We Promised To Make A Bad Game, But What The Hell Is Titanfall?

Chapter 100 Three heroes fight Lu Bu?

"Golden Wind..."

Before Mr. Zhao finished speaking, everyone in the conference room spoke in unison.

Everyone's consensus is very unified.

Because of this company’s accomplishments in FPS games——

No one can beat it!

"Road to Survival" creates a "second-generation FPS model" that has been praised by countless peers and imitated crazily!

Immediately afterwards, it detonated the shooting game market with "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", leading sales in Asia, and at the same time created a new FPS gameplay of "Battle Royale"!

In just one year!

Two works!

A game that subverts the basic model of shooting games! Another one that creates a new way to play the game!

I dare not say that such a company is unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented!

Therefore, all the senior management of Yiyou immediately thought of Golden Wind.

But the problem is——

"Can their size meet the production cost requirements of the escort masterpiece?"

Mr. Sun said:

"Normally speaking, the cost of escorting a masterpiece is easily seven or eight billion, and it is not uncommon to even exceed one billion. But Golden Wind..."

"Even counting the revenue that PUBG brought them this time,"

"It is impossible for them to produce a game with a total investment of 8 to 9 billion, or even more than 1 billion, before the release of Yiyu x2..."

Volume issue.

It seems that this problem has been plaguing Golden Wind since their inception.

Today, it is even more so.

"What about our investment?"

When everyone frowned, Mr. Qian suggested:

"We are responsible for funding and supplementing the development funds required by Golden Wind, and then both parties will share the dividends in proportion."

Although Mr. Qian’s words sound reasonable.

But obviously, he didn't consider how much money Yiyou would need to invest if he really invested.

After all, he is the boss of the development department, his surname is Qian, but he has long played the role of asking for money and has no idea about the amount of investment.

"not too good,"

The second-in-command, Mr. Zhao, immediately shook his head and signaled something was wrong:

"If Golden Wind really wants to develop one of the three escort masterpieces, then the project will be launched by the end of next month at the latest,"

"At that time, PUBG's full revenue will not exceed 200 million. This is still under the most ideal situation,"

"In other words, we will need to inject 600-800 million yuan into them by then to be able to support their game development,"

"The risk is too high."

As an investor, the investment amount is close to 80% of the total project amount!

Isn’t this nonsense!

This is not investment, it is clearly gambling.

Hundreds of millions of dollars.

Such a large sum of money is not a small amount even for an art tour.

and!

The use of such a huge amount of funds requires the approval of the board of directors.

And Yan Sheng knew that group of people very well.

As a somatosensory cabin and game platform company, the board of directors will never agree to their taking such an unconventional approach, temporarily pretending to be a game development investment company, and injecting hundreds of millions into a small emerging enterprise.

And if they insist on going their own way and misappropriate funds without telling the board of directors, then if they fail, everyone here, including Yan Sheng, will suffer a lot, and may even be sued.

Therefore, it is useless just for a few of their executives to trust Golden Wind.

The board of directors didn't make a decision and no one was hired.

"Um--"

At this point, several people frowned in thought and ran out of ideas for a while.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yan Sheng also sighed: "Well, Golden Wind will be a backup for the time being. For FPS games, we should contact Zhenting Studio first."

Zhenting Studio is also a relatively well-known large-scale game company in China, focusing on FPS games.

In terms of size, it is as famous as Guangyao, one of the five major studios under Xunteng.

The two families are rivals of each other, often fighting each other, and winning and losing.

Since Guangyao is a direct descendant of Xunteng, Zhenting naturally prefers Yiyou. The relationship between the two companies is not bad and they have collaborated many times before.

After all, Yan Sheng considered the size issue and put Golden Wind on the candidate list.

Although, he desperately wanted to cooperate with Golden Wind and allocated the last spot for the FPS escort masterpiece to Golden Wind, with Gu Sheng personally managing it.

But no matter what, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

He can't let Golden Wind produce a work worth less than 200 million and launch it as their escort masterpiece, right?

Wouldn't that make people laugh out loud?

Thinking about it, Yan Sheng also picked up the phone and prepared to have a call with the person in charge of Zhen Ting Studio. He would first call the front desk to ask what the other party meant and see if there was any intention to cooperate.

However!

Before he could find the contact information of Zhen Ting Studio on his phone!

Ding dong!

Suddenly, the phone rang!

A notification from Tiantian Travel News appeared at the top of the screen——

"Heavyweight!" Xunteng announces cooperation with Zhenting Studio! 》

I? ah?

Yan Sheng froze immediately and read the news three times!

Then, hold up the phone and flip it left and right to check.

He suspected that he was being monitored!

I just said I wanted to cooperate with Zhen Ting, and the next second you told me that Zhen Ting had "surrendered to the enemy"?

Why do I feel like I'm being manipulated by a mysterious force?

Yan Sheng felt a little numb. When he opened the push notification, he saw it read:

...It is reported that the cooperation between the two parties this time is mainly to prepare for the "Polar Bear 3rd Generation" somatosensory cabin that will be released in the first half of next year.

By then, Zhenting Studio will join forces with Xundeng's two ace shooting game studios, Guangyao and Tianlang, to jointly launch three FPS-type escort masterpieces.

At the same time, the Polar Bear 3 generation will also become the only somatosensory cabin so far that has been protected by three games of the same type.

It is enough to show that Xunteng Games is determined to win the FPS market this time...

hiss--! ! !

Putting down the phone, Yan Sheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and frowned into a knot.

He knows that it will be in the first half of next year.

The new generation of somatosensory cabin "Polar Bear 3" developed by Xunteng Technology will be released in perfect sync with the "Yiyou x2" developed by Yiyou.

Of course, it's not so much a collision, but Xunteng Technology's 'sniping' at them.

The reason is also very simple——

As of the second quarter of this year, Yiyoux1’s domestic market share has increased from 17% to 20%, a year-on-year increase of 3 percentage points.

The market share of Polar Bear 2 dropped from 28% to 25%, a drop of 3 percentage points.

The gap between the two sides has also shortened from the original 11% to 5%.

Of course Xunteng can't sit still, because if this continues, their position as the leader of the domestic somatosensory cabin will likely be replaced.

Xun Teng's sniper attack was unexpected by Yan Sheng.

But he didn't expect it!

This time, Xun Teng's offensive was so fierce!

We have found three large-scale shooting game studios in China and launched three FPS games as escort masterpieces to build momentum for the new generation of somatosensory cabins!

I can tell!

Xunteng is going crazy, and it is bound to take a piece of the big cake in the increasingly hot shooting game market!

Even at any cost!

He took the initiative to contact Zhen Ting, whose relationship had not been harmonious before, and spent a lot of money to win them over, almost completely monopolizing the resources of domestic first-line shooting game developers!

[This time, you Yiyou can’t get enough of the shooting game! 】

Xun Teng's meaning is obvious.

It took half a minute!

Yan Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and forwarded the message to the executive WeChat group:

"Come on, let me stop calling Zhen Ting. Let's find another way out..."

After hearing this, all the executives picked up their mobile phones.

After checking it, I was all dumbfounded!

What the fuck?

Is Mr. Yan always following his words?

Just when he said he wanted to cooperate with Zhen Ting, Zhen Ting surrendered to the enemy?

certainly!

It's actually not appropriate to say "surrender to the enemy".

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

As an independent game studio, Zhenting has not signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with Yiyou, and is not an in-depth partner of Yiyou. It is understandable to choose Xunteng, which bids higher and opened earlier.

Just this way...

"Then what should we do?"

Vice President Zhao scratched his head:

"Aren't you going to give up on this?"

"There are not many established first-tier manufacturers in China that focus on shooting games. After all, Xunteng has always dominated the market before,"

"Two of the top three major FPS companies are owned by Xunteng,"

"It's great now, all three of the damn families are under their control,"

"Let's... what the hell..."

Lao Zhao looked complicated.

I'm not angry, I just think this is outrageous.

Three FPS escort masterpieces? !

Is this what the hell people do? !

Who would choose three games of the same type as the escort masterpieces for their somatosensory cabin? !

Is this... raising Gu?

Hearing Lao Zhao's doubts, Mr. Li, who was in charge of market operations, shook his head: "It's not about cultivating Gu. Xunteng wants to fully occupy the FPS market and wants to kill us with one shot..."

Hearing this, Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows and raised his hand: "Tell me?"

Mr. Li nodded:

"First of all, Xuntou is not stupid, I believe everyone knows this,"

"History, no somatosensory cabin company has selected all its escort masterpieces to be of the same game type at the time of release,"

"Xundou must know this, so according to my guess——"

"Their tactic this time is to 'defeat them from all sides and attack them together'."

Mr. Li is very smart, or rather, very thief.

After all, he specializes in playing the market, and if you pull out a strand of your hair, it will be empty.

I immediately realized that this wave of operations by Xun Teng can be described as extremely ambitious!

"Tianlang, Guangyao, Zhenting,"

Mr. Li clasped his fingers and said:

"These three developers seem to be all FPS manufacturers, but in fact, they have different focuses."

"Tianlang's main focus is traditional battle competition. It started from the first generation of FPS and is the early core development team of FireWire Shuttle,"

"Guangyao's main focus is on motion-sensing cabin masterpieces. The current development focus is on the second-generation FPS, and it is very good at grasping market trends,"

"As for Zhen Ting, he has always focused on the stand-alone game market. Whether it is the plot narrative or the graphics, the market reputation is good."

After listening to Mr. Li's analysis, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.

Mr. Li’s meaning is already very obvious——

Tianlang focuses on traditional battles to stabilize their position.

Guangyao launches the second-generation FPS to increase the battle royale and divide and encroach.

Zhen Ting is responsible for producing a single machine, chasing and intercepting him.

Three axes, axes are going straight to the throat of Yiyou, and they are bound to win the shooting game market in one fell swoop!

Even Yan Sheng, as a competitor, couldn't help but sigh in his heart at what a fierce offensive!

If you need money, you have money, if you need people, you have people!

The three-blade ax may seem simple and crude, but if you hit it with one force, it will hit you with a big ax, even an artist can't resist it!

Apparently!

Hard steel is definitely not a good choice for art games!

So, after a moment of silence, Vice President Zhao said, "In that case, Mr. Yan, we might as well avoid the edge for the time being."

Yan Sheng understood what Vice President Zhao meant.

The three axes are powerful and difficult for them to resist.

If that's the case, then I won't resist!

Anyway, the games in the somatosensory cabin are not just FPS!

Since Xundo has gone ruthless this time and is desperate to seize the FPS market, then just stay away from them and focus on sports and racing in the escort masterpiece.

Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, this is the benefit of walking on three legs.

Although a part of the shooting game market may be lost, it can be made up for through the other two tracks, and even overtaken.

Why not do it?

"Mr. Zhao, you mean we just give up on FPS?"

Yan Sheng pondered slightly:

"But the full-sensory assistive technology of Yiyu x2 performs best in FPS type..."

"There's no need to give up completely,"

Vice President Zhao chuckled and said:

"When it comes to the choice of shooting game manufacturers...don't we still have an alternative?"

Golden wind!

Just listen to Mr. Zhao say:

"We definitely cannot be completely short on the shooting game sector, otherwise the advantages of full-sensory assistance will not be reflected,"

"But if we have to shoulder three goals, it will not be worth the loss for us,"

"Then it's better to let the golden wind go into battle,"

"Tian Ji is racing."

"Use low-cost horses to symbolically compare with Xun Teng's three-axe,"

"Then we increase our efforts and strive to let the other two tracks seize this opportunity to achieve overtaking in corners,"

"Anyway..."

Speaking of which.

Lao Zhao is actually a little embarrassed, knowing that his move is a bit damaging, but it is indeed the optimal solution:

"Anyway, Golden Wind... should be used to fighting this kind of battle where less wins more,"

"Although Golden Wind is inferior in terms of cost, I believe that with Director Gu's performance..."

"Well……"

"Um……"

"That should be... okay too, right?"

In the end, Lao Zhao himself didn't believe it.

He really couldn't make up any more of this nonsense.

How much does it cost to invest in Golden Wind?

One hundred million? Two hundred million?

How much is the investment in Sanbanax?

Three billion? Four billion?

Just pick one out and it can knock the golden wind down to the ground and explode the hammer!

In a one-to-one situation, the cost difference is even ten times!

What's more, this time, they want the Golden Wind to fight three against one!

The cost difference is thirty to forty times!

What kind of magical game is it that can allow Golden Wind to make a comeback at such a huge disadvantage? !

Lao Zhao couldn't figure it out.

Because that is simply tan90° - it does not exist!

This move is actually to draw the golden wind as a backing!

Among the three heroes fighting against Lu Bu, Lu Bu still had superior fighting ability!

What are these two money-making guys from Golden Wind?

Saying my name scares you.

This is just like three Lu Bu beating General Lingling.

Old Zhao even suspected that he would only be able to build a tomb for Golden Wind——

The ashes of Golden Wind will have to be raised by those three people.

Yan Sheng was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, Lao Zhao's move is really damaging. Tian Ji's horse racing at this level is like letting a primary school student enter the Octagon to compete with three Tysons.

But on the other hand, Lao Zhao's method is indeed the current optimal solution.

Dilemma!

After some pondering!

Yan Sheng was worried!

"Well, in two days, PUBG's first week sales will be out,"

"Looking at this, there should be no problem in recovering the cost in the first week,"

"While Mr. Shen is happy, I will go to Binjiang myself,"

"On the one hand, I would like to express my congratulations to President Xiao Shen, and on the other hand, I would also like to take the opportunity to share our thoughts,"

"I guess she can accept it better..."

…

I can't accept it.

I can't fucking accept it! ! !

Ah ah ah ah ah--

Two days later!

Golden Wind President's Office.

Shen Miaomiao grabbed the gilt-framed wooden certificate in her hand, clenched her teeth, her eyes were about to burst, and she almost broke the certificate in her hand!

On the table, as of eight o'clock last night, Yajing Club specially faxed her the sales results of PUBG's first week!

Other games don’t have this treatment!

because!

As of last night!

The total number of copies sold of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds broke the highest weekly sales record in the history of the Asian Games and made history!

566,894 copies sold in a single week! Total sales revenue was 55,555,612 yuan!

Excluding the 10% commission, the net profit was perfectly recovered in one week, even exceeding 50 yuan!

What Shen Miaomiao was holding in her hands was the record-breaking medal certificate sent by China Entertainment Network on behalf of the Asian Games.

What the fuck...

Shen Miaomiao was about to go berserk.

Making money is not scary, the key is that my 10 million is included in this BYD game!

Ten million!

That's what I got in exchange for a super guaranteed card!

That is a hundred-fold rebate card that is extremely precious and can only be obtained by unlocking achievements!

Only this one! No more missing out!

For this thing, I struggled for half a year, and finally came up with "Land of Survival", which turned a loss of 100,000 into 10 million.

Before the money was even warmed up, it was transferred into the company's funds free of charge, thinking that the chicken would lay eggs, and the cycle would be endless, and the situation would be great.

result!

Half a year!

The egg did give birth to a chicken, but he meowed and the chicken ran away! ! !

Shen Miaomiao was very sad.

Even a little phantom egg pain...

Plop.

After holding her breath for a while, Shen Miaomiao lay weakly on the table, a sad tear falling from the corner of her eyes.

Frustrated.

It’s so frustrating.

Especially after hearing the employees outside the door rushing to tell each other, congratulations to each other, and exclaiming "Director Gu is really a god!"

This frustration has simply reached its peak.

Is there any heavenly principle?

Is there any royal law?

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

I!

Tolerate the calm for a while, take a step back and get angrier the more you think about it!

Make a sound!

Shen Miaomiao jumped up from her seat, raised the medal and certificate and was about to knock it on her knees!

But right now!

Tuk-tuk-tap-click.

Chu Qingzhou knocked on the door and stuck his head in: "Mr. Shen, you...? What are you doing?"

But see you!

At this time, Shen Miaomiao was holding up the medal and certificate with both hands and looking up, like an old ape holding Simba.

"I……"

Shen Miaomiao opened her mouth:

"Ah-Zkenya-Mummy Chihuahua-"
