In late September, the headquarters of Longteng in Beijing, Sony headquarters in Tokyo, although they are tens of millions of miles apart, but the atmosphere of the two companies is very similar, the war is about to break out, I don't know how the future will end, Jiutaliang Mu Ken can touch his chin and walk around for an hour, Yang Yun, who has always been strategic, is also a little hesitant.

This is like playing StarCraft, the commanders of the two sides are doing the most difficult deployment of troops, Longteng is the aircraft carrier Dragoon Golden Beetle plus lightning soldiers, and Sony is the Devourer Elephant Stinging Snake Flying Dragon Sea, the strength can be said to be evenly matched.

"Mr. Yang, there is still no news of the launch time on Sony's side, and there is no abnormal movement in Nintendo's chain stores......" Wang Zhe called from Japan, saying that he had found nothing, "Maybe they are really ready to take a look at our sales in the first few days, and the waiting time of one or two days is not much different for them." ”

Yang Yun was looking at the trial print of the October issue sent by Volkswagen Software with international airlines, and asked casually: "Is there any movement on the side of Columbia Pictures?" ”

Wang Zhe was a little stunned, what does "Zombie Siege" have to do with the movie?

Yang Yun glanced at another Famitong magazine spread out on the table, and asked rhetorically: "On the release day, we Longteng will invite the film crew of "Resident Evil" to help sign the sale, can't Sony think of a signing ceremony for a new movie?" ”

Wang Zhe understood, but he was very unsure: "Mr. Yang, do you say that Sony really has such a big courage?" If they do this, there is really no way back, no matter how well "Zombies Siege" sells, they will definitely make it into a movie and an anime. Whether it's a loss or a loss, they will definitely make it a boutique game on the PS platform. ”

Yang Yun disagreed: "This world is so big. It's impossible for us to take all the good games, right? They have all been driven to a dead end by us, how bad can they be? Even if it's a movie. There is only one protagonist in "Zombie Siege", and Sony has its own film special effects studio, which can be completed with a total investment of no more than 30 million US dollars, even if it loses, it will not lose anywhere. Let them go, you must know that the higher you hold, the more painful it hurts, and the greater your expectations. The greater the disappointment! ”

Wang Zhe hung up the phone and continued to inquire about the news, he also realized that Sony may really use the energy of the whole company to fight this battle, if so, Sony's output value of more than 20 billion US dollars, Longteng is not even one-third of them, this absolute strength gap, is likely to make Longteng suffer a fatal blow.

Originally, the two companies decided to go on sale at the same time on October 1 half a year ago. Fight sales, but not long ago, after the 1.01 rule of NHK interview, Sony suddenly announced that the original release time was canceled, which also affected the work plan and arrangement of Longteng's side.

However, the dragon was only slightly affected. If there is no opponent in the ring by then, how boring it will be!

Yang Yun ordered Longteng to release it according to the original plan, except for the publicity period that began in August. Last week, Luc Besson will be carrying a film promo. and Sophie Marceau in the crew, Pierce Brosnan, the two heroes and heroines participated in the Japanese launch of the "Resident Evil" game. Build momentum for the game, and by the way, kick off the movie promotion.

These are all dignified moves, and they are the most commonly used means of game release, and no one can jump out of the fault.

In terms of publicity, Volkswagen Software is of course full of praise for the "Resident Evil" game, they got the game disc in advance, let the editor-in-chief Li Jian personally write the editor-in-chief's press, and put it in the best section of the publicity, give a platinum palace-level evaluation, and highly recommend this 18+ game to players around the world.

Famitong is not to be outdone, they also got Sony's game disc in advance, and then strongly recommended "Zombie Siege", and also gave a platinum palace evaluation of 38 points, and did it against the big soft!

Yang Yun read this article in detail, pondered, and felt that things were not as simple as he thought, he believed that Sony would lose this time, but it would not necessarily lose particularly badly.

In his memory, Dead Men Siege was also produced by Capcom, but it was launched in 2006 and on Xbox, which would happen ten years later!

Yang Yun knows the names and contents of these two zombie games, but who led the design, he doesn't know Lu Dao, unless it is a name that has appeared in the game media for a long time such as Yamauchi Pu, Miyamoto Shigeru, and Miyamoto Masashi, and the names of ordinary Japanese game designers, Yang Yun cannot remember them all.

Both of these are protagonists surrounded by zombies, but the focus of the content is very different, "Resident Evil" is an activity in the Western Museum, the theme is exploration and puzzle solving, and there is not much contact with zombies.

And "Zombie Siege" is to survive 72 hours in a large shopping mall, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, communicating with the survivors in the mall by the way, doing rescue missions, doing secret revealing tasks, and killing zombies like mowing grass by the way.

The former pays attention to the compact and mysterious plot, a rich set of plots, even the most experienced veteran players, with the infinite grenades/shotguns that are cheating out, it will take a few hours to play and clear the customs.

And the latter, it is purely endless killing, there are hundreds of weapons in the mall, Frank can use them at will to deal with zombies, hammers, hammers, baseball bats, combination of ironclad maces, Frank takes these weapons, shatters the limbs of the zombies, spews out a black blood mist all over the sky, destroys as much as he wants, full of violence and blood.

Yang Yun shook his head, he was careless at first, he thought that in ten years, it would be impossible for Sony people to make the same "Zombie Siege" game, and from the news from Kawashima Gong, the PS version of "Zombie Siege" did not meet his expectations.

The news brought by Kawashima Gong is that the PS version of the main clue of the game has been designed, Frank needs to complete about 30 main side quests, and then he can pass the level, the game venue is a two-story supermarket, and the underground parking lot outside the supermarket, zombies appear inside the supermarket, just behind the shelves, and the only safe place in the entire game area is the staff passage and tally area.

However, the content of the Fami-pass review is very different from the information provided by Kawashima Ko, and the game is actually made of Frank and the surviving employees fighting their way through the exit of the underground parking lot.

In this way, the focus of "Zombie Siege" has changed from defensive exploration to active killing of a bloody road, then its level of blood and violence may be raised to a heinous level, this is definitely a heavy zombie game, the main focus is violent and refreshing, compared to the few zombies in the "Resident Evil" foreign museum, in terms of killing coolness, Dragon Teng is not as good as Sony.

Could it be that this competition will really turn into a tormenting war?

Zhao Yongping knocked on the door and came in, and said in a deep voice: "All the Sony stores in the country, game dealers who have a good relationship with Sony in Japan, Jiang Yang has already arranged his eyeliner and has been staring at them, and he can cooperate with our orders at any time." ”

Yang Yun nodded: "Let's find a way from the classification, although the Chinese market is not big, but we can't underestimate it, we must be optimistic, this is our base camp, we can't lose it!" In addition, the price of Sony PS games is now ridiculously low, a disc of a large and medium-sized game sells for less than $10, and they are viciously competing with us, subsidizing the disc profits with the profits of the PS console and memory sticks! ”

Zhao Yongping is well aware of this method: "I know what you mean, in terms of industry and commerce and taxation, I will be a little more careful, they will press the price to near the cost line, there will definitely be someone to find a way to deceive, many dealers in China are interests first!" ”

The two continued to discuss countermeasures, and after a while, Yuan Xinyi also walked in and said seriously: "Mr. Yang, the legal department has contacted a number of lawyers in the United States and Japan, and the relationship between the media has also been done. ”

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, now he was much more relieved: "You can't blame me for being too ruthless, to deal with Sony, I have to consider every detail, and all kinds of means must be used......"

……

On October 1, in a medium-sized conference room at the headquarters of Sega in Japan, Longteng held a "Resident Evil" game press conference.

The most popular thing is, of course, the game demo.

In the center of the booth is a 150-inch back projection screen, 3 meters by 2.4 meters, and an adult man only needs to take four or five steps to walk from one end to the other.

This is Yang Yun's deliberate request,Because of the limitation of SShost performance,If it is enlarged to4 meters or 6 meters of curtain,The flaws in the game will be infinitely magnified,And the average ordinary home TV is only21 inches,It's only50 centimeters。

Yang Yun personally introduced the game, he wore a short-sleeved T-shirt, tied inside dark blue ordinary jeans, coupled with his round-framed glasses, short hair, and if it is matched with the stubble of half of his face, it is a copy of Jobs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues in the game industry, friends from the media, welcome to your arrival, today you will accompany me to witness the birth of a zombie world, I believe, this game will cause a new trend of horror games!"

The interior lights gradually dimmed, a helicopter appeared on the rear projection screen, and the speakers hidden around the conference room perfectly transmitted the sound of the high-speed rotor.

The Alpha Team is looking for another group that has lost contact, and several characters wearing flying helmets appear in turn on the screen, and the 3-meter curtain just adapts to the maximum value of the high-resolution, so that the audience has the feeling of watching a movie, and even has doubts and illusions, is this a game, or a trailer for a movie?

Long Teng's CG technique, can it do this? All the gamers were blown away!
