Which is important element for a great game, charming Scene or brilliant content? The answer is both. However,Which is the most important element for a great online game title? Perhaps the revenues reports will give us answers.
We have heard:
Vivendi Games
First Half:
Vivendi Games¡¯ revenues of ?296 million were 24.4% higher than the prior year (up 18.7% on a constant
currency basis). This increase was primarily driven by the continued worldwide success of Blizzard¡¯s World of Warcraft, the critically acclaimed subscription-based, massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
NCsoft
By game, Lineage and Lineage II posted sales of KRW 28.5 billion (US?29.5 million) and KRW 28.4 billion (US?29.4 million), down 5% and 3% respectively from the previous quarter and unchanged year to year.
In World of Warcraft, Blizzard has lost its advantage in 640*480 graphics enjoyed by War Craft II. However, its contents are more diversified. Lush graphics cannot guarantee a hit game. The final factor in determining an outstanding game is the person using technology but not the technology itself. Engine is the frame for a game. When the frame is set up, all you have to do is fill it. Like No One Lives Forever dev team says, “all the questions will come down to one – whether your game is fun or not.”
