Chapter 522: Help the building to collapse! Turn the tide! In this case, this project is called—
The problem is a bit serious.
No, I can’t say it’s a bit grim.
But it’s already very serious!
Today’s golden wind is unprecedentedly powerful.
Their games themselves are of high quality and have a great reputation among players. Now they have mastered a number of cutting-edge game technologies.
Now, Golden Wind has instructed Xunteng to issue an announcement, more than half a year in advance, announcing the start of production of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II"!
All these actions are tantamount to announcing that this call of duty will reach an unprecedented level in terms of technology, size, and investment.
And E3 is a global game exhibition held in the United States, right on their doorstep!
So this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the army of Golden Wind is approaching!
The attack is fierce, the troops and horses are strong!
The most important thing is!
In the past, their Yunwei family had a huge business. Relying on its own size, it was much larger than Golden Wind, and its market share of somatosensory cabins was much larger than that of the art game Xundeng, which Golden Wind cooperated with. Even with a slight advantage, Barely holding on.
But now, with the rapid development of gold in the international market.
GW has long become a golden brand in the global game industry. Its size is getting bigger and bigger, and its investment intensity is gradually equaling their power, easily reaching 200 to 300 million yuan.
and!
In this process, the Yunwei series of somatosensory cabins, which originally ranked first in global somatosensory cabin shipments, also suffered continuous losses and strategic failures, and were gradually eroded by Yiyou and Xunteng somatosensory cabins in the market.
Until now.
From the perspective of market share, the Yunwei series somatosensory cabins are almost equal to the combined market share of Yiyou and Xunteng!
And as we all know—
“Yi You and Xun Teng are just two dogs raised by Golden Wind! In the international market, the two of them wear the same pair of pants!”
Placing the information in his hand on the table, Cornick said bitterly:
“If the judgment is correct, Golden Wind supports Yiyu this time and Xunteng next year, which will be their last authorized exclusive,”
“An internationally renowned IP masterpiece, an exclusive original super IP,”
"The purpose of making these two works exclusive is to satisfy the two dogs, occupy a larger market at the same time, rewrite the global somatosensory cabin market share pattern, and let [Golden Wind Series] dominate the game industry ,"
"after…!"
Speaking of this.
Even Cornick couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air.
“Then...there’s that [Made in Heaven].”
Yes.
Start with the golden engine!
Go to heaven to create exposure!
All strategies for Golden Wind!
Including developing a self-developed engine, building seven major modules, recruiting Phoenix to take over the Aurora game, and licensing its two major somatosensory cabin super IPs to be exclusive...
All of it!
I’m afraid they will all eventually return to [Made in Heaven]!
Golden Wind will definitely use [Made in Heaven] to create an unimaginable new game world!
As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire!
Nowadays, the "Golden Wind of Golden is actively forming [Paradise Manufacturing] members, and planning to create an unimaginable masterpiece" is by no means groundless!
Internally, we absorb the world’s top technologies through internal expeditions.
˜Externally dominates the global somatosensory market through exclusive licensing.
Once the two swords come together!
Cornick simply couldn’t imagine what it would be like!
I have to say.
Although in terms of game content, Kaunike's knowledge and ideas are not very bright.
But as a businessman, he is still very qualified.
He has indeed seen most of Golden Wind's actions and final strategic intentions.
But the problem is—
How to deal with it?
Cornick had a headache.
Obviously, if Golden Wind does not go crazy, if the entire GW does not suffer a devastating internal collapse, then his prediction has probably been written into Golden Wind's development plan.
but.
Even though the current situation is basically equivalent to the Golden Wind semi-clear card!
“How should we respond?”
Cornick’s question obviously made all the executives present at the meeting fall into anxious thinking.
Can it be said that it is? How to fight?
Now, GW needs talents, capital, technology, and markets.
The four chains in his hand are tied to the two top engine technology companies "Phoenix" and "Huanmeng", as well as the two somatosensory cabin suppliers "Yiyu" and "Xunteng", plus an "Aurora Game" that only follows the lead of the golden wind. .
The Golden Five.
Don’t talk about beating.
Now look at the global game industry.
Except for their two established overlords, Yunwei and Comella, the other so-called "first-tier manufacturers" and "national treasure game companies"... don't even have the courage to look at Golden Wind!
It can be said.
Today's Golden Wind, apart from not having a financial backer of the level of Prestige Di, has surpassed Yunwei at its peak in all aspects!
Half-step Tianzun! Pseudo unique one!
How to block? What to block?
“...unless we can get straight to the target and complete the [Made in Heaven] project one step ahead of them.”
Just when all the executives are bowing their heads and thinking hard!
Just listen to the chief artistic director of Firebird, Iso Koya, who is located on the left side of the conference table, suddenly speak.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Isokoa.
As the most powerful studio in Yunwei, Firebird's position in Yunwei can be said to be very important.
And its chief artistic director, Isokoya, is naturally second to none.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that Isokoya’s actual status in the company is comparable to that of Vice President Petain.
The important speech is coming!
For a time, everyone was very energetic, and even Cornick looked at him expectantly.
Seeing Isokoa pause for a moment, he then said:
“I think the key threat we face now is not actually the “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II” that Golden Wind will release next year,”
“But the project they will complete with [Made in Heaven],”
“After all, whether it is absorbing technology or seizing the market, as President Kaunike said – the [Made in Paradise] project is the ultimate goal of their strategy,”
“I think we should change our thinking,”
“Instead of trying to find ways to launch a work that rivals “Modern Warfare II” at E3 next year,”
“It’s better to go straight to the point and seize GW’s ultimate goal first…”
——
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Planning work.
Show the big baggage you have prepared first.
It is an extremely disgusting and despicable move, but it is very effective.
The most important thing is that if they can really take care of Golden Wind in advance, not only will "Modern Warfare II" become the Maginot Line of Defense, but even Golden Wind's next strategic deployment will be disrupted.
Sounds like a sure-fire plan to win by surprise.
However, before Aesop could finish his words, Cornick asked:
“So...how can we predict their game types?”
The planing method is certainly effective.
But the question is, how do we determine what the Golden Wind is going to do?
You must know that Golden Wind is not an ordinary manufacturer. In terms of game production classification selection, they are neither like Kol who only focus on sports games, nor like Fury who only focus on racing games.
Their game titles cover a wide range of genres, which is extremely rare in the entire gaming industry.
Horror, sandbox, role-playing, first-person shooter…
Games big and small, only you can’t think of them, but they can’t do them.
It’s true that they are doing the work, but do you know what kind of work they have to do?
And to this!
Aesop seems to be very confident, as if he already knew that Cornick had this question:
“They don’t make one type of game.”
“Can’t do a single type?”
Hearing this, Vice President Petain frowned slightly and looked confused:
“What does it mean not to be a single type?”
"that is…"
Aesop shrugged:
“[Made in Heaven] projects will never be limited to single themes such as shooting, survival, sandbox, adventure, etc.,”
“Otherwise, with the capabilities of their three major studios, they can complete it alone. There is no need to recruit elites and form a new huge team.”
As soon as these words came out, Cornick and Pétain couldn't help but nodded.
You know, according to rumors, Golden Wind has mobilized a lot of elites for this mysterious project, and they are still introducing talents.
Hypothesis! The upcoming work of "Made in Heaven" is "Modern Warfare III" or a game like "Minecraft II".
Do they need to form such a huge team?
Even set up a subsidiary company just for this team?
The answer is obviously no.
So!
That is to say!
“This time! What Golden Wind wants to make must be a masterpiece that integrates most somatosensory cabin game types!”
Isokoa is determined!
Years of experience in the game industry allowed him to accurately judge the ambitions of Golden Wind!
“What they want must be an open PPVVE-style virtual world that combines the characteristics of ‘multiplayer online’, ‘high fidelity’ and ‘high degree of freedom’!”
Create a virtual world!
If you guessed it right, Golden Wind has spent so much financial, material and manpower on this huge project that can change the global somatosensory gaming landscape!
“And we!”
Speaking of which!
I saw a sharp look flashing through Isokoa’s eyes:
“What we have to do is to realize this structure in advance, get ahead of the golden wind, present such an unprecedented work, and completely seize the blue ocean of the ‘virtual world’!”
Hum—! !
As soon as this statement came out!
There was an uproar in the conference room!
It’s so scary!
A virtual world where you can “do whatever you want”!
The ultimate form of somatosensory gaming!
The ultimate goal of [Made in Heaven] is this?
God knows how many resources it will take to complete such a huge production!
Even at this moment, even Cornick couldn't help but feel frightened!
This idea is really scary!
Even if they are so powerful, if they want to do such a big job as digging for the golden wind, I am afraid they will have to mobilize the efforts of the whole company!
If they are really determined to do this project, they will compete with Golden Wind for time.
Then in the next period of time, the whole Yunwei, don't do anything.
˜Dozens of Zhili studios across the company, plus hundreds of cooperative studios, are all involved in the production of this project.
Furthermore, not only all human resources must be invested, but also part of the financial support from Vivendi, the major financier.
Think of this.
Cornick couldn't help but hesitate.
This project is too risky.
Although theoretically speaking, if they succeed, in the next ten years or even decades, Yunwei will dominate the global game industry and become the well-deserved world leader because it is the first to enter this blue ocean of the virtual world.
But if it fails…
The blow is undoubtedly devastating.
At that time, not only the entire Yunwei will fall into unprecedented collapse and annihilation.
It may even shake the always solid relationship between them and Vivendi.
After all, no one knows the face of Vivendi Capital better than Cornick.
As a capital group with multiple developments, Vivendi cannot give up except for its water conservancy project.
Once investment and support in other industries experience an irreversible collapse, Vivendi will choose to survive with a broken arm.
If you win, you will dominate the world.
If you lose, it will fall apart.
Return and risk are always proportional.
Now, it’s time to test Cornick.
Seeing Kaunik's hesitation, Isokoya also knew the president's worries.
However, for any high-risk project like this, the project establishment is not always smooth sailing.
Fortunately.
As a senior gamer, Aesop knows exactly what kind of blueprint structure should be made at this time to capture the hearts of senior executives:
“As we all know, today’s somatosensory cabin game trend is constantly moving towards immersion,”
“The immersiveness of games is not only related to technical aspects such as sound and picture, but also to the richness of gameplay and other aspects.”
Speaking of this.
Isokoa paused for a moment.
He thought for a moment and said:
“Suppose we are going to make a post-apocalyptic survival game. After all, influenced by Minecraft, survival games are becoming more and more popular today, and post-apocalyptic survival is one of the best,”
“According to conventional practices, the essence of doomsday survival games lies in ‘collecting supplies’, ‘defending enemies’ and ‘surviving longer’.”
Hearing this, all the executives nodded.
Cooperative online apocalypse survival means just these elements. Three or five friends form a team and work together to survive.
"but!"
Then, I heard Aesop’s conversation change:
“What if we could add more creative and exploratory content and change the cooperative online model to global network interconnection?”
imagine it!
A huge apocalyptic city.
In a dangerous wasteland where countless zombies and alien species roam, players struggle to survive.
Here, they can avoid zombies, collect supplies, use their creativity, build their own safe hut, and survive like a traditional survival game.
You can also use the remaining radio to call other players who are also survivors, and form a team together to find clues to end this apocalyptic catastrophe.
Or become a gangster, ride on a flying car and rob other players' resources to gain hope of survival.
Here, in order to survive, everything around you is a resource that can be used.
The dangerous wasteland is full of resources and adventures, the intrigues between people, the shining brilliance of humanity and the dark and treacherous conspiracies will all be staged in this vast wasteland.
Survival, shooting, construction, tower defense, social, leisure, farming, racing, PVE, PVP…
All game modes you can imagine can be realized here.
Here day and night change, here the wind and clouds change, and here there are dangers.
This is a paradise for adventurers, a paradise for creators, and a utopia for the brave.
Even, if you are strong enough, you can form gangs, build your own royal rule, and dominate the region.
This is not a game.
This is a whole new world.
A new wasteland world built in a virtual somatosensory cabin.
Every player is Columbus on this virtual continent.
Wow—! !
With the introduction of Aesop, the sound fell!
For a time, the entire conference room was filled with whispers!
It’s incredible!
Just thinking about it, you will feel that this work is so perfect!
As Aesop said.
If they can present such a work!
Then the entire game industry will enter an unprecedented new field because of their leadership!
And this blue ocean of the virtual world, known as the end of somatosensory games, will also open from here, welcoming its first visitor!
The global game market structure will change as a result!
And they, Yunwei, will surely become the masters of this new virtual world era!
Think of this!
Kaonic’s brows finally relaxed!
It’s like an enlightenment!
A kind of clarity and joy that he had never experienced before, from his heart all the way to the top of the sky!
If you don’t break, you won’t build, if you don’t fight, you won’t win!
I can't bear the children and can't hold the wolf, and my wife can't catch the hooligan!
If you want to obtain supreme and stable benefits, you must dare to make bold changes!
"good-!"
After Aesop finished speaking, Kaunike said in a loud voice:
“Today, Yunwei is facing an unprecedented threat,”
“And the catastrophe is now, it cannot be destroyed or established,”
“Director Keya helped the building before it collapsed and turned the tide before it fell,”
“In this case, I think our great project that leverages the efforts of the entire group will be named—”
"Let's watch "On the Eve of Catastrophe"!!"
