Xbox console players should not be too familiar with the “Breakdown” series, the first generation on the Xbox 360 is a surprise, although many people bought it in order to get the “Halo 3” beta test qualification, found that this The game is simply beyond imagination. When Xbox One was just launched more than five years ago, we already knew that the existence of “Defense Warrior 3” has now reached the end of the console career. It can be imagined how difficult the development of this game has been. After countless jumps, the game’s development rights fell to the hands of British manufacturer Sumo Digital. Now it is said that it is scheduled to be released on February 15, 2019, and it will be listed in just two months. If it is placed in other games, now we should have seen the overwhelming publicity, look at the next door. “Resident Evil 2: Remastered Edition” and “Devil May Cry 5” are bustling. And “Defense Warrior 3” is still cold and scary, so what is Microsoft doing in the end? Let’s make a few bold guesses
Guess one: The quality of the game is lower than expected.
The biggest possibility for Microsoft to stay on the propaganda of “Defense Warrior 3” is that the game has not reached the expected level. I am afraid that even Microsoft itself did not expect that this game will attract so many players after the announcement, the performance of the first generation is great, and the second generation is slightly disappointing. The end result is that the game is well known to the core Xbox players, but not to the extent of household names
But in the release of “Defense Warrior 3”, the player’s response to this work is quite good, but everyone is looking forward to it means strict requirements for high standards of game quality
After the performance of the 2nd generation was flat, “Defense 3” became a non-god and ghost work. It is obviously unacceptable to continue to launch a mediocre work when the players are eagerly awaiting. Of. This is obviously a big problem in development. It is possible that after comprehensively evaluating the quality of the game, Microsoft finally decided to quietly put a dumb gun. I am afraid that the prospect of this series will be worrying, but for Microsoft, the long-term pain is not as short-lived
Conjecture 2: Microsoft plans to plan a large-scale publicity campaign for the “Defend Police” in early 2019.
Will Microsoft focus on propaganda and concentrate on promoting it before the game goes on the market? This is not an impossible task. After all, we know very little about this game, and they can use this contrast. Enhance the player’s impression of the work
This game should have a single-player game, but it has never had this information since the game was announced. The game should also have a collaborative element in it, but there is no news. After X018, we only know that there is a multiplayer game mode called “Distress Zone” and a cloud technology based destruction mechanism. Other multiplayer modes have not yet been announced. In the new trailer shown on the TGA, the real game content is only 5 seconds. 5 seconds!
So it is expected that Microsoft will at least promote the game before the game goes on the market. The Inside Xbox of January next year should focus on this aspect. I can’t really make a dumb gun
Conjecture 3: Microsoft intends to rely solely on Terry Cruise’s traffic.
Terry Cruise is a very good actor. The characters in “The Death Squad” are very interesting. It is also very good to play in “Defense 3”. But Microsoft put all the promotional resources on Terry Cruise, is it a bit overwhelming…
As I said just now, the real demo of the TGA trailer is only 5 seconds, and the rest are Terry Cruise. It is understandable to rely on the image of Terry Cruise to promote it, but you can’t always make a propaganda film like Terry Cruise? I don’t know what this is a visual novel game
Guess 4: This is a routine that attracts players to join the game pass
Generally speaking, before the game is pre-ordered, the player always has to look at the game video, game information and related forward-looking introductions, and then decide whether this is his own dish, and the value is not worth getting the pre-purchase benefits. High-priced pre-orders before the game is released are more like a gamble, and even more so in the high-risk work of “Violence 3”. But Microsoft has a thing in hand to avoid this risk, the game pass. If you subscribe to this service, you can play this game for only $10 a month. Even if it’s not fun, there are many other games. So Microsoft just won’t let you know what the game is like, and you will join the game pass to avoid risk. This conjecture is a bit of conspiracy theory
Anyway, “Violence 3” will be available for sale in two months (if it is no longer a ticket). The above four are some simple guesses. As a player, we naturally hope that every game is very exciting and very fun. In short, let us see what Microsoft is going to do next, and if possible, show the game as much as possible!
