Chapter 24: Addiction
It's not that the Japanese don't naturally dislike gunfight games, but they lack the soil for the survival of gunfight games.
Whether it's an arcade or a home console, it's not really suitable for three-dimensional gunplay games.
Players' preferences, in fact, are educated to some extent.
Without the right input, game makers won't be able to launch the right game.
Without the right game, how can players possibly enjoy the genre?
It's like being in another world, and it is said that players don't like to play gunfight games, but after the launch of Nintendo's "Death Spray Scribble", it still achieved very good results in the book.
So, it's just a stereotype of what type of game players like and dislike in any place.
As for whether the game sells well or not, the key is to see whether the game is fun or not.
It's a pity that the vast majority of video game manufacturers can't make interesting and groundbreaking games.
Therefore, in order to cover up their incompetence, they can only say which game the player in which place they don't like to play.
It's a pity that when a lie is told a thousand times, it becomes the truth.
Even the players themselves feel that they don't like to play gunplay games.
So, when they saw a row of six "Anti-Terrorist Operation" arcade machines in the arcade hall, they felt that this was a provocation to them and a blasphemy against them.
"Hey, what's going on?' What about Tower of Magic?, how did it become a few of these machines?" asked a young man with a pinch of yellow hair, a nail stuck in his cheek, and a drink that seemed to squirt out if he didn't notice.
Although the size of this arcade is not large, it is not small, and it is considered medium-sized.
However, even if it is medium-sized, in the current recession era, the boss is no longer like before, and the world is wandering.
Instead, I worked in the store myself.
The boss saw that the yellow-haired young man blew his hair, rubbed his hands and walked up with a smile, the fat on his beer belly trembled, and said very kindly, "You think it's weird, I think it's weird too." However, this is a new game from Wanhu, and if they want to change it, we can only change it. ”
The boss said at the end, spread his hands, and said innocently.
In fact, where are Wanhu as domineering as he said, whether they change it or not, they are all free to choose.
It's just that if you choose to change, you'll get an extra benefit.
The arcade owner is a person who wants to make money and has no liking for the game itself.
If there is money to take, why doesn't he change it?
As for whether the arcade machine "Anti-Terrorist Operation" is played, he doesn't care.
Because Wanhu signed a guarantee agreement with him, each of these six arcade machines will contribute 300,000 guarantees every month.
You know, it's not the era when you could earn 100,000 a day with one unit a day.
A machine, 150,000 a month is the normal level, 200,000, 300,000 is already burning high incense.
The guarantee of 10,000 households is directly the price of burning high incense, and he will not agree to it because his brain is broken.
However, as the owner of the arcade, he would not explain this to customers.
First of all, he doubted how much higher the brain capacity of the yellow hair in front of him was higher than that of walnuts, and whether he could understand it. Secondly, throwing the pot has become an instinct of the boss.
If you can shake the pot, why not shake the pot?
Huang Mao raised his head and glanced at the boss with his nostrils, his brain capacity was not really the size of a walnut, of course he knew what the guy in front of him said, basically he couldn't believe it, but he still decided to give this "Anti-Terrorist Operation" a try.
It's not that he believes in the boss, but he sees the logo of Wanhu on the arcade livery on it.
The games made by Wanhu, although he doesn't like every one, but most of them can still be played.
It's not like a game from some small factories, you don't need to play, just look at the manufacturer's logo and you can know that you don't need to play.
Of course, these six arcade machines are all on standby at the moment, and the demo screen of the game is running on them.
The demo screen is played from the perspective of the police, who use a variety of firearms to eliminate one bandit after another, and finally win the final victory.
To talk about the quality of the picture,The quality of this game,Actually, it's relatively good.,Although it's not the top arcade game.,But it's also a second-rate level.。
You must know that the reason why the electronics manufacturers of this book have entered the era of three-dimensional games and are being thrown farther and farther away is because their technical strength is not enough.
Whether it is a large or small factory, to make a new arcade-based version, almost all have to seek the help of American companies.
That is, they do not own their core technology.
Without their own core technology, large manufacturers can still customize excellent substrates if they have money, but what about small manufacturers?
Just like SNK, which is an outstanding manufacturer in the category of fighting games, the substrates made by lack of money are not satisfactory.
Originally, players just criticized SNK's substrate for being too old, but as soon as the new substrate was launched, everyone didn't even want to mention the name of SNK.
Often, when everyone also mentions the name of a company, it means that the company still has a status in the new China of users. Even if it is a complaint, it is more just angry and unhappy.
However, if one day, users seem to have forgotten and stopped mentioning it.
Then it can only be said to be cool......
If you talk about the development process of these years, in fact, you have not disappointed the players.
Although there may be times when the game is relatively niche, there are always people who like it very much.
It's almost impossible for all players to spurn it.
The difference between these is probably just the difference between carelessness.
Some manufacturers seem to always think of video games as a tool to make money.
The feelings of players who don't care at all, but Wanhu is different, if a game Wanhu doesn't think it's fun, then even if the game has been made, Wanhu won't be released.
Perhaps, those games that sank in the vast sea of ten thousand households will not be able to surface one by one after many years.
Takahashi has already planned to transform the 10,000-household battle platform into a digital game sales platform and player communication community in the future, and then sell these games at a very low price.
At that time, there may be many players who are keen on these old games that have not been released before.
However, it all depends on whether the current 10,000 households can continue to be popular with players.
The controller of the arcade machine of "Anti-Terrorist Action" is not a joystick, and when Huang Mao picked up this kind of controller he saw for the first time, he got used to it a little.
However, soon he became obsessed......
