Chapter 1513 - Pokemon Water Fire
"Zhong Yu, how is the situation of E3 this time?" After finishing the disaster relief, Boss Jia began to care about what happened two months ago.
"Anyway, it's basically normal, but there are some surprises!" Zhong Yu said with a smile. Immediately afterwards, Zhong Yu made a detailed report to Boss Jia.
The so-called basic normality refers to Daqian's dominance in E3 as always, with the largest venue, the largest audience, and the best games released in the entire E3.
In this year's E3, Daqian alone released 18 games, many of which are well-known in another world, such as the belated release of Warcraft 2 by Blizzard Studios, and the sequel to a series of previous classic games such as Grand Theft Auto 2 launched by R Star.
In addition, there are new works such as the Lone Gunner, etc.
Similarly, this year's E3 also has the most powerful sequel "Pokemon Water Fire", and before you know it, Pokemon has also ushered in the 3rd generation of the game. [In fact, the name of the 3rd generation is "Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald", but Boss Jia felt that it was different from the previous words, there was some disharmony, and obsessive-compulsive disorder attacked, so it was changed to water and fire. 】
But to be honest, this third-generation Pokemon has not made much progress, and basically continues the style of the second-generation Pokemon Gold and Silver.
Although there are a lot of improvements in the graphics quality, there are also a lot of new ways to play the gameplay, such as a new character system and gorgeous tournaments.
However, in essence, there is nothing to surpass, after all, the platform is still a platform that has changed by thousands of machines, and if the hardware level has not changed, then the game quality of "Pokemon" will be difficult to have a qualitative leap.
But even for such a game that is a bit suspicious of eating old books, just announcing the pre-sale time on E3 and releasing the first promotional trailer immediately caused a frenzy in the audience.
It is said that more than 20,000 spectators in the entire venue flocked to Daqian's booth at that time, and many people directly sang the most classic 1st generation TV animation OP of "Pokemon" "It's You!" , so that countless people saw this scene, and they were moved to tears.
And the results of the pre-sale also lived up to expectations, achieving a number that was unimaginable to all players and manufacturers.
One thing to say here is that since Daqian released a new game in the first E3 and started the pre-sale of the game, after two or three years of development, E3 has become the best place for almost all game manufacturers to pre-sell or release new games.
The reason is very simple, because if the manufacturer holds a pre-sale of the game alone, then there is a high probability that no one cares about it, singing a one-man show, and few players will come to cheer.
It's very embarrassing to write like this, not to mention, and the propaganda effect is also terrible.
But it's different in E3, first of all, E3 doesn't have enough foot traffic, and any game will not be pre-sold without player attention.
Secondly, because players pay more attention, as long as the quality of the pre-sold game is good enough, or the promotional video is reported, then it can further attract the attention of the media and achieve good sales results.
As a result, many game companies have released new games on E3, and as a result, many players have developed the habit of looking for interesting new games on E3, which further prompts manufacturers to release games on E3.
With such a positive push, E3 is naturally the best place for pre-sales and launches.
And because the Steam Game Store has basically dominated the offline market of the entire game sales, the Steam Game Store will announce the pre-sale results during the E3 period after E3 ends, and then release a leaderboard, which has become a place for countless game companies to compete.
Well, although the top of the annual charts, and even the top three, are basically products of Daqian Games, as long as they can enter the top ten, that is enough.
As for Daqian, it's a monster, and everyone just treats him as if he doesn't exist.
However, this year's game manufacturers found that it was impossible to treat Daqian as non-existent, because Daqian's "Pokemon Water and Fire" actually achieved an unprecedented 4.62 million copies of horror pre-sale sales in just 3 days of pre-sale.
In just three days, 4.62 million copies were sold, which made countless game companies kneel, you know, "Warcraft 2" ranked second
3 days is only 500,000 pre-sales, this 4.62 million results, so that countless gamers feel as if they are pressed by the Himalayas.
Many game companies, the sales of all games together do not have this sales and data, and nearly 5 million sales have been sold in just three days, "Pokemon" deserves to be the number one game IP in the game world now, which is really amazing!
Well, the main reason for such amazing results is that Daqian Games launched online pre-registration for the first time.
When all stand-alone games were still released on offline platforms, Boss Jia had already set his sights on the Internet, and at the same time took the lead in launching online pre-sales.
Players don't have to participate in E3, they only need to move their fingers online, enter the official website of Pokemon, register as a member, and then they can pre-sell directly through the Internet.
And you don't need to pay a penny for pre-sale, just register your name, address, any ID number, and go to the steam shop where you want to buy it.
This is the fundamental reason for the explosion of pre-sale results, otherwise the entire E3 three-day time, that is, about 100,000 traffic, where may there be 4.62 million pre-sale results.
But it is undeniable that the "Pokemon" of this world, under the operation of Daqian, already has a more powerful influence than the "Pokemon" of the other world.
After all, "Pokemon" is an animated movie with a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars every year, two episodes of TV animation every week, or a pocket electronic pet, Pokemon Global Championship, and a variety of peripherals and activities, which continue to extend and promote the influence of "Pokemon".
This is much more than Nintendo in another world, Nintendo has not actually done any Pokemon promotion except for games and TV anime.
The promotions you see are actually the promotions that many brands spend their own money to use the influence of Pokemon, and they even need to pay for licensing, which shows how fucked up Nintendo is in the other world.
Compared with Nintendo, the world's Daqian continues to maintain and promote "Pokemon" much more powerfully, and tens of millions of dollars have to be spent in the global market every year.
Nowadays, not only developed countries, but it is said that even billboards in Africa under the scorching sun can be seen Pokemon promotional advertisements.
Pokemon is truly the most famous game in all countries in the world, and the number one IP in the gaming industry worthy of the name.
