Chapter 197: Firefly Sport
After some persuasion by Henry, Mike Mowmi and the others decided to try it as Henry said.
As a result, the release time of "Warcraft 1" had to be postponed.
After the matter was dealt with here, Henry went to the Firefly Game Company and prepared to instruct them to develop the Firefly Game Platform.
Firefly Games' offline channels have also developed very well, and now it has begun to publish games from other companies, becoming the second only computer game publishing company in the United States to EA! EA has been in business for more than ten years, and has produced many good games by itself, so its influence surpasses that of Firefly Games, and its publishing ability is also stronger!
However, EA is currently only involved in offline distribution, and there are no plans for online!
However, Firefly Games is more than EA, and it's very simple, as long as a few super hit games are released. It just so happens that the three subsidiaries of Firefly Games are very good, and they will produce super popular games in the next two or three years!!
Blizzard: "Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Diablo".
Westwood Studios: Red Alert, Command & Conquer.
ID-Sotare: "Half-Life", "CS".
So, for more than EA company, Henry is very confident!
In addition, EA's strength is sports games, and sports games are very money-making games, so Firefly Games will definitely get involved!
After coming to the Firefly Game Company, Henry instructed Simon Hodge, the company's EO, to recruit them, and instructed them to immediately develop the Firefly Game Platform and cooperate with Blizzard to sell activation codes. At the same time, Henry talked in detail about his positioning and vision for the Firefly game platform!
Simon Hodge was shocked when he heard Henry's story.
"Chairman, your wise decision will create an infinite brilliant !!!! for the future of Firefly Games."
Simon Hodge is a graduate of Harvard and has worked for IBM and Apple. GE is a very good professional manager! He is not a sycophant, he is extremely sincere and sincere praise for Henry!
Henry smiled. Said lightly: "Maybe, but our competitors are very strong!"
Simon Hodge nodded, "That's right, EA has grown rapidly in recent years, and it's not just joined Sega's 3DO consoles. Dozens of games have been developed, and the publishing capacity of the games has increased rapidly!!"
Henry followed his words and said, "So I decided that we at Firefly Games would immediately step into the sports project and stop EA !!"
Henry thought to himself, since he got involved in sports games. The best way. It is better to steal EA's future ace game FIFA series and FIFA Football Manager series!!
Henry paused and said to Simon Hodge: "What I mean is this, Firefly Games has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, focusing on sports games, the name of the company is called 'Firefly Sport', isn't 1994 the World Cup? Taking advantage of this football trend, we launched a football game, which is called FIFA1994." ”
"As long as the game is done well, I believe. This will definitely be one of the ace games of Firefly Sport!" Henry said with great certainty!
Simon Hodge nodded and said in agreement: "Well, the 1994 World Cup was an opportunity, and there is no better way to launch a football game!"
Henry continued: "While developing this game, we had to get the official licenses for all the tournaments, the players, and FIFA, and all the names and materials had to be detailed !!and accurate! Naturally, we would prefer our games!!"
"It's still the chairman, you think more comprehensively, so it's hard for our football game to be popular!" Simon Hodge admired.
Henry chuckled and continued: "In addition, we can also develop a FIFA football manager management game, allowing players to own their own football club, giving players the responsibility of team administration and coaching, whether it is training players, construction sites, banks, club meeting rooms, merchandise trading, player trading, etc., every detail of running a football club will be experienced by !!players in this game."
Simon Hodge heard Henry say this, his eyes lit up, FIFA1994 is how to play football, FIFA football manager is to run a football club, the two complement each other, in the production and development, many things are the same, you can take each other and use it directly, the two games are developed together, saving a lot of resources!!
In fact, it was one game that was developed, but two games were sold!!
"That's a great idea!! Simon Hodge thought to himself!
"Chairman, your idea is fantastic, absolutely genius!! Simon Hodge exclaimed!
Henry just smiled, EA is how to make money, develop a game, when two games are sold, but both FIFA and FIFA professional managers are super fun games, some players called on EA to merge the two games, but EA is not stupid, how can it be possible to merge the two games?
In any case, Henry "borrowed" the tricks that EA would play in the future. In addition, EA would launch Need for Speed in 1994, and for this ace game, there is no doubt that Henry decided to develop it first. So, he said to Simon Hodge, "In addition, we will be working on a racing game called Need for Speed. The car data in the game will correspond to the real data, simulating the real driving situation, so that players can experience the thrill of real driving!! in addition, the game should add some plots as the theme, the police chase the speeder, the speeder escapes and other themes, therefore, the game must have a police car debut, but also there must be Chevrolet, Jaguar, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz and other car fans can only worship the luxury car! Let them live a luxury car addiction !!
Simon Hodge felt his blood boil when he listened to it, and it must be very cool to develop such a racing game!!
At this time, Henry suddenly remembered that Need for Speed 1 was a collaboration between EA and the professional car magazine RoadTrak, and it can be said that RoadTrak car magazine played a big role in the development of this game. So, Henry said to Simon Hodge: "Roadtrak Magazine is the world's most professional car magazine, so we had to buy it and be able to provide the most professional and comprehensive data for our car games!!!
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to buy this car magazine!" Simon Hodge nodded.
