Chapter 549 The expectations are off the charts! The days of abundant wealth are out of control!
There is a play!
There’s something going on, folks!
Shen Miaomiao raised her head and carefully analyzed Lao Gu's micro-expression.
Oh no, it can no longer be called a "micro-expression". After all, Lao Gu's grinning expression can no longer be obvious.
Look at the grinning corners of the mouth, the frowning brows, and the eyes full of shock.
It all means the arrival of an unprecedented crisis and the encounter with the most difficult battle situation!
“Is it difficult to solve?”
To be sure, Shen Miaomiao asked one more question.
"Well…"
Hearing this, the expression on Gu Sheng's face was even more indescribable.
How to say?
After all, this thing is completely beyond the scope of "game".
If you ask me whether works like "Lord of the Rings: Gollum", "Phantom: Torii" and "Yexia Island" are easy for us to solve, then I can clearly say that they are all garbage games and are not worthy of consideration. Considering that with the quality of our games, we will be able to easily defeat them in the confrontation.
But this "Before the Cataclysm"...
“Tsk, it’s hard to say,”
Gu Sheng couldn't think of how to explain to Xiao Nezha the incredible extent of this heavyweight work:
“There is a high probability that we won’t even have a chance to take action.”
It is true.
Long before the release of Sheng 8, they had already made plans to release "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II" at this E3.
As the greatest second-generation FPS work in history, this work theoretically has no rivals in today's parallel world.
It’s the same for everyone, they will all end up getting killed, no surprises.
But the problem is—
Can "Before the Fall" really survive until the end of "Modern Warfare 2"?
or—
Does this thing really need to be eradicated by Task Force 141 personally?
Gu Sheng was a little worried about its vitality.
I'm afraid this guy will die suddenly before they can take action.
——! !
Is it so powerful? !
Hearing Gu Sheng's prediction, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but be secretly surprised!
We don’t even have a chance to take action?
Is this "Eve of Catastrophe" so invincible? Not even giving them a chance to take action? Once it is announced, the game will lose its suspense, and with a one-sided advantage, Lao Gu's proud Modern Warfare series will be reduced to **** in seconds?
Good guy!
Looking at the five-year history of Golden Wind from its inception to the present day!
There is really no game that can make Lao Gu so desperate!
How much money will I lose from this!
Shen Miaomiao's big eyes were filled with the shining light of gold coins!
Don’t even give him a chance to take action! Instant kill!
what does that mean?
This means that no matter how much money you invest, the final result will be a total loss!
and!
Although this Modern Warfare 2 project still has technological improvements, the Takasugi Group, which is newly affiliated to Golden Wind, will integrate neural security technology into the work.
But unlike the situation of Phoenix and Fantasy, the Takasugi group was not brought into the group through “acquisition”.
Therefore, the Modern Warfare 2 project will not have the "established project" restriction, and there will also be no "rebate rate reduced to 1/5" debuff.
Ten times the rebate! Enjoy it in full!
If you lose one sword, you will get ten swords back; if you lose ten swords, you will get a hundred swords!
The days of making huge profits and making a lot of money are simply out of control!
This is it!
It’s still the multiplier she can get if she doesn’t pull any rebates at all.
And according to what Lao Gu said, "In the face of Yunwei's offensive, they didn't even have a chance to make a move." If she is willing, she can even extend the rebate time for Modern Warfare 2. , making the rebate ratio even greater!
I dare not say that I can directly ask for a hundredfold rebate in one quarter.
After all, the base of “butter gamers” is here, and no matter how good Eve is, it cannot completely block their sales of Modern Warfare 2.
Besides, there is no acquisition this time, so the cost structure of the project is only "engine upgrade cost" + "project development cost", and the total investment will not be too outrageous.
She didn’t dare to fill it up directly.
You can gamble for at least forty more days and get a fifty-fold rebate on one hand, right?
However, the amount of basic losses will definitely be weakened.
But the magnification is too high.
One sword gets fifty swords back!
In this way, even if you only lose one to two hundred million dollars, the rebate will be five billion or even tens of billions of dollars!
My old swan...
Think of this.
Shen Miaomiao's lips were harder to suppress than the 2.5x scope C8 with an extended barrel in Cailiuli.
The joy comes after all the hardships, family members.
Tell me where I can go to reason with you.
I used to be attracted by the rebates, but they stayed away from me, like a little beauty fishing for a boiling sheep.
But now, the rebate has become my licking dog, begging to be sent to my small treasury.
So annoying.
This kind of life without any troubles and with tens of billions at your fingertips is really unchallenging and boring.
whee.
“Oh, okay,”
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao became particularly concerned about Gu Sheng's condition. She put her little hand on his chest and stroked it comfortingly:
"You are so powerful, but you may not be able to do anything about it by then. Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige." "Huh?"
Gu Sheng was a little confused.
Why do you think that exalting other people's ambitions can destroy your own prestige? When did I destroy my prestige? What are you talking about?
However, before Gu Sheng could say more, he saw little Nezha getting up and turning off the bedside lamp.
eaten.
The bedroom suddenly fell into a peaceful darkness.
“I’m sleeping, I’m sleepy, I’m sleepy,”
Shen Miaomiao put down her mobile phone, and half of Shen Miaomiao's body was mounted on her exclusive pillow. She gave her a good night kiss in the dark, and closed Gu Sheng's doubtful eyes:
“It’s bedtime, good night, I love you.”
"Ah? Ah...good night...good..."
After a set of silky little combos, Gu Sheng was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just turned around and kissed little Nezha's forehead, then closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
…
This way!
The "Golden Wind High-rise" sleeps peacefully in the same bed.
And the other side!
Yunwei on the other side of the ocean, a meeting full of tension is going on.
“…Why should we remove the watermark [the content is only for gameplay display, the final effect is subject to the actual trial machine]?”
At the conference table, Firebird Chief Art Director Isokoya frowned and looked at the manager of the publicity department:
“Didn’t I say before that this sentence must be included in the trailer?”
joke!
It’s just a big joke!
Isokoa's whole person looked like a volcano on the verge of erupting. His frown and clenched fists all showed his nervousness and anxiety.
The operation of "applying UI filters to CG" itself is very contrary to his game production philosophy!
Give a movie-level rendered CG video and put it on a fake heads-up display UI. This operation is no different from a scam in the eyes of any qualified game producer.
Even if it is not fraud, it is deceptive guidance.
He didn’t want to do it originally.
But the pressure from Vivendi was too great, and the sponsor, who was eager to see the results and get reassurance, spoke up, so he had no choice but to do it.
His only requirement for this extremely deceptive "trailer" is to add a sentence in an inconspicuous position: "The content is only for gameplay demonstration, the final effect will be subject to the actual test machine."
In this way, even if the subjective intention of this trailer is still deceptive guidance, it still leaves a way out for itself.
Aesop knew very well that the final effect of "Before the Cataclysm" would never reach the level shown in CG.
After all, they currently do not have top-level graphics engine support, and secondly, they do not have top-level motion sensing cabin auxiliary technology support.
In just half a year, it can be considered a success if we can initially complete 50% of the gameplay mentioned in the promotional video while reducing industrial quality requirements.
But now.
The originally well-written watermark reminder in the video—their escape route—was removed when it was officially released!
And this directly led to an uproar in the entire gaming circle—!
‘This is actually a live screen! Oh My God! Simply incredible! ’
OMG...Can Yunwei really achieve this level of industrial quality presentation? This is too exaggerated! ’
‘It can only be said that Yunwei is indeed a top global manufacturer with a profound foundation and strong technical reserves...'
‘It seems that Yunwei is going to really show off his strength this time’
‘Amazing! It’s hard to imagine that this is actually a real machine demonstration screen…’
‘Perhaps they only did these few paragraphs (doge)’
‘But this is enough to illustrate the overall structure and industrial quality of the game’
‘It is no exaggeration to say that this will be a landmark work that can rewrite the current game situation and even determine the future development’
‘It’s so shocking…’
‘Oh my god…I can’t even imagine how fun this game is’
‘If successful, this will be an epoch-making work’
‘It’s incredible, it’s a work of art’
‘A thief…’
‘Unbelievable…’
‘…’
The seamless integration of CG and UI fooled everyone!
At the same time, it also made the discussion and expectations of "Eve of Catastrophe" explode instantly!
“This is what the higher-ups want, Aesop,”
Before the manager of the publicity department could answer, Vice President Petain spoke first. He waved his hand to signal Aesop not to be so nervous:
“In fact, the senior management was very satisfied after seeing our trailer, and they were even willing to further increase their investment in us, and tried to persuade more investors to believe in us.”
Pétain was right.
With the release of this "real machine trailer", the gaming circle was shocked.
Correspondingly, naturally, investors are confident and the overall market attitude is changing to a warmer trend.
Within just two hours of the release of the trailer, Yunwei’s stock price began to rise.
This was a situation that was unimaginable before.
Seeing this situation, Vivendi, as the parent company of the financial institution, is naturally deeply satisfied and full of confidence.
In this way—
The market is confident, stock prices are rising, investors are positive, and investments are increasing.
It is completely in a state of prosperity!
Therefore, Pétain was really a little puzzled by Aesop's "disaster-like" attitude:
“Isn’t today’s situation more favorable for our project development?”
