In 2002, a MMORPG game with years of youth and memories ensued for years to come. The game with its huge worldview, a complex social system, a highly liberalized market and a wide range of cute pet moment became phenomenal game, up to today, bring the game, each played never played young People will nodded meaningfully and bring the sentence: "Oh, magic baby ah."
Flapping city of the year
The meaning of "Magic Baby" for people at that time has gone beyond the scope of a game, although players lose due to the balance of the game due to the appearance of "dancers" in later versions, gradually fading out of sight. However, at the end of 2008, the opening of the "magic baby" nostalgia still attracted a large number of players to enter, and the popularity was comparable to that year. People still yearned for the balanced world.
So, in early April this year, Perfect World announced the acquisition of Square Enix "Magic Baby" IP license will develop "Magic Baby" Mobile Games, the hearts of the old players can imagine. The perfect world then in the promotion of major forums are also the main memory card, such as "classic regression", "memories of 10 years ago," "magic of inheritance" and other words are commonplace, but also ignited the players nostalgic heart.
"Classic Return", "heavily invested" "Magic Baby" Mobile Games initially left the impression of the player
In a forum reply on page 57 of the invitation code application, many reported the time of first contact with magic, where the server and first career was like a reel of time filled with memories of that era. However, there seemed to be some dissonance too in the forums. Some players who see the video of the game promote their concerns: "Please do not make" Magic Baby "into" God Carved Baby. " But the game did not really face the public at this time, players are also willing to believe that everything also has room for improvement, but also authorized Square Enix.
May 15, 2014, "Magic Baby" mobile version of the official opening of jailbreak iOS version of the IC packaging and testing. Thousands of players after opening the game but found that, in addition to the most familiar BGM, this "magic baby" seems a bit strange.
When entering the game to create characters, the old players are familiar with the characters hairstyle, hair color, face, gender and other original customizable content have been canceled, while the original as many as 34 kinds of professional as notice shrinks to 5 , Players can only choose from swordsman, ninja, mage, missionary and archers two men and three women choose their favorite gender and occupation to start the game. Not remember the memories of the city of Flanders, a thick breath of the page will be blowing: automatic path-seeking, equipment can not be created can only be upgraded, Minnie pumping pets, unknown Mercenary system, the game world New features such as in-game game status briefing (card-based, card-based upgrade) dazzle players. Lack of their own exploration of the map of the fun, the lack of familiar NPC, the lack of production and combat system of the players play their part and good interaction, the lack of a mature trading system, players can not help but ask, is this "magic baby" it ?
Although the new mercenary system to join the game an important profit point in the future, but also the most criticized players
If only from the "magic baby" mobile game version of the game, the screen and plot there is no lack of remarkable place - but we see it is the criticism and criticism of the player. A survey of players shows that: 90% of players think that if the "Magic Baby" mobile version can be fully portable PC version of the game will certainly fire. At this point, the strong negative impact of IP embodies the most vividly, the old gamers expectations and developers perfect world actually provided the game completely go the wrong way, resulting in such an awkward situation now.
Although from a technical point of view, it is not a difficult task to completely copy the "magic baby" 12 years ago to the mobile platform. However, such a long-connected online games are incompatible with the current mobile games style. Click on the 4-inch screen everywhere, take the 20-minute map in order to practice leveling process can have several new generation of players can accept? The perfect world for the "magic baby" whether it is for the mobile version added a random copy or automatically move, or mercenary card, equipped with inlays and other profit-making point is not excessive, these elements into any other a hand tour Will not cause such a fierce rebound, but only because it is "magic baby."
Just released on May 21 the perfect world of Q1 2014 earnings, its CEO Xiao Hong at the earnings conference call said: "The choice to develop" Magic Baby "mobile games because the company still think it is attractive to the younger generation of gamers in China Although we respect the copyright owner SQUARE ENIX's explanation of the game, it is definitely a new game in the perfect world. "
Yes, MagicBaby Mobile Games is a down-to-earth new game, not an old player who remembers the old version 12 years ago. Its main target audience is also very clear. It is a game player of the younger generation in China. Old player who was not christened 12 years ago.
But wait and see, "Magic Baby" Mobile Games is a brand new game, I am afraid there are some reluctance, because from the game content, interface and settings and other aspects, it is with the perfect world in 2013 launched the mobile game " There are so many similarities. In a forum post about "magic baby", good players directly unpack the game's resource kit. From the code shown, there are a lot of repetitions between "Magic Baby" and "Condor Heroes" Change some pictures and text. The previous player's fears came as no surprise, and the perfect "skin-changing" behavior was one of the most unacceptable behavior in the player community, even though "changing the skin" was almost universally accepted as a common practice in the mobile game industry.
The Magic Baby Mobile version received many negative comments, also due to the fact that the game hosts too many expectations, because Magic Baby is more than just an everyday game for many players , Even on their outlook on life have changed:
There have been more than one player and I said: playing "magic baby" let me re-think of good and evil, broad and narrow, generous and selfish. Magic Baby as one of the most successful online games is not controversial.
But after all, it's just one of many in the world of mobile games in the Perfect World. Today, "Magic Baby" mobile version of the iOS Jailbreak beta is coming to an end, during this week, the perfect world should be able to find useful improvements from the tumble of bad ideas. As Perfect World's employees expressed in the forum, Magic Baby is still under test and there will be room for improvement in the future. Tale will continue to focus on the future evolution of Magic Baby.
