Chapter 1120: It's impossible to lose money
In the final analysis, even if they understand something, Sun Ya and the others are only half-baked.
Of course, Sun Peng is actually the same, and he can only be said to be a pure layman.
However, Sun Peng can be sure of one thing, that is, if "The Legend of the Old White Heroes" can really be made with the technology of this world and perfectly meet Sun Peng's expectations, then its revenue will definitely not be limited to the so-called sales!
Of course, even if he only relies on sales, Sun Peng feels that he may not be able to recover the cost.
It's not that he deliberately thinks about the good, but when the Chinese economy is developing to this point and the national self-esteem and pride are further enhanced, not only music, movies and other fields are eager to go to higher places, but the game industry is also the same. Just like a slightly better domestic game on the planet can sell well, how can this world be different?
The total sales of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" exceeded 100 million, most of which are due to Chinese players.
And it's not just people who like this game to buy it, many players who don't like to play FPS very much, have bought one because of the Chinese blood of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" - ninety-eight yuan is not expensive anyway, is it?
What about "The Legend of the Old White Heroes"? How much can it be sold for?
If it really does help enough, how about three hundred and ninety-eight? Four hundred and ninety-eight, can you try it? Giving a price of one hundred and ninety-eight when crazy discounts will make players excited?
After thinking about it, Sun Peng felt that he could think boldly!
He really didn't have a big brain after he was inflated, but he had several reasons as a basis.
One of the reasons is naturally the level of game production in this world! There must be a distance compared to large European and American manufacturers, and the gap seems to be not small compared to Japan? But compared to China on the earth, the life of Chinese gamers in this world is quite nourishing. Not only are online games and mobile games popular, but stand-alone games don't seem to be very bad, at least there are many games that sell millions of games every year, and three or four million often appear.
In the final analysis, the protection of copyright in the last decade or so has played a role.
What's more important is that the market in Huaxia is large enough, so if you add up the number of stand-alone and online game practitioners, the number is quite amazing! Not only can they meet the demand in China, but even a lot of work in large European and American factories is outsourced, and these people are no worse than their foreign counterparts.
What is lacking is just top-notch talent and experience in making triple-A masterpieces.
However, Sun Peng has thought of this for a long time, so he will supplement it through Chen Maolin and more talents recruited from overseas. Although there will be new teams that need to be run-in, what are you afraid of when there is no limit to the time to complete the game?
The second reason, of course, is money!
Sun Peng knew that he was rich, and he had a lot of money that could be included in the list of the richest people in China. And compared to other rich people, what is even more terrifying is that all he has is cash. In the absence of the desire to invest, and without any exaggerated bad habits, Sun Peng can of course use the money at any time.
If necessary, Sun Peng will have no problem even if he smashes 20 billion.
But of course he won't be so desperate, but in order to make a top stand-alone machine in Huaxia, it's definitely no problem to throw three or four billion.
And is this investment really an exaggeration?
Look at those big manufacturers in Europe and the United States, the real top games, that one didn't start with 500 million? Although Sun Peng also knows that the production cost will not necessarily be very high, because a large part of it will be publicity and distribution funds. But people dare to smash so much money, if you don't dare to smash it backward, how can you catch up?
The third reason, which is the last biggest reliance, is naturally Sun Peng himself.
It's just that what we're talking about here isn't Sun Peng's money, nor is it his determination to unconditionally support the game, but the things that Sun Peng has in his mind!
An RPG, what's the most appealing thing?
Some people say that it is the gameplay, especially after the open map has become the mainstream of the masterpiece, the gameplay is even more important; Some people also say that it is the picture and optimization, and the experience of Caton is too poor; But there is no doubt that almost everyone will put the plot at the forefront.
Whether it is the main line or the side line, the plot can be an important factor in measuring the quality of an RPG many times, and sometimes it can even become the most important criterion, there is no one!
And the Chinese gamers have also been weak in this regard for a long time.
The lack of attention for a long time has made Huaxia's game screenwriters too few and seriously lacking experience. Coupled with factors such as too little accumulation of RPG masterpieces themselves, the plot of RPG games will always attract scolding. The end result is that although it has a history of 5,000 years, in the field of game development, it is the European and American themes such as magicians and wizards that are more popular.
But in Sun Peng's case, the situation is completely different.
Maybe in terms of game production, Sun Peng is a semi-layman, especially when it comes to specific technical fields, he can only be a silent listener, but if it involves the plot and how to hook the player's heart with the task, then Sun Peng can shout to anyone: "I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about everyone you present ......"
Hundreds of martial arts, just ask if you are afraid?!
Not to mention the eight books that were licensed to other game companies earlier, but will inevitably expire when the game is released in the future - in fact, considering the freshness of players, Sun Peng doesn't even want to use the martial arts he has published as the main line of the game!
Once you've watched it, the game will naturally lack some freshness.
Therefore, those miraculous skills in the eight books, such as Nine Yin and Nine Yang, and Descending Dragon Loneliness, Sun Peng will definitely use them, but they will not be used as the main line, or even as a branch line, they will only be used selectively.
The real core content is absolutely new and "original"!
Perhaps for others, this will be a very difficult task, especially when writing the plot of a triple-A masterpiece will be a huge pressure. But for Mr. Lao Bai, in fact, this is not much more difficult than writing a college entrance examination essay - since there are so many martial arts in his head and he doesn't plan to continue publishing, then he doesn't have to wait any longer?
Is the "Thousand Miles of Dragon" in "Book of Swords and Enmity" handsome? Isn't it cool to use it at the beginning of the game?
Xiao Li flying knife, one hit kills, when the level is high, to escort Li Tanhua into the customs, is it a sense of accomplishment?
Ruthless, iron-handed, life-chasing, cold-blooded, are they all distinctive, and they feel very powerful just by hearing the name? So what if there are a few such gods on the rivers and lakes of "The Legend of the Old White Heroes", how about fighting wits and courage with the protagonist?
There are also Yan Thirteen's fourteenth and fifteenth swords, who realized its darkness before making a move, and directly wiped their necks to commit suicide, isn't it shocking?
For such examples, Sun Peng can come up with a hundred!
What is the use of the plots that are familiar to martial arts fans such as Condor Shooting and Tianlong?
And......
Not only in terms of plot, but also in terms of gameplay, Sun Peng can't give any good opinions?
How naïve!
Just a martial arts adventure, you think about it, even if martial arts have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years, the authors are also brainy, but who can compare to so many martial arts masters on the earth and the subsequent decades of online research?
Kowtow to the scriptures, the Condor instructed such an example, Sun Peng can give you a thousand!
Don't say much about those simple ones, is the ancient poem Tibetan sword cow in "Liancheng Jue" bull? Is the white head in "Chivalry Walking" too cool? If you know how to learn words, you will become a generation of masters if you are purely illiterate, so you will be convinced?
Compared to those who fall off the cliff, fall into the water and the like, I don't know where it goes!
In addition to these, Sun Peng's countless experiences have allowed him to easily put forward countless valuable suggestions, such as light work, which can float on the water, fly on the grass, or change the fish and dragons, and ladder the clouds; For example, hidden weapons, such as peacock feathers, rainstorm pear flower needles, or Tangmen hidden weapons, Xiao Li flying knives; For example, the forces of the rivers and lakes can have various sects, and they can also be formed by power, money, and even Shenzhou......
As long as Chen Maolin needs them, Sun Peng can provide them all!
He can even proudly say that no matter which game, no matter which big company, if you only talk about the gameplay and plot, it is impossible to compare with "The Old White Heroes", which is still in words and on paper! Because Sun Peng never relied on one person, but the entire martial arts culture of China on the earth!
So......
After turning around in his mind a few times over the years, Sun Peng had the confidence to smile at his agent and assistant, and then said confidently: "Believe me, no matter if you can recover your investment by selling the game, but it is impossible for me to lose money by doing this "Old White Heroes"!" ”
