Chapter 781: Four Days (1)
A high school in Marseille, France, has just finished its morning classes, and students are resting in a leafy school.
"Bastard! What a bastard! Several classmates, playing Genesis, gritted their teeth and said, "Did you watch CBS yesterday?" Oh, and by the way, there's four CTVs! It's a fart! Sling the bull! ”
"Oh! I'm losing again! A classmate put away the handheld computer stupidly and said depressedly: "Not really! I don't think anyone can say that the Qin Dynasty is wrong! What about Chinese companies? Other companies have made so many good games? ”
"Look at what CTV says, it's just ugly! I want to beat him up! "Hey! I called CTV's hotline and it didn't work at all! "The most depressing thing is that my parents are no longer ready to sponsor me to buy the other side of the clouds and mountains! Say it's too expensive! Hehe, the decision was made after the show, and they didn't understand me at all! ”
Several people expressed their dissatisfaction with several big platforms. However, as several electromagnetic sounds passed, they fell silent at the same time.
"This is Bonama High School Radio." A male voice sounded, followed by a female voice echoing: "I am very happy to be with my classmates at this time every day, and below, we will broadcast the noon broadcast from Radio France Internationale, I hope you have a good listen." ”
"Oh, dear Angelina, it's a great honor for you to be a guest on our international broadcast. Hey listeners, I'm Ambroise, host of the noon radio 'Star', and it's a pleasure to meet you all at the same time. A hearty baritro voice sounded, low and magnetic: "Let me introduce to you that Ms. Angelina, a famous professor at the University of Paris, the oldest and most famous university in Europe, will be the guest of the 'Star' today to accompany you for twenty wonderful minutes." ”
"It's Ambroise!" Many students laughed, this channel will be broadcast every day at noon, and the school uses it as the school's fixed listening channel, this host is just popular, and he has long been familiar with the student group.
The school cafeteria is bustling with people, and students are biting on burgers and eating food while taking time to listen to the radio, which is leisurely envious.
"Miss Angelina." Ambroise's voice sounded again, and he said with a smile: "I invite you to come today, I especially want to ask for your opinion. As far as I know, yesterday there was a special commercial on the noon news of the television station. It is an advertisement about the new work of China's Qin Dynasty Company, the other side of the clouds and mountains......"
There are not many students who like to play games, and when they heard this, many people raised their heads, and even the few students who were complaining just now listened to the radio with great enthusiasm, for fear of missing a single bit.
The denial of their hobbies has made them suffocate their bellies, and now they are desperate to hear the voice of approval.
"Yes, I've seen it." Angelina said.
"A masterpiece made by a famous company in the industry......"
"Pause." Before the fans of the Qin Dynasty could smile on their faces, a cold female voice immediately interrupted the host's voice: "Famous enterprise? Mr. Ambroise, no offense, but I don't think it's too much to call it a famous enterprise? ”
"It's only been around for just over four years, and it's not comparable to Atari, the initiator of electronic entertainment! And the successor Nintendo is even more incomparable! Even compared to Sega, the qualifications are too short and too short. Funding is also absolutely insufficient. How many places can it rank in the world? If they are really famous, then why didn't Time Magazine interview them? Don't rank them in the world's top 500? I think this is a new company, a new company with good luck, and it is still too far from being famous. ”
"Secondly, a masterpiece? I have to remind all players to choose the game rationally and not be deceived by the gorgeous graphics and advertising slogans. ”
"As far as I know, the success of any well-known game is in the planning, in the creativity, in the playability, not in the damn graphics! What's the use of it for making a seamless picture? What is bad is not good, and it will never be on the table. Oh, I'm certainly not talking about this work, and I'm not sure how this work will be. I just think that if it sets such a high price, we have the right to choose. ”
Under the big tree, several students eating bread opened their mouths in surprise.
What they wanted to hear was the approval of adults and the praise of others, but they never expected that the people invited by the "star", these experts and wise people in their cognition, gave completely different answers!
"Huh, nonsense! This is nonsense! A student's face was almost choked by the bread in his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and said angrily: "The Qin Dynasty is not a well-known enterprise, what is it?" Doesn't anyone else make such a fun game? Nintendo? I've stopped playing for a long time! And what Atari! I didn't even think about it! ”
On campus, similar voices rang out in many places, and the students of the entertainment club directly opened the windows and shouted upstairs: "Who played the radio?" If you don't understand, you're talking nonsense, turn it off quickly! ”
"That's it! If you don't understand it at all, you're talking nonsense! "Don't denigrate other companies! I won't listen to this show again! "It's funny, this professor is a special comedian, right?"
"Some listeners may say that the Qin Dynasty is not a well-known enterprise in the industry, what is it? I can only say that this listener, you do not know this line of work, the roots of this line are currently in Japan, the Qin Dynasty has no support in China, no policies, no new blood, in my opinion, their luck is only temporary. This is also the root of their inability to shake Nintendo's foundations. If you don't know, you can ask practitioners to see what they say. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Not only this school, too many schools, too many student supporters, whether high school or college, at this moment, all dumbfounded.
Quite simply, who is talking nonsense, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if you're a professor or not.
What the status of the Qin Dynasty was, it is even less important.
The important thing is that no one knows!
Because the group of electronic entertainment is students, teenagers who have not stepped into society! They simply can't verify these facts! Before the era of the information explosion came, black and white were just the mouths of the leading media!
Occasionally something you know?
It doesn't matter, are there 1 in 10,000 of those people? They still have 9999 people to fool around.
"Really?" At the University of Paris, a classmate pushed his glasses and asked his roommate who was reading a book next to him: "Hey, don't the people in the game club respect this Qin Dynasty?" I've also played their games, which are quite innovative, and it turns out to be a small company? ”
"Who knows?" The student who read the book said unconcernedly: "I'm from the film club, and we were going to raise money to buy a new console, and this game feels very good......"
He closed the book with a "snap" and frowned: "Now...... Sounds unreliable......"
In England, at Oxford University, almost all of them were in a rage, they also had broadcasts, and they had the same "experts" talking, but what they said was not the same as what they knew!
"Fart! Fart! How could the games of the Qin Dynasty be shoddy! "Hehe, circle money, he can figure it out! Take 400 million to circle money? "Nintendo and Sega? They don't dare to say that the Qin Dynasty is not one of the leaders in the industry now, what kind of broken channel bullshit doesn't know how to bite everywhere! ”
The president pushed his glasses irritably: "This morning's Times Morning Post, it's still talking about it." The rhetoric was even more intense than yesterday, with several experts and professors whom I had never heard of criticizing the game for its many flaws. One of them is what department we have at Oxford University, I specifically asked, but there is no such person at all! ”
"How can they be so unethical!" A member said indignantly, "It's not good to say that it's not on sale yet!" I'll see how they justify themselves! Is there anything bad about the games of the Qin Dynasty? ”
"That's it! I'm sure it's definitely a supermasterpiece! "I never doubted the Qin Dynasty's R&D capabilities!" "Every one of them is a genius!"
However, the irons are only a minority. More people, in this big wave, there are different voices.
No matter how iron-clad the iron is, it can't support the sales of a game, and you have to cruise players to win the world, this sentence is a famous saying for the ages.
"There are so many drawbacks?" In an apartment, a young black man rubbed his hair in pain: "Jack also told me to buy this together...... This...... It looks like the experts are not optimistic......"
Don't doubt that before the Third Age came, if it weren't for the people who knew the inside story, the recommendation of experts and professors would have worked.
Similarly, the denial of experts and professors, not to mention blindly following the trend, but will definitely give a psychological discount to the product.
Blind obedience effect, celebrity effect. There are some psychology that human beings cannot avoid no matter what.
In a high school and a newly established game club, many people were stunned to watch the TV, which was playing a special lunchtime show.
"Oh, I can't believe it's set at two hundred dollars. I fully agree with other experts, first of all, there is no precedent for this, good or bad, if it is good, I am willing to pay for two hundred dollars. But what about the bad? I have to say that there is a good chance that it will not be done well, after all, it is the first time. Secondly, the Qin Dynasty had no experience in making console games, and even whether they could do a good console was a question. Finally, hey guys, it's just the game, plus the console, can you afford it? ”
At the end of the special session, everyone looked at each other and did not say a word.
"Hey...... I said......" Finally, a classmate opened his mouth and said worriedly, "What he said seems to make sense......"
No one answered, and the lie became the truth after a thousand times, especially since last night, when it was reported incessantly like the wind, or in the eyes of students whose character was not yet fully formed.
If yesterday except for CBS, it was just a gentle accusation, but today, radio, newspapers, and TV stations are taking turns to bombard with fatigue, even if many students who don't play games have begun to ask people in the game club: I heard that there is a game that is very good, but it was criticized very badly?
Newspapers, magazines, and television stations are not one of the most rogue brainwashing tools.
......No one answered his question, and after a long time, another student said, "Let's see...... I wanted to buy it, but now that I say that, I'm really hesitant...... After all, two hundred dollars is not cheap. ”
"But the previous games of the Qin Dynasty were good, huh?"
"That's the old days!" The president sighed: "We...... Not as professional as these newspapers and magazines, right? They have a point in saying that...... Right? ”
Cruising players are not a committed group, they are easily led by the outside world. For example, a classmate said: XX game is finished, for example, FAMI said, I give full marks to this game. It's easy for them to abandon their plans and buy something else.
However, 90% of the game's purchasers are cruising players! Only 10% of hardcore players! Not even yet!
Sony and Nintendo, this is to cut off the roots of the other side of the clouds and mountains, and directly cut off the idea of cruising players!
