Chapter 367: Europa Game Show! Of course I have to drive the Euro Truck to participate!
"It's the Europa Game Show! Of course I have to drive EuroTruck to participate!"
Just when Gu Sheng was chatting with Shinji Mishang in Japan.
At the same time, in the first meeting room of Nuyan Company in Zhongjing, China, Director Li Xiaofeng also spoke with a smile!
good!
This time, the game that Golden Wind and Raging Flame collaborated on was none other than Euro Truck Simulator, which was praised by Gu Sheng in his previous life as one of the "Four Great Classics after Steam" and the masterpiece "Car"!
Just as Gu Sheng said.
It really is a race that isn't really a race.
The game is told from a truck driver's perspective, from car rental at the beginning to truck purchase in the future.
You will drive world-renowned heavy trucks such as Scania, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, etc., speeding through the streets and alleys of Europe.
From London to Rotterdam, from Milan to Vienna.
Delivering goods and earning commissions is your ultimate goal in the game.
The scenery along the way and the music coming from the radio are the best medicine to heal your restless heart.
Become a Truck Driver
That's all there is to this game.
Indeed, in this game, it is difficult for you to experience the thrill of racing. Even if you choose the online mode and travel with friends, what awaits you is endless highway traffic jams.
There will be no competitors biting at your ass, and no timers urging you to go faster and faster.
The only purpose of your game is the delivery of goods and the settlement of commissions, which is as plain as water.
But it is precisely because of this characteristic that Ouka is given the most unique experience.
Although in this game, Golden Wind will work with Rage Games to contact as many heavy truck manufacturers as possible to obtain the most realistic data and restore and present them one by one.
But it is conceivable that during the journey, players will not pay much attention to their dashboards, but will look out the window as much as they want.
There is the Seine River bathed in golden sunset, there is the bright sunflower fields outside Padua, there is the dreamlike sea of lavender in Provence.
At the same time, you can also choose to sync to the local radio station and listen to an evening music program in the quiet night -
"It's 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhongjing time. The night is quiet and the years are the same. Welcome to listen to today's..."
Although it is busy, it is a haven for enjoying tranquility.
It is a soothing medicine in the hectic city and also good news for many patients suffering from electronic sheep atrophy.
Driving games are not just about the roar of motors.
Put your hands on the steering wheel, open the window, and enjoy the artistic breeze of Florence. This may be an unforgettable journey in your life.
only……
“…Is this really racing?”
After listening to Li Xiaofeng's introduction, Zhang Ling, the person in charge of the Qingmiao Studio in charge of this project, hesitated a little and raised his hand to signal:
"This kind of game... seems to have no precedent?"
Zhang Ling felt a little unsure.
You know! This is not the first time he has participated in the Europa Expo!
What kind of games are there at that exhibition?
Sports cars! Beautiful women! Wild rally! Formula X!
It is a stage for displaying the combination of strength and skills, and a super race track where adrenaline surges!
Let's... bring a bunch of trucks to the exhibition?
The criterion of speed racing has always been to see who can stimulate the player's adrenaline the most.
But there has never been any manufacturer that aims to make players feel tranquility and enjoy the scenery as the purpose of the game!
Will players really buy it?
In fact, about this!
Li Xiaofeng didn't know either, and he couldn't guarantee it.
but!
"Besides this, do we have any other choice?"
Li Xiaofeng sighed slightly and looked at Zhang Ling.
Speechless.
Zhang Ling fell silent, and the entire Qingmiao Studio fell silent as well.
They have no choice.
As a company that started out as a racing game and has always focused on this track, every designer and programmer working in Fury knows that -
The creativity of today's racing games has long dried up, and we have entered an era of industrial power arms race.
In racing, speed is king, and no matter how things change, the essence remains the same.
No matter you are playing stand-alone or online.
Shifting gears, stepping on the accelerator and rushing to the finish line is the ultimate destination and core gameplay of all racing games.
Under such circumstances, all manufacturers can do is to continuously improve the industrial quality of the game.
Make the picture more and more realistic, and make the somatosensory feedback more and more immersive.
But.
In terms of industrial technology, how could they be a match for Yunwei?
The scene was silent!
Sato, who had been sitting next to him, spoke up:
"Gentlemen, I think we should have more confidence in ourselves."
good!
Since it is a cooperative development, the three chief executives of Steel Chain Fingers - Sato, Yuki, and Okura, naturally also temporarily joined the Fury and acted as "golden reinforcements" to lead the project development.
Hearing that Sato, a Japanese, could speak such standard Mandarin, everyone in Nuyan was a little surprised and looked at him.
Then Sato said:
"Before Left 4 Dead, no one thought that guns could be aimed realistically,"
"Before PUBG, no one thought that shooting games could be made into battle royale modes,"
"Before PT, we had never heard of the concept of psychological horror,"
"Before A Way Out we never thought cinematic games could be so powerful,"
“Peak Nation started the trend of extreme sports, It Takes Two was the pinnacle of cooperative gaming, and Stardew Valley was the legend of casual farming,”
" We created all of this from scratch,"
“This time, we will continue to use the creativity of Golden Wind and the rich experience accumulated by Fury Games over the past decade to create a new racing game category.”
"Yunwei, we have fought before,"
"It wasn't a very nice end for them,"
“This time, it’s the same.”
A few words!
What he said made everyone present feel excited!
yes.
Their partner this time is Golden Wind!
This company has created countless legends in the gaming industry since its establishment!
The project plan in their hands at the moment was written by Gu Sheng, the chief game designer of Golden Wind and one of the top !
Yunwei is indeed powerful.
But precisely because of its power, they had to take an unconventional approach!
now!
There are no more choices before them, only the word "believe"!
Believe in Mr. Gu! Believe in the golden wind! Believe in the steel chain fingers!
As Sato said -
Yun Wei once fought against Golden Wind. Although Golden Wind was weaker than the others, he still beat Codick badly.
And this time, the result will be no exception!
Seeing the soldiers under his command nodding one after another!
Li Xiaofeng sincerely admired the confidence and tenacity of the studios under Golden Wind and clapped his hands:
"Since no one has any objections, Director Sato, please tell us about the specific arrangements for the project, starting with the budget."
Swoosh——
Everyone looked at Sato.
Sato was slightly stunned, as if he was a little unfamiliar with the word: "Estimation?"
Amaterasu!
How long has it been since I heard that word?!
After hesitating for a moment, he subconsciously asked: "How many... do you have?"
"ah……?"
Now it was Li Xiaofeng's turn to be confused by the question:
"How much? Director Sato, what do you mean?"
"At once……"
Sato spread his hands, seeming a little embarrassed:
"How much funds do you have available now?"
quiet.
Deathly silence!
Li Xiaofeng's mouth was slightly open, his eyes were even trembling a little, and his pupils revealed a deep fear!
Damn!
What the hell is he asking?
What is he going to do?
What does it mean how much disposable funds we have?
What's the matter?
Now I want to ask you: "How much do you want?" Are you going to answer: "I want as much as you have"?
"Please...excuse my intrusion..."
Li Xiaofeng stared blankly for a long while before he slowly opened his mouth and asked tentatively:
"That is... in your Golden Wind, how do you determine the amount of budget?"
Hearing this!
In full view of everyone!
Sato slowly shook his head and opened his mouth:
"We don't usually...consciously determine...a budget,"
"Just... uh... well... spend as much as you can..."
As soon as these words came out!
The whole place was dead silent!
ah???
Indeed!
As colleagues in the Chinese game industry, everyone here has long heard that Golden Wind has always been known for its life-and-death investments and has never cared about the development costs.
But they never expected that Golden Wind not only didn’t care, they didn’t even make a budget!
Just spend it!
The best thing is to show the momentum that "the cost is just the upper limit of the company's capital pool, not the upper limit of our game"!
At this moment, Li Xiaofeng suddenly realized!
No wonder these guys are always able to produce games like "PUBG", "Titanfall", "Sekiro", "It Takes Two" and "Resident Evil 7" whose investment does not match their size.
They just keep throwing money at it without even leaving themselves a way out. Aren't they going to do anything big?
"Because... our CEO Shen said before..."
Sato gave an awkward yet polite smile and explained:
"What we have always pursued is to make the game as good and refined as possible within the limits of the company's financial capacity,"
"In Mr. Shen's opinion, cost is linked to the imagination and creativity of employees, and is directly related to the quality of the game,"
"If we don't even dare to think about it and are afraid to spend money, we won't be able to make good games, and we won't be able to produce good games,"
"After all... uh..."
"Golden Wind is a gaming company, not a cost-budgeting company,"
"The money issue...is not something we need to consider..."
Original words.
Heaven and earth’s conscience!
Sato grinned secretly in his heart.
I didn't make this up. This is what our CEO Shen said at the meeting. These are her exact words!
Li Xiaofeng also believes this.
Who is Shen Miaomiao?
He is the outstanding young entrepreneur whose net worth has grown most rapidly in the past decade!
She is also the daughter of Shen Wanlin, the helmsman of Shen Capital Group!
Could it be that they are short of money?
But... this fucking...
Li Xiaofeng's legs felt a little weak, and he held onto the table and sat down at the first seat in the conference room, feeling so embarrassed that his toes touched the ground.
I can’t do it!!!
We just seem to be bigger than you, with more assets, but that's because we are listed, so our numbers are very inflated!
You really want me to get straight to the point. Not to mention me, even our CEO doesn’t have this right!
For a moment, the situation was awkward!
Li Xiaofeng didn't even know what expression he should have when facing the surprised and envious looks from the people in Qingmiao Studio!
It seemed that Zhang Ling and his group of people were so envious that tears were about to flow out of their mouths!
Unlimited budget!
Houli Crab, does this fucking really exist?
“Ahem!”
So long!
Feeling the atmosphere was really awkward, Yuki finally couldn't help but speak:
"Uh, that is... otherwise..."
"Director Li, let's talk about the planning of the "Oka" project first?"
"As for the budget, we'll finalize the plan later... and then calculate it?"
call--
"Oh, okay, okay! No problem, no problem! This is the best!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to this beautiful lady, I was finally saved from being roasted on the fire.
However, before he could finish his breath.
Yuki smiled softly, nodded and said:
"First we have to go to Europe to shoot on location."
puff--!!!
Li Xiaofeng felt a tightness in his chest and almost vomited a mouthful of blood. He wanted to cry but had no tears!
Golden Wind?
The money-burning trend!!!
Steel fingers?
Money fingers!!!
These aren't reinforcements; they're a bunch of money-burning machines!
That's it!
He also has to apologize!
I'm so sorry, young masters and young ladies from Golden Wind. I didn't know that you had never fought such a poor battle. I'm really sorry that you have been wronged.
Private Marseille woooo ...
This way!
Li Xiaofeng wailed in his heart, feeling the slight shock from the golden wind.
On the other hand, a shocking storm initiated by the golden wind, sweeping across the world, also hit!
The shocking nuclear network conspiracy has unfolded!
A modern war symphony woven with blood and fire begins!
It’s mid-November!
Golden Wind’s first 3S-level shooting game masterpiece with an investment of more than 300 million US dollars - "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" - has arrived as promised!
