Chapter 291: Sale

Soon, Kim felt like he was basically getting used to the game.

I have to say that "Resident Evil" feels very appropriate, it will make you feel terrifying, but not so scared that you don't want to play; Its puzzle solving is a bit crazy, but as long as you memorize your way and search for some clues carefully, you can basically get through; It's sparse in resources, but it's not completely underwhelming, it's tight at best, and it's because of the scarcity of resources that players feel great every time they get ammo and power-ups.

LAO JIN FINALLY COMPLETED THE DEMO CONTENT IN 23 POINTS, WHICH IS QUITE FAST FOR A GAME OMNI DEVICE.

"That's it? …… It's on the rise! ”

Lao Jin was speechless, he just felt that the game was getting better, and the trial process was over.

A line appeared on the screen: "Thank you for playing." Do you buy a game? ”

"BUY, OF COURSE I BUY, OTHERWISE I'M NOT BLIND IN THIS GAME OMNI?"

"And...... This quality is really unexpected.,It's hard to imagine that this is made by a Chinese game manufacturer.,Shimmer Studio is really something.。 ”

Lao Jin directly clicked [Yes] to jump to the product detail page.

Lao Jin has been immersed in the game before, and he didn't think much about many things, but now after leaving the game, Lao Jin suddenly realized that this is the work of Huaxia manufacturers!

In the past, similar game experiences could only be experienced by Western manufacturers, and only a few large manufacturers could achieve this level, but now, Shimmer Studio can also make such a sophisticated game?

Think about the scenes, models, zombie movements, styling, sound effects in the game...... and so on, all accurate to the details of the movie version, this almost indistinguishable game experience from the real one, so that Lao Jin is completely immersed in it.

I didn't even feel any signs of Huaxia Games and Shimmer Studios, and it completely reached the same level as the top games in the West, which was what surprised Lao Jin the most, and it was also the reason why he decided to buy it.

Just looking at this quality, as long as the plot behind the game is not unfinished, then it is definitely worth buying!

There are two items in the list: 299 for the regular edition and 349 for the deluxe edition.

Lao Jin took a look, and the difference between the deluxe version and the regular version is that there are many more unique appearances, including the protagonist's costume and gun modeling, as well as a new soundtrack.

THE MAIN CHARACTER'S COSTUME STYLING IS MAINLY FOR PC AND CONSOLE PLATFORMS, AND THE GAME OMNI PLATFORM IS A LITTLE MORE SPECIAL, BECAUSE IT IS A FIRST-PERSON PERSPECTIVE, AND THE PLAYER CAN'T SEE WHAT THE CHARACTER IS WEARING IN MOST CASES.

BUT THE PRICING IS STILL THE SAME, BECAUSE ZHONG MING CAN'T AFFORD TO MAKE A SEPARATE DELUXE EDITION FOR THE GAME OMNI PLATFORM.

“…… It's a little expensive. ”

"Well, it's not expensive, it's just a little more expensive than I thought."

Many people are already familiar with the last console work of Shimmer Studio, "Zodiac Guardian" only sells for 150 yuan.

And this time, the price of the ordinary version has also doubled directly, coming to the 300 level, which is already the horizontal line of many 3A masterpieces.

However, relatively speaking, it is still cheap. There is often a price difference between the console platform and the PC platform for the same game, and the console is generally more expensive, and it is common for some Western game masterpieces to sell for four or five hundred yuan. "RESIDENT EVIL" IS THE SAME PRICE ON CONSOLE, PC, AND GAME OMNI, WHICH IS QUITE CONSCIENTIOUS.

Lao Jin's first reaction was "a little expensive", of course, saying that "Resident Evil" is more expensive than Shimmer Studio's previous games.

However, Lao Jin did not hesitate much, and directly bought the deluxe version.

After all, the quality of the game is here, and Lao Jin feels that this game is definitely worth playing, not to mention that the price is not too high in terms of quality.

"This game is still good.,If you're interested, you can try it out.,You can also play it on the computer without GAME OMNI.,Anyway, anyone can try it.,And you don't need money.。

Lao Jin also helped promote "Resident Evil" by the way.

……

On the Internet, the news about the demo version of "Resident Evil" is also spreading very quickly.

"Did you hear that? Resident Evil is ready to play. ”

"What's the game?"

"Shimmer Studio's new work, isn't there a promotional video for the Star Tour Carnival."

"Ready to try? Don't want money, right? ”

"No money, everyone can play for 30 minutes, anyway, play and see, and don't suffer losses."

Many players just found "Resident Evil" on the Shimmer game platform with the mentality of "free trial and loss if you don't play" and downloaded the demo version.

The experience given to players by the demo version is quite good, and the biggest feeling for players is that the quality of this game is unexpectedly high!

After all, Zhong Ming and Shimmer Studio have worked hard for a long time, as the longest game produced by Shimmer Studio so far, "Resident Evil" basically represents the highest level that the studio can achieve at present, whether it is the accuracy of game materials, the motion capture of actors, etc., all of which are benchmarked against world-class game manufacturers, and the effect is not inferior to Western triple-A masterpieces.

Moreover, this just right amount of horror, as well as the rich game content, have made many players pay for pre-orders.

……

Shimmer Studio, on its part, is still working hard to improve the follow-up game content to ensure that the game can be released on time.

Zhong Ming, on the other hand, made a trip to Moya Technology and signed an agreement with Lin Xiaoguang like a formality, so that "Resident Evil" could be launched on the MGC2 handheld platform.

"Resident Evil" must be undoubted on the PC side, just hang it directly on the Shimmer game platform.

Zhong Ming didn't think about which console platform to cooperate with, there are a lot of consoles on the market at present, but there is no one that really dominates the world, so if it doesn't work, there will be a few more, anyway, the game "Resident Evil" will never be signed exclusively.

As for the MGC2 handheld, they are all old friends, so it is logical to send it.

"Teacher Zhong is here, please come in, Mr. Lin is inside." Lin Xiaoguang's assistant welcomed Zhong Ming in.

Lin Xiaoguang was busy, and when he saw Zhong Ming coming, he got up and stood up: "Teacher Zhong, come and sit." Did the Resident Evil protocol bring? ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "Well, your assistant has already taken it to the legal department." How about it, has Mr. Lin's resignation procedures started to go through the process? ”

"Resignation procedures?" Lin Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Mr. Zhong, you are confident enough, the official version of "Resident Evil" has not been made yet, and you are already thinking about me?" ”

"Of course, Moya Technology is a large company, you are the vice president, you should mention it as soon as possible, it took too much time to save the handover work and delay my affairs." Zhong Mingle sat down on the sofa, casually took an MGC2 handheld next to him, and looked at the performance of the demo version of "Resident Evil" on the handheld.

Lin Xiaoguang laughed: "Mr. Zhong, I was a little panicked when I saw the quality of "Resident Evil", but you are too confident in pricing, right?" If this game is still priced at about 150 like "Zodiac Guardian", it is really possible to break two million sales. But if you set the price to 299, it will definitely seriously affect the sales, and it will be difficult to break two million. ”

"Hey, people have to dig, money has to be earned, I have a blood loss at 150, it is impossible to price 150."

The two chatted for a while, and soon the assistant got the contract back. The legal department confirmed that there was no problem with the contract, and it was officially signed.

Resident Evil will be available on the MGC2 handheld as scheduled, adding a new addition to the handheld game library.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, have you seen GAME OMNI?" Zhong Ming suddenly thought of a question.

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "I've seen it, what's the matter?" ”

"Is the technology complicated? You should be able to do that too, right? ”

"It can be done, but I'm skeptical about the future of this thing." Lin Xiaoguang does not seem to be very high in nature, "At present, compared with the industrial chain of hosts, handhelds, bracelets and other industrial chains, simulators have always been a very cutting-edge but impractical thing." GAME OMNI DOES COME UP WITH A DECENT SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT, AND THE PRICE OF THIS SET OF DEVICES IS NOT TOO HIGH, AND ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN AFFORD IT, BUT THE KEY IS THAT IT IS NOT CERTAIN WHETHER IT CAN FORM A TREND. ”

Zhong Mingdian groaned: "I think there is still a lot of room for development of this thing, at least in the short term, the direct competitors of the simulator are all consoles, and this will be a very key transition product before it can really make a good VR device." ”

Lin Xiaoguang smiled: "Yes, it's the same truth." However, most of the manufacturers who make simulators now are for financing and speculating on concepts, and there are not many companies that really make products in a down-to-earth manner, and GAME OMNI just happened to do something in a large group of simulator manufacturers that fooled people, so it just stood out. In fact, as far as those techniques are concerned, I learned about them, and they are not particularly difficult to do. ”

"Can Mr. Lin make it?" Zhong Ming asked.

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while: "If you have money, you will definitely be able to make it." But the point is that Moya Technology will never spend money to do this kind of thing, it makes no sense. The senior management of Moya Technology has not had much affection for similar simulator projects, probably because they have done simulator projects before, and they have lost all their money. ”

"Then Mr. Lin, you can prepare a little, and when you come to my side, the first project is likely to make an emulator similar to GAME OMNI." Zhong Ming said.

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhong, what you say is right." By the way, which console platform for "Resident Evil" do you plan to go on? ”

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "It's good to have a few more, and you can talk about the current mainstream host models." It's a pity that I don't have my own host in my hands now, otherwise I would have been directly exclusive, and there would not be so many things. ”

Lin Xiaoguang said: "The exclusive use of its own host will definitely drag down sales." ”

The two of them chatted casually for a few more words, and Zhong Ming got up to say goodbye.

It seems that although Lin Xiaoguang has seen the demo version of "Resident Evil", he is still skeptical that this game can sell 1 million copies.

Of course, Lin Xiaoguang's main suspicion comes from the price, "Resident Evil" is priced at 299 on all platforms, although it is not expensive in terms of the pricing of Western 3A masterpieces, but for the consistent pricing strategy of Shimmer Studios, this time it is obviously attacking the high-priced game area, and it is really hard to say whether it will succeed or fail.

……

A month later, Resident Evil was officially released!

During this time, Shimmer Studio also contacted several relatively large console manufacturers, and finally signed agreements with three of them, while the others failed to reach an agreement due to price or other reasons.

However, it's almost enough to have three console platforms, although the host player base is huge, but most of them also coincide with PC players, anyway, they are all 299, where to buy are bought, if you can't buy it on the console, most people go back to the PC side to buy, so it won't have such a big impact on sales.

And players who pre-ordered the game in advance like Lao Jin will start the full version of "Resident Evil" experience immediately on the day of release!

It didn't take long for videos and discussions of Resident Evil to spread on the Internet, and the attitude of players towards the game was unanimous!

"it, I'm completely scared of this game!"

"The atmosphere is amazing, but it's very different from other horror games, it's really scary, but I can endure it all the time."

"The map design is simply amazing! I haven't walked out of the police station for three hours, how this place is so accessible, so complicated, how this level is designed! ”

"Shimmer Studio is good, it comes with Chinese voice, and there is no sense of disobedience, give a thumbs up to the dubbing team!"

"I don't have to say anything about the picture, the details are very rich, and the character modeling and performance are also in place. The combat aspect can be said to be very exciting, the zombie intensity is very high, and I chose to respond passively instead of actively shooting for most of the game, mainly because the amount of ammunition is too tight! But it's also a good way to show the technology. ”

"The footsteps of the tyrant are really too frightening! I've never been late since I used this sound as an alarm......"

"This King Ida is too pretty, isn't it? It's a feeling of oriental beauty, licking and exploding! ”

"It's a bit inappropriate to blow it up, but I really want to say: Resident Evil is almost a lesson in horror puzzle shooter design!"

"Puzzle solving and good script handling can lead to a wonderful sense of accomplishment; Horror games can also have a very good replay experience with excellent level design; The box garden design with narrow space and high map utilization rate is refreshing! ”

"It's been years since I've experienced this terrifying feeling in the game, running out of ammunition and food, being chased and killed by a tyrant, and my mentality has collapsed!"

"The zombies in here are really scary, not only the iron braincase, but you don't know if you're really dead when you fall to the ground, there are often zombies jumping up and biting you, and the zombies you have walked through and beaten often have to be beaten again, this feeling is amazing......"

Soon, major game media have rated the game, and the world's most authoritative IGP directly gave the game a score of 9.5, and another classic masterpiece was born!

From the player's evaluation of this game, you can probably see why "Resident Evil" can get such a high rating.

First of all, Resident Evil brings a new sense of horror to players, and the game finds a good balance between horror games and zombie games, which keeps players constantly in fear and makes the in-game story and settings seem highly realistic, and is not designed to scare players.

Of course, horror games are not as scary as possible, it should be moderate, and the tolerance level of most players should be considered, otherwise most people will be scared to refund, who will buy it?

Resident Evil does a very good job at this, and it is indeed terrifying, but the level of horror is slowly increasing step by step, and players are constantly adapting.

In the process, players can always experience the feeling of horror and adrenaline rush, so as not to get bored, and at the same time always within the player's tolerance level, even if there are occasional failures, players can quickly learn from them, read the file and overcome difficulties.
