Chapter 1348 E3 Year 3
In the next month, Boss Jia has been accompanying his wife and children, and he didn't even go to E3 over there.
But this time there is no need to go, because this year Daqian does not have any new tricks in E3, just to release some new games.
One of the more important games is probably the trailers of Red Alert 2 and Warcraft 2, which have been released successively, and have set off a huge wave in the entire game circle.
What Boss Jia didn't expect was that when "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" was announced, the whole scene actually carnivaled, although the call was lower than the previous two games, but it was the third highest game cheer in the audience.
This made the entire production team of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" very excited, and they always thought that their game was a game that no one liked and gave away for free.
In fact, the entire Daqian game is full of controversy about whether to make "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2", because looking at the data in all aspects, the data of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not good.
Although the total sales volume is as high as more than 50 million copies, everyone knows that this is a game that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a game that is bought and given away by thousands of machines, and the sales it sells have nothing to do with the quality of the game itself.
So many people think that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a very bad game, and it is not worth making a sequel to it, until Boss Jia personally makes the decision, and this game has the possibility of a sequel.
So when the production team of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" saw the audience cheering, the production team was extremely moved when they went online, it seems that they are not without fans.
The fact is that even if a game is terrible, even if it is given away for free, as long as more than 50 million copies are given away worldwide, it has a huge fan.
After all, Qianji Change is the first game for many children who have never played a game console, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" will become the first game they play, and this feeling is incomparable in any way.
In fact, the entire production team did not conduct a detailed survey, and if they went to BBS around the world to investigate, they would find that the number of forum users of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is actually the fourth largest game forum in the world after Pokemon and Diablo, as well as Super Mario.
All over the world, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" already has a huge number of fans.
In addition, Daqian Games has also announced the production plan of more than 30 games, of course, many of them are just cannon fodder, but as long as one of them can rise, then it can bring huge profits.
In addition, the most important news on the scene is the performance of the Steam game store.
At the E3 scene, Zhong Yu, president of Daqian Games, excitedly announced that after nearly a year of development, the Steam Game Store has 2,321 offline physical stores around the world, and 892 games have landed on the Steam Game Store.
Over the course of a year, the Steam Store sold 723 million copies of the game, delighting a total of 98.75 million players worldwide!
Then the Steam Store announced two rankings for the game for the whole year, the first sales leaderboard and the other player rating leaderboard!
Because players in the Steam Store can fill in a review of the game and send it back to the Steam Store after purchasing the game, this game review ranking appears.
Needless to say, the game sales list is simply the sales ranking, and then the first place is "Pokemon Gold and Silver", which sold a total of 46.82 million copies from July last year to July this year, and its strength is undoubted.
Then there's StarCraft.
Then there's go-kart
Anyway, in the top 10 list, Daqian Games' self-produced games occupy 7 positions, and the remaining two belong to EA's Genesis and Capcom's Street Fighter, and finally Microsoft's Age of Empires.
That's right, Microsoft, a company that doesn't seem to be very involved in the gaming industry at the moment, has also launched Age of Empires, a game that has such an important significance in the history of gaming.
So when Microsoft announced the release of the game on the Steam Store, it also made many industry bigwigs exclaim, the wolf is here again.
Hey, why do you say again?
As for why Microsoft chose to release its own games on the Steam Store, this is normal, because the Steam Game Store has now become the largest game chain store in the world, and Microsoft does not have its own game distribution platform, so it is the best choice to release games on Steam.
This is a very normal business decision and there is nothing wrong with it.
In fact, after the release of the sales ranking of steam games, it did not cause much surprise, because this ranking can be calculated according to various data that has been released a long time ago, and all players already know the order of this leaderboard, what other surprises are there?
However, when the game rating ranking appeared, a shocking scene appeared, because the game that finally won the first place on the ranking was actually "Zelda Ocarina of Time".
That's right, this number one game is not Daqian's game, or even any game under the Steam game platform, but "Serda Ocarina of Time", which was not released on the Steam game platform at all, from Nintendo's N64 game platform, which was only released on December 31, 96.
Historically, this game was released in 98, but because the current game market is far worse than another world, in the case of Nintendo's power, the biggest masterpiece on N64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, was actually released on the N64 platform more than a year in advance.
But no one thought that it was this game that finally dominated the first place in the rating rankings.
Ask yourself, is Serda Ocarina of Time really the best game of '96?
This is certain for most game media people, and even players, because "Zelda Ocarina of Time" is so good, and even in the 2018 selection of the world's top 100 games in history, "Serda Ocarina of Time" can rank second, and the quality of the game is undoubted.
It's just that how did Daqian really give this top spot on the list to Nintendo's games?
In fact, even if Daqian does not give it, it will not have any impact, and it will not affect the fairness of the entire ranking too much.
Because of the ranking of Daqian's selection, all players default to the game that is sold in the Steam game store, "Zelda Ocarina of Time" did not land in the store at all, he has actually been excluded from the shortlist by all relevant people a long time ago, without him, it is the most normal.
