《绝地潜兵2》在线峰值超出预期5倍 索尼曾翻倍投资

《绝地潜兵2》自发布以来便大获成功。在一支新公布的视频中，Arrowhead Game Studios的首席执行官比较了游戏实际取得的成果和发行商的预期。

起初，《绝地潜兵2》的预测峰值在线玩家数约为15万人次。然而，实际情况却远超预期，射击游戏的同时在线人数突破了75万人次，证明其受欢迎程度是预测的五倍之多。

这一骄人成绩不仅是对Arrowhead Game Studios巨大投入的回报，也是对索尼投资的肯定。最初，游戏的开发周期预计为3年，但实际开发时间延长至7年11个月26天，团队才最终完成作品。

实际上，索尼是基于团队初步成果的亮眼表现增加了信任。在展示了射击游戏原型后，团队成功争取到了比原计划多一倍的开发预算。同时，随着项目的推进，团队规模也从35人急剧扩张至100人，近乎实现了团队规模的三倍增长。这种快速扩增对于管理而言本身就是一个不小的挑战，且常会在开发过程中引入额外难题。

《绝地潜兵2》在商业上确实取得了成功，但过程中也遇到了一些波折。其中一个较大的问题是，索尼曾要求所有PC玩家必须通过PSN登录，迫使不少用户为了持续游戏而注册账户。

最终，由于公众反馈极为负面，索尼不得不调整策略，但在此期间，《绝地潜兵2》已从大约180个国家的市场上撤下，这些地区因无法接入PSN而受影响。

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.
