Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What The Hell Is Titanfall?
/ Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 546
Chapter 546 The iron law? Absurd!
“Why are you so excited?”
As if he noticed the sly look of little Nezha, Gu Sheng frowned and looked at the person next to him in confusion:
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ah? Is there any?"
Gu Sheng's question made Shen Miaomiao startled and she opened her mouth with an awkward smile:
"Am I...excited?"
I'm so excited!
Shen Miaomiao waved her hand to dismiss Gu Sheng's doubts, but she felt excited in her heart!
joke.
The biggest rebate in five years!
Whoever is not excited!
You know, this "Resident Evil VIII" is the largest comprehensive investment project in history!
The copyright fee alone costs 188 million U.S. dollars!
The production cost was as high as 245 million U.S. dollars, twice as much as the previous "Resident Evil VII"!
The total normal production costs alone are more than 400 million!
Under the terrifying cost, it is not easy for any game manufacturer in the world to make back the money within a month.
but!
For Golden Wind, for Gu Sheng, the "merely" cost of 400 million does not seem to be safe.
But the good news!
In addition to normal copyright and development expenses, Shen Miaomiao also has an ultimate killer investment project!
That is the cost for purchasing Dream Engine shares and upgrading the Golden Engine—
3.15 billion knives!
When she thought of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but want to laugh.
God, three billion dollars!
Before Golden Wind had developed to such an extent, she once asked Lao Gu how high the maximum production cost of a game could be based on the situation at the time.
At the beginning, Lao Gu's answer was about 500 million, not counting various marketing announcements.
So all this time, she never dared to think that the production cost of a game could exceed the peak of 500 million.
But now!
The emergence of the "forced counter-kill" golden engine has completely broken the cost limit of Golden Wind game production.
Short-term technological leaps make the cost of upgrading the golden engine higher each time.
From 100 million, to 1.8 billion, to 3 billion!
With the terrifying investment growth, no matter how popular Golden Wind's game is, it can no longer keep up with the speed of her "wasting money"!
after all!
Now calculated comprehensively, the total cost of the game "Resident Evil VIII" has reached a terrifying amount of 3.583 billion U.S. dollars!
Thinking.
Gu Sheng next to him also put aside his troubles for the time being and opened the statistics backend of China Entertainment Electronics, preparing to take a look at Sheng 8's total sales statistics for a single month.
That's right, it was not Shen Miaomiao who asked to check the data this time, but Gu Sheng took the initiative to look at it.
The reason is also very simple -
"Resident Evil VIII" is the flagship **** masterpiece of Yiyoux3. The sales volume will directly affect the future sales development and reputation of Yiyoux3.
The sales trend of Yiyu x3 is directly related to the realization of the ultimate goal of Golden Wind.
This is the beginning of a new era.
Gu Sheng attaches great importance to it.
He has never needed the affirmation of a good result as much as he does now.
"So what counts as a good grade?"
Shen Miaomiao asked as she looked at the last few minutes left on the clock.
"Get your money back,"
Gu Sheng said:
"If you can successfully recover the cost in a single month of sales, it is considered a good result."
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but be stunned.
It seems that Lao Gu's words sound like "the earth is round" -
When they were still weak, Lao Gu regarded "recovery of capital" as the passing line for a game's market performance.
Although this passing line is already quite abnormal for other game manufacturers, games with Golden Wind are obviously even more abnormal.
Not to mention getting your money back in a single month.
Even with such a perverted achievement as getting back your money in a single week, Golden Wind has achieved it more than once or twice.
Now, when Gu Sheng once again used "recovery in one month" as a criterion to measure the success of "Resident Evil VIII", at first glance, it seemed a bit "not enterprising".
but!
Think about it carefully!
You will be shocked and secretly say, “That's not right!”
Because Sheng8 is such a completely exclusive game!
And it is a newly released exclusive game for the domestic somatosensory cabin!
To know!
Throughout the ten years of the development of somatosensory cabin games, "exclusive escorts" have emerged one after another!
Whether it is the Yunwei series or the Camela series, the release of each new generation of somatosensory cabins is indispensable without the support of its top studios to **** masterpieces!
Looking back at the performance of these world's top studios, an iron-clad "law" seems to have never been broken -
That is "it is difficult to make back the money in a short time with an exclusive escort."
It's normal and reasonable.
After all, games ultimately require platform support, and a newly launched somatosensory platform cannot be rolled out in a short period of time.
Therefore, the cost recovery of most "exclusive escorts" generally takes about three quarters to complete.
Even if it is shorter, it will take at least two quarters.
That's it!
This is still the case with Yunwei and Comella, two somatosensory cabin giants who once dominated the Eastern and Western hemispheres and commanded the vast majority of the global market share.
And the somatosensory cabin of Sheng8 Landing is an art tour—
A domestic somatosensory cabin.
At this time, looking back at Gu Sheng's "small goal", the difficulty becomes apparent.
This time, he not only has to challenge the "iron law" that has not been broken in the ten years of somatosensory cabin development. It is even more important to lead the somatosensory cabin independently developed and manufactured by Huaguo to completely gain a foothold in the international market, occupy the position of tiger and dragon, and secure its position as the leader!
Jingle Bell-! !
As Gu Sheng finished speaking!
The alarm that was set early in the morning suddenly rang!
For a moment, both people on the sofa took a deep breath!
"Guys at Radisson, it's time to witness the miracle—"
With Gu Sheng's wave of his hand!
Click!
The page refreshed, and at exactly 9pm Beijing time, the monthly sales results of "Resident Evil VIII: Village" suddenly appeared on the giant projection—!
[Total number of sets sold worldwide: 7751456 sets]
[Estimated sales revenue: 503 million knives]
500 million revenue!
7.75 million sets!
A miracle has arrived!
OHHHHHHHH—!
Gu Sheng jumped up from the sofa, clenched his hands and raised his arms and shouted!
Iron law?
Absurd!
It is true that the sales volume of 7 million units is nothing to the historical achievements of Golden Wind. Whether it is "Plants vs. Zombies" that is suitable for all ages or "Minecraft" which is firmly one of the best-selling games in the world, it can Cover it easily.
And the revenue of 500 million US dollars is just a drop in the bucket for Golden Wind's current capital needs of 5 billion.
but!
What Gu Sheng values is not its superficial achievements, but the deep impact brought by this achievement!
The sales of seven million sets represents players' expectations and affirmation of the new motion sensing technology!
The revenue of 500 million US dollars means that the door to a new somatosensory era has opened!
not far away!
The throne of the King of Games has been unveiled and is waiting for the arrival of the Lord of the new era!
Gu Sheng is excited!
On the side, Shen Miaomiao jumped up and mounted her "director's mount" again!
Wuhu! take off!
Shen Miaomiao was so happy that she went crazy!
The documents in my mind have never been so kind -
[Main Project: Resident Evil VIII]
[Project investment amount: 3.583 billion U.S. dollars]
[Project settlement time: 28 days (+0 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 2 times (+0 times)]
[Note: According to system regulations, if the host invests in an established project through the manager, the rebate rate will be reduced to 1/5]
[Current revenue: $503 million]
[Project loss amount: 3.08 billion U.S. dollars]
[Project rebate amount: 6.16 billion U.S. dollars]
【Ding! Project loss detected! Calculating! 】
【Ding! The loss settlement is completed and the rebate has been issued to the host's personal bank card! 】
Six billion dollars!
Rebate arrives!
What did I say! What did I say!
Shen Miao was so beautiful that she was almost bubbling over.
Has the four-week period come and the female Dragon King returns to her throne? (crooked mouth)
Private yacht?
My aunt can tie a bunch of private yachts together with iron wires and drive them out like a chain of iron ropes!
Think about the old shabby little rental house I lived in before. I had a high fever in the middle of the night and had to drink a cup of milk tea from Sister Chu Chu!
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh that what the ancients said was so good. Before a big task was given by heaven, it was really the one who struggled with his mind, strained his muscles and bones, and starved his body!
But now, the clouds are finally clearing and the moon is shining brightly!
"As expected of my man, awesome Xiao Gu!"
Shen Miaomiao, who was hanging on Gu Sheng like a koala, put her arms around Lao Gu's neck and did not hesitate to give her a warm and fragrant kiss. She was obviously very happy.
"Are you praising me or yourself?"
Gu Sheng held little Nezha in his arms and looked into her big, shining eyes.
"All praised!"
Shen Miaomiao laughed:
"But mainly I am more powerful!"
"Wow, no sir,"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and placed little Nezha on the back of the sofa:
"I made the game, and I upgraded the engine. How can you, a hands-off shopkeeper, be better than me?"
"Because I have a sharp eye and know pearls!"
Shen Miaomiao bared her little white teeth and tapped the tip of Gu Sheng's nose:
"If it weren't for this girl's discerning eye, how could we be here today?"
"Well - you don't need to use the cute refrain at this time,"
Gu Sheng smacked his lips and corrected himself:
"Although theoretically it sounds like what you said, I still think I'm stronger."
Shen Miaomiao wrinkled her little nose: "Then you must have a reason..."
"The reason is..."
Gu Sheng rolled his eyes and pretended to think, and then he kissed the corner of the mouth of the lovely person in front of him:
"I can't explain it in a few words, why don't you give me some insight?"
"Hello-"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao bit her red lips and couldn't help but let out a whimper.
But his eyes were filled with a fiery and cunning light like a little fox. A pair of jade hands gently opened the buttons on Gu Sheng's collar, exhaling like orchid, and murmuring as softly as hibiscus spring water:
"Bad guy..."
Bada.
The dim and warm light shone in the room where light and shadow intertwined.
The furry and cute bear slippers fell down, and the slender white jade toes drew a graceful arc, swaying slowly like soft water plants in the misty halo...
PS: I'll write a chapter while I'm in a better mood, and I'll try to do it at night, Xiaobu, try your best
