Chapter 243: This Game Is Too Hardcore
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
It was the day after the sci-fi game was launched.
While players are immersed in the game, major game manufacturers are also in full swing to count the sales data of the first day.
After all, it is an emerging theme, and it has state support.
Not to mention that it reached the height of a popular theme from the beginning, but at least it shouldn't be as unbearable as before, and it's hard to even get back to basics.
"Director, the statistics are out!"
At the headquarters of the Polar Day, a shout rang out.
As one of the sci-fi manufacturers, they also participated in this investment promotion of the Ministry of Aerospace, and they are also one of the sci-fi games that have attracted the most attention in the past few months.
The game they made "Galaxy Fighter: Advent of the Machine" is based on space warfare and mecha as the main gameplay, which is definitely the mainstream of science fiction at present.
So I attached great importance to this game release and invested a lot of money.
"The statistics are out? Bring it to me. ”
Director Jiyang, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, hurriedly walked over and picked up the form he had just printed out to look at it carefully.
Immediately afterward, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"48,000 on the first day? Not bad. ”
As you can tell, he is very satisfied with this result.
At this growth rate, as long as there are no vicious bugs, the sales volume in the first week is basically stable above 200,000.
Spend a month or two more promoting it.
In the end, there is every chance that the sales volume will hit one million.
With the current cost of 100 million yuan for medium and large single machines, it is more than enough to return to the cost of millions of sales, and some of them are profitable.
"It seems that the sci-fi market is indeed better than before."
The man nodded, his gaze moving downward.
When I saw the estimated sales of other competing products in the same period, the corners of my mouth suddenly rose.
Because except for their game, the other first-day sales estimates are basically below 40,000, and they are no longer qualified to compete with them for million sales.
Even the most potential Honghuang studio is estimated to be close to 40,000.
"Sure enough, no matter which company it is, it will have its own shortcomings."
"We can't compare to Honghuang in other fields, but in the science fiction field we are most familiar with, it is still a little worse."
As the so-called art industry has a specialization.
They have been precipitating in the science fiction field for so many years, at least this kind of player base is a huge advantage, and they have also established a certain reputation.
It's not easy for other manufacturers who have just come in to surpass it.
And the idea.
This is exactly what the top executives of those sci-fi manufacturers are thinking at this time.
When they learned that the flood game had encountered Waterloo, they all had such expressions, and they were not too surprised.
Because the sci-fi genre is different from other genres.
Players are demanding of the game.
In addition to the gameplay graphics, it is also necessary to be logical and full of science and technology, and more importantly, to reasonably build a fantasy world based on technology.
Otherwise, players will definitely not buy a few shooters like those shooters dressed in sci-fi skin, or games with a strong sense of disobedience.
This is what sets science fiction apart from other genres.
Those who can survive in this category basically have two brushes.
"Although it is a pity, Hong Huang is destined to be our foil this time."
Thinking that the flood famine that was in the limelight was suppressed by himself, several manufacturers with good sales were riveted and increased their publicity efforts.
They want to step on the flood and ascend to the top.
Increase your market share in emerging fields!
……
Soon.
The news also began to spread quickly on the Internet in various ways.
When they learned that the new game "Interstellar Frontier" was not selling well, many players couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
They've all been to the stream before.
The game is really well done.
Especially in terms of special effects and planet design, it is absolutely top-notch, there is no doubt about it, and even many people are rushing to experience the major planets.
But there is one thing that makes many players confused.
That's what the game explores.
A whole day.
None of the streamers who streamed the game found a key clue to escape the solar system.
Yes.
Not a single one!
Because the information contained in this game is so large, and it uses non-linear exploration and lacks guidance.
The information is scattered in every corner of the planet, making it a lot of effort to put it together.
Coupled with the fact that each planet has its own unique landing requirements, many players have not even managed to reach any useful information after playing for nearly two hours.
can only run around in the supernova of the sun over and over again.
This will undoubtedly greatly increase the frustration of players.
Just go in and experience it and get a refund.
It's not because it's bad.
It's too hardcore!
The light quantum knowledge tower and the understanding of the state of quantum entanglement have stumped more than half of the players.
Some even drove a spaceship to land on a planet for more than an hour.
Not to mention going to the sun station that stumped a group of people.
"Hong Huang miscalculated this time, he overestimated the patience of the players."
In the live broadcast room.
Old E also received the news and said regretfully.
As far as he is concerned, he must have liked the game very much, and he also had time to beat it.
But it's really too hardcore.
The average player is probably not very acceptable.
And there are so many adventure and exploration games in the world, there is no shortage of this one.
"If the sales are not good, it is not good, anyway, I have already started it."
"Indeed, just for the planetary design, this more than 100 pieces will not be lost."
"It's good to play it as a sightseeing game."
"Hehe, I'm going to wait for the anchors to clear the customs and then go through the plot by myself, at least I won't be frozen to death outside."
"You mean the time the streamer flew out of the solar system?"
Thinking of the old E's sassy operation before, the audience laughed.
They thought they would be able to escape a supernova explosion by flying out of the solar system.
But it turned out to be.
As soon as the spaceship flies to the edge of the solar system, the surrounding air will quickly freeze, directly freezing the character to death on the spot.
The other two were hiding in the sea of the deep giant star and the monkfish nest of the Black Thorn Star, both of which were instantly evaporated by the terrifying energy of the supernova.
In short, I've tried everything.
Still going to die when it's time to die.
It's no wonder that players say it's too hard.
Even many streamers were persuaded to quit by the difficulty and switched to other starship cannon and space mecha games.
The only ones who are still insisting on station b are Lao E, Ouyang Xiao, and a few low-level artists under Su Peng.
But that's it.
In the face of decreasing heat.
They still came up with the idea of changing the game.
……
"Streamer, why don't we change to another game?"
On the other side, in Mo Ziyan's live broadcast room.
Fans have also suggested that she change the game.
As a small anchor of station B, Mo Ziyan is also one of the signed artists under Su Peng.
However, compared with the popular Ouyang Xiao, she is still too much worse, and she only has tens of thousands of attention.
With Ouyang Xiao's current size, even if he broadcasts a garbage game, someone will watch it.
But she is different, she must drill into a hot place to have a chance to receive more attention, otherwise she can only stay at the bottom.
"Or ...... Forget it? I would like to try this game again. ”
In front of the camera, Mo Ziyan smiled awkwardly, picked up Liangbai and took a sip.
She can't say that she doesn't have so much money, and she is not willing to spend money to buy other games, right?
After all, as a low-level artist, he gets a dead salary.
Not to mention the live broadcast achievements, it is not bad to have a few hundred a month, and it is only enough to buy two or three games.
And she also has selfish intentions.
Because Manager Su had said before that Hong Huang would be an important ally for them in the future.
Maybe if he supports the game like this, he may be noticed by Manager Su.
When the time comes, not to mention that she can rise like Ouyang Xiao, it is better to give her a chance to perform a commercial performance or a trial broadcast of a new game than to be unknown now.
Yes.
People like her.
There are countless in the B station branch.
It's not because of inability.
On the contrary, many people's abilities are not weaker than those big anchors, and what they lack is just opportunities.
A chance for them to express themselves!
"Don't look at me like this, I'm not strong in the rest, but patience and concentration are not comparable to everyone."
Smiling at the camera, Mo Ziyan controlled the character again and continued to explore.
She is now on a planet called the Shattered Sky Star, which is in the third orbit of the solar system.
The structure of this planet is very peculiar.
The surface collapsed, and there was a volcano-like moon that intermittently dropped lava fireballs on the shattered star, collapsing the ground.
At the center of the planet is a small black hole that will swallow the collapsing land, which looks terrifying.
Once she accidentally fell into a black hole and was almost scared to death, but she was teleported into a white hole on the other side of the solar system, and finally died of lack of oxygen.
But relatively.
There is also a very important message here.
The former civilization "Nomai people" received a signal from the Eye of the Universe, an existence older than the universe, and jumped from other galaxies in a spaceship.
As a result, during the space jump, he unfortunately got stuck on the vines inside Blackthorn and was besieged by monkfish, so he was not allowed to escape from Blackthorn in three escape pods.
One of the escape pods escaped to the shattered star.
And because fireballs often fall on the surface, a hanging city is built below the surface, that is, above the black hole, as a temporary residence.
That's how the legacy buildings and aviation technology they saw came about.
It is also the starting point of the story of this game.
"Now that the starting point of the clue has been found, we should be able to find the key clue as long as we follow the vine step by step."
"Maybe we can escape this solar system by jumping through the Nomai Ship Matrix?"
Mo Ziyan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
It seems that the key information has finally been discovered.
This is definitely the most crucial thing they have discovered in the past two days!
The only thing that bothered her was that there was a quantum knowledge tower in the Hanging City, and because the gravity slate was broken, she couldn't go up with a jetpack at all.
But the following suggested that there was something in the tower, so she walked down for several minutes, but there was no clue at all.
"I now finally know why so many people were persuaded to quit......"
A barrage swept through the silent live broadcast room.
However, the next second.
With a bang, a large fireball fell from the sky, smashing right above the surface of the Knowledge Tower.
The huge impact force caused the entire ground to collapse at once, and together with the quantum knowledge tower, it was pulled by the black hole in the center of the planet.
Mo Ziyan, who saw this scene, was shocked.
"Do you mean ......?"
Swish!
The screen flashed.
Once again, she was swallowed by a black hole, appearing outside a white hole on the other side of the solar system.
Floating next to it.
It's the quantum knowledge tower that she can't live or die!
The live broadcast room was silent at first, and then a large number of barrages swept by.
"They were teleported into outer space together?"
"I see! You have to wait until this tower falls into a black hole together before you can fly into the tower through the gravity of space! ”
"Awesome! This design is stunning! ”
"It's a shame that the designer can think of it!"
Although there were only hundreds of people watching in the live broadcast room, it was extremely lively at the moment, and they were all amazed by this novel design.
No wonder the ground of that planet has been crumbling, and it turns out that the gravitylessness of outer space is used to solve the mystery!
"I guess I know how to play this game."
Mo Ziyan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with excitement.
This game, called "Interstellar Frontier", is far better than she imagined!
No nonsense, take advantage of the fact that the sun is about to explode, control the jetpack and fly into the tower to collect other clues.
