Preface
We are all familiar with the name Tencent Games. The three major games for primary school students, LOL, DNF, and CF, which have always occupied the top three in the game list, all belong to Tencent Games. Create happiness with your heart, and play MB without money. This is the truth of Tencent games that we players are familiar with. The psychological impression of Tencent games on players should be that they are just cheating money.
The impression of NetEase games is much better. Although we jokingly call it "the second best game in ten thousand years", it does not affect the status of Fantasy Westward Journey and Westward Journey in the online game industry. NetEase's one-stop model makes us love and hate it.
In fact, there are not too many grievances and grievances between Tencent and NetEase in online games over the years, and everyone should know a lot. I would like to talk about the grievances and grievances between NetEase and Tencent in online games over the years.
The first chapter of grudges and hatred
Dungeon Fighter VS Soul Slayer.
Dungeon and Fighter, abbreviated as DNF, has had such a profound impact on the post-90s generation of Zhanshen. When it came out in 2008, it was the entire Internet cafe next to the fire, and the server was a hit. Zhanshen was lucky enough to be one of them. I played it with my friends back then. He was extremely happy. He was happy for a long time when he exploded an epic weapon. He also worked hard to farm Mavericks for a Terra Stone weapon. However, Tencent's servers are notoriously overlords, and the fear of being dominated by the Seven-Character Mantra after the epic explosion is still fresh in my mind.
"Cherish your life and stay away from Kelly" was once a classic saying of wisdom in the dungeon. The +15 scale stone shoulder pads and the +13 Judgment enhancement are so powerful that they don’t even have any scum. In order to practice PK skills, I play in the arena every day and night, practice combos, practice ghost talk, and practice three consecutive slashes in the air. All the imitation games that said they wanted to overthrow the dungeons have all fallen at the feet of the dungeons. Although the dungeon is no longer as glorious as it used to be, it still ranks among the top three in the game list, and countless memories are echoing in Zhan Shen's mind.
When famous players like Three Kingdoms and Oni Chuideng both tried to challenge Dungeon and Warriors and failed, NetEase did not back down and launched the 3D fighting online game "Soul Zhan" in 2011. The 3D horizontal version of the ancient style makes the game screen even better. The game's occupations do not copy dungeons. Although some skills are borrowed, the occupations are still very original. The game's original card gameplay and gang battles, It also greatly improves the playability of the game.
Soul Slayer is not inferior to Dungeon and Warriors in terms of operation feel and game graphics. Since the Dungeon Overlord server was full of plug-ins at that time, many dungeon players moved to Soul Slayer. Unfortunately, due to the late stage of Soul Slayer, Due to improper operation, the game was never released to public beta in the end. Now it can be said that it is dead.
As for the soul-killing mobile game Zhanshen, I don’t want to say anything. It’s just using the gimmick of the PC game to survive.
Result: Tencent Dungeon & Warriors won
At present, Dungeon and Fighter is about to celebrate its 11th anniversary. It can be said that it is the twilight years of a strong man and his ambitions are endless. Half of Zhanhun's body was already buried in the ground.
The Second Episode of Gratitude and Enmity
Sword Spirit VS Dragon Sword
I've been looking for a greasy senior sister. Where are you?, everyone will definitely tell me without hesitation that I am in Blade and Soul, yes! The unique graphics of the Blade and Soul Unreal Engine 3 crushed most online games at that time. After becoming the agent of Tencent, the endless competition began. Testing, so Sword Spirit is also known as Toilet (testing) Spirit, and the activation code was sold at a sky-high price at that time.
Due to the unique art style of Blade and Soul at the time, coupled with the 3D unlocked game mode, it attracted many players. The public beta also injected new vitality into the MMO market that had been sluggish for many years. When we all thought that Blade & Soul could seize League of Legends' share, God did not agree with everyone's wishes. Due to the lack of gameplay of the game itself and the desperate behavior of planners who constantly squeezed the game, a large number of game players were also lost.
Speaking of Dragon Sword, we have to talk about why NetEase wanted to develop Dragon Sword. At that time, Blade and Soul had not yet confirmed the operation of the national server. Some introductions to the Korean server of Blade and Soul attracted a large number of players to wait. At this time, NetEase took advantage of the fact that there was no agent for the national server. Dragon Sword was developed in order to attract players who were waiting for Sword Spirit.
Zhan Shen also participated in the test of Dragon Sword. It can be said that Dragon Sword is a complete replica of Sword Spirit. The game screen is very similar to Sword Spirit. The same race has just changed its name, and even the professions are somewhat copied. It can be said that it is golden. Outside it, there is a lot of waste. Apart from the screen, there is nothing attractive about the game. Many of the skills and movements in combat are quite blunt, and the impact is mediocre. The plot also makes it difficult for players to feel immersed in it. The quality of the game is really average, although it also has many unique features. It is also inevitable to lose players.
Result: Tencent Blade and Soul wins
The current new version of Blade and Soul and the update of new professions further prove the longevity of the Blade and Soul game. Dragon Sword has been remade and renamed Dragon Soul Moment to make its debut again.
The third chapter of grudges and hatred
Fighting God of War VS Suppressing Demon Song
Fighting God of War is a dark online game based on the background of "The Legend of Wukong". The plot of the game is the biggest feature of the game. The biggest impression that God of War has on us is the CG of God of War. The Avatar Queen team made the plot of ten thousand demons gathering to rebel against God into an epic blockbuster, which is still fresh in our memory.
At that time, Diablo 3 had not yet entered the domestic market. God of War's excellent plot, unique professions, the background of Journey to the West, and the refreshing sense of attack were more in line with the taste of the Chinese people. All of them indicated that God of War would stir up a big wave of Diablo games in China. Flag, but who made it a Tencent product? The boring gameplay, random crushing by local tycoons, endless draws, and step-by-step planning to squeeze the game, God of War also fell at the feet of Tencent.
The predecessor of Legend of Tibet, which is also a dark online game, was not a reskinned game of Legend of Tibet. Due to certain political factors, it was changed to the current name of Legend of Tibet. The background of the game is also very grand, showing us the charm of our Tibetan mythology. We play the role of the eight tribes of heavenly dragons descending from the gods to save the common people at dawn.
It has to be said that NetEase's ability in game development is very strong. Regardless of the career settings, skills and modes, although there are shadows of darkness, it is very consistent with the game background. Since all aspects are good, it can be said that the game is an excellent dark game.
Although civilians spend a lot of time in the game and have something to play, the operating model of the game is very similar to the model of the web game. In the later stage, as long as you rush, you can become stronger. The quality of the baby widens the gap between rich people and common people. Although the game's daily tasks have some features, they are inevitably a bit like NetEase's one-stop model. Generally speaking, they are a combination of Fantasy Westward Journey + Diablo 3.
Result: Zhenmoqu regained a victory
At present, God of War has faded out of our sight, but Zhenmoqu can still maintain good game updates and player online rate whether it is a mobile game or a client game.
The Fourth Chapter of Gratitude and Enmity
League of Legends VS Heroes of the Three Kingdoms
League of Legends has introduced too much. It is the founder of the MOBA game era and has an unrivaled share in the online game market.
Such achievements must be indispensable for conscientious developers. Whether it is the meticulous design of heroes or the careful planning of games, they can all demonstrate the concept of player first. Of course, the popularity of League of Legends in China can also be attributed to Tencent. Relying on QQ's huge user base and all-round promotion, League of Legends has gradually entered the world of players, allowing players to feel the charm of League of Legends.
The operation of League of Legends is still very strong and conscientious. The skin has no attribute increase and does not destroy the balance of the game. The skin has also been expensive from the beginning, and now you can buy a skin with cool special effects and full of sincerity for 69. No matter how much skin you have and how cool your skin is, you will still be beaten by others. Zhan Shen personally believes that this is where the League of Legends gains die-hard loyalty, and the League of Legends gradually opens a new era of gaming.
As one of the top three players in the gaming industry, NetEase certainly wants to take a share of the emerging battlefield of e-sports, so NetEase also developed Heroes of the Three Kingdoms. Heroes of the Three Kingdoms is the first hero battle competitive game independently developed and operated by NetEase. The game uses Unreal 3 The engine, graphically speaking, is much better than League of Legends.
The setting also boldly adopts the five elements skills and mount system. The hero settings and skills are also very reminiscent of the Three Kingdoms. The unique town system also adds a lot of style to the game. There is also a Three Kingdoms plot RPG mode. Playing RPG when you are tired of the battle has a good effect on soothing your emotions. Generally speaking, the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms is very in line with the general environment of online games. The art team is also very skilled. It can be said to be a slow-minded game. It’s a slow game, but it’s hard to beat the rapid offensive of League of Legends.
Result: The Heroic Three Kingdoms were completely defeated
Everyone must know why League of Legends won, so Zhan Shen won’t go into details.
Gratitude and resentment finally return
Tianya Mingyue Dao VS Ni Shuihan
It’s finally time for the final chapter, let’s talk about our countrymen’s favorite type of game – martial arts games.
Chinese people all have a special feeling for martial arts. Whether it is Tian Long Ba Bu, Jiu Yin Zhen Jing or Swordsman Love III, we all hope to find a happy relationship in the world of games, so Tencent independently developed Tencent's first game. A 3D martial arts themed MMO game – Tianya Mingyue Dao.
Currently, the graphics of Tiandao are unrivaled among the top domestic graphics. The Tiandao game is full of martial arts flavor, with various sects with distinctive professional characteristics, and a full Jianghu identity experience. If the four alliances resolve the disputes among the alliances, Fight against the largest evil force in the game – the Green Dragon Society. When you are tired, you can return to your home to rest.
From this point of view, Tianya Mingyue Dao is a rare MMO masterpiece, but its biggest criticism is the monotonous gameplay. Day after day, year after year in the game, just to pursue the three words "skill value", what? The linking of things and skill values also makes players' interest slowly disappear. The game's major bugs and various attribute props sold in the mall have accelerated the loss of players in Tianya Mingyue Knife.
Ni Shui Han is not yet on the market. After continuous development and revelations, Ni Shui Han can be compared with Tiandao just by looking at the picture. The specific details can only be compared after playing. I can only hope that the first test in July will not jump. Tickets~
Result: unknown
At present, the development of Tiandao is relatively good. Currently, it maintains quarterly version updates. The new version of the half-teen girl and the navigation system are bound to attract some players and returning players to play during the summer vacation.
Nishuihan hasn't been tested yet, so we can only see the real results after the public beta!
Conclusion
Tencent and NetEase have competed in so many rounds of online games. NetEase was basically unilaterally crushed by Tencent. However, NetEase perfectly demonstrated its self-research capabilities to us. This also proves why NetEase has a good reputation in these years. Tencent cannot.
Zhanshen hopes that Tencent and NetEase can do better and better, provide us players with better quality games, and let us experience the joy of gaming.
