Feature Shows Extravaganza

Thanks to the large amount of resources invested by PD Group, the public beta data of Kamen Rider: Battle Royale is very gratifying.

As of 12 o'clock the next day, the cumulative number of registered players exceeded 32.85 million, the peak number of people online at the same time in the evening exceeded one million, and the recharge amount across all channels exceeded 180 million...

Judging from this series of data and the feedback collected from various platforms, this game should be a hit!

But the problem is also obvious.

Because this game uses a world-class 3D engine. Therefore, the picture quality is very high, which consumes a lot of graphics card and CPU. Generally, the frame rate of the computer is very low, and the gaming experience is very bad.

The main reason is that the optimization is not good!

PD Games has not made similar PC games before, so its optimization experience cannot keep up with major domestic and foreign players. A series of infamy such as lags, disconnections, and potato servers also followed.

This made Meng Lang very dissatisfied.

The game is made and the quality is good. However, due to optimization and server lag issues, players have a poor game experience. How can this be done?

How did you do it?

For this image quality option, there are three options: high, ultra-high, and extremely high. Can't we have low, medium, high, and extreme options?

The problem is that if the image quality is reduced too much, vicious bugs will appear in many models...

Zhou Shixin gave an example: For example, enemies in a building can see you through the wall. For example, if you fall from a high place, you are likely to be invisible. These are model errors caused by too much reduction in image quality. .

Don't be afraid of bugs!

Meng Lang said speechlessly: If you find a bug, fix it. If the hardware threshold is set too high, we will lose many players.

Lowering the threshold is the way to go!

How can there be so many players who would go to great lengths to upgrade their computer configuration just to experience a game?

PUBG certainly does that.

However, PUBG has also discouraged many players who intended to get into the trap because of insufficient optimization and excessive configuration problems. If the optimization is better and the configuration threshold is lower, selling more copies will not be a problem.

This aspect still needs to be paid attention to!

Make a game, especially a real-time battle online game. The competition is not about who has the highest limit. No matter how high your game limit is, no matter how beautiful and cool the graphics are, if the threshold is too high, it will become a niche game.

The important thing is that the lower limit is low enough!

The lower the threshold is set, the more players will be attracted. The more players there are, the more players can earn money. There are so many Krypton gold players, but still worried about not making money?

Give a very simple example.

Let alone the orthodox debate between DOTA and LOL, in terms of entry threshold, LOL is definitely better. Therefore, LOL can have a larger player base and become popular all over the world.

If the threshold of LOL is higher than that of DOTA, how many players can it attract?

High-end ones are destined to be niche. Those that are open to the public are the most profitable. This theory is an eternal truth in many fields.

Lowering the game threshold will be the main focus of PD Games in the next period of time. Don't ask them to come up with god-level optimization, at least give them a few more image quality options so that even those crappy computers can run the game smoothly.

You can make a lot of money this way!

Except for optimization issues, Meng Lang's experience on the first day of the open beta was pretty good. Although I have never eaten chicken, I still managed to kill a lot of people, which gave me a sense of accomplishment.

This is where the advantage lies!

A chicken-fighting game like PUBG, where marksmanship is king. If your marksmanship is not good, you may be cold before even touching your opponent.

But Kamen Rider: Battle Royale is different. As a close combat game, although it also advocates technology, you can at least touch your opponent.

It doesn't matter whether I can kill my opponent or not. The key is that if I can hit you, then I'm very strong!

Moreover, the weather, identity and prop systems are also a major feature.

Not to mention the weather.

There are several choices for identities, and players can set their identities in advance before matching. For example, a chef can cook and provide BUFF to himself and his teammates, a killer can become invisible for 30 seconds after leaving combat, a knight can land with his own vehicle and provide a movement speed bonus, etc.

Prop cards are a new gameplay feature.

The refresh rate of this kind of card is extremely low. Each player can only equip one prop card and it will become invalid after five uses.

For example, the hidden weapon prop can launch a hidden weapon at any player within a distance of 500 meters to bring them into battle, reducing the movement speed and 50% of the healing effect, which is essential for chasing people and running away.

The vehicle prop card can summon exclusive vehicles after use. The movement speed and shape of its vehicle depend on the selected character.

There is also a disguise card, which can be used to disguise itself as random monsters, trash cans, street lamps and other objects for 30 seconds. King Gou's must-have magical skills, as long as they are used well, eating chicken is not a dream.

These are all different places!

Kamen Rider: Battle Royale, which combines PVE and PVP gameplay, although in essence advocates technology is king, even the weakest and weakest can also experience happiness from it.

Of course, having technology is still better.

PK skills passed the test and teammates cooperated well. Don't worry about whether these are present or not at all, just pick up the skills when you land and just find people to fight around the map, and that's it.

The novel battle royale gameplay has been loved by players from all walks of life since its launch. Chen Huan also announced an important strategy in the following days.

A lot of money to support the anchor!

The live broadcast of the battle royale game is very enjoyable to watch. If you train more in this area, you can also increase the number of people online in the game.

The last step is the external servers and event arrangements!

As early as the internal beta of Kamen Rider: Battle Royale, PD Games officials had already exposed the external server plan.

A total of five servers are set up.

North American server, European server, Japanese and Korean server, South American server and global server. Needless to say, the first few servers, the last global server, are mainly open to Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Australia and other regions.

There are not many players in these areas, so setting up a separate server would be a waste of resources, so we might as well join together and create a global server.

The competition follows tradition and is held in separate divisions.

After the championship and runner-up teams are determined in each division, the global finals will be arranged uniformly.

Meng Lang suddenly remembered when it came to the competition.

As of the end of May for the Pengda Summer Competition, each country has established a delegation and will soon go to Jiangchuan for training to adapt to the environment and climate in advance and make the final sprint for the competition.

But……

The hotel has not been settled yet!

Relevant staff and volunteers have not been recruited. If these people come, where will they live? Where to train? Who will entertain them?

Big mistake!

Because he was busy preparing for the wedding during this period, he didn't even tell Chen Huan about it. Chen Huan thought that Mr. Meng had already taken care of this matter.

In the end, Meng Lang forgot about it.

This is great!

The contestants flew to Jiangchuan and looked at the empty airport. They couldn't even find a receptionist. They had to arrange all the hotel, food and accommodation by themselves. How could they be so angry?
