Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 165 Three Star Evaluation
Slightly unexpectedly, Pokémon didn't cause much of a craze.

Of course sales are also good.

On the basis of GB's millions of users during this period, there were more than 20 sales in the first week.

Interested players didn't queue for too long when they bought it on the day of release, and quickly bought the Pokémon game they wanted.

And more are children who don't seem to be interested.

Looking at this first week's sales results, Zhu Yuxing frowned and thought in the office.

At the same time, the screen on the computer on his desk stayed in the one male game network. Because Murakami had already obtained the game of Pokémon in advance, he also posted his evaluation of Pokémon.

"Pokémon: A very special game, but it doesn't seem to be particularly fun."

"Recommended star rating: [-] stars."

"First of all, I'm a player, and secondly, I'm a game reviewer. I have my mission to give the most pertinent evaluation of all the games I review, without any utilitarian factors."

"I was very excited when I experienced the first-party games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment many times in advance, but this time I was not as happy as I imagined."

"The main elements of Pokémon are collection and challenge, which is different from those brave warriors who fought against demon kings and warriors who fought against evil in the past. This game will make you feel a relaxed atmosphere."

"In this world, you can see many strange creatures, they can all be captured, and then become their own partners, and then use these partners to fight with opponents and win, this is what I said about the special gameplay, and the previous all different."

"But what I have to say is that I actually prefer more exciting games, which in turn makes me feel a little dull."

"That's why I gave this game three stars. Three stars is my passing star, which means that the game is complete enough and the content is substantial enough, but it is difficult to attract me, but I believe that every game is different People will like it, so if you have the ability to spend, you can try this game, if not, I think you can wait and see, don’t worry too much.”

This is the general evaluation given by Murakami.

This assessment is actually quite fair.

In the first-generation Pokémon games of the previous life, there were actually many bugs in the game. In addition, the developers of the first-generation game were insufficient, the development was rushed, and the graphics were a bit poor, resulting in a low evaluation of the game in the early stage. Like Murakami, the evaluation can only be said to be passable.

However, this game made by Zhu Yuxing has done the best possible, the game is more complete as a whole, there are almost no malignant bugs, and the picture quality is much better than the first generation of Pokémon in the previous life.

But it didn't bring the expected explosion.

This made Zhu Yuxing scratch his head slightly.

It seems that some video games really need to add some elements of luck, which does not mean that you can completely explode by replicating the games of the previous life.

And some game companies holding a wait-and-see attitude, as well as manufacturers of game consoles, after seeing this result, they should do what they should do immediately.

It seems that this game should only be regarded as an attempt by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but this attempt did not achieve very good results.

Several game companies that had already started planning to also make a similar game also gave up immediately, and instead made games that were eye-catching enough according to the content of the evaluation of the one male game network.

"President, we may have done something wrong this time. If you want to blame, just blame us."

This time, the development of Pokémon is a veteran game player selected by Zhu Yuxing from the second, third and fourth and third game development teams, with more than [-] people, and then injected into these three game development teams. Fresh blood, let them continue to develop the game steadily.

However, there are more than 50 experienced game developers in the team, but the first game did not bring the expected explosive sales, and they also feel that they have a lot of responsibility.

For such a long time, Zhuyouxing has been generous to the employees, giving them enough remuneration so that they can have a good and easy life, but the sales of the games they made did not meet expectations, and they themselves felt very ashamed.

So the leader of the development team personally came to Take Yusei's office to apologize for making a bad game.

"No, this is not your reason. You have done a good job. In fact, this is already in my plan."

The team leader was slightly taken aback: "Is it in your plan, President?"

"That's right, this is just a short period of poor sales, give this game a little time, time will prove the real shining point of this game, then you are ready to continue to develop new Pokémon games, according to the rhythm I specified earlier , don't change, understand?"

Zhu Yuxing's words may not really reassure the team leader, but at least it can ease his guilt.

Zhu Yuxing urged him to go back to work. After the game production is completed, if there are no vicious bugs that need to be fixed, they will stop paying attention to game sales and continue to develop new Pokémon games according to their own instructions. Just fine.

When the team leader left, Zhu Yuxing also fell into thinking again.

Maybe Pokémon is really unaccustomed to this world.

However, this is only the first week of sales, in fact, it still does not prove anything.

I don't think Dragon Quest was very popular when it was released.

In the end, it was because of the linkage of the comics that Dragon Quest became popular.

At first, Zhuyouxing wanted to recreate the success of Dragon Quest, relying on the Pokémon animation broadcast at the same time to increase his popularity.

But it doesn't seem to work very well.

By the way, I can now ask TV Tokyo how the ratings of Pokémon are.

The ratings of TV stations can also be used as a reference to a certain extent.

Also, try to increase some investment in publicity for a month, and then look at the specific situation.

If it really doesn't work, it can generally prove that Pokémon is slightly unaccustomed to this world.

Maybe it's because I let video games develop too fast, and it's not easy for players to settle down and play this slower-paced development companion game, or there may be other reasons.

However, as long as the sales volume of this generation of games can exceed 40, the balance of payments can be reached, and Zhuyouxing will let this series continue.

If the expected sales volume is not achieved, Zhu Youxing will insist on letting the development team produce another three or four generations. Even if it really fails, you have to work harder first to see if it is due to acclimatization or other reasons.
