and professional competitions, so we still have a chance."
"My design draft has been submitted. I don't know if I can stand out within the Imperial Dynasty. I hope I can get this project."
Many designers of Dichao Interactive Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment are writing design concept drafts, and they all want to use the creativity of Overwatch as a prototype to create a game that can approach or even surpass Overwatch.
This idea is actually very normal. When Chen Mo's previous life, when moba games became popular all over the world, there were many other moba games besides dota and lol. After the chicken-eating became popular, a large number of PC games and mobile games launched the battle royale mode.
And there are many of them that have achieved certain success.
It can be seen that in the game industry, there is no problem in copying, the key is to copy it well.
Many designers think that "League of Legends" can come from behind to defeat Cog because the game has faster update speed and better promotion methods, and has been optimized in all aspects.
Now all aspects of "Overwatch" are not perfect, especially the competitive model has not been launched. As long as they do it seriously, they can still come from behind.
Especially Dichao Interactive Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment, Lin Chaoxu and Liu Yuanfeng themselves are optimistic about the game mode of Overwatch, and both companies have successful FPS projects, so they are more handy when doing it.
After "Overwatch" won the annual game honor, the trend of the domestic game industry has also been silently deviated.
...
On the "Overwatch" forum, players were excited about "Overwatch" winning the award, and the calls for starting the qualifying competition were getting higher and higher.
"Overwatch is so popular now, hurry up and start the qualifying competition! What was Chen Mo thinking? At that time, the first version of "League of Legends" started the qualifying competition?"
"Warcraft seemed to be in the ladder mode as soon as the game came out."
"Maybe Chen Mo is considering it, letting everyone get familiar with the game mechanism first, and then start a qualifying match, so as to avoid the novice cheating?"
"Well, it makes sense! But the qualifying mechanism can be released first. If you are afraid that novices can cheat people, you can add proficiency restrictions."
"Go to Weibo to @ Chen Mo and let him hurry up and open the qualifying competition of "Overwatch". I want to climb directly to the strongest king!"
"That's right, I can show off so much without ranking points, so I can show off quickly!"
On Weibo and forum, many people @ Chen Mo asked him to update the version of Overwatch to start the qualifying competition.
After passing the two games of "Warcraft" and "League of Legends", players have long been very clear about Chen Mo's routine.
Especially for "League of Legends", the biggest pursuit of this game for many players is qualifying, and the rank has become a symbol of measuring a player's level, prompting players to constantly work hard to climb points.
Everyone knows that Overwatch will start the qualifying competition sooner or later. There is only one reason why it is not opened now: Chen Mo is too lazy!
So, many players are urging them.
Not long after, Chen Mo responded on Weibo.
"About the qualifying match: Due to busy affairs before the Spring Festival and relatively saturated work, many optimizations and changes may be postponed accordingly. Currently, there is a hidden scoring mechanism in Overwatch. High-level players will match players of the same high-level. At present, the winning rate of all players is basically floating around 50%. Therefore, even if there is no ranking mechanism, you can improve your level by constantly practicing. As for the hidden score, you will consider displaying it in the game in the future. Please be careful not to be impatient."
Chen Mo's words did not respond positively to the players' questions, but there were many hints.
Chen Mo did not clearly say when the qualifying match will be held, or even did not clearly say whether it will be held. He just said two points: First, the current work is saturated and a lot of content will be delayed; second, "Overwatch" has a hidden mechanism.
Players are all savoring the meaning of this Weibo post.
"Chen Mo said that business is busy? In other words, the qualifying competition will be played, but I just don't have time to do it now!"
"There is a hidden score mechanism? Does that mean that after the qualifying system comes out, everyone will directly match the hidden score to match the rankings and rank?"
"Hey? There is such a possibility! Chen Mo thought very thoughtfully. So, it doesn't matter how many days you're late. Now let's play it well first and give the hidden score a higher level. Then, Isn't it a pleasure to directly level the diamond or even higher?"
"It makes sense, then wait!"
This Weibo post dispelled the doubts of most players, and everyone continued to play happily.
...
In fact, Chen Mo's Weibo post is just to comfort the players who strongly demand to start the qualifying match. But in fact, Chen Mo did not make any promises at all, and he didn't even mention whether he would start the qualifying match.
In fact, if there is no other consideration, Chen Mo can now tell players that the qualifying match will not be played, because it will damage the life of Overwatch.
But Chen Mo can't say it now, because Emperor Chao Interactive Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment are both trying to copy Overwatch. If Chen Mo announces the incident that "Overwatch cannot be a qualifying match", it will definitely arouse their alertness and thus doubt the entire game mode.
Once they decide to slow down and wait and see for a while, and wait for a long time, the various disadvantages of Overwatch gradually become prominent, and they will come back to the taste.
Chapter completed!
