Chapter 1453: Thousands of Blood Letters to Retain Yu Fei! (Add More Monthly Tickets!)
"Secondly, an engaging plot."
"It has to be said that the plot is a huge plus point of "Ghost General 2". It not only fully presents the plot part that is difficult to show in "Ghost General 1", but also makes the entire IP more complete and valuable. It also makes the PVE part of the game more fun and more attractive to players.”
"Many general settings and plot content in the game make people feel uncontrollable, and at the same time feel that it is quite reasonable in the context of this story."
"For example, in the battle of Chibi, first, Pang Tong, the blood of the Phoenix, offered advice to transform Cao Cao's magic warship; then Zhuge Liang took advantage of the east wind at Qixingtai, and the missiles washed the ground; finally, Zhou Yu, the solitary shadow sword hero, chased him down and was stopped by the demonized Xu Chu , and Guan Yu, the dragon martial sage, intercepted Cao Cao on Huarong Road..."
"The stories are all adapted from history and novels, but they make people feel that the logic is very consistent, and there is even a sense of black humor."
"It turns out that Zhuge Liang didn't borrow the Dongfeng, but the Dongfeng missile; it turns out that Cao Cao adopted Pang Tong's strategy because the Phoenix blood can indeed greatly strengthen the defense and power of the magic warship, but Pang Tong deliberately concealed that the Phoenix blood would be destroyed by the power of flames." The things that inspired... From this point of view, Cao Cao's defeat in the Battle of Chibi was not wronged, he was not demoted, it's not that Cao Jun didn't work hard, but Sun Liu is as high as it is!"
"These plots make people sigh, the creator of the IP "Ghost General" is really imaginative!"
"Of course, we must also see the important role played by the chief designer Yu Fei. Because "Ghost General 1" is just a card game, the original version didn't have many descriptions of generals at all, only a set of card images ; It is the current head of the Chinese website of the end, Ma Yanyu, who added a story background to it. But even so, the story background is still relatively simple.”
"Yu Fei, as an excellent author of online novels, expanded the simple background of the story, and perfectly combined historical allusions, magic reform background and general skills, which is why he has such a fascinating plot. process!"
"On this point, Yu Fei, the chief designer, has made great contributions. It also shows that Mr. Pei has a sharp eye and has not chosen the wrong person!"
"Looking back now, what is missing in "Ghost General 2"? Is it a professional design concept? Obviously not, because the Tenda game department is the most elite game design team. Other ordinary game companies will serve as the chief designer and take charge of their own. In this case, even if Yu Fei doesn’t care about anything, these old designers can perform their own duties and do a good job of the basic content of the game.”
"But in terms of plot design, Yu Fei is unique and irreplaceable!"
"He has shown good potential during the development of the DLC of "Eternal Reincarnation". Writing novels and designing game plots are completely different things, but he happens to be good at both! Mr. Pei is obviously also motivated by this aspect For this reason, he insisted on letting him be the chief designer to develop "Ghost General 2", because the plot is precisely the finishing touch of this game and the key to breaking the circle!"
"Finally, just the right simple operation mode and clearance mechanism."
"The simple operation mode not only simplifies the player's trick-making operation, but also retains the basic fun of trick-making."
"If you just keep pressing the AB button, the computer will automatically combo, then the player will become a ruthless dot connecter, will not improve their skills at all, and will not experience the fun of fighting games."
"Although the simple trick-making mode still retains a certain threshold for getting started, it also allows players who persevere to feel the fun that is unique to fighting games. When the Qixingtai borrowed the east wind, I personally rubbed the kind of super-killing Feeling, isn’t it cool? This is a joy that can never be experienced in a brainless mode that only presses the AB button.”
"And this simple operation mode is paired with the BOSS battle clearance mechanism in the game. It doesn't matter if you are handicapped, as long as you interact with the map mechanism honestly, you can still win the BOSS. This official skipping mechanism , is the legendary 'Boss Pei's Mercy', which maximizes the fun of the game for players with handicapped hands, and at the same time ensures the possibility of the game breaking the circle."
"Finally, it is the impact on the environment."
"For this point, we should not only look at the game "Ghost General 2", but also look at other games of Tenda Group."
"Everyone should have noticed that in recent months, Tenda games have appeared like a blowout. Within half a year, Tenda's game department released "Eternal Fall in Reincarnation" and "Ghost General 2". Driving”, and Chixing Studio made “Real Estate Agency Simulator”. In addition, I also heard that Tenda sent a designer to jointly develop a new project with Tianhuo Studio, which has also been developed and will be launched soon.”
"why is that?"
"Some people may say that Tenda is highly efficient. But the point is that Chixing Studio is not a subsidiary of Tenda, let alone Tianhuo Studio. It is a pure partnership with Tenda."
"In fact, Pei has always been very generous in distributing his ideas to these studios to guide them in game development!"
"This is enough to show that Mr. Pei is no longer satisfied with Tenda's own development of games. Because no matter how Tenda expands, the team will be limited after all, and the development speed will not be so fast."
"However, if we can cooperate with other domestic excellent game design teams while ensuring the game quality is excellent and the game direction is not deviated, then we can turn these ideas into real games faster and bring more games to players. Excellent game work."
"Not only that, Tenda's design philosophy will also have an impact on these companies, which will gradually affect the atmosphere of the entire domestic game industry."
"Chixing Studio is a good example: it is a company specializing in VR games. Although the person in charge has experience working in Tenda Games, Tenda does not have absolute control over it, only the right to make suggestions. Chixing Designers on the studio's core team were basically rehired as well."
"However, the game made by Chixing Studio is still in the same style as Tenda Games. It can be said to be authentic without any deviation!"
"This is enough to show that Mr. Pei is very selective when choosing partners; Mr. Pei's game design philosophy is extremely contagious."
"Mr. Pei is consciously assigning some projects that are less difficult and easy to make money to the cooperative studios. On the one hand, it is to develop more works at the same time and save time; on the other hand, it is also to influence and guide these studios. , to correct their wrong game design concepts in the past.”
"Such as "Animal Island VR", "Real Estate Agency Simulator", and the new project of Tianhuo Studio are all of this kind."
"And for those projects that are extremely difficult and risky, such as "Mission and Choice" and "Ghost General 2", Mr. Pei will directly hand them over to the ace army under him, that is, the Tenda game department to gnaw hard on!"
"So, everyone, don't laugh at the sales and influence of "Ghost General 2" as inferior to "Real Estate Agency Simulator" and "Safe and Civilized Driving". This is because they are not on the same track from the very beginning!"
"Okay, that's all for today's analysis. After watching this video, do you still think "Ghost General 2" is a failed game? Will you still judge heroes only by sales volume?"
"I hope that, as a rational and tasteful player, I will not be so narrow-minded, focusing on sales and profits. If you only focus on making money, then compared with GOG, all games are rubbish and have no meaning of existence. .”
"We should learn to use more dimensions to observe and analyze the game, as well as the meaning of this game."
"Finally, I want to say, "Ghost General 2" is really fun! Many players don't touch it once they see it as a fighting game. This is obviously a loss."
"Many people think, oops, I have never touched fighting games. How can I play without the foundation? On the contrary, it is precisely because you have never touched fighting games before that you should play "Ghost General 2" because it is The best entry option for you to get started with fighting games!"
""Ghost General 2" has not been released for a long time, and it is still too early to make a final conclusion. Please be patient and let the sales fly for a while. I believe that smart and tolerant players will definitely give it an objective, fair and comprehensive review. evaluate!"
"In addition, I have a bold prediction: Don't have too many prejudices against Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group. Since Mr. Pei is willing to cooperate and has sent a designer, then this new game will most likely be played by Tenda. It is a game full of flavor, and it is also a game worth looking forward to, let us wait and see!"
"I am Qiao Laoshi who has returned from suffering and has been reborn. I wish all viewers and fathers a happy Chinese New Year in advance. See you next time!"
...
After watching the video, Yu Fei opened his mouth slightly, unable to close it for a long time.
His face was full of shock.
So... is that the case?
"Ghost General 2" seems ordinary, but there are so many ways behind it?
Qiao Laoshi was right, he was indeed a small person.
As the main designer of this game, Yu Fei really only paid attention to its sales and popularity, but didn't see anything deeper, and he never figured out why Mr. Pei insisted on making a fighting game.
Although it is not sure whether the content of Qiao Laoshi's analysis is the whole motive of Mr. Pei, but at least it is the most reasonable explanation that Yu Fei has seen so far.
The reason why Mr. Pei has repeatedly kept him is obvious: Tengda has no shortage of game design talents; but Tengda still lacks people like him who can make the game's plot to the extreme and make it a shining point.
Yu Fei couldn't help being a little surprised: "Could it be that, for the project "Ghost General 2", not only am I not at fault, but I have made great contributions?"
He opened the Weibo that he posted before again, and found that there were already a lot of comments underneath, and they were all trying to persuade him!
It can be seen that many of them came from Qiao Laoshi's video.
"Ah? You can't leave! The poor sales of "Ghost General 2" is a problem with the game category. It has not yet begun to break the circle. Please wait patiently! You have done a good job in terms of plot, Qian Don't belittle yourself!"
"That's right, Mr. Pei has high hopes for you, and we players also hope that you can stay!"
"Look, the chief designer's painstaking efforts have not been rewarded, and they are planning to leave. Why don't you buy "Ghost General 2" to boost sales? Don't let him bleed and cry!"
"Thousands of blood, let Yu Fei continue to be the chief planner of Tengda Games!"
This made Yu Fei a little embarrassed.
Originally, he wanted to create some pressure from the public opinion, to make public what he was going to leave, so that President Pei agreed to his resignation request.
But I never imagined how it turned out like this!
If I continue to insist on resigning, it will be inappropriate!
