Hawkins on the other end of the phone was very angry.
There are factors that made Battlefield popular in it.
certainly.
There is also the reason why he lost face in front of his old rival Frank.
After all, not long ago he swore that the other party's game was a piece of shit...
"If the Shit you just mentioned refers to the other party's game, then we have nothing to say."
When Frank heard Hawkins' angry voice, his tone was quite calm, but he couldn't laugh: "But if you are just complaining, then let's talk about the actual demonstration of the other party's game."
"...How on earth did they do it?"
The shit Hawkins just mentioned was of course not referring to the game, so he took a deep breath and suppressed his displeasure: "You can actually destroy the scene map! What the hell is this!"
"Not only that."
Frank was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "I studied the promotional video carefully, and I feel that the details are better than their previous games, and the light and shadow effects are also better, which makes the whole game feel full of battlefield.
In addition, they were very smart and used a roundabout strategy. Both sides of the war in the game had a variety of automatic and semi-automatic weapons. They should have set the game in the last year of World War I."
Hawkins: "So what do you want to say?"
"If, as I guess, they set the game in the last year of World War I...then their game background will become some kind of magically modified World War I background, and the shortcomings will not be the same.
Players who are used to playing ordinary FPS will not be uncomfortable with it, because essentially, their games are exactly the same as ordinary FPS at the individual soldier level."
Frank's tone was a little heavy: "If you add the advantages I just mentioned, the freshness of the World War I theme...this time their game will surpass ours and eventually become a long-term work that can compete with our FPS."
Not sure. Maybe... they can also leverage the shooting game market during the European and American shopping seasons! Every year from now on, we may have one more strong opponent."
"impossible."
Hawkins immediately retorted: "Absolutely impossible, just one game, just one game, trying to leverage the market, how is it possible!"
Frank said calmly: "If their "Battlefield" is actually as good as their actual demonstration, then at the same time next year, they will promote the launch of a sequel to "Battlefield". Do you think the players will buy it?"
One sentence.
A direct kill.
Hawkins stopped talking.
“Every year during the shopping season, players don’t spend too much money to buy the same type of games. They can only buy two FPS games at most. However, players originally only had Dreamland and Gibber to choose from, but now they have an additional version of “Battlefield” from Linmu Studio.
, do you think it has stimulated the market?"
Frank continued: "And don't forget, they also have a "Tomb Raider". You haven't seen the new promotional video for this game, right? In my opinion, this game also has the potential... to become a long-term game.
potential."
"..."
"We don't have any solution for this. They have an online Vaporwave game platform. Even snipers don't know how to snipe."
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
Hawkins said a little irritably: "Complain to me and then hug each other to keep warm?"
"no."
Frank shook his head and said: "I want to tell you that those idiot executives at Reflecta that you call them may have really made the right bet this time."
"...FU*K!" Hawkins was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly.
If Reflecta really slows down and frees up his hands, Dreamland will be in trouble.
"Fortunately, they decided not to be a host..."
When Frank heard that his old rival had broken through the defense, his heavy heart finally eased a little: "Otherwise, they will definitely be able to compete with several major console manufacturers. We also have to consider their console platform. Fortunately, we gave up... Okay,
Stop scolding me and let’s talk about the Vaporwave platform.”
"There just happened to be a reason. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Since the Vaporwave game platform can do online distribution, why can't we? The two of us combined have a lot of IP and works, right? You also tried it at the beginning, but why
Want to cooperate with companies in the country where Lin Mu Studio is located? Don’t we have partners here?”
Hawkins stopped cursing and was stunned: "You mean...?"
Frank replied calmly: "It depends on what you think."
…
at the same time.
It's past nine o'clock in China.
As soon as Lin Yao arrived at the studio, she went to Zhong Xiu to ask about the effects of the new promotional videos for the two games.
This time, the time from announcement to release of Linmu Studio’s game is too short.
It almost went straight up.
Although Lin Yao is very confident in the quality of the game.
But as someone who has experienced it, Lin Yao also knows that for a game to sell well, it is not just about the quality of the game.
“How is the effect of the new promotional video?”
When Lin Yao came to Zhong Xiu's position.
Zhong Xiu leaned forward and was staring at the screen intently.
Lin Yao's voice suddenly sounded.
He was immediately startled, and when he turned around and saw Lin Yao, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you looking at so fascinated?"
Lin Yao was a little curious: "Let me ask you, how is the effect of your new promotional video?"
"I'm just looking at the effect of the promotional video."
Zhong Xiu smiled, then moved the screen over and showed it to Lin Yao.
That's the homepage of a gaming forum.
And on the entire forum homepage.
Almost two-thirds of the posts are related to Linmu Studio’s new games.
[Military shooting game of World War I! Real machine demonstration! 】
[The destructible map scenes are so cool, right? Can we also fight on land, sea and air? If the actual game is so powerful! I will definitely buy it!]
[I say that "Battlefield" is the FPS with the strongest sense of battlefield. No one objects, right? 】
[I'm so looking forward to "Tomb Raider"! The latest promotional video is so awesome, the heroine seems to have rushed to an island by accident, it looks like fun!]
[Linmu Studio’s new attempt, a female protagonist! Not only can she go to heaven and earth, but she can also explode people’s heads with a climbing axe. She’s so cool! Looking forward to it! 】
[As expected of Lin Yao, worthy of Linmu Studio, but having said that, the protagonist of Tomb Raider looks so strong in the promotional video, isn’t that Lin Yao’s ideal? After all, in reality she looks like she can punch a punch
She looked like she was crying for a long time.]
[It’s really awesome, but it feels a bit pity that Linmu Studio didn’t make its own console. If they made their own console and used these two games as escort masterpieces, they would have more names than Reflecta, and they would definitely sell well...
】
【Linmu Studio never disappoints!】
"How's it going? You can tell how the effect is just by looking at this, right?"
Zhong Xiu leaned back, leaned on the back of his chair, and said proudly: "Not to mention overseas, Reflecta spent a lot of money to promote it, and "Battlefield" is even more popular overseas."
"Um……"
Lin Yao nodded slowly, then pointed at the screen and suddenly said: "Block the player who said that punching me would make me cry for a long time..."
Zhong Xiu: "..."
"What?"
Lin Yao glared at her: "You also think that punching me will make me cry for a long time, right? Let me tell you..."
"Lin Yao."
Suddenly there was a soft cry behind her.
Lin Yao hummed and turned around subconsciously.
Then.
Boom.
She bumped into Mu Wanqing, who was walking over quickly...
"Well……"
The next second.
Lin Yao covered her nose with her hands and slowly squatted down, tears appearing in the corners of her eyes.
