Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

"How about it, has the sales data of Hong Huang's new game come out?"

In a game manufacturer.

A senior approached the subordinate in charge of statistics.

Now, one night has passed since the release of Hong Huang's new game.

Even their competitors are very concerned about the sales of this game. After all, it is the only relatively large FPS game this year outside of Huaihai.

"Director, it has been calculated that their game only sold 10,000 copies on all platforms in the first 12 hours."

The employee opened a form and said slowly.

"10,000 copies? So few?" The director raised his brows, a little surprised, "It seems that Hong Huang has been underestimated this time, and even wanted to come here to distribute cakes classified by FPS."

10,000 copies in half a day, even if it doubles in 24 hours, it is only 20,000 copies.

Counting the time cost, Hong Huang's game is basically completely cool.

Other manufacturers who received the news also gloated.

"Haha, I just said that the FPS market is saturated and oversupplied, and there is only a dead end to enter."

"It's not good to do apocalyptic themes, but to make FPS. The current market for gunfight games is no longer what it used to be."

"Do you really think that there are a few popular games and you can choose any genre? Honghuang is still a little too young."

"The game industry, after all, depends on adapting to the market. If players don't buy it, it's useless to do it well."

Now is the era of heroes rising together.

No manufacturer can completely dominate the game industry, so it is naturally impossible to make games according to one's will.

Honghuang's failure case made them understand this truth even more, and it also completely dispelled their idea of ​​making FPS games.

the other side.

Inside Hong Huang's studio.

Lao Song, who just came to work, also got the sales data from the staff statistics, and sighed.

After all, this is their first FPS game.

And it also uses the recently emerging doomsday theme.

Of course, I hope that the sales data will look better, at least not too bad.

In this way, at least it can gain a foothold in this large market and let players know that they have the strength to make this type of game.

But the estimated score of 20,000 copies on the first day was still much worse than his previous estimate.

Not even half of the 60,000 sales of "Sekiro" on the first day.

You must know that in order to open up the market, they kept the price of the new game very low, and even released it on all platforms.

Now it can't even cover the production cost.

Sure enough, was the decision to forcibly insert into the FPS market wrong?

"What shall we do now?"

Lao Song looked at Chen Lin who was at the side.

"What else can I do, cold salad." Chen Lin shrugged, "We have done everything we need to do, and there is nothing we can do if the game doesn't sell. Let's take it as a lesson learned."

In fact, he did not expect that the results of the new game would be so bad.

After all, the popularity of the "Resident Evil" movie is not low, and it brings a lot of discussion topics. It stands to reason that the sales on the first day will not be much worse.

According to this growth rate, it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover the cost within half a year.

Is it true that other manufacturers said that FPS is a death classification?

Or the poor conversion rate between moviegoers and gamers?

If so.

Then his plans for the second half of the year have to make some changes.

"Mr. Chen, Boss Song, the new sales data is out! Come and see!"

Just as they were thinking, a shout came from a distance, interrupting their conversation.

"What are you shouting for? It's only noon. Could it be that the sales can double in half a day?"

Lao Song raised his head and glared at the employee.

He is upset now, how can he be in the mood to see these things.

"No, Boss Song, come and see, the sales volume has really increased!"

The employee stood up from his seat and stared at the computer with wide eyes, as if he saw something unbelievable.

That didn't seem like a trivial matter, and it finally made Chen Lin Lao Song feel suspicious.

Putting down the information in his hand, he hurried to the computer, and saw the newly updated sales data at a glance.

【Resident Evil: Village】

[Total sales in 24 hours: 34,000 copies]

"34,000 copies? Why are there so many more?"

Lao Song was stunned for a moment, his expression became uncertain.

According to his estimates, the first-day sales of this game were only about 20,000 copies.

Now there are 14,000 more copies.

Even foreign countries that have not invested much resources in publicity have contributed part of the sales.

Although this result is not too eye-catching, it can barely be seen.

Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Look at the rising trend in the previous 24 hours!"

"good."

The employee responded, and quickly sat back and opened the form, splitting the data of the whole day into 24 sections to make a trend chart.

Chen Lin looked at the chart and found that the sales trend in the first 12 hours was very flat, almost in a straight line, and the sales volume per hour was not bad.

After 12 hours can be spanned.

Sales volume suddenly began to increase slowly, from a straight line to a continuous upward curve, and the increase rate became larger and larger.

Especially in the last few hours, it turned out to be several times higher than before!

"What's going on here?" Old Song was full of doubts.

"It's like this. I just read the reviews of the new game, and found that many players watched the streamers play it yesterday, and only bought it today to play by themselves."

"It's also partly because... there are a lot of edited videos about Madam Bachi on the Internet"

The employee explained with a strange expression.

After listening, Lao Song was full of question marks, while Chen Lin suddenly realized.

It seems that no matter which world the players are in, their hobbies are the same and they have a lot in common.

Hearing the news, his original disappointment completely disappeared.

He shouldn't need to worry about the sales of the new game anymore.

Just as Chen Lin expected.

The sales volume of "Resident Evil: Village" is not that kind of explosive, but has a strong stamina.

34,000 on the first day.

42,000 the next day.

49,000 on the third day.

55,000 on the fourth day.

In just one week, relying on the lower price advantage, it broke the first week sales record of "Sekiro", reaching an exaggerated score of 350,000 copies!

The rapid growth momentum stunned the manufacturers who received the news.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that Honghuang's new game is so cool?"

"This increase in daily sales is too exaggerated!"

"It seems that even players from other similar games have been attracted."

"Is it really feasible to combine FPS with doomsday theme?"

Manufacturers are very puzzled.

Click on the "Resident Evil" game review page to collect player feedback, but saw a very strange scene.

[It's really big! 】

[Help, I can't get out! 】

[Sooner or later, I will be suffocated to death in this game. 】

[What type of T-virus is so effective? I want to buy a copy for my girlfriend too, so much money! 】

[God knows how long I've been hanging from the ceiling. 】

【Come here because of the name, this is indeed a "horror" game. 】

[I would like to call the God of Hand Sanitizer the strongest! 】

This is all about what.

Isn't it an FPS game with doomsday theme?

Why do player comments have nothing to do with game content?
