Sun Bing paused for a moment before continuing.Actually, strictly speaking, the ranking competition was indeed one of the reasons for gunfights failure. Its probably because of this that Overwatch didnt start a ranking competition. However, the root of the problem is not the ranking competition, but the games capacity. This is already a consensus within our project.

Due to the limited capacity, even if Overwatch doesnt have a ranking competition, it will only extend the lifespan of the game. It cant continue to develop until it dominates the entire domestic FPS scene. Although Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault are older, they obviously have a longer lifespan than Overwatch.

From this point of view, I dont think our new project should follow the path of Overwatch. An FPS game with skills wont work, and an FPS game with a ranking mode wont work either.

Qin Xiao lightly nodded his head, indicating his agreement.

Previously, there were indeed a large number of games that mimicked Overwatch. In the end, all of them were pretty much done for. It even affected the entire FPS scene and caused them to be in low spirits.

If there were still designers who wanted to copy Overwatch, they would be laughed at.

Sun Bing continued,if were going to make a new project, the most crucial question is whats the core competitive point of this new project compared to the three major FPS games on the market? I think thats the main issue we need to consider today.

From the big FPS games from the Western manufacturers, theyre basically moving towards a more realistic and grander content. More complicated firearms, accessories, more epic storylines, richer combat vehicles, and so on

But all of these require a huge investment and a large number of professionals.

Sun Bing was done.

He had only described the current situation of the domestic and foreign FPS games market, but his meaning was actually quite clear. The key to this project depended on whether they could come up with a new game method.

How should he make a new game? Based on the experience of the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States, it was to increase the investment and make a bigger scene.

Lin chaoxus fingers rapped lightly on the table as he furrowed his brows. It was clear that he did not agree with Sun Bings train of thought.

Lin chaoxu said,thats one way of thinking. However, the problem was not only in terms of money, but also in the foundation and accumulation. Although Wolf Soul had also dabbled in some major war scenes, it was still far from being comparable to the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States. Even if we make it, we have to consider the taste of the local players. We cant go to the overseas market if the local players dont buy it, right? And even if its in the overseas market, it cant beat those European and American manufacturers.

What do you think? he looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment before he spread out the documents in front of him,To be honest, I dont really want to do a new FPS project. The reason is simple. There hasnt been any revolutionary technological progress yet.

The Pangu engine is indeed an epoch-making physical engine, but it might not be able to stand out in an FPS game. Its just to make the force of being shot more realistic, and the effect of being shot more realistic.

The players dont really feel that much. Thats why Chen Zhao chose to fight with cold weapons. Its more intuitive to fight with cold weapons.

On the other hand, there hasnt been any revolutionary new ways to play FPS games. There are still some other modes like safe and unboxing,mindlessly attacking,special firearms, and fighting zombies. Although the cart and spot-occupying playstyle of Overwatch looks rather new, its only interesting when its paired with the hero characteristics of Overwatch. If its forcefully put into a normal FPS game, it wont be that fun.

You mean to try not to do it? Lin chaoxu muttered.

Its possible, but therell be some risk involved,Qin Xiao replied.

Lin chaoxu smiled.The risk is fine. Tell me your thoughts.

Qin Xiao considered for a moment before he replied in a serious tone,My thoughts are actually similar to Sun Bings to a certain extent, which is to add more Grand scenes and modern weapons into a more traditional FPS game like Wolf Soul, such as more artillery, tanks, and planes.

Of course, there are risks in doing so, but our goal isnt to compare with European and American manufacturers. Our main goal is still domestic. As long as you add a few planes, tanks, and cannons to make it better than fire assault, itll be fine.

In addition, these modern weapons can actually better reflect the role of Pangu engine. For example, if a shell explodes on the ground, it will leave a hole in the ground, and at the same time, the shock wave will send players flying, or the shell fragments will cause damage to players. All of these can be used as gimmicks of the game.

Lin chaoxu thought for a moment and said,hmm Sounds good. In other words, theyre only making improvements and updates to the current traditional game modes, adding new content, and at the same time focusing on the effects of physical appeal, not completely copying the Western manufacturers.

Qin Xiao nodded,yes. Its not practical to learn from the big factories in Europe and America. On one hand, were not capable enough, and on the other hand, the Chinese players might not fall for it. At least for now, most of the players in Wolf souls only want to have fun with Tutu Tutu. Theres basically no need for a story in an FPS game.

Lin chaoxu nodded, clearly agreeing with Qin Xiaos statement.

Qin Xiaos plan was equivalent to a compromise. With Wolf Soul as the foundation, he added a larger map, more abundant firearms, vehicles, and modern weapons. At the same time, he still mainly played online battles, trying to suit the taste of the domestic players as much as possible.

Although there was still a little risk, it was worth a try.

Lin chaoxu thought for a moment and said,alright, this is the plan for now. Qin Xiao, youll be in charge of this.

No problem. Qin Xiao nodded.

Lin chaoxu was clear that even though Qin Xiaos plan had some risks, it was completely within control. Even if the game didnt become popular, it shouldnt be hard to guarantee profits.

After all, they were mainly considering the domestic market, and their competitors were fire assault and Overwatch.

Lin chaoxu looked at Jin jieguang and said,also, pay more attention to ZEN Entertainment and Thunderbolt Entertainments movements. They should have received the notice from the game Committee. Especially Chen Mo, pay more attention to him.

Dont worry, Mr. Lin!Jin jieguang nodded.

Its alright, theres no need to be too worried. Qin Xiao replied. In terms of funding and Foundation in the field of FPS games, were clearly better. Furthermore, Overwatch wasnt very successful, which meant that it was difficult to innovate in the FPS field. In the field of traditional FPS games, we have the data of a large number of Wolf Soul players, so we have an absolute advantage in this aspect.

Thats right, Sun Bing nodded.I think Chen Mos Overwatch is an important attempt in the FPS scene, but the results arent looking good. He wont be able to come up with any new ideas in the short term, right?
