Chapter 301: Die before you get out of the school
For a long time before, Wayward Heaven was not inferior to its competitors in terms of the design level of the host. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Released in the '80s, the FC of Paradise was not only a classic in console history, but also set many standards in the modern video game world.
In recent years, although the consoles of Rentian have often lagged behind their competitors in terms of functionality, this is more based on product strategy considerations.
In fact, before Ye Le led the official rise of Aurora Games, as long as Wayward Heaven was willing, it had the strength to make a host with excellent performance as before.
Although it was one of the hardest hit companies in the current stock market crash, Wayward Heaven still has a considerable "family property" to continue to maintain the company's operations.
As long as there will be no further large losses in the later stage, it can be fully supported.
But Yamauchi Pu is afraid that the stock market crash will continue to make trouble!
That's right, he rarely feels scared because of something, but this time he was really scared.
It's true that Willy Heaven is rich, but as one of the hardest hit Japanese companies, the loss is not a small amount.
Fortunately, because this game empire has developed the habit of holding a large amount of cash flow and resolutely not going into debt, since the time of Yamauchi Pu, it has allowed Wayward Paradise to save a strong family foundation.
This meant that Willful Paradise's money was not used to invest heavily in real estate, nor was it easily used to expand the company, but was honestly deposited in the bank.
In the ranking of cash flow holdings of Japanese domestic companies, Wayward Heaven has also been in the top three for many years in recent years.
Therefore, if Wayward Heaven wants to start a console war with its opponent, at least it will not worry about using money.
But I really didn't expect that the money that was originally used to have a host war with the opponent at a critical time was exhausted by the stock market, and only the money that supported all the departments of Wayward Heaven could maintain normal operation in the next period of time was left.
Whether it is in the previous life or here, in the big field of mobile games (mobile games), the willful paradise has hit a wall, and it is full of ashes and embarrassment.
In his previous life, Wayward Heaven has always rejected mobile games and said all kinds of things.
For example, at the time of the rise of the mobile game market, the head of Wayward Heaven still publicly stated that Nintendo would not join the mobile game market, and criticized the way mobile games were charged to ruin the fun of people's games.
But it didn't take long for them to regret it, choosing to slap themselves in the face and enter the mobile gaming space, and then fail to hit the streets........
Smartphones have been impacting the country laid by Wayward Heaven, and the former Wayward Heaven wanted to be tough, but it seems that they all failed without exception.
Even the popular mobile game Pokemon GO before the crossing is a game that Wayward Heaven has been planning for many years, and it was not suddenly thought of by a slap of the head.
That game does have its own uniqueness in Ye Le's opinion, and Pokemon GO breaks several of the current characteristics of mobile games.
The current mobile game has a short development cycle, and the krypton elements are obvious, to put it bluntly, it is short and fast, but the game of pocket GO should have been planned for several years, and it is not for people to go to krypton.
With the strength of Wayward Heaven, the ultimate move that has been held back for so long should not be too inaccurate.
The second is that this game is matched with Nintendo's own hardware, a bracelet, Nintendo has always been a game hardware manufacturer, at present, it is Nintendo's console, out of the handheld, but what else is the game hardware, does the bracelet count, count!
Although other hardware manufacturers have risen strongly to become the world's top giants one by one, Wayward Heaven still has some foundation for game hardware, and other hardware is definitely not as good as those hardware manufacturers, but Wayward Heaven still has a certain say in game hardware, and it is not directly squeezed out as imagined.
For example, even if Nintendo ceases all its business and lives only on this mobile game of Pocket GO, it is still a game hardware vendor.
The degree of dependence of handheld-based game manufacturers on game hardware is quite starry.
Ye Le remembers that Pu Yamauchi, who used to be a wayward Heaven, said: "The day Nintendo withdrew from the game hardware market was the day when Nintendo completely withdrew from the game industry."
Therefore, Nintendo is still in the game hardware market with the combination of bracelet and mobile phone, and Nintendo has not completely abandoned traditional game hardware, and is even trying to revitalize the traditional game hardware market.
But Ye Le, including many people in the world industry, have to say that the current development direction of Wayward Paradise seems to be a little weird, and he has embarked on a strange route.
In the eyes of onlookers like Ye Le, the future development direction of Wayward Heaven should be from going head-to-head with smartphones to using Wayward Paradise to pull smartphones over in the way Wayward Heaven has been doing for a long time.
If it succeeds, the entire game market will undergo another reshuffle, and maybe even Ye Le himself will be temporarily suppressed, waiting for the time to redeem a new game, and then compete with Wayward Heaven.
Ye Le, who has worked hard for decades, is ashamed of himself, but from the current short-paced and fast barbaric growth to a benign track that pays more attention to quality, it is not impossible for Nintendo to do this.
The company has redefined the home game console, but the company is not necessarily able to do it, and now the company is facing a conservative management style and a big unfavorable situation of the overall shrinkage of the traditional business.
As early as some time ago, Ye Le remembered that Wayward Heaven produced a mobile game "Pokemon Beast" in a high-profile manner, announced his official entry into the mobile game market, and planned to do his best to bring his well-known IP to the mobile platform.
This news has attracted a lot of attention from the gaming industry from the beginning, which means that classic characters such as Mario and Pikachu will be able to show off on mobile platforms, which is undoubtedly a happy thing for the majority of players.
However, the game was indeed made, but unfortunately the effect was not satisfactory.
Although there has been a breakthrough in picture quality, it is far from the mobile games of Aurora Games in the hearts of players.
The gameplay is also exactly the same as on the handheld, with little innovation.
The game is like a new version of the high-end handheld Pokemon, with characters, maps, function buttons, and pokemon that have indeed changed, but unfortunately it is not the online game that players are expecting.
So the game launched a round of testing vigorously, and after Willful Heaven collected players' reviews and suggestions for the game, it had to be buried with his own hands in frustration.
Such an experience is like a bolt from the blue that casts a haze on the road to the mobile game of Wayward Paradise, as the so-called "die before you get out of the school", a game is stillborn before it is officially released, which is really embarrassing.
