Just an hour.

The whole gaming circle just blew up.

The video of Arthur's conversation with the nun was like a flash flood and tsunami, which instantly swept through all platforms.

Even in the major live broadcast rooms, there are all crying and scolding.

"Woo woo my Arthur."

"You've done all the bad things, get my Arthur back!"

"If I had known that I wouldn't have advanced the plot."

"Shit, this game is going to be damned in chapter three!"

"I'm scared, and my scalp tingles when I hear those four words."

"My heart hurts so much that I can't breathe."

"Tell me it's just a game character."

The defense was broken, and this time the players really broke the defense.

They never imagined that a character in a game would have such a strong ability to empathize.

Just one word, one look, made them feel Arthur's deep helplessness and fear, hitting the softest place in their hearts.

That's just the scene.

raised the role of Arthur to an unparalleled level.

The game, Red Dead Redemption, is a work of art that is completely out of the realm of the game and far beyond the player's understanding of the gameplay.

Definitely epoch-making.

Then a phrase began to circulate in major circles.

I can not play Dead Redemption, but I can't have none on my list.

Yes.

See this heart-wrenching ending.

Many people are afraid to continue the plot, either stuck in the first three chapters, or simply buy and not play.

What's more, in order to go in and kill Arthur to avenge him, he directly took the villain route.

The popularity of "Red Dead Redemption" has gradually surpassed the annual monopoly of the three console platforms, reaching an unprecedented level.

"Mr. Carter, something is wrong!"

Giant hard, a branch company.

With a report in hand, Wimmer hurried into the director's office, his face full of panic.

"Didn't I tell you to knock on the door when you come in? What's wrong? ”

Carter, who had just finished reporting to the headquarters, had a calm face and looked very dissatisfied.

"It's a new game for the wilderness, Super. It's more than us! ”

Wemmer was out of breath, and there was still a deep look of shock in his eyes.

It's as if seeing something unbelievable.

Hurriedly walked over and handed the report to Carter.

Originally, Carter wanted to scold a few more words, but when he saw the statistics on the report, his eyes widened suddenly.

[Game: Red Dead Redemption]

[First day sales: 4.5 million copies]

4.5 million?

That's impossible!

Carter rubbed his eyes vigorously, they were almost gone, and the numbers on them still didn't change, so that his hands trembled a little.

"Mr. Wei, are you.Are you sure this data is correct!?"

"Yes, we contacted the personnel on the steam side to confirm, and estimated it by some means, and this is the number."

Weimer took a deep breath and replied.

He knows very well what the concept of 4.5 million sales on the first day is.

Even those tens of millions of games on the market only had more than 2 million at the beginning.

The game of Honghuang has directly doubled, and it is self-evident what it represents.

It is very likely to become a sales myth that no one can break for a long time!

Even their vaunted annual sales of 1.8 million were overshadowed by the game.

They.

I actually turned this game away with my own hands.

Push this sales myth that should belong to them to others!

Every time he thought of this, Wei Mo felt his lips dry, and regretted that he had not tried his best to keep the people in Honghuang's studio in the first place.

It's too late to say anything.

Stomp –

Carter, who was holding the report, stumbled under his feet, his eyes full of fear, and he could no longer maintain his usual calm and composure.

4.5 million sales!

Just because of his negligence he pushed out the door.

Even if the board of directors is not accountable, other competitors will definitely take advantage of the problem, and he may not be able to keep this position at that time.

He didn't understand that the gap between the two games would be so big if they were both open worlds and had reproduced the gameplay.

And they also have the support of the whole platform, and the use of the whole platform without consuming resources is promoted.

No matter how big the gap is, it shouldn't be so big.

"Quick, go and notify the publicity and distribution department, let them increase their publicity efforts, even if they can't catch up, they must narrow the gap!"

Suddenly, Carter woke up.

The only thing he can do now is this, increase publicity investment, and narrow the gap between the two sides as much as possible.

In this way, even if the board of directors is held accountable, it will not have much impact, and at most he will be blamed for his bad behavior.

Anyway, the two games are one PC and one console, and the player base does not intersect much, as long as it can beat the other two consoles, it can still save the situation.

"Okay, I'll go over here."

Weimer also knew that the stakes were high, and it was useless to complain about Docart's behavior at the beginning, so he immediately turned and left.

However, just a few steps out.

Another employee arrived in a hurry.

"Mr. Carter, the lower department has just sent a message that online players for our new game are losing rapidly!"

“What！？”

Carter's breath stagnated when he heard this, and Wemer's footsteps stopped instantly.

The employee came up to the two and hurriedly said, "That's right, according to our investigation, a large number of players have been affected by online news and have already switched to the steam platform to play that Red Dead Redemption!" ”

"Turning to the steam platform??"

"Yes, the full version of Red Dead Redemption also has a controller operation, which has caused many console players to set up PC accounts in the past, and the sales growth of our new game has dropped by 30%!"

Bang!

Carter slumped in his chair, his eyes glazed over.

There is a huge loss of players, not to mention narrowing the distance between them and the flood, and I am afraid that even the other two console platforms will soon surpass them.

He never expected that a game could really cross platforms and pull players from the console to the PC.

If this game had been theirs, it would have left Soni far behind and helped them win this competition.

It has even become the largest console platform in one fell swoop!

Until now.

He finally realized what he had done stupidly, but he regretted it too late.

Bell Bell Bell –

At this time, the international call on the side.

Carter, who was in a trance, was shocked and hurriedly picked up the answer.

"Hey, Director."

"Carter, I've received news from you, it seems that you are not suitable to take care of the affairs of the Asian region, prepare to transfer back, and I will send someone to take over your work in a few days."

Click!

He didn't give him any chance to react at all, and just hung up the phone.

Carter stood still with the microphone, remorseful in his heart.

He knows.

I'm done.

Compared to the bleakness of the giant hard.

The other two platforms and partners are much better.

Especially deliberately avoided the positive Ren Tiandi and Shengqu, and now I am really relieved.

"Fortunately, we had the foresight to copy the Flood Wilderness game like them."

"4.5 million daily sales, directly won the sales crown of the day, and also broke the record, such a game of livestock, whoever stands in the way will die."

At the video conference, Ren Tiandi and Shengqu's senior management were extremely shocked and a little gloating.

Although their side was also affected, and many players were sucked away by Red Dead Redemption.

But because it is a cartoon adventure open-world game, it avoids head-to-head competition in terms of graphics and gameplay, and the loss is not too big.

Unlike the giant hard, he even copied the gameplay, but was directly trampled to death by more than twice the sales, and became a stepping stone for others.

"This time, everyone underestimated the flood famine, I originally thought that the 3 million sales of the early version were outrageous enough."

"Fortunately, you only raised the conditions at the beginning, and there were no people who embarrassed them."

"It's a pity, I let the steam pick up such a big bargain for nothing, and now I guess Dule is crazy, right?"

The words of the high-level were full of emotion.

With 4.5 million sales on the first day, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a hit of tens of millions, even if they are all red-eyed.

At the same time, it also proves a point.

The potential of the quality market is much greater than they imagined.

It seems that it is time to change course and invest more in production.

Meanwhile.

Flood Wilderness Studio.

"Pin the crown! Our game is the best! ”

"Boss Song, look! Our game is number one! ”

Excited cheers rose one after another in the office area.

The entire Dawn team gathered around the computer, excitedly watching the game at the top of the daily sales charts.

It's their Red Dead Redemption!

In just one day, he rushed to the first place with such a strong attitude, and left the second place far behind.

This kind of momentum that will be at the top of the world made them suddenly feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were so excited that they were incoherent.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a sales crown, make a fuss."

At this time, Lao Song couldn't stop smiling on his face, and glanced at the rankings on the list from time to time.

This game is worthy of the great effort of their entire Dawn team to produce, and the results are simply beyond imagination.

Start today.

No one dares to despise them anymore.

Even all those involved in the production will be worth more in the game industry in the future and become the elite of the industry.

The fame of the Dawn team under the Flood Wilderness.

It's kind of completely typed.

"Mr. Chen, come and see! We're on the top seller! ”

Suddenly, a cry of surprise interrupted everyone's discussion.

Chen Lin, who had just finished talking to the person in charge of the steam platform, walked slowly from a distance.

"Well, I already know, everyone has worked hard during this time."

Chen Lin smiled and waved his hand, in a very good mood.

This first-day result is completely worthy of the previous life.

It seems that as the influence of the flood has grown, their games have also begun to exert their original prestige.

And with the experience of two lifetimes, he will also avoid the flaws in those games in the production process and achieve more perfection.

It's not surprising to get this result.

"Shall we make an announcement to build momentum?" Lao Song asked.

"Don't rush for the time being, wait two more days." Chen Lin said casually.

"Wait two more days?"

Lao Song was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he reacted immediately.

Truly.

It's not the best time to make an announcement.
