Chapter 1654 "The Legend of Galactic Heroes"
Chapter 1,654 "Heroes of the Galaxy"
Alliance against Forest. Regarding the alliance plan proposed by "EA", "Ubisoft" and "Nintendo", the other 10 game companies are not too surprised. The strength of "Second World" is obvious to all, especially "World War"
The terrifying number of online players in these two public betas has put these 13 game companies in trouble. There is no public beta of "World War" yet, so players should play it. For these game companies, there is no
What impact.
But what if "War of the Worlds" is in public beta? There are only so many people in the world. Putting aside the people who don't know how to play games (the elderly and young children), and then taking into account the people who are not interested in games, and the people who can't play games because of something else,
A more optimistic estimate of the number of game players in the world is less than 1 billion. The game player base of less than 1 billion, "World War" will account for about 700 million. Tell me, how can these game companies survive?
.
In particular, online games are usually the most time-consuming games. There are many players who have spent hundreds or thousands of hours. By then, everyone will play "War of the Worlds", who will play their games.
Alliance against Lin seems to be the only way out. But what are the benefits of their alliance? Alliance, alliance, there must be benefits. Although everyone has a common enemy - Lin Feng, how can they fight against it after alliance?
Lin Feng? This is not a battlefield. The two sides have agreed on how many troops and generals will be sent to attack the city. This is the business world, and it is a very special game world. This kind of alliance, for the presidents of these 10 companies,
It seems that there is no beneficial gain in sight. On the contrary, offending Lin Feng will cause big trouble. This person has always been revengeful and unjust.
"Everyone, I know you are wondering about the benefits of the alliance. I think there are no really practical benefits. There are just some hopes, a hope that will prevent Lin Feng from covering the sky with one hand in the gaming world."——
“EA” President Peter Moore said solemnly.
The presidents of 10 game companies frowned. It would not be cost-effective to offend a troublesome person like Lin Feng without any actual benefits.
Thinking of this, the presidents of these 10 game companies looked disdainful. Maybe, the three companies "EA", "Ubisoft" and "Nintendo" are just preparing to use them as spearmen, letting them charge in the front, while they are on their own.
Get the fruits of victory later. And after the alliance, who will give the orders? And after the alliance, if you want to deal with Lin Feng, you will definitely have to spend money. Who will pay for the money? If the benefits are obtained, how will they be divided? These are all questions.
"Everyone, we are very sincere. This alliance is definitely for the sake of everyone. In order to preserve a pure land in the gaming industry and prevent Lin Feng from monopolizing power and monopolizing the gaming industry, such an alliance was established. In this alliance
, everyone’s status is equal, and there is no intention of anyone commanding anyone. As for all possible expenses in the future, I think everyone is a business elite, so this should not be a problem, according to the old rules. As for the division of benefits,
That would be simpler. The method of equal distribution is definitely unrealistic. I believe that everyone will not agree with this communist approach. Therefore, when the time comes, the division will be based on everyone's contribution. I think everyone should have no problem.
” - explained Ubisoft President Ives Gullimote.
The presidents of the 10 game companies nodded. But what they said was correct, but everyone was still a little hesitant to confront Lin Feng directly. After all, there was no direct conflict between them and Lin Feng at the moment, so they went there rashly at this time.
Offending Lin Feng and having a head-on conflict with Lin Feng is a bit uneconomical. Lin Feng's character is not a traditional Chinese character. He is peaceful in everything. This guy is quite unpeaceful. If you offend him, he will definitely be with you.
You'll never stop it. Then it won't be worth it to have a fight with Lin Feng to the death.
"Everyone, there is an old saying in China - be prepared for a rainy day and do everything in advance, otherwise it will be too late to deal with the situation when it comes. Do you hope to watch Lin Feng monopolize the gaming industry in the end? You guys
Take a look at China. Before Lam Feng came out, its domestic game companies could be described as hundreds of companies blooming. But now, in addition to a few companies such as 'Giant' and 'NetEase', there are also several game companies.
Company? And in this 'giant', 'NetEase', Lin Feng also holds a large share. The current domestic game environment in China is the world's game environment in the next ten years, or five years from now. Do you think so!
"-"Nintendo" President Satoru Iwata looked serious.
"The world's game environment is different from China's game environment!" the president of the American eidos Entertainment snorted.
Iwata Satoru smiled coldly.
"Indeed, the world's gaming environment is different from China's domestic gaming environment, but don't forget that the American companies Valve and Blizzard have been acquired by Lin Feng. It is no exaggeration to say that the Second World is currently the world's most
A well-known company. The future belongs to the Internet, and games will gradually enter the era of online games from the era of stand-alone games. Lin Feng not only owns 'Baidu Yahoo' but also owns 21.5% of the shares of 'Google'. Who do you think can compete with us in the next few years?
Lin Feng competes?" Satoru Iwata said sarcastically.
The expressions of the 10 game companies turned cold. Indeed, Lin Feng has such a huge network advantage. In this Internet era, Lin Feng's advantage is too great. However, they do not want to conflict with Lin Feng now. Because Lin Feng is really
It's a bit too much and the hatred must be retaliated. If they can defeat Lin Feng in one fell swoop, that would be great. If they can't defeat Lin Feng, then they will be on tenterhooks when Lin Feng takes revenge.
What's more, there is another fundamental problem. How can they compete with Lin Feng after they have established an alliance? We can't just spend some money and buy some mercenaries to assassinate Lin Feng after everyone forms an alliance. That is a common practice on the battlefield.
Means, not the business world. The business world can only attack competitors through business means, but cannot directly assassinate them. Of course, some very despicable and incompetent people will use this method, but they will not. Because they are only company presidents,
rather than the owner of the company.
In other words, even if the company collapses, they can only find another place to find employment. At most, they will be unemployed until the end of the day. But if they choose to assassinate Lin Feng, they will go to jail. Unemployment is lighter than going to jail.
It’s clear at a glance which one is more important.
A bunch of old foxes!——The presidents of the three companies "EA", "Ubisoft" and "Nintendo" looked at each other and cursed in their hearts.
These people naturally hope to defeat Lin Feng and then seize the "second world" market, but they do not want to offend Lin Feng without any practical plan. If they want to offend Lin Feng, they can,
The three game companies must come up with practical plans.
"Everyone, our three companies have a very practical plan. The current flagship product of 'Second World' is "World War", a super game with an investment of US$1.3 billion." Speaking of US$1.3 billion, Satoru Iwata's heart trembled.
.This damn Lin Feng is so rich that he actually spent US$1.3 billion to develop a game. This is really an exaggeration.
Not only Iwata was a little helpless, but other game companies were also disappointed with this figure. They are also considered the best game companies in the world, but it is difficult for them to spend 1.3 billion US dollars to develop a game!
"So, as long as "War of the Worlds" cannot reap the expected profits, the 'Second World' will be in trouble. Don't forget that "War of the Worlds" has invested more than 100 game super servers around the world, and its operating expenses and maintenance
The daily cost is more than 3 million U.S. dollars. If "War of the Worlds" cannot make enough profits, it will be a fatal blow to the 'Second World.'" Satoru Iwata snorted.
"Mr. Satoru Iwata, do you mean to compete with "War of the Worlds"? Have 'EA', 'Ubisoft', and 'Nintendo' developed a similar online game?" Jeff Bell, President of Microsoft's Game Division
Asked doubtfully.
"No, our three companies have not developed similar games." - "EA" President Peter Moore said.
"Then how are you going to compete with "War of the Worlds"? You can't just shout slogans here. Competition in the gaming world depends on excellent games, not brand, word of mouth, or fame." Jeff Bell said coldly.
.
"President Bell, you don't have to worry. Although we don't have it now, it doesn't mean that we won't have it in the future." - "Ubisoft" President Yvis Gullimote said confidently, "We now have a game script in our hands - "
"Heroes of the Galaxy," which is adapted from an interstellar science fiction novel, has a huge market in Asia, Europe, and America, and is especially popular in China."
Jeff Bell and others looked thoughtful. They had also heard of the name "Heroes of the Galaxy". Many people had also read it. This interstellar science fiction novel written by a Japanese is indeed great. And it is now in the United States.
The interstellar TV series and movies are very popular. It would be really good if "Heroes of the Galaxy" is adapted into an online game. What is particularly pleasing about this science fiction novel is that it has two protagonists, one of whom is Rein.
Hart-von Lohenkramm is a typical Westerner, while the other protagonist Yang Wen-li is a typical Asian, or Chinese. It can be said that this novel is quite lovable, both for Easterners and Westerners.
like.
"Everyone, the world described in "Galaxy Heroes" is a very vast world. Adapting it into an online game can be comparable to the "Second World" of "World War", no, it will be even better. Because
"War of the Worlds" is just a war game, but "Heroes of the Galaxy" also has a plot and protagonist charm that can attract anyone, which is incomparable to "War of the Worlds,"" Satoru Iwata said proudly.
The reason why Satoru Iwata adapted "Heroes of the Galaxy" into an online game this time is to fight against the "World War" of the "Second World". In Satoru Iwata's view, "Heroes of the Galaxy" is Japan's most famous science fiction novel.
It is a classic masterpiece by master Yoshiki Tanaka. In Japan, there are endless games about "Heroes of the Galaxy", and each game can have a good sales rate. "Heroes of the Galaxy" is actually the most suitable to be adapted into an online game.
It's just that the Japanese game industry doesn't pay too much attention to the online game market, so it has never been adapted into an online game. In addition, if you want to adapt "Bank Heroes" into an online game, you really need an extremely excellent game development team.
, otherwise it will ruin this masterpiece. The reason why Satoru Iwata brought it up this time is that he believes that the strength of 13 game companies is enough to transform this masterpiece into the best online game, in order to compete with "The World"
"The Great War" is also promoting the great Japanese culture.
Of course, the important thing is that there are many, many fans of "Heroes of the Bank" in China. Before this, Satoru Iwata once conducted a survey and found that the number of readers who have read "Heroes of the Galaxy" in China exceeds at least 100 million, and
More than 30% of them have watched it at least 2 times, and more than 10% of people have watched it more than 3 times. There are still many ardent fans of "Heroes of the Galaxy" in China, and Reinhard von Lohengramm talks about it every day
He and Yang Wenli argued endlessly about who was more powerful.
Therefore, if "Galactic Heroes Online" is enthusiastically welcomed in China and eventually surpasses the popularity of "War of the Worlds", Iwata believes that Lin Feng's face will be very, very exciting. Unparalleled excitement. And for Iwata
For Cong, being able to defeat Lin Feng at his home court is definitely the happiest thing in the world. This is also a perfect response to Lin Feng's establishment of the "Second Game Company" in Japan and his desire to invade the Japanese game market.
arms.
"Mr. Satoru Iwata, this plan is indeed good. But what I want to ask is that currently, "War of the Worlds" will be in public beta in two months, while "Heroes of the Galaxy" seems to be still in the planning stage. According to an online
Calculating the development cycle of the game, it will take at least 2 years for "Heroes of the Galaxy" to be released. During these 2 years, "World War" may have already unified the market. By then, how will "Heroes of the Galaxy" compete with Lin Feng?
Competition? Maybe, before "Heroes of the Galaxy" is launched, our game company may be acquired by Lin Feng!" - the president of edios company said with a frown.
The presidents of the remaining nine game companies nodded. This is a very important question. Time, do they have time now?
Chapter completed!
