Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

"Comera?"

Shen Miaomiao leaned on the boss chair and picked up the fax on the table, feeling a little surprised.

Comella she knew.

After all, it is also a world-class comprehensive digital entertainment manufacturer that traverses the east and the west.

Of course she had heard about it.

In the early years, Ke Meila started her business by relying on pachinko, and accumulated primitive capital with small steel balls.

Afterwards, it blossomed in full bloom. Starting from a small pinball game machine, it gradually started its grand plan to conquer the north and south in the game circle.

Today, Comera has become one of the largest comprehensive digital entertainment manufacturers in Neon, and its main game and motion cabin business spans the world.

It can almost be called the existence second only to the "Yunwei-Vivendi" United Digital Entertainment Group.

Today, Ke Meila plays games with his left hand and the somatosensory cabin with his right, and sits down in pachinko with majesty.

In Asia, it can be said to be above ten thousand people.

Of course.

Shen Miaomiao only learned about this information after she joined the game industry and became the president of Golden Wind Games.

It stands to reason that a small company like Golden Wind is not considered a first-class game company in Huaguo.

Shen Miaomiao didn't understand how Ke Meila would find them.

"It's Director Gu,"

Chu Qingzhou who came to report said:

"Komeira wants Director Gu by name and name."

Shen Miaomiao: ...

There was silence for three seconds.

Shen Miaomiao gritted her silver teeth, and creaked: "Ha Ma bai - the little devil will not die, I will go to Lao Shen! This time I have to say anything..."

Chu Qingzhou opened his mouth: "They came to seek cooperation..."

"... Whatever you say, let them see what it means to be value for money!!!"

Shen Miaomiao who stood halfway sat down again.

"Sister Chuchu, can you finish the conversation at once in the future?"

Shen Miaomiao took a sip of water and finally swallowed the breath.

Chu Qingzhou shrugged: "You didn't wait for me to finish."

"It's true..."

Shen Miaomiao scratched her head, then put down the fax, too lazy to read:

"So what kind of cooperation are they looking for?"

Chu Qingzhou is also used to Miao Miao's salty fish style of being lazy if she can be lazy, so she opened her notebook and reported:

"Two and a half months later, at the beginning of November, the Neon Tokyo Game Festival, one of the four major international game exhibitions, will open,"

"At that time, 507 game manufacturers from all over the world will participate in this exhibition,"

"Among them, local neon manufacturers occupy half of the seats,"

"And among these neon manufacturers, the big brother, Comera, will naturally not be absent,"

"Affected by the expansion of the somatosensory cabin market in recent years, and the fact that Comela is currently the world's largest manufacturer of somatosensory cabins,"

"In this year's video game festival, Comera will further increase the proportion of game promotion in the somatosensory cabin to 80%,"

"They have already made preparations for the three categories of shooting, racing, and sports,"

"But apart from that, they are also planning to try more in other game categories,"

"Like—"

...

"Horror game."

two weeks ago.

The meeting room on the top floor of the Neon Tojin Comera Co., Ltd. building.

Toruya Moritani, who is the executive director of Comera's game business, said:

"The somatosensory cabin market is getting bigger and bigger today,"

"As for our Komera, as an international first-tier manufacturer that combines games and somatosensory cabins, this time the Dongjin Video Game Festival will naturally come out on top,"

"Today, the three major game categories have been developed in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Director Uesugi of the Game Division,"

"In addition to the three major categories, I think we can also make corresponding performances,"

"Strive to make our somatosensory cabin game category more comprehensive,"

"After all, this time, the focus of our exhibition is the somatosensory cabin game,"

"So, I suggest that we can look back properly and try horror games in the somatosensory cabin again."

After listening to Executive Moritani's words, the executives of Komera looked at each other and nodded.

"I think this proposal from Director Moritani can be discussed..."

"Indeed, the degree of fit between the horror game and the somatosensory cabin should be very high..."

"And this time we will focus on the somatosensory cabin games, the category of horror games, and we can indeed consider it..."

"It is indeed a suitable time..."

"It can be regarded as enriching our game categories..."

"But the problem is that in the somatosensory cabin, the word-of-mouth and player interest of horror games are not very satisfactory. This is a difficult objective factor..."

"And we don't have any good horror game themes to use right now..."

Everyone frowned as the executives raised difficult objective questions one by one.

Today's somatosensory cabin horror game market is not friendly, this is a certainty.

At this point, they have suffered a lot.

Since the mass production of the motion sensor pod, Comera has released a total of five motion sensor pod horror games.

Two profit, one break even, and two loss.

But considering the investment of these five games, one is higher than the other.

So on the whole, they are still losing money in the field of somatosensory cabin horror games.

What profit?

This is the core of the core, and it is also the most concerned issue of Ke Meila's president, Joe Kamimasa!

Joetsu Keisho is fifty-eight years old. Although his body is thin, he has a very tough style of acting and puts his interests first.

The way he runs Comera is very simple——

Profitable projects are given support, money and people are needed, but the project is not allowed to be terminated casually, even if it is rotten, its last vitality must be squeezed.

As for those projects that are not profitable and continue to burn costs.

A big word - cut!

Don't talk about artistry, am I doing business for art?

It's good to be well received and well received.

But if you have to choose one of these two.

Then Joetsu Jingzheng will definitely choose the latter without hesitation and put profit first.

And now!

Although the proposal of managing director Toruya Moriya is very good.

But before he can guarantee profitability, he still has great doubts about this project.

"So, do you have any plans for the horror game Moritani?"

With the president's voice sounding!

for a while!

All eyes were on Moriya.

However!

Moriya was already prepared!

I saw him pull out a stack of thin documents from his meeting book and hand them to Joe Kagemasa:

"Yes, please take a look."

After receiving the document from Moritani, Keiko Joe was looking at it intently.

This turned out to be a game plan.

It's just that when you open the business plan, you can find that it is not complete, and even has only one basic setting and structure.

I don't know whether the relevant content in it was not written well or lost.

After closing the plan, Kamigoe murmured:

"Serendo...Hello?"

"Silent Hell," Moriya nodded: "Silent Hill."

"This is a plan ten years ago,"

Moriya explained:

"Ten years ago, the TeamSilent team host submitted this business case,"

"But because we were focusing on another game at the time, we cut the budget for that game," he said.

"And the cost scale of this game is very large in the early stage,"

"So, with the unanimous consent of the board of directors, the project was put on hold indefinitely,"

"The main creative team, TeamSilent, also disbanded soon after,"

"It took me a lot of effort to find this project proposal, but unfortunately, only the first few pages are left."

After listening to Moritani's introduction, Joetsu Keisho thought about it.

It's been too long.

It seems that there was such a project back then, but it didn't make any waves after all, so it was naturally cut off.

But now, Moritani has found the plan again.

"So," Shang Yue asked, "in your opinion, this project is very promising?"

"It was hard to say before,"

Moriya replied:

"But now, I think it's time."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Shang Yue raised his eyebrows with interest:

"The reason?"

"This," Moritani pointed to the key words of the game on the first page of the project proposal: "adventure, horror, psychological suggestive fear."

good!

In this world!

Silent Hill, which should have gained fame and became a milestone in horror games, has never been officially released!

By accident, it became a stepping stone for a certain game project of Komera!

And the reason why Moriya turned it out today is because of the following words—psychological suggestive fear!

As the managing director of the game business!

Toru Moriya is of course well aware of some changes in the game industry!

Among them is the "psychological fear" created by the golden wind!

This idea is similar to the idea of ​​the Silent Hill abolition case, which coincides with it!

"And, through the test of the market, Golden Wind has also proved that this kind of game format can advance bravely. When the main body of the somatosensory cabin horror game is in a bad situation, it is still popular and popular,"

Speaking of which, Moritani opened his notebook:

"According to historical data survey, the multiplayer online horror game "Phobia" brought by Wind of Gold"

"The cost was recovered in a single week, and the net profit in a single month was more than twice the cost."

Moritani has been working in Comera for so many years, and he knows that it is useless to say anything. Only when the word "making money" is placed in front of Joetsu Kei, the president will pay attention to it.

Horror game, Golden Wind made it!

Psychological horror, try the golden wind!

Can make money!

as expected!

After hearing the exaggerated data that Moritani said, his eyes lit up and he took a deep breath!

"Hiss—is that the company that defeated all its opponents at a cost of 50 million and took away the golden crown and scepter at the Asian Games?"

"Yes,"

Moriya nodded:

"Since someone has already tried it and has a successful experience, then I think we can follow up," he said.

"Combine the Golden Wind, and at the same time invite their soul to serve as the special chief game director of this project—"

...

"Cooperate with us? And call me by name and ask me to be the special director?"

In Little Nezha's office, Gu Sheng smacked his lips.

Camera's invitation.

Tsk.

Gu Sheng was a little guilty in his heart.

He was a little surprised.

After all, with the current size of Golden Wind and his popularity in the game circle, he should not be worthy of being favored by a world-class comprehensive super game manufacturer like Komera.

but.

Thinking that they once took away the golden crown from a group of powerful Asian enemies under the attention of the whole Asia.

It seems that it is not impossible to be able to enter Comeira's sight.

only……

Gu Sheng was a little bit against Ke Meila's company.

It's not because it has done anything to hurt him, hurt the golden wind.

It's simply because Ke Meila's name is too similar to the Fvking manufacturer with the same surname "Ke" in his previous life!

Gu Sheng didn't have much affection for that game company.

However, such a biased judgment is unfair. It seems that people look at this life with the colored glasses of the previous life.

Gu Sheng grinned and his attitude was a bit ambiguous.

"What are they drawing?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"Cooperate to develop games," Chu Qingzhou said: "At the Neon Dongjin Video Game Festival in early November, Ke Meila is going to restart an IP called Silent Hill, and put it in the somatosensory cabin..."

"Hold on,"

Before Chu Qingzhou finished speaking, Gu Sheng raised his hand to interrupt her:

"I'm sorry, Secretary Chu, what IP did you just say...?"

"silent Hill,"

Chu Qingzhou repeated again:

"According to Comera, this is a case that they had once abandoned, but looking at it now, it will be somewhat psychologically terrifying,"

"What? Have you heard of it?"

hiss! ! !

After hearing what Chu Qingzhou said, Gu Sheng couldn't help but gasp in his heart!

I have not only heard about it!

This thing is in my original world, but it keeps pace with Resident Evil. It definitely occupies a place in horror games, and it can even be called a milestone game!

Before, Gu Sheng murmured that there is a biohazard in this world, but there is no Silent Hill.

Now it seems!

This world also has Silent Hill!

In other words, there should have been Silent Hill!

However, due to various reasons this project was shelved!

This is really... a mistake.

Gu Sheng thought secretly.

Originally, as long as he was slightly biased, the name of the creator of psychological fear should not be his own, but Comera's.

But Komera cut off the milestone works that should have been established.

This allowed him, a time traveler, to win the title of the pioneer of psychological horror by virtue of "Phobia".

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing secretly.

In fact, strictly speaking, the work of fear of ghosts does not give full play to psychological fear.

The reason why the players feel scary is that Gu Sheng added some flavor of Silent Hill to it, and secondly, it is because the level of the game industry in this world is higher than that of his previous life, and the innate sense of substitution in the somatosensory cabin is too strong .

Therefore, it has its success.

And now!

Comera is here! Silent Hill rises from the coffin!

A world-class game company across the water came to their door, wanted to restart the IP of Silent Hill, invited Golden Wind to co-develop it, and appointed him as the special chief game director!

You want me to be Silent Hill?

Then the players enjoy (zao) great (lao) blessing (zui) slightly!

Gu Sheng felt that it was time for the players to understand what real psychological horror is!

but!

After all, this IP belongs to Ke Meila's family, not Golden Wind's. In addition, Gu Sheng's first impression of Ke Meila is slightly biased.

Therefore, before the cooperation, it is necessary to discuss the relevant cooperation rules.

You can play games.

But how to do it, you have to think carefully.
