Chapter 40: The Most Annoying Player [Asking for Recommendation Votes!First Update]
This post has caused a thousand waves with one stone.
In the midst of praise, the appearance of such a post made many people feel unbearable
Although they didn't like The Sims unconditionally, such a conspiracy post really touched a certain part of their heartstrings.
And a small number of people, following the thoughts of the owner of the post, thought all the way, and finally got into a cold sweat.
The pros and cons began to oppose each other, and with this post, the discussion began on The Sims.
"John!John!The Sims is on fire!The Sims is on fire!" Richie, who was in front of the computer, stumbled into a forum and saw that almost all the posts on the homepage were related to The Sims, and he jumped up from his chair excitedly.
"But...... Why don't I see so many people who bought The Sims?" Richie, who fell from the sky, began to wonder again.
You must know that this school is one of the birthplaces of electronic technology, and the students here are more receptive to new things than other schools and people of other ages.
What made him wonder why The Sims was so hotly discussed on the Internet, but calm in the county mayor, and no one said that this game was the same.
Of course, he didn't know the gap between the Internet and reality, and he certainly didn't know that the physical game of The Sims was sold out and he couldn't buy it if he wanted to.
Of course, he didn't know that The Sims was far more popular among girls than among boys.
For girls, The Sims is a game that can be said to be an advanced technology version of the game.
I don't know how many boys were forced by girls to play real people when they were young.
And in the game "The Sims", you don't have to sleep to play with you, the whole world plays with you. It's a great feeling.
Because of the interpersonal circle and so on, Rich didn't hear how many people talk about The Sims in real life.
Seeing that Takahashi didn't bother with him, Richie was used to it, so he continued to sit down and continue to browse the forum.
After about six minutes, he shouted angrily.
"John! There's a guy here who says The Sims is going to ruin the entire video game industry! Look at what he said! Nonsense! He doesn't know anything about video games! He doesn't know about The Sims! He doesn't know at all!"
Takahashi looked up this time, "The Sims ruined the video game industry?" ”
"Let me see. ”
Takahashi walked up to the computer and said, he wanted to see what this person said, and he would come up with such an interesting statement.
Of course, he didn't think that this person made a post, just that he thought that the game "The Sims" was wrong and what the problem was.
On the contrary, praise and disapproval are the buyers.
He felt that if the whole person said something, he must have studied the game "The Sims".
Richie moved out of his seat, and Takahashi did it.
It took him a few minutes to read the post written by this person.
In Takahashi's opinion, this post is targeted and substantial, and even in his opinion, it is already an accurate prophecy.
The future of video games, for the most part, is really as this man said.
Even......
European and American game manufacturers, in order to eat more of the video game market for themselves. The so-called 3A standard was proposed.
There are many sayings about the 3A standard, which can be said to be the top scale, the most level of cost, the top picture, and so on.
If you want to play triple-A games, you must have money.
At that time, Asian games, South Korea, Taiwan, and even Yuben, game manufacturers in these countries and regions lacked money.
It's okay, because he was the boss before, although because he did have little money, he was squeezed out of a lot of market share.
However, they survived.
However, the original game works of South Korea and Taiwan seem to be collapsed in the face of triple-A games.
A new player, before playing a game, the first thing he sees is the picture of a game, just like knowing a person, the first thing he sees is the person's appearance.
European and American game manufacturers can spend a huge amount of money to make the game look powerful.
Even if a player buys it back and finds that it is just a game with no brains and no connotation, so what?
If there is a new game, it is not good looking, and the picture is good, you will buy it.
In contrast, the production cost of the game has shrunk sharply due to economic problems, and it is really not comparable to European and American games on the screen.
In this way, no matter how fun the game is, without a good skin, new players will not buy these games that seem cheap.
In this way, the game effect that can be achieved is limited at a limited cost.
Even those who care about gameplay will face a choice.
Whether to give up the investment in connotation and put all the money on improving the picture, or continue to stick to the original path until the company can't hold on.
Most of the game manufacturers have chosen to take the previous path.
These manufacturers who lost their souls, although they survived, they did not live well.
Players who are new to the game are starting to think that video games are just about better graphics. In fact, it's all the same way to play, and it's all quite boring.
When the number of such players starts to increase, gradually people are exposed to the fun games that used to be playful.
The existing game market order began to collapse, and the entire industry entered a new cycle.
"Isn't that right? How could The Sims ruin a video game!John!
Takahashi felt a little funny when he saw Richie's appearance, and he said with a smile, "I actually agree with most of what he said.
However, it can't be said that The Sims ruined video games.
It's that video games themselves will evolve in this way, and the so-called trend will not change because of one or two games.
That's not to say that the gaming market wouldn't have changed without The Sims.
Richie, a player like you should be considered a veteran player.
Do you know what kind of players are most annoyed by video game producers and publishers?
It's you veteran players. ”
