Speaking of names, it is not a trivial matter in our country with five thousand years of civilization. Everyone’s name will be carefully considered, counting the horoscopes and looking at the Feng Shui and the five elements. Ergouzi is not worthy to discuss this topic (funny) Let's take a look at the old names of those popular games~
"Overwatch"
An FPS game produced by Blizzard, "Overwatch" has both MOBA and FPS elements. Its predecessor is The abandoned project "Titan", but we have to admit that "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse". From "Overwatch" we can get a glimpse of what a behemoth "Titan" was back then. Talking about the name of this game, in fact, the straightforward translation can be called Watcher or Caregiver. Many players complained about the translation of the Taiwanese server "Dou Zhen Agent". In fact, the translation of the Taiwanese server of most games is very awkward, like We are used to the name of the national server "Overwatch".
"Cross Fire"
Known as the Chinese version of "Call of Duty", "Cross Fire" has an unshakable position in the domestic FPS field. Even its operating officials once exaggeratedly said that it was "the mouse dream of 300 million players", which shows how popular the game "Cross Fire" has been. But many players may not know that "Cross Fire" also had a previous name called "QQ War". I really don't know what it would look like now if the official insisted on using this word.
"League of Legends"
As the enlightenment game for most new MOBA players in China, "League of Legends" has unrivaled huge advantages, which directly overshadows other domestic MOBA players. The brilliance of MOBA gaming. Thanks to Riot Games’ dedication in event operations, “League of Legends” has become a phenomenal work. But in the early days of the development of "League of Legends", it was only a team of a few people formed by former Dota team members. And the name of the game is not called "League of Legends" yet, but called "Army Assault". This is a name that only exists in the test version. Does it sound very familiar?
"Glory of Kings"
Everyone should be familiar with the name change history of "Glory of Kings". When it was first launched, "Glory of Kings" was not called "Glory of Kings"; It was called "League of Legends". At that time, the game was a parody of "League of Legends", causing the game to remain tepid. Later, the officials learned from the painful experience and changed the name to "Honor of Kings" with a wave of their hands. The internal style of the game also underwent drastic changes, and finally the game became a blockbuster.
Names still have a huge impact on games. What was once PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has become Peace Elite, which is also related to the excellent quality of the game itself. If the name is just good, the game content and experience are not good, then this game It's impossible to become popular. No matter how good it sounds, it's the same as having a good skin. I don't know if you guys know any interesting facts about the name of the game. You are welcome to discuss it.
