Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Give the world a little golden shock

Gu Sheng doesn't care how Miguo Yunwei adjusts and how to restore the stock price.

He didn't even care whether Yunwei would become angry because of his and Xiao Nezha's previous arrogance and resort to destructive tricks again.

The only thing he cares about right now is—

[Melancholic Blues] Can you make "Two People Go Together" well?

Yes.

Regarding his old club in his previous life and his new subordinates in this life, Gu Sheng decided to hand over this arduous task to the Melancholy Blues Director Connor and others from the beginning.

And the purpose of doing this is nothing more than two -

First of all, Melancholy Blues now urgently needs a brand new work to prove that it is just a waste under Cornick's hands, but in the golden wind, it can leap like a fish and fly like a bird in the sky, saving itself from being so bad that it can no longer be bad. reputation.

But the problem is that if we rush to hand over super IPs like "Assassin's Creed" and "The Division" to them now, the timing is not good.

As an action game, the "Assassin's Creed" series, if developed and released at this time, will undoubtedly be partially overshadowed by Sekiro, which was released not long ago.

As a multiplayer online shooting game, "The Division" will make players feel tired due to the repetition of large types.

Not to mention "Rainbow Six".

Now that R6 is released, Qing can just wait and die suddenly. He doesn't want to release R6 immediately after OW and let his two studios compete in the competition.

Therefore, Melancholic Blues has undoubtedly become the perfect candidate to produce the critically acclaimed hit "Two Men Go Together".

This is one of them.

Secondly, it is also a selfish intention of Gu Sheng -

You know, he did it not just to make money from playing games.

This work also carries a more serious surprise mission.

Since it is a surprise, it must be kept secret.

But now, although in theory, both the golden experience and the steel chain fingers are his 'direct descendants', and they follow his lead.

But don't forget, whether it's Jiang Shan in the gold experience group or Yuki in the steel chain finger group, it's possible for them to become 'inner ghosts'.

Furthermore.

Nowadays, Gold Experience is extremely busy. There are 10,000 follow-up matters related to Overwatch waiting for them to deal with, and there is no time to settle down and make "Two People".

As for the steel chain fingers...

They say they have time, but they do have time.

They said they didn't have time, but they didn't have time.

Quite a riddle.

Because at this moment, even Gu Sheng had a hard time predicting when they would get busy.

Yes.

Now, under the leadership of Moritani, Steel Chain Finger is in contact with a mysterious person in Neon.

If the contact is successful, they will soon usher in the most important project in history, which can even be said to be a big project that countless players are looking forward to!

The upright reporter Miles, a clueless character throughout the Golden Wind horror universe, will also embark on a journey again.

so!

"I'm going to boldly use [Melancholic Blues] in the new project to see what their strength is."

In the chairman's office, Gu Sheng said to Shen Miaomiao.

pretty! !

Shen Miaomiao could not wait to raise her hands and feet in approval!

I really saw them right!

Melancholic blues is really a lucky group of mine!

Not only does it have a bad reputation, but I don't know if Lao Gu took the wrong medicine.

They actually wanted to deliver the "Two People Travel" project into their hands!

To know.

According to Lao Gu, the total investment in this game is even higher than that of "Sekiro"!

My old swan!

The total investment of Sekiro is 181 million, which is the highest investment among all their current games. It is a well-deserved 3S-level super masterpiece!

But now, the two-person trip is just the initial investment expectation, and it has already exceeded Sekiro, becoming the highest investment project of Golden Wind, with the total cost estimated to be more than 200 million dollars!

Shen Miaomiao almost laughed like crazy.

How crazy.

I don't know what Lao Gu was thinking. He actually skipped the verification period and handed over such a terrible investment project to such a garbage fighter studio.

Even, in a certain sense, the Melancholy Blues Ten are much more powerful than the seven rebel ninjas with steel-chained fingers.

Because when Steel Chain Fingers was first established, Gu Sheng even gave them a small project to practice on "Plants vs. Zombies".

"I have no opinion! I support! I agree! I believe it!"

Shen Miaomiao suppressed her wild laughter, and the corners of her mouth almost reached the back of her head.

The heart says I can have a hammer opinion!

My opinion is that the investment is not big enough!

Although our company's current accounts are not as impressive as those of Comella and Yunwei, it is still enough to be regarded as a leader among medium-sized game companies.

Although 18 billion knives cannot be taken out, 500 to 600 million knives can still be taken casually.

If you can put all this money into this one project, that would be a great project.

"But what is the specific content of this project...?"

Of course, Shen Miaomiao did not care about the quality of the content. She was just curious about what kind of project could achieve a more terrifying money-burning effect than Sekiro.

Regarding this, Gu Sheng was not comfortable revealing too much:

"Similar to our previous game "Escape", it is also a forced two-player cooperative game."

Wow-! !

Shen Miaomiao chewed up the lollipop in her mouth with a bang!

His expression of excitement was undisguised, and little stars lit up in his big eyes!

This, this, this...!

The joy comes after all the hardships, right? My time is finally coming, right? I have to make up for the losses that OW did not cause me, right?

Wu! lake!

Shen Miaomiao cheered in her heart!

God opens your eyes!

The form of "Two People" is similar to "Escape", and it can even be said that they are exactly the same.

That is to say!

"Two People" can be established as a spin-off project of "Escape"!

When I learned that "Escape" was approved as a GDC project, I very consciously extended the rebate period by 90 days, and its rebate rate also jumped from 10 times to 100 times. !

This project...tsk tsk tsk...

Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath.

Family members, who knows? It doesn't take much effort to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere.

Of course!

Apart from the most important small amount of money, Shen Miaomiao was also excited about another thing -

"Then we can play together again?!"

She had completed the previous "Escape" with Lao Gu.

And the resulting movie-like clip is saved.

She likes to play this game.

In other words, she likes to play games with Lao Gu.

And this kind of game that forces two people to cooperate is naturally the dream game that best suits her preferences.

"certainly,"

Gu Sheng smiled:

"After all, I can't play alone. How can I pass the level without you?"

"Tch—just coax me—"

Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao made a face towards Gu Sheng:

"Last time when we played Escape, you secretly started a new relationship with Lu Bian, don't think I don't know!"

"ah…"

Gu Sheng hesitated for a moment:

"I did that because... I wanted to experience another person's perspective."

"Wow-"

Shen Miaomiao applauded:

"It's an irrefutable argument."

Said.

He took out a coconut-flavored lollipop from his drawer and tore open the candy wrapper:

"Here, reward your wit! Ah—"

Seeing this, Gu Sheng also stood up and opened his mouth to swallow the lollipop in Shen Miaomiao's hand: "Ouch-" "Ouch! You're scary!"

Shen Miaomiao giggled and slapped Gu Sheng:

"You almost swallowed my hand. You're so annoying. Go, go, let's go. I'm going to watch a TV show."

After laughing and making trouble for a while, Shen Miaomiao kicked Gu Sheng out of the office.

Click.

As the office door closed, Shen Miaomiao raised her face and pursed her lips, muttering:

"Lao Gu, Lao Gu...what are you waiting for?"

After thinking for a while, Shen Miaomiao shook her head and then shrugged, looking a little helpless.

This ostrich doesn't know how long it will bury its head in the sand.

Obviously the drunken hug that night almost broke my bones, and I refused to let go even when I fell asleep. Why is this mouth so tight?

How about I come when I make enough money?

This is an investment of 200 million dollars.

Plus a 25% commission.

The sales of the game must reach an unprecedented 270 million yuan to recover the cost.

Assuming that a game costs 60 dollars, 270 million means that the game needs to sell a full 4.5 million points within the specified rebate time!

This is simply not possible.

After all, despite such a huge campaign, Overwatch has launched pre-sales in the early stage, is supported by two somatosensory cabin platforms, and is jointly promoted by three game live broadcast platforms. The number of units sold within the specified period is only over 3.1 million copies.

It can be said that the rebate time for "Two People Go" is stipulated within two weeks, there is no pre-sale, and it does not participate in publicity channels like the Golden Bull Challenge.

Then this project will definitely suffer losses, it is a certainty.

But think of this.

Shen Miaomiao was a little worried again.

Why-

But I have always been the one receiving love letters since I was a child.

How to confess...

I have no experience either...

"...You need to learn from experience if you don't have experience."

At the same time, in the project department of [Melancholy Blues] Studio.

As Golden Wind continues to grow in size, the project department where everyone worked at the beginning has now become the office location of the Golden Experience Studio.

Steel Chain Fingers and the newly added Melancholic Blues were allocated to two other equally large office spaces.

After all, the entire floor of this huge CBD belongs to the Golden Wind, and it has just been filled up now.

Gu Sheng is currently sitting in the melancholy blues project department.

The ten people in the studio were surrounding him on both sides.

Today's meeting was not too formal. After all, they had already participated in the previous conference. Chairman Shen Miaomiao welcomed them on behalf of all employees of the company.

And Dong Shen took action!

Nature is the same as before.

The knot shocked Connor and others.

Whether it is salary, project investment form, or employee benefits...

To put it bluntly, Rao, who has been in the gaming industry for more than ten years, took over Ubsoft, which has a history of 20 years and has rich working experience in the world's top companies like Yunwei. Connor and his team are also here. After listening to Dong Shen's introduction, he sighed that he was really a **** who had never seen the world.

When Director Shen said something, they all said "I bought it...".

But the more so!

As have all the employees before me.

The members of Melancholic Blues feel more and more embarrassed about their responsibilities.

after all…

Their reputation is now really in shambles and has hit rock bottom.

In fact, they wanted to take on this project.

A $200 million 3S-level super project!

Inherit the legacy of "Escape", which once shocked everyone with its skills, shocked the world at GDC, and became a hit!

This is their best chance to reverse their reputation!

Connor really wanted to take it on, and he also believed that he was capable of taking it on in terms of somatosensory cabin game development!

After all, it was his decision that made Ubsoft firmly embark on the path of somatosensory cabins.

But the problem is!

This time!

Mr. Gu doesn't seem to want to make a somatosensory cabin game. To be more precise -

He is not going to just do somatosensory cabin games!

Yes!

This work is a work that Gu Sheng took out to express his feelings to all the players in this industry that he loves.

Therefore, Gu Sheng decided to make its adaptable platform as large as possible!

He wants both the somatosensory cabin and the PC!

Moreover, in fact, games like "Escape" and "Two Players" are indeed suitable for playing on the PC platform with a controller.

Because of its unique split-screen perspective and stunning dual-perspective narrative, they are both iconic features of this type of game!

"Escape", which previously participated in GDC, was limited by the format of the conference and wanted to further target the somatosensory cabin market.

With this consideration in mind, Gu Shengcai abandoned the PC platform and allowed the game to be logged in alone in the somatosensory cabin.

but now.

Things are different.

He wants the immersive sense of substitution in the somatosensory cabin and the bizarre first-person perspective novel experience!

He also wants the refreshing split-screen overview on the PC and the perspective switching that makes people cry out for being a thief!

But this way!

It undoubtedly posed a problem for Connor and others.

after all-

The perspective of the somatosensory cabin is first person.

According to the general description of the director, on the PC platform, they have to achieve various lens performances such as "over-the-shoulder perspective", "follow-up perspective", and "over-the-eye perspective" in the third person.

and!

The performance of these lenses on the PC must also match the first-person perspective in the somatosensory cabin!

"I know, it's hard,"

In response, Gu Sheng nodded:

"Not only you, but also our company, which always likes to challenge and innovate, this is the first time for such a dual platform login of motion sensing cabin + PC,"

"You have no experience, I have no experience, everyone has no experience, but..."

Speaking of which.

Gu Sheng changed the topic, spoke seriously and said in a deep voice:

"I need this game, it means a lot to me,"

"You also need this game to make a beautiful turnaround,"

"We have no other choice,"

"so,"

"Since the establishment of the project, I, Lu Bian, and Xu Dajiang, the troika who once founded Golden Wind, will all be temporarily integrated into the Melancholy Blues project team,"

"Together, let's give the gaming world of this world a little golden shock—"

Said.

Gu Sheng stretched out his hand.

Hearing this, Connor was also filled with excitement and reached out his hand without hesitation.

Everyone folded their hands together.

Gu Sheng said in a deep voice:

"Melancholy Blues—"

Everyone shouted in unison!

"Must win!!"

PS: The update will be postponed to a day later. I have to speedrun with my partner in the Special Forces game again to make a two-player trip. I haven't played it for a long time and I forgot about it. This party is more important. You can also impress yourself. Click to say it and I will copy it (cross it out)
