We promised to make a bad game, what the hell is Titanfall?
Chapter 59 A piece of good news, a piece of bad news [Please subscribe]
At noon the next day!
Gu Sheng was flipping through information on somatosensory cabin shooting games that have been popular in recent years in his office.
While I was watching, I heard someone knocking on the office door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
"Please come in."
Gu Sheng put down the information and looked up.
As the door opened, Lu Bian and Da Jiang appeared at the door, their expressions were mysterious.
"what?"
Gu Sheng frowned in confusion.
You know, these two guys never knock on the door when they come to him.
What happened today? The sun came out in the west?
Lu Bian walked into the office and showed a professional smile to Gu Sheng, like a waiter:
"Good morning, dear Director Gu. I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"...I want to hear what your attending doctor has to say first." Gu Sheng said speechlessly.
"Tsk, Lao Gu, why are you so boring!" Lu Bian complained.
"Ah, okay, okay," Gu Sheng raised his hands in surrender and played tricks with the two brothers: "Then I'll hear the bad news first. After all the hard work, the joy comes."
Lu Bian immediately returned to his professional state and nodded:
"OK."
As he spoke, he handed over a document:
"The bad news is that our first-day sales results have been released, 2,085 copies, which did not break the first-day sales record for a game of the same size."
"Well, it's okay, as expected."
Gu Sheng was not too surprised or annoyed about this.
After all, this is the type of game that is the most unpopular among the unpopular.
Even though many anchors personally experienced it yesterday, players' stereotypes about horror games cannot be reversed in a day or two.
Even if the score on the first day exceeded 2,000 points, Gu Sheng was quite satisfied.
After all, this result is only compared to their previous results, which may be slightly mediocre, but for the entire market, it is already considered to be in the middle and upper reaches.
In order for ghost phobia to explode, it still needs time to ferment.
"The bad news is not too bad," Gu Sheng closed the sales report and continued to ask, "What about the good news?"
"Good news, hehehe, the good news is so damn good——"
Then Lu Bian took out his mobile phone from behind and handed it to Gu Sheng:
“Our single-week sales may explode!!!”
ha?!
Seeing Lu Bian's excited face, Gu Sheng didn't know why.
He took the phone and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but take a breath——
"Black Box Review: (Phobia) A ghost card that redefines horror games (9.8/10)"
"This is... a media evaluation?!"
Gu Sheng looked at the content on his phone and was quite surprised.
Media evaluation is a form of media communication in which professional evaluation teams on mainstream game websites or forums systematically analyze and score the most popular masterpieces.
To some extent, media evaluation is also an important way for game promotion.
In fact, its role is more prominent than ordinary game news.
Because players have always been convinced by this kind of professional evaluation, especially several mainstream domestic evaluation media, which can almost be said to be the vane of the game.
but!
According to Zhao Sheng's understanding, in this world, media evaluation and scoring of somatosensory cabin games are generally only done for those high-cost works.
Mainstream professional evaluation teams such as black box games rarely pay attention to low-cost and small-volume games.
"We are so lucky..."
Gu Sheng muttered, obviously a little surprised by this big pie falling from the sky:
"Is this a game review opportunity for nothing?"
However!
Regarding Gu Sheng's "lucky" statement, Lu Bian shook his head:
"Lao Gu, if I had only picked up this one review, I wouldn't be so happy."
Talk!
Lu Bian waved his hand!
Behind him, Dajiang stepped forward and placed the prepared information in front of Gu Sheng!
"Brother Sheng, we really exploded this time,"
"Eighty percent of the mainstream game evaluation groups in China have evaluated and scored our games, and all of them are 9.5 or above,"
“Even self-review media with over a million fans on various platforms are full of praise for our game!”
watt?!
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was shocked.
When I opened the information, I saw that it was densely packed with evaluation scores from no less than twenty game media!
SNG evaluation, 9.7 points: A creepy new form of horror masterpiece, Haunter uses its ingenious psychological fear therapy to cure my horror game boredom for so many years!
Gamer's Bonfire, 9.6 points: The era of Jumpscare has passed! The 'psychological fear flow' created by Haunted Phobia is epoch-making! Of course, it would be nice if their cost investment was higher...
Tiantian Youbao, 9.8 points: Psychological fear! If you ask me where the creative limit of Golden Wind is, then I will tell you that it is like the fear in ghost phobia, which only exists in your mind.
Only you can't think of it, but they can't do it.
Somatosensory World, 9.7 points: Terror is coming! A dimensionality-reducing blow from a supernova! A small blue film that can truly cure sheep impotence in horror games! Make sure you have no history of heart disease before playing!
China Game Forum, 9.7 points!
Lao Sang talks about the game, 9.5 points!
The sucking game, 9.6 points...
From game media to game forums, to video websites and online self-media.
Without exception, everyone gave this game very high praise!
It seems that the only negative point for this game is that the investment is slightly low, resulting in the performance level of the game hardware not being perfect.
Looking at it, Gu Sheng couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Is this...something wrong?!"
Logically speaking, a motion-sensing cabin game of their size is not worthy of being evaluated and rated by mainstream media.
Even if we take a step back, some media have seen the quality of their game and believe that the psychological horror gameplay is indeed groundbreaking.
It should also be due to a period of fermentation after it was evaluated by a mainstream media and caused widespread response in the market.
Then, other media started to comment one after another.
Instead of like now, a huge number of media swarmed in, and at the same time, as if it had been agreed upon, they launched an overwhelming review and publicity of this game!
"Someone is doing some propaganda for us?!"
Gu Sheng immediately realized that this was definitely not an ordinary piece of luck.
Many game media have unanimously agreed. Someone must be behind the scenes and help them!
"That's right!"
Lu Bian snapped his fingers, then raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Then do you know who operated this?"
Gu Sheng's first reaction was of course Xiao Nezha.
After all, their company is so big.
If he, the game director, hadn't done any publicity, it would have been Xiao Nezha, the president.
But then I thought about it and shook my head again.
It shouldn't be.
Little Nezha has always given him numerous warnings, resolutely not to engage in publicity, and told him to put all his efforts into game development, with the attitude of an iron-headed boy who is not afraid of deep alleys.
What's more, with Xiao Nezha's understanding of the game industry, she couldn't think of a publicity format like evaluation.
Who could it be?
For a moment, Gu Sheng felt a little confused and shook his head: "It can't be Xiao Nezha, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Bian pulled up his trousers and sat on the sofa, pretending to be mysterious:
"Yes and no,"
"No, it's also,"
"I can only say that the water in this matter is very deep, and little Nezha is not as stupid and clear as we thought,"
"How should I put it? Anyone who understands understands it. I can only say so much."
Gu Sheng:......
"If you continue to be the fucking Riddler, get out of Binjiang City."
"Don't, don't, don't be joking, brother,"
Seeing that Gu Sheng was about to stand up and demand justice for him, Lu Bian quickly waved his hand with a smile:
"Sit down, sit down, can't you please let me talk to you..."
Talking!
Lu Bian then analyzed what he saw and heard and told everything in detail.
I listened to Lu Bian’s story!
Gu Sheng crossed his shoulders and frowned in thought:
"...In other words, the extra 80,000 login fee given by Xiao Nezha is actually a hint that Yiyou will give us the green light and provide policy support for in-depth cooperation?"
"I also listened to Mr. Chu's analysis,"
Lu Bian shrugged and said:
"Don't talk about this to us. Little Nezha didn't even tell Secretary Chu. At that time, she was so distressed that she thought Little Nezha was deliberately squandering the money."
"Um--"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded.
Awesome.
Little Nezha is able to come up with this set of business operations, and his mind is quite flexible.
It not only avoids the embarrassment of not having a professional publicity team, but also makes full use of the favor and goodwill of Yiyou for them.
Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, leverage strengths, and understand the hidden rules of business.
Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog daughter.
Gu Sheng sighed in his heart.
After all, little Nezha is also a top student at a key university. He comes from a merchant family. He may not understand games, but he certainly does not understand business.
"Apart from this? Does Yiyou have any other publicity actions?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"Of course,"
Lu Bian nodded:
"In order to cooperate with the sales of our game, Yiyou announced this morning that it will launch a somatosensory cabin theme for ghost phobia, and all players who purchase the game will receive it,"
"In addition, they also held a game-sharing lottery on Weibo,"
"As long as players participate in Weibo, use the topic #鬼故事#, and share game clips, screenshots, jokes, etc.,"
"You will have a chance to draw a brand new game x1."
Good guy.
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was secretly surprised.
For Yan Sheng to be able to do this, it can be said that he is testing the bottom line crazily.
After all, theoretically speaking, Golden Wind has not yet reached the standard for in-depth cooperation with art games.
Even if Yan Sheng gives them the green light, it is impossible for them to actually implement the announcement in accordance with the standards of in-depth cooperation.
It helps them find reviews, launches themes, and holds draws to build momentum for them.
Art tours are already very interesting.
In fact, the total publicity costs have already exceeded 80,000 yuan.
"Yan Sheng is a good comrade." Gu Sheng nodded.
"Indeed," Lu Bian also said sincerely: "This is because Yiyou has a high reputation and high status. If we were to go out to the media for evaluation, let alone so many, it would be difficult to buy one for 80,000 yuan."
"So..."
Finally, Gu Sheng concluded:
"Little Nezha, don't look at him for being so heartless."
"At the critical moment, he is really a damn talent!!!"
…
Not surprisingly, ghost phobia has become popular.
Just like a person's success requires strength and luck.
The success of a game also requires two elements - quality and publicity.
There is no doubt that the quality of Phobia can put other horror games on par in this world.
Coupled with the strong support of my good comrade Yan Sheng, the propaganda was as hard as a dog licking.
Almost in just half a day, Phobia has become a hotly discussed game among players!
When the hands of the clock point to eight o'clock in the evening again!
Along with the nightfall, there is also the terrifying baptism of ghost phobia, as well as the tragic screams of countless anchors!
"...WDNMD Winter Melon Strong, this is the picture you picked?!"
At midnight in the morning, amid the gloomy wind, four people stood in front of an old house, looking at the paper figures and horses lined up on both sides in front of the scarlet door.
As a sound of wind sounded like a woman's whimpering, two rows of wreaths next to the wall rustled, and the big word "Dian" fluttered in the wind.
Liu Peiqie, Dong Gua, Liu Di, and Teacher Ma stood in front of the gloomy old courtyard, unable to take a single step.
Originally, Liu Peiqia just saw that this game had high reviews and was very popular, so he wanted to give it a try and want to experience it.
But who would have expected that after seeing the barrage saying that their FPS anchors were timid and lustful, Dong Gua committed hyperthyroidism on the spot.
I must choose a map with expert level difficulty, saying that I want to clear my name.
Ever since.
They came here.
Ancient house.
An additional map added by Gu Sheng, full of Chinese horror elements.
Liu Peiqie regretted it as soon as he came in. He really shouldn't have listened to Donggua and blindly checked eight pictures.
The game itself is hellish enough.
He was so scared when he watched Lao Lao's live video just now.
As a result, Donggua, this guy, also chose a Chinese-style horror map.
Don't say anything else.
Just the pair of paper figures and horses poking at the door were enough to scare him!
I don't know if it was because of the night or because he was mentally nervous.
He always felt that the two paper figures of a boy and a girl were staring at him.
Under the fear, Liu Peiqiao was furious:
"The picture you chose! Winter melon! Don't be afraid of pinching the horse in a while!"
"I...cough!"
Donggua was quite crazy at first, and thought that horror games were just like that, and the worst they could do was to be frightened.
But as soon as he came in, he saw that he had no weapon in his hand and saw the eerie door of the mansion, and he immediately panicked.
But the so-called road I chose had to be walked on my knees, so I cleared my throat and pretended to be calm:
"That's it! What are you afraid of? They say that all of us are timid and lustful! Can you bear this? Brother Qie, are you afraid? Can you be afraid?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Peiqia naturally couldn't admit defeat:
"Damn it, am I scared? Could I be scared? I'm kidding! Are you scared, Mr. Di?!"
"Oh! I'm afraid? I haven't seen anything!"
Liu Di didn’t lose face either:
"I'm really not afraid at all! Are you afraid, old horse?"
Lao Ma is actually a little scared.
But seeing everyone saying this, I could only grin: "If I say I'm not afraid, it seems like a lot of money, then... I'm not afraid either."
The words have not yet been spoken!
I saw the three anchors in the FPS area all moving back!
"Teacher Ma said he is not afraid!"
"Woc is awesome, Teacher Ma!"
"It has to be Lao Ma. Then Lao Ma, you go first!"
"Teacher Ma, let's go first, we'll cut you off..."
The outrageous scene made the barrage unstoppable——
‘What kind of trick is this for me to blanch?!’
"I put my brother in my pocket, but I will kick my brother into the ditch?"
‘Pass it on, the big FPS anchors are collectively suppressing the gold medal lecturers in the league area’
'You three are so mean!'
'Is this something humans do?'
‘Lao Ma: I need a word that is more offensive than the new one’
'Hahahahahahaha that's too stupid...'
The water friends laughed, and the old horse was also confused!
"Hey, I'm a trick, right? The little boss is really good at it..."
However, although he was surprised by the shamelessness of Liu Peijia and the others, Teacher Ma, who had always been generous, took the lead after all.
The group of people jostled each other, slowly moved up the bluestone steps, and bravely pushed open the red lacquer door of the ancient house.
This is a house with three entrances.
As soon as they crossed the threshold, the scene in front of them made the four of them feel horrified!
However, I saw two red lanterns with a deep halo hanging on the hanging flower door when I first entered the courtyard.
Above the lantern, the character "囍" is vaguely visible.
"Holy shit-"
When Liu Peiqia saw this scene, he felt bad:
"This is... a ghost marriage?!"
