After the two-dimensional mobile game works such as "Original God", "Tomorrow's Ark", and "Battle Double Pamish" have proved the powerful kryptonite ability of two-dimensional players again and again, many big manufacturer mobile games have transformed into two-dimensional and tried to get a piece of it. However, whether it is Perfect World's "Magic Tower", NetEase's "Above the Black Tide", "The Book of Illusion", tencent's "White Night Aurora", it seems that they cannot create a second phenomenon-level mobile game work. Outside of the big factory, some start-up teams naturally want to drink soup, since the second dimension originated from Japanese animation culture, then the deep cultivation of the second dimension is naturally the most secure bottom card. However, a start-up team "uses too much force", the phenomenon-level mobile game has not yet been released, and the phenomenon-level public opinion accident is the first to occur.
Two-dimensional players are not "stupid people with a lot of money"
Two-dimensional players are often ridiculed as "people are stupid and have a lot of money", but the reason is that their "cooking power" for the character is even worse. Bearing a high premium for what you love is also a way to express your emotions. However, in the face of "cooking power" in the face of great right and wrong, the two-dimensional players can still carry the light and heavy, and the operational accident introduced today has become more and more intense.
In May 2021, a mobile game called "The End Of The End: Ino Beta" conducted a round of testing, and the game general direction chose the two-dimensional classification and chose the vertical deep ploughing mecha + beautiful girl route.
Pretty Girl and Mecha, which can be regarded as a more classic combination of Japanese two-dimensional anime culture, the introduction of a full-screen bullet screen similar to the Oriental Project can indeed make players adrenaline soar and get a better experience from the game. With a high degree of completion and the classic Lone Gunner mode game design, "The Final Front: Inobeta" has won 400,000 reservations after its debut, which can be described as a bright future.
However, in a forum, the screenshots exposed by players have cast a shadow on this two-dimensional small explosion.
In the background of the game, the witch is unable to leave the shrine, and as the shrine is destroyed, the witch joins the protagonist's journey. However, the shrine where the witch is located happens to be exactly the same as one of the infamous shrines in real-world Japan. Friends who are familiar with Japanese culture should know that Japanese shrines have their own characteristics, and there will be no random copying and occasional similarities.
The witch in the shrine, whose name is "Hua", is voiced by a voice actress who is a huge controversy over a shrine. The weapon used is called the Hachiman Divine Bow, which happens to be the belief of the Kamikaze Team. Players want to help the witch guard the shrine, and the token obtained is called "Sakurabara", Sakuragi is not suitable for building, and the use of the full name Sakurabara has to be reminiscent of the name "material" in the human trial of Unit 731 in Japan - "log".
A stone stirs up thousands of waves, and the various discoveries of the players seem to confirm the crime of "Jingri" ("spiritual Japanese") in this game. In the midst of a large number of player condemnation, the game producer gathered the studio and the operator B to pretend to be dead for a period of time, and gave a relevant apology.
Misunderstanding or deliberate? Does the truth still matter?
In fact, after the initial control and restriction operation ignited the anger of players, it does not matter whether the game is "intentional" or "unintentional". In this battle of public opinion, the opponents are no longer players and production teams, but players and capital.
In fact, calm down and think about it, the so-called "Hachiman God", "Log", and "Hua" actually have the meaning of more or less over-interpretation. During the production of the game, CV Ai-Iwahara had not yet visited the shrine. However, the shrine is indeed difficult to explain, and the official gave a reference shrine in the apology statement, but this "if there is a similarity, it is purely coincidental" approach is really difficult for players to understand.
In the subsequent development, the production team once again showed a suffocating operation. They deleted the apology statement and then directly posted a "lawyer's letter warning", as if they wanted to use the weapon of the law to warn those netizens who maliciously slandered. This time completely made players angry, so recently, in May 2022, a few days before the new test round of "The Final Front: Inobeta", this long-passing rhythm once again ignited the comment area of Station B.
In fact, the relevant materials have long been deleted and modified, and such angry players are obviously not aimed at the problem of the game itself, but are dissatisfied with the production team and public relations operations.
Should I forgive the game?
In the past year of the wave of public opinion, the production team has also begun to play the patriotic card while optimizing the quality of the game itself. For example, invite the women's football team members to stand:
Linkage with the first-class actors of Sichuan Provincial Sichuan Theater:
The producer has repeatedly emphasized that it is a Chinese team, and it is their belief to make Chinese mecha. However, in the long run, there is a feeling of putting the cart before the horse. How can a game with a mecha and beautiful girl theme be linked with Sichuan opera and women's football? Instead of focusing on calming down operational accidents, it's better to think about how to attract players. If it is linked with the mecha works of "EVA", "Gundam", and "Pacific Rim", is it more in line with the theme of the game mecha?
Look at the sense of identity of your compatriots, forgive this game that has made mistakes, or let the arrogant operations and research and development companies taste the bitter fruit. If it were you, how would you choose?
Melon fields
"Eat melon" the disaster-prone "Overwatch" and the embarrassing OWL
"Eat melon" "World of Warcraft" mobile game launched, Blizzard Nirvana rebirth or fall to the end?
