Chapter 294: A Billion Dollar Game

Lin Feng glanced at everyone and motioned for everyone to express their opinions on minh's idea. Although Lin Feng greatly appreciated this plan, he still understood the principle of brainstorming. Besides, if he always spoke his mind, it would definitely be a blow to the company's senior executives.

Not small.

"I agree. If this plan succeeds, I believe that "War of the Worlds" will become the most successful game in history." Cui Mingze was the first to agree, "As for funding, I believe that "Audition: All-Star Lineup" will definitely be able to

It brings huge profits to the company that are absolutely beyond imagination.”

Cui Mingze's attitude is also the attitude of several other ministers. We all make games, and it is always a pleasant thing to witness the release of an excellent work.

"I agree in principle, but if we follow minh's plan, I'm afraid the funds needed to develop "War of the Worlds" will exceed US$1 billion." After careful calculation, Wu Zhaopu frowned.

Developing a game with US$1 billion is not only unprecedented, but also probably unprecedented. But with the current capital chain of the "Second World", can it support the development of this game? In history, too many companies have planned too much because of

Magnificent and depleted of funds, it will eventually lead to decline or even destruction. Wu Zhaopu does not want the "Second World" to follow in this footsteps.

Wu Zhaopu's worries are also Lin Feng's worries. Back then, Apple was not like this. The "lisa database" that it took so much effort to develop not only exhausted Apple's funds, but also lacked interest because it was too expensive.

.——Even Americans can't afford it, let alone other countries in the world. In the end, "Apple" began to decline because of this.

If word spreads about spending 1 billion US dollars to develop a game, Lin Feng can be sure that tomorrow all newspapers and magazines around the world will have only one title - "Crazy "Second World"".

However, this plan is indeed very tempting. During the game, you can visit major cities around the world and be able to wreak havoc in the cities. This is indeed very tempting.

As soon as Wu Zhaopu looked at Lin Feng's eyes, he knew he was going to suffer. As a young boss, he must have begun to fall into fantasies about the bright future. Indeed, this idea is very tempting, and Wu Zhaopu himself is also looking forward to it, but there is no doubt that this idea requires funds.

It is too huge and will be an absolutely heavy burden on the "second world".

"Director Lin, not only do we have financial problems, but there is also another problem. Even if we develop it, will players' computers be able to withstand it? Will the computer configuration in three years be able to withstand such game requirements? Three-dimensional holographic maps of major cities around the world,

What kind of computer configuration is needed to play the game?" Wu Zhaopu thought for a while and tried to persuade Lin Feng from another angle.

Everyone pondered for a while. Indeed, if the game is developed but the player's computer cannot run it, it will undoubtedly be a tragic thing.

minh-le sighed, knowing that this idea would probably be shelved. "War of the Worlds" could only get rid of these ideas. Although without these plans, minh-le believed that "War of the Worlds" would still be the best game, but

It makes people full of regret.

Lin Feng also pondered for a while. In terms of funds, Lin Feng believed that he was still able to solve the problem. At most, he could just inject money again. But if the player's computer does not support it, Lin Feng would not be able to do it. Lin Feng could not give everyone a chance to play "

Players of "War of the Worlds" should equip themselves with a computer that can support "War of the Worlds". That would undoubtedly be even crazier, not to mention that it is absolutely impossible to implement.

"Tuk, duh, duh" Lin Feng kept tapping the table with his fingers. The conference room was quiet, and everyone was waiting for Lin Feng's final decision.

Lin Feng searched for the future development direction of computers in his mind. I am afraid that such a game requires at least "dual core" to run, and the graphics card is at least ati4850 or gt9800 or above, which will take at least 5-7 years. Wait 5-7 years before launching "World"

"War", Lin Feng felt that it was too long ago. Moreover, it was a frustrating thing to have an excellent idea and plan but not be able to implement it.

Wait! - Lin Feng suddenly thought that today's computer hardware manufacturers, such as "Intel", actually do not have more advanced technology, but only postponed the release of new hardware out of profit considerations. Think about "back then", if

Unless AMD competes with it, I’m afraid the current “Pentium 4” CPUs don’t even know when they will be released on the market.

In my memory, AMD’s real rise was based on “64bit” processors and it began to become a company that could threaten “Intel”. However, in the past few years, “AMD” had taken many detours and even wrong paths. If you yourself

The development direction of "CPU" in the next few years can be disclosed to "AMD", so that "AMD" can avoid some detours, and can pull "Intel" out of the world in advance and trigger fierce CPU competition in advance.

"Intel" must face the challenge. I am afraid that the "dual-core" era may come early.

Lin Feng remembered what "Intel" said - the market determines sales volume, sales volume determines price, price determines profit, and profit determines technological updates.

When a product is profitable, there will be no newer technologies. Only when profits are weak, manufacturers will continue to develop new technologies to seize new markets. This is a cycle!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng had an idea!

"I~~~" Lin Feng opened his mouth and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Technically, I think there is no problem. The development of computers is always changing with each passing day. I believe that after the development of "War of the Worlds", the computer configuration at that time will definitely be able to meet the needs. And this time we are working with Blizzard to develop new engine technology. I believe

The optimization aspect will definitely be greatly enhanced, which can greatly reduce the game's demanding computer configuration requirements," Lin Feng said firmly.

Everyone was slightly stunned. However, the development of computer hardware is indeed beyond people's imagination. No one knows what the future will be like.

"Director Lin..." The conservative Wu Zhaopu still wanted to dissuade him.

"Okay, minh, I'll do as you say. However, when entrusting other companies to produce three-dimensional holographic maps, I want the full copyright of the three-dimensional holographic maps. This will be handled by Mr. Wu, who will be responsible for contacting the relevant companies.

and negotiate." Lin Feng said.

Seeing that Lin Feng had agreed, Wu Zhaopu had no choice but to accept it. Although he still had many worries about this plan, he hoped that Lin Feng's decision was right.

"Also, Mr. Wu, you can negotiate with the governments of various countries first. There will definitely be maps of cities in the Yellow Pages of various governments. We can inherit the era of astronomy network. In the future, countries and cities will definitely produce three-dimensional holographic maps.

It satisfies the inquiries of people from other cities who come to travel. This is a business opportunity. Since it has to be done sooner or later, it is better to do it in our own company first.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if the funding problem could be solved. As for the technical problems, even if players can't play, the worst case scenario would be a delay of a few years at most.

The happiest person was naturally Minh, but after solving this problem, he had another idea in his mind.

"Boss, I propose to increase the flexibility of the game characters in "World War"," Minh said.

Everyone was stunned again.

"The "World War" we are developing now is modeled after "Counter-Strike", but in the game "World War", I think that jumping and squatting alone cannot meet the needs of players, and there must be more

Actions: such as climbing, crawling, lying down, etc. But this is a brand new action system, and my development team is not good at it. I like it, boss, if you can acquire a similar company and join us to help us develop "World War"

.And there are still too few members in the development department and the progress is too slow." Minh said expectantly.

The heads of several major game development departments were pleasantly surprised. This was a good idea and could further increase the fun of the game.

"But will this make the game operation too difficult?" Lin Feng asked doubtfully.

"We can simplify it and not make it as complicated as an action game. We can just enrich some necessary body movements that can be used on the battlefield." Minh said.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Uh, minh, I want to ask, if you add these, how much do you estimate the game development cost will be?" Wu Zhaopu asked helplessly.

"Well, this, this, I'm afraid the budget will have to increase by about 10%." Minh said with a little shame.

Everyone was shocked.

"Okay, let's put it this way, we have already made 1 billion anyway, and we don't care about the extra 100 million. But in this case, we must pursue perfection and make "World War" the most successful game in history. If it fails, minh

, we will throw you into the Pacific Ocean and let you swim back to the United States by yourself." Lin Feng joked.

"Definitely!" minh nodded seriously.

"How is the current operating status of "Counter-Strike Online"?" Lin Feng asked again.

"At present, the highest number of online users has exceeded 4 million, and the average number of online users is 1.2 million. In addition, companies in several other Asian countries, such as India, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand and other countries, have also sent us letters of consultation to join." Wu Zhaopu said.

"Well, as long as the other party's conditions permit, let them join. The more countries that join, the more popular this game will be." Lin Feng nodded.

Everyone thinks so too. The rankings of only the four regions of China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are popular now, but over time, everyone will get tired of it. The more countries there are, the more intense the competition will be.

"Director Lin, we have developed a new expansion pack for "Counter-Strike Online" and have been able to upgrade the game." Minh said confidently.
