Chapter 1348 The third year of E3

In the next month, Boss Jia has been accompanying his wife and children, and he has not even gone to E3 in the United States.

But this time there is no need to go, because this year Daqian has no new tricks in E3, just releases some new games.

The most important game, probably the trailers of Red Alert 2 and Warcraft 2, were released one after another, causing another huge wave in the entire game circle.

What Boss Jia didn't expect was that when "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" was announced, the whole scene was also carnival. Although the call was lower than the previous two games, it was the third highest cheer in the whole audience.

This made the entire production team of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" very excited. They always thought that their games were a free game.

In fact, the entire Daqian game is full of controversy over whether to produce "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2", because based on the data from all aspects, the data of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" is not good.

Although the total sales volume is as high as more than 50 million copies, everyone knows that this is "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a game that can be bought and given away when changing into a thousand machines. The sales volume it sells has nothing to do with the quality of the game itself.

So many people think that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a very bad game and is not worth making a sequel. It was not until Boss Jia made a decision that the game had the possibility of a sequel.

So when the production team of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" saw the audience cheering, the production team was extremely moved to go online. It seemed that they were not without fans.

This is true. No matter how bad a game is, even if it is given for free, as long as more than 50 million copies are sent to the world, it will have huge fans.

After all, Qianji Bian is the first game for many children who have never played a game console, and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will become the first game they play, and this sentiment is incomparable no matter what.

In fact, the entire production team did not conduct a detailed investigation. If they went to BBS around the world to investigate, they would find that the number of users of "Sword and Fairy" forum is actually second only to Pokemon and Diablo, as well as Super Mario, and the fourth-ranked game forum in the world.

All over the world, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" already has a huge number of fans.

In addition, Daqian Games has also announced plans for making more than 30 games. Of course, many of them are just cannon fodder, but as long as one of them can rise, it can bring huge profits.

In addition, the most important news on the scene is the performance of the Steam Game Store.

At the E3 scene, Zhong Yu, the president of Daqian Games, excitedly announced that after nearly a year of development, the Steam Game Store has already owned 2,321 offline physical stores around the world, and 892 games have been logged into the Steam Game Store.

In this year, Steam Store sold a total of 723 million games, bringing happiness to a total of 98.75 million players around the world!

Then the Steam Store announced two rankings of the game throughout the year on the spot, the first one was the sales ranking and the other was the player evaluation ranking!

Because after purchasing the game, players in the Steam Store can fill out their own review of the game and send it back to the Steam Store, this game review ranking list appears.

There is no need to say much about the game sales rankings, just the sales rankings, and then the number one is "Pokemon Gold and Silver". From July last year to July this year, a total of 46.82 million copies were sold, and the strength was unquestionable.

Then there is StarCraft.

Then there is the kart

In any case, among the top 10, Daqian Games' self-produced games occupy 7 positions, the other two belong to EA's Genesis and Capcom's Street Fighter, and finally Microsoft's Empire Age.

That's right, Microsoft, a company that currently does not seem to be involved in the gaming industry, has also launched the Age of Empires, a game that has important significance in the history of gaming.

So when Microsoft announced the release of the game at the Steam Store, many industry bigwigs exclaimed that the wolf is coming again.

Hey, why do you say again?

As for why Microsoft chose to release its own games in the Steam Store, this is normal, because the Steam Game Store has now become the largest game chain store in the world, and Microsoft does not have its own game release platform, so the sales of Steam Games is the best choice.

This is a very normal business choice, without any problems.

In fact, after the sales rankings of Steam Games were released, it did not cause much surprise, because this ranking can be calculated based on various data that have been published long ago. All players in the audience already know the order of this rankings. What surprises are there?

However, when the game rating rankings appeared, a shocking scene appeared, because the game that finally won the top rankings was actually "Zelda Ocarina of Time".

That's right, the number one in this ranking is not Daqian's game, nor even any game under the Steam Game Platform. It is not sold on the Steam Game Platform at all. It is from Nintendo's N64 game platform and was released on December 31, 2019.

Historically, this game was released in 1998, but because the current game market is much worse than that of another world, with Nintendo investing power, the largest masterpiece on N64, "Zelda Ocarina of Time", was released on the N64 platform more than a year in advance.

But no one expected that this game would be the one who would eventually dominate the rankings.

Ask yourself, is "Selda Ocarina of Time" indeed the best game in 1996?

This is certain for most game media people and even players, because "Zelda Ocarina of Time" is so excellent. Even among the top 100 historical games selected in 2018, "Zelda Ocarina of Time" can rank second, and the quality of the game is unquestionable.

But why did Daqian really hand over this ranking first place to Nintendo’s game?

In fact, even if a big boy doesn't give it, it will not have any impact, and it will not greatly affect the fairness of the entire ranking.
