Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 421 Show off your muscles with friends and businessmen; "The King of Fighters" is released for the first time
"The King of Fighters" held a small press conference.

There is no high-profile extravagant publicity, just an invitation letter sent to many game manufacturers, inviting them to experience it together.

The location is set in a building of [Thunder Group], where hundreds of new arcade machines are placed.

These are all goods taken from the guild and will be delivered to game halls across the country in the next few days.

……

【Thunder Life Park】Entrance, parking area.

"Mr. Chen, do you know why [Storm] held a press conference?"

A fat middle-aged man in a suit asked in a low voice.

This chubby middle-aged man doesn't look good, but his status in the game circle is not low.

He is one of the four major manufacturers in the game circle, the partner of [Blazing Game Company], Liu Hongwei, and his name in the world: Viagra!
"do not know."

Chen Guohua shook his head: "But I guess, it should have something to do with [Thunder Game Company]. Otherwise, Xia Yu wouldn't dare to be so high-profile."

"That's for sure."

Liu Hongwei curled his lips: "Holding a press conference for all colleagues is to provoke the entire industry. Unless the game is really so good that it explodes, it will be a joke in the end... Speaking of it, I am quite curious. This game is said to cost nearly [-] million yuan. What does the game look like?"

at this time--

Bai Wenshu stopped beside her in a pure white sports car.

Liu Hongwei also asked her if she knew about it.

Bai Wenshu thought for a while: "I heard it's an arcade game, the first 32-bit arcade game, but I don't know more about it. I don't really care about it."

"You really don't have to care."

Liu Hongwei chuckled, with a bit of mockery in his eyes.

They are the four major manufacturers in the game industry, but the relationship between them has not been very good, and business competition is very common.

These two years——

With the popularity of [Thunder Game Hall], arcade games have replaced the dominance of home consoles in one fell swoop, becoming the most terrifying game platform for making money.

And [Blazing Game Company] made a lot of money on the arcade platform, [Koling] and [Zhaoyang] also produced several top-selling masterpieces to consolidate their status in the arena.

Only [Baiyun Game Company]...

The several "masterpieces" of arcade machines directed by Bai Wenshu all hit the street without exception, and the best-selling one only stayed in the top ten best-selling list for half a month.

For ordinary game companies, even if it is only half a month, it is a very terrifying profit.

But [Baiyun Game] is a top manufacturer, and it turned out that it was not even as profitable as a few top second-rate manufacturers in the arcade market, which is really embarrassing.

Fortunately, their games sold well in the console market, which allowed them to maintain their status as "one of the top four".

but--

But in terms of revenue capability, [Baiyun Game] is the worst among the four, there is no doubt about it.

Liu Hongwei is quite a villain, with a smile on his face like a Maitreya Buddha, but he is gloating behind his back.

……

More than a dozen cars arrived, and these bosses greeted several big shots one after another.

"It's almost here, let's go in."

Chen Guohua glanced at his watch and said.

Everyone nodded, and followed Chen Guohua, Liu Hongwei, Bai Wenshu and others into the living garden.

This is not the first time for them to come here, because the base of [Thunder Game Company] is here, and they often come here when submitting games for review.

But no matter how many times you come here, you will still feel a little shocked when you see the scene of [Thunder Life Garden].

"The land price in the Zhaoyang District of the imperial capital is skyrocketing. It is estimated that within a few years, this piece of land alone will be worth tens of billions."

Someone said something in a low voice, with unconcealed envy.

"Compared to the golden signboard of [Thunder Group], what is tens of billions of land?"

A young man next to him disagreed: "I'm afraid he can earn tens of billions in three or four months."

When it comes to this topic, some bosses who have achieved success recently have also subconsciously restrained their complacency.

Compared with Tian Moyun, their achievements are nothing to mention. After a year of hard work, no one earns more in a day.

……

The person who received them was none other than the CEO of [Storm], Xia Yu.

"Thank you very much for coming to the humble house. I hope that when we experience the new game later, we can give us some pointers..."

Xia Yu smiled and said the scene.

It seems sincere, but in fact it is extremely hypocritical.

But everyone is also very face-saving, Bai Wenshu said with a smile: "We have been yearning for your company's "King of Fighters" for a long time, and it is a great honor to experience this epoch-making masterpiece in advance today."

"I heard that the development cost of "King of Fighters" is close to [-] million? Is it true?"

Liu Hongwei is more concerned about this issue.

[Blazing Game Company]'s biggest gold-absorbing project is arcade games, and Liu Hongwei knows better than anyone what [-] million dollars means.

What's more, Tian Moyun, the recognized "No. [-] designer" personally took action.

The talent is the top, the cost is the highest, the designer is the most famous, and the hardware technology is the most advanced at present... Liu Hongwei dare not think about what this combination means.

Arcade masterpiece?

Seeing Xia Yu's confident appearance, this game called "King of Fighters" is definitely not just a simple arcade masterpiece.

"more or less."

Xia Yu smiled and didn't say much, just invited everyone to sit down and watch a promotional video first.

The promotional video adopts an animation style, which tends to be bloody, dark, and cool. Just a burst of opening scene surprised everyone.

The picture quality, special effects, dubbing...

Pick out any one that is top-notch in the industry, and it's all money.

At the beginning of the promotional film, several cool characters appeared, Kusanagi (ti) Kyo, Nikaido Benimaru, Yagami An (an), Shiranui Mai... Each of them has a stylish and handsome appearance, domineering, arrogant, cool, and charming... The image of the character directly came to my mind.

Not only some Japanese characters, but also the major traditional martial arts sects of Daxia, as well as cultures that are famous in the fighting world from all over the world.

The new version of "King of Fighters" can almost be said to be a hodgepodge.

but--

The game itself doesn't look bloated.

When Tian Moyun was designing, he focused on referring to the MOBA mechanism of later generations. The movements of martial arts in various countries are also relatively balanced. Some have outstanding strength, some have outstanding speed, some have outstanding skills, and there is also a balanced development...

Just designing and testing the balance of these fighting moves was a lot of trouble.

certainly--

Relatively balanced, not absolutely balanced, for passer-by players, some differences are not important, mainly depends on luck and proficiency.

Only professional competitive players can deeply realize the fun of "relative balance"...

……

The game characters do not use historical celebrities, but are distinguished by clothing and attire.

As far as Great Xia martial arts culture is concerned, there are Shaolin, Wudang, Tai Chi, Xingyi, Bagua, Baji, Wing Chun...

All over the world, there are countless well-known martial arts, and now they are all included in "The King of Fighters".

Of course, it is impossible to show it completely, so we can only simplify it appropriately and keep some signature moves for the convenience of players.

But even so, this is still a highlight of the new version of "The King of Fighters", which is enough to crush all fighting games with similar moves on the market.
