Chapter 360 Platinum Studio get
Just like Chuhe and Tianhe Network, there are not a few people who are aiming at Platinum Studio. After all, although Platinum Studio seems to be a cursed studio in terms of its ups and downs, you cannot deny that it is indeed a company with strong Powerful studio.

Even among the original Three King Kong, Mikami Shinji had already left Platinum Studio to start his own business, and even recently they have reached the brink of bankruptcy, and even Sanhe Tatsu, who is also one of the founders, has also left Platinum Studio.

But it is undeniable that the strength of Platinum Gold Studio is absolutely top-notch, especially in the field of action. Even though Bayonetta has almost experienced two sales failures, in terms of the quality of the work, no matter in terms of action elements, Or the style of play, are very good.

Otherwise, it would not have received two high-scoring evaluations from IGN in a row, and it was even hailed as the pinnacle of action that has not been surpassed so far.

Well, although it is really good enough, compared with the dismal sales of Bayonetta, this title is still not convinced by many people.

In particular, the combined sales of the two generations of the entire platform are not as good as the current sales of the prototype, which is really embarrassing.

Such a studio with sufficient strength obviously has no shortage of buyers who are eyeing them, but if the former Platinum Studio has to say, it probably has an artist's bottom line.

It's not that the IP they like doesn't accept OEM, and they don't choose to accept projects that can't give creative freedom.

But now Platinum Studio, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, has fallen into a difficult decision, whether to stand up to die or live on its knees. At the same time, Platinum Studio has once again proved that there is not enough capital, even if the game producer The world's top gods like Hideki Kamiya and the others don't have the ability to defy the sky.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, which is probably Platinum Studio.

…………

In early May, the E5 Electronic Entertainment Exhibition continued to be held at the International Exhibition Center in Los Angeles as usual. Before E3, Charles came to Tianhe Network to talk about the new game of Tianhe Network, but Chuhe did not immediately agree.

Although he is willing to cooperate with EA, it is clear that Chuhe does not want his game to be sold like Chinese cabbage, even though the price offered by EA is already attractive enough.

But Tianhe Network is not without other options. With the rise of the game industry, many third-party manufacturers who originally produced games for game publishers have also embarked on the road of publishing games, although most of them are Publish your own games.

After all, if it can be done, it is still in the best interests of the left-handed to right-handed behavior. Of course, not all game manufacturers are like this, there are still third-party manufacturers who concentrate on making games, such as Tianhe Network.

At E3, just like the previous ones, the participating Tianhe Network officially announced the next actions at the press conference.

Including League of Legends projects, as well as Black Light Studios' Divinity, as well as the Origins mod and the planned The Last of Us.

Of course, for the project of The Last Survivor, apart from the name of the game, the announced news is only tentative original background paintings, and even these original paintings may not be used in the end. Anyway, since the original Red Dead Redemption project began to draw cakes, Tianhe Network has become more proficient in this business.

On the other hand, the League of Legends project, even though it revealed a lot of information, did not raise much expectations from the players. On the contrary, the last survivor who only revealed a name was the most anticipated by the players.

In addition, whether it is the game screen or the gameplay style developed by Heiguang, it reveals that the God Realm of American RPG is also very much expected by players. In addition, there are only a dozen projects, and the investment cost is even 100 million US dollars. The source modules that have not been spent yet have been provided with trial play at the E3 exhibition, and they have won unanimous praise from players, which is beyond everyone's expectations.

And when E3 was going on, just like what I said when I met Charles in Jinling, Chuhe had already come to Neon.

……

It has been 10 years since Platinum Studio was established. Generally speaking, for normal studios, this should be a very exciting day, but Platinum Studio is probably an exception. First of all, the original main creator left two, At the same time, the staff has changed from more than 200 people at the beginning to more than 100 people now, and it is almost bankrupt.

"Excellent elements. In today's market environment, Platinum Gold Studio is as rare as a panda." Chu He, who visited Platinum Gold Studio, said to Kamiya Hideki next to him.

In the whole world, you can hardly find such a studio with pure ACT bloodlines, as if they were born for this type of game, but although the sales of their games are quite miserable, And until today they do not have a game of their own copyright.

"That's exactly the case, our life is not easy now." Hideki Kamiya said with a wry smile.

"If you want to make a successful game that suits you, money and freedom are essential." Chu He said meaningfully.

We are all gamers and adults, so there are not so many twists and turns, and the two parties have already met in secret beforehand, so it's not interesting to play charades at this time.

"We refuse a wholly-owned acquisition, and the studio is in an independent state. At the same time, we have the right to refuse projects we don't like." Hideki Kamiya tried to make a very excessive request.

This is a condition that was not mentioned during the previous negotiations. Basically, it found a real angel investment for Platinum Games, which can be said to be quite excessive.

"More than 60% of the share, the related finance needs to be arranged by Tianhe Network, and Platinum Studio needs to produce an action game, of course, all the development costs are borne by Tianhe Network." Chu He thought for a while and said to Kamiya Hideki .

"It won't be a project of less than 2000 million US dollars." Chu He thought for a while and continued to talk to Hideki Kamiya.

There wasn't much resistance, almost after hearing Tianhe Network's offer, everyone in Platinum Studio had already decisively decided to find a big thick leg to hug.

What a joke, finally someone can agree to Platinum Studio's conditions to take over the offer, and the price is so fair, is it mentally retarded not to agree?
You must know that in order for Platinum Games not to go bankrupt, Kamiya Hideki and the others all want to make krypton gold mobile games to collect money. After all, the market for neon krypton gold mobile games is simply too big.

The purchase price of 800 million US dollars, compared with Platinum Studio's reputation in the industry, this price can be said to be quite low.

Of course, the main reason is that it is not a wholly-owned acquisition, and Platinum Games does not have a single game of its own.

It can be said that it is really sad. I have been married and divorced many times, and then I did not get a single custody of the cub I gave birth to.

"Is there any new project in the studio?" Chuhe asked while looking at Hideki Kamiya.

"We are going to accept SE's OEM. Of course, the project is our own choice, and there is one project that we are more interested in." Kamiya Hideki said to Chuhe with a little excitement.

Although Platinum Studio is no longer our own, but at least we have retained a small share, and it is still an independent studio. Can you not be excited?
　If there is no Nier, then Platinum Games is probably really finished. Of course, Nier's game is ashamed to say.

　　I just came here purely for the ass, although I got through it, but I didn't pay much attention to the game plot, music, and level design. What I paid most attention to was the ass, ass, ass.ashamed ashamed
　　In the end, SE's food became more and more ugly. From the FF series to the ancient tomb series to Neil, SE almost reached out to grab players' wallets.
