Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1088 finally come
Chapter 1088 is finally here
It seems that this cartoon has great potential.
Originally, the game Cyberpunk 2077 was gradually forgotten later on.
But just because of the sudden screening of a Cyberpunk Edgewalker cartoon, the game Cyberpunk 2077 seemed to be resurrected.
Later on, some players shouted that the game production company should at least kowtow to the animation production company. Without the animation production company, this game would probably have gone cold.
In this world, this stamina is even greater.
The quality of the game itself is quite good, and the quality of the animation is also quite high. Both players and audiences have received very good positive feedback.
How is it reflected in sales?
That is, when sales gradually entered a period of weakness, once the Cyberpunk Edgewalker animation was broadcast, daily sales directly returned to the million level.
And today's momentum seems to be equally fierce. According to the statistics of the Battle.net platform, as of a few minutes before their meeting, more than 400,000 copies of Cyberpunk 2077 have been sold today.
In the past two months, Cyberpunk 2077 has experienced an initial sales explosion, with sales exceeding 10 million copies on the second day of release. Sales reached 15 million copies a week after release. Sales then declined rapidly, and finally Successfully exceeded 20 million units in two months.
This is also the game with the fastest sales growth in the gaming industry so far.
Previous games can be considered masterpieces if they can enter the tens of millions sales club within a year.
And this one has entered the 20 million sales club in two months. This can no longer be described as a simple masterpiece. This is already a work that has been unanimously recognized by the public.
In the past two days, sales have rebounded rapidly again, which is quite scary.
“President, I can even optimistically predict that this game may exceed 30 million copies this month. This is simply a feat!”
On the side, Matsuhashi shook his head on the video screen and said: "No, the number of game players is there. Twenty million sales have covered almost all core player groups. This time the explosive growth in sales is due to the addition of some core players. Users outside the game, but these users are definitely not as good as core players, at least based on the original price of the game, there shouldn’t be too many.”
Takeyusei nodded aside: "Matsuhashi Minoru is right, core players are our basic base. Although we are still trying our best to expand core players, it is still very slow after all. Most players either consider the price. , or you are not interested in this in the first place, unless... we have a discount."
Discount?
Everyone smiled.
This discount is impossible to discount, at least it is definitely impossible to discount this game now.
With the current situation of this game, there are still so many people buying it at the original price, so it is not appropriate to discount it now.
“Of course I’m just saying casually. Nowadays, discounts can easily hurt the players who bought at the original price. These players who bought at the original price are our greatest wealth, and we can’t lose big for small things.”
“Well, I understand.” Kinuchida Yuki sat back in his seat.
He was a little bit carried away by the sudden drop in sales of Cyberpunk just now.
Sales are indeed the best way to reflect the value of a game, but sales cannot be used alone to judge success or failure.
“Don’t worry, the life of this game will be much longer than you think. We can take a long-term approach to catch big fish and slowly enrich the content of the game. This cyberpunk treasure has just been unearthed.”
In Zhuyouxing’s idea, there is an online mode for Cyberpunk 2077. This mode can be referred to the Grand Theft Auto online mode. This is the best example of choosing between a buyout game and an online mode.
Then there will be various expansion packs and role-playing identity gameplay for 2077 in the follow-up.
For Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which is already assisted by AI artificial intelligence, it will not be difficult to develop subsequent expansion packs and identity gameplay based on the large framework foundation of Cyberpunk 2077.
Perhaps the total development cost of an expansion pack comparable to a normal large-scale game is only US$350 million.
After the final completion, the expansion pack will be sold for about thirty US dollars, which can also bring a lot of additional income.
The game development team he has now is a group of professionals, and the game they developed, Bamboo Gamer, is quite reliable.
The framework is there, if it is done poorly, then these people will really have no shame in it.
Following this, Zhu Youxing asked about the progress of several other games at the meeting.
There are sequels to old games.
The sequel to Metal Gear Solid, the sequel to the Forza Motorsport series, the sequel to Uncharted, etc.
Each of these games has a very loyal fan base, and they can ensure that they will not lose money or make money if they are not made in vain.
In fact, even if you lose a little, it’s not a big problem. We should train new people so that they can quickly get started with game development projects and prepare talent reserves for other big projects in the future.
The game that attracts Zhuyouxing’s most attention is Grand Theft Auto’s latest game.
This work is the most classic one. Players play three different characters in Los Santos and survive in this chaotic city.
The development of this project is also supported by part of the Cyberpunk 2077 team.
A team that already has experience in developing Cyberpunk can easily develop a new Grand Theft Auto. No matter how troublesome the technology is, it is no longer a problem now.
After all progress reports on the game were completed, Zhuyouxing began to estimate the release progress of each game. Everything is still within the plan, and the company can continue to promote it step by step.
Then Zhu Youxing looked at another new department that had just been formed, which was also a temporary department.
The head of this department is a director hired by Takeyusei who is good at holding opening ceremonies of large-scale events, and is also a well-known person in the world: Ono Sasayuki.
“Mr. Ono, do you have time to report on the Olympic projects now?”
"Okay, Mr. Zhuyou, I have prepared the relevant information. I didn't disturb your meeting just now, so I will give a brief report now."
Sayuki Ono opened a document and began to read the contents.
"After many discussions between me and the Japanese government, they finally agreed to our conditions and were willing to help us jointly produce an Olympic opening ceremony covering video games, Japanese traditional culture and animation industry. This will include me Multiple directors will serve as the general planner, and I will assist the Olympic Opening Ceremony Committee in planning the opening ceremony content of the game part."
"finally come."
Zhu Youxing was thinking in his mind
