Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 584 Score cut in half

  After releasing their own first-person shooter game on YOO, they also launched their own racing game.

   Need for Speed ​​Part 5 was added by Zhu Yuxing to the later very successful police and bandit chase, story mode, etc., while YOO is more inclined to real competition.

   Obviously, the game studio has realized that it cannot compete directly with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. Anyway, racing games are not only for street racing, we can make another track type racing game.

Before the game was released, Nagao Rain carried out a large-scale publicity as usual, especially the very high-profile announcement of cooperation with well-known racing events, and they could play the most classic racing events. They also spent a lot of money for this. Obtaining authorization for a small amount of money is obviously a desire to replicate the success of the FIFA football game.

   However, when the first week of sales of the game ended, the results were not satisfactory, and even a little bad.

  The sales of 120,000 on the first Wednesday are more than half the sales of the previous two games.

   And on various social media, the feedback from players is relatively dull. Most players don’t seem to be interested in racing games, even if the game’s vigorous publicity has not achieved any good results.

   After the first week of sales ended, Nagao Yu immediately invested more money in publicity, hoping to win word of mouth in this way.

   It’s just that the results are still bad.

  Suri Electronics also has high hopes for YOO's racing game, giving more resources to this game, and also advertised several times for this game for free, but it did not expect the game's sales to be so low.

  This is a game with an investment cost of over 100 million US dollars, and this sales volume is simply not enough to watch.

   A very bad result for both Suri Electronics and YOO.

   At this time, the game evaluation media also began to take the initiative to stand up, and the most authoritative Murakami published his own article.

   Everyone knows that he is a die-hard supporter of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, but this does not affect his professional judgment.

   He was one of the first people to play video games, and he has experienced a lot of games from middle school to now.

   And his evaluation of this racing game is a dessert game that can be played, but it doesn't stop there. Murakami himself is willing to give this game three and a half stars.

  This is already very good compared to the games of the game consoles of Suri Electronics in previous years.

   After all, the previous games did not even have a passing line.

   Now it's good to be able to reach the pass level.

   But players are a group of users who will never be satisfied, and they will endlessly desire better games.

   And once you experience better games, some games of relatively low quality will start to feel bored.

   This situation has intensified since the release of Need for Speed ​​5 by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   On the day of the release of YOO's racing game, there were not many players who went to the store to buy the game. At least when they bought it, they didn't need to queue for too long to buy the game.

   And the release of Need for Speed ​​5 is completely different.

  Like the Japanese region of the United States, players line up in the traditional way of setting up tents at the store entrance on the eve of the annual release.

  In Europe, with the increase in the installed capacity of GS1 consoles, the players of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment are also growing rapidly.

   And players in Europe are also queuing up, which is very obvious compared to YOO's racing games.

   As long as you pay a little attention to the game circle, you can see which game is more popular through this on-site sales situation.

   "I'm wondering why Need for Speed ​​seems to be more popular now, you all swore before that you can express the racing game in another way to achieve corner overtaking!"

   Nagao Yu is an operator. He is not a creator, but he has a unique vision. At least he can think of creating a media group of his own to expand his influence.

   But he, who is not the creator, cannot understand the development problems of those games.

  Before, after the development team under his command proposed to him the idea of ​​a racing game, he thought it was quite reasonable, at least he himself felt that he was more interested in a more realistic racing game.

   And after the success of the football game, he felt even more important to get professional authorization.

   However, he made all these efforts and investments with little success.

   He doesn't understand, really doesn't understand, why this is the result.

   Now he can only question the person in charge of game development who patted him on the chest as a guarantee.

  I have given you the best development environment, but getting this result is totally unacceptable.

   "President, we didn't do well enough, I'm very sorry."

   The person in charge of the game who was questioned didn't look very good at this time, and looked a little tired.

During this period of time, the pace of their game development was very fast. In order to catch up with the progress, he could hardly sleep. After the game was released, he thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect to be called over by Nagao Yu. , a meeting was held for a while, and he was studying how to increase sales for a while, and he really couldn't support it.

Not only that, but there are some other reasons that make him feel a little down. One of them is that since the development of racing games, the salary is always paid later, and the salary has been significantly reduced. It also promised to reward each of them after the release, but it has not been mentioned anymore.

   And another reason is that since the advent of the Internet era, simple stand-alone video games are not only over after the game is released, and now the game also needs continuous follow-up service support after it is released.

Because the construction period of this racing game is too tight, it was released earlier than Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's Need for Speed, which also indirectly led to some problems at the bottom of the game itself. , the people under him are not idle, and they are filling the loopholes every day.

   All of this made the person in charge more and more exhausted, so he seemed a little weak when answering questions.

   Nagao Yu was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He said sternly: "Now find a remedy for me immediately, can I launch more models? Can I launch more tracks?"

   "This... there may be some difficulties. Right now, the development team hasn't rested much. They have been urgently patching game loopholes. They haven't had time to relax since the game was released, and now they don't have much time to add game content."

   "Just give me overtime."

  PS: Sorry readers, bosses, I had a bit of work on the weekend yesterday, and I fell asleep immediately after get off work. I will make up for the chapter immediately and add more compensation today.
