Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Slightly unexpected, Pokémon didn't cause much of a frenzy.

Of course sales are also good.

Based on the fact that GB has already had millions of users during this period, there were more than 200,000 sales in the first week.

Interested players did not queue for too long when purchasing on the day of release, and quickly bought the Pokémon game they wanted.

And more are children who don't seem to be interested.

Looking at the first week's sales results, Zhu Youxing frowned and thought in the office.

At the same time, the screen on the computer on his desk stays in the Kazuo game network. Because Kazuo Murakami has obtained the Pokémon game in advance, he also posted his evaluation of Pokémon.

"Pokémon: A very special game, but it doesn't seem to be particularly fun."

"Recommended star rating: Samsung."

"First of all, I am a player, and secondly, I am a game reviewer. I have my mission, which is to give the most pertinent evaluation of all the games I review, without any utilitarian factors."

"I was very excited when I experienced Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's first-party games many times before, but this time I was not as happy as I imagined."

"The main elements of Pokémon are collection and challenges. This is different from the brave warriors who fought against the devil in the past, and the warriors who fought against evil. This game will make you feel a relaxed atmosphere."

"In this world, you can see a lot of strange creatures. They can be captured and become their own partners, and then use these partners to fight with opponents and win. This is what I call the special gameplay, which is different from the previous one. all different."

"But what I have to say is that I actually prefer more exciting games, and in turn this game makes me feel a little flat."

"That's why I gave this game three stars. Three stars are my passing star, which means that the game is complete enough and the content is sufficient, but it is difficult to attract me, but I believe that every game is different. People will like it, so if you are a player with spending power, you can try to experience this game, if not, I think you can wait and see, don't be too anxious."

This is the general evaluation given by Kazuo Murakami.

This evaluation is actually quite pertinent.

In the first generation of Pokémon games in the previous life, there were actually many game bugs. In addition, the developers of the first generation were somewhat insufficient, the development was relatively hasty, and the graphics were also somewhat poor, which led to the low evaluation of the game at the beginning of the game. Like Kazuo Murakami, the evaluation can only be said to be passing.

However, this game made by Zhu Youxing has been done as best as possible, the game is more complete as a whole, there are almost no vicious bugs, and the picture quality is much better than the first generation Pokémon in the previous life.

But it didn't bring the expected explosion.

This made Zhu Youxing scratch his head a little.

It seems that some video games really need to add some luck. It doesn't mean that if you reproduce the game from your previous life, you will be completely popular.

However, some game companies with a wait-and-see attitude, as well as manufacturers who develop game consoles, after seeing this result, they immediately went to do what they should do.

It seems that this game should only be regarded as an attempt by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but this attempt did not have a good effect.

Several game companies that had already started planning to make a similar game also immediately gave up, and turned to make games that are enough to attract attention according to the content of the evaluation of Yinan Game.com.

"President, we may have messed up this time. If you want to blame, just blame us."

The development of Pokémon this time is a game veteran drawn by Zhu Youxing from the second, third and fourth game development teams. There are more than 50 people, and then injected into these three game development teams. Fresh blood, let them continue to develop games steadily.

As for the team of more than 50 experienced game developers, the first game did not bring the expected explosive sales, and they also felt that they had a lot of responsibility.

For such a long time, Zhuyouxing has been generous to its employees, giving them enough remuneration, so that they have a good and easy life, but the sales of the games they made did not meet expectations, and they themselves feel very ashamed.

So the leader of this development team came to Zhu Youxing's office in person to apologize for making a bad game.

"No, this is not your reason. You have done a good job. In fact, this has long been in my plan."

The team leader was taken aback for a moment: "Is it in your plan, President?"

"That's right, it's just a short-term poor sales. Give this game a little time, and time will prove the real shining point of this game. Next, you are going to continue to develop new Pokémon games, according to the rhythm I specified before. , don’t make any changes, understand?”

Zhu Youxing's words may not really reassure the team leader, but at least it can ease his guilt.

Zhu Youxing urged him to continue to go back to work. After the game production is completed, if there are no vicious bugs that need to be repaired, they should stop paying attention to the game sales and continue to develop new Pokémon games according to their own instructions. just fine.

When the team leader left, Zhu Youxing fell into thinking again.

Maybe Pokémon is really not acclimatized in this world.

But this is only the first week of sales, in fact, it still doesn't prove anything.

I think Dragon Quest was not popular when it was released.

In the end, it was because of the linkage of comics that made Dragon Quest popular.

At the beginning, Zhuyouxing wanted to replicate the success of Dragon Quest, relying on the Pokémon animation broadcast at the same time to increase its popularity.

However, it seems that the effect is not very good.

By the way, I can now ask TV Tokyo how the ratings of Pokémon are.

The ratings of TV stations can also be used as a reference to a certain extent.

Also, try to increase investment in publicity for a month, and then look at the specific situation.

If it really doesn't work, it can roughly prove that Pokémon is slightly unacceptable in this world.

Maybe it's because I let the video game develop too fast, and it's not easy for players to settle down to play this kind of slower-paced companion game, or there may be other reasons.

However, as long as the sales volume of this generation of games can exceed 400,000, the balance of payments can be reached, and Zhuyouxing will let this series continue.

If the expected sales volume is not met, Zhuyouxing will insist on asking the development team to produce another three or four generations. Even if it really fails, it has to work harder to see if it is not acclimatized, or for other reasons.
