Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 359 263. The man behind the great god

Influenced by the movie, the game "Princess Mononoke" became a big hit when it came out.

As long as you don't stretch your hips, don't do anything stupid, and have your own characteristics and fun, then you will definitely get a wave of dividends.

What's more, pokeni's game quality is indeed super high.

Naturally, the performance has also improved rapidly.

In the first week, "Princess Mononoke" reached an astonishing sales of 400,000 copies, and the growth momentum has not slowed down at all.

In the second week, it hit 500,000.

follow closely……

In the first month, sales of "Princess Mononoke" reached an extremely terrifying 2.1 million copies.

This sales volume once again made the world realize what P Club's games are.

If nothing unexpected happens, "Princess Mononoke" will even break through 5 million by the end of this year, and it is possible to even reach 7 million.

…

The 500,000 copies Dongrun pre-ordered from pokeni were cleared out very quickly.

The manager of the sales department is already evaluating the potential market size and is preparing to purchase goods from P Company again.

In the president's office.

"That's amazing," Secretary Fujiki said in admiration. "President, you are amazing. It takes a lot of courage to get 500,000 copies in advance. But the facts have proven that your decision was correct once again."

When everyone in the company heard that Hattori Hiroyuki promised Qing Zhiyuan to directly pre-order 500,000 copies of "Princess Mononoke", they generally thought he was crazy.

Although the company is rich and P has made many hit games, it can't play like this.

500,000 copies is not a small amount. If there is any discrepancy, it may lead to losses.

To order 500,000 copies of the game, it means that "Princess Mononoke" must sell at least 2 million copies. After all, pokeni cannot only have Dongrun as a cooperative distributor.

Evenly divided, Dongrun can only absorb part of the Princess Mononoke players.

but!

Two million copies, what a terrible number!

Whether the world can produce a game that sells 2 million copies in a year is still a question.

Not every Rentian game can sell for this number.

However, it turns out that Hattori Hiroyuki was right and his decision was bold and correct.

Once again verified the greatness of Hattori Hiroyuki.

Secretary Fujiki admires the president from the bottom of his heart.

Even in her opinion, without the vicious vision of the president, pokeni would not be what it is today.

When P Club was still a little chicken, President Hattori saw that it would grow into a big phoenix in the future, so even when P Club was at its worst, President Hattori spared no effort to help them. Trust them and order games from pokeni.

And now——

Facts have proved that President Hattori was right.

President Hattori’s vision is really vicious and admirable.

So far, Secretary Fujiki has never seen another big shot with such a keen eye for talents.

Hattori Hiroyuki smiled and said nothing. Secretary Fujiki's compliment made people happy and very useful.

Because of this, he has not changed secretaries for so many years.

"Fujiki-san, what you said is really nice."

"President, what I say comes from the truth." Secretary Fujiki responded seriously.

"I know." Hattori Hiroyuki nodded.

"Of course I know you're telling the truth, and that's what I like about you."

Other people's flattery is really fake at first glance, but Fujiki is the kind of person who is very loyal and dares to tell the truth. If you make mistakes, she will definitely correct you. If you do well, she will not hesitate to praise you.

It is Fujiki's practicality that makes Hattori Hiroyuki very useful.

Because other people's praise may be false, but Fujiki's praise must be from the bottom of her heart. If nothing else, at least that's what she thinks in her heart.

Fujiki's judgment has almost never made mistakes, which is also affirmed by Hiroyuki Hattori.

"It's amazing." Secretary Fujiki praised, "President, you are really amazing."

Hattori Hiroyuki smiled slightly.

It doesn’t matter whether I am a god or not.

The key is that trash cans are awesome.

To be honest, he really wanted to try and see what would happen if he didn't throw P Club's games into the trash can.

…

After the game became a hit, pokeni’s official forum was flooded with players.

The "Princess Mononoke" section is filled with all kinds of comments.

But generally they can be divided into two different types of players:

One is those who have watched the "Princess Mononoke" movie before playing the game.

One is to play the game directly without watching the movie.

Generally speaking, players who have played the game without watching the movie have a higher evaluation of the game, directly promoting the game to the level of the altar:

“Ah, for a player like me who has never watched the movie, it is really a blessing to be able to play such a wonderful game.

"Princess Mononoke" is really amazing. The first time I entered the game, I deeply felt Hayao Miyazaki's style.

But this is still 3D, and it feels like living in Hayao Miyazaki's fairy tale world. "

“And the game plot is very shocking, the game has hinted at everything from the very beginning:

Profit-seeking businessmen incited warriors from other places to kill wild beasts in the forest and plunder resources.

Then, the wild boar god turned into a demon and ran to this place and gave them a severe lesson.

This is actually the epitome of the entire game. When I played here, I was filled with endless disgust for these plundering warriors and merchants.

This proved to be the case.

In the subsequent game process, people launch wars in order to compete for interests, and the party with weapons plunders civilian resources...

Destroy nature for your own benefit...

It's all filled with disgust.

Until later, when I saw Princess Mononoke for the first time, I was deeply attracted to her.

A wild girl from nature. "

"I also like Shan very much. She is so beautiful, strong and kind. Especially when she was about to kill Ashitaka, but was frightened by the other party's "You are so beautiful" and took several steps back. But It’s so cute.”

"When you played this game, did you have such an experience? Compared with pokeni's previous games, "Princess Mononoke" is too difficult, right?

The requirements on the player's reaction ability, hand speed and rhythm are simply terrible.

I died several times just at the Boar God. "

"Yes, yes! Me too, I died at the Wild Boar God, and the one who died the most later was in the hands of Shan. I never thought that such a little guy, how could a girl be so agile, and have such a deadly knife that she could run away even if she wanted to? Don’t fall off.”

"Isn't it difficult to fight Abosi in the back? You and I can't fight her with a knife in close combat, but stand back a little further. Good guy, this person is going to use the musket directly.

The bullets are fired without missing a beat, and the person will not be spared.

I died at least a dozen times at Abbersey's. "

""Princess Mononoke" is really amazing. The BOSS battles in the 3D perspective are particularly impactful, especially when you face a BOSS that is much taller than you. That feeling of being small, helpless and pitiful is really... Come as soon as you say.

The first time I saw the Boar God, I was shocked:

Nani! ?

What kind of behemoth is this? Do I actually have to fight against such a monster?

Is it really possible?

Did pokeni make something wrong? "

"Everyone will go through this stage, but if you die more, it will be better."

"Hahahaha...it's so insightful upstairs. It would be better if there were more god-like deaths."

"When you play games, everything else is imaginary. Only by experiencing it yourself and sharpening it with real swords and guns can you grow from the little prince Ashitaka at the beginning to the god of war Ashitaka."

"The 3D action RPG has been understood by P Club. They must have done research and know where our fear points are and how the monsters should act to create a strong sense of oppression. Even if Abbersey is not too big, but After fighting with her, you will have a deep fear of this female leader."

"The charm of 3D games has been brought to the extreme by pokeni. The large bosses are super shocking. The wild boar god, the giant warrior, the second boss... there is a terrifying pressure when they appear, as if they will be crushed by the opponent the next moment. Like broken pieces.

This is not playing a game, this is playing with one's life! "

"The giant BOSS in its final form is also very shocking. When I hit the final form of the Mountain Beast God, I was almost scared to death.

That kind of feeling that blocks out the sky and covers the entire screen, and you can't even see its body at all, only its feet, is full of infinite fear.

It was as if the whole world was enveloped by the rampaging mountain beast god.

It's really terrible.

This game is not for the faint of heart. "

"You are still too naive.

In "Princess Mononoke", is the [Mountain Beast God] the most difficult to defeat?

wrong!

It’s actually an elf!

The only true god in the world of Princess Mononoke - the mountain beast god, wrong!

The true one true God:

Elf!

If you try it once, you will know how scary the elf is.

As long as one of them is angered, a large group of elves will immediately be attracted.

They will not stop fighting, they will attack in groups and chase you to the ends of the earth.

There is no escape except by death.

This is simply a more terrifying existence than all kinds of BOSS! "

"Hahahaha, I really can't stand it when I see the elf here.

I'm like this too.

I was walking fine, but when I saw an elf jumping out of the woods, I thought to myself, what kind of monster is this? Will it drop good things?

After trying it, I realized I was wrong.

Very wrong, very wrong.

They attacked him in groups and beat him to death.

Don't believe in evil, no matter how many times you come here, your final end will be death.

I shouldn't have messed with the elf. "

"Hahahaha, in fact, the elf is the only true god in this world who controls life and death.

The ultimate BOSS, who is as powerful as the Mountain Beast God, will one day be defeated.

You can even get through it without taking any damage.

However, facing the elves, you have no chance of winning.

These are all lessons of blood and tears! "

…

Players who have watched the movie "Princess Mononoke" are full of praise for the game, but just like Famiton's comments, there is still a little bit of dissatisfaction in their hearts.

In the pokeni forum, someone posted a complaint:

"For players who have already watched the movie, the plot of this game actually doesn't have much appeal. Because it hasn't changed much at all.

It still follows the main line of Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, and many key nodes have not changed.

The only thing worthy of praise is that the gameplay is pretty good, the characters in Princess Mononoke are well made, and the combat is also amazing.

It's really fun to wander through the world of Princess Mononoke, interact with different characters, upgrade and fight monsters, especially the BOSS battles.

However, as far as the plot is concerned, there are really no surprises. "

“I feel the same way. If you play a game after watching a movie, the experience will definitely be lacking, lacking the freshness and fun of exploration.

However, the combat is really interesting, and the plot is well integrated.

For example, after the male protagonist injured his arm, he gained the power of a curse, but at the cost of burning his own life. This is actually very consistent with the world view of Princess Mononoke.

When I play this game, knowing the plot, I enjoy the combat more. "

"The game also adds a lot of new content. For example, after playing the game, I found out that Kaya is Ashitaka's fiancée, and the jade sword given to him is his beloved thing."

"Huh? So Kaya is Ashitaka's fiancée? I thought she was her biological sister."

…

After the game was released, the popularity of the game once again drove the number of movie viewers.

After experiencing the game and watching the movie, players and audiences had a further in-depth discussion of Hayao Miyazaki's ideas and the thoughts he wanted to express in "Princess of the Jungle":

"Thinking about people and nature, this is Hayao Miyazaki's main theme that will not change, and I am glad that pokeni did not change this when making the game.

Of course, it may also be because of the limitations of Ghibli. With Miyazaki's temper, he may not be willing to let pokeni ruin his works.

"Princess Mononoke" is actually a very deep work.

Both games and movies illustrate this perfectly.

In it, we can see Abbersey struggling for the people in the town, constantly expanding and developing at the expense of destroying the forest, just to let these poor people from the bottom live a better life.

Abbersey is actually a very controversial and charming figure.

In the movie, there is actually not that much description of Abbersey, and a lot of the information is pieced together.

But these have been greatly supplemented and enhanced in the game.

When we talk to people in the town and collect clues, we can find that Abbersey is actually a miserable person.

But she refused to accept her fate and was determined and strong in her heart.

Also very kind.

This kindness is for human beings, for those at the bottom who are exploited, homeless, disabled, and weak.

Abbersey sympathized with them and allowed them to rely on their own hands to regain the courage to live.

At this point, Abosi is undoubtedly righteous and powerful. To the [bullied] people she saves, she is like a god.

She will always be the spiritual leader of this group of people.

I like Abbersey very much. She is complex, powerful, and has a strong personality.

But, on the other hand, when it comes to fighting against nature, Abbersey is extremely cruel and rough. For the sake of the people in the town, he can set fire to the mountain, kill the beasts in the forest, and listen to the dog for a huge bounty. The monk told him to hunt for the head of the mountain beast god.

In this respect, Abbersey is undoubtedly a villain.

However, human nature is complicated here. When you see what happens to those who are bullied, you can't hate Abbersey at all.

I think these are also the two dilemmas Hayao Miyazaki wants to express in "Princess Mononoke":

Abbersey, who destroyed nature for the sake of human survival and development, still said the words "start over" in the end.

I don’t know how other people understand it. In my opinion, she just hasn’t given up on the old path. She will probably continue to dig mountains and cut trees, because without these supplies, they will not be able to resist the foreign predators. ability.

For Princess Mononoke, who represents the forest and nature, she hates humans, so she returns to the forest and continues to guard it.

The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable.

It was like this at the beginning, but in the end it was still back to the starting point.

I guess Hayao Miyazaki himself doesn't know the best of both worlds answer. "

"Are humans and nature really unadjustable? I don't think so. In the animal world, there is also survival of the fittest, and the weak eat the strong. The key is that nature has natural laws, which will form a complex food network. This All the living things above constitute an entire ecosystem, which cycles over and over again.

Nature operates on this premise.

But as for humans, excessive mining, hunting, killing animals, and deforestation... have caused ecological damage.

If we do not go too far, but do things within a reasonable ecological range and based on the premise of sustainable development, then humans, nature, animals and plants can coexist well.

The earth has existed for 4.5 billion years.

Human history is only a few million years old.

It is impossible to destroy just because of one human being.

However, human beings will destroy themselves because of their greed. I think this is what Hayao Miyazaki's movies and pokeni's games are trying to tell us. "

"Being able to raise questions and make people think is enough for games and movies. The rest is left to us in reality."

…

After the "Princess Mononoke" game became popular, although there were certain controversies, they were mainly due to the plot, and there were no problems with the game itself.

There are even many moviegoers who believe that it is actually quite good that the game can be restored to this level.

The choice of Qing Zhiyuan is actually quite difficult. Under the premise of keeping the theme and plot unchanged, the only thing that can be done is to do a good job in the performance and gameplay.

Fortunately, the final effect was good.

It is precisely because of the groundbreaking action 3D RPG gameplay of "Princess of the Forest" that once again put Shinji Mikami on the altar.

Media reporters also conducted an exclusive interview with Shinji Mikami to find out what this talented producer thought about coming up with such a groundbreaking game design.

"It's really amazing to combine 3D and 2D and use 3D action gameplay to make up for the shortcomings in the plot." The reporter asked, "What did you think about and choose such a design?"

Shinji Mikami thought about it carefully and responded, "Actually, all this is thanks to our president, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan.

During the meeting, we raised the question of how to make the game fun while keeping the plot unchanged.

A guy named Hideki Kamiya said, why not make it a 3D game?

Then the president adopted his idea. "

"We were all shocked at the time and thought it was almost impossible to accomplish. After all, the animation itself is 2D. If you insist on changing a 2D animation into 3D, you will face a lot of difficulties.

In this case, it was the president who took us step by step and told us how to achieve this weird game that looks 2D but is actually played in 3D.

Yes, I can only describe it as weird.

However, the final result also proved this, President Qing Zhiyuan was right.

He is truly a genius. Without the president, we would not be able to create such an amazing game. "Mikami Shinji sighed.

However, the reporter had a meaningful expression on his face, making it clear that he didn't believe him.

Even because Mikami gave the credit to Qing Zhiyuan, he felt that this member was really cute. In order to save the president's face, he actually told such lies when facing the media.

"You are so humble, Mikami-san." The reporter said with a smile.

Do you think I will believe you if you just make up a story?

I……

Mikami choked with heat.

Everything I said is true!
