Chapter 507: ===507 was abused and cried===(None Edited)
After the cherry blossom viewing, the company re-entered the state of high-frequency development.
Of course, the competition with Suri Electronics is not over. Now the first-party development team can still come up with at least one high-quality game to fight against each month, and then come to several exclusive third-party manufacturers to assist, and Suri The electrons temporarily reach a state of equal shares.
Hayakawa Zhito has the support of YOO's game studio, plus the growing strength of his own first-party development team, so the game lineup is no worse than Take Yuxing's.
It just seems that Suri Electronics is more reluctant to deal with it, and Yuxing Electronics Entertainment is more at ease.
The works produced by the first party of Suri Electronics can only compete with the games developed by the first party of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Zhu Yuxing itself is like a blockbuster. Everyone knows that he has been making a top-level action hunting game. Everyone also believes that this game will inevitably achieve very good results, so Surui Electronics always dare not relax.
The time also came to September in the second half of the year, and Monster Hunter was released as scheduled.
On the first day of the release, many game stores in Tokyo staged the scene of a long queue again.
Just relying on the gimmick of Zhu Yuxing's full production supervision is enough to attract the attention of most players.
Suri Electronics and Youxing Electronic Entertainment competed very well before, but this month, it is wise to not compete head-on, because Zhu Youxing is really scary, and it must not directly compete with the game that Zhu Youxing is fully supervised.
Those who dared to do this in the past did not have good fruit to eat.
From the survey on the Internet, we can also know that the game players most want to play this month is also Monster Hunter.
Monster Hunter itself has a very attractive action system, and the most sophisticated graphics of the current GSL handheld also attract players into the game world.
However, in some posts, some players who have played the trial also reminded others that this game is very difficult, and it is different from the popular games on the market now, so you need to be careful when buying, I am afraid it is not suitable for all players.
But that doesn't stop players' enthusiasm for the game.
Murakami, as a fan of Zhu Yuxing, and a very professional person in the game evaluation industry, also gave this game a high-quality game score of four and a half stars.
Obviously, Murakami also likes this game very much, and can also adapt to such difficulty, which also makes players believe in this game more unconditionally.
In the first week of its debut, it achieved more than one million sales.
Sales of one million in the first week are no longer uncommon for Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Especially the game produced by Zhu Yuxing, it is big news without the first week million.
This is a strong popularity accumulated over ten years.
However, the real data is not too optimistic.
According to the sales curve of the first week, the sales volume on the first day reached more than 500,000, and on the second day it dropped to 300,000.
This represents 800,000 units sold in the first two days of the first week.
But the last five days of the week only brought in more than 200,000 sales.
This sales volume can be regarded as a cliff-like decline.
If it is a real hot-selling top game based on the sales volume of 500,000 on the first day, it is not impossible for the sales to exceed 2 million in the first week.
However, on the premise of 500,000 on the first day, Monster Hunter only achieved sales of just over one million in the first week. This situation is indeed not optimistic.
"It seems that the game is still a bit difficult, and many people have been persuaded."
Zhu Youxing looked at the sales data and immediately knew what caused the low sales.
Monster Hunter wasn't particularly popular in the beginning because of its high difficulty.
But this game is a series that really stimulates the enthusiasm of online fighting, but the real hot time is also the launch of the handheld version.
His first release was the handheld version, and he would have thought that it would be easier to accept than the first generation of the previous life.
In terms of sales, it is definitely more successful than the previous life. The first generation of this world had one million sales in the first week, which is not easy.
However, this is the sales volume based on the fame of Takeyusei.
If it is handed over to an unknown person to develop Monster Hunter, whether the sales can exceed 300,000 is a problem.
As a die-hard fan of Zhuyouxing, Tian Chong naturally started Monster Hunter right away, and because of his long-term trial experience at the carnival, he quickly adapted to the difficulty of Monster Hunter.
He felt that the launch version was simpler than the demo version of Carnival.
The three Aiko, who are now aspiring to become a female developer of the game Iron Triangle, also bought the Monster Hunter game.
It just so happened that the three of them and Tian Chong could form a four-person monster crusade team, and they could get together to hunt together during the study meeting.
But this is only a rare case.
Most players who buy Monster Hunter encounter a situation that is confusing.
What kind of scary monster is this?
Why is a wild boar king so powerful, and this is just a little BOSS monster that I saw for the first time?
How terrifying is that cool dragon on the cover? They couldn't even think about it.
Even in the online state, the mentality of many players has been broken by the high difficulty.
Immediately afterwards, a group of players went to the Internet to complain without hesitation.
"This monster hunter is really difficult! Why is it so difficult? How should I play this?"
"Please help, how to deal with the savage collision of the wild boar king? It seems that the wild boar king will suddenly become angry at a certain period, and then the attack frequency suddenly suddenly Soaring, I can't beat it!"
"Upstairs, I will teach you the easiest way, using a light crossbow, it can smash the head of the wild boar king from a distance, it is absolutely effective!"
"Thank you very much, I finally succeeded in defeating the wild boar king. But how do you fight the big monster in the back? This thing is more terrifying than the Boar King!"
"Is this a game made by the God of Games? It really ruins my mentality, I obviously trust the game of the God of Games so much. , but now that I've been abused, I don't have any intention of playing anymore."
"Warning! Newbies should never buy this game, this is definitely your nightmare, and you will definitely regret it!"
"5000 yen to play only After an hour of Monster Hunter, is there anyone who wants to buy it?"
"I'm offering 4,900 yen, does anyone want to buy it?"
"Bastard! Don't disturb the market price!"
"4,800 yen..."
"4,700... "
"3..."
There are a lot of players complaining on the Internet, especially the official forum, which is almost overwhelmed by such comments. Whether it is the monster hunter area or other game areas, there are now posts complaining about the monster hunter, like a prairie fire. block.
Chapter 508: ===508 Internet Boom ===(None Edited)
"President, it seems that the halo of Zhu Yuxing's game god is about to be shattered."
In the president's office of Suri Electronics, a group of middle and high-level game departments are gathering here, the atmosphere is very of ease.
Although Youxing Electronic Entertainment can refuse to announce the sales of any games, Suri Electronics can also have its own channels to investigate the approximate and accurate sales of some games, but it may still be a mystery to the public.
There is nothing wrong with the industry wanting to investigate something.
Through their investigations, they have known the approximate sales of Monster Hunter.
The first week million is really scary.
However, the rate of decline in sales is also very fast. According to this trend, the sales volume in the second week may be reduced to no more than 300,000.
This is already a very bad result for the God of Games.
Many of the game works made by Zhu Yuxing before have been rising steadily, and I have never seen such a ruthless reduction.
"The god of games will always fall to the altar. This is normal. It would be really scary if he could stay in the cloud all the time.
" If the opponent shows weakness, it will be easy."
Hayakawa Ukito, as the president, naturally needs to remind his subordinates all the time.
Zhu Yuxing should be regarded as a loss this time.
This also allows me to take a breath here, and the pressure will not be so great.
At the same time, Hayakawa Ueto also regretted a little bit. If he logged into a first-party game on his side during the same period, he should be able to take advantage of the poor sales of Monster Hunter to take away some players.
Thinking of this, Hayakawa Ukito asked: "Is there any first-party games that can be released in advance in the past two days? Maybe we can take this opportunity to win some player markets."
His subordinates immediately understood Hayakawa Ukito's meaning and immediately said: " We have a fighting game that we originally wanted to compete with Street Fighter, and we may be able to do it earlier, but the adjustment of the action values has not yet reached the perfect state in our hearts."
"Is "Fighting Peak" right?"
"That's right. "
Haakawa Ukito remembered this game, it was the game he requested to develop, and he had done a lot of publicity before, and the players were also very interested and wanted to try a fighting game other than Street Fighter.
Only one fighting game is naturally impossible to satisfy the appetite of all such players, and the development of similar games has naturally become one of Surui Electronics' plans.
It is a pity that the action value has not reached the perfect state as imagined.
But he has seen the finished product before, and it is actually very good.
This has to once again lament the power of Unreal Engine. It is not only capable of developing 3D games, but also very good at 2D games. Among them, there are many public action values that can be used directly. Suri Electronics only needs to take these values further. The optimization can be done relatively well, and it is really very friendly to developers.
It can be said that there is no Unreal Engine, and now the development team of Surui Electronics is still in a state of being hanged.
But this has created another problem, that is, the dependence on Unreal Engine is too strong, I really don't know whether this is good or bad.
After thinking for a while, Hayakawa Ueto said directly: "Then let the game be released in advance, announce it today, and then immediately arrange the production of the disc factory, and it will be officially released in three days."
There is a very big advantage of CD production . It is quick to make and the cost is very low.
If the cassette starts from arranging factory production, it will probably take at least half a month to make a million-scale cassette.
However, if multiple factories are operating at full power, it is not a problem to suppress millions of game discs a day.
Hayakawa Ueto said that the official release in three days still calculated the time of transportation to each store.
Surui Electronics is also very good at production and transportation scheduling. Many CD-ROM factories in the United States, Japan, and Europe have opened at the same time, and the major consumer areas of video games can quickly spread.
Hayakawa Zhiren wants to take this opportunity to take away players from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
However, he is not particularly optimistic, because this is just a loss of Zhuyouxing, and it is not because of the quality of the game, but because the difficulty setting of the game is unreasonable, which has led to many players being persuaded to quit. Players themselves are highly sought after by Zhuyouxing. Still not much weakened, so still can not be careless.
Having said that, Hayakawa Ukito also considered launching a work similar to Monster Hunter before, hoping that he would not be too far behind Zhu Yuxing. Put this type of game aside, even if it is really developed, it should not be set too difficult to avoid scaring players away.
Compared to Hayakawa's calm treatment, YOO's boss Nagao Yu is more excited.
It is very rare for Zhuyouxing to roll over, or it has never happened.
As an Internet portal, he must be well publicized.
The rollover of Zhuyouxing will definitely be a very traffic topic.
As a result, news headlines on the Internet about Zhuyouxing's tragic death in Waterloo and the fear that Zhuyouxing's game god will fall to the altar began to flood the homepage of YOO-related portal websites. He also rejected several expensive advertising revenue.
As long as I can see Zhuyouxing overturn, I am happier than making a lot of money myself.
Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also launched its own counterattack for the headlines of YOO-related portal news that attracted attention.
Even if you lose, you have to lose the battle. Facebook immediately reversely promoted Zhuyouxing's game on its own news platform to maintain Zhuyouxing's reputation.
The die-hard fans of Youxing Electronic Entertainment also joined in.
It's not that the game is not fun, and the graphics are not bad, but the difficulty is really high, and there is no difficulty adjustment function. This is indeed a failure. Some people claim that as long as the difficulty adjustment function is introduced, it is easier for people to accept such difficulty. They should really want to play this game.
However, the official of Youxing Electronic Entertainment quickly rejected this request.
The essence of Monster Hunter is high-difficulty hunting, and the difficulty adjustment function is not suitable for Monster Hunter.
The YOO team climbed right away, accusing Yuxing Electronic Entertainment of having become arrogant and no longer willing to listen to the voices of players and only make games that they want to make. Such a company is destined to be taught by the market to be a man, I am afraid Zhu Yuxing Its own status as the god of games will also be in jeopardy, and even Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself seems to be rendered by them as a posture that is about to go bankrupt because it does not conform to the market. The price of the purchase of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in advance, 'goodwill' help Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to stop the loss.
