"Huh~ This time the PV of pokeni's new game feels very ordinary."

After watching the PV, Masato Hita, the president of the Elf Society, always felt a little incredible.

It's not that this PV isn't beautifully made.

After all, it was Hayao Miyazaki who served as the painting supervisor, and the quality of the art must be guaranteed, and it was Miyazaki's style that could be seen at a glance.

And it's also a preppy style drawn by Hayao Miyazaki.

This is not easy.

Hayao Miyazaki, an old guy, has always liked to make the era before World War II, whether it was a sailor uniform or a school uniform at that time, it was quite different from now, and it had a strong atmosphere of the times.

But it's clear that CL is a game about the neon school story of the present, in the current 90s.

That's why Miyazaki uses delicate brushstrokes to depict contemporary students.

It's actually very rare.

This shows that Miyazaki has also made a lot of efforts and efforts to this end.

But that's where the problem lies.

The vast majority of galgames on the market, not to mention 100%, more than 90% are modern campus backgrounds.

The reason is simple, there are probably two:

Campus,Junior high school and high school are basically the stages of life that neon everyone has experienced,Using the content of this part as the background board of galgame,It has a strong sense of substitution。

If you design the protagonist to be a pilot or a physical scientist, the players will not be able to resonate.

I chose campus because high school is the most important and beautiful time in my life.

There is both youth and that unforgettable innocent first love.

Once this period has passed, both men and women will not be so pure, and will always be contaminated with some impurities and become dirty.

It cannot be said to be filthy, it can only be said that it will be re-baptized by society and become another creature.

Therefore, the high school campus is the most extensive stage of life, and at the same time it is the most beautiful stage, which is why most galgames like to use this as a background.

It's just that there are too many homogeneous games that highlight what makes Pokeni unique.

Whether it is "The Mermaid's Heart" or "The Man in Reverse Degree" to the later "The Man in the Bed", in fact, they are somewhat detached from these traditional routines and are different from other works.

But I didn't expect that now Pokeni actually started to take this path?

I don't know if it's because Furuhara Tsubaki is exhausted, or if they think that the market is the way they made this decision after considering and researching.

In short, after watching the PV, Masato Hida was slightly disappointed in his heart.

This is not the ancient hara Tsubaki in my mind.

The combination of Furuhara Tsubaki + Miyazaki should not be at this level.

"It's too ordinary.,Really.,This setting doesn't say that there are hundreds of galgames that do this.,There are dozens.。 Masato Hida said uncomfortably.

His expectations for Furuhara Tsubaki were quite high, but he didn't expect such a result.

"Yes," echoed Masaki Takei, the script writer of the Genie Society, "If it weren't for the fame of Hayao Miyazaki, there would definitely be no way to win the favor of players with this level of galgame promotion." ”

Ah~ I don't know why, when I saw that God also fell off the altar one day, as a peer and the most stressful galgame game author, Takei Masaki was regretful and a little mixed in his heart.

But......

It seems a little too early to rejoice.

Although it's not very good from the first reaction after watching the PV, I just think it's too ordinary.

Even a master like Hayao Miyazaki may be difficult to control.

But from his past experience and feelings, he doesn't quite believe that a combination like Furuhara Tsubaki + Hayao Miyazaki can fail the game.

Unless there's really something wrong with the script, or the whole worldview is set to Waterloo, it shouldn't be.

According to Masaki Takei's own ideas, whether it is an old thief or a master of Miyazaki, any person pulling it out can be very appealing, and players must be in an endless stream.

If something really goes wrong and the results are not satisfactory, it must be the responsibility of Furuhara Tsubaki.

If there really is such a day, it can only be said that Furuhara Tsubaki has been out of the game industry for too long, which has led to a decline in his form after his return.

……

In short, this [not very good] perception is not only the case with a few bigwigs in the Elf Club, but even players are not optimistic about the prospects of the game CL after watching the PV.

"It's over, this wave of Master Miyazaki shouldn't smash his own signboard, right?"

"I don't think it's just Master Miyazaki, right? The old thief of Guyuan is also smashing his own signboard. ”

"This kind of game style that forcibly creates a tear-jerking sensation is indeed an old thief, but there is still a certain gap between this setting and the ancient original Tsubaki who has the imagination in my impression."

"This can't be a fake Furuhara Tsubaki, right?"

"It's hard to say.,In fact, no one has ever seen the appearance of Furuhara Tsubaki.,Who knows who he actually is.,It's a mystery whether it's a man or a woman.,It's not good that the real Furuhara Tsubaki has long since retired.,It's just that now it's just that the black-hearted president of Pokeni is forcibly taking the name to consume players.。

"Ah~ Damn, if that's the case, you can't let go of Qing Zhiyuan's dog."

"However, have you ever thought carefully about why Hayao Miyazaki wants to cooperate with them if Furuhara Tsubaki is a fake?"

"Yes, I watched the interview before, and Miyazaki himself said that he is very much looking forward to working with Tsubaki Furuhara, and this is also his first time making a game."

“emmmm…… Then there is only one truth -

Gu Yuan Tsubaki seems to be the real Gu Yuan, but this time there must be something lacking in play.

As a result, Hayao Miyazaki was also dragged into the water. ”

"What? Hayao Miyazaki + Tsubaki Furuhara, just made such a thing? ”

"I had a sense of foreboding that I didn't know exactly what the game would become."

"Ah~ Don't say it, if you keep talking, I don't want to buy the game anymore."

"Anyway, let's wait and see, this combination is actually quite strong, and there will definitely be many people who play this game under the names of Furuhara Tsubaki and Miyazaki.

Okay or not, there will definitely be an answer then. ”

……

Viewers in the animation industry are relatively much more tolerant, after all, the game is played less, and they don't appreciate the undesirable effects of such a setting.

However, some fans who have studied the game and are Miyazaki at the same time have a lot of resentment.

I can't sit still when I see the PV of this game.

There are even many people who want to go to Pokeni Game Company to denounce Qing Zhiyuan.

"It's disgusting! Why did Miyazaki take on such a bad job! I'm also looking forward to seeing what Miyazaki can do in the game.

As a result, I was really disappointed after watching the PV.

A simple and ordinary campus story, I don't know how many such settings have been.

It's a rotten street, okay?

What does Miyazaki think? It's all a joke about your reputation for the rest of your life, okay? ”

"Yes, it should be a joy for everyone to join a game company that has always been known for its reputation.

Whether I've read previous reports or interviews, Miyazaki is a great advocate of this game.

I didn't expect PV to be so ordinary.

It's so disappointing. ”

"Overall, it's not that the picture is disappointing, but the level of Master Miyazaki is still here, and you can see it from the simple PV.

The muted colors, the rich layering, and each character, although they didn't say a word, made people feel that the action was very tense and soulful.

It's a lot like Miyazaki's style.

But the only thing that makes me uncomfortable is that this is clearly a simple campus love story.

And there are so many female characters, at first glance, it is the theme of a beautiful girl's harem on the bad street.

Is this kind of game really worth it?

Is it worth buying?

Is it worth it for Miyazaki?

I am deeply skeptical. ”

If you only look at the PV or the reaction of the players, the editors of Famitong will make the same judgment -

What is this?

There is a lot of blank space in the PV, and there are only characters and basic encounter processes, so it's hard to tell what are the better selling points.

The biggest selling point has become [Miyazaki]

Is such a game really made by Pokeni?

Was it really made by Tsubaki Furuhara as the producer?

But fortunately, not long after the PV was released, Qing Zhiyuan sent the game disc to Famitong.

Mainly to fulfill the promise he made to Hirokazu Hamamura at the last meal, and also to thank Famitsu for giving "Upside Down Patma" a perfect score.

After experiencing this game.

Several editors finally had a bottom in their hearts.

"Ah~PV shouldn't do this.,The experience content of this game is much more exciting than PV." Miki Watanabe, the only female editor in Famitsu, sighed.

Seriously, the game far exceeded her expectations.

"yes, I haven't had a taste yet." Katsuaki Kato said uncomfortably.

"The game is definitely a good game.,The graphics are super strong.,The game's soundtrack is good.,CV too.,I think it's perfect.,If you can experience it and then evaluate it.,This game must be a well-deserved masterpiece.。

The only regret is galgame, it seems that once again it has lost its relationship with the platinum palace. ”

"Seriously, this is probably the most touching game I've ever played, except for the Nest Man and the Reverse Man.

Everything is fine, it's just that saliva will involuntarily flow out of the eyes. ”

Hahahaha......

Several others were amused.

But after laughing, it was difficult to hide the loneliness in his eyes.

Miki Watanabe sighed, "Well, the follow-up impact is too strong, and I was so moved when the game just ended, my heart was empty, and I felt that my whole soul was emptied."

But I was still too naïve, and when I went home and went to bed, I realized that the stamina was really terrible.

When I dream, I can dream that I am crying.

Can you relate to that? ”

"Uh-huh." Several editors nodded, indicating that they understood her feelings.

Watching the editors discuss word by word, the editor-in-chief next to him, Hirokazu Hamamura, seemed much calmer and more rational.

He folded his hands and silently pondered a question-

Since there are no problems with the game itself, and the side and main lines are very moving, it can fully support the names of Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki.

Why should PV be so brief, it just conveys a sense of atmosphere.

Even the backstory is boring and clichéd?

There's no reason for that.

According to Hiroichi Hamamura's perception of Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki, neither of them is the kind of guy who is willing to be bland.

In their respective fields, these two geniuses have always been known for their super fantasy powers.

There's no reason why CL's setting would be so ordinary.,Ordinary to the point that in addition to the art style and excellent soundtrack,It's almost impossible to see how big a gap there is between it and those bad street galgames from the PV.。

"Is there a possibility?"

At this moment, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his brain.

Summing up recent events and various pieces of information, a terrible thought was born in his brain:

"Is this actually a marketing ploy by Pokeni?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the entire editorial room immediately fell silent.

The environment that was still chattering just now suddenly became silent, which was particularly weird.

"Huh?"

After a few seconds, everyone turned to look at him at the same time.

"Otherwise, there's no reason." Hiroichi Hamamura snapped his fingers, "If you think about it, the game is actually very good, but the PV is so ordinary.

Perhaps this is the topic of Pokeni's deliberate production.

If you think about it carefully, there is really this possibility, and the contrast formed by the strong alliance of the masters, many players must have questioned this, so the heat quickly rose.

And—

To some extent, because the PV is too ordinary, it lowers the players' sense of expectation.

Due to the fame of Furuhara Tsubaki before, and the help of Hayao Miyazaki, players must have very high expectations.

It's actually advantageous to lower expectations at this time.

When players actually experience the game, the feeling of regaining what they lost and exceeding their expectations is sure to explode! ”

"Wow~" Everyone nodded thoughtfully, indicating that Hamamura Hongichi's explanation was too convincing.

Yes, good operations are about managing the expectations of players, being able to mobilize expectations, and at the same time lowering expectations.

This is actually a very deep science.

Hayao Miyazaki and Tsubaki Furuhara are hot enough to explode, and the expectations of players don't know how high they are, and if they don't pour a basin of water, the game will not be able to meet this expectation when the time comes, but it will have the opposite effect.

It's actually very simple, just like the Brazilian team, this year's national team squad is the best in the world, with aliens Ronaldo, Ricardo, Cafu, Santos, Sergio......

If such a national team fails to win the world championship, I don't know what it will be sprayed like.

"This trick of the youth president is really clever!"

"I wonder if that's really the case! Lowering expectations can make the actual game experience better. ”

"Yes, the president of Pokeni is a fox who has become a good spirit, and he has a very good set of marketing methods."

"Thinking about it like this, Qing Zhiyuan's scheming is terrifying!"
