Chapter 698 Civilization's First Launch Day (77)

697

Hayakawa Ueto's adjustment is still in full swing, while Takeyusei is ready to release his second game this year.

Civilization.

In Takeyusei's original world, the full name of this game should be Sid Meier's Civilization.

Sid Meier is the name of the founder of the Civilization series.

It is also his unique style to name a game after his own name.

Takeyusei has considered whether to do the same, but it is estimated that many people will find it difficult to understand why Sid Meier was suddenly added.

Blindly copying Sid Meier directly is not a meme, it will easily confuse people, and they will be eager to know who Sid Meier is, causing unnecessary trouble.

So Takeyusei can only silently thank this big guy for creating the Civilization series in his heart.

Let him make this series shine in this world.

As early as when Titanfall released a technical demonstration, the first trailer of Civilization was released.

At that time, many players were very interested in this trailer.

Later, Civilization gradually announced the gameplay, as well as some of the game's settings, etc.

Regarding the gameplay, a more accurate description is that this is a 4X game.

The so-called 4X game means four words with EX in English.

They are: exploration, expansion, development, and conquest.

When the game announced the entire gameplay, it won the unanimous welcome of simulation business enthusiasts as expected.

This kind of game that simulates business on the scale of the entire human civilization is also a new first. Just thinking about it feels super cool, okay.

Building a civilization from scratch and then gradually developing it into a modern civilization immediately gives people a very grand feeling, which is definitely worth playing.

Civilization was scheduled to be released in August. During this period, third-party game manufacturers following Youxing Electronic Entertainment have also launched their own game products one after another. On the one hand, it is also to avoid conflicts between games, so as to avoid causing each other's sales to fail to increase.

You always have to take care of your own people. You can't just increase your own sales, otherwise you will be alienated.

August is the window period, and it is also the hottest time of the year. Most people at this time don't want to leave the cool air-conditioned room, so entertainment in the house naturally becomes their best choice.

At this time, the sales of games will also increase significantly.

"Hurry up, if you are slower, you will not be able to catch up with the release of Civilization! I specially took half a day off today to buy it. This time I must buy the signed version of the main creative team!"

Two office workers wearing suits and ties and holding briefcases in their hands are running wildly on the bustling streets of Akihabara.

At this moment, they have fully released their potential, like mad dogs.

It is only seven o'clock in the morning, and it is not time to go to work yet. Moreover, Akihabara is not their place of work. They came here for only one purpose, that is, to buy the upcoming Civilization game.

They were originally loyal simulation business players. How could Youxing Electronic Entertainment launch a simulation business game without them?

Nowadays, Internet shopping has become a very popular way of shopping, and is gradually replacing traditional offline shopping, which has also made many offline stores gradually deserted.

The store of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is one of the few physical electronic game stores that can achieve large profits.

The main reason for its profitability is that every time some games are released, the game production team will come to this official store in Akihabara for a signing event, just like a book signing event.

Anyone who has a little faith in electronic games will never miss this opportunity to get close to the game creators.

In the minds of players, the creators are the closest to gods, and even need to be worshipped.

When the two office animals arrived at the official store of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in Akihabara, there was already a long queue here, and the number of people was at least more than 200.

"Fortunately, fortunately, there are only more than 200 people. We should be able to buy civilization this morning."

The two office animals finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the number of people in the team. It was still meaningful to run all the way here.

"Two uncles, are you here to buy civilization too?"

In front of the two office animals, a young man in his early twenties turned his head and greeted the two office animals in a very familiar way.

"Uncle? We are not much older than you, right?"

The two office workers were a little speechless, but nodded in response to the question: "Yes, it seems that you are too?"

The young man nodded happily: "Yes, I am the most loyal player of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. I have been playing games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment since I was seven or eight years old. As long as it is a first-party game, I have played almost all of them!"

"Played them all?" Both of them were a little surprised.

This young man is probably the most loyal player of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, right?

Or a die-hard fan.

This person alone has contributed a lot of income to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

"Uncles, can I ask you which version of Civilization you plan to buy?"

The two answered in unison: "Of course it is the PC platform. This is the most convenient platform for us."

"Oh, that's what I was thinking too. I heard that this game will be able to play online in the future. How about we add friends on Battle.net and have a chance to play this civilization game online together in the future?"

"Can it be played online? I haven't really noticed this before."

The two office workers thought that since it can be played online, it seems that multiple people can play it, so they simply exchanged their Battle.net usernames and agreed to play together in the future.

During this process, the young man kept talking about all kinds of games he had played. He could talk about every game very well, and it seemed that there was no game he was not familiar with.

For the two office workers, they actually have very little time to play games, and they cherish any opportunity to play games.

In addition, they are busy with work, so they don't have much chance to learn more about games.

Now there is a person who is evaluating every game he has played, and the two are happy to listen to it.

If there is a game they are interested in, they will consider playing it when they have time in the future.

Soon it was time for the store to open, and the line soon became a little chaotic, but under good security order, people still entered the store in an orderly manner to buy the latest "Civilization" game.
