《絕地潛兵2》在線峯值超出預期5倍 索尼曾翻倍投資

《絕地潛兵2》自發布以來便大獲成功。在一支新公佈的視頻中，Arrowhead Game Studios的首席執行官比較了遊戲實際取得的成果和發行商的預期。

起初，《絕地潛兵2》的預測峯值在線玩家數約爲15萬人次。然而，實際情況卻遠超預期，射擊遊戲的同時在線人數突破了75萬人次，證明其受歡迎程度是預測的五倍之多。

這一驕人成績不僅是對Arrowhead Game Studios巨大投入的回報，也是對索尼投資的肯定。最初，遊戲的開發週期預計爲3年，但實際開發時間延長至7年11個月26天，團隊才最終完成作品。

實際上，索尼是基於團隊初步成果的亮眼表現增加了信任。在展示了射擊遊戲原型後，團隊成功爭取到了比原計劃多一倍的開發預算。同時，隨着項目的推進，團隊規模也從35人急劇擴張至100人，近乎實現了團隊規模的三倍增長。這種快速擴增對於管理而言本身就是一個不小的挑戰，且常會在開發過程中引入額外難題。

《絕地潛兵2》在商業上確實取得了成功，但過程中也遇到了一些波折。其中一個較大的問題是，索尼曾要求所有PC玩家必須通過PSN登錄，迫使不少用戶爲了持續遊戲而註冊賬戶。

最終，由於公衆反饋極爲負面，索尼不得不調整策略，但在此期間，《絕地潛兵2》已從大約180個國家的市場上撤下，這些地區因無法接入PSN而受影響。

Helldivers 2 it was a success as everyone will know by now, but that doesn't mean Sony took it for granted. In a new video – which you can find just below – the CEO of Arrowhead Game Studio explained what the achieved results from the game compared to publisher's predictions. First of all, it is indicated that according to Helldivers 2 predictions would have achieved a maximum peak of around 150,000 players. In reality, the shooter has exceeded 750,000 contemporary users, thus proving to be five times more interesting than expected. The result also repaid the enormous effort of Arrowhead Game Studio and Sony's investments. Initially, in fact, it was planned that the development of Helldivers 2 it would have taken about 3 yearsbut ultimately took the team 7 years, 11 months and 26 days to complete. In fact, it seems that Sony was convinced by the initial results of the team which, after showing a prototype of the shooter, was able to secure a double budget than expected. Furthermore, the team has grown dramatically over the years, going from 35 people to 100. We are essentially talking about triple, an event which in itself is already a small management challenge and often creates problems during development. Helldivers 2, we repeat, is therefore officially a success, but it has clearly had its downs. One of the worst was when Sony decided to force all PC players to connect to PSN, thus forcing many users to create an account to continue playing. Ultimately, after incredibly negative reactions from the public, Sony took a step back, but in the meantime Helldivers 2 has been removed from approximately 180 countries removed from approximately 180 countries where there is no access to PSN.
