Chapter 190: This game is not very good (update 1)
"Tianmo" sells for about US$50 and will be released in the Europa region initially.
After the preliminary warm-up, Tianmo's first-day sales volume was 1.2 million units, and according to the share ratio, the share received by Tianfangcheng Studio alone can reach about 30 million US dollars.
Seeing this number, Fang Cheng felt indifferent. Finance Xu Qingling had no idea, but Huang Ping was shocked.
This share ratio is ridiculously high, but the language translation and localization issues have been solved here, so it is normal for the other party to raise it higher.
Moreover, the other party is also a friend of Teacher Shen, so he should have given internal discounts, but in any case, the treatment given by the other party is quite excellent.
After telling today's sales, the little old man Hoffman said half-jokingly: "The graphics of the game are very good. Many people bought them immediately after seeing the graphics, not knowing what will happen next. When I think of their expressions afterwards, , I really want to laugh. Also, you don’t need to read the reviews of the game, those things are meaningless.”
Although he didn’t know why Hoffman specifically mentioned the reviews, Fang Cheng still thanked him and started to observe “The Devil” The red dust fire.
The sales volume of 1.2 million is enough to gather a very intuitive flame.
Completely different from the previous flames, the flames of "Demon" were completely black.
It was black, symbolizing despair and fear. The pure black flame seemed to want to devour everything, dyeing everything around it pure black.
There is no light in the rich black, and no shadow of hope in the middle.
Occasionally, a relaxing green will appear, but soon this green will be swallowed up by black and disappear without a trace.
Looking at this thing, Fang Cheng lamented that it was a good thing that he did not sell this thing in China, otherwise he would have made many people cry.
Staring at the flames, he realized it was a bit much.
Although the color was pure and in line with his expectations, Fang Cheng looked at it for a while and really wondered if there would be any problems if he was not allowed to use this kind of flame to preach. After all, the concentration of this thing was too high.
Frowning, Fang Cheng began to debate whether to use it to prove the truth.
Just when Fang Cheng was struggling, some foreign anchors had already started unboxing live broadcasts.
They bought the physical version of "The Devil" and used a relaxed and humorous tone to exaggerate how long they had been filming the team and how they had conflicts with the store clerk. There may also be some short stories they compiled in order to make their purchase The behavior sounds even more exaggerated and bizarre, exaggerating the difficulty of getting the game.
After getting the game, they will say that it is a horror game from the East. However, Eastern games are often known for their implicit resentment. If they do not understand this point, they will not know what the game is about.
The East is a topic that easily triggers topics. Many people have specious imaginations about it. Many people can't even tell the difference between Huaxia, Sakura and Bangzi, and generally divide them into the same place.
But Eric is different. He is very knowledgeable about Eastern games, but not out of love, but because of his profession.
He is a 19-year-old spirited young man who often broadcasts live broadcasts of high-intensity competitive games such as "Quake". He attracts users through professional-level operations, and then takes some business orders and introduces stand-alone games.
After receiving the business order from the Cayman Company, the young man frowned and stuck out his tongue in an exaggerated manner.
The price of one of his business orders is about 30,000 euros, and the cost needs to be calculated by yourself.
The anchor's behavior of accepting business orders is essentially to assist manufacturers in cutting leeks. Some business orders are small sickles, and the leeks will grow back by themselves after cutting them.
But some business orders are combine harvesters. Not only will the original leeks be cut away, but even the roots of the leeks will be cut out. In the end, you will be the one crying.
According to his experience, Nintendo's business list is good, and sometimes it doesn't even hurt, and it even fertilizes leeks.
But the business orders in Kaputi are a bit troublesome. Some business orders are like fertilizer, but some business orders are like wildfires. You have to be mentally prepared before accepting them.
Anshai's trade list is similar to that of Kaputi, but it seems that there have been more combines recently.
But Fangcheng Studio...
frowned. Eric couldn't remember the origin of this game company. He could only shrug and put the game disk into his console.
During the installation process, he skillfully assumed a good camera position in the living room and then recorded the video.
"Hi, this is Eric, your game expert. Today we are playing a game that I personally like very much, "Tianma". Many people may guess which company's game this is. Let's not say it first. Play this game."
Although it hasn't been played yet, Eric has already skillfully introduced the game and used some specious words to exaggerate how fun the game is, thus making Party A feel that it is worth the money. a feeling of.
But fans who are familiar with him know that the more exaggerated his praise, the more it proves a problem.
He took the money.
Using two cameras to capture the game screen and his own expression, Eric waited until the game was installed and then started to enter the game.
The opening scene of the Demon has a very oriental artistic conception. The protagonist walks alone with a sword, surrounded by mist. The black shadow spreads out like ink stain on his back, making people feel that the Demon is contained in the body of the protagonist.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, Eric held the controller and stared at the screen for a while, then nodded and said: "The opening scene is great. A simple dynamic picture highlights the atmosphere of the game. Its type is A horror game, but I have only been scared by "The Omen" in horror games, and I was seven years old at the time. Okay, without further ado, let's get into the game."
Choosing to start the game, Eric found that the fog cleared, The hero wakes up in bed.
When Eric saw the picture in front of him, he stayed for a long time and stared at the picture for a long time.
In order to play games better, his TV uses a 100-inch ultra-high definition full screen. Most games look full of mosaics at this distance, but good games can also be seen more clearly.
I originally thought that the lack of mosaics in "Tianmo" meant it was a success, but now that he has seen the actual game screen, Eric feels that he has underestimated Fangcheng Studio.
I've known about Oriental rolls for a long time, but I've never known how to roll them to this extent.
Some black technology would pop up over there every now and then, but he didn't expect that he would actually see a qualitative change today.
"The mysterious East..."
On the screen, the 3D modeling is lifelike, the game's light tracking is as gorgeous as the real scene, and the micro-expressions of the surrounding NPCs seem to be discernible through the screen.
Although he knew that the graphics were not equivalent to the gameplay, just looking at the graphics, Eric felt that the fifty euros spent were not unfair.
After actually moving, he recalled the information about Fangcheng Studio again, but still found nothing.
It shouldn't be...
the movement of the characters feels very good. The picture, action details and control feel work together to give Eric a strong sense of immersion in the characters on the screen. This is not an effect that can be achieved through accumulation of skills, but should be achieved through the experience accumulated after being immersed in the action field for many years.
I shouldn’t have heard of a company with this kind of technology before.
But soon, Eric put his confusion behind him.
Because this game is really exciting.
Usually, when recording a program, he would say a lot of things to arouse the audience's interest and make them willing to see his advertisements, so that the audience would be happy to watch and the publishers would also feel comfortable.
But today, he actually didn't want to say a word.
Although it was an oriental-themed game, and he had no idea about the so-called cultivation of immortals before, he didn't understand the concepts of refining Qi, refining Qi to transform into gods, refining gods to return to the void, and refining the void to combine with the Tao, but it didn't hinder him. It feels fun.
The authentic translation allowed him to quickly accept the relevant settings, and the exotic oriental culture also filled him with freshness.
Especially, when he discovered that people could obtain extraordinary power without the help of gods, mutation, bloodline or technology, he became strongly curious about the so-called cultivation method, and began to explore the world of "Demon" Keep walking.
His character is not a hero as soon as he appears, and his experience is not a Hollywood-style hero's path. The protagonist knows what he wants to do from the beginning, and after making up his mind, he resolutely starts to act according to his heart.
After playing here, Eric stopped and said to the camera: "It's a wonderful protagonist. Many of our games are role-playing, trying to get us into the game. But "Demon" is different, it creates an almost The perfect protagonist and allows us to imagine ourselves as him. I don’t want to say who is better or worse, but I want to say that I appreciate this innovation.”
Then he continued the game.
Eric didn't play the game very quickly and spent most of his time trying to interact with things around him, and he was blown away by the possibilities.
The entire game has its own complete physics system. The interaction methods of some things may seem a bit bizarre, but they are self-contained.
Although it may feel a bit strange at first, such as why the pigeon is so big and the people around it don’t seem to care.
A mysterious energy, spiritual energy dominates the cycle of the entire world. Everything circulates in spiritual energy, which contains the Eastern idea of the unity of heaven and man.
However, the spiritual energy will be concentrated in certain places. The huge pigeon is a manifestation of the concentrated spiritual energy, but the other party is very smart and intelligent, so it is sucked into the village.
After understanding this, Eric became more and more curious about the game's settings.
The game tells him at the beginning that the world is sick. Although the spiritual energy is still there, the spiritual energy in some places has been polluted, and terrible monsters will be born at any time.
Although the master was about to leave, before leaving, they thoughtfully left behind magical artifacts to facilitate the protagonist's learning and improvement.
The childhood sweetheart next door also knows some how to operate spiritual energy. Whenever he goes out to subdue demons and is injured, the childhood sweetheart will come over to help heal the injury, and the whole process is free of charge.
The villagers in the village were amiable. When he knew that he needed some weapons for self-defense, the blacksmith at the entrance of the village immediately helped him make a long sword, which made Eric feel embarrassed.
There is also a money setting in the game, but in this group, there are very few places to spend money. Everyone seems to sincerely regard the protagonist as a member of the village and provide support to the best of their ability.
At this point, Eric stopped again.
"Collectivism... Although many people don't like collectivism, but after some things happened some time ago, we must admit that collectivism is the best system to resist natural disasters. We have always felt that we are too arrogant now, so that we I can't see many correct things... Sorry, I digressed again and continued the game." It
didn't take long for Eric to figure out how to play the game. He was already familiar with the various settings. Although the playing speed was not fast, But he felt like he hadn't played a game so happily for a long time.
The game was not scary, but rather very leisurely. He felt that the only scary thing was the polluted monsters in the wild. Some of those monsters looked like they had eyes, and some were simply made of arms. It looked like it would easily drive people crazy.
But compared to them, Eric feels that the protagonist is more like a monster.
He has extraordinary strength. He can go to the sky and escape from the earth. The monsters in front of him are vulnerable to him. There is nothing scary except that they are ugly.
In addition, he can go fishing and blacksmith, and there are various interesting mini-games throughout, which makes him feel that this game should not be called Tianmo, but "Cultivation Simulator".
Just when he was about to make a suit of clothes for his childhood sweetheart, he heard the alarm clock ring.
"Two hours? This game really... takes too much time."
Reluctantly putting down the controller, Eric picked up his camera and began to check the live broadcast material.
This time, the material he recorded wasn't quite up to par.
He usually keeps talking about relevant content so that some viewers can hear the content in the video even if they don't watch the video, so that they can listen to his program while driving.
But today, he was completely immersed in "Tian Mo" and barely said a few words in the middle, which made his game video look a bit dull.
He had no choice but to edit and dub. Several times he wanted to stop and go back to play for a while, but he finally endured it.
After being busy until midnight, he uploaded the recorded program and said that he would make this game into a series until it was completed.
Not long after the video was released, he saw private messages from his loyal fans.
[Eric, are you also playing "Devil"? ]
[Yes, I think this game is very good and very comfortable to play. Although I accepted the commercial order, I feel that this game is worth playing, and it will not be a problem to be in the top ten of the year. ]
[Um, have you watched other people's playing videos or strategies? ]
[No, you know, I won't read other people's games and strategies after receiving a business order. This is my habit. ]
[I respect your habits, so I won’t say much, but if you play the game "Tianmo", stop playing it when you reach a certain level. Especially when you find something is wrong, stop immediately! 】
【……Why? ]
[Don't ask, just play for another hour at your pace. Don't stop playing, okay, I have to stop, I don't have time, I have to play the game, I have to find a possibility. goodbye. 】
Seeing the fans who pressed down, Eric felt a chill rising from his tailbone, giving him a sense of fear as if the game had become reality.
