Chapter 234 Something Is Going to Happen, Third Update

NGS internally seems to have determined that it will be difficult to achieve the so-called Three Kingdoms Overlord.

Not long after, a review about this Three Kingdoms Overlord game also appeared in a game-related magazine.

That's a professional game reviewer.

He didn't know much about programming, but he found a lot of people through his connections who roughly understood that the capacity of this game might be quite large.

Either Sega was going to make an expensive product that would sell for two to three hundred dollars, or it was going to have to neuter the content.

No matter how you look at it, this is not good news.

But soon another magazine came forward to refute the other party's point of view.

That was the editorial office of BEEP magazine, a loyal ally of Sega.

They believe that a game should not be pessimistic from the beginning. At least we should first see the finished product before we can discuss whether it is good or bad. There is no point in discussing it so much now.

This has somewhat restored the reputation of this game.

But most people still want to see the reaction of the real game.

It's a pity that the real game is now located in China, and the real game is now closed to visitors. Everyone is focusing on game development, and some students' courses have even been temporarily put on hold.

No one can find out the details about the actual game, so we can only make random guesses.

Komura Yu did make a few phone calls to Zuo Zhen during this period, but Zuo Zhen basically just replied with a few words about waiting for the game to be finished, then hung up the phone and went to work.

Zuo Zhen is using game props now.

Especially since he himself is using a physical enhancement potion. The time for this thing is limited. If he doesn't take advantage of this time to make more content, why not wait until the effect of the potion wears off before slowly developing it?

Faced with this situation, Gao Cunxiong had nothing to do.

He himself actually had a little bit of uncertainty.

He was not sure whether Zuo Zhen could really make this Three Kingdoms Overlord as promised.

How about... reducing the promotional content a little bit?

And just as Sega was wavering, there was new news about NGS.

The person in charge who was individually assigned to produce a war strategy game completed an early trial demo of the game he was responsible for, and distributed it directly to media magazines and major department stores around the world for free.

The process of making this game is simple to say. Before this, the only war strategy game was the first Three Kingdoms game launched by Koei Japan.

This game can be regarded as laying down the basic gameplay of this type.

So wouldn’t it be enough to just follow this template and make a similar game?

At least that's what the responsible-turned-hardware development engineer thought.

The efficiency of stitching and replicating existing games is naturally very high, and then adding some creative ideas that suddenly come up.

The original first Three Kingdoms game already had the gameplay of choosing a prince to develop a city and then gradually rule the land of China.

On this basis, their team integrated some of the gameplay details of the Three Kingdoms game from the previous real game and released a trial version of their own war strategy game in advance.

The name of this game is: Warring States Hegemony.

The background of the game is set in Japan's Warring States Period.

If Sega promotes the Three Kingdoms, then it will have a Warring States period.

NGS took the lead.

In the trial area of ​​the department store, an adult was focusing on using an NGS game controller to control the character and lead the troops in the battle.

For the first time, this man felt that he could also rebuke Fang Qiu.

Although he felt that the war during the Warring States Period was always a bit petty and did not have much of the exhilarating feeling of conquering a city or territory, the details were quite well drawn, and at the same time, he also learned a lot about historical stories related to Japan.

"When will this game come out?" The man asked the service clerk next to him while continuing to use the controller to control the war scenes on the screen.

The clerk said with a smile on his face: "Guest, this game is not officially on sale now, but if you are interested now, we can reserve it in advance, and you only need to provide a deposit of ten dollars."

"Huh? What's the benefit of this?"

"Of course there are benefits. This way you can lock in the game in advance. As soon as the game arrives, we can give priority to selling the game to you."

The man was a little excited after hearing this. This game is really good to play. He had never discovered that video games have such meaningful works before.

Before, he had always thought that video games were just flashy products like Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.

It seems it's time for him to change his mind about video games.

"Here, here's ten dollars so I can get it early?"

"That's right, guest, you are the third one to make a reservation. When the time comes, we will definitely give you priority in selling the game."

"Oh? There are two more before me? Then it seems like this game should be good."

"That's for sure. NGS is a big brand, and Sega's games are actually incomparable."

"But I've seen Sega's games before, and the graphics are pretty good."

"It's just that the graphics are better. Let me tell you, Sega also wants to launch such a war game, but it is said that it is likely to be difficult to produce. But if you look at NGS, they have already launched the game for trial use. Isn't this gap reflected?"

"Hmm...it seems right."

The man nodded slightly, seeming to agree with what the clerk said.

The clerk was also very happy inside.

In fact, NGS’s sales commission is higher than Sega’s.

Because the overall cost of NGS has been reduced to a very low level, coupled with technological iterations, the cost of NGS games can also reach almost the same price as cabbage.

As long as you sell an NGS game, you can usually earn half of the profit from the sale. Sega only earns more than ten or twenty percent, saying that it gives all the profits to users.

So, it goes without saying to the store clerks what products to sell.

The man left the store satisfied, but he was still thinking about this war strategy game in his heart.

He planned to come back to play again in two days.

Although the trial only has one or two hours of content, you can play it several times with different tricks.

…

Snapped!

A roll of newspaper was hit heavily on Gao Cunxiong's desk.

His expression was very ugly, because it said that NGS had released a trial version of their war strategy game.

He knew very well that this was NGS' suppression and pursuit of them.

This bastard NGS never lets up and wants to crush Sega to death.

Sega was originally responsible for raising the popularity of war strategy games, but now it lets NGS pick a peach in advance. This is really intolerable. It means that all of its efforts have become a wedding dress for others. .

Then he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down as much as possible, and then he picked up the phone and called Zuo Zhen without hesitation.

No matter what, he had to get a clear and positive answer from Zuo Zhen, otherwise there might really be a big problem!
