There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

next.

After a series of yes yes.

Koichi Nakabo finally hung up the phone, and he was very respectful until the moment he pressed the hang up button.

Until the phone is completely hung up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and came to the office window, looking out at the city scenery.

"Reflecta press conference..."

Nakabo Koichi tugged at the tie around his neck and suddenly smiled.

The person on the other end of the phone said to let him watch the press conference and write a report.

But this kind of thing, generally speaking, does not need him, a person in charge of a large district, to do it.

Just find someone at the headquarters.

so.

It's just an excuse.

His sycophancy and social animal experience finally paid off.

The president wants to transfer him back to the headquarters.

This report is the beginning.

He is leaving the country soon.

Koichi Nakabo looked around the window, feeling a little bit reluctant for a moment.

This is a vibrant country.

But soon.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought.

Although this country is very dynamic, it does not have a console culture... and Peria has no other business besides games, so staying here can only waste time and have no future.

Let's go back.

Although.

His reply to the president just now was flattering, but to a certain extent, it also represented his true thoughts.

No matter how powerful that Linmu studio's games are, and no matter how famous it is in this country, without the console culture, the console still cannot be sold.

Don't look at the many excited players on the forum.

But how many people who are booing and excited will buy a host?

... Definitely not more than 20 percent.

This is the conclusion that Nakabo Kouichi came to after staying in this country for so long.

Therefore, the mainframe of Linmu Studio can only be sold overseas.

But overseas.

This is the case for Reflecta, which is rooted in North America, to enter the console market.

Can it really be done by changing to a forest studio?

impossible.

The reason why Peria became a multinational company and was able to sell hosts to the other side of the Pacific Ocean was because they had good sales in their own country, which gave them capital, confidence, and experience.

But Linmu Studio doesn't even have a domestic market, so it wants to enter the overseas market...

How could it be done.

That's why, at first, he didn't believe that Linmu Studio would be the host.

Because in his opinion, Linmu Studio really has no chance.

Consoles and games are completely different things.

Games can be sold online.

The host wants to send the machine to the player.

That's the difference.

However, in the end, Linmu Studio did it.

This was beyond his expectation.

But not much difference either.

Under the siege of Peria and another host manufacturer.

They simply can't do it.

Or after the launch, persist for a period of time and declare failure.

Either see the end of Reflecta, suspend the project, and stop the loss as soon as possible.

Other than that, there is no other possibility.

It is nothing more than the difference between early death and late death.

"But why bother?"

When Nakabo Koichi thought of this, he shook his head, no longer thinking about the opponent who was destined to fail, and turned away from the window.

...

that day.

One o'clock in the morning domestically.

North American Eastern Time, twelve o'clock noon.

The Reflecta press conference officially entered the countdown.

Although Chinese people didn't pay much attention to this press conference, many players in North America watched it.

Although...

Most of the exclusive games on the Reflecta console are imitations of the works of other major manufacturers.

The reviews are not very good.

Their host popularity has never been comparable to the other two host manufacturers.

But I can't stand Reflecta's willingness to spend money.

In this press conference, Reflecta has spent a lot of effort and cost to promote it, and domestic players may not feel much about it.

But in North America, as long as you are a player, you all know that Reflecta will have a development conference tonight, and they also said that they will give all players a surprise...

Under this overwhelming publicity, it coincides with the beginning of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Many stand-alone players still watched it.

certainly.

Also includes game media.

However, let's see.

Whether it is players or game media, they are not very optimistic about Reflecta's press conference.

After all, most of Reflecta's works have been imitating other major manufacturers since the console was released.

Although there are some innovations, they are very general.

And the relatively new games they promised before the console was released have not been seen for a long time.

It's quite disappointing...

Therefore, this press conference, everyone's expectations are not too high.

even.

Many players who plan to buy consoles have already decided to buy consoles from the other two console manufacturers during the shopping season.

This press conference is really just to see...

For example, West Brom, Ohio, is like that.

at this time.

Siblon was sitting on a spacious sofa at a friend's house, gulping down tons of beer and complaining, "Damn it, Marco, you're not really going to let me watch this launch at lunchtime, are you?"

Marco sat next to him, took a bite of the pizza, looked at the time in the upper left corner of the screen in front of his eyes, and said helplessly: "I don't want to, but this is my job! Lambert called me just now, are you okay?" Know."

"Don't Lambert know that Reflecta's work is not worth looking forward to?"

"Yes, but Reflecta paid for it."

"Shit, no wonder I keep seeing related reports recently."

"So man, I can't help it, I have to write the manuscript today, or our Thanksgiving game plan will be ruined."

Marco stuffed the last bite of pizza into his mouth, licked his fat fingers, and continued: "And, my friend, think about the good, what if there is a surprise this time? I took a look at Reflecta, and their host The promotion is very strong, if there is a good game, you buy one, and our holiday will be even better."

"Come on."

Sibulon held the beer, leaned back, and put his legs on the table: "Do you believe this? You will buy their mainframe."

"No...damn, you watch some pizza! Don't get the mud on your boots!"

Marco shook his head, then was startled when he saw Sibulon's posture.

Sibulon moved his legs to the side without haste, away from the pizza, and then took a sip of beer: "So, if you don't even buy a game reporter, can you count on me?"

"Then it's lunch time! I'll just write a manuscript to brag about it, it'll be ready soon... oh, it's about to start."

Marco picked up a slice of pizza again, stuffed it into his mouth after confirming that it was not dirty, and at the same time picked up the notebook and put it on his lap, looking at the screen.

Sibulon heard the words and didn't say anything more.

at the same time.

domestic.

Koichi Nakabo stayed in his office, also watching the live broadcast of the press conference.

The countdown is walking slowly.

He couldn't help but yawned.

It was early morning in China, and he was a little sleepy.

Although letting him watch the press conference this time is just a pretext, just go through the motions.

But he still insisted on staying, and prepared to write a beautiful report and submit it.

Because it is easier to win the favor of the boss.

And this is the second truth he summed up in his social life...

but.

really a bit sleepy...

Koichi Nakabo yawned again.

Think about it.

He picked up the cup and went to the break room to pour a cup of coffee.

A person who hasn't stayed up all night for a long time, at this point, is indeed a bit difficult to bear.

And waited for him to return after pouring the coffee.

The press conference has just begun.

A man in a suit and leather shoes appeared on the screen, and then slowly walked onto the stage.

He enthusiastically began to greet the audience in the audience and the audience in front of the screen.

However, the enthusiasm and excitement of the host on stage did not infect Nakabo Koichi at all.

He had no expression on his face, he just hoped that the other party would hurry up.

However, the press conference is a process of bragging about past achievements, constantly throwing suspense and excitement.

And the host that Reflecta chose this time is also very aware of this.

So it's not going any faster.

After he said hello, there was a burst of bragging.

Brag about what the Reflecta console has achieved this time.

But his words are false, and most people can hear it.

Nakabo Koichi remained expressionless.

Most of the audience in the venue were also expressionless...

And probably noticed this situation.

The host on the stage glanced at the audience.

Finally stopped the pointless bragging, officially entered the topic.

First of all, they announced that the online game arcade of the Reflecta console will be officially launched, supporting multiple payment methods.

Then, after explaining this function a little bit.

Game broadcasts are finally here.

But the game broadcast... As many players expected, it is really not very attractive.

Most of them are those pies that were mentioned when Reflecta zodiac 1 was first released at the beginning of the year.

And these games, most players who watched the press conference at the beginning know it.

Surprise.

A little.

But just a little.

Because these game promotional videos have not changed much compared with the previous ones, and most of them are released after the shopping season.

There are only two games, which are released during the shopping season.

But the production companies of these two games are not well-known.

Not to mention the slow release, I have seen the promotional video, but it has only been changed a little, and there is no new game.

It just... feels normal.

It makes people not only not excited, but even a little bit want to laugh.

The scene of the press conference.

Several game broadcasts are over.

The audience was completely silent...

But Koichi Nakabo looked at the screen, shook his head expressionlessly, and suddenly regretted it.

That's it?

That's it! ?

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't stay up late tonight.

Go through it casually tomorrow and write it casually.

...

the other side.

"Damn! Haven't these games been announced before? How should I write this?"

Marco looked at the screen, put his hands on the keyboard, but didn't type out a single word: "Just these things!? I don't even know how to praise them!"

"My friend, think about the good, what if there is a surprise this time? Reflecta's host promotion is very strong, if there is a good game, you buy one, maybe we can spend a more wonderful vacation."

Sibulon smiled, and used what Marco said just now to tease his friend.

"Shit."

Marco shook his head, leaned out and picked up a piece of pizza again, and took a bite.

He doesn't even believe it now.

And a fart surprise!

on the screen.

After a series of broadcasts, the host returned to the stage.

But he looked at the dead silence of the meeting place, and the pressure was huge...

Things will turn out like this.

In fact, many high-level executives present at Reflecta did not expect it.

Because they really... have no game genes, don't know how to stimulate players at all, and can't even draw cakes well.

The promotional video that was released before was reposted with only a slight modification.

This thing... is not even considered hot and cold. Of course, the players are expressionless.

The host looked around the silent venue. Although the pressure was great, he still asked the players in the audience how they were feeling with a forced smile.

He's working hard.

But expected.

There was no response and cheers.

The host had no choice but to look somewhere off the stage.

The Reflecta executive sighed and gestured to him.

The host immediately breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of the fact that there was no response, he continued to forcefully smile and said, "The next thing we will do is reflecta's surprise for you, please watch the big screen."

He finished his last sentence.

Exit immediately.

"What is it this time?"

in front of the screen.

Sibron finished drinking the beer in his hand and went to the refrigerator to get another bottle. When he came back, he happened to see the host leaving the stage again, so he asked a question.

"Ghost knows, it's a surprise, but it's probably just a verbal 'surprise'."

Marco complained.

On the screen, at the conference site, the lights dimmed, and then the screen behind the venue lit up, showing another venue.

A tightly wrapped girl in a scarf appeared in front of the camera.

“Wuhu~~”

After prying off the wine cap and drinking beer, Sibron saw this scene with a little tipsiness, and immediately whistled: "The game is not working, have you started using beautiful women to attack? But why do you need to connect with this trick? Wouldn't it be better to find some bikini beauties?"

"No... I always feel that this person is somewhat familiar."

When Ma Ke saw the girl in front of the camera, he paused, and suddenly felt...the young and beautiful girl on the screen looked familiar.

Siblon sat down next to him: "Come on, you're just lecherous."

"no……"

Marco was about to refute.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lin Yao from Linmu Studio."

It was the first time for Lin Yao to participate in this kind of press conference, and she didn't know what to say in the first sentence, so she could only introduce herself in English based on intuition.

And Lin Yao introduced herself.

Ma Ke immediately exclaimed and stood up, finally knowing where this sense of familiarity came from.

Forest Studio!

at the same time.

Over there.

Hearing Lin Yao's words, some voices appeared in the silent auditorium just now.

In the past two years, Linmu Studio still has a good reputation among the player community, and they only released a "Witch" in the front-end time.

That game was a real hit.

Even if they don't know the name Lin Yao and Linmu Studio, many players have heard of it.

...

"!?"

Koichi Nakabo saw Lin Yao appearing on the screen. He was sipping his coffee, but suddenly he was shocked and his hands shook.

Coffee spilled directly on the table.

He hurriedly put down the cup and frantically pulled out a tissue to wipe it, but his eyes remained fixed on the screen.

His face was full of doubts.

What's happening here! ?

Why did Forest Studio appear at Reflecta's press conference! ?

And on the screen.

After Lin Yao introduced herself.

There were some voices in the venue, but they were not loud, and soon subsided.

And Lin Yao also continued: "Some time ago, I received an invitation from Reflecta and met with the domestic person in charge of Reflecta. He told me that he wanted more players to play good games. I think this is a good idea. proposal.

So this time, our studio has brought a few games for players, I won’t talk about more, please watch the big screen, I hope you will like it. "

Hearing this sentence, Nakabo Koichi felt as if he had been hit hard, and looked at the screen in shock: "????"

What the hell! ?

Why?

Aren't they hosts?

Why was a game made for Reflecta zodiac 1?

Why? ? ? ?

Takashi Nakabo was dumbfounded.

And the live broadcast is still going on.

Lin Yao didn't continue to say anything, and stepped aside directly.

And the lights dimmed again.

Then the screen lights up.

"We...are compatriots, right?"

Lu Xiu's voice sounded.

In the first half of the year, the "Witch" game screen appeared on the screen.

A promotional video specially made for the Reflecta conference began to play.

See this promo.

In the silent venue just now, finally... some cheers resounded.
