Chapter 343: ===343 I can finally play with you===(None Edited)
This time the demo did not describe the plot of the game too much, but showed the subsequent BOSS in the game.
This is an impressive boss fight, and unlike the original first boss, this one clearly requires a more calculated strategy to be able to overcome.
And this is a demo video, which obviously cannot satisfy the players.
The closer it gets to the release date, the more impatient players are.
This reminded Zhu Yuxing of the mentality when he had been waiting for some popular games.
Like the countdown to the release of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Take Yusei still remembers that he took a leave of absence and stayed up all night to finish the game.
There's also the legendary old man ring, and the controversial Cyberpunk 2077.
The reactions of these players are exactly the same as they were at the beginning.
However, the release date will not change.
When the March release date arrived, other game makers seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Even Lierda, who was the most arrogant and always wanted to overthrow Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, deliberately avoided Yuxing Electronic Entertainment this month.
Because this month is the release date of Final Fantasy 7.
Seriously, their own employees wanted to experience the epoch-making game for themselves.
In the last few months of development, the rest of Zhu Yuxing is to constantly polish the game CG, and try to make the CG animation of this game reach the current extreme.
These CG animations cost a full 110 million US dollars after the final calculation.
It's really a big deal.
If you take into account the long-term publicity costs, labor costs, etc. of the game, the total development cost has exceeded 170 million US dollars, which is a veritable big investment.
Some investors from Wall Street are also eyeing Final Fantasy 7 at this time.
From the beginning of the birth of Final Fantasy 7, it seems to have attracted a lot of attention, which is much stronger than the previous life.
Although Final Fantasy 7 in the previous life also had the foreshadowing of the previous work, it did not have such a great influence at the beginning.
At that time, Final Fantasy 7 was actually a work that Square did its best at that time.
They bet almost all their treasures on this game, and they are obviously inferior to Youxing Electronic Entertainment in terms of publicity.
On release day, there were long queues at all retail stores.
Even players who are not interested in role-playing are attracted by the plot they first experienced.
They are a complete plot experience party, and the number of people is comparable to that of loyal role-playing players.
This shows that the plot is really fascinating.
When Final Fantasy 7 was officially released, people rushed into retail stores like crazy to grab a copy of the Final Fantasy 7 game disc.
In the beginning, a group of business-savvy people immediately recognized the opportunity.
They quickly collected some money, and then prepared to go to major retail stores and department stores to hang out in advance to buy game CDs in advance.
In their opinion, such a popular product must sell well.
However, they seem to have underestimated the production capacity of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
In other words, the manufacturing cost and mass production scale of the disc itself are terrifying.
As long as Youxing Electronic Entertainment handed over the game data to the CD-ROM production factory, their factory can continue to produce all night long.
For this reason, Songqiao also specially contacted the optical disc manufacturers in North America to temporarily increase production.
The production base of game consoles may not be able to be built in the United States in a short time, but there is no problem with the mass production of discs.
So this time the supply is quite sufficient.
From the very beginning, Zhu Yuxing resolutely asked Songqiao to prepare at least five million goods in the United States.
In Japan, three million goods were also prepared.
That's about half of what the GS1 console is selling now.
A game accounts for half of the sales of game consoles, and Zhu Yuxing can also be regarded as a gamble.
But he was still very confident.
Because he has already determined one thing through the player feedback from the trial game.
Final Fantasy 7 is also popular in this world, and they are also very interested in the world view of this setting.
Then, the rest is to produce as many game discs as possible.
For those savvy guys, the so-called scalpers.
They did not expect that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's supply of goods was so sufficient, but they suffered a huge loss because of it.
However, this has nothing to do with Zhu Yuxing. Zhu Yuxing has now put aside the matter of Final Fantasy 7 and is ready to follow up on the next new project.
However, the three teams that have already completed Final Fantasy 7 gave them a week off so they can relax and have time for their game-creating loyalists to experience their own games for themselves.
Today, there are not many people who really understand the overall plot of the game.
Even the people in the game development team are only responsible for their own content, and generally have little contact.
On the contrary, the special effects team knew the plot of the game in advance because of the special effects. At this moment, they are feeling sad because they knew the plot in advance.
"Thank you very much for your unremitting efforts. You can relax today. I will give you a week's vacation. Go back and play this miracle game you created, and enjoy the game that we brought ourselves. Let's have a feast."
When the game was officially released, Zhu Yuxing distributed an exclusive game CD to every employee involved in the production.
They cheered immediately after hearing the holiday that Zhu Yuxing gave them, and then excitedly took the CD and got ready to go home and have a good time playing.
As the head of a development team, Uesugi was the most obsessed with Final Fantasy.
In addition to being a producer, he also prefers to call himself a gamer.
He still vividly remembers the words Zhu Yuxing said a long time ago. It was the famous saying of Brother Cong in his previous life.
And now, when he got the CD of Final Fantasy 7's full version, he was quite emotional.
This game is created by myself.
Everything inside has its own imprint.
Although he already knew the entire plot of the game and was familiar with the gameplay, when he took the CD home, he couldn't wait to put the full version of the CD into the GS1 console.
With the familiar Final Fantasy Crystal Overture melody, Uesugi couldn't help but tear up a little from the corner of his eyes.
It's finally time to play with you, my old friend.
Chapter 344: ===344 The first day of the quiet debut===(None Edited)
This is the most serious game Uesugi has participated in the production of so far.
At the beginning, the huge investment proposed by Zhu Yuxing put a lot of pressure on him.
This made him have to work hard with the other two partners to ensure the smooth development of the game from the beginning.
As time passed, he found himself gradually indulging in this new worldview.
In this world, everyone seems to be alive.
They have their own rich emotions, and their own different life trajectories.
When the entire game development was over, he and the heads of the other two development teams were a little disappointed.
A sad but unforgettable story was finally born from my own hands.
When he officially started to operate the protagonist Claude in the game and started the adventure, the whole person's spirit was completely concentrated.
Even if he already knows all the details of the plot and all the gameplay, he is not willing to give up any detail in this game.
At the same time in the United States, many people who got the first-hand Final Fantasy 7 CD also couldn't wait to return home, quickly put the CD into the GS1, and the game officially started running.
This time, the adults were playing the game seriously with the controller, while their children were also patiently watching the adventures of their respective fathers beside him.
"Dad, why does this protagonist look so weird with hair like a hedgehog?"
"I'm afraid this is the designer's bad taste, but that's not the point."
As a father, this man has become addicted to the fine CG animation of the game in the beginning.
Just for this opening animation to be attractive enough, Take Yusei invested 10 million US dollars.
The total length of this CG is only three minutes, a total of 180 seconds, which is almost to say that the cost of one second has reached $500,000, which is very amazing.
It is precisely because of this excellent opening animation that it attracted many picture parties.
In the past, the picture of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has always been slightly behind other products of the same period.
Sometimes you have to admit that good picture quality can indeed offset other shortcomings to a certain extent.
Unless the game's other flaws are really hopeless.
All previous games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are fun and interesting, and they are also more innovative.
But when the GS1, a high-performance game console, was born, all the rules changed.
The GS1 catapulted itself into a state-of-the-art gaming console.
Its performance is certainly still not as good as the top PCs.
But because of its self-enclosed system and the ability to use all the performance of the chip for game computing, the actual demonstration effect is not much worse than that of a traditional PC.
At this moment, people finally experience the feeling of the next era.
That beautiful picture really makes people linger.
Even if many of these players have already watched this CG animation in advance through the trial game.
But when you play it again, you will still be shocked by this animation.
Similarly, as a fellow Hayakawa Ueto, he has also picked up the handle and entered the world where he finally changed to 7.
He has to admit that this product of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is really powerful.
No game company has dared to spend so much money before.
Because the previous low-cost and small-scale game development model was also created by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, other companies have been thinking of following the trend to develop games behind Yuxing Electronic Entertainment because they are too conservative.
But in a blink of an eye, they turned around gorgeously, stepping on the rocket and flying high into the sky, and the other chasers who were thrown were not even seen.
Just this excellent game opening CG animation is not something that other game companies can do now.
First of all, they do not have a mature game industry development system, and secondly, they have no relevant CG development experience.
As for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they have already developed high-quality CG through their strong engine development capabilities and previous experience in cooperating with special effects blockbusters.
This is a complete dimensionality reduction blow for other peers.
If other peers want to follow the footsteps of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, it will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars to build a game industry similar to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
And now, which companies have this financial strength?
Wait...
Hayakawa Ueto suddenly remembered a group of people.
They are the most loyal third-party game developers of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
The most loyal subjects of the company will definitely be supported by the most advanced technology of the company.
In this way, it is probably not only Yuxing Electronic Entertainment who is in the leading position, but also those game companies that follow him.
When Hayakawa Ueto thought of this, he suddenly felt infinite pressure.
No, he has to find a way to really set up his own game industry, especially in terms of CG special effects, he has to do the same.
But fortunately, Suri Electronics has a lot of money, and their company also has a film and television group. It should not be a problem to poach a few people from there to help him develop game CG together.
Hayakawa Ukito realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to lead the world as much as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
While thinking so, he entered the game interface and started the story of Final Fantasy 7.
In one family after another, the same Crystal Overture music played at this very moment.
On the internet, discussions about Final Fantasy 7 started to rise exponentially.
No game so far has this kind of treatment, which makes Final Fantasy 7 so extraordinary.
If the entire process of this game is cleared at the fastest speed, it will take about thirty hours.
If it is an ordinary player, the clearance time is about 60 hours.
In other words, on the first day, even if the player bursts liver, they will not be able to play the ending at all.
So now the whole network is more about admiring the amazing CG animation of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, as well as this new and fascinating world.
The community maintainers of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are constantly observing the trends of the community at this moment.
As soon as there is bells and whistles, they will act immediately.
For example, some more serious spoilers.
Before that, Zhu Yuxing gave them a standard.
The progress of the story discussed in the community every day cannot be too fast, because if it is too fast, some slower players will experience a poor experience.
This is a game that is completely driven by the plot. If you don't control the progress of the propaganda of the plot, the negative effects will be quite serious.
However, the overall time is only about a week or so.
The first day has passed, and the fastest player has walked out of the city of Final Fantasy 7 Midgar at this moment, to a new and wider land, and at the same time, has entered a reminiscence storyline, which is used to promote the development of the entire plot line. .
So far, it's still calm.
