480 The prototype of the continuous operation game
This high-quality game trailer was very popular and quickly won the hearts of every player present.
But it seems that there are some difficulties in satisfying the appetite of players.
Could it be that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment made a mistake in the trailer arrangement?
Or maybe... they have a bigger ultimate move hidden?
Myron Keys doesn't know much about games, but that doesn't stop him from knowing some well-known game series.
When Final Fantasy was launched, there were countless young people in their company who took leave of absence and did not come to work because of it, and there was nothing he could do about it.
This is enough to show how popular this game is.
The boy next to him was also very excited at this moment. He was completely attracted by the new Final Fantasy adventure story.
The trailer obviously didn't say anything, just a few game action scenes.
"Is this a great game?"
Myron Keys asked.
The young man nodded vigorously: "Of course, this is the best game!"
"Huh? I thought the best game in your mind was Pokémon."
"Pokémon is of course the best, these two are the best."
"Shouldn't there be only one best?"
"Who said that? There are many best ones here. There is no choice at all. All the games are super fun!"
It was obvious that the young man was completely immersed in it and accepted the game without reservation.
Final Fantasy VIII is the beginning, which also fully arouses the players' emotions.
After the trailer ended, the players in the audience jumped for joy, and Zhu Youxing also stood on the stage with a smile.
"How's it going? Are you guys looking forward to it?"
“Of course I’m looking forward to it!”
"Very good. This is actually just an appetizer. I believe that when this game is actually released, it will satisfy all picky players. Next, there will be previews of other games."
This time, Zhuyouxing adhered to Youxing Electronic Entertainment's consistent rhythm of game announcements and released videos frantically right from the start, with various game trailers slapped directly on their faces.
After the Final Fantasy broadcast, there is new content provided about StarCraft.
"StarCraft? Oh, I remembered, this is a game launched by Youxing Electronic Entertainment on the computer."
Ueto Hayakawa, who was watching the live broadcast at this moment, suddenly remembered this game.
However, this game really doesn’t have much to do with him.
This game is released on computers and is not logged in on any console platform, which means that this game will only have a PC audience.
The competition between Suri Electronics and Youxing Electronic Entertainment is based on the console platform. Even if Youxing Electronic Entertainment sells hot games on the PC platform, it will not affect the competition on the console side.
In fact, Hayakawa Ueto doesn't quite understand the operation of Takeyusei. It is clear that launching games on his own platform will further consolidate his position, but he has to launch some games on computers. Isn't he afraid that computers will turn against customers and dominate the console market?
Annexation?
"President, I think this game should not pose any threat. It is probably just a transitional promotion in the middle of Final Fantasy 8."
A manager under Hayakawa Uehito said very confidently.
Hayakawa Ueto shook his head: "You are half right. This game does not pose a big threat to us, but this is not the middle transition of the Final Fantasy 8 trailer. Do you know how many users StarCraft has?"
"Ang? How many are there?"
The manager was a little confused.
He really doesn’t know much about computer products.
Surui Electronics did not focus on this field before, so they did not do any research.
But as the president, Uehito Hayakawa naturally has a broader vision than his subordinates.
"StarCraft has been recorded to have at least tens of millions of users, and the number is still increasing. Do you know what it is?"
The manager said uncertainly: "This means that personal computers also have a certain gaming market?"
"It's obvious, I mean less obvious."
The manager thought about it seriously and finally shook his head helplessly: "I don't know."
"It is a stable user base improvement. The sales volume of an ordinary video game will usually slowly decrease over time. Generally, the popularity of a game that has been sold for more than half a year has completely passed, and the number of players willing to buy will decrease a lot. By that time, the sales volume
It’s basically confirmed.”
Hayakawa Ueto's men nodded. He knew this very well. Their game was like this, and the decline was even faster.
Generally speaking, Surui Electronics' game sales last about two or three months before plummeting, and then the game's ability to attract money is basically gone.
The subsequent value of this game will basically be on the second-hand market.
Surui Electronics has almost no business in the second-hand market, which is an exchange of interests between players and some second-hand stores.
Many executives of Surui Electronics are very troubled by this.
Thinking that these second-hand products have cost them a lot of money, many senior executives are putting pressure on Hayakawa Ueto to solve the second-hand problem. If possible, it is best to plug a game into the game console and bind it to the game console.
So that more players have to spend more money.
But in the end it was Ue Hayakawa who overcame all the objections.
He is a good learner.
And the object of his study was Zhu Youxing.
If there is a game that has the most prosperous second-hand market, it is definitely a game from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
However, so far, Zhuyouxing has not responded to the second-hand market. It has even vaguely supported and encouraged the second-hand market. Zhuyouxing will actively put some of the recycled old cassettes into the secondary market and sell them at cheaper prices.
In the past, Zhuyouxing in the American market relied on this trick to defeat those crazy copycats, and even their mothers didn’t recognize them.
Compared with the quality and scale of games, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has never been afraid of anyone.
Even though there are countless pirated and plagiarized games, they cannot withstand the large-scale attack of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, a regular army.
Since Takeyusei has never had an obvious response to the second-hand market, Ueto Hayakawa believes that he should not adjust the rules randomly until he has won the first place in the market.
At least I can still make a profit now. If I make changes, what should I do if something goes wrong?
Hayakawa is treading on thin ice in this regard.
Hayakawa Ueto continued to explain at this time: "The life cycle of a game is only about half a year, but so far I have found a few special cases."
Hayakawa Ueto raised a finger and said: "The first thing I found that can continue to bring stable cash flow is Brown Entertainment's Dragon Treasure. They moved the role play to the computer platform and relied on the stable network of the computer platform.
Connection continues to bring new game story content to players, and they will make money through time charging. So far, the annual profit of this game is estimated to be 50 to 60 million US dollars, and it is increasing every year.
Increase."
The manager was a little unable to sit still.
A stable profit of 50 to 60 million per year means that there will be stable sales of one million levels every day, which is indeed worth paying more attention to.
"And the second one." Hayakawa Ueto held out a second finger, "It's StarCraft. This game doesn't have time charges like the former one, but through the form of e-sports, players are very willing to pay for this game.
The growth rate of game consumption and users far exceeds that of Mystery Dragon Treasure.”
Hayakawa Ueto said frankly: "I think this is a new way for the two games to continue to make profits. Recently, I have been considering whether to launch similar games, but these two games are both built on the personal computer. I
I’m not sure if I can replicate the same results on the console platform, after all, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has never done this before.”
Yusei Electronic Entertainment is like a guiding light. If Yusei had not done anything, Hayakawa Ueto would not have dared to take risks easily.
Now he doesn't dare to venture into a new game field easily.
It is really not easy to own the current market.
He feels that he has not accumulated enough and needs to wait for the opportunity.
Hayakawa Ueto's managers have already understood: "So, President, this..."
Before the manager could ask any more questions, Ueto Hayakawa was already looking at the TV attentively.
Because the new trailer for StarCraft has ended.
This time StarCraft has announced a new expansion pack.
The title of expansion pack is very new.
This has almost never happened in previous game releases.
Some game companies have tried to introduce more content to their games, but most of them are developing sequels and have not thought much about adding more paid content based on the original games.
Because people who have tried this before were not very successful.
But at this moment, Zhuyouxing officially announced the launch of a new expansion pack for StarCraft.
If you want to experience the campaign content of this new expansion pack, you will need to pay extra.
Of course it will be much cheaper than the main game, and the content is not much less than the main game. It seems to be a really good deal.
Players who don’t pay extra are not without gain.
They can experience new units in the online battle mode, and do not have to worry about not being able to compete with other players in the new version of online battles because they have not bought the new expansion pack.
At this time, Hayakawa Ueto's heart beat violently several times.
Suddenly he seemed to be enlightened.
It seems that video games have a new way to make money.
Continue to launch more story content based on the original material of a game.
There is a very big advantage based on the original game, that is, all the game infrastructure does not need to be developed repeatedly, and 70 to 80% of the materials can be reused, which also allows the value of the game to be re-used.
Squeeze it.
However, with the style of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they definitely disdain to squeeze out a series in this way. The only reason Zhuyusing does this is probably because this story really has a lot to tell.
