Chapter 50: Controversy Before the Game Release

"I'm looking forward to the new game from Goat Star Studios, and judging from the latest leaked short gameplay videos, Goat Star Studios has caught up with the times in terms of game graphics this time. Of course, I believe that the opening animation of "Shattered Star" must be as gorgeous as the first four works of Goat Star Studio. ”

"The gorgeous opening animation seems to have become a tradition at Goat Star Studios."

"Looking forward to November 11th, what kind of world will "Shattered Star" enter us?"

November 11th is the release day of "Shattered Star" set by Su Mo, and it will be released simultaneously on Steam, Xboxone and Ps4 platforms. The main reason why Singles' Day was chosen as the release date of the game is that during this time, there are no big games released in the game industry, and those big games are rushing to be released at Christmas to compete for the Christmas game market.

Taking advantage of the vacuum period of the game to release, it can often achieve good sales. There have been many examples to refer to, among which the best seller is undoubtedly Ubisoft's Watch Dogs. The real picture quality of "Watch Dogs" is several levels worse than the original demo picture quality, and it is called "Shrinking Dogs" by players, but even so, it still sold more than 4 million sets in the first week!

Therefore, it is extremely important for indie game studios to choose the right release time.

Su Mo roughly glanced at the recent game media reports on "Shattered Star", and the well-known game media in China all had positive reviews. Most of the foreign countries are also positive, but there are still some media who frantically smear "Shattered Star" and smear Goat Star Studio.

"A liar game studio that deceives players with its opening animation boasts of being able to make a triple-A masterpiece in just two months. Does this studio from Huaguo take the players and other top studios for fools? In the game industry, R Star sharpened his sword in five years to complete "GTA5". Strong naughty dog, it takes three years to produce a 3A-level masterpiece! ”

"Goat Star Studios, an independent studio from Huaguo, a group of hypocritical gamers who pretend to be mysterious! Please tell me, what are they capable of completing a triple-A masterpiece in two months? ”

"I'm not looking forward to Goat Studios' latest title, Shattered Star, which is a game that copies the Halo setting! Chinese gamers are all shameless plagiarists! ”

"Trash! Huaguo Game Company is all rubbish! Only know how to deceive consumers! Deceive the players! Profanity game! Goat Star, should get out of the gaming world! ”

The above comment is from a game magazine that starts with P, the same game media that was hacked by Somer's server last time, and this game media is back to give EA creative director Miles an interview. The above comments are all from the mouth of Miles.

Speaking of which, Miles is also an 'old friend' of Goat Star Studio, from the very beginning to Juno to discuss the acquisition, and later stuffed money into the game magazine to slander "Beast Soccer: Origins", slander Goat Star Studio, and now he is talking wildly. Su Mo felt that the game industry needed such a well-known figure to give free publicity to Goat Star Studios.

In fact, the electronic equipment market, such as notebooks, mobile phones, game consoles, etc., has a popular saying, that is, sales slap in the face. In fact, the product has been recognized by the market, no matter how much you have, as long as the sales volume is awesome, it is a successful product.

"The sales of "Shattered Star" will definitely exceed one million! Who is Miles, can't come up with a good game work, five years from now, ten years from now, who will remember you? Man, thanks for the free publicity for Goat Star Studios. ”

Su Mo smiled at Miles in the video, although Miles looked a little ugly, Su Mo suddenly felt that this guy was actually very cute. Slander, denigrate, the more slander is, the more free publicity for Goat Star Studio!

……

On November 10, US time, the day before the release of Goat Star Studio's latest work "Shattered Star".

Su Mo is ready as soon as he arrives, and when midnight comes, the game will be officially sold! For this release, he asked Juno to sponsor the Twitch live streaming platform and broadcast the game live on the Twitch homepage. And Juno, as the owner of Goat Star Washington Studio, came to the game site in person, she was originally a super model, and as soon as she arrived at the scene, she stopped there casually, causing a lot of riots, making those die-hard players of Goat Star Studio scream.

Sumerton guΓ² was streamed live on Twitch and watched Juno being interviewed by the gaming media.

"Miss Juno, this is the first time Goat Star Studios has a game coming to consoles, do you have an exact number to expect from Shatterstar?"

"The sales volume exceeded one million in the first week, and I gave "Shattered Star" a score of 10!" Juno replied with a smile, she had already played "Shattered Star", and she clearly felt that the progress of "Shattered Star" would definitely not be worse than those second-rate works in the game industry, and this time, she was also extremely confident in "Shattered Star".

"Miss Juno, I heard that you once participated in a modeling contest and even almost won the championship. So, what made you give up the glamorous runway and choose to join an independent game studio from China? ”

That's a good question! Su Mo smiled, looking at Juno on the TV screen, and had to admit that Bo Sai was very discerning, and he chose this Mi Guoniu as the global spokesperson of Goat Star Studio.

"The catwalk, the spotlight, the fame is not what I am after, what I am looking for is to be the owner of a top game studio, I don't like to be tied down to the catwalk, the game industry is my stage! There is an old Chinese saying that 'turning your hands into clouds, covering your hands into rain', and my ideal is to be that kind of person. Juno still replied with a smile, but at this moment, a temperament and an aura were blooming on her body.

Juno, confidence from the heart!

"Miss Juno, have you met the mysterious game developers at Huaguo Goat Star Studio? We all know that they are mysterious. They play very fast, but at different levels. One thing is for sure, though, that they are mysterious! Some media speculated that they were official personnel of China, is this true? ”

"Miss Juno, why didn't IGN review Shattered Star this time, do you think you don't need to review IGN?"

After two questions in a row, Juno kept smiling: "The first question, first of all, I met our boss. I can proudly announce to players worldwide that our boss is definitely the coolest man in the world! The second question is, you can log in to IGN now, and IGN's review of Shattered Star should be out. ”

Su Mo in front of the computer heard Juno say that he was the coolest man in the world, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the horns of Posei, who was sitting next to him.

"Posey, Juno is telling the truth!"

"Sue, a goat star without horns is incomplete after all, so you without horns are far from me and Zeus cool." Posey smiled, indicating that Sumo should plant a pair of horns on his head.

"Nine points! IGN gave Shattered Star a nine! Amazing! ”

"Nine points! Actually gave nine points! ”

"It's unbelievable that Goat Star Studio's latest work "Shattered Star" actually received a nine-point evaluation! However, is Shattered Star really worth nine points? ”

There were cheers on the TV, and Su Mo clicked on the IGN official website, and sure enough, he saw the "Shattered Star" review hanging on the homepage.

"Total: 9."

"Screen: 8 points."

"Music: 8.5."

"Gameplay: 9.5 points."

"Pros: Gorgeous sci-fi setting, smooth single-player mode, enough to impress boss battles. The online mode is extremely balanced, with more than 100 battle maps, and the maximum support is 16 players vs. 16 players! Abundant online battle elements! ”

"Cons: The picture can only be considered second-rate."

"In a word: Shattered Star is a rare sci-fi shooter this year."

Su Mo noticed that the review editor was still Max, and sure enough, foreigners love cars, guns, balls. In fact, it is not surprising that "Broken Star" did get a nine-point evaluation, and the game of "Broken Star" is very high, after all, this time the sentinel was specially instructed to slowly make the game.

"Next, it's up to players around the world to be willing to pull out the dollars in their pockets." Su Mo watched the live broadcast of the launch, testing the success of a game, the simplest and most effective indicator is to see if the players buy it.

Can Shattered Star record first-day sales for Goat Star Studios games? Su Mo smiled, he was confident in Shattered Star. (Collection breaks 750, ask for some recommendation votes, thank you!) οΌ‰
