Chapter Ninety-Five: Gradual Terror

Although it is a horror game, thanks to the advance promotion of UEgame, the global sales of Resident Evil reached 2 million copies on the first day, compared to triple-A games, this number is not very high, but compared with similar games in the horror genre, this number is already very high. 126shu

Among them, 700,000 copies were sold in China, and 1.3 million copies were sold overseas, including North America, Europe, Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions.

Regarding the performance of Resident Evil, Yang Chen didn't know about it for the first time, because he had a more important thing to do.

In a VR reality experience hall in Jiang City, Yang Chen followed a person in charge to communicate.

Because VR equipment has not yet become popular, most ordinary players basically do not have any VR equipment, but in the major first- and second-tier cities, there are still many corresponding VR game experience halls.

However, the price is still very expensive, about 30 yuan for an hour, and some experience halls with a better environment may be more expensive.

Briefly said some things, looking at the back of Yang Chen leaving, the owner of the experience hall, who was already a forty-year-old bald uncle, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Play, or young people can play.

Inside the studio of Jiasheng Games.

Guo Shengan and Wang Changan were sitting in the office, and the big screen in front of them was playing the game of Resident Evil.

The names of the two men are quite similar, but they have nothing to do with each other.

"How?"

Wang Changan suddenly asked Guo Shengan.

Guo Shengan had no expression on his face, looking at the Resident Evil picture on the big screen, he seemed very serious, even though Leon, who was the protagonist on the screen, had already been pounced on by two zombies and planted strawberries: "The terrifying atmosphere and the extreme tension created after the appearance of the tyrant, in the face of countless zombies, on the one hand, you need to decrypt survival, on the other hand, the background of the game shows a big main line, the source of the virus and the conspiracy behind it; And this game seems to be "

Guo Sheng paused and didn't speak, Wang Changan took over the other party's words: "The series of games that I have planned to make from the beginning are different from ordinary IPs, which are only ready to be serialized after they are popular, and many details of this game can be easily made into sequels." ”

Looking at the bloody and terrifying picture on the screen, Wang Changan touched his chin and said.

In the game, Claire finds Chris's notebook in the police office, as well as the story behind the virus development company, and who asked King Ada to come to capture the virus, which can easily be highlighted as a sequel story.

"But the most surprising thing is Yang Chen's handling of horror games, if Escape is a game that makes a small number of horror game crowds carnival, but most interested players are persuaded to quit, then there is no doubt that Resident Evil is definitely a horror game for the whole family." Guo Shengan said with emotion.

Although the soul hand he developed before was also labeled as horror and suspense, he actually understood very well that it was more about the action elements, and he focused mainly on the action elements.

But Resident Evil is completely different, it is looking for a very suitable horror line, the dilemma of tension and pressure and lack of resources, all the time to trouble the player, the whole game in the fight against zombies, at the same time, to create a sense of danger, only when you really play can you experience this thrill.

"The gradual terror is like fat house water, as long as you drink the first sip, you can't help but take the second sip." Wang Changan smiled and made a metaphor that was probably not so appropriate.

As a horror game, looking at Resident Evil from the very beginning, you might think that he is not scary.

The prologue at the beginning of the truck driver crashing into a zombie, Leon's encounter with Claire at the police station, including the game clips of searching the block to enter the police station, is not very scary.

But in fact, it is the whole game that allows the player to experience fear step by step and mobilize the player's emotions.

For example, first encounter zombies, and then slowly encounter monsters such as lickers, zombie dogs, and tyrants.

As a horror game, the unsolvable monster gives the player the strongest sense of oppression, and the same is true for Resident Evil, and the tyrant encountered in the middle of the game after the early stage of the game is such a monster.

Unsolvable monster horror game, shouldn't it be extremely hideous?

But in Resident Evil, tyrants aren't that scary, at least in terms of their looks.

He looks polite in a jacket and wears a small hat on his head to hide his wrinkled face.

Except for the occasional leather shoe that makes the player panic, and the player's head will be pinched and exploded at a glance, he looks quite cute.

"But as soon as this game comes out, the title of the top ten indie gamers of the year probably has nothing to do with him." Guo Shengan thought of something and said with a smile.

Once a year, the official ranking of game producers, but this list is only limited to independent game producers, and before relying on the combination of Isaac and Octopath Traveler and escape and see, the first may be a little difficult, but it shouldn't be a problem to enter the top three.

But as soon as this Resident Evil came out, Yang Chen was not included in the selection in an instant, and it sounds like this award is a bit rigid, after all, there is not

Isaac's combination of these games, but that's the official rule.

In fact, most game producers don't care much about this award, and everyone in the game industry knows that the real awesome thing is to look at the game developed.

Except for someone in Nebula Studios.

In the office, Xu Yu sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, if you can get the first place, Mr. Yang, you will definitely be able to increase a lot of heat if you run it well." ”

Xu Yu, who has formulated a star game producer, expressed great pity for this news.

If you want to increase the popularity, the best way is to appear in the eyes of the majority of players.

In his opinion, this is definitely a very good opportunity, but after a little understanding of the backfire, he found that Yang Chen, who developed the birth crisis, seemed to have no chance with this selection.

Facing Xu Yu's look of pity, Yang Chen didn't pay attention, but looked at the latest news about Resident Evil.

It's been a few days since the release of Resident Evil, and some hardcore players who have exploded their livers have almost successfully cleared Resident Evil with related game media.

The heat of the crisis has completely spread, and various live broadcast platforms and video platforms, saying a little exaggerated word have almost been slaughtered.

It's just that compared to the horror elements in Resident Evil, the vast majority of players don't seem to be focusing here.
