Chapter 398: Unprecedented! Sandbox Game!
My eyes have been opened!
With the release of the Golden Wind's "Minecraft" trailer, the entire industry couldn't help but exclaim that today is really a day of opportunity - it's an eye-opener.
Almost all players have given up hope.
Public opinion changed overnight, and everyone was amazed at the groundbreaking nature of this game.
No game trailer has ever been
With the release of the promotional video, the entire gaming community was stunned!
The players stared with their eyes wide open, looking at everything in that block world in disbelief, which was beyond the limits of their imagination.
'So this is a world I can do whatever I want?'
"Damn... this degree of freedom is unimaginable."
'I can't even imagine how much fun it would be to explore this world of blocks'
'Coward, I just dare to think (dog head)'
'This isn't so much a game as it is a giant Lego sandbox of the gaming world'
'The most important thing is that it can fight monsters, mine, and even farm and cook! '
"I thought Stardew Valley was the ceiling of casual games. Whose general is this?!"
"The most important thing is that the last moment in the trailer when Alex clapped his hands to improve the image quality was so stunning and beautiful."
"I've seen many people say that it's a hint of a graphics mod, and Golden Wind is likely to open the creative workshop directly this time."
"That makes sense. After all, this game is all about creation."
"I can't wait any longer..."
"……"
On social media and gaming forums at home and abroad, players are enthusiastically discussing the miraculous gaming world presented by "Minecraft"!
As the saying goes, the laymen watch the excitement, while the experts are dumbfounded !
In the developer forum, colleagues were no less surprised than the players -
'No wonder Golden Wind had the guts to attend the Cologne exhibition without an engine'
'This creativity is incredible'
"This company is outrageous. When other companies are copying the game, it is researching levels. When other companies are researching levels, it is researching gameplay. When other companies are researching gameplay, it directly provides a sandbox for players to create their own gameplay..."
"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Golden Wind is indeed leading the entire gaming industry forward."
"It's no exaggeration to say that their Vampire Survivor alone has supported many small game studios."
"That's not too far-fetched. If you look at the current horror game market, eight out of ten have eliminated the weapon system and gone for the psychological horror route."
"Hey... don't mention anyone else, it's Yunwei. As the mortal enemy of Golden Wind, isn't the "Lord of the Rings: Gollum" produced this time also a platform jumping puzzle game like the two-player team?"
"I really don't know what the next wave of trends in the gaming industry will be like after Minecraft comes out ."
"To be honest, if Golden Wind hadn't been hiring, I would have quit my job and given it a try."
"Nonsense, who wouldn't want to try? We are the only company that has developed a product without a budget so far."
'It's hard to imagine how happy the employees of Golden Wind must be every day...'
"……"
Shocked the industry and beyond!
This is a game that has truly never been seen before!
Although before that, Golden Wind had created many game elements that are still popular today.
Like the "vampire-like game" created by "Vampire Survivor", the "psychological horror game" extended from "Silent Hill PT", or the "wolf-type " game type directly named after the game like "Sekiro".
but!
To a certain extent, these gameplays are evolved and improved upon the existing basic game types.
"Vampire Survivor" is a multi-game hybrid game extended from the bullet-hell game.
"Silent Hill PT" is a branch extension of horror games.
As for "Sekiro", strictly speaking, it is still a somatosensory action role-playing game. Wolf games are just a name for Gu Sheng's personal game design style, and now it has gradually evolved into a general term for "high-difficulty ARPG games."
There is no doubt that these games are groundbreaking.
Perhaps to today's players, from a distance, they seem taller than giants.
But in fact, they are just standing on the shoulders of giants.
but!
Minecraft is different.
It is not simply an extension of a certain game, nor is it an integration of various games pieced together!
Its unique gameplay and worldview, as well as its core focus on "creation", have never appeared in the long history of global game development!
Is it a casual farming game like Stardew Valley?
Yes and no.
Is it an RPG like Sekiro?
Yes and no.
Is it a construction simulation game like Brick Simulator?
Yes and no.
It seems to contain everything, yet it is so different!
Because the core of the game is not to let players complete a certain goal or perform a certain task.
It is more like simply providing a sandbox with unlimited freedom for players to spend their entire lives in this virtual game.
And it!
It truly created a new genre in the history of games!
Sam Gu, the president of Golden Wind, called it——
…
"Sandbox game?"
Cotrick looked at the tablet computer handed to him by Vice President Pétain.
The above is the tweet just posted by Sam, the president of Golden Wind.
In the tweet, Gu Sheng personally gave the most standard name to this unprecedented type of game:
【Sandbox Game】
if!
If the person who sees this message is an old hand who has been in the gaming industry for a long time, he will definitely be amazed at the appropriateness of this name!
A completely open game that focuses on creation is nothing more than a big virtual sandbox!
But what a pity!
It was Kodick who saw the message at this time.
He had no idea of the accuracy and ingenuity of the naming.
He only knows now—
"Now the entire internet, all media, and the whole world are discussing this game!"
Codick was so angry that his teeth were chattering!
It is obvious that Golden Wind did not promote this game extensively!
Not to mention that its publicity and promotion cannot compare with works like "Call of Duty", "Resident Evil" and "Sekiro".
Even Euro Truck, which just defeated them a while ago, has more publicity and distribution channels than Minecraft!
Golden Wind just casually sent out a tweet and did a little publicity in a few tepid gaming media!
That's all!
But the sensation has spread across the globe, and has even overshadowed their painstakingly prepared next-generation masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum"!
This is something Kodick can never accept!
Why did he insist on spending a huge amount of money to obtain the IP license of "The Lord of the Rings"?
Isn't it because of the fame of this world-renowned fantasy movie that made his game a huge hit, thus gaining the upper hand in the initial promotion and suppressing Golden Wind!
But now, they who should have the upper hand were instead pinned to the ground and rubbed hard by the rough cube-like people of Golden Wind!
Kodick would never be able to swallow this.
Even if he could swallow it, Wei Wangdi above his head would not let him swallow his anger!
joke.
You spend a lot of money to buy IP license, but in the end, the publicity is not even worth a dime? What the hell are you doing? Giving away money for nothing?
Capital groups like Vivendi are never afraid of spending money, but they hate it when their money doesn't show any effect.
If he doesn't want to be beaten, Kotick must think of a way!
"As time is running out for Gamescom, we need to step up our publicity efforts,"
The corner of Kotick's mouth twitched, and he said to Pétain:
“We have to make sure that the promotional momentum of Lord of the Rings overshadows that of Minecraft.”
"Well……"
Hearing this, Petain hesitated for a moment:
"But it takes some time to apply for funding. If we wait until the funds are approved before doing marketing promotion...it may be too late."
After all, they are facing the Golden Wind this time.
The publicity and promotion tactics of Golden Wind are also top-notch in the industry.
Konami has already demonstrated this to them through its own several disastrous defeats.
So, although there is still a full month and a half away from the Cologne Games Show.
But if they wanted to seize the market from Golden Wind, they had to put in all their efforts and seize every possible promotional position in the shortest possible time, and they must not give Golden Wind any breathing space or time.
But in this case, the expenses will naturally be huge.
"We have other projects, don't we?"
In response, Kodick was really angry:
"Since our main product this time is The Lord of the Rings: Gollum,"
"In order to win the spotlight, we have to temporarily sacrifice some of the publicity and promotion resources for other participating projects,"
"You should apply for publicity and promotion funds. Now, immediately transfer all resources from other projects to The Lord of the Rings."
"We must reverse the current unfavorable marketing situation as quickly as possible,"
"Otherwise, the situation will only become increasingly unfavorable for us,"
"You know, Golden Wind is holding 3 billion dollars from Konami."
"Now they are..."
…
Super dog owner!
Shen Miaomiao watched helplessly as a huge sum of 3 billion dollars appeared out of thin air on the company's account!
Getting something for nothing!
The ultimate second-hand dealer!
Yes.
Today, Kamijou Jingzheng has been safely sent to Northern Europe, thousands of miles away, where he lives his later years in anonymity.
As a price, Joetsu handed over 7.85% of the shares in his hands free of charge, which became the key to the power transition of Konami and the windfall of Golden Wind.
With confidence in her heart and money in her hands, Shen Miaomiao, who was sitting next to Peng Xiaopang, was naturally full of energy and vitality.
"Little Fatty."
"Hey, Sister Miao."
"Tell me more about this meeting. I don't know much about this industry."
"[Binjiang City Major Project Construction Mobilization Meeting], hey, to put it bluntly, it's still about the development of the southern area..."
