Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

"Chen Lin, have you seen the game sales last week?"

After sorting out the materials, Lao Song quickly found Chen Lin who was busy in the office.

"Well, I just watched it, and it's all good."

Chen Lin's calm voice came, and he didn't seem surprised by this achievement.

Lao Song looked strangely, but found that he was frowning and staring at the computer.

"What's wrong?"

"You'll find out when you come and take a look."

Chen Lin didn't explain too much, but swiped the mouse in his hand.

This made Lao Song even more puzzled, and hurriedly walked around the desk and came to him.

Just one glance.

I saw the message page being opened on the computer.

【The latest daily report, Juhard, Sony, Nintendo and several other companies will create a new console platform this year, and release the second-generation console products in the near future, fully entering the console market. 】

"This is."

"Those big factories abroad have also started to do it."

Chen Lin said leisurely, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Because this news happened so coincidentally, it was the time when the game market on their side was accelerating.

If.

If the host market on their side was still in the development stage before.

The strong participation of these three major manufacturers is undoubtedly a blockbuster, completely blowing up the market.

After all, before this, the three companies did not regard the console market as a key project.

Now that the public statement is made, it is obvious that the rise of the game industry is expected, and the focus is shifted to this industry.

And they can announce it now, they must have been preparing for more than a year, otherwise there are too few new games on the console platform, and it is impossible to attract players into the pit.

"This game market is really about to change." Chen Lin couldn't help feeling emotional.

"This may be a good thing for us." Lao Song said in a deep voice.

"Indeed." Chen Lin nodded. "At that time, we can consider multi-platform interoperability. The three companies will enter the arena at the same time. There must be a great demand for new games. At that time, there will be an open recruitment."

"With the rise of the console side, it is estimated that many manufacturers will join in. What game do you think is better to start our first battle in the wild?"

The console side is different from the PC side, and it is called "the game in the living room".

Although it does not require a wide field like VR, the gaming experience is still a bit different from that of a computer.

certainly.

Some people like to install it in the room, mainly depends on personal preference.

If you want to say the difference, that is, the operation of the mouse keyboard and the handle are different.

Chen Lin thought for a long time, and said: "Since this is the first battle to officially enter the console market, it must be played well so that players will remember us. A new game may not be enough."

"You mean to make two models?" Lao Song was startled when he heard this.

With the current manpower of their studio, it is still a bit difficult to make two large-scale games at the same time, unless the production cycle is lengthened.

But in that case, I am afraid that the best time to enter the host side will not be caught up.

"Yes, there are two, and we don't make large-scale games, so the production cycle is too long and it may be a bit rushed."

"Then what are you going to do?" Lao Song was a little puzzled.

"It's up to you to ask the players what they want. After all, I don't have a deep understanding of the console market."

The trajectory of the game industry in the two worlds is different, and Chen Lin dare not guarantee that the market demand for consoles will be the same.

The easiest and most practical way is to directly ask the players for their opinions.

So after the words fell, he also got up with the notepad on the table, left the office and went outside, while Lao Song followed him with a puzzled expression.

"boss."

"Director Song."

Seeing them appear, the busy employees greeted one after another.

Chen Linchao nodded to them, and came to the office of the executive Xiaoli, with one hand on the partition.

"Xiaoli, what console games do you usually play at home?"

"Huh? Me?"

When asked suddenly, Xiaoli stopped working, put her finger on her chin and recalled: "It should be more casual games like Xiaoxiaole and Parkour. I really don't want to play too tiring games during the break."

"And me and me!"

At this time, Doubi Xiaowei, who was passing by, heard their conversation, and hurried up.

"Mr. Chen, are you collecting opinions from players?"

Her voice was so loud that it spread throughout the office area at once, causing the employees to look over.

Chen Lin looked around, and said with a smile: "It's about the same. You can raise any opinions you have. It's best to play the game you want to play most at home when you rest at home. It needs to be played on the console."

Host side!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Is the boss going to expand the business on the host platform?

And it looks like it is collecting opinions to determine the direction of the next project.

This is a big deal, they can't help but ignore it.

Immediately, Xiaowei said: "On the host side, I usually play more sports and business games, because my family will disturb me from time to time, so I don't like games that need to focus on playing. It's best to be able to play at any time." Stop that."

"Mr. Chen, and me, I usually play Need for Speed ​​in our studio when I get home!"

"For me, I prefer games that can be played by multiple people, because my family often has friends as guests."

"Indeed, there are very few two-player games on the host side. Every time, my friends watch me play. It's embarrassing after a long time."

"You can let them play Super Bunny Man, haha."

In the office area, you talk to me, and you are all trying to put forward your own opinions and play experience, which makes this place lively.

And as practitioners in the game industry, game devices at home are indispensable, and the penetration rate of host devices is much higher than outside.

Chen Linfei wrote quickly, and wrote down the general thoughts of each of them in the notepad, and finally gradually came to an idea.

To sum it up.

If you want to be relaxed and not afraid of being disturbed, and you can play with multiple people, the requirements are a bit unexpected.

But it's okay to think about it carefully.

The living room is a place for many families to rest and relax. They are exhausted after commuting and returning from get off work every day. They definitely don’t want to play games that require mental effort.

And as a place to receive guests, it is naturally best for multiple people to play together, so that there will be no embarrassing situation where one person plays the game while others watch.

"I think, I probably know what game to make."

A confident smile appeared on Chen Lin's face.

"So fast?"

Lao Song next to him was stunned, with a "you are so fast" expression.

"Well, according to everyone's opinions, I plan to make a two-player game and a multiplayer management game, focusing on a relaxing and leisure game."

"It's not bad for two people to break through the level, but if it's run by multiple people, what are you going to do?"

"Kitchen!" Chen Lin responded in a deep voice.

"And I'm going to make a special promotional animation for this game. If the theme is... I'll focus on chefs. I believe players will like it."

After finishing speaking, he slowly closed the notepad in his hand, and could vaguely see two lines of small text.

"Two People Going Together"—.

"Outcry in the Kitchen" - The Little Master of China
