releases the task, as well as the main line process of playing chicken blood Final Fantasy 7, which is about ten hours to twenty hours, of course, the time for text dialogue is excluded.
=== I am genuinely confused whats the meaning of previous text ===
This is not too long in the main line process in previous role-playing games.
But if you do some side quests, and then play some small games or something, a role-playing game can allow people to play patiently for sixty or seventy hours.
This is now considered the standard length for role-playing games.
In the past, some game companies wanted to increase the overall length of the plot, but the final results were not very good. Many commentators thought that such a long story made people feel a little sleepy.
However, the real reason is not that the main line of the game is too long, but that the content is too repetitive.
Those developers who want to deliberately lengthen the game time cannot find more elements that can be added in a short period of time, but simply increase the repetitive content of the game itself.
And this time Zhu Yuxing wants to open up the whole world view pattern.
GS1 is the door to a new era, and Takeyusei hopes that Final Fantasy 7 can be that key.
In the face of Yuki Uesugi's question, Zhu Yuxing answered one question directly, which made everyone stunned.
The gameplay, world map size, content, plot, etc. proposed by Zhu Yuxing in the project case have directly raised a dimension, which was not dared to think in the past.
And they just imagined that the cost of such game development will not be low. The labor cost of a team of four or five hundred people is a lot of money, not to mention other resources. This is somewhat of a gamble.
In the past, the development of games has been controlled within a certain range. Generally, the investment of a game is about less than five million US dollars. Only a few top series games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment have been developed for tens of millions of US dollars.
This also makes many people in the industry always think that game development is of this magnitude, and the cost investment will not be too exaggerated.
Although it is not that no one has thought about the big investment and big return, but no one dares to be the first person to eat crabs, because the cost is a bit high, once the big investment cannot recover the cost, the entire company may be dragged immediately. collapse.
Moreover, there are not many companies that can make large investments to make games. They are still in the stage of exploration and exploration, and they are naturally more cautious in terms of capital investment.
The bigger the company, the less willing it is to take risks.
In the film and television industry, it is not uncommon for a film and television company to go bankrupt directly because of a large investment in a film.
What's more, the video game industry is still a nascent field.
"President, is this not enough? Then we can make the game bigger in the future?"
"Yes, this is just a tentative start. I am ready to invest in this game. It is worth at least 50 million US dollars, and there will be at least 50 million spare funds at any time."
This is a verification of his company's game industry system. After so many years of experience accumulation, Zhu Youxing believes that his company still has this strength and will definitely be able to develop It's just one chance to make a good enough game, and Final Fantasy 7 is one such chance.
The initial investment of 100 million US dollars really surprised everyone, which directly raised the upper limit of the previous game development cost to ten times, which sounded almost no different from gambling.
At this moment, Tsukune Aya came to the conference room at some point, and sat alone in the corner of the conference room listening to Zhu Yuxing painting a cake there.
When she heard Zhu Yuxing talk about development investment, she was also a little surprised, but soon she also showed a look of longing.
Such capital investment, the human and material resources that can be mobilized will also be unimaginable. If it is successful, this is definitely an opportunity to detonate the industry.
It's a pity that she doesn't have so much money, and she doesn't have so much manpower and material resources to drive her, otherwise she would really like to be the first person to eat crabs.
In the eyes of Zhu Yuxing, the investment of this billion-dollar Academy of Fine Arts is actually just a small scene.
Which of the later large-scale 3A games is not an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Big investment will have big returns, but at the same time, the risk is also extremely high.
However, with the mature game templates of the predecessors, the risks taken by Zhu Yuxing are naturally infinitely reduced.
Even if it really loses, 100 million US dollars is still affordable. Now the company has reserves of 700 million to 800 million US dollars, and it is no problem to burn three or four games of this scale. Dare to have a good time.
Uesugi Yuki obviously wanted to say something, but Zhu Yuxing raised his hand to interrupt the other party: "I know what you want to say, I will answer you directly, I can afford the money, and the company will not have any problems because of it. , you just give full play to your creativity, you only need to worry about your own lack of creativity now, you don't have to think about other issues."
After speaking, Zhu Yuxing looked at everyone seriously and sincerely.
"In the past, we were limited by the capacity of game cartridges and the performance limitations of game consoles, which prevented us from making better games. This has always been a regret of mine, so this time, I think it should be possible. Trying to expand, but also to prove our company's development strength, in the past, we have been leading the industry, this time the new era is coming, I also hope to do so."
Leading the industry again, this is a very grand statement.
But Zhu Yuxing did have the confidence to say such a thing.
Because he has been leading the industry in the past.
Uesugi Yuki said nothing, and the other two remained silent.
But there was excitement in their eyes.
It was the excitement of finally being able to go all out.
Since the president has said so, the only thing they can do is to make the content of the request the best.
On the one hand, this meeting is to issue general tasks to everyone, on the other hand, it is actually equivalent to a mobilization meeting.
Mobilize everyone to join the gamble.
If successful, they will also gain huge benefits, such as a substantial increase in game development experience, and an increase in fame.
The heads of the three major game development teams will inevitably become more famous, and their industry status will rise with the tide.
Especially Yuga, he just became the head of the development team not long ago, and this game development may make him a blockbuster.
The only pity is that this is not the game development that he led alone, otherwise the fame and status should be higher in the future.
