Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 221 125. Furuhara Chunqiu caused great harm to Miyazaki Hayao this time! (Added 5 updates for the first ten days of the alliance leader Jiu Yue)

"Hey~ This time the PV of pokeni's new game feels very average."

After watching the PV, the president of the Elf Club, Hiruda Masato, always felt a little incredible.

It’s not that this PV isn’t beautifully produced.

After all, it is Hayao Miyazaki who serves as the painting supervisor, so the quality of the art is definitely guaranteed, and the style of Hayao Miyazaki can be seen at a glance.

And it’s still the academic style drawn by Hayao Miyazaki.

This is quite difficult.

Hayao Miyazaki, an old guy, has always been fond of making clothes from the era before World War II. The sailor uniforms and school uniforms at that time were quite different from today, and they had a strong flavor of the times.

But it is obvious that the game CL tells the story of the neon campus in the current 90s.

That's why Miyazaki uses delicate brushstrokes to depict contemporary students.

In fact, it is rare.

This shows that Hayao Miyazaki has also made a lot of efforts and efforts for this.

But that's exactly where the problem lies.

The vast majority of galgames on the market, not to mention 100%, more than 90% are based on modern campus backgrounds.

The reason is very simple, there are probably two reasons:

Campus, junior high school and high school are basically life stages that everyone in Neon has experienced. Using this part of the content as the background board of galgame has a strong sense of substitution.

If you design the protagonist to be a pilot or a physical scientist, the players will actually lack resonance.

Then I chose campus because high school is the most important and best time in life.

There is both youth and unforgettable pure first love here.

Once this period has passed, no matter how young or old a man or woman is, they will no longer be so pure. They will always be contaminated with some impurities and become filthy.

It cannot be said that it is dirty, it can only be said that it will be rebaptized by society and become another kind of creature.

Therefore, the high school campus is the most common stage that people must go through in life, and it is also the most beautiful stage. This is why most galgames like to use this as the background.

It is precisely because of too many homogeneous games that the difference of pokeni is highlighted.

Whether it's "Mermaid Heart" or "Reverse Degree Man" or later "The Man in the Bed", they are actually somewhat different from these traditional routines and are different from other works.

Didn’t you expect that pokeni would start to take this path now?

I don’t know whether Furuhara Tsubaki Qiujiang has exhausted his talents, or they made this decision after considering and researching and feeling that the market is like this.

In short, after watching the PV, Hirudian Masato felt a little disappointed.

This is not the Furuhara Chunqiu in my mind.

The combination of Tsubaki Furuhara + Hayao Miyazaki shouldn't be at this level.

"It's too common. Really, there are not only hundreds of galgames that do this setting, but dozens of them." Hiruda Masato said sadly.

He had high expectations for Gu Yuan Chunqiu, but he did not expect such a result.

"Yes," Masaki Takei, the script writer of Elf Club, echoed, "If it weren't for Hayao Miyazaki's reputation, galgame promotion at this level would definitely not be able to win the favor of players."

Ah~ I don’t know why, but when he saw that even gods would one day fall from the altar, as a fellow galgame game author who is also under the greatest pressure, Takei Masaki felt regretful and mixed emotions in his heart.

but……

It seems a little too early to be happy now.

Although my first reaction after watching the PV was not very good, I just thought it was too ordinary.

Even a master like Hayao Miyazaki may have difficulty controlling it.

But judging from past experience and feelings, he doesn't quite believe that a combination like Tsubaki Furuhara + Hayao Miyazaki can fail the game.

Unless there is really a major problem with the script, or the entire worldview setting is waterloo, it shouldn't be.

According to Takei Masaki's own ideas, whether it is the old thief Furuhara or Master Miyazaki, any one of them can have great appeal, and there will definitely be an endless stream of players.

If something goes wrong and the results are unsatisfactory, it must be Gu Yuan Chunqiu's responsibility.

If this day really comes, it can only be said that Furuhara Chunqiu has been away from the game industry for too long, which has led to his decline in performance after returning.

…

In short, this [not very good] perception is not limited to a few big guys from the Elf Club. Even the players are not optimistic about the prospects of CL after watching the PV.

"It's over, it's over. Master Miyazaki won't destroy his own sign this time, right?"

"I feel like it's not just Master Miyazaki, right? The old thief Furuhara is also destroying his own brand."

"This game style that forcibly creates a tear-jerking feeling is indeed that of the old thief Furuhara, but this setting is still far from my impression of Furuhara Chunqiu, who has unconstrained ideas."

"Could this be a fake Gu Yuan Chunqiu?"

"It's hard to say. In fact, no one has ever seen Gu Yuan Chunqiu. Who knows who he actually is. Whether he is a boy or a girl and how he looks is a mystery. Maybe the real Gu Yuan Chunqiu has long been hidden. I quit, but now the evil president of Pokeni is forcing me to use my name to consume players."

"Ah~ Damn it, if this is really the case, I will never let this bitch Qing Zhiyuan go."

"But, have you ever thought about it carefully, if Chunqiu Furuhara is fake, then why would Hayao Miyazaki cooperate with them?"

"Yes, I watched an interview before, and Hayao Miyazaki himself said that he is very much looking forward to working with Tsubaki Furuhara. This is also his first time making a game."

"emmmm...then there is only one truth——

Gu Yuan Chunqiu seems to be the real Gu Yuan, but his performance this time is definitely lacking.

As a result, Hayao Miyazaki was also dragged into the water. "

"What? Miyazaki Hayao + Furuhara Chunqiu, just made such a thing?"

"I have an ominous feeling about what the game will be like."

"Ah~ stop talking. If you keep talking, I won't want to buy the game anymore."

"Anyway, let's wait and see. This combination is actually quite strong, and there will definitely be many people playing this game based on the names of Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki.

Okay or not, there will definitely be an answer by then. "

…

Audiences in the animation circle are relatively more tolerant. After all, they have played the game less and have not realized the adverse effects of such a setting.

However, some people who have studied games and are fans of Hayao Miyazaki are very resentful.

I couldn’t sit still when I saw the PV of this game.

Many people even want to go to pokeni game company to denounce Qing Zhiyuan.

"It's so abominable! Why would Hayao Miyazaki take such a bad job? I'm really looking forward to what achievements Hayao Miyazaki can make in the game.

After watching the PV, I was really disappointed.

A simple and ordinary campus story. I don’t know how many times there have been such settings.

It’s really a mess, okay?

What does Hayao Miyazaki think? Is this just a joke on your reputation for the rest of your life? "

"Yes, it should be a happy event for everyone when a national treasure-level animation master joins a game company that has always been famous for its reputation.

I read various previous reports and interviews, and Hayao Miyazaki strongly praised this game.

I didn’t expect the PV to be so common when released.

So disappointing. "

“Overall, it’s not that the picture is disappointing, but the level of master Hayao Miyazaki is still here, and you can see it from the simple PV.

The varied and soft colors, rich layering, and each character, although they didn't say a word, make people feel that the action is very tense and has a soul.

This is very Miyazaki style.

But the only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is that this is obviously a simple campus love story.

Moreover, there are so many female characters, and at first glance they look like a harem of beautiful girls.

Is this game really worth it?

Is it worth buying for players?

Is it worth what Master Hayao Miyazaki paid for it?

I am deeply skeptical. "

If we only look at the PV or players’ reactions, Famitsu’s editors might make the same judgment——

What are these?

There is a large amount of blank space in the PV, and there are only characters and the basic encounter process. It is difficult to tell what the better selling points are.

The biggest selling point has become [Hayao Miyazaki]

Is this kind of game really made by pokeni?

Is it really produced by Chunqiu Furuhara as the producer?

Fortunately, not long after the PV was released, Qing Zhiyuan sent the game CD to Famitsu.

Mainly to fulfill the promise made to Hamamura Koichi during the last meal, and also to thank Famitsu for giving "Upside Down Patma" a perfect score.

After experiencing this game.

Several editors finally felt confident.

"Ah~ PV shouldn't do this. The experience content of this game is much more exciting than PV." Miki Watanabe, the only female editor of Famitsu, sighed.

Seriously, this game far exceeded her expectations.

"Yes, I haven't come back to it yet." Katsumi Kato said sadly.

"The game is definitely a good game. The graphics are also super strong. The soundtrack and CV of the game are also very good. I think it is perfect. If I can make an evaluation after experiencing it, this game will definitely be a well-deserved masterpiece.

The only regret is that galgame seems to have missed the Platinum Hall again. "

"To be honest, this is probably the most touching game I have ever played, except for the quilt man and the reverse person.

Everything is fine, except that saliva will flow out of the eyes involuntarily. "

Ha ha ha ha……

Several others were amused.

But after laughing, it was hard to hide the loneliness in his eyes.

Watanabe Miki sighed, "Well, the impact of the follow-up was really too strong. I was so moved when the game just ended. I felt empty in my heart and felt like my whole soul had been drained out.

But I was still too naive. When I went home and went to bed, I realized that the stamina was really terrifying.

When I dream, I can dream that I am crying.

Can you guys understand this feeling? "

"Yeah." Several editors nodded, indicating that they understood her feelings very well.

Watching the editors discussing each other, the editor-in-chief Nagahamura Hiroichi next to him seemed much calmer and more rational.

He folded his hands and silently thought about a question——

Since the game itself has no problems, and the branch and main plots are very moving, it can fully support the names of Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki.

Why is the PV made so simple? It just conveys a sense of atmosphere.

Even the backstory feels boring and cliche?

There is no reason.

According to Hamura Hiro's understanding of Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki, these two people are not the kind of guys who are willing to be mediocre.

These two geniuses have always been famous for their strong imagination in their respective fields.

There is no reason why CL's setting should be so ordinary. It is so ordinary that apart from the painting style and excellent soundtrack, it is almost impossible to see from the PV how big the difference is between it and those crappy galgames.

"Is there a possibility?"

At this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his brain.

Hamamura Koichi summarized recent events and various pieces of information, and a terrible idea came to his mind:

"Is this actually a marketing ploy by pokeni?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the entire editing room immediately fell silent.

The environment that had been chattering just now was suddenly silent, which was particularly strange.

"Eh?"

After a few seconds, everyone turned to look at him at the same time.

"Otherwise there is no reason." Hamamura Koichi snapped his fingers, "Think about it, the game is actually very good, but the PV is so ordinary.

Maybe this is a topic intentionally created by pokeni.

If you think about it carefully, it is really possible. The contrast with the powerful alliance between the masters and the masters. Many players must have doubted this, so the popularity will soon rise.

and--

To a certain extent, because the PV was too ordinary, it lowered players' expectations.

Because Furuhara Chunqiu was so famous before, and with Hayao Miyazaki's support, players must have very, very high expectations.

It is actually beneficial to lower expectations at this time.

When players actually experience the game, the feeling of regaining something lost and exceeding expectations again will definitely explode! "

"Wow~" Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that Hamura Koichi's explanation was too convincing.

Yes, excellent operations require knowing how to manage players' expectations, being able to mobilize expectations, and at the same time lowering expectations at certain times.

This is actually a very profound knowledge.

Hayao Miyazaki and Tsubaki Furuhara are so popular that players’ expectations are so high. If they don’t pour a bucket of water on them, the game will not be able to meet this expectation but will backfire. Effect.

This is actually a very simple reason. Just like the Brazilian team, this year's national team lineup is the world's top, with aliens Ronaldo, Ricardo, Cafu, Santos, Sergio...

If such a national team fails to win the world championship, I don’t know how it will be criticized.

"President Qing's move is really brilliant!"

"Maybe this is really the case! Properly lowering expectations will actually make the actual game experience better."

"Yes, the president of pokeni is a fox who has become a spirit. He is very good at marketing methods."

"Thinking about it this way, Qing Zhiyuan's scheming is simply terrifying!"
