The Electronic Entertainment Expo is not just a one-day event.
After the three major console manufacturers announce their new consoles, the major game companies will also hold press conferences and game shows.
Lin Yao followed the story on the first day, but didn't stay up late the next day. Instead, she watched the media reports on the next day.
And overall.
This exhibition can be called a battle between dragons and tigers.
The bonus of "Breakout" has been around for a year and is almost gone.
All major game manufacturers have also announced their own masterpieces, and both the graphics and gameplay are moving closer to "Breakout".
Of course, it’s not just masterpieces, there are also many independent games with very unique styles and gameplay.
It was also an eye-opener for Lin Yao.
but.
do not know why.
Probably because of his special temperament.
Although there are frequent masterpieces, many people still remember the "Journey" that was only unveiled for a short time at the console manufacturer's press conference on the first day.
On the second day, in addition to the new consoles launched by the three major console manufacturers, the discussion on games, "Journey" also occupied a place.
Whether overseas or domestic, many players are asking what type of game this game is, the graphics are so good, and which company made it.
And this question.
The answer is actually obvious.
Not to mention that the Blue Star Engine logo at the beginning of the game's promotional video is very conspicuous. Now, in addition to being released on the console platform, this game is also listed in the "coming soon" list of the Vaporwave game platform.
Many players quickly gave their answers.
Independent game, co-produced by Linmu Studio.
As soon as the answer came out and the players heard the name Linmu Studio, they suddenly understood.
Linmu Studio.
That's okay.
After Linmu Studio briefly fell from the altar, it seems to have returned to the altar due to the renewed popularity of new games...
The time has come to June 20th.
The three major consoles are on sale one after another.
But the situation is completely different.
Sales of Peria's new game console Peria New 1 approached half a million on its first day.
Ranked first.
And Bushnell didn't even sell 100,000 on the first day...
It's so miserable.
The prices of the machines of the three major console manufacturers are almost the same, and Bushnell did not resort to bundled sales and high prices. It failed so miserably. It can only be said that there is indeed a big problem in the game.
A lot of media are talking about it.
Bushnell may be finished.
Of course, they didn't say it so directly, they just said that the future is promising...
But who can’t see that Bushnell, the earliest game console company, has indeed run out of steam.
In Bushnell's president's office, President Adams looked at the sales data and reports, slumped in his chair, and sighed: "It's over, it's over..."
His subordinate George stood in front of the work desk, feeling a little unbearable: "BOSS, actually we haven't lost yet. We can acquire some first-party game studios and then rely on exclusivity to restore the decline..."
"You said it easily..."
"It's not easy to say that. You also know that the fighting period for the console is not now, but in the middle and late stages."
"..."
Adams did not reply, but looked at the computer screen, holding the mouse and watching the news over and over again, as if thinking.
Then look at it.
Suddenly, a piece of news popped up.
The news is quite simple. Their rival Peria may be trying to consolidate their advantages and at the same time give confidence to game developers who log in to their own console platforms.
In addition to console sales.
They also released the sales volume of the escort masterpiece on the first day.
Because it is a new console, the sales volume of basic escort games is consistent with the console game platform. After all, you can’t just buy a game console and just leave it alone, right?
As for backward compatibility.
The graphics of previous games are obviously lagging behind this new one.
And in the game sales data they released.
Although "Journey" is not a major escort game, it is just a third-party work that is also available on PC.
But because of its stunning appearance at the exhibition.
Still sold 200,000 copies...
It’s still the first day…
I saw the name of this game.
Adams was a little surprised. This game has sold a lot of sales, but why hadn't he heard of it?
It seems that the major manufacturers he has contacted don’t have such works, right?
Then go check it out.
This check doesn't matter.
It made him sit up in shock in his dying illness, suddenly raised his head, and looked at George:
"...What is this "Journey"? Linmu Studio? The exclusive game they made for Peria?"
He looked at George expectantly, hoping to hear the news that this was an exclusive game.
This way he can feel better.
By the way, I can also scold Linmu Studio.
"..."
But George remained silent, not daring to speak, not daring to hit his young boss any more.
"...Isn't this the new game that Linmu Studio said would be exclusive to our platform?"
Seeing that George didn't speak, Adams vaguely guessed something.
She looked at him reluctantly and continued to ask.
George had no choice but to say: "It is indeed the game that was said to be exclusive to our platform...the Greenlight Project from Linmu Studio's game platform..."
"..."
When Adams heard the exact answer, he immediately froze where he was as if he had been hit hard.
After a long time.
Then he murmured: "WTF..."
He felt like crying without tears.
no.
Why didn't anyone tell me that it was such a game?
You should have told me earlier. If you said you could sell 200,000 yuan on the first day, I would have done anything to get this game onto my own console platform.
It’s not so miserable now. Not only can’t the console be sold, but none of the games are getting attention...
…
What Adams said actually makes no sense.
The sales volume of the game is also related to the sales volume of the console. If Peria had not had a huge game lineup and attracted many players, "Journey" would not have been able to sell so many copies.
His regrets didn't make much sense.
If "Journey" is placed on their console platform, sales may not be that high on the first day.
"Journey" can be used as a topping and dessert, but as a masterpiece of escort, it is actually almost meaningless.
certainly.
Everyone knows the truth.
But for a boss who feels that the company has run out of steam...it's actually normal to blame others.
Moreover, "Journey" was able to sell so many copies on the first day. Although it has something to do with the platform, it is unfair to say that it has nothing to do with the game.
After knowing the specific sales volume.
that day.
Peria has raised the level of promotion for "Journey", which is already a very good result.
As the producer of "Journey", Cheng Yiran was even more happy when he learned the specific sales volume of the game.
He couldn't have imagined it.
Finally, my game can be sold on the console, and it can sell more than 200,000 yuan, and this is the first day!
He immediately called Lin Yao, sharing his joy and thanking Lin Yao.
Lin Yao was also very happy.
Half of them are happy that the other party's game has been sold.
The other half is...the signboard for the Greenlight Project of my own family has been erected.
