There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 401 Brainwashing

  December 2nd.

   "Tomb Raider" and "Battlefield" have been unlocked for two days.

  The first batch of players who bought the game have basically cleared "Tomb Raider".

  The stand-alone process of "Battlefield" is shorter, and almost all players who buy the game have already been exposed to the multiplayer mode.

  The most popular modes of the two games are exactly the opposite...

  Although the prologue and first three chapters of "Battlefield" are liked by many players, the later chapters are a bit weak. This is also the biggest flaw of the "Battlefield" series-the plot has never been comparable to the COD series.

   "Tomb Raider" is a stand-alone campaign with no urine points throughout the whole process. From the first chapter to the final chapter, it is very catchy and highly praised, but the performance of the multiplayer mode is very mediocre.

   This situation.

   would have brought some negative reviews to the game.

  But because the two games were released at the same time and belonged to the same producer, they miraculously complemented each other in the end...

   Gamers who like stand-alone battles highly recommend "Tomb Raider".

   Players who like shooting games and battles recommend "Battlefield", which has a unique charm and a refreshing battle mode with a realistic battlefield atmosphere.

   Throughout Christmas, during the shopping season in Europe and America, Linmu Studio became the biggest winner...

This is the first time for Linmu Studio to test the waters and launch a new game during the holidays in Europe and the United States, but it directly beats the old European and American game manufacturers, and with it, it also allowed Reflecta's consoles to increase their market share during the shopping season. , allowing them to truly replace the acquired Bushnell and become the veritable third largest host manufacturer...

certainly.

   There are reasons why Reflecta is willing to spend money on publicity, and there are also reasons why the other two host manufacturers did not prepare new games.

  Whether Reflecta can secure its position as the third largest host manufacturer depends on their subsequent operations.

   But one thing is certain.

That is.

  Linmu Studio is unrivaled in the limelight, and has become famous in Europe and America.

Although Linmu Studio has launched many popular online games and stand-alone games, such as "The Witch" is very popular, but the distance from being famous is actually almost meaningless... Many European and American stand-alone players have only heard of "The Witch", but they don't know what's behind it. The production company Forest Studio.

   But now, the two masterpieces have been dropped, coupled with the appearance of Lin Yao at the press conference, and the crazy momentum of Reflecta, finally let many European and American players remember Linmu Studio, a game company from the East.

   That's actually pretty amazing.

   You know, Linmu Studio was established less than five years ago.

Aside from major European and American manufacturers, Lin Yao’s previous Japanese manufacturers, which were familiar to European and American players, had a reputation that came only after decades of hard work...Nintendo, Capcom, Sony, Konami, etc. started in the 1990s Make a game.

  So, in such a short period of time, it is really amazing that so many overseas players can remember the company name.

  The popularity of Linmu Studio's game has not only made players remember the production company, but also affected the future production plans of the European and American twins, that is, Gilber Company and Dreamland.

   After all, the game sales revenue during the shopping season accounts for a large proportion for Gilbert and Dreamland.

  This time the games of the two companies were beaten by "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider". They are already considering whether they can imitate and make similar games...

   "Is the environment destruction system in "Battlefield" difficult to implement?"

  Frank looked at the chief technology officer in front of him and asked curiously.

The chief technology officer shook his head lightly: "It's not difficult, I researched it, and the means they implement is not complicated at all, that is, the model prepares several possible effects after attacking from different angles in advance, and then according to the actual game situation Replacement, we can do that too.”

   "Then can we also make a similar game?"

   Frank asked again.

   "..."

The Chief Technology Officer showed a look of embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It is possible, but this kind of environmental damage is only used to enhance the atmosphere of the battlefield, but "Battlefield" is not only about creating a good atmosphere on the battlefield...I can only guarantee that the technology can be realized, But whether the game can be made or not depends on the thinking of the game producer.”

"Understood."

  Frank breathed a sigh of relief.

really.

   Technology is one thing.

  They can too.

  However, how to use technology reasonably in the game, complement each other, and make the game more brilliant, is a test of the ability of the production team...

   After all, if you only have skills, no matter how good the battlefield is, the game is useless if it is not fun.

   "Battlefield" is not only the atmosphere of the battlefield, but also epic scene settings and art, the cooperation of various vehicles and arms, and a unique magnificent momentum...

   All in all it's just...fun.

   This is why many players are willing to buy the game "Battlefield".

   "Okay, you go out."

  Frank thought of this, waved his hand, and let the chief technology officer go out.

   But he himself bowed his head, and seriously considered whether to follow suit and make a similar FPS...

after all.

   Even when he went to play "Battlefield", he was fascinated, and spent more than three hours shopping with others in the multiplayer mode...

   He had to admit.

Linmu Studio, a game company from the East, is really powerful. Although the chief technology officer just said that environmental destruction is not difficult to achieve on a technical level, it is perfectly integrated into the game and directly raises the atmosphere of the battlefield to a higher level. It's really not easy.

  This is still in the case of uneven hardware on the PC side...

  If they were given a console with the same hardware, they would probably be able to maximize the gameplay of a game, right?

  For example, in "Battlefield" this time, if the host is exclusive, they may be able to squeeze out the performance of the host, and then raise the atmosphere of the battlefield again...

   Come to think of it.

  Frank shook his head suddenly, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

   This kind of thing is impossible to happen.

  It is impossible for them to make exclusive games for Reflecta, and their game platform is deeply cultivated on PC, and they are no longer consoles. How could there be such an opportunity...

   "President."

   At this time.

  The secretary knocked lightly on the door and walked in.

"What's up?"

   "Just received a call from Reflecta, Glenn John wants to meet with you tomorrow, do you want to refuse?"

"Oh?"

  Frank smiled when he heard the words, not surprised: "It's only been a few days, and I can't wait to contact me. It seems that their consoles are selling well during this period...It's really **** luck, promise him."

  The secretary nodded.

   "However, they are so impatient, it also indirectly shows that Linmu Studio will not make games for them in the future..."

Frank shook his head and said with a smile: "It's normal. Seeing that those two games have brought such high sales to Reflecta's console, Linmu Studio probably regretted it. How could they be taken advantage of? Knowing how Reflecta convinced them in the first place..."

   "Speaking of which."

  When the secretary heard this, his face suddenly became a little strange.

"What's wrong?"

  Frank looked up.

The secretary hesitated for a moment, and said: "Earlier today, Linmu Studio released a very short video on its own game platform and official social media accounts... Then I saw some players in the comments saying that this seems to be a certain An installed logo that seems to imply... a piece of hardware."

   "?"

  Frank heard the words, and slowly made a question mark, and after saying "how is that possible", he immediately opened the Vaporwave game platform.

  On the homepage of the overseas version of the Vaporwave game platform.

   In the most conspicuous position, a LOGO is playing in a loop.

   on a bright red background.

   Two minimalist style blocks slide up and down, just like installation.

   There was a snap.

   Then keep parallel.

   "...?" Frank looked at this brief animation, as well as the console... (control), 30-day countdown (30-day countdown) and other words that appeared at the end, and slowly made a question mark.

…What does this mean?

  …

at the same time.

  Peria headquarters.

  President and Vice-Governor He is asking the technical staff the same question as Frank.

   That is, can a game like "Battlefield" be made...

   And the answer he got was similar to the answer Frank got.

   can do.

  How far it can be achieved depends on the producer.

  Reflecta has now officially replaced Bushnell, which was acquired from bankruptcy, and has become the third largest host manufacturer.

  There is no way to change this matter.

   Deputy He also calmed down and put away his useless anger.

   Instead of wasting time on unnecessary things, he thought about how to deal with Reflecta next.

certainly.

He has witnessed the success of "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider" this time. If you say he is not moved, it is a lie... After all, these two games have helped Reflecta gain a firm foothold to some extent. Not exclusive.

  Of course he will think about whether he can launch a similar game on his own.

  Listen to the technician's conclusion.

  Fufu He thought for a moment, and then explained to the technical officer: "You will evaluate the feasibility, and then hand over the feasibility report to Shima Shoji."

  Shoji Shima is the ace producer of their well-known first-party studio.

"Yes."

   Tech bent and bowed, then turned and left.

  Deputy He thought for a while, and asked the secretary to call in the new head of the marketing department.

   As for the previous one.

   Has been transferred to Southeast Asia...

   "Is the release date of "Injustice" by Ben Studio confirmed?"

   "Yes! February 1 next year."

  The new head of the marketing department responded respectfully and humbly.

   "Hmm... Check out Reflecta's February release list and show me."

   Deputy He's eyes flickered, and he had already figured out how to deal with his new opponent, Reflecta.

   At the end of the day.

  Reflecta's foundation is still too shallow. The first-party game companies or studios acquired by Hefu Ganfu basically know the details of them, and they can't make very good works.

   As for the works of third-party production companies.

   As long as it's not exclusive, it doesn't make any sense.

  If there is no Linmu Studio who came out halfway this time.

  They will be crushed this shopping season.

"Yes."

  The person in charge of the marketing department bowed respectfully again.

   "In addition, pay special attention to Linmu Studio, which has a particularly good relationship with them. If that company makes any moves, please make a special note."

  The deputy chief of the river added a sentence.

  Although the possibility is not high, if Reflecta convinces Linmu Studio again, there will still be some troubles.

   "...Yes." The person in charge of the marketing department responded, and then showed hesitation.

   "But the possibility should not be great."

Deputy He suddenly shook his head, and said with a smile to himself: "They probably won't make games for Reflecta, after all, I'm going to replace me, and I don't want to continue making wedding dresses for others. Even if the game is released to help others, even if it can make money, it will be used as an excuse for criticism..."

   "President."

  The person in charge of the marketing department carefully interrupted Deputy Chief He.

   "Huh?" Deputy Chief He was a little displeased.

   "The forest studio you mentioned just now, they really have something worth noting. Not long ago, they announced an animation, I always feel a little strange..."

  The person in charge of the marketing department said cautiously.

"strangeness?"

   "Look."

  The person in charge of the marketing department took out his mobile phone, swiped it a few times, and went around to Deputy Chief He's side, picked up the mobile phone with both hands, and handed it to Deputy Chief He respectfully.

  The deputy chief of the river looked down.

  The mobile phone is the official account of Linmu Studio on overseas social media.

   And not long ago, they just sent a tweet.

   The content of the tweet is a short video.

   on a bright red background.

   Two minimalist style blocks slide up and down, just like installation.

   There was a snap.

   Then keep parallel.

  At the same time, two lines of words console... (control) and 30-day countdown (30-day countdown) appeared below.

   "...?"

  He's Deputy Ganfu felt a sudden chill in his heart, raised his head abruptly, and asked, "What do you mean!? What do you mean!?"

   He even asked twice what it meant.

  Because the word console stimulated his nerves.

  consolegame (stand-alone game)? Or... gameConsole (game console)?

   Combined with this installation-like animation...

   "The subordinates don't know."

  The person in charge of the marketing department put away the phone, shook his head, then hesitated for a moment, and continued: "However, I saw some comments saying that this is like a sign of a certain installation, which seems to imply...a certain piece of hardware."

"impossible!"

  He deputy officer immediately refuted.

  The new head of marketing kept his mouth shut.

   After Vice-Governor He swore to refute, he immediately frowned...

  He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "...Did your ex leave for Southeast Asia?"

  …

   Domestic.

  As more people cleared the two games "Tomb Raider" and "Battlefield", more players shared them.

  Related game posts continue to emerge, constantly teasing players.

  Three days.

   For many host players who are unwilling to buy, life feels like years.

   But it’s okay.

   Finally survived.

  Tomorrow, the platform version of the game will be unlocked.

  【It’s really not easy, three days! Three days! Lin Yao! Do you know how I got here these three days? Watch videos of other people playing games every day! 】

  On the largest game forum in China.

front page.

   The first post is the player's complaint...

   But soon.

   This post was taken down...

   What followed was a new post.

  A new official post from Linmu Studio.

  The post didn’t say anything, just posted a very short video.

   on a bright red background.

   Two minimalist style blocks slide up and down, just like installation.

   click...

Then.

   It's over...

this day.

  Vaporwave game platform, social media, Linmu Studio's official website, as long as it is a channel belonging to Linmu Studio, this short animation appeared.

  All players were brainwashed by that slap...

   I don’t know if there are any more, everyone, go to bed early, even if there is, it will be the same as yesterday at five or six o’clock. These two days of rest plus Saturday, I see if I can stay up late and get back to the state...
