How high can we count until the Blue Protocol is officially released?

Homie, I'm referring to the upcoming new version of BP that's now owned by Tencent. Just making sure we don't get crossed because of a misunderstanding lol.

I am also talking about Blue Protocol: Star Resonance made by Bokura/Tencent.

The PvE gameplay that has been shown. Show that noticeable skill to pause to skill slowness. That is present in most reactive combat - fast-paced tab-target combat.

This isn't present in Blue Protocol made by Bandai Namco Studios/Bandai Namco Online. Since, it is an actual action combat game.

Going from action combat to reactive combat means that it entered low potential revenue. Which it will struggle if it has the same setting-to-gameplay issue as Blue Protocol main. Which was the failure to act on Chekhov's gun but for MMOs; narrative principle that states that every element in a setting should be necessary to gameplay.

Then why are they promoting it as faster, then?

Has Bokura promoted it being faster? As far as I can tell it is just information accounts saying it "seems" faster.

////
Team Sky Blue for Blue Protocol seems to have been shifted to a new product started in 2022. Which will be released under the Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc name. Rather than Bandai Namco Online Inc which is getting absorbed by the above. "Bandai Namco Online will be absorbed by Bandai Namco Entertainment in an absorption-type merger on April 1, 2025, the companies announced."

'“This merger is being carried out with the aim of responding to the recent changes in the gaming environment and strengthening the business management system of the entire digital business," read a statement from Bandai Namco.

“We will continue to aim to provide ‘high-quality content that can be played for a long time and deeply’ and ‘diverse entertainment’ that exceeds the expectations of all fans."'

Returning it back to "established in 2009 with the express goal of developing MMO titles based on the company's properties for PC and consoles."

Wait for Star Resonance to leave China or wait for Sky Blue's 2nd MMORPG global release.

Yeah, just several sources who played the CBT's stating that the combat seemed faster.

Be careful of chasing the hype-train.

Final verdict from the private beta; "It's a very boring MMO. Apart from the style of painting, I can't think of anything else worth playing. All MMOs on the market can kill this gameplay. If you come for the gameplay, you don't need to play it, it's very boring."
// Characters unattractive, no player versus player, why would anyone turn off autoplay, player raids down to 20 rather than 30.

Where the Blue Protocol's final verdict: "Well, according to Japanese players, the game had a very good foundation and was fun to play for the most part. However, progression was terribly annoying - as it often is with Asian MMORPGs - the game lacked content, raids were boring, and the monetization was predatory."

Actual win and fail will be on release. However the market isn't like Japan with a few MMOs released. The battle for top 10 is very hard, and barely any MMOs even enter top 100. Such a large amount of releases, it is the games that are newer that kill.

As there is the Honkai-verse MMO eventually coming out which will probably nuke all other Chinese MMOs. So, the survival of Star Resonance isn't going to be safe w/o action combat.

"Have good aesthetic ability, familiar with fashion trends, and good at European and American cartoon character designers are preferred." There going to do the thing; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QJ8KNdhkiA This but with Honkai characters. Where the Honkai IP MMO basically kills any reason to play a discarded Fantasy Bandai Namco IP.

People keep forgetting the demand for an anime MMO in CN was because MiHoYo didn't make one. So, Genshin Impact -> Tower of Fantasy or Blue Protocol. However, we have the popcorn now so look towards ZZZ or Neverness to Everness or Ananta -> MiHoYo MMO.

"One of the company’s biggest and most ambitious goals is to build a virtual world that “1 billion people are willing to live in” by 2030." -MiHoYo MMO target, which is not impossible: [Dungeon Fighter Online is one of the most-played and highest-grossing video games of all time, with over 850 million players worldwide and over $22 billion in lifetime revenue as of June 2023.], [Fortnite has over 650 million registered players.], etc.

Thanks for clearing it up. But I'm 99.9% sure I'm still going to play it lol.

With the change of the game to Star Resonance, I am not fully certain if we should continue counting. If a Steam Page for SR comes out, should we continue this count there, end it here, or reset the count there once the page is up?

Just to here say I was wrong. Blue Protocol Star Resonance is great! It is several folds times better than Blue Protocol - Bandai Namco.

Better introduction.
Better cinematography.
Everything is better, jeez.

Some classes are incomplete. While other classses are close to complete. If the more complete classes are the end goal. Gameplay won't be an issue.

The main fix is the game having more of a Mihoyo-esque/Kuro-esque story style.
