Video Game Designer

Tianhe Network is still as low-key as ever. If Chuhe’s Twitter and Weibo are still the same as usual, I will post a dynamic post about the company’s internal game progress. I am afraid that many players will forget that Tianhe Network actually has several masterpieces. Under development.

Even if he won the best annual award for the wilderness dartsman, in addition to officially contacting the major game platforms, a digital game discount came, which caused a surge in sales, and there is no news about Tianhe Network.

Instead, EA, Ayu and other game manufacturers have a huge momentum.

Ubisoft has already started pre-sales in the secretly developed Far Cry, and Capcom’s Devil May Cry sequel will also land on major platforms, while the ambitious EA is a sequel to Andromeda with a mass effect trilogy. To expand territory.

There is no doubt that such a trilogy series has achieved great success, giving EA a strong confidence.

With high development costs and follow-up publicity costs, EA seems to want to transform the mass effect into an evergreen series like The Sims.

There is no connection to the previous work on the plot. On the one hand, it is because the story is really not good to tell, but the bigger reason is EA's ambition. They want to expand the world view and background. Their goal is not to end the one.

At the same time, the entire mass effect also abandons the original linear plot and replaces it with an open world, sandbox game.

Probably too much for the name of Mass Effect. EA has forgotten one thing. Fans and fans all over the world who have liked Mass Effect have gone through the trilogy and almost have a fixed understanding.

Hastily changed the plot of the game, even the characters familiar with the previous game can not be seen, this is definitely news for fans of the sequel to do more harm than good.

Just like ordinary successful movies, it is not easy to replace original characters, because the audience and players already have a preconceived concept.

That is, the earliest batch is the best. Unless the performance is really good, then you will feel some awkwardness.

If the IP of mass effect is set aside, Andromeda will be a good game, but now Chuhe can only wish EA good luck.

In anticipation of countless players, EA's Mass Effect Andromeda officially launched a full platform release.

The sales on the first day were as high as 2.8 million, which was also sold on the whole platform, and the Andromeda including the PC platform was worse than the wilderness of the Tianhe network. But there is no doubt that this data is enough to satisfy EA.

When he got this data, Charles, who had been watching in the office, was smiling.

My EA, your big brother!

What happened to playing the game yourself?

The same amazing!

The sales volume of 2.8 million on the first day is not as good as the wilderness but it is definitely an excellent number.

But remember this happy Charles now.

One week of mass effect Andromeda's data is 4.8 million, and major game rating sites have given their own ratings.

Even the highest score, IGN, which has always been known as EA licking dogs, only gave Andromeda a score of 7.7, not even 8 points.

In the metacritic player evaluation, Mass Effect successfully won the low evaluation history of its series of games, only 4.3 points.

‘It’s not the mass effect I want, it’s not at all the long-awaited work of fans! Of course, you have ruined enough good games, and you don’t mind ruining one, EA, please don’t ruin the excellent studio, and the well-known game series. ’

'I waited a long time, want to experience the wonderful plot again, return to the mass effect universe to play space heroes, meet those interesting characters, and enjoy the wonderful plot of RPG-yet in Andromeda, what am I I can't even experience it. It is more like an FPS game than a RPG game. ’

‘I’ve been playing for 20 hours in a row, okay, despite the name Mass Effect, the game is actually quite interesting, but can NPC’s conversations and missions be a bit new? Of course it doesn't matter, I can make up my own brains, but why do female characters look so ugly? Is SarahRyder really a face model that is served by jaydeross? I can't believe my eyes, are you EA blind? ’

A week later, Charles looked at the latest collected data with frustration, and he was still smiling a week ago, but now looking at the sales chart data of almost a big diving, Charles is a bit murky.

Is mass effect lost?

Actually not. The sales volume reached 4.8 million copies in one week. The cost recovery of the project is not a difficult thing. Even EA can make a lot of money.

But this is not the key, because this is not a question of profitability!

Mass effect Andromeda, this project failed, this is the most important thing.

Even applause or not, barely recoup the cost, but the mass effect applauded, this phenomenon EA is more willing to see some.

"Damn, the development cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, did they come up with such a result?" Looking at the information collected in his hand, Charles dropped it angrily on the ground.

A week ago he was still smiling in this company, but now...not to mention, it's uncomfortable!

Although the project paid for itself, the failure of the game hit the EA too hard.

Including the global players' complaints about EA, and the market's optimism, EA's stock has fallen like diving.

A very interesting phenomenon occurred, while the Mass Effect series has recovered costs and started to make profits; while the market value of EA has continued to shrink, players chased.

In fact, the reputation of EA in foreign countries is probably the same as that of domestic penguins. It belongs to the type that does not know how to comment and is right.

"Cancel the subsequent DLC development of Mass Effect ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Put all resources into the Star Wars series, at the same time reduce the mass effect propaganda, in addition contact Tianhe Network, and hold a meeting at the same time." Taking a deep breath, he picked up the material from the ground, threw it on the table next to it, turned his head toward the secretary who dared not say a word.

Hold on, come on! We are the big brother of the game world, we still have an ace, this year's EA has not lost!

We also have a 3A masterpiece, and we also have the world-famous Star Wars!

We will definitely win!

But before that, you have to stabilize the military.

After the secretary went out to work, Charles took a deep breath and clenched his fists and hammered his palm.

Then I turned my head to look at the table on the desktop computer display. The above is the follow-up promotion plan, but now I must make changes.

There is no doubt that Mass Effect Andromeda has failed. It is not a vicious BUG. This failure can be modified by subsequent patches, but it is a complete failure in the game design concept.
