Chapter 28 Weird things in the gaming world
In Neon, in a studio, a man was humbly talking on the phone, and the other end of the phone seemed a little angry.

"No, brother, please listen to my explanation. I didn't expect the performance of this game on PS4 to be so poor."

"No, brother! I'm really not an undercover agent sent by the opposite manufacturer. I don't know why this thing performs so well on other platforms, but it can't be optimized here."

"."

Before the man could finish speaking, he only heard a "click" and the person on the other end hung up the phone, leaving him standing there alone.

As soon as the other party hung up the phone, the man quickly dialed the phone, eager to repeat what he had just said. Unfortunately, what came from the other end of the phone was a "beep beep" busy signal.

Immediately afterwards, the phone rang, and the man quickly picked up the phone.

"Brother, listen to me, we, oh, it's the boss. Can the boss explain it to us and Sony, and we will solve the optimization problem."

"We will change it immediately. We will change it immediately. The budget for the next game is not enough. Can we stop for a while? Okay, I understand."

The man was lying on the sofa decadently, his face was pale, his lips were purple, his whole body seemed to be drained of energy, his eyes were dull and lifeless.

The man’s name is Ye Guozhi, and he is the person in charge of a game studio. How should I say this?

I finally completely offended the game developers I used, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Konami, all of them.

How to say?Quite glorious!
Ye Guozhi felt very aggrieved. Obviously the game has been fully optimized in the Xbox version, and the graphics performance is very good, but why does it not work on the PS version?

During the development of the game, my eldest brother, Sega Party A, had been involved in Party B's creation, gesticulating from the sidelines, and making a lot of modifications that made the employees miserable.

Forget it, no matter what, he is Party A’s father after all, so what else can Party A do if he has any objections?Change it!

But the problem has arisen again. Now the game's operation is not optimized, and everyone blames himself.

But what can I do? Both parties are my sponsors, so I can still offend them.

I am just a game studio, a broken foundry, not even a middleman.

Tell me, what does this have to do with you?

Sony's main consoles are next-generation consoles. Now that the wave of operations has been implemented, there are no human beings on both sides, and they don't even have game IPs.

I have struggled for most of my life, but I didn’t expect that in the end I still couldn’t get rid of the name of the game “Original Factory”.

Ye Guozhi looked at the sign of the studio in front of him.

This studio is called "Platinum Studio".

Why is the studio named "Platinum"? Platinum (platinum) is a precious metal with a high melting point and extremely stable chemical properties. It is insoluble in strong acids (except aqua regia) and strong alkali solutions, and does not oxidize in the air.

The studio chose the name "Platinum" to encourage itself to produce high-quality games, and its signature will always remain shiny.

Of course, just shouting slogans to outsiders is enough. The slogan of a certain company is to create technology that changes the world and benefits everyone on the planet.

how to say?It has indeed changed.

He let everyone know that toothpaste can still be squeezed out.

At this time, Ye Guozhi looked at the half-finished version of "The Witcher 2" on the computer, and he fell into despair, and finally turned off the computer.

Of course, it's none of Ren Xiaotang's business now.

As for which company will take over as Feiyangyang, it's not clear.

At the same time, in Ren Xiaotang's conference room, Wei Junjie looked at the game outline submitted by everyone and shouted with a face.

"Is this the game outline you guys gave me? Even if I go to Douyu and watch a female anchor break dance, it's more exciting than this!"

"B game? Who voted for the plan? Do you know how scary the B game world is? The male protagonist will get slapped twice if he enters the super game!"

"Krypton money? Two-dimensional mobile games? Open world? Where the hell are you trying to make fools happy?"

"MOBA game? The idea is good, but why do you still follow the methods of other manufacturers?"

The employees in front of him lowered their heads and remained silent.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.

Maybe because he was a little too excited with the scolding, Wei Junjie looked at Xingtong sitting in the corner and blurted out.

"And you, eat, eat, leave early and be late. I have tolerated you for a long time. Don't think that you are an investor and just treat my company as you." At this moment, Xingtong glared at him, and Wei Junjie was frightened. Shut up.

At this time, Xingtong looked at this group of people and shook his head, what should I say?

Because of their disagreements, this group of people quarreled almost every day, every three days, and today they even cursed in Wei Junjie's conference room.

But the most outrageous thing is that after they finished arguing, they had a calm discussion the next day, and then continued to make trouble in the company as usual.

"Boss, we know what you are thinking, but our current traffic is like this. If you want to use your own IP, at least let domestic players know that there is such a game company, and mobile games are a good choice." Listen. After Wei Junjie finished speaking, Wang Hao replied helplessly.

"The environment in China is like this. Not to mention consoles, even PC, there are not many players. Everyone knows that free games are the most expensive, but mobile games are different. They have no restrictions. Now almost everyone Everyone has a mobile phone."

"I know what you are thinking, boss, but look at EA, aren't they also making PC and mobile games at the same time?"

After saying that, Wang Hao looked at Wei Junjie and analyzed.

"Ah~"

Wei Junjie thought for a while and fell silent.

Indeed, Lao Wang is right.

From the perspective of domestic players, if you ask them to buy a 300-yuan game on the Steam platform, the first thing they will think of is that this is such a crappy game and it still costs money.

But if you ask them to rush 648 into the game, do 10 consecutive draws, and change the skin of the female character, they won't even blink an eye.

But he really doesn’t want to make a money-charging game. In fact, Ren Xiaotang has made mobile games before.

how to say?Wei Junjie sometimes feels that his father does have a lot of vision, but his vision is very unique and can be said to be rather strange.

With the advent of the Internet era and the advent of mobile games, this company also began to make mobile games.

But the problem is, these games are simply weird in the mobile gaming world.

That year, the company's profits plummeted 60%, and it was on the verge of losing money...

But it was also this year that Ren Xiaotang started making mobile games. Ren Xiaotang, who was at the top of the despise chain, and mobile games at the bottom of the despise chain finally became connected...

What was Ren Xiaotang's original position in the gaming industry?
A textbook existence!
When the game was released, Wei Junjie's father made an unexpected move.

They set the game as a buyout mobile game, unlocked all the levels with a one-time payment, and used the idea of ​​selling console games to complete the mobile game...

But the more important problem is that the quality of their game is just a mobile game!
One-click operation, too simple...

Of course, if you think Ren Xiaotang’s path to mobile gaming is that simple, then you still underestimate him...

Ren Xiaotang unexpectedly did not include a battle function in the main online mobile game.In other words, online games can only be played stand-alone!
As a result, Wei Junjie's father thought there was something wrong with his thinking. He firmly believed that mobile games were the future direction.

When the buyout method does not change, the results of making mobile games and console games at the same time can be imagined.

You have to ask, are there so many mobile games out there but none of them are popular?

Of course there is. When Honor of Kings appeared in China as the mobile version of League of Legends, there was such a game that became popular.

An A·RPG game designed by Penguin and jointly developed and operated by Ren Xiaotang. After all, Penguin is good at making money!

But the problem is that this game not only fails to strike while the iron is hot, but also pours cold water on players:

"Please save your money, we are not interested in making money from mobile games like this!"

Later, due to disagreements between the two manufacturers, the game was completely gone after only a few years of operation.

Such a weird idea has created Ren Xiaotang's embarrassing situation today. Obviously these games are all at the top level, but he still insists on playing them with cards...

I hope players will charge less money.

ps: Parallel world, parallel world!Don't bring it in!The timeline is a bit confusing!

　After watching Nintendo's practical exercise last night, all I can say is, damn you, you are really awesome.

　　It seems like a game based on my childhood fantasies.

　　This year the stars, the tears of the king, the children of the forest, where are the gods fighting from you?

　　I just want to see who will be given to TGA this year?
　　Write some novels and earn some money to buy Tears of the King
