Reflecta, which was gaining momentum, also experienced a very funny black swan event.
That is, Reflecta
Zodiac
1 Escort masterpieces put together, no other tested game is more popular...
wrong.
To be more precise, this should be called the gray rhinoceros incident. After all, Zhang Jianghu had already been mentally prepared for this incident.
But even if they were mentally prepared, Reflecta and Zhang Jianghu still found it difficult to accept when the facts were revealed...
Because this situation... is really serious.
Lin Yao's previous life.
Although switch is often ridiculed as the launcher of Breath of the Wild.
But to a certain extent, this is also a compliment.
The significance of the Escort masterpiece is not just as simple as telling players that this game can be played on my console.
This is also an important medium for console manufacturers to show players the performance of the console or the characteristics of the console itself for the first time.
First impressions are important.
The graphics are stunning and the game is unique. The Escort masterpiece leaves a good first impression on players, so players will want to know about the console that can play this game.
This is really important for new consoles.
The same is true for Reflecta's host.
Because the future expectations of the Reflecta console are actually unclear to many console players.
Unlike the other two console manufacturers, they have no previous accumulation. Although Reflecta has prepared a lot for the future, if the Escort masterpiece is really too popular, it will seriously affect the confidence of players and third-party manufacturers.
The other two console manufacturers do not have this problem, because they have been operating for a long time, and their first-party studios have enough IPs. In the foreseeable future, the expected game lineup will be very good. After all, these IPs are backed by previous games.
Regardless of whether it is a large-scale game, a medium-sized game, or a small-sized game, whether it is a European, American or Japanese game, they all have a large fixed audience.
Best of all, they've gotten past the console dilemma.
Linmu Studio has also promised that "The Witch" will be available on all console platforms, so what is there to be afraid of?
If the heat is snatched away, just take it away.
It will be fine to operate it slowly from now on.
But what does Reflecta have?
Nothing at all.
There is no accumulation, no fixed players, everything has to start from scratch.
Topics drive sales and are one of the most effective ways of publicity.
But now the topic is all about "The Witch"... No matter whether it is domestic or overseas, compared with it, their escort masterpiece really has no sound at all.
No sound, no discussion, no enthusiasm.
Sales have been significantly affected.
IfReflecta
Zodiac
1 The sales volume of the escort masterpiece is really huge...
Pulled to a point...
Zhang Jianghu couldn't even imagine the consequences.
"...How about it? Tell me how you feel."
Zhang Jianghu looked at the man standing in front of the desk with an ugly expression.
The man looked to be around thirty, not very old, but very mature, with a standard Chinese character face.
His name is Hou Liguo, and he is a senior marketing strategy specialist in the domestic branch of Reflecta.
It sounds very high-end.
But in fact, it is common marketing for domestic game companies.
The main responsibilities are to maintain players, pay attention to competitive product trends, monitor market dynamics, collect market data, conduct analysis, and make market suggestions.
certainly.
There is also promotion.
And this time Zhang Jianghu asked about "The Witch", of course.
In the current stand-alone game market, it is the most popular.
"very good."
Hou Liguo nodded slightly and replied: "Although the Vaporwave game platform no longer displays detailed pre-sale data after the revision, combined with "The Witch" reaching the top of the best-selling list on the Vaporwave game platform, as well as major forums at home and abroad
From the players' reactions, it is easy to draw a conclusion that their game's pre-sale sales are very good, very good...
They don’t have physical channels. It’s really scary to have such influence just by relying on a Vaporwave game platform.”
Zhang Jianghu: "..."
He has a deep understanding of the influence Hou Liguo said.
Because both domestic players and overseas players are urging for the official version after playing the game.
The country is urging for the official version, and overseas is also urging for the official version...
"Even if we put aside market data and just talk about games, their games are much better than our Escort masterpiece, much better."
Hou Liguo continued: "I was also one of the first players to enter the test, and I also passed the first chapter. To be honest, it was really interesting. Originally, I thought that the combination of superpowers and cold weapons would be neither fish nor fowl, just to enrich the content.
And forcibly add embarrassing gameplay that is divorced from the main body of the game.
But when I actually played it, I realized that there was no such thing. Their gameplay was all based on the theme of the game. Even a handicapped person like me could still enjoy the fun. After the final boss was defeated, I couldn’t help but feel excited.
I want to play the official version as soon as possible... because it's really fun.
In addition, the background settings such as steampunk and witches are very amazing.”
"..."
Zhang Jianghu was silent for a moment and sighed.
really.
He also played games... although he didn't have the feelings Hou Liguo said, after all, he didn't like playing games very much.
but.
When he first saw it, he still felt...
This special game from Linmu Studio is indeed better than Reflecta
Zodiac
Those escort masterpieces of 1 are more suitable as escort masterpieces.
This is not a sick sentence, this is his true thought.
Reflecta is too conservative.
I shouldn’t have focused on this three-acre land of guns, cars, and football...
But having said that, who would have thought that their home console would encounter a game like "The Witch"? Who can guarantee that other types of games can be as good as Linmu Studio's "The Witch"?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is there a solution?"
Zhang Jianghu sighed secretly, braced himself, and asked.
“‘The Witch’ Lands on Reflecta
Zodiac
1, but it is faster than the other two, and it is best to log in exclusively."
Hou Liguo blurted out directly: "Or, let Linmu Studio produce an exclusive game for us. This game does not need to be made quickly. It only needs to be negotiated in the early stage and announced as soon as possible. With the influence of "The Witch", players and
Third-party manufacturers should regain confidence in our consoles."
"..."
Zhang Jianghu was silent for a while and asked: "Is there any other choice?"
Hou Liguo hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes, there is, but to be honest, the risk is too great and the results are too slow. Let the first-party studio we acquired come up with a game that can suppress "The Witch" just by proposing a concept.
...Boss, how likely is this to you?"
Zhang Jianghu: "..."
zero.
But in the end, he didn't have time to tell the number.
Because the call came.
The president of Reflecta headquarters called.
The headquarters asked him to think of a solution.
What he said was the same as Hou Liguo's, and he wanted to take care of Lin Mu Studio.
They are already anxious.
After Zhang Jianghu dealt with the other party, he hung up the phone, threw down the phone, and rubbed his eyebrows.
Of course he knew that everything would go smoothly after fixing Lin Mu Studio.
But how is he going to do it?
Let me give you a way.
"..."
Zhang Jianghu rubbed his eyebrows and had a splitting headache.
Then suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
if……
If I hadn't said at that time that the performance of Linmu Studio's console was weak, it was obviously a handheld console, and I would have insisted on cooperating with them to develop the console.
Will you... feel better now?
Reflecta’s new console, without Linmu Studio, seems really different.
