After YOO released their own first-person shooter game, they also launched their own racing game.

The fifth part of Need for Speed ​​was added by Zhu Youxing, which was very successful after the police and robbers chase, story mode and other gameplay, while YOO is more inclined to the real competition in the arena.

Obviously, the game studio has realized that it cannot compete directly with Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Anyway, racing games can not only do street racing, we can definitely make another racing game of track type.

Before the game was released, Changweiyu carried out a large-scale publicity as usual, especially announced a very high-profile cooperation with well-known racing events, allowing them to play the most classic types of racing events. They also spent a lot of money on this. Obtaining authorization for less money is obviously very eager to reproduce the success of FIFA football games.

However, when the game's first week of sales ended, the results were not satisfactory, and it can even be said to be a bit bad.

The sales volume of 120,000 in the first three weeks is even more than the sales of the previous two games.

And on various social media, the player's feedback is relatively flat. Most players seem not interested in racing games.

After the first week of sales, Changweiyu immediately invested more money in publicity, hoping to win word of mouth in this way.

It's just that the results are still terrible.

Su Rui Electronics also had high hopes for YOO's racing game, gave the game more resources, and even advertised for the game several times for free, but did not expect the sales of the game to be so low.

This is a game with an investment cost of over 100 million U.S. dollars, and this sales volume is simply not enough.

It is a very bad result for both Su Rui Electronics and YOO.

At this time, the game evaluation media also began to take the initiative to stand up, and the most authoritative Kazuo Murakami published his own article.

Everyone knows that he is a die-hard supporter of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but this will not affect his professional judgment.

He was the first group of people to play video games, and he has experienced countless games since junior high school.

And his evaluation of this racing game is a dessert game that can be played, but that's all. Kazuo Murakami himself is willing to give this game a three-and-a-half-star evaluation.

This is very good compared to the games of Surui Electronics' game consoles in the past few years.

After all, the previous games didn't even have a passing mark.

It's pretty good to be able to pass and go up now.

But players are a group of users who will never be satisfied, and they will infinitely desire better games.

And once you experience better games, some relatively low-quality games will start to feel boring.

This situation intensified after Youxing Electronic Entertainment released Need for Speed ​​5.

On the day when YOO’s racing game was released, there were not many players who went to the store to buy the game. At least they didn’t have to queue for a long time to buy the game.

The release of Need for Speed ​​5 is completely different.

For example, in the United States and Japan, players line up in the traditional way of setting up tents at the store entrance on the eve of the annual release.

In Europe, with the increase in the installed capacity of GS1 consoles, the players of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are also growing rapidly.

Players in the European region are also queuing up, which is very obvious compared to YOO's racing games.

Anyone who pays a little attention to the game circle can tell which game is more popular through this kind of on-site sales.

"Now I really want to know why Need for Speed ​​seems to be more popular. You have sworn before that you can use another way to express racing games and achieve cornering overtaking!"

Chang Weiyu is an operator, he is not a creator, but he has a unique vision, at least he can think of creating a media group of his own, so that the influence will continue to expand.

But he, who is not the creator, can't understand the development problems on those games.

Before, after his development team proposed the idea of ​​a racing game to him, he thought it was reasonable, at least he himself felt that he was more interested in a more realistic racing game.

And after the success of the football game, he felt that it was very important to obtain professional authorization.

However, he made these efforts and investments but had little effect.

He didn't understand, really didn't understand, why this was the result.

Now he can only question the person in charge of game development who had patted his chest with him as a guarantee.

I've given you the best possible development environment and it's totally unacceptable to get this result.

"President, we are not doing well enough, I am very sorry."

The person in charge of the game who was questioned didn't seem to be in a particularly good spirit at this time, and looked a little tired.

During this period of time, the pace of their game development is very fast. In order to catch up with the progress, he almost never sleeps. After the game was released, he thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect to be called over by Chang Weiyu again and again , He had a meeting for a while, and then he was studying how to increase sales. He really couldn't hold it anymore.

Not only that, there are some other reasons that make him feel a little bit unmotivated. One of them is that since the development of racing games, the salary is always paid later, and the salary has been significantly reduced. They also promised to reward each of them with a bonus after the release, but they have not mentioned it now.

And another reason is that since the advent of the Internet era, pure stand-alone video games are not just over after the game is released, but now after the game is released, it also needs continuous follow-up service support.

Because the deadline for this racing game was too tight, in order to be released earlier than Youxing Electronic Entertainment's Need for Speed, this also indirectly caused some problems in the bottom layer of the game itself. He was personally called by Chang Weiyu every day for a meeting , the people under him are not idle, they are patching up the loopholes every day.

All of this made the person in charge more and more exhausted, so he seemed a little weak when answering questions.

Chang Weiyu was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He said sternly: "Immediately find a way to remedy it. Can you launch more models? Can you launch more tracks?"

"This... may have some difficulties. The development team hasn't taken much rest yet. They have been urgently patching the game's bugs. They haven't been free after the game was released, and now they don't have much time to add game content."

"Just work overtime for me."

PS: Sorry readers and bosses, I had a lot of work on the weekend yesterday, and I fell asleep after get off work. I will make up chapters right away, and I will add more compensation today.
