Genius Game Planning

Chapter 291 The black hand behind?

The domestic market is Liu Neng's basic market, and he has been cultivating here for too long.Since the release of the first game in more than two years, it has won a pretty good reputation.Back then, "Three Kingdoms Killing" slammed a wave of favorability, which can be said to be the existence of the top word-of-mouth of current domestic game producers.

But foreigners, especially Mr. Bai, don't pay special attention to him because of the arrogant and stereotyped image of Asians.

"Spore" was already considered a miracle, but later on, even though Dota was so popular abroad, most of the mainstream media didn't think highly of it because of the deep imprint of "Liu Neng" on it.

For some reason, this epoch-making competitive game has not yet become a world-famous event, and there are problems in itself.This time "Minecraft" is also the same. Quite a lot of media don't think highly of it, which is in stark contrast to the high interest of domestic players.

Because the game has not been officially released yet, the vast majority of real foreign players actually get news of this game from the media.

Or how to say that the media will always only show the audience the "truth" they want to tell?
The information obtained from the second-channel news dealers is very one-sided and very biased.

At least from the current mainstream foreigner media, it is obvious that "Minecraft" is a useless game.

"All in all, "Minecraft" is a sandbox game concept. Looking at the promotional video, it seems that the gameplay is extremely rich. But if you think about it with your feet, you can imagine that a game that wants to dig deep in so many gameplays is Totally impossible."

"So, I can only say that although Mr. Liu Neng has a great idea, at the execution level, he chose the most impossible task. It is foreseeable that the game "Minecraft" has a lot of experience in various gameplays. , it is impossible to over-excavate. This will also lead to the fact that this game is only doing superficial work, and it is a game that is not worth playing in depth..."

Basically, the mainstream foreign game media have such an argument.

Interestingly, if only one media outlet said this, it might be biased and colored glasses.

But if the vast majority of mainstream game media say this, it may not just be a matter of prejudice.

——but someone is behind the scenes to fuel the flames.

When Abel saw the news, he reported the situation to Liu Neng almost immediately.

Of course, the overseas phone calls were made. After all, email communication is not time-sensitive. After all, the two owners are not short of money now.

"Have you seen the evaluation of your game by the game media here?" Abel didn't understand that Chinese people would spend a lot of time on the phone to exchange pleasantries. He preferred to speak directly about the problem.

Liu Neng lazily said, "Of course, I see, the reputation is very bad. What do you think?"

"I think their statement is too unfair. The vast majority of people here haven't really started to play this game, but in fact, you can also see videos of some players trying it out through various channels. Their kind The evaluation is very irresponsible, and I even feel a little malicious..."

Liu Neng said with a smile, "I actually want to ask, have you started playing? Do you think this game is fun?"

"Of course! This is the most interesting and exciting game I have played in the past ten years." Abel said excitedly, "Compared with "Minecraft", "Famine" is not at all What kind of sandbox game. I think your game can truly be called a sandbox. The creative gameplay in it is something I have never thought of before... Seriously, Liu, I really want it Open your head and see how these thoughts popped out of your mind..."

Liu Neng was quite helpless, "Recently more than one person has this idea. I think you are terrible. Why do you have to open my brain? If you want to know, I can tell you!"

"Right now at Riot, everyone is playing Minecraft crazily, and it's spontaneous, and no one is forcing them to play."

Liu Neng laughed. Of course, it is impossible for someone to force them to play this game. As long as they really play this game in the first three days, they will continue to want to play it as if they are possessed.Unless you stop playing because of something, it has this magic power.

"The so-called wind reviews actually don't have much impact. The game is still this game. Even if people believed what the media said at the beginning, they didn't think it was a good game. When a group of people really started to play, the ratings It will slowly change back." Liu Neng said.

"That's true." Abel said, suddenly paused, and said seriously, "I have some gossip. This time the media collectively gave you a low score, and there is a company behind it."

Liu Neng seemed to have expected it long ago, "Oh? Is it Storm Company?"

"you know?"

"That's not true, it was analyzed."

"I thought you heard some rumors? Logically speaking, there should be no rumors. I heard the gossip from my former colleagues. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Do you remember "Heroes of the Storm"?" Liu Neng asked.

"That game... it's half-dead now, I guess it will be the first game that Stormstorm will stop serving. But it should still last for a few years." Abel said with some regrets, this game is actually quite well-made , but the design of the gameplay itself has fallen into a misunderstanding, which is a pity.

"If there is no dota, this game might really be possible. The quality is there. But because it was released after DotA, there are some problems in the gameplay, which leads to the death of this game when it goes online. You say, the storm will Won't you be particularly angry with me?"

"But this does not mean that they will have such great hostility towards the game you posted, right? Although I have resigned from Stormy, I still want to say a word for my old club. Quite a few of them are actually It is based on the game, and when they see a game that they think is good, they will applaud and praise it. The media should be blamed for this..." Abel said with some dissatisfaction. This kind of unreasonable speculation is actually quite annoying. In particular, storms are actually a lot of people's beliefs.

Liu Neng shrugged his shoulders, but unfortunately Abel couldn't see it, "Maybe it's because of other reasons? For example, our company's games have affected the revenue of the storm. Of course this is just a small one of mine. Guess. The preparations for the official launch, how is it now? Abel."

He didn't want to continue entanglement on this issue, so he directly asked another new question. Just like before, the overseas distribution was still under the name of Riot, and then it was released on Steam.

　And right now I'm still working overtime.hard work.
