Chapter 330: E3 begins! The third battle with Konami!
Exploded!
As the final title of "Resident Evil 7" came out!
The barrage section of the video suddenly exploded!
The dense barrage of comments was like a raging storm, instantly filling up the entire screen!
'OHHHHHHH——'
'Wardefa? Wardefa!'
"Fuck, I thought it was a PT spin-off at first! It turned out to be Biohazard!"
'It's just right! It's just right! It has the scary taste of PT and the biochemical feeling of Shinji Mishang! It's fucking amazing!'
"Golden Wind is awesome! Old thief is awesome!"
'Aaaaaa——The King of Horror + Super Horror IP! I can't even imagine how fierce this biohazard is! '
'This trailer gave me goosebumps! It's so fucking weird! That's what it feels like!'
'This is the biohazard produced by the old thief! I would like to call it the end of the anchor!'
'@PewDiepee, get ready pew, your grandpa Sam is back!'
'looooooooool...'
'This is definitely the main attraction of this year's E3 Golden Wind!'
'Oh my god, Sam is producing the latest Resident Evil game, this is really crazy...'
"Good boy, you've given us a big one, haven't you?"
"I can't wait..."
"……"
Without a doubt!
As the recognized "King of Terror" among the gaming community, the news that Gu Sheng would be in charge of Resident Evil immediately caused an uproar in the gaming community once it was announced!
and!
It can also be seen from the promotional video that this Resident Evil game will change the main theme of the game, which has gradually moved towards an action-shooting style since the fourth generation, and will pull the time back to twenty years ago, refocusing on the "sense of horror"!
For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, the players were screaming and cheering, full of anticipation, and the news exploded in an instant!
Of course, along with the release of this trailer, Nakamura Masakazu’s brain also exploded!
resident Evil!
This name was like a heavy hammer that hit him on the head, sending chills down his spine from the heels to the top of his head!
Indeed, in this promotional video of Golden Wind, whether it is the foggy and terrifying scenes or the creepy female nursery rhymes, they are all terrifying enough.
but!
For Nakamura, the appearance of the name "Resident Evil" is definitely more terrifying than the promotional video!
Shinji Misaka's masterpiece, a global phenomenon-level horror game IP!
Although they had heard before that Golden Wind was actively in contact with a horror game IP, it seemed that it wanted to purchase the copyright and use it to participate in the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo held in Los Angeles in September this year.
But Nakamura never expected it!
This group of crazy people from Golden Wind actually went after Shinji Sanshang, who is known to be difficult to deal with in the industry!
You must know!
Before this, Konami had coveted the super IP of Resident Evil for a long time. They originally thought that San Shang Studio would announce its dissolution after Resident Evil 6, and they could finally get this top IP to develop and continue to make money.
But I never expected this.
This San Shang Zhenji is just like a stone in the toilet - smelly and hard.
Not to mention negotiating the price, Shinji Mishang didn't even give them a chance to introduce themselves. Either he was not feeling well today and couldn't see the guests, or he would not be at home tomorrow as he would pack up his fishing rods and go fishing. Konami is almost fed up with the rejection!
result!
now!
Golden Wind actually contacted Shinji Mishang, and not only that, they even... bought the copyright of Resident Evil? !
At this year's E3, we will be competing against the world's top horror game IP Resident Evil, which is directed by Gu Sheng!
Nakamura Masashi felt as if the blood in his body had run cold!
In an instant, an extremely bad feeling rose from his heart.
He still remembered the terrible situation when Konami and Golden Wind clashed in the horror game field last time.
You know, at that time, Silent Hill had already gained a great reputation in the market for creating a groundbreaking atmosphere with the trial version PT.
But in the end, Gu Sheng still destroyed the "Silent Hill" that they spent a lot of money to create with an original new IP "Escape".
This time, not only did they not regress, but they evolved instead, pulling in a super IP of the level of Resident Evil!
Panic.
Nakamura Masakazu is not a fool. He knows very well that Gu Sheng's title of "King of Terror" is definitely not a casual remark.
If time could be turned back, he would never have signed a military order to the president, Keizo Kamikoshi, just for the title of "First of the Big Three", and would not have taken advantage of this E3 to turn Silent Hill around and make it a classic IP.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Today, the company has listed "Silent Hill: Reboot" as a key project, and it is the absolute flagship of Konami at this year's E3.
The huge investment of over 289 million dollars is an affirmation and confidence in his "Night Owl" project, and also carries the highest expectations of the company group!
He has no way out.
So, after being panicked, Nakamura Masakazu forced himself to calm down.
"Don't panic, Nakamura, the problem is not as serious as you think,"
Nakamura Masakazu comforted himself:
"There were rumors that the starting price for the copyright of Resident Evil would be upwards of $500 million,"
"That is to say, even if we make a conservative estimate, Golden Wind paid at least $500 million to acquire the Resident Evil IP..."
This is definitely a price that the Golden Wind capital flow cannot bear.
So they must have borrowed relevant funds.
But in this way, their game development costs will naturally be tightened accordingly.
After all, even the cost of acquiring copyrights is beyond their ability to afford, so their development costs will certainly be even more stretched.
The Golden Wind is getting crazier and crazier.
They were so crazy that even the previous all-in gambling could not satisfy them, they even started to borrow money to play all-in!
This is simply a fatal blow.
Obviously.
Golden Wind has placed all its bets on this global horror game IP.
"...If they fail, it will be a devastating blow to Golden Wind."
At the afternoon board meeting, Nakamura Masakazu stood in front of the projection screen and vowed:
"And this is precisely the biggest hidden danger of the Golden Wind manufacturer—"
"Even though they can succeed many times, repeated success gives them too much blind confidence, prompting them to do even crazier things,"
"As the saying goes, 'Pride comes before a fall.'"
"After so many successes, they automatically ignore the potential for catastrophic failure."
"As long as we seize this opportunity, we will be able to severely damage their foundation."
"so…… "
Speaking of this.
Nakamura Masakazu took a deep breath and looked around at the directors and senior executives present:
"I am applying to increase the budget of Silent Hill Reboot to $350 million,"
"This time, we will use a super horror masterpiece of next-generation industrial standards to wipe out the remnants of the old era."
"And the Golden Wind will surely pay a heavy price for their arrogance!"
good!
Nakamura Masakazu was indeed terrified.
But at the same time, such fear also fueled his ambition!
You know, the Resident Evil IP now has a very high status in the gaming circle!
If I could really beat "Resident Evil 7" with "Silent Hill: Reboot".
Then not only will the title of 'King of Terror' change hands, he will also be recorded in history as Shinji Misaka, and become the world's top game director with even greater achievements than Shinji Misaka with "Silent Hill"!
By then, let alone being the head of the three imperial families.
Looking around the world, I will be a unique designer who can establish my own school!
The reason why Nakamura Masakazu dared to think so was naturally because he had something to rely on.
First of all, Golden Wind spent a huge amount of money to purchase the copyright, but now it is short of money and has limited development funds. This is a foregone conclusion. In this way, it can completely crush Resident Evil 7 in terms of industrial quality through its high industrial level.
Secondly, although he himself is extremely ambitious, he is not as arrogant as Yamamoto and Koizumi.
They looked down on Golden Wind, a "small unlisted workshop", and even more so on Gu Sheng, a "game designer from a poor area".
But he is different.
He was well aware of Golden Wind's creativity, and even more aware that Gu Sheng's attainments in gaming were extraordinary.
He is willing to study hard and even "ask questions from others without feeling ashamed" to do research and imitate.
It was also because of this that he was able to reverse Konami's decline with the game "Nocturnus" and successfully join the ranks of the Big Three studios.
And this time.
Faced with Gu Sheng's "Resident Evil 7", he decided to repeat his old tricks and study Gu Sheng's "last work" at Konami - "Silent Hill PT".
Just wait and see, Golden Wind.
Arrogance will eventually make you pay a heavy price...
…
"Collecting game news and focusing on what players love, hello everyone, I am Tiantian, a reporter from Tiantian Game News!"
"Welcome everyone to watch today's special live broadcast - the first day of the 14th E3 Global Electronic Entertainment Expo!"
September.
The weather is clear and cool in autumn. The summer heat has gradually dissipated. During the pleasant temperature of the autumnal equinox, the E3 Global Electronic Entertainment Expo, one of the four major game exhibitions in the world, was held as scheduled in Los Angeles, the United States, across the ocean.
There was a crowd of people outside the venue, and countless young people gathered at the entrance of the West Hall of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, looking into the venue.
As the exclusive field reporter of Tiantian Travel News, Tiantian Fengcai is still professional and friendly. At this moment, he is introducing to the camera:
"Hello, audience friends, as you can see, we are now at the entrance of the Los Angeles International Convention Center!"
"So today, the annual E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo will be held as usual in the largest West Hall of the Convention Center."
"As one of the world's largest video game exhibitions,"
"The scale of this year's E3 exhibition is unprecedented, with more than 600 game manufacturers and studios participating, which is the largest number in history,"
"During the five-day exhibition, it is expected that more than 250,000 players will visit and experience the game..."
Amid the huge crowd, Tiantian's voice seemed to be somewhat suppressed.
As she said, players have been looking forward to this exhibition for a long time.
As the first global gaming expo in the second half of the gaming boom season, this year's E3 is packed with blockbuster titles.
In terms of sports games, Kol from Japan once again focused on football and launched the sequel to Peak Football, which was released at the same time as Titanfall as the flagship game of Yiyoux2 - Peak Football 2: Spotlight.
In terms of racing games, China's Fury also conducted in-depth research on the sensational Peak Nation and launched its first new extreme racing game - Ridge Racer.
As for shooting games, FPS from major manufacturers and studios are emerging in endlessly.
After all, the second-generation FPS mode pioneered by Left 4 Dead has now become mainstream, and PUBG after it even created the battle royale category. Titanfall, as the pinnacle of shooting game storytelling, is still talked about today. As for Overwatch, it is the standard answer that perfectly combines skills and shooting.
Manufacturers don’t even need to think about it carefully.
As long as you study one of the works under Golden Wind a little, you can create a game that players will be happy to buy in the style you are familiar with.
“…Manufacturers from all walks of life gathered here to add luster to the opening of this year’s game boom season,”
After the introduction, Tiantian changed the subject:
"Of course! In addition to the above manufacturers that we are all familiar with and look forward to,
"In this E3, there are two manufacturers that are particularly eye-catching,"
"They have fought more than once before,"
“This time, both parties have brought out their best products and launched their own blockbuster games of the same type to compete at this game expo,”
"They are Nakamura Studio from Konami in Japan and Golden Wind Games Company from China!"
As soon as these words came out!
The comments on the barrage were naturally heated!
Resident Evil 7 vs. Silent Hill 2
Today, this 'battle of focus' is no longer a secret in the gaming community.
After all, less than two weeks after the release of the first trailer for Golden Wind, Konami also released its own first trailer.
What is surprising is that the quality of "Silent Hill 2" produced by Nakamura this time is quite high.
Not only is the entire trailer filled with a familiar horror atmosphere, but some of the actual footage included in it also makes people exclaim at the explosion of industrial quality.
For a moment, it became unclear which was better.
"I order you to move quickly! Don't be ungrateful!"
'The game page has been launched on the platform, please wait for a demo to be unlocked'
'This year's event is so huge, it's going to hurt your wallet'
"Indeed, I have already pre-ordered the Ridgeline Bike. I originally planned to release it together with Resident Evil 7, but the old thief didn't even open the pre-order."
"I feel like this generation of biochemical is just right, less bang bang bang and more horror."
'I now strongly suspect that the old thief's biochemical is not as simple as a lack of Tu Tu Tu, but that the fucking Tu Tu Tu is gone (dog head)'
"Hahahahahaha indeed, after all, Phasmophobia, PT, and Escape don't have guns."
"Damn! There's no need to be so extreme, right?"
"This wave of Konami's Silent Hill seems to be of pretty good quality. I wonder if it can beat the old thief."
"Indeed, after all, the designer of this film previously produced a good work called "Night Owl", which is of a certain standard."
"If you count it, this is also the third Konami."
"It is said that the cost of this Silent Hill: Reboot has exceeded 2.5 billion yuan. It's hard to say whether Xiao Huang will be good at this."
"Fuck - 2.5 billion? Is that so outrageous?"
"By the way, Xiao Huang seems to have never announced the cost of Resident Evil 7."
"It's probably inevitable. The IP of Biochemical alone is worth a lot of money."
'Ou Zong: Don't ask, if you ask, it's just a waste'
'Hahahahahahaha this is very Ou Zong...'
"Fuck! It's happening, guys!"
"……"
Amidst the discussions, a striking line of comments floated by!
It’s nine o’clock in the morning in Los Angeles!
One of the four largest game exhibitions in the world, the second international game exhibition that Golden Wind participated in, and the global stage where it faced off against Konami for the third time.
The 14th E3 Global Electronic Entertainment Expo!
Start!!!
