The video ga "Elent World," advertised as an open-world ga, received high praise but didn't translate into high sales.
On the other hand, "Uncharted," a ga with a linear path, achieved explosive sales, which led many ga designers to think.
Is "Elent World" not as good as "Uncharted"?
Not really. While "Uncharted" is indeed very impressive, "Elent World" isn't bad either. Otherwise, it wouldn't have received such high praise.
At the sa ti, many designers are focusing on open-world versus linear gas.
In the past two years, "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" have led many ga companies to focus on the open-world genre.
It seems like open-world has beco a key to success.
Many ga designers are starting to analyze.
What if "Elent World" had taken a linear approach instead of being open-world?
Allowing players to follow a single path, making the puzzle difficulty design easy at first and then harder.
Just like in "Monster Hunter: World," the early dragons are easy, but the difficulty suddenly increases with Diablos.
Many ga designers in the industry are discussing this.
But for players, while "Elent World" is good, they still prefer "Uncharted" because it's more fun to play.
And thanks to "Elent World" having elents of puzzles and adventure treasure hunting, it has rekindled so interest in "Uncharted."
It has also made many players look forward to what's next.
The golden city, Shangri-La, and the city of a thousand pillars, these legendary ruins have really gotten players interested.
And in this whole situation, Zeus, who got hurt, has finally made a decision.
That is to change partners.
For Zeus, "Elent World" was clearly a very painful failure.
Even though the ga quality was good and the reviews were good.
What's the point if it can't help the Zeus platform expand its territory?
For Zeus, its platform is definitely not the problem.
And the marketing was completely on point.
So where's the problem?
Without a doubt, it's Atari, the partner.
If the ga isn't good, then it's definitely your company's problem.
So, after discussion, the Zeus executives made a decision.
That is, don't put hope in third parties!
They have the technology, and they have the money!
The montum of "Uncharted" has passed, and the hype for "Elent World" is slowly fading.
At this ti, many players received a big piece of news.
That is, Zeus spent a lot of money to acquire FOW, a well-established European ga company, for $2.1 billion.
Of course, this acquisition obviously wasn't negotiated just now. In fact, Zeus has been in contact with various ga companies for a long ti.
And the failure of "Elent World" is a done deal, so Zeus doesn't need to waste any more ti on it.
At the sa ti, Zeus also announced a new project on its website, code-nad "dieval."
......
Players are discussing Zeus's big move in various ways.
After all, FOW is also a well-known ga company in the industry.
This ga company is known for its historical thes. As for its gas, what has always been criticized is that it's reluctant to spend money.
Patching and nding for another year. Unless absolutely necessary, the graphics never get updated.
This ti, being acquired by Zeus, players who like FOW aren't feeling sad. Instead, they're all cheering with excitent.
They've found a rich daddy! When FOW develops gas in the future, the graphics should finally improve, right?
On various forums in China, players are also discussing.
"This ti FOW is getting a major upgrade. It's found a rich owner."
"Yeah, I could never really get into this ga company's gas because the graphics were always outdated. Now I feel like I can look forward to them."
"Forget about FOW. Aren't you guys concerned about the progress of the 'Uncharted' DLC trilogy?"
"Nebula Gas has been making a lot of moves recently. The VR the has also been updated. It's just that Boss Lucas is a bit of a jerk!"
"Damn! That's right. The 'Outlast' the scene. I didn't turn on the clear-headed mode and I was so scared I almost peed my pants."
"So why did you have to go into the 'Outlast' the scene?"
"Speaking of which, is no one paying attention to Zeus's 'dieval' project?"
"It's just a code na with no details. What's there to care about? And NetDragon's 'Shadow Action: Communication Interrupted' is about to be released. But I'm more concerned about Boss Lucas. The DLC content for 'Uncharted' should be done soon, right?"
"You're thinking too much. Look at the official blog post just released! Boss Lucas and Nebula Gas are all on a team-building trip!"
Many players are discussing recent events in the video ga world online, but soon one topic beca the focus.
Many people were puzzled when they heard this news.
They all opened Lucas's official blog to take a look.
Lucas's official blog had just posted a new ssage ten minutes ago.
Compared to the usual ssages announcing new content, this one seed out of place.
'First stop: Florence, checking out the Florence Cathedral!'
Just a simple sentence, along with photos of Lucas, Rachel, Anna, Hector, Marcus, and other Nebula Gas core mbers, with the local landmark in the background.
Countless players were dumbfounded.
We all thought Boss Lucas was working hard to make gas, and the lack of news was because you were trying to release the 'Uncharted' trilogy DLC as soon as possible, or preparing for a new ga project, but you guys went on vacation!?
Lucas's official blog post imdiately confused many followers.
Is Nebula Gas a ga company or a travel agency!
