Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 285 189 is more than just a game

Chapter 285 189. More than just a game

However, for Ken Kutaragi, he has been waiting for this day for a long time.

It has been more than half a year since Sony's PS was released in December last year. It can be said that I am so anxious that I even dream about the release of pokeni's new game.

Now that he has finally come out, Kutaragi Ken should be relieved.

However, Kutaragi Kenshin still felt a little bit uneasy in his heart.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s mainly because I’m afraid that the hype will be blown out and it won’t be fulfilled when the time comes. It’s really hard to say what the actual experience of pokeni’s 3D Pokémon will be.

If it goes wrong, then players will probably still feel that Sony has spent a lot of effort to develop a very useless game console, especially the design of the controller, which is still complained by players to this day.

For this reason, Kutaragi Ken still called Qing Zhiyuan.

On the one hand, I congratulate the game on its upcoming release and wish it a big hit. On the other hand, I also want to explore Qing Zhiyuan’s tone, hoping to find a little bit of confidence and comfort from him.

Qing Zhiyuan really did not disappoint Kutaragi Ken at all. During the phone call, the young president could be said to be high-spirited and full of confidence in his own game.

"Mr. Kutaragi, you can rest assured. Haven't you watched the PV?

If you watch the PV of POKENI's new game, you will understand how powerful our new game is.

It is definitely a landmark new product that opens up a new era of 3D games. "

Qing Zhiyuan vowed over the phone, "As soon as the game is released, the whole world will know how powerful the new game console developed by Sony and the new dual-joystick controller are.

These will be recorded in the history of games and become a hot topic in the gaming circle in the future.

Mr. Kutaragi, you don’t need to worry at all, just wait for our good news! "

Although Qing Zhiyuan's words always give people the feeling of being flashy and bragging, Kutaragi needs this kind of [comfort]

After all, he has been questioned too much in the past six months or so.

Fortunately, Sony's PS sales performance is not bad, otherwise Ken Kutaragi would have been sent to who knows where by the company.

"Okay, then I will wait for the good news from President Ao." Ken Kutaragi smiled very happily on the other end of the phone, "I hope "Pokémon 3D" will be a big hit in the world!"

…

"Hmm, I'd like to lend you some kind words."

Qing Zhiyuan hung up the phone and turned around, just in time to see the contemptuous look of the little HR.

"What for? Are you dissatisfied with anything?" Qing Zhiyuan asked angrily, frowning.

"Don't dare."

Akane Ayase waved her hands repeatedly and quickly brought the brewed coffee to Qing Zhiyuan's table.

"How dare I question your authority, President?"

Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely, you haven't questioned it yet, what's in your heart is written all on your face, okay?

"but……"

Akane Ayase took two steps back and clasped her hands in front of her chest, "President, you are talking too much. If the results are not as good as expected, Mr. Kutaragi will think that we are Are you just talking big words?"

"..."

Qing Zhiyuan wanted to slap this little HR to death.

"You don't understand, this is called confidence."

"People outside the industry are not optimistic about us, which only shows that they have no vision."

Qing Zhiyuan said, "After the game is released, they will know what a landmark game is."

Uh-huh.

Akane Ayase nodded seriously.

Hope so.

Although there are some doubts in her heart, Ayase Akane's hope that the game will sell well is true.

…

In short, after the game PV was released, with all kinds of media and advertisements coming in, pokeni's warm-up was quite good.

Basically, everyone in the gaming circle knows about Pokémon 3D World from P.

On the one hand, it is because of P’s good promotion and the reputation and credibility that P has accumulated over the years, which has given this game a higher level of attention.

On the other hand, it's because pokeni has always advertised that this 3D Pokémon will become a milestone in 3D gaming history and has the significance of creating a new era.

Your stunt is so big, no matter what, you need to pay some attention and give it some face.

As for the rest, countless game manufacturers and competitors are waiting to see pokeni's joke.

There are also some game developers who sincerely hope that pokeni games will sell well. One of them is Sony, because everyone is a partner. If your game sells well, my game console will also sell well.

The other one is the [students] who have no direct competition with pokeni. As long as pokeni can clear this path, then they can cross the river by touching pokeni.

In short, many game developers are now coveting the big cake of 3D. The problem is that 3D is like a pearl in a shell. For a while, I don’t know where to start.

By giving pokeni a try, it can be regarded as providing convenience for latecomers.

If we can’t be the first to eat crabs, can’t we be the second or Nth one?

…

In addition to game developers, players have also expressed great concern about this.

Why just pay attention instead of buying interest?

Mainly because the previous 3D games produced by other game manufacturers were too shoddy, which aroused players' instinctive suspicion.

When it comes to pokeni, no matter how good the advertising is or how good the PV is, it will only increase the players' confidence from 0 to 50%.

The remaining half can only be seen after it is put on the shelves.

Once the actual experience of the game fails to match players' expectations, the reputation of this 3D Pokémon will plummet, and it's not certain that pokeni will have to pay for the glory they have boasted about.

In short, with the support of various factors, the popularity of "Pokémon 3D World" is rising steadily. In just one month, it has become the most talked-about game at the moment.

Everyone is waiting for the release of "Pokémon 3D World".

I may not necessarily buy it, but I will definitely check out what this game is like.

…

July 14, 1995.

"Pokémon 3D World" is released on time.

Keisuke Mido is a branch manager of the Golden Finger Game Store under Dongrun Group.

On the day of release, he was more nervous than the players outside.

This time, the share of the "Pokémon 3D World" game that President Hattori pre-ordered was actually not that large, and this branch only received 500 copies that day.

You know, this is pokeni's game.

In the past, when pokeni's new works were released, sales were always overwhelming.

President Hattori usually took 100,000 pre-orders in the past, but this time it was suddenly 90% less. What if there are too many players?

In fact, Mido Keisuke found that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Because when I went to open the door at 9 o'clock in the morning, there were not many people queuing outside.

This scene really made Keisuke Mido doubt his life, and even more doubt the appeal of pokeni.

"Huh? The advertisements for 3D Pokémon are obviously overwhelming, but in the end not many people come to buy them, right?"

"Wait a little longer, maybe everyone hasn't decided whether to buy it yet." The clerk who was sorting the shelves in the store responded.

"After all, this game is quite controversial. It's not that Pokemon or Pokémon are not good, it's mainly that 3D is not good."

oh oh.

Keisuke Mido nodded.

He suddenly understood President Hattori a little bit.

The president is really wise.

We knew from the beginning that this game would not be a big hit, so we ordered less, right?

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked outside the store.

The sun was just right at this time, and pedestrians were coming and going on the street outside. Except for some young people who were hesitating at the door of the store, there didn't seem to be any decent players.

July 14th is a Friday.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a primary school student wearing a student hat walked in.

Keisuke Mido glanced at the little boy.

Not sure if he's here to buy games.

Mainly because the price of games is generally relatively expensive, about a few thousand yen.

In his opinion, primary school students prefer to use their pocket money to buy comics and stuff.

However, based on his professionalism, Mido Keisuke did not neglect the other party because he was a child with low purchasing power. On the contrary, because the other party was an elementary school student, Mido Keisuke's service was more enthusiastic.

"Kid, are you here to buy games?"

Keisuke Mido came out from behind the counter and greeted the boy with a smile.

The latter nodded nervously, looking back and forth in the store with his eyes.

"Um."

The child replied.

This elementary school student’s name is Uesugi Noboru, and he is a loyal Pokémon player.

It's not summer vacation yet, so Noboru Uesugi waited until after school before hurriedly grabbing his pocket money.

This time, it may be because President Hattori is not very optimistic about P's 3D Pokémon, so although this game is newly released, it is not placed in the most conspicuous position in the store, but is slightly closer to the inside.

But there is one thing that President Hattori gave orders——

For the convenience of small customers, the Pokémon game can be placed slightly lower.

So Noboru Uesugi quickly discovered the game "Pokémon 3D World".

His eyes sparkled, he walked straight over, picked up one of them, and walked to the cashier counter with almost no hesitation.

Keisuke Mido was slightly startled.

He is actually a decisive child.

Although he had a hunch from the beginning whether this kid was here for Pokémon, when he actually saw his actions, Mido Keisuke was still a little surprised.

Mainly because he took it too decisively.

"Hello, the total is 4,800 yen."

It seems that pokeni has already taken into account the purchasing power of the sales crowd, and has specially lowered the price of "epoch-making" game products like Pokémon 3D World.

Before this, P's games were notoriously expensive, almost all costing around 9,800 yen.

This time, the price of 3D Pokémon has been directly reduced to 4800.

Almost half the price.

If nothing else, this strategy and Sony still complement each other.

Qing Zhiyuan’s route is also very clear. The IP of Pokémon takes a global route. What stands out is that it is popular among the people. It must be universal and the price should be affordable to most people.

But the next game may not be so cheap.

"OK, all right."

After Uesugi finished speaking, he took out a large handful of coins from his pocket and put them on the table.

Keisuke Mido was slightly startled.

You can understand at a glance that what is placed on the table is the pocket money that the child has saved for who knows how long.

One can imagine how determined he was to be able to come up with this money.

In fact, it was the same. His mother refused to buy Noboru Uesugi a game, so he smashed his piggy bank and spent 4,800 yen at once, which made him feel extremely distressed.

Mido Keisuke did some inventory and quickly settled the bill for him.

After packaging the game in a beautiful packaging bag and handing it to Noboru Uesugi, Keisuke Mido felt the value of his profession for the first time.

This is not selling goods, this is solemnly entrusting a heavy heart and expectations to the players' hands.

"This is your game disc, please take it and have a good journey. I wish you a good time."

"Thanks."

Noboru Uesugi responded politely, stretched out his hands, and took the game.

…

Looking at the back of the child leaving, Mido Keisuke sighed silently.

pokeni!

You must never let down the children's love for you.

You must not mess up your Pokémon.

…
