MTL - I Develop Battlefield To Drive Global Players Crazy-Chapter 153
It wasn't until the end that a promotional video for Super Mario Odyssey appeared that cheered up many players.
Because, finally, there is a little excitement.
And it is the first time that there is an NPC dialogue in the game.
A huge hat airship appeared on the screen.
"The sky above Princess Peach's Castle..." A line of subtitles appeared.
Then a big spiny tortoise in a suit and white top hat appeared on the screen.
In front of him is Mario, a plumber in a red hat.
The two fought fiercely on the deck of the castle like a spaceship.
............
'Ha ha! And that's it! ’
The big devil threw the white hat on his head and hit Mario.
The princess beside her stretched out her hand worriedly, watching Mario's red hat falling to her feet, the big devil let out the villain's exclusive laughter and stomped on it.
'The king is going to have a wedding with the princess! ’
‘Not reconciled? Mario! ’
‘Hahahahaha…’
What the **** is this underaged plot?
Although the picture is very cartoony, many players still wonder if they can expect a gorgeous battle performance.
But is this the end?
This is too young!
The only thing that makes players feel a little amazing is the subsequent quick editing.
One by one strange worlds with different styles are displayed on the screen, a city country with a modern urban background, a forest country full of vitality, a sea country with beaches and oceans, a desert country, and a country of ice fields...
It makes people feel that Chen Xu's art and maps are really extraordinary.
But after sighing, many people thought about the performance of the big turtle devil and the plumber.
Everyone was completely speechless.
If it's a game, it's really diarrhea-style publicity tonight, and the number is bang-on.
But really, there are only three points that make players excited.
The first point is the freshness brought by the body sense, and the second point is that Chen Xu not only announced the news of the porting of "Dark Soul" and "Monster Hunter", but also confirmed that new DLC content will be launched in the future.
This is the most perfect news they have received this afternoon.
The only downside is that they know very well that this thing is a cake drawn by Chen Xu.
Why?
All other games have promotional videos, even small third parties have them, but these two blockbuster works only have a perfunctory LOGO, what is this not a painting cake?
The third point is the price of NS. The official price is 1899 yuan. You can also choose any game from "Fitness Ring Adventure" and "NS Sports". It can be said that the price really makes many players. Surprised, it's so low.
They even doubted whether Chen Xu sold the console at a loss.
But these points are not enough to satisfy the players who are paying attention to this conference.
Especially the industry and media who have been paying attention to Nebula Games, this NS handheld mobile, are also full of confusion.
If you have to say it, it's probably a roller coaster.
Slowly looking forward from the beginning, then became a little disappointed, and finally became a little interested.
The game lineup is indeed very rich, but what is the key!
There are two somatosensory games, a play house game, and a young hero who fights the big devil to save the princess, and it seems to be a platform jumping game.
Chen Xu, are you going to target the women and children market? people.
Chapter 215 On Sale
‘I didn’t expect it at all, it feels too young, it’s not exciting at all! ’
'That's right, the only DLC that feels like a blockbuster show, Monster Hunter and Dark Souls, is still in the stage of drawing cakes. ’
‘Yeah, and what’s so fun about that play house game? ’
'But the game called "Super Mario: Odyssey" seems to be okay. ’
'Indeed, although it is also a bit younger, the art of the various scenes in the back is very beautiful. ’
'But I'm not going to buy it, this game is really unattractive. ’
'I'm going to buy one, but let's look at the quality of the monster hunter after transplantation. After all, it feels pretty good to think about the monster hunter on the handheld. ’
'I'm going to buy one for my son, I feel that this game on NS is quite suitable for children. ’
This press conference of Nebula Games has attracted a lot of attention.
It's just that compared to the curiosity and expectations of the players before, "567", their response after the press conference was not high.
Mainly because it is really a little different from what they think.
What type of games did Chen Xu make before?
Grand Theft Auto and Payday Outlaws.
The dark despair of the Dharma Ring and the Black Soul.
A hail of bullets in Battlefield and Call of Duty.
And the intense hunting of monster hunters.
Although there are also games of all ages such as Minecraft and Jelly Bean.
But most of them are all kinds of gorgeous masterpieces.
However, what is on this NS handheld.
I won’t talk about somatosensory games. In fact, this really makes many players shine, and they feel relatively fresh.
But the rest are all younger games, and all the play games are here.
Moreover, games of all ages, such as Minecraft, Jelly Beans and Nonsense Kitchen, have also landed on the NS platform.
…
However, the topic on the Internet is fermenting, and the industry and core players are discussing this matter at the same time.
NS's online and offline promotion channels have also been fully rolled out.
In a rental house, 27-year-old Xiaohong was lying on the bed, as always, watching dramas on his mobile phone.
However, at this time, the advertisement that popped up on the mobile phone screen immediately attracted her.
This is a NS advertisement from Nebula Games.
in the screen.
The same girl was lying on the bed, but what she was holding in her hand was not a mobile phone, but a red and blue NS handheld.
The girl's hands are constantly controlling the joystick, and the cartoon villain on the screen is performing various operations.
Have friendly exchanges with cute animals, pick up various branches on the ground, go fishing in rivers and seasides, and catch insects in the woods.
At the same time, the tent that was originally simple began to become beautiful and delicate as time passed quickly.
There are also more and more small animals on the island.
While the game screen changes in the handheld, the background is constantly changing.
The bed in the room and the sofa in the living room, the workplace for the company's lunch break, the high-speed rail and the plane...
It's not just the game "Animal Crossing" that is shown in front of her.
Plumber Mario with a red hat, wii sports consisting of several mini-games, and a fitness ring adventure that holds a fitness ring and performs various fitness actions.
This kind of diversified game console that combines living room games with handheld and somatosensory makes people who have never seen this kind of game feel novel and who don't know the game.
"Is this a game console? It seems to be quite interesting. It's completely different from the ones they play!"
With the end of the advertisement, the drama she was chasing had already started, but Xiaohong was still thinking about the advertisement just now.
The somatosensory gameplay, as well as the cute and cute little animals, have left a deep impression on her.
For things like games, her most direct knowledge is what colleagues in the office often discuss.
In her spare time, she has also watched some videos and so on. Violent and **** ones are not bad. Don't think that girls can't accept it.
The main look made her feel too complicated.
But the game on this ad feels completely different from those styles.
"Nebulas Games... It seems to be the game company they often talk about. It's quite famous. Would you like to buy one to play?"
Thinking of the various beautiful pictures in the promotional video, Xiaohong had an idea in her heart.
And this happens in many places.
Some people visiting the mall were attracted by NS's offline advertisements.
Some drama watchers are attracted by NS advertisements online.
Some people are very itchy and choose to place an order directly.
Some are still hesitating. Although Chen Xu has reduced a lot of costs, the price is nearly 1,900 yuan. It is not too high or too low.
…
In the Nebula game, Iwata Chong and Gabe Newell are very nervous to count various sales-related data......
Before that, they opened the pre-sale mode, but the sales were not very gratifying.
Even if you don't count the possibility of subsequent refunds, the first batch of pre-orders is only 110,000 units.
"Don't worry, during the pre-order period, we haven't fully spread the publicity. In fact, the pre-order alone has 110,000 units, which is far beyond my expectations."
In the office meeting, Chen Xu said with a smile when he looked at the two people with nervous expressions.
Although Chen Xu has confidence in NS and the games it carries, he also knows that it will take time.
The reason why NS was able to instantly explode in the previous life was mainly because of the brand blessing of Laoren, a century-old store.
Coupled with the fact that NS in his previous life was still the core player route at the beginning, the attraction is naturally greater.
After all, it not only has its own ace **** work, but also has a legacy left over from the WIIU period.
Coupled with a series of old IPs such as Mario and Zelda, this has created the legend of NS's explosion in sales.
However, compared with the core route of NS in the previous life, Chen Xu's light leisure blue ocean does not mean that he is wrong but quite correct.
Because in the previous life, after the old man completed the layout of core players, he also continued to kill light users.
A series of games that light players love, such as Motion Forest, fitness ring, and aerobic boxing.
The light users in the mid-term of NS are also increasing.
Even the ratio of male and female players reached an astonishing 1:1, each accounting for 50%.
This is an extremely exaggerated ratio, and it also proves the recognition of casual 1.5 light players for NS and the games on it.
Combined with the performance of NS in the past life, plus its own assessment of the current market.
Chen Xu is quite confident, and what should be done now has been done, and the rest is left to the market.
…
At the same time, the first batch of players who pre-ordered NS also enjoyed the benefits of pre-ordering.
That is, as the first batch of players who got the handheld that day and could experience it directly.
Although many players expressed disappointment before this, the major live broadcast sites on the day of the release.
It is still the same as the usual Nebula game releases, all choose to broadcast the content of the NS handheld.
After all, it belongs to the current hot topic, and at the previous conference, many deep players expressed disappointment.
But after all, it's just a press conference, no one knows what the handheld and the games on it are like.
