Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

"Horror theme?"

Inside Honghuang Studio.

Chen Lin looked strange and looked at the message sent by Penguin.

this morning.

They also talked about this in a meeting.

In the end, Penguin couldn’t choose any game to be exclusive, but it chose a subject like this. It’s really...

"interesting."

Old Li beside him laughed out loud: "Is their market research new?"

Even Lao Song, who has always been calm, smiled: "This is indeed something I didn't expect. I originally wanted to think about how to deal with it, but now it seems that I don't need it for the time being."

"Where are the other companies? Any news?" Chen Lin asked.

"have."

Lao Song nodded: "In addition to the domestic Penguin and Juqian, Sony, Nintendo, Hardware, EA, EP, UB, Komei, and Steam have all released similar news, and they are already paving the way. As for how specific it is, , don’t know yet.”

"So many?" Lao Li asked in surprise.

He thought there were only three or four like this at most.

I didn't expect so many to pop up at once.

"Not surprisingly."

Chen Lin spoke slowly: "It's just like the e-commerce companies in the past. At the beginning, a hundred schools of thought contended, but in the end they were slowly absorbed until there were only a few left. This is an inevitable trend."

The market is just that big.

If you want to survive, the other opponent will die.

Unless they use money to create a gap just like Ju Hard did when it opened up the console market.

But not everyone has such courage and strength.

"We have to be careful. Now there are a lot of trolls saying that our equipment is too expensive, and Penguin's promotion slogan is to put an end to high premiums. Obviously, they want to start a price war with us." Lao Song said seriously.

"You say we're expensive? You're just saying that. If they have the ability, they can make equipment with 70% realism!" Lao Li was furious.

Although he doesn't go to the R\u0026D department very often, he knows that the approximate cost of a virtual device is definitely not only 5,000.

Penguin himself lowered the price and competed viciously, and also wanted to drag them into the water. It was really a good calculation.

It is indeed the most common method used by old capital.

"Don't worry about them." Chen Lin interjected, "It's not us who are losing money anyway. I want to see how much money they are willing to spend."

They are so far ahead that they will not be affected by this method.

In today's prehistoric times, we just need to stabilize our position and cope with the coming industry impact.

…

Penguin Group.

gaming department.

Compared with the low-key development and inaction of the prehistoric era, Penguin's ambitions are obviously much greater.

Just one day.

There is overwhelming advertising everywhere.

Even overseas has invested a lot of money.

"Give me all the resources and put the promotion in every corner before the end of the month!"

"This is a big opportunity for us to develop overseas markets, and we must not be careless!"

Shouts echoed throughout the department.

Anyone who has an understanding of the Internet industry will know that Penguin’s pain point is that its overseas influence is too weak.

Penguin, which has prospered in China, will always get frustrated every time it wants to expand overseas markets, or it will fail due to acclimatization.

This is also the reason why they have been hovering at the bottom of the top 500.

Now that I see Honghuang's great success in overseas markets, I am naturally jealous and want to follow the same example and take this opportunity to break the curse in one fell swoop!

"Director, there is a person who calls himself Representative Suoni and wants to see you."

At this time, a front desk employee hurriedly ran in from a distance.

"Soni?"

The director's eyes narrowed, and then he said with a sudden look on his face: "Okay, take him to the lounge, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, after explaining a few more things, he turned around and left in a hurry.

That afternoon.

Soni officially issued a statement.

We will cooperate with Penguin to become the virtual client agent of Neon Country, and share technology to jointly develop higher fidelity equipment.

As soon as this news came out.

The whole network was in an uproar again.

You must know that Sony was once an existence that could keep pace with Nintendo on the console.

And in some aspects, it is not inferior to Nintendo at all.

For example, regarding the influence of Neon and Bangzi in developed game countries, Nintendo and Sony have been competing for so long, but they have not been able to gain much benefit.

If he helps.

The promotion of Penguin Virtual Equipment in these two places can be said to be smooth and far ahead of other companies.

"It seems that Penguin is determined to win the virtual terminal."

"After all, this is a good opportunity to explore overseas markets."

"Soni is not simple either. He probably wants to use this method to speed up technological breakthroughs and return to the ranks of the three imperial families."

"It's time to place your bet. Guess which three of the last three royal families will be."

"I beat Honghuang, 1 yuan!"

"It's so funny, why don't you just do it?"

The manufacturers are fighting fiercely and the players are talking about it.

The virtual topic that had calmed down once again became a hot search topic, setting off a wave of discussion.

And in this lively scene.

The release date of the Penguin virtual device has finally arrived.

Many players who had been waiting for a long time immediately bought the equipment, a heavy helmet with a penguin logo.

"Wow, it's so big!"

"It's much bigger than the equipment in the prehistoric era."

Inside a university campus.

Several roommates gathered in a circle and looked a little surprised at the Penguin virtual helmet they just bought.

Because I am used to seeing ancient equipment.

So when you look at the Penguin equipment, you can see the difference at a glance. It is indeed bigger. Obviously there is still a certain technical gap.

"Forget it, let's give it a try. After all, it only cost 5,000 yuan."

5,000 yuan.

The price difference is twice as high.

What kind of bike do you want?

Especially students like them who don't have much spare money can save whatever they can.

Finished.

He connected the Internet cable to the power supply and lay down on his bed.

Other roommates who are still considering buying it are connected to the computer and watching the feedback on the screen.

I plan to see the effect first before deciding whether to buy it or not.

"Here it is! Logged in!"

Suddenly, the screen lights up.

In the originally dark screen, a virtual image of a little penguin appeared, looking around curiously.

【Wegeam】

A huge platform logo shines on the page, and underneath are the 150 new games mentioned before.

There is also a horror-themed exclusive masterpiece on the front page, "Death Shock". A bloody palm is lying on the window, which looks a bit infiltrative.

"How about three shots? How does it feel?"

The roommates hurriedly spoke out and asked through the built-in voice.

"This...how should I put it? It's a bit weird."

The young man known as San Pao fluttered his little penguin image and felt it carefully.

Then he said: "There is a feeling of being half asleep and half awake. It is not very real and it is difficult to concentrate."

"Can't concentrate?"

"It seems that the degree of simulation is too low."

"I would say you should buy the Honghuang one."

"Try the game first. If it's just like this, it's still acceptable. At worst, I'll replace it with a new one at half the price when a new device comes out."

Sanpao didn't answer, so he gritted his teeth and spent 150 to buy "Death Shock" and opened it directly.

The next second.

He appeared in an abandoned sanatorium.

The personal image has also become a character in the game, a thin patient lying on the hospital bed.

The surroundings were filled with mist, and it was difficult to see things in the distance, but a soft chewing sound could be heard, which was very permeating.

Sanpao got up from the bed, leaning on the bottle stand, and walked nervously towards the door, with the sound of wind whistling in his ears from time to time.

This real performance made several people's eyes light up.

Seems ok?

However.

As soon as this thought crossed their minds, something unexpected happened.

San Pao opened the door to the ward, and a terrifying human face with only half of it left suddenly came up to him, his face wide open.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Screams echoed inside and outside the game.

San Pao was so frightened that his face turned pale, and even the picture fed back on the computer became blurry, as if he had been greatly shocked.

Suddenly.

Sanpao, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

He sat up from the bed and gasped violently, with a look of confusion and shock on his face, as well as some residual fear.

"Am I...forcibly disconnected?"

"His! My head hurts!"

As he said this, he took a deep breath and sat on the bed, covering his head.

"Are you okay?"

Several roommates hurriedly gathered around.

"fine."

Sanpao raised his hand: "It felt like I had a very real nightmare, and then I woke up suddenly, and my head couldn't recover for a while."

The degree of realism in a deep sleep dream is about 5-10%.

After a person wakes up, a large part of it will be forgotten.

10%-20%, it starts to tend to be half-dreaming and half-awake, wandering between dreams and reality. The subjective consciousness cannot distinguish between true and false, but you can still remember clearly after waking up.

Obviously, 20% realism is not enough to fully realize the "dream", showing an unstable state that can wake up at any time.

Sanpao was startled just now, and he woke up from his sleep just like being awakened from a nightmare.

After my head calmed down.

A strong feeling of exhaustion also followed, as if someone had woken me up just as I fell asleep, with bloodshot eyes.

"Damn, if this were worn by someone who gets very angry when they wake up, wouldn't they have to curse them every time they go offline?"

"20% realism is still a little too low."

"After such a comparison, I suddenly feel that the prehistoric virtual world is so awesome, it can already replace ordinary sleep."

"Then do you still buy Penguin Virtual?"

"Buy it! Let's wait until the degree of realism becomes higher."

They don't want to get angry every time they log off, and it seems that 20% of the realism is half asleep at best, which is not stable at all.

At least it has to be above 30%.

The few people who felt that they had been cheated immediately threw the equipment aside with curses.

at the same time.

Other players who purchased Penguin Virtual also encountered similar situations.

Especially those players who have played horror games are almost always scared to the point of being forced to wake up and feel strong physical discomfort.

In an instant, news, comments, and curses about Penguin Virtual emerged crazily, and the entire gaming circle exploded.

"What the hell? Just forced me to log off?"

"20% realism is too low and not stable at all!"

"When I log off, I feel extremely uncomfortable and my head is buzzing."

"Simpler games are fine, but once they involve more complex ones with bigger emotions, you'll wake up instantly."

“Sure enough, it’s cheap but not good!”

"Don't buy it! Whoever buys it will be stupid!"

There is no harm without contrast.

If.

Penguin was the first company to launch virtual appliances.

Don't say 20%.

I'm afraid there are a lot of people willing to try 15%.

But now Zhuyu is in front.

After playing and watching the prehistoric virtual equipment, when I tried Penguin's equipment, it was almost impossible to compare with it except for the price.

He really did it without paying a premium.

But it makes me feel lonely!

For a while.

Many players who were still hesitating finally realized how good Honghuang was and placed orders to buy Honghuang Virtual, which in turn gave Chen Lin and others a boost in sales.

Without any choice.

Penguin could only use urgent public relations to explain that this was the first generation product.

They are working hard to research a new generation of equipment with higher fidelity, and will join the half-price replacement event.

This calmed the players' anger slightly.

With this lesson learned.

Manufacturers who originally wanted to release equipment by the end of the year have changed their plans and postponed the launch to next year, preparing to first increase the level of realism to more than 30%.

And just then.

Another big news suddenly broke.

The international game event, E3 Game Show, will join the virtual game exhibition project next year, inviting major game manufacturers around the world to participate.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were attracted and fell into a commotion.

"Is E3 finally coming?"

Chen Lin looked at the news spreading on the Internet and was slightly surprised.

As the largest game exhibition in the world, E3 is equivalent to the Olympics of the game industry, with countless well-known manufacturers participating every year.

It was a bit beyond his expectation that such a grand event would join the virtual game exhibition so quickly.

When the time comes, those manufacturers that develop their own equipment will definitely seize this opportunity to participate in the exhibition and promote their games.

That is to say.

This E3 exhibition.

This is the final battlefield on the virtual side!
