After all, she is not a god... She really can't guess such things in the future.
"But according to my judgment, the reason why our "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" can be released for the first time this time is because the entire promotional video does not have many eye-catching gameplay, only the cuteness of Pokémon.
A little bit can still lead to success.
Partly because of the hardware, although the switch is not that expensive compared to other consoles, in the final analysis it is an electronic product costing 2,000 yuan. Most of the people who own consoles now are deep players, and on our console platform,
Although the current game lineup is good, it is still not rich enough and they don’t have many choices.
In addition, we are now in the early stages of console launch and we have spent so much effort to announce and release the game. Players' desire to try it is very strong.
Another part of the reason is that the reputation we have built up in the past few years and the success of the previous escort games... this trust makes players willing to believe in us.
As for the last reason, it’s the quality of the Pokémon games themselves.”
Lin Yao shook her ponytail lightly and explained: "To put it simply, it is the hardware cost, the reputation of the producer, and the quality of the game itself is good enough. But if it is a PC...the hardware cost is not there, and players have more choices.
, the producer is not us, so the effect may be greatly reduced.
This is my opinion. Of course, I am not narcissistic..."
In fact, Lin Yao did not choose to release "Pokémon Legends: Arceus" immediately because of this.
If it is released with a console, a Pokémon game that is not distinctive and eye-catching enough will be very inconspicuous among a bunch of games that can attract attention instantly after releasing a promotional video.
The characteristics of "The Legend of Zelda", "Splatoon", "Mario Kart" and even "1-2 Switch" are too distinct.
yyxs
If Lin Yao were a player.
Without any bonuses, when she saw the lineup, she was more likely to choose "1-2 Switch", whose promotion significance was greater than its significance in making money, rather than the Pokémon game...
But when it goes on sale the second time, it’s different.
The previous Escort masterpiece was a great success, and players who have played it all said it was good.
Now that I have bought the console, I have finished playing the Escort masterpiece.
Linmu Studio has announced the release of a new game. Although this game does not seem to be as eye-catching as the previous Escort masterpiece, you can’t be disappointed when buying a console, right? And the producer is Linmu Studio. Pokémon
It’s also very cute. Why don’t you give it a try?
Then the players tried it and found that "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" was more fun than expected...
Everything became a matter of course.
This is Lin Yao's little idea.
certainly.
To some extent.
She is also thinking about it in hindsight. Although she thought so at the beginning, the specifics of whether it can be successful are actually between two opinions...
"I see……"
After listening to Lin Yao's words, Mu Wanqing nodded slowly.
It seems that this is indeed the case.
The console is one thing, but if it is ported to the PC platform, it is another matter.
Unless domestic peers also want to be hosts.
But as a console, Mu Wanqing, as someone who has followed the whole process from the establishment of a console to its release, knows very well that it is really not easy to do...
Linmu Studio is worried about the console... because the process of contacting third parties is not smooth. There is no big third party willing to produce exclusive games for Linmu Studio's console, and they are not willing to log on to all platforms.
Because compared to traditional hosts, the performance is too poor.
Lin Mu Studio can only rely on the first party for support.
But the first party... Without Lin Yao, Mu Wanqing couldn't even imagine what would happen to the host.
It is estimated that players will be short of games all year round... how could the current situation be possible.
Besides, even if other domestic counterparts can solve the above problems, they don't have the reputation of Linmu Studio.
The current reputation of Linmu Studio cannot be achieved overnight.
Unless, there can be one more Lin Yao.
Mu Wanqing thought of this, looked at the girl sitting on the chair, holding a mobile phone, and smiled gently.
"What?"
Lin Yao read a message and just put down her phone when she saw a smile on Mu Wan's fair face, feeling a little curious.
"I think you are very powerful." Mu Wanqing whispered.
"...Of course!" Lin Yao heard Mu Wanqing's praise and immediately stopped feeling sleepy. She put down her phone, then puffed up her chest proudly and joked.
"..."
Seeing the girl's appearance, Mu Wanqing felt that her powerful mood disappeared instantly. She reached out her hand and gently stroked her towering pride, then couldn't help laughing and said with a pun: "Okay, I know you are powerful..."
"...I'll fight with you! Mu Wanqing!"
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, looked down at her chest, her hair suddenly exploded, she stood up from the chair with a shudder, gently pinched Mu Wanqing's neck, and shook her hard: "You did it on purpose! You absolutely
It’s intentional! You’re laughing at me, right? I’ve been feeling my shoulders getting more and more sore during this period, and I don’t know what to do, but you still laugh at me!… No, come here!”
The more Lin Yao talked, the angrier she became, and finally she dragged Mu Wanqing directly to the empty conference room.
Mu Wanqing: "...?"
Today's Linmu Studio...is still very lively.
…
May 2nd.
The sales volume of "Pokémon Legends: Arceus" has officially exceeded 2.5 million units! As a new IP, a new IP that does not seem to be eye-catching in terms of actual gameplay, it finally achieved sales of more than 2 million units.
And during this period, sales have still maintained a very good growth, with no intention of falling back.
It's really quite a miracle.
Of course, this is normal for outsiders and Lin Yao.
If the Pokémon game only has feelings and no fun, it will not become the most profitable IP...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact.
Many players here have become Pokémon fans.
Other players have begun to summarize the attributes, attribute restraints, and evolutionary forms of all Pokémon in "Pokémon Legend: Arceus."
And the more you summarize it, the more surprised the players will be.
real.
They didn't expect that under the cute appearance of Pokémon, there are such complex and interesting mechanisms!
Linmu Studio didn't just create a few cute Pokémon.
Instead, we created an entire ecosystem!
Really awesome!
Nowadays, many players who have become fans and are willing to study the game are even thinking about it... If Pokémon can fight with people, instead of fighting Pokémon now... it will be more interesting with the game's mechanism!
Yes.
Players have already begun to predict the content of the Pokémon sequel...
Lin Yao was very happy when she saw such a post.
This is no longer a matter of taking the first step.
Players have begun to spontaneously look forward to the most traditional Budokan plot in the Pokémon series, which means that Linmu Studio can allow players to experience the most orthodox and original Pokémon game...
but.
It's not urgent now...
In the first half of the year, Linmu Studio released more than just "Pokémon".
In fact, there are certain rules for the release of console games.
Linmu Studio's intensive release of multiple first-party masterpieces in a short period of time is considered very fast.
no way.
In order to get more users and chips in the upcoming mobile Internet era.
There will definitely be some cost to pay.
Next, next month, Linmu Studio will have another game called "ARMS"...
this day.
After Lin Yao read the post and was busy with the production of "Dark Soul" for a long time, she turned around and ran to the console product department on the 14th floor.
A separate promotional video for "ARMS" was released, but Zhu Nianqiao proposed to make one more actual in-game introduction video about somatosensory gameplay, and specially called Lin Yao, asking her to participate.
"That's about it. Senior sister, I want to make a video of actual combat to fully introduce players to the somatosensory gameplay of ARMS, a fighting game. The protagonists are you and me... How about it?"
As soon as Zhu Nianqiao saw Lin Yao, he immediately came up to her, explained to her, and carefully asked for her opinion.
"So you're embarrassing me?" Lin Yao glared at her gently.
"It's not about showing off, it's about showing off your charm."
Zhu Nianqiao said confidently: "The internal staff of Linmu Studio, a boss, and the head of the console game department will personally demonstrate the gameplay. Whether it is to attract attention or demonstrate the gameplay, the effect will be very good!"
"..."
Lin Yao fell silent after hearing this.
She had to admit it.
Zhu Nianqiao is right.
Because "ARMS" is not like "Pokémon", this game is actually a fighting game, but the most important selling point is the physical sense.
When it comes to fighting games, Linmu Studio's "ARMS" has very little advantage.
Not only was Lin Yao's advantage small in his previous life, but his advantage in this world is also small.
After all, fighting games are a very old game type.
"ARMS" focuses on creativity and differentiation.
And if this game is promoted in person... the effect will be very good indeed.
"That's it, right?"
Zhu Nianqiao saw that Lin Yao was silent, then cautiously approached him and asked.
"...Yeah, but it's too monotonous for two people."
Lin Yao thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Let's do this. You can also call Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua, so that both male and female players can be taken care of.
I’ll probably change the process, first introduce the operation, and then insert the game screen and real screen of the battle, um, that’s it.”
"...That's no problem."
Zhu Nianqiao did not object when he heard this, but after thinking for a moment, he asked: "But will Qi Jianhua agree?"
"How good is this game? Even if you can't move and catch people, can you still throw a punch?"
Lin Yao said with a smile: "Besides, the previous legend about him only had one name, and his appearance was not revealed, so what are you afraid of? If it doesn't work, just find a way to convince him!"
"That makes sense...okay!"
Zhu Nianqiao thought about it carefully and felt it made sense, so she turned around and ran away full of energy.
Just do it.
Not a trace of sloppiness.
"..."
Lin Yao looked at Zhu Nianqiao who was rushing to call someone and smiled helplessly.
It's really energetic... She wanted to borrow some of it.
…
"Pokémon Legends: Arceus" just achieved success.
After a short period of joy.
Linmu Studio then turned around and devoted itself to the promotion and release of the next game.
May 3rd.
Zhu Nianqiao persuaded Qi Jianhua and Zhong Xiu, and then together with Lin Yao, they followed the staff to a professional photography studio.
In fact, it is not difficult to record actual game play videos.
It would be better to say that editing is a bit more time-consuming.
but.
The recording of this actual gameplay video was a bit beyond Lin Yao’s expectations.
That was Qi Jianhua's dish, which was beyond her expectation...
He is really a very special kind of person...who has food engraved into his DNA...
If he plays a physical game of punching, you can believe it if he throws him down...that's outrageous!
but.
Although there were some bumps in the process, the overall progress was very fast.
And all four of them had a great time... Mainly Zhu Nianqiao, Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua had a great time.
Lin Yao was fine.
Mainly because her partner Zhu Nianqiao is too lively...
Too lively...
The game starts.
She looked like she was going to beat her old master to death with random punches, and typed out at the screen.
Lin Yao was really afraid that she would turn around and punch him or the screen in excitement...
And her bastard boxing has no rules at all.
As someone who had played the game "ARMS" in her previous life, Lin Yao could easily dodge attacks without much movement...
"Take it easy, this is a game, don't look like you want to break the screen..."
Another game started.
Zhu Nianqiao still looks the same.
Lin Yao finally couldn't help it anymore and reminded her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Eh?"
Zhu Nianqiao heard Lin Yao's voice, stopped his bastard punch, looked at Lin Yao with slightly messy hair, and then said: "Aura, senior sister! When playing this kind of game, doesn't it depend on aura? Rely on aura.
Scare your opponent and win in the end! What kind of momentum can there be with a weak move like that of my senior sister?"
"So you won?"
Lin Yao issued a soul question.
"Uh..." Zhu Nianqiao said for a moment.
Lin Yao shook her head helplessly, then put down the handle in her palm and reached out to tuck the hair stuck to her face behind her ears.
"..."
Zhu Nianqiao was stunned for a moment, and then, fearless as she was, she felt a little embarrassed for the first time: "Senior sister, you are so mature now. You are obviously more girlish than women of my age..."
"Um?"
"Chance!"
Lin Yao just uttered a confused and rising tone of ‘hmm’.
Zhu Nianqiao suddenly shouted, turned around, and punched the character in Lin Yao's game.
Lin Yao couldn't avoid it because she put down the controller.
Directly OK!
"Yes! I won! I finally won! Senior!"
See tips for victory.
Zhu Nianqiao immediately raised his hands, turned around, took two steps forward, and hugged Lin Yao.
Very excited.
Lin Yao was silent for a moment: "...This game doesn't count!"
"Hey...I just praised my senior sister for her maturity..."
"Anyway, the one just now doesn't count!"
"..."
Although it was said to be a promotional video.
But in the end, the four of them played all afternoon...
But at least, the final material was recorded.
Next, let’s wait for the popularity of “Pokémon Legends: Arceus” to subside and be officially released.
As for whether it will affect the sales of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus", Lin Yao is not worried about this.
Players will not play just one game.
May 10th.
After the sales of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" exceeded 3 million copies, the sales growth momentum stopped and the curve stabilized.
Because of the installed capacity.
If you want to sell more games in the future, you can only slowly grind it out and wait for the installed base of consoles to increase.
This can't be rushed.
And players have a thorough understanding of the gameplay and selling points of Pokémon games.
Most players have completed the game and even started the second playthrough.
And at this point in time.
Linmu Studio has begun the large-scale promotion and distribution of "ARMS"...
In addition to the regular promotional videos, there is also a promotional video of the actual machine.
Promotional videos of actual machines are not uncommon.
But the title of the promotional video for the actual machine is ‘Linmu Studio Senior Showdown’...
Having said this, players will no longer be sleepy.
Linmu Studio, a game company, is actually quite mysterious to many players.
Their production process and the internal situation of their company are becoming more and more attractive as Linmu Studio's popularity gradually increases, but there is very little relevant public information.
So many players are very curious.
This is normal.
After all, in Lin Yao's previous life, many players were interested in game companies.
Gossip is human nature.
Moreover, Linmu Studio has joined forces to promote games. The most recent one was the announcement of a MOBA game.
The effect is really good.
So as soon as the actual video was released, a large number of players couldn't wait to click in.
The actual machine video can be regarded as a supplement to the promotional video.
The purpose is to introduce more specific gameplay of the game.
But the entire video and editing are still very cool.
Iconic logo, handle slides, and clicks.
Accompanied by dynamic music.
The battle screens flashed one by one.
The player's first impression is that it's gorgeous... gorgeous in the same vein!
Linmu Studio has really changed a lot! Whether it is the previous Escort masterpiece or the current Pokémon and "ARMS", they all use a lot of high-contrast colors, which look very dreamy and cute.
The second feeling of the player is... the game must be very interesting.
This is the conclusion that players came to after playing the previous Escort masterpiece and "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".
And the promotional video did not disappoint them.
After the game screen.
Then the teaching started.
【Fight with extended arms!】
【The new combat sports game kicks off!】
[The name is - "ARMS"]
A huge game name appeared in the center of the screen.
then.
A pair of hands holding joy- appeared on the screen.
【As long as we hold joy- in our hands, the fighters in the game will fight according to the movement of our hands.】
[Arms forward, it’s a punch!]
Split screen.
The game screen appears.
The fighter's arm in the game was like a yellow bullet. As the real player on the right swung his right fist, he swung his right fist, and with a banging sound, he hit his opponent.
【If you turn your hand sideways, the ARM will bend!】
On the right side of the screen, the real player swings his right fist sideways. In the game, the fighter's arm flies out and hits a beautiful right hook.
[Tilt joy with both hands - it’s movement]
【jump】
【Sprint】
[Mix moves and use quick footwork]
[Stretch out both hands, grab the enemy and attack]
[Put your hands in a figure eight to defend against the opponent's attack]
【……】
Just like teaching.
In the first half of the video, the specific gameplay of the game is chewed up and fed to the players.
Then the second half of the video.
In the specific battle mechanism.
Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua appeared.
The two of them stood in front of the screen in a boxing pose, shaking left and right while punching.
The fighters in the game move around in the fighting arena as the two perform various operations.
Looks very cool! Very fun!
[After the sure-kill gauge is full]
[Keep attacking and use the sure blow!]
The live video continues.
The narrator explains the sure-kill mechanism.
The screen was also given to Zhu Nianqiao and Lin Yao who recorded the relevant material.
The two of them were also standing in front of the screen.
Just a moment of silence and movement.
Zhu Nianqiao is petite and sweet-looking. She is a very cute girl.
But in the video.
She fully explained what it means to be as quiet as a virgin and as active as a rabbit...
What is a big move!
The speed of punching makes people really want to add the sound effect of Ola Ola to her...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She stood in front of the screen and waved her fists wildly. Lin Yao controlled the game character to dodge her attacks while carefully dodging to the side in reality.
The assistant student was afraid that Zhu Nianqiao would beat her too...
in front of the screen.
When the players saw this scene, they were stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Who is this guy... so entertaining.
And take the next.
The picture starts to look more and more outrageous...
[Rely on your intuition and use colorful attacks to defeat your opponents!]
The narrator's voice sounded again.
The game screen and the real screen appear together.
This time it's Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua.
"Super sure kill!"
Qi Jianhua, who was next to Zhong Xiu, suddenly shouted. Although there was no sound, many players still understood the meaning through lip reading.
But as soon as he shouted the super kill, he stumbled in reality and bumped directly into Zhong Xiu...
Zhong Xiu's figure turned sideways, he didn't hold the handle, and his character stopped immediately.
Qi Jianhua took the opportunity to deal with the character in Zhong Xiu's game...
"A super sure kill in reality, right!? Hahahaha..."
Live comments below the video.
The players almost went crazy laughing.
The whole live video actually introduces the gameplay in detail, but it is really complicated later on. Various situations, super sure-kills, etc. interfere with the opponent, and even Lin Yao is afraid of punching...
But it's fun.
It’s really fun! It feels like watching bad friends fight against each other.
soon.
That's it for the promotional video.
This very different promotional video and a live demonstration video full of joy instantly became the focus of discussion in the player community.
【Hahahaha! The senior managers of Linmu Studio are so cute.】
[The battle between Lin Yao and that girl made me laugh to death...Lin Yao looked like she was afraid that the other party would hit her, she looked really scared.]
[Those two men are also easy to deal with. By the way, the one who said super will kill and then almost fell to the ground was not Qi Jianhua, right? 】
[I have to say that Lin Yao really understands players... I talked with a friend and decided to buy it. 】
[I don’t have any friends, but it looks so fun! I feel like I can still exercise, so I bought it! Anyway, I can play online!]
[Linmu Studio! Make more promotional videos like this! Especially the scenes of my wife Lin Yao, please give me more!]
[Don’t look at the girl next to Lin Yao as if she is possessed...she is the actual person in charge of the console game department...]
[Holy shit, is this true or not? Judging by her appearance, is it really just the production staff that likes the game more than us? 】
[This is so creative! I feel so happy to get a switch, and I can play games continuously...]
【……】
The response to the promotional video was overwhelming.
Inside Lin Mu Studio, of course I am happy to see this situation.
Except for Qi Jianhua, who was a little concerned when someone mentioned his name... the others were quite calm about being teased by players.
It's a good thing to mingle with players.
And thanks to the game’s excellent creativity and publicity campaign.
On May 24th, "ARMS" was officially released.
Also within a day.
Sales exceeded one million!
This is the second game released by Linmu Studio with sales exceeding one million in one day, in addition to the Escort masterpiece.
Those who feel that the performance of Linmu Studio's host is too poor and will not survive without a third party, really have nothing to say.
It seems like Linmu Studio... can really support a console by itself.
On the night of the release of "ARMS", in addition to the topic of the game itself.
There is also a post that has been discussed by many players.
And the title of that post is - [I had a lot of fun playing two consecutive works in two months. I dare not think about how much Lin Yao can bring to us as the finale of "Dark Soul"
