Good weekend everyone, I'm Dr. X.
The new version of [Hot Game Information] will be composed of two parts: "New Game Dynamics" and "Global Popularity".
I can't say it clearly, but let's talk about what hot news this week is with Dr. X.
【New Tour News】
Key points: Tencent's "Yuan Dream Star" will be launched on December 15, and the large-scale business war of pigs and geese will start again!
On December 15th, Tencent's latest party game "Yuan Dream Star" opened the public beta, and the game received Tencent's huge traffic blessing from a few days before it was launched, and it was pushed by pop-up windows on the whole platform on the day of launch.
In QQ, WeChat, the main push battlefield is even more exaggerated, as long as you type the word "Yuan Meng" in the conversation, there will be a red envelope jumping out, waiting for you to click to jump to "Yuan Dream Star".
Of course, there are all kinds of QB gifts, cash gifts, this time the Yuan Dream Star is a pure "loser" route, 6 yuan stall and 2 yuan stall red envelopes are hard to give players upside down, and there are activities that can be repeated to receive, and the luck is even enough to get a monthly card.
However, Tencent still announced that it was too hasty, such as the automatic download of games on QQ wifi, which made many players play stalks.
But if you want to say whether these tricks work, it does work. According to Qimai data, at present, "Yuan Dream Star" ranks third on the best-selling list, and occupies the top four with Tencent systems such as King, Chicken, and LOL mobile games.
His old rival NetEase will naturally not give up, because the market for mobile games before this was really beaten down by NetEase's "Egg Boy Party", and it is obviously impossible to give way easily.
As a result, following MOBA, martial arts MMO, and eating chicken, NetEase and Tencent once again ushered in the battle of the century in the party market.
(The battle is scorching!)
The NetEase Department can be said to be a game where everyone collects firewood and flames, and the games of the Thunder Fire Business Group have participated in the war.
Later, the world 3 launched a limited BOSS "Giant Goose Heart" to yin and yang.
At present, judging from the history of the battle between NetEase and Tencent, the two sides have their own wins and losses, but the stronger the so-called social attributes, the greater Tencent's advantage, and NetEase is still facing a vicious battle.
Key points: "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" will open the Yellow Bell test on December 15 There are no bells and whistles in open martial arts
December 15th is really a day when the gods fight.
There was a pig and goose party melee in the past, and the Mi family broke up, and NetEase's "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" also joined in the excitement at this time and launched the latest test version.
The game does have a large-scale action ARPG experience in terms of display effects, and the stand-alone gameplay has also taken shape, and the performance in combat, exploration, puzzle solving, tasks and other parts is remarkable.
It's just that in some of the combat experience, the game's sense of attack and action are still a little stiff, and the optimization has not been perfected.
Dr. X thinks that "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" is a new work in 2024 that can be expected in the future, and if the domestic mobile game is rolled up at this level, NetEase will be a great achievement.
Focus: "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" PV will be newly released and will open for test recruitment on December 15
"Sword Network 3 Unbounded" announced a new promotional PV on December 15th, and opened the test recruitment, the recruitment time ends on the evening of December 27th, and the test platform is PC and Android.
"Sword Network 3 Unbounded" is actually a remade multi-terminal interoperability version, and the game will be launched on the mobile terminal, allowing "Sword Network 3" to enter the mobile game market.
According to the official, after the multi-terminal interconnection, no matter the mobile game terminal game players still follow today's point card game, no additional payment points will be added, which is still very friendly to players, and old players can also use their mobile phones to play games after work in the future.
The first beta will take place in January '24, so interested players can keep an eye on it.
In a word, look at the hot spots:
The action design is amazing!The first 19-minute actual PV of the domestic Unreal 5 "Beyond the Eight Hongs".
The Korean shooter game "GGG Project" has started Steam testing
【Global Hot Spots】
Key points: The grapevine has not been as desired Blizzard's national server has not yet said that it has returned
Some time ago, a lot of gossip concentrated on the news that Blizzard would officially announce the new agent of the national server on December 15, but now that the time has passed, the gossip is still unreliable.
Before, a lot of gossip said that Tencent and Byte wanted to act as an agent for this game, but now it seems that Tencent refuted the previous CG misplay, and Byte directly disbanded the game department, and now the most promising agent is the former agent NetEase.
At this time, "Diablo Immortal" released a new version of the promotional text message, and also used the words "Return of Warcraft", at first glance it may be a popular text message, but at the best of all, maybe it is a hint that it has been won?
It's just that there is also gossip that it is not so easy for the two to release their previous suspicions, and Blizzard is likely to hand over the new agent to an agency that is not a traditional manufacturer in the game industry. Huang Xudong also said that he heard that a very "fantasy" manufacturer got an agent, but it was just gossip and there was no exact source.
So let's wait first, pay attention to the official information and don't blindly believe the grapevine, even if the official announcement agent is still far from the start of the service.
Highlights: The End of the Era: E3 Game Show Announces Complete Closure
This week, E3 Game Exhibition, a game event that has lasted for more than 20 years, officially announced that the game show will be completely suspended.
In today's era of extremely developed Internet, each manufacturer has its own way of publicity, and the form of E3 is very traditional, and the effect may not be so obvious.
Maybe when he stopped holding offline exhibitions for the first time, he was already doomed to end today.
Highlights: The Finals game faces a cheating controversy and a wrongful ban on a player triggers an investigation
Recently, The Finals, a free-to-play multiplayer shooter created by a former Battlefield developer, peaked at 240,000 concurrent users on Steam and received widespread critical acclaim. However, as the number of players grew, the game also began to face cheating problems. Worryingly, many players have reported that they have been wrongfully banned for "TFLA0004" error codes without cheating.
This error code is related to the "Easy Anti-Cheat" anti-cheat system used by the game, implying that the player may have exploited the bug or cheated behavior. As more and more such reports grew, officials began to notice the issue and said on their official Twitter that they were investigating the cause of the "TFLA0004" error code.
Some players have speculated that this problem may be caused by PC players using controller peripherals, but the jury is still inconclusive. Players who have been mistakenly banned will need to contact Embark Studios and submit an application form to wait for an official resolution.
Focus: Cyber fraud is coming again, and the development team of "On the Eve of the Catastrophe" runs away
At the end of the year, the gods fight, 2023 is not the worst, only worse, after experiencing "Gollum", "King Kong" and "Flashback 2", it is expected to compete for the worst game of the year, it is known as the most contested game of the year "The Eve of the Catastrophe".
Not only did the game use the promotional tactics of trailer fraud, but it also declared bankruptcy and ran away four days after the game was launched.
Fortunately, game publishers are also legitimate companies that want to survive, and publishers who don't want to be involved in the developer's fraud have announced that they will offer players unlimited refunds.
This wave is only deceiving the capitalists and not the players.
