Gameplay aspect
EA summarizes the reasons for the failure of Battlefield 2042, throwing the pot Halo: Infinity and the player's computer
Recently, the number of players in Battlefield 2042 has broken through the low value, and according to Steam data, the number of players is less than 3,000.
In response, EA acknowledged the failure of the battlefield 2042 release in an internal web conference call and analyzed and summarized the reasons for the failure, and the EA's COO listed several reasons for the failure of the game, among which the most dissatisfied reasons for players include:
1. Halo: Infinity was released
Second, the player configuration is not OK
EA stressed that "first of all, the initial feedback of Battlefield 2042 was good, but the release of Halo: Infinity broke this situation, because Halo: Infinity was very well polished, but Battlefield 2042 had some bugs that players could not accept; secondly, the game received so many bad reviews because the player's screen settings were too high."
As soon as this remark came out, it instantly ignited the emotions of netizens, who said that the reason for the failure of "Battlefield 2042" was due to the problem of internal development of the game, the quality of the problem, and what about "Halo: Infinity". This is like a classmate who said that his grades were poor because the pen was not easy to use, the classmates were too strong, and the problems were too difficult.
This time EA offended the player over and over again, and now the comment area of the extranet is full of condemnation, and the developers of "Battlefield 2042" said that due to the unfriendly comment area of reddit, the developers of "Battlefield 2042" will no longer participate in the relevant discussions.
Cyberpunk 2077 Sub-Era Version 1.5 Patch Update
After a year and a half, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally updated the sub-era version, this time no longer focusing on bug fixes, but substantively bringing new content to the game.
The first is the addition of new content, in this update players can add 4 apartments, only a one-time payment, you can own it permanently. In addition, these apartments have additional gameplay, in addition to the addition of "Jack's Wine", players can buy alcohol and put it in a backpack, which will reduce the movement speed by 10% and the accuracy of weapons by 50%.
Secondly, the image expression has been improved, whether it is color, or the reflection effect has a more prominent expressiveness, but the picture of "chasing light mode" is limited to 30 frames.
Finally, the player found a change in the value of the weapon, although in the update description, the CDRP did not disclose that the weapon value will change, but some players found that multiple legendary level plug-ins can not be repeatedly stacked, the number has been reduced, and the critical hit brought by the character's skill point is also weakened. The default damage of level 1 is reduced by 50%, and the critical hits of other weapons are correspondingly weakened.
Vendor-wise
Ubisoft talks about acquisitions and remains independent
Recently, there has been a lot of noise about the acquisition of game companies, whether it is Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard or Sony's acquisition of Bungie, which has attracted everyone's attention.
Recently, at the latest Ubisoft financial report meeting, the Ubisoft CEO used Microsoft's acquisition of Blizzard to show everyone the current situation of Ubisoft, according to him, Ubisoft has a large number of popular IP, if there is an acquisition, the board of directors will review from the interest side.
For this remark, is it implied that Microsoft can also carry out plans to acquire Ubisoft, but the price must be discussed, and the independence after the acquisition must be guaranteed. However, Microsoft is not stupid, now Ubisoft's market value has dropped sharply, its game IP reputation is also deteriorating, the value is not worth acquiring, how much acquisition to spend depends on Microsoft's decision.
