前作多半差评,如今新作测试50万在线,这一次他们能翻身吗?

前段时间,战地风云官方放出了系列新作《战地风云6》(下称《战地6》)的首曝PV。 从PV可以看到,《战地》系列标志性的高强度战术交火、史诗级战场体验与高度自由玩法强势回归,包括炸毁墙体、摧毁建筑等环境破坏元素,以及海 陆空全面战争的壮观场面。 随着《战地6》的Alpha测试开启,不少玩家都在体验后给出了好评,表示游戏的战斗节奏和战术深度有所提升。 但虽如此,由于前作《战地2042》首发时服务器、优化和平衡性等问题,实在是给玩家留下了比较大的心理阴影,因而许多老玩家对新作的预购仍持谨慎 态度。 可能也是因为考虑到这一点,最近《战地6》整了一次声势浩大的Beta测试,EA将其称为"系列史上规模最大的公开测试",并将首次测试时间定在了8月7 日。 令人意想不到的是,在Beta测试首日,尽管还处于抢先体验阶段,《战地6》就已经创下了在线玩家峰值30万的惊人数据,使游戏迅速攀升至Steam热玩榜 第四位。 要知道,此时的数据还不能完全体现玩家对《战地6》的关注度。因为抢先体验期间采用的是限量资格发放机制,玩家需要通过抖音、B站,或者是Twitch 等平台的创作者直播内容,才能获取测试资格。 因此,到了上周末Beta测试 ...
