Chapter 137: The connection between the Black Soul and the Three Masters
"Luo Jun! We are really sincere! ”
Looking at the person in charge of the commercial part of Soni's game, who can't wait to grab his hand, dig out his heart and lungs fiercely, and then frantically put money into his card.
Luo Bai only smiled bitterly.
The appeal of the guy named Kiyoji Kawama in front of him is very simple, to make Dark Souls a PS exclusive.
And the treatment offered was even more exciting to the extent that Luo, who was not interested in money, felt very moved.
"But Mr. Karuma, all my promotional work has been arranged for now, and I can't change my mind and make the game exclusive to PS only at the last minute.
However, I can make a gentleman's agreement with Soni Games that my next Souls-like game will be exclusive to PlayStation, is that okay? ”
Luo Bai's refusal obviously disappointed Kawama, and he wanted to try to try, but finally accepted Luo Bai's firmness.
It's not like nothing.
"Thank you, Lausanne."
"Soni's support for Chuxin is also very great, but I am a little unreasonable this time."
The low profile of the two sides, coupled with the background of the business banquet at this time, and the active atmosphere of professional public relations around them, can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts for a while.
With the help of wine, Kiyoji Kawama asked casually:
"Lausanne, will the next Souls-like game be a sequel to Dark Souls?"
Luo Bai shook his head:
"It's called Bloodborne, but it may have to be delayed, I've been doing it for too long and too long in the category of Aori, and the following games really want to break through and do something different."
"Lausanne is really young and promising."
Kawama looked at the guy in front of him who was not yet thirty years old and said with emotion.
The first phase of the development of Dark Souls was completed, and in order to cooperate with the publicity, Luo Bai naturally sent a semi-finished product to one of the three major console platforms.
It's because of Robert on the hard side, but there's not much to say.
The main propaganda force of the entire lighthouse market has always been slightly hard, and the two sides have maintained a good cooperation.
Soni, on her side, couldn't wait to send a high-level to talk to Luo Bai about the exclusive possession of Dark Souls.
Black Souls is indeed very suitable for PS, especially under the premise that many game companies in Europe and the United States have had accidents one after another, they need a strong façade like Souls.
It's a pity that he was rejected by Luo Bai.
As for Ren's side of hell......
At present, the entire development of Dark Souls uses the original heart engine, which is a brand new engine that has never appeared on the market, and it is difficult to transplant it.
In addition, the optimization of the host has always been a hard flaw of Ren Hell, and it is not very consistent with the style of the black soul.
This time the two sides did not reach a cooperation.
But......
"Lausanne, what do you think? Will we be able to work together on the new Link series? ”
The person who wrote the letter was Mr. Eiichi Rannuma.
Here's how it all began.
When Wanda just came out before, Muto Konhitsu also experienced this work for the first time, and after noticing some interesting designs in it, he immediately recommended it to his old friend Eiichi Rannuma.
Eiichi Lannuma didn't pay much attention to it originally, but after he really started playing, he immediately felt that there were some designs in it that were really interesting.
It was born out of the Link series and made something new of its own.
Then he asked Muto for the contact information of someone Luo.
Luo Bai must have known who Blue Marsh was, after realizing that he was the current developer of the "green hat" of the Hell Twin Walls in this world.
There is no hiding either.
directly explained some of the ideas and dishes in "Zelda's Breath of the Wild" and "Zelda Tears of the Kingdom".
There are many reasons for this.
The first one, the Zelda series, as an old IP with a history of nearly forty years, has developed from the original red and white machine to the new era of the game, and it has long become a symbol of history and culture.
Unless Luo Bai is willing to work hard for thirty years and focus on one series, even if he is willing to do Zelda, the final thing that will come out will only be a castle in the air.
It's a big loss for someone who has a system.
Second, there are thousands of developers in Tears of the Kingdom, and if a game company as big as Nintendo can afford it, it doesn't mean that Luo Bai can afford it.
Luo Bai has his own set of plans for the follow-up development of the original intention, and it is basically impossible to have such a grand situation as a game production team of 1,000 people.
Third, Luo Bai does not belong to the host of the original intention.
Whether it's Mario or Link, they can burn money without any scruples, and they rely on a big market behind them.
One of the most important reasons is that since there is a Link series, as Luo Bai brings over those far-reaching games on Earth little by little, it is only a matter of time before Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom appear.
It's better to be a favor, and by the way, it can also allow players in this world to play those masterpieces earlier.
Because of the times, there is no possibility of a fourth one.
Unless the system can pull out the BUG stuff like the holographic simulation warehouse, Luo Bai will not invest a dime in this area.
Doing a good job of cooperating with the host platform is conducive to the future development of Chuxin.
Luo Bai's idea was simply thrown here, and Lan Marsh didn't take it too seriously.
But as one idea after another was thrown out by Luo Bai, even the kind with illustrations, it was completely impossible for Lan Marsh to be rectified.
Many of the ideas coincided with Blue Marsh's current plan to create a new development world, Hyrule, and almost made Blue Marsh think that Luo Bai had hacked their database in Hell.
Some of the follow-up designs that are even beyond the idea of Blue Marsh are amazing.
No wonder Luo Bai was able to develop "Wanda and the Colossus", this guy doesn't look at his young age, his grasp of the entire game history, the types of games on the market, and the research on the Link series have reached a terrifying point.
And then...... The disgusting place is coming.
Do you use or not the designs given by Luo Bai?
No, it always feels like a loss, and these things can definitely increase the quality of the game when they are put in the game.
Use it, the pride in Lan Marsh's heart that Link is the best in the world makes him feel as if he has lost a little to Luo Bai.
Not to mention that Lan Marsh was killed by Luo Bai, the guy who killed him, and couldn't sleep for many nights, and could only look at the ceiling and lose sleep.
No matter how much Lan Nush himself regretted asking Muto for Luo Bai's contact information.
But in the end, he still made up his mind and threw his olive branch to Luo Bai.
"Lausanne, I would like to invite you, in the name of a special design consultant, to participate in the production of the latest Link collection."
Special Design Consultant......
Luo Bai's heart moved.
He also wanted to see what kind of state the strongest team under the world's most powerful game manufacturer was.
