Good weekend everyone, I'm Dr. X.
The new version of [Hot Game Information] will consist of three parts: "New Game News", "Global Popularity" and "Classic Games".
I can't say it clearly in a sentence or two, but let's talk to Dr. X about what hot information this week.
【New Tour News】
Focus: Diablo 4 beta early access opens, and Blizzard servers are overwhelmed
This week, Blizzard's new work "Diablo 4" has opened early access (only pre-order players open), and the game was overwhelmed as soon as Blizzard's servers were opened, and it can only be said that the dark that does not queue cannot be called dark.
From the current experience, "Diablo 4" has made a drastic transformation of the genre, including the use of open-world large map construction, so there are a lot of interactive and terrain parts in the map, and it is no longer a flat map that is infinitely brushed.
However, many old dark fans said that "Diablo 4" is an enhanced version of Krypton-free Dark Immortal, and the strong taste of MMO work in the game cannot be regarded as a dark game at all.
Interested players can consider pre-ordering or watching the beta livestream, and the game will be officially released on June 6.
Focus: The first playable Unreal 5MMO "Night Raven" with UI real screen debuted
MMORPG "NIGHT CROW" DEVELOPED BY KOREAN GAME DEVELOPER MADNGINE, A MULTI-PLATFORM (MOBILE/PC) MMORPG DEVELOPED USING UNREAL 5 ENGINE, IS SCHEDULED TO BE LAUNCHED IN KOREA IN APRIL THIS YEAR, AND PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN.
With the announcement of the game, the real combat screen of "Night Raven" with UI has also been announced, I have to say that the game picture produced by Unreal Five is indeed very good, but in terms of combat performance, the game is still like hitting a stake, the sense of blow and combat experience are relatively average, I don't know if the boss battle will be better.
Don't be a legend of Unreal Five.
Focus: Zodiac auspicious day? Three new mobile games released a final announcement
This Friday, Changyou's "New Dragon Babu" mobile game in cooperation with Tencent announced that it will start the Shenlong test on March 22.
This test should be the last test of the game Pro launch, as this is a paid test with a recharge rebate campaign.
It is worth noting that Tencent opened a free trading system in "New Dragon Babu Mobile Game", which is a game that Tencent has cracked down on over the years, maybe it is watching the next door against the water and cold to make money, and finally got the hang of it?
In addition, Perfect World's "Persona" mobile game "Persona: Phantom of the Night" also released a plot pilot PV, this mobile game is based on P5, but there will be many characters and NPCs from the previous generation in the game, but the art style is still P5.
In addition, the turn-based mobile game "New Moon Companion" developed by Candlepay Network will also open the orange level test on March 29, and players can go to the test recruitment to obtain qualifications before that.
The game still looks quite innovative.
Focus: RTS with MMO sensibility! NCsoft Developers Introduce New Work "Project G"
Recently, South Korean manufacturer NcSoft released the first real preview of its new real-time strategy work "Project G" (tentative translation, G plan), it is worth noting that "G Plan" is NCsoft's first new work in the real-time strategy game (RTS) genre.
It is reported that this will be a game that combines MMO and RTS, and the gameplay form will be more special.
Although there is the development of traditional RTS and large-scale wars, there will also be many gameplay parts where many players work together.
Focus: Kuluo Games, the developer of "Ming Tide", has received investment from Tencent and will maintain independent operations
According to a recent enterprise investigation, Guangzhou Kuluo Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kuluo Games) has changed its records, and a new shareholder, Guangxi Tencent Venture Capital Co., Ltd., holds about 14.3% of the shares.
Kulo Games is a two-dimensional game developer, and its main products are "Battlefield Double Ponytail", "Battle Double Pamish" and "Ming Tide". Among them, "Battle Double Pamish" is a 3D action two-dimensional mobile game, which once rushed into the iOS best-selling list TOP 3 after its launch in December 2019, and is still stable at about 100 best-selling lists.
According to people familiar with the matter, Tencent's investment will be used for Kulo Games' investment in the open world and content globalization abroad, and the follow-up Kulo Games will remain independent and will not be affected in terms of autonomy.

Focus: Workers are scared or happy? GPT-4 Office Family Bucket released
This week, artificial intelligence finally shot at migrant workers.
At the Microsoft 365 Copilot conference just held by Microsoft, Microsoft officially installed OpenAI's GPT-4 model into the Office suite and launched a new AI function Copilot (copilot).
Simply put, after this function is launched, word, excel, ppt and other work will be processed with one click, just tell the AI what you want, and it can be automatically generated later. Whether it is a paper, a plan, a contract, a form, or a PPT to fool the leader, there is no need to do it manually in the future.
Those friends whose resumes are "proficient in the Office suite" may not be able to find a job in the future.
Although it is not known when this function will be popularized in work and when it can be used in China, perhaps from today, human beings have entered the era of intelligence.
Of course, this technology is not only being studied abroad, recently Baidu has also launched a domestic version of the ChatGPT function "Wen Xin Yiyan", but when the function is released, basically the whole process PPT painting cake, there is no half-dime relationship with AI at all.
And after the release of this AI, it did not make Baidu's stock price rise, but fell off a cliff, it seems that everyone's attitude towards Baidu has been very clear.
In addition, as far as the current level of Wen Xin's words, most of the answers are not intelligent, but simply copy Baidu Encyclopedia, and the reliability of answers is also very low.
AI painting is even more difficult to say.
Although AI needs to be iterated for a long time, accumulated, and fed with data, Baidu is just the beginning. But Dr. X just inexplicably has no confidence in Baidu, and can't help but ask a rhetorical question, "Do you believe Baidu can handle AI"?
Highlights: February's most profitable mobile game announced! "Genshin" relied on "fried cold rice" and earned nearly 100 million in 1 day
Not long ago, Sensor Tower, a well-known mobile application data analysis company, announced the global mobile game revenue ranking for February 2023. They are divided into overall ranking, AppStore ranking and Google Market ranking, and it is no surprise that King, PUBGM, and Genshin took the top three.
"Genshin" can earn blood in February, which is not surprising at all, after all, the super card pool of walnut + Yelan made the card pool soar nearly 100 million yuan on the day it opened.
Mihayou still knows how to make money.
Focus: Don't dare to offend Tencent? Activision clarifies: Call of Duty M will be supported for a long time
Not long ago, Microsoft, which is about to acquire Activision Blizzard, just announced "Warzone Mobile Game" and proposed the idea of replacing "Call of Duty M".
But it didn't take long for the official Twitter of the Call of Duty mobile game to issue a statement, saying that it would be committed to maintaining the long-term gameplay of "Call of Duty M" and regard mobile games as an important part of the "Call of Duty" series.
This seems to be Microsoft's money is not yet right, and it does not dare to offend other gold owners in advance.
Focus: "Call of the Devil: Cronico War" has exceeded 26 million sales in four days after its launch worldwide
A few days ago, South Korean game company Com2uS said that its "Call of the Devil: Cronico War" created a total of 5 billion won (equivalent to about 26.35 million yuan) in sales in the four days of its launch worldwide.
The global version of Call of the Devil: The Battle of Kronico was launched at 2 pm Beijing time on the 9th of this month, and the official said that sales and the number of players continued to grow in the 4 days after its launch, and there was a long-term trend of popularity.
