Chapter 258 You agreed to fail together, but you secretly made up the lessons
With the announcement of the features of the second week of Gu Jian Qi Xia, coupled with the already good enough game quality, the sales volume of Gu Jian Qi Xia has reached 65 in just one week.

Although there is a huge gap with the 100 million that Zhang Ke imagined, it has to be said that such a sales volume is enough to prove the success of Gu Jian Qi Xia. After all, this is just a pure stand-alone game.

And judging from the current word-of-mouth and sales volume, breaking one million sales in the first month is not an unattainable number. There is no doubt that Zhang Ke is successful, at least for Gu Jian Qi Xia, making money is definitely an absolute.

Zhang Ke breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the sales figures, while some domestic game producers expressed envy and some shook their heads.

With an investment of 4000 million, even if the sales volume exceeds one million, including the cost of time and publicity, it will not actually make much money. But if it is used to make mobile games, the cost of 4000 million can do a lot As long as one of them is successful, it will even earn more than your Gu Jian Qi Xia project.

Regarding the follow-up of Gu Jian Qi Xia, after Chu He learned about the specific situation and chatted with Zhang Ke, he didn't pay too much attention.

Whether it is making money or losing money, these are not in the scope of Chuhe's consideration. Since he decided to approve Zhang Ke's project, Chuhe has already thought about whether he will lose money.

It was not the first time that I arrived in the neon Tokyo by plane, but this time Chuhe was in a different mood than before, and was very interested.

The main purpose of this visit is that Chuhe was invited by Hideo Kojima and Sony.

As for the reason, Chuhe can also understand a little bit, it is probably nothing more than Sony's desire to make Red Dead Redemption exclusive under its banner.

In the Kojima studio in Tokyo, besides Hideo Kojima and Chuhe, there is another person, Uncle Hirai who is the president and CEO of Sony.

Speaking of Uncle Hirai’s words, it is actually very legendary. From the initial acceptance of the order in the face of danger, to the single-handedly bringing the Sony Empire back from the brink of collapse to the journey, changing Sony’s previous hardware strategy and returning to the software strategy. And pay attention to the share of games on the console, invest a lot of olive branches, increase the exclusiveness of console platform games, and win over third parties.

"Red Dead Redemption will not be exclusive to a certain platform." Chu He shook his head, not even waiting for Uncle Hirai to finish talking about the excellent conditions that Chu He can offer.

With the size of Tianhe Network today, money is only a small problem. Others look at the games of Tianhe Network and think that they want to make more money, but for Chuhe, making money is actually not as eager as before. Of course, what should be earned must be earned, otherwise, if every game loses money, Tianhe Network will definitely not be able to support it one day.

But today's Tianhe Network will at least not make any compromises on the game in order to make money, even if it is not changing the content of the game, it is only the exclusive platform.

Seeing Chu He's rather determined attitude, Uncle Hirai smiled, and then revealed the real purpose of the trip: "Then at the E3 exhibition not long ago, can Red Dead Redemption stand for Sony?"

The game platform is not exclusive, this is the main purpose of Uncle Hirai.

In fact, the more masterpieces, the lower the possibility of monopolization, mainly because of two reasons. After all, although Sony still dominates the console platform, Microsoft is also chasing after it. If we really want to talk about the number of users, Microsoft It's really not that weak, after all, they are all users who spend money.

Unless it is a game invested by itself, it is difficult to make it the exclusive platform of its own platform, and even at that price, Sony cannot accept it.

In this case, it is better to take a step back and reach a cooperation agreement with the other party, such as letting Red Dead Redemption stand on Sony at the game exhibition or Sony's press conference.

Chuhe just smiled and quoted a few words aside, without giving a positive answer.

Seeing that Chuhe didn't mean to talk about it any more, Uncle Hirai didn't continue talking about it either.

"It's just that we have a good cooperation with Sony. Let me introduce them to you." Hideo Kojima visited the studio, and Uncle Hirai left about half an hour later. In the office, Hideo Kojima waved helplessly at Chuhe and said. .

"I have guessed before I came here, but what I'm really interested in is your new game Death Stranding. I'm curious what kind of game it is." Chu He said with a smile.

He really didn't lie about this, he was really curious about Hideo Kojima's death stranding.

After all, after Hideo Kojima fell out with Konami, not only was he unable to participate in the work of the Metal Gear series, but even the Silent Hill PT that was already on the shelves was forcibly taken off the shelves by Konami.

It is no exaggeration to say that Death Stranding is not only expected by Sony to become a host production, but also an opportunity for Hideo Kojima to prove himself again.

"Of course there is no problem. If you are willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement, you can try it in advance, and maybe you can give me some advice." Hideo Kojima said to Chuhe.

? ? ? ? ? ?
Try it out early?

"Is it really possible to try the game?" Chu He looked at Hideo Kojima with wide eyes.

Everyone draws big cakes on Twitter all day long. You chase a star today, eat a meal tomorrow, and travel the day after tomorrow. It is the same as your own big cake drawing routine, and now you tell me that your game is ready for trial play up?

This feeling is like knowing that everyone said you failed the exam, but you secretly make up classes on weekends.

"Of course, although it will take a long time to polish, the production has basically been completed. In comparison, I am also looking forward to your Red Dead Redemption. If I have time, I would like to see it." Kojima Hideo also said with a smile.

To be honest, Hideo Kojima is really curious about the game Red Dead Redemption. After all, the huge development budget and development team are not secret news in the industry.

However, these words stopped in Chuhe's ears, which made people feel a little stuffy.

available?

No, you are not available at all.

Of course, the core internal development will not be open to Chuhe to visit. In fact, Chuhe will not be so stupid to ask.

In the trial hall, Chuhe adjusted a comfortable posture on the sofa, holding the handle in his hand and preparing to experience the game according to Hideo Kojima's guidance.

Well, there is one thing that Chuhe doesn’t understand. Why is the Sony machine used in the trial room, but the handle is a Microsoft Elite converted by a third-party external connection.

Although Microsoft's controller is indeed better, but the game projects are all invested by Sony, and they are still exclusive to Sony, so it is good to use the enemy controller.

By the way, Uncle Hirai probably doesn't know about this matter.

When reading the interface, Chuhe waited while thinking in his heart.
