Chapter 110: New Target!
Someone calculated such an account.
A triple-A game with the same size of money.
The penguins in the previous life could have three terminal games and two mobile games.
And the income of terminal games and mobile games, which one has to play triple-A games.
Penguin wasn't a single person's private business at that time.
It's a public company, it needs financial reports, it needs to make money.
In foreign countries, a game can recover most of the cost with just the console version, and there is even a surplus.
Not to mention the digital version.
However, in China, even if all the benefits are added, it is not as good as a mobile game to make money, and this situation has always been the fundamental reason for hindering the improvement of the game level in the industry.
Although Feng Liuye had the bandit name of Feng Cannon, I have to say that sometimes, I really can't blame others for spraying.
Of course, movies and games are two different things.
The film market needs to be cultivated, and so does the game market.
However, the film market has a batch of capital pouring in, but the game market has been monopolized in China because of Penguin and NetEase.
Let's put it this way, the top ten game companies, all combined, I'm afraid they are not as good as the single items of Penguin or NetEase.
Especially penguins!
If it weren't for the penguins, they still knew that they would fight each other left and right, and find an opponent for themselves, I'm afraid they would have rotted a long time ago.
However, Mao Yi will not be presumptuous.
After next year, the Diablo Remake should be ready to meet.
Although many people said that it was difficult to remake at the beginning, this is a game from seven or eight years ago, and it doesn't really cost much to reverse the modern finished product.
It can even be said that with the investment of an ordinary online game now, Diablo 2 can be remade.
But why does Blizzard refuse to remake it?
Even its Father of Darkness has always said that Diablo 2 will not be remade?
It is estimated that this involves the issue of IP derived from a work.
As we all know, Blizzard's games are good.
But Blizzard is notoriously slow to make games.
Ticket bounce is the norm.
As a result, he was really unable to remake it when he was developing a new IP.
So can Blizzard directly remake Diablo 2 like those famous fried cold rice factories in the previous life?
OK.
But it doesn't bother to do so.
And to be honest, Diablo 2 of that year also reached the fifth act, and even if it is remade, it is a question of how many people will be willing to pay for it.
Rather than that, it's better to create something completely new.
Keep a brand new effect.
Coupled with the fact that the people who created Diablo 2 have left one after another, the remake of Diablo 2 has become more and more difficult.
And the reset is not a remaster.
The former is just a renovation of an old game, while the latter is no less difficult than developing a new one.
This is really more than worth the loss for Blizzard.
So why did Mao Yi buy the remake rights to Diablo 2?
Naturally, in order to be able to develop Path of Exile.
With the remake rights of Diablo 2, it will be easier for Mao Yi to develop "Path of Exile".
As for the remake of Diablo 2......
Of course, there must also be a problem.
After all, Mao Yi himself still likes Diablo 2 very much, although he can't be regarded as a hardcore veteran player, but he also likes to play very much.
And the key thing is that through the remake of this game, you can quickly cultivate a group of game talents with experience in making games!
This is the fundamental reason why Mao Yi spent a lot of money to remake a single-player game that was released seven or eight years ago.
As long as the employees involved in the remake can learn from the level of Blizzard's group of eighty percent, or even only sixty percent, then it is no longer difficult to develop their own games.
Of course, it's hard.
It's even a bit of a waste of time.
But it's idle anyway, and while the game department hasn't been formed yet, it's slowly being studied.
If you study it thoroughly, you can do whatever you want in "Path of Exile".
In fact, buying games, on the one hand, Mao Yi took a fancy to the potential of these games, which can have good profits and good financial reports, but on the other hand, Mao Yi is also thinking about expanding the game market.
In fact, anyone who really knows the industry knows that the elevation of a single game or work is meaningless.
Oh, and it can't be said that at least capital can pour in.
However, online games in China are inherently inferior to the prospects for the development of the film and television drama industry.
So instead of standing alone, it is better to make the market bigger.
Here's a very simple example.
The number of gamers today will not exceed 20 million.
But what about when that number expands to 50 million, or even 100 million?
What kind of profit does that bring?
Such a large market can never be swallowed by one person.
So what Mao Yi has to do is to expand the market.
Then when the market is bigger, there will naturally be more games.
In order to seize more markets, there are naturally more and more good games.
When the time comes, wouldn't it be better for Huaxia's games to be exported abroad?
Isn't it better to earn foreign exchange and invest in more products?
So from the very beginning, Mao Yi was different from ordinary game manufacturers.
He's not aiming for profit, or rather, he's not too focused on making money from games.
If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have any experience in the production of triple-A games in China at this time, he really wouldn't have to work so hard.
Speaking of triple-A level games......
Mao Yi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yaya looked at Mao Yi strangely.
The two were shopping and chatting, but Mao Yi suddenly stopped, which still aroused Yaya's curiosity.
"Nothing. Mao Yi, who woke up, shook his head.
"Tell me about it. Yaya took Mao Yi's arm and asked curiously.
"I want to make a triple-A game. ”
Although Yaya is an actor, after all, her boyfriend is doing this, and Yaya has naturally made up a lot of knowledge about games recently, so she naturally knows what a 3A game is.
"Did you do it in Huaxia?" Yaya asked.
"Yes. ”
"Yes...... You can't do it, can you?" asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"This question is so ......," Mao Yi said, lost in thought.
Yaya was not in a hurry, but looked at Mao Yi with a smile.
What she likes the most is the way Mao Yi thinks.
Very handsome.
Mao Yi, on the other hand, is thinking about what type of game should be made.
Strictly speaking, in the next few years, various types of games in China will actually have audiences.
But in general, it is still dominated by online games.
This doesn't matter, there are three DOTA, LOL, and Road of Exile, and Mao Yi doesn't need to think about any online games anymore.
But then the simple RPG game is not popular.
RTS-type games will not have any market in the future, and although they are not made to make money, they can't lose too much.
So......
Is there a game that can be popular not only in China, but also abroad?
Mao Yi was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard the girl next to him exclaim: "Wow! What a beautiful picture!"
Subconsciously looked at Yaya's line of sight, and Mao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
A handsome woman in a black tracksuit, with a hot body, holding two guns, and a signature ponytail, is looking deeply ahead.
If you look closely, this is actually a promotional image of a physical store!
Mao Yi's mind was suddenly struck by a spiritual light!
How did you forget her!
