Chapter 302: Play high-energy vanguard, do (fill in the blanks)
You really know how to lose money!
After hearing Gu Sheng's words, Shen Miaomiao wanted to strangle him to death!
Zhi Gou Gou looked like a fairy who had eaten Sun Wukong's amulet, and her whole body was frozen on the sofa!
That’s outrageous.
It’s really outrageous.
Especially after Gu Sheng explained all the abyss and pits that defy the heavens to her one by one.
Shen Miaomiao was even more crazy!
because!
In Gu Sheng's words, once such a terrifying game is released, it cannot be saved by overwhelming publicity and media buying.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that for this game, the more Yunwei promotes it, the more their sales and reputation will explode!
Shen Miaomiao felt that her world view had been refreshed.
You know, she originally didn’t like publicity very much, and until now, she has always believed that a game, no matter how poorly made, is.
As long as you are willing to spend a lot of money to promote it, and as long as you are willing to win sales, then it will eventually succeed, at least at least you can make back the money.
Until the appearance of "High Energy Pioneer"!
Through Gu Sheng's description and prospect judgment, Shen Miaomiao knew for the first time that there were still ultimate **** projects in the world that could not be pulled back even with large-scale publicity!
This is a truly bad game.
This is the ultimate bad game where you lose as much as you invest, and you can get your money back!
But now!
This game fell into the hands of Yunwei instead of being developed by them themselves! !
"I…"
Shen Miaomiao suddenly felt blood surge in her heart.
This feeling of wanting to vomit blood seems to have not occurred for a long time.
I held it in for a long time until my face turned a little pale!
He slowly stood up, as if his soul had been taken away, and floated towards the door.
"Why?"
Gu Sheng was stunned:
“Why are you going?”
“Buy medicine…”
Shen Miaomiao's voice was a little weak, as if she was about to die:
“I’m going to buy some… Motherwort granules…”
"ah-"
Gu Sheng also stood up, frowned slightly, and said with concern:
“Have you started to feel pain again recently? It shouldn’t be. This hasn’t happened to you for a long time.”
Lao Gu was right about this point, and Shen Miaomiao herself also fully agreed.
It seems that she has never made this mistake since she shared a house with Lao Gu.
On the one hand, she is in a happy mood, but on the other hand, every time the day comes, Lao Gu will be more 'watchful' of her. She can't eat cold water and can't touch her. Even if she runs around barefoot on the ground, she will be Lao Gu scolded him with a dark face.
But this time.
Shen Miaomiao felt that she could not escape anything she said.
My money...
…
Isn’t this just coming?
In a twinkling of an eye!
March is coming!
Cornick is sitting in his spacious and bright luxury office, watching the praise and announcements for "High Energy Pioneer" one after another on the screen, and he is overjoyed!
good.
Since the release date of "High Energy Pioneer" was announced in advance, the entire gaming circle has been in a state of excitement.
You should know that generally speaking, game manufacturers release games intensively between July and October, which is the second half of each year.
March, which has just begun in the new year, is the off-season for game releases. All major manufacturers are concentrating on research and development, so the game market is not originally active.
However!
Golden Wind’s “Overwatch” has ignited a flame in this slow season of the new year.
After Yunwei released "High Energy Pioneer", the "big excitement" in the gaming circle became even more intense!
At that time, as soon as the promotional poster of "High Energy Pioneer" was released, it immediately aroused an outcry from Golden Wind players!
There is no doubt that anyone with normal eyes and brain would be able to identify such blatant plagiarism without any difficulty.
but!
Awkward questions arise.
Because "Powerful Pioneer" was released earlier than "Overwatch".
Therefore, Yunwei made a prompt decision. On the spot, a bad person complained first, then beat him up, fabricating accusations that Golden Wind was suspected of plagiarizing their "project prepared as early as the year before last year", and is currently investigating.
As soon as this news was released, the direction of public opinion was immediately swayed.
Golden Wind did not make any statement or refute this.
The four golden villains unanimously expressed: Please start your performance. If you are not crazy, how can you perish?
In this way, Yun Wei's arrogance is further fueled!
Hundreds of publicity funds were spent crazily one after another to silence the media and buy support from trolls.
For a time, the voice that "Yunwei's self-developed multiplayer competitive game "High Energy Pioneer" is about to be released and is highly anticipated" became louder and louder.
"High Energy Pioneer is about to be released!" Many game media such as SLGamers have given it very worth looking forward to! 》
Elena, a well-known pioneering feminist representative in the United States, expressed that she is very much looking forward to “high-energy pioneers”! 》
""High-energy Pioneers" sparked heated discussions in the LGBT community forum! 》
《Luke, the famous American rapper who publicly came out as **** the year before last, retweeted the poster of "High Energy Pioneer" to express his expectations! 》
The participation of magic groups from all walks of life instantly made the topic of "High-Powered Pioneer" extremely popular!
It’s no wonder that Cornick is sitting in the office, laughing, with golden light in his eyes!
Break the circle!
You must know that it is actually very difficult to break the circle of a game!
It is not even an exaggeration to say that there are very few games that can reach such a breakthrough level like "High Energy Pioneer" and take a look at the global gaming industry!
Possibly, in recent years, the only one that can compare with "High Energy Pioneer" in terms of popularity is "Plants vs. Zombies" by Golden Wind.
When he thought of this, Kaunike couldn't help but feel excited!
You need to know!
At that time, "Plants vs. Zombies" created a mythical record of selling more than 7 million copies worldwide in a single week!
Now, although their "High Energy Pioneer" is not a mobile PC dual-platform login, the launch price is much higher than that of PVZ, and the final sales performance will definitely not be as crazy as PVZ.
However, judging from this popularity, it will definitely become this year’s masterpiece, a phenomenal hit!
It’s just that!
The only thing that makes him feel awkward now is the rejection from Simon, chief game review editor of SNG Forum.
As the world’s largest comprehensive game forum, SNG has a very high status in the industry, and Editor-in-Chief Simon’s game reviews are even more authoritative.
In the “stress test” conducted at the beginning of the month, Yunwei actually invited some media and representatives of some magic groups to come and try it out.
Of course, money must have been spent.
Up to now, the cost of publicity and sales for "High Energy Pioneer" is more than 2.5 times the cost of game development.
But what a pity!
Simon, the editor-in-chief of SNG who was invited as a guest in the internal beta test, did not accept a penny of 'thank you fee' from them like other representatives after the test. Instead, he disappeared and never mentioned anything about "High Energy Pioneer" In the relevant news, there was no comment like "High Energy Pioneer" as "very worth looking forward to" like some other media representatives.
after all…
…
“This game is so **** bad! It’s just **** worse! It’s so **** bad that it’s so bad that it’s outrageous!”
“If our group didn’t have Vivendi as a shareholder, I should have reported their false propaganda. This would be the biggest **** publicity scam in the history of the game!”
"Go back and tell them! I'm not writing any **** negative reviews right now! I'm just doing it because I have to be pressured to do so!" "Stay silent until the game is released! That's the limit of what I can **** do !”
“If you want me to give this game a ‘worth looking forward to’ review, I can’t!”
“Because I can’t give a **** compliment to a piece of **** shit!”
"roll!"
Bang! !
It’s night, in the western part of the United States, in a two-story single-family villa in San Jose, San Francisco.
After receiving the eighth call from his assistant urging communication, Simon finally broke out, saying eight **** words in a row and sending an angry telegram on the spot!
Without a doubt!
Yunwei-Vivendi, who has strong financial resources, bribed almost all the players who participated in the closed beta and asked them to say "worth looking forward to" without conscience.
Today, the popularity of "High Energy Pioneer" has reached unprecedented levels, and the discussion is unprecedented.
Golden Wind "Overwatch", which was announced in an ingenious way during the Challenger League, seems to have been forgotten by people. Nowadays, only some players are still waiting hard to stick with it.
When it comes to this, another point where Simon is angry and even feels disgusted arises -
Pre-sale.
From March 1st to March 14th now.
According to the pre-sale news announced by Yunwei happily, in two weeks, "High Energy Pioneer" has sold a total of nearly 3 million units worldwide!
Judging from the price of 75 dollars per copy of "High Energy Pioneer", in the past two weeks of pre-sales, "High Energy Pioneer" has brought Yunwei 225 million dollars in revenue!
In Simon’s opinion, this is simply a naked fraud!
Instigated by various media, so-called senior players, and representatives from the magic camp, this unprecedented and huge scam has coaxed players around the world into confusion!
Everyone thinks that "High Power Pioneer" will bring a new revolution in multiplayer online battles to the gaming industry, and even credits "High Power Pioneer" with the exquisite CG of "Overwatch"!
But actually!
The quality of this game cannot even be described as appalling!
Weird-looking heroes created to cater to the so-called special groups, stereotyped battle formations, a battle royale design that is almost the same as APEX, and the awkward second-generation FPS settings...
What’s even more outrageous is that at a price of up to 75 dollars per serving, they actually have a vampire-like lottery krypton gold system, which is called to provide players with a better gaming experience!
How dare you put forward this game in front of me and want a "very worth looking forward to" evaluation? !
funny!
You have time to ask me to give you a closed beta evaluation, so why not hurry up and think about the explosive reputation (physics) of your **** worth 75 dollars after it is delivered to the players? Think about emergency public relations measures!
After all, in less than twelve hours, this game of yours is going to—
…
“Online!!”
Papa pa pa—
It is 8 pm Beijing time.
Gu Sheng placed snacks of peanuts and melon seeds on the side table, and took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator.
Then pick up the warm brown sugar water and serve it to little Nezha.
Then he plopped down on the sofa, opened the Coke with a bang, took a gulp, and looked at the large projection screen with interest.
Shen Miaomiao's expression: =_=
If she remembers correctly, they have been living together for so long, and this is the first time in Lao Gu's history that he has taken the initiative to drag her to watch a game live broadcast.
It’s not our own game that we’re watching.
It is Yunwei's "High Energy Pioneer".
What a loss.
Sure enough, there is a saying in the criminal investigation industry—
The more perverted a habitual criminal suspect is, the more he likes to return to the crime scene after committing a crime.
Lao Gu has this mentality now.
You can tell just how psychopathic this person is just by looking at his interested look and his expectant expression.
There are three more perverts like this in Golden Wind.
I have really committed a great sin. How come I have encountered these four evil obstacles in my life?
Shen Miaomiao drank the lipstick and sugar water, sighed silently, and then also set her eyes on the big screen.
She actually has some hope.
Hope Yunwei can be picky and evasive in Lao Gu’s plan that is full of pitfalls.
Let’s not say you dodge them all and then actually make a copy of Overwatch.
But at least, you shouldn’t go through all the pitfalls, right?
This is like doing a math problem. Even if the hope of getting it all right is slim, avoiding all the correct answers does not seem to be an easy task.
Hope you can perform well...
Shen Miaomiao prayed in her heart:
At least like a person.
Think of this.
Just listen to the anchor’s voice in the live broadcast room:
“Good evening, I’m XTT, the broadcast is on, let’s play a new game today, High Energy Pioneer,”
“It is said that the early internal testing has received rave reviews. Although it is a bit expensive, $75, but before Overwatch is released, let’s consider it as a substitute.”
“Open the whole, open the whole!”
Said.
XTT, known as the FPS genius boy, sat in the somatosensory cabin and started the game.
On the barrage, there are many different opinions about this game -
‘Isn’t this a copy game?’
‘Didn’t you say that Shouwangqiu is very capable?’
‘Does anyone really believe this? Do you think Xiao Huang is still copying others? ’
'indeed'
‘This is a b-game that is full of correctness and reskinning. I don’t believe that the old thief can resist plagiarism’
‘But it is said that the reputation abroad is very good’
‘It’s all a **** evaluation from the magic group. Are you counting on Walmart plastic bags to play games? ’
“Indeed, I feel that this game is very strange. I rarely see comments from players. Except for the great magician, it is the foreign media who have spoken out.”
‘The most important thing is that SNG, the most authoritative foreign company, also participated in the internal beta, but has never made a sound’
‘I always feel that this pre-order is a huge pitfall’
‘It’s hard for me to comment on pre-orders. Even a game as awesome as Sekiro doesn’t dare to issue pre-orders. This game...'
‘My rating is – play as a high-energy pioneer and be a low-energy child’
‘Hahahahahaha’
‘It’s started, it’s started! ’
