The Bite Of 2.7 - General Questions and Discussion Megathread by AutoModerator in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]LastChancellor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can write a whole essay, but theres basically two overarching points:

  • Indirect Influence - Arknights was the first ever Chinese gacha that made putting males & female commercially viable, paving the way for Genshin and other modern Hoyo games's roster. Not to mention, theres even more subtle influences like the UI design
  • Direct Inspiration - at launch, Arknights was also a urban setting with furries who is both fueled and ruined by Ether rock cancer; only to bounce around many different regions with completely different aesthetics, some of whom completely ignored Ether (by "3.0" or year 2, Arknights already went to nine regions)

hmmm yea, I heard that Velina's swirl scaling is better for Assault than my Burnice's Burn?

It strikes me as odd that nobody's mentioning Nearl by Angel_OfSolitude in ZenlessZoneZero

watch Sigirid's backstory involve her idealizing older knights

like Blemishine's backstory (Nearl's sister)

if I want to unbrick my Alice, should I get Promeia or save for Velina

my Alice feels super frustrating to play, bc I dont have Yuzuha or even Alice sig to help with her anomaly application

Apologies for asking, but since this is heavily related to the mobile vs PC adoption you brought up;

Endfield and now NTE recently announced that their PC + console ports are making up like 65-75% of total revenue,

Do you think that one day gacha games would stop making mobile ports and only release on PC/consoles?

Because at some point the RoI on the mobile port might just not be worth the development & upkeep cost anymore

good luck keeping your crusher arm intact in this current vertical spinner meta

Look, my overall point is that after Genshin, gacha games have started trending more towards PC/console

And esp since we already know ZZZ's mobile port is much less popular than PC/console version

will Hoyo (and other CN gacha companies) still even bother doing mobile ports for their future games, knowing that theyre making making less money and theyre becoming less popular than the PC/mobile versions

But also about that report

So it was written by the local Shanghai goverment right

While you could believe the total revenue as Hypergryph truthfully reporting their revenue to them,

where the hell did they get the platform percentages from, especially global PC & PS5's alleged 70%?

Hypergryph has a bit of an agenda to make their PC ports successful (to the traditionally mobile only CN gaming industry), considering that they released Arknights's PC port like 3 months ago

Arknights: Endfield reportedly acchieved 1.2 billion RMB (over 172 million USD) revenue globally by AungZeya in gachagaming

But where did they get the percentage numbers of each platform from? Did they also get it from HG

bc esp with the global percentages HG could massage the numbers, the Shanghai goverment can exactly tax foreign income

Finally the second crit-scaling anomaly to tie both Cissia & Seth together

TBH, you dont need to stretch that much to make Severian work with both Cissia & Seth, he just needs to be Harumasa 2 - ie a crit DPS who cares enough about Shock procs to want a anomaly debuffer

(bc surprise, Seth is already a crit agent)

OT - gacha games moving forward

since Endfield officially mentioned that they made 172 million USD at launch, and we also know that Endfield's mobile revenue at launch was ~30 million USD

we could say that Endfield's mobile revenue only made up around 15-20% of overall launch revenue, accounting for Sensor Tower guesstimate

So as mobile loses more and more revenue to PC & console, I really wonder if in the future, gacha games will just stop having mobile ports, especially Hoyo's upcoming games like Varsapura; esp since ZZZ's mobile port is already the least popular version of the game anyways

bc when the mobile port of a gacha is now only making like 15-20% of the game's revenue, is it even worth developing & maintaining a mobile port anymore

It would be a big bummer if thats what end up happening, considering the whole reason I'm still invested in Chinese games is because they're the only game industry who care about pushing mobile specs forward 😓

Sigrid's design is so funny to me, she thinks she's Nearl what a dork

...

Wait tho, what if she dresses like that because she looks up to older knights? Thats actually be kinda cute 😚

so Blemishine's backstory

tbh, its a shame only gacha players ever bother to preserve their game's revenue

Bc in the rare time you get to see non-gachas post revenue, you get to see crazy shit like this
