"Only so few players in the world have cleared the level? It's been almost three days."

Looking at the big data in the background, Yang Chen sat on the chair and muttered.

In the conference room of Xingyun Games, Wang Yaliang, who was sitting next to him playing with steel eggs, couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this.

Why are there so few players who have cleared the level? Don't you have points in your heart?

As for Wang Yaliang's little moves, Yang Chen naturally didn't see them.

However, there are not many players who have actually cleared the level, because as of now, the top 10,000 places on the PC platform have been completed by the players.

Although the game is very scary, never underestimate the player, and the player has his own tricks against you, and they don't have to experience the original "Resident Evil 5".

For example, use some physical cheating methods, turn off all the background music of the game, and then play various funny songs.

But what Yang Chen is concerned about is that the total number of clearances of the players is really low.

It only accounts for 2% of all players. Although this is related to the fact that the game has only been launched for less than three days, the game's clearance content is actually not that long, and the entire process from beginning to end is only about 8 hours.

This is also a characteristic of horror games. The game time is not too long. Generally, 12 hours of game time for large-scale horror games is almost the upper limit.

According to the data, a large part of the players didn't even experience the happy family having dinner together, and they were persuaded to quit at the scene of the domestic violence between Ethan and Mia.

After that, every BOSS level can see a big dive in the number of players.

Of course, Yang Chen reckoned that the main reason for this situation might be that the game was free.

Including the previous "Escape", "Silent Hill" and "Resident Evil 2", the game clearance rate in the early stage is actually much higher than that of "Resident Evil 5", especially "Silent Hill" which has reward linkage ".

In terms of horror alone, in "Resident Evil 5", Yang Chen referred to some elements of "Escape" and "Silent Hill", and even added some elements of the dream memory such as the "Zero" series, but its essence It's actually the "Resident Evil" series.

For example, in the game, the player advances through decryption,

There will be a BOSS battle, and the player has many lethal weapons, such as pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, and even grenade launchers in the later stage, and submachine guns in subsequent levels.

Of course, they still have a common feature, that is, they are not unlimited for players to use, all resources are deducted, and you will never be allowed to complete "Left 4 Dead" with "Resident Evil".

"Sure enough! They don't necessarily know how to play the game they bought with their own money, let alone we give it away for free?" Yang Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

I bought it with my own money, and some players just don't play because of fear.

But there will always be some players who think that since they have already spent money to buy it, isn't it a waste not to play?

But there is no such thing as an official gift, anyway, it’s all for free.

And although the benefits given are super awesome, it can be said that buying games can save thousands of dollars at most, but as long as I can bear it enough, you will never want to take a penny out of my pocket.

This has led to some players who are not ready to play "Resident Evil 5" and are not ready to pass the level at all.

"Then what can you do? Can you still force the player with a knife? You haven't cleared the level yourself." Wang Yaliang patted Gangdan's head and complained to Yang Chen.

Hearing this, Yang Chen was unhappy: "Why didn't I clear the level? I participated in the whole game!"

This is true, how could I not pass the level!

I have already played in the dream memory, and I also participated in the whole process of the middle game!

"I'm talking about the VR mode. If you want to play with me, you don't want to play." Wang Yaliang who was next to him glanced at Yang Chen.

Eyes widened, Yang Chen paused before saying speechlessly: "Can VR mode be the same as normal mode? And what do you mean playing with you? What do you mean watching me play! Why don't you also play by yourself!"

"I'm afraid!" Wang Yaliang said confidently.

"You're afraid, so I'm not afraid?" Yang Chen also said angrily.

What a mess!

How scary is the VR mode!

Although he participated in the whole process of making the game, and the plot of the game is very clear in the dream memory, but this does not mean that he is not afraid!

Moreover, compared with the finished products of Dream Memory, the screen realism of the games produced by Nebula Games can be said to be even higher. Coupled with the feeling of VR mode, even if he knows the plot of the game, he will be afraid!

"But although we can't use a knife to force players to play, we can use cheese to attract players to play. It just so happens that games such as "League of Legends" and "Overwatch" also have new version update activities recently, and there will be a limited skin directly Linkage, and by the way, some old games also have some character service DLC, which can be regarded as gaining popularity." Yang Chen thought for a while and said.

Such a good game is made and given to players for free, but they can't experience the sincerity of Xingyun Games and him if they don't play it, what a pity and how sad it is!

And now that the "Resident Evil" series has reached the fifth step, and it just so happens that the movie is about to be launched, it should be reasonable to launch limited welfare activities appropriately.

"However, if the player is allowed to clear the level, this condition feels a bit harsh. Just set it to get through one-third of the plot. A new achievement will be updated later, and the plot of "Resident Evil 5" will also be revealed by then. , and may attract a group of plot-oriented players to continue playing.”

Hearing Yang Chen's muttering beside him, Wang Yaliang put down the work at hand, and looked at Yang Chen: "If the players hear your words, they will beat you to death."

"Why kill me? I'm giving players benefits. I don't even give the game away for free. I also give discount codes and game skins. If it weren't for our family's great business, we would almost go bankrupt!" Yang Chen's eyes widened. , with an innocent expression on his face.

…………

As a horror game, it can last for a few days to maintain its popularity. The most important thing is "Resident Evil" and the name of Nebula Games. Of course, free gift is also very important.

About how scary "Resident Evil 5" is, most players basically have a cognition, and there is also a common cognition, that is, don't play the VR version with cheap hands.

Players who have already experienced the game said that the PC version can actually be played after getting used to it, but if the VR version is not particularly strong, don’t touch it.

Because it is so realistic!

However, although there are still many clearances, players who have adapted said that "Resident Evil 5" is scary at the beginning, and after getting familiar with some monsters and scary places in it, the sense of fear is greatly reduced.

But the vast majority of players said that you can say whatever you want, and I will lose if I play.

This kind of persistence until the latest welfare announcement of Nebula Games is released.
