Lin Feng's voice fell to the ground, and the whole audience was shocked.
Many reporters at the scene were almost jaw dislocated in consternation. They looked at each other and looked at each other in horror.
A billion dollars to develop a game? It's too sensational. Don't say that there is no future, but absolutely unprecedented!
Nowadays, the most expensive game production and development cost is Sharm on Sega's DC, with a production cost of US $70 million. The production cost has been staggering. But the "World War" announced by the "second world" actually costs US $1 billion to develop, which is more than 10 times more expensive than "Shamu". What game actually costs so much money.
Even Hollywood blockbusters don't cost that much. Before that, the Hollywood blockbuster, which has set a global box office record of $1.6 billion, is known as "Titanic", the biggest investment movie in Hollywood history. Its cost is only $200 million. Is it possible to invest $1 billion in a game?
Many reporters can't believe Lin Feng's words, thinking that he is putting satellites and fooling them. But when I think of Lin Feng's words and deeds in the past two years, I have never talked in vain. Before that, Lin Feng said that he would build the world's first skyscraper, but now the layout and structure of the headquarters building are under intensive design. The second world has reached an agreement with the Yangtze River Industrial Group to build the world's first skyscraper, and the construction of the world's first skyscraper is about to start.
But the $1 billion to develop a game is a bit unacceptable.
What's more, reporters are even more puzzled is, can we make money from the game with an investment of 1 billion US dollars?
Seeing the disbelief on the face of many reporters at the scene, Lin Feng whispered and questioned this one after another. Lin Feng coughed softly to attract people's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe many people will not believe it. They think that our" second world "is bragging. However, I can tell you very responsibly that I am not talking in vain. The world war will be the most successful game of all time. Next, let's give a brief introduction to the game by minwu Li, director of the fourth game development department of our company. I believe that after listening to the introduction, you will believe why this "World War" needs to invest 1 billion US dollars. " Lin Feng said.
Minwu Li Qingqing clears his throat and puts a CD into the projector. The lights on the scene suddenly dimmed, and a picture of thousands of people fighting in New York appeared on the screen. Many landmark buildings in New York stand out, and even the statue of liberty, which has been destroyed and is being rebuilt, can be seen. A few seconds later, the picture flipped. This time, Tokyo, Japan appeared. Then, pictures of world famous cities such as Milan, London, France and Paris all appeared on the screen. Each city became a scene of war, filled with smoke and shrapnel.
Many reporters saw it and were slightly surprised. Is this the "World War" game screen, players in major cities fighting? Many journalists tremble in their hearts. If so, I'm afraid the $1 billion is not bragging. Just think about the cost of making city maps, which is astronomical.
Then minwu Li's introduction completely dispelled all reporters' doubts. But after listening to it, many people still exclaimed that "World War" was too big. Is this possible? Does it belong to the present game?
There are three points in minwu Li's introduction of World War.
1. Players from all over the world will choose to join the alliance to fight between countries based on their respective camps.
2. To occupy all the territory except the capital of other countries.
3. Combat will be carried out in the simulated real world map, covering the combat weapons of the sea, land and air units.
Many journalists can also accept the first point. There are many games of this type, such as Empire age, earth empire and so on. But on the second point, many journalists are 100% suspicious. Other countries may approve the operation of World War, but is it allowed at home? This is not the most important point. After all, you can steal the dragon and turn the Phoenix and remove the landmark buildings. The most important point is the third point. If it really covers the combat weapons of the sea, land and air units, will the computer configuration be able to meet their needs? Although minwu Lee predicted that the game would be finished in three years. But such a terrible game, can the computer run in three years?
Many reporters are silent. For the huge structure of "World War", every man will have the desire and impulse to play. But according to the current structure and setting of "World War", I'm afraid that this $1 billion game will only become a mirage in the end.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I also know that this game may not be able to be loaded by current computers, and computers in three years may not be able to run. Therefore, I appeal to computer manufacturers around the world to speed up the production of computers as soon as possible. Otherwise, if" World War "comes out, it will be a pity that there is no computer support." Lin Feng took the opportunity to appeal.
Many reporters burst into laughter, there are game manufacturers urging computer hardware manufacturers to upgrade. However, it seems that Lin Feng is determined to make this "World War", and the investment cost of 1 billion is not empty talk.
A lot of reporters were speechless. However, they are only journalists. What they need is information. Whether it can be finished in the end is not their responsibility. They are only responsible for publishing the news and selling money.
Subsequently, Lin Feng announced the first "Second World players' annual meeting", which will be held in Shanghai Square on the 19th and 20th of this month. He hoped that the players who are free at that time can come to participate in the players' annual meeting. And the all-star concert will be held on the evening of January 20, when all the 48 stars in the "all star lineup of the dance company" will attend.
This news is the best news for the reporters. They have been waiting for a long time. 48 superstars are coming at the same time. I'm afraid it's unprecedented, and no one will come. Every superstar is enough for them to write a whole report, not to mention 48 superstars. In particular, there is Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves, who will also lead his own band to come, which is undoubtedly more exciting.
Laba Festival, all star concert. It's exciting to think about it.
"Finally, please have a taste of the dinner of my newly listed company." In the end, Lin Feng still followed the old rules and gave each reporter dinner.
Under the charm of the Internet, the news of today's press conference is not equal to the news published by major newspapers the next day, which has been known all over the world.
Naturally, those computer game manufacturers are most surprised. While they are still struggling with tens of millions of game production costs, Lin Feng still announced to invest 1 billion US dollars to develop an online game.
This news, like an atomic bomb, detonated the global computer game industry.
One billion? Hearing this figure, both EA, the world's largest game manufacturer, and Nintendo, an old brand, are shocked. The news is so shocking! One billion dollars is enough to build a skyscraper, but it's an exaggeration to develop a game!
As the world's largest game manufacturer, electric Arts (EA) is the first one to be interviewed by a reporter. When asked about the "second world", the one billion dollar game development plan that makes everyone gape, EA President Peter Moore extremely disdains to say
——Making games depends on a mature team, tacit cooperation, and needs to be refined. Companies like "second world" that constantly create gimmicks will only fail in the end. The so-called masterpiece is also known to be "rotten". Let's see what the world war will be like in the end.
Ubisoft, the third largest game manufacturer in the world, has just been robbed of the copyright of magic gate and hero invincible series by Lin Feng. Even the NWC studio has been poached by Lin Feng. Let alone how deep the complaints are. This time, a reporter interviewed us, naturally we will vent our complaints.
——A billion dollars to develop games? Indeed, I admit that "the second world" has the financial resources, but a classic game can't be developed with money. It needs the inside information and precipitation. I think "the second world" is terrible! Maybe in another ten years, they can try.
Japan, on the other hand, has been roaring about this. Globally, Europe, America and Japan are in charge of the game industry. Europe and the United States unified computer games, while Japan dominated the home game market. But now suddenly a "second world" emerges, and a Lin Feng emerges. He not only successfully opens the company's branch into Japan, but also leads the world in the operation of online games.
This is a great shame for the Japanese game companies, which have always been very proud and proud. Now Lin Feng even says to make a game worth 1 billion, which makes the Japanese game companies even more angry.
Once upon a time, Sega's $70 million production cost for "Shamu" made all Japanese game companies look concerned. It has repeatedly shown off to European and American game manufacturers at E3 and other game exhibitions, boasting that domestic game manufacturers are constantly improving their games. Now Lin Feng develops the game with 14 times of its production cost. Japanese game companies think Lin Feng is slapping them in the face and humiliating them.
What qualifications does a Chinese company have to develop a $1 billion game? Even if it is developed, it should be their Japanese company.
Skowell Enix has just received Lin Feng's resolute and tough reply. Lin Feng resolutely refuses Yoichi Hotan's fantasy of re signing the agency contract for "Magic Baby", which makes Yoichi Hotan extremely angry. In particular, some time ago, the news between Scoville Enix and new wolf network was constantly spread on the market, which made Hetian Yang extremely angry.
Yoichi HOTA is not stupid, naturally know that the company out of the ghost. And this insider, no doubt, is Fengjian hualisha, who once served as the head of the public relations department in Enix. He used his past relationship to dig out a lot of inside information from his own company.
Although Yoichi Kada was very happy to do so at that time, he just took the opportunity to blackmail the new wolf net, but he didn't know that in the end, he took advantage of Lin Feng and let him swallow the new wolf net alive. The new wolf net worth 300 million US dollars made Lin Feng swallow it at the cost of 100 million US dollars and "split it up", but he became Lin Feng's "accomplice". How could he be reconciled. Almost grandfather spent time in chagrin and anger.
Exasperated, Yoichi Hotan fired the entire public relations department. Unexpectedly, he fired the women in the public relations department, and in the twinkling of an eye, Fengjian hirissa, the chief executive of the Japanese branch of "second world", hired them all. Although the main business direction of "second world" for the time being is online games, which does not conflict with Scoville Enix, it is enough to make Hotan Yang vomit blood.
But there was nothing he could do with the hateful woman on the opposite side. Come black, the other side always has a few bodyguards to protect, can't start. Lai Bai, the evidence in Fengjian's hands makes many senior Japanese officials have no choice but to protect Fengjian. For this, Yoichi Hotan has nothing to do.
It can be said that during this period of time, Hotan Yang was very beautiful in front of him, but he was very upset and angry after him.
This time, Lin Feng threatened to build a game with us $1 billion, which let Hotan Yang seize the opportunity and roar straight at Lin Feng.
——Ha, will the Chinese develop games? Did I hear you right? When did the Chinese develop games《 The legend of swordsman? I admit what it means, but that's what Taiwanese have developed, and Taiwanese are all from Japan, and Chinese mainland has nothing to do with it. " Second world, "ha, do they have their own games《 Legend is Korean, and anti terrorist elite online is original "valve".
Plants vs. Zombies? It's just a small leisure game. It's worth making a fuss. As for the "all star lineup of the dance company", it's just stars. The game itself is mediocre. I don't know if a company that is nothing is saying 1 billion to develop games. Here, I dare to assert that if the "second world" does not invest 1 billion US dollars, it is OK. If it invests 1 billion US dollars to develop the so-called "World War", hehe, the "second world" will surely collapse.
Hotan Yang's manifesto is very happy. His words are supported by all Japanese game manufacturers. They all refute that Lin Feng is just a rich upstart. It's not about him to develop classic works.
After some "kind" reporters translated the naked humiliation of Yoichi Hotan, many domestic netizens scolded him. Although the reality of the domestic game industry is indeed as hideous as Yoichi HOTA said. Compared with Japanese game manufacturers, it seems that they are still toddlers, but now the strong rise of "second world", especially the popularity of "anti terrorist elite online" and "all star lineup of dance group" in Asia, has given all domestic netizens confidence.
Netizen "Xiaosheng in love" said: go to your mother's little Japan. Don't bark here. If you have the ability, you can spend 1 billion dollars to make a game. It's said that China's games are rotten. If you make a "strong dance group", it's true that "anti terrorist elite" is not a "second world" production, but if you have the ability, you can buy it. If you don't have the ability, don't disgrace yourself here.
Netizen "werewolf genie" also denounced that China's games are rotten, but it doesn't look at which country has the most gamers in Asia now. The home computer game market is not as good as you. That is "the second world". Now it is dominated by online games. In the future, "second world" will enter into the home game market, so that you Japanese have no food.
Netizen "Xiaofeng in the dark" scolds - Japan, you have the ability to develop a similar game. Compared with "second world", you can't develop it yourself. Don't be envious of others. If you have the ability, come and compete!
