Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

"Okay, but you should try to focus on your game called Pokémon now. I have known you for so many years, and I have never seen you pay so much attention to a work. The Pokémon planned in your room The setting of this work and the follow-up commercialization plan can produce several books."

Yu Youqing looked at Jing Yu across the table and said softly.

"As for the wedding, don't put too much thought on it now. There is still more than a month until the wedding at the end of October. I will take care of the preparations for this."

"you alone"

"No problem, you have hardly had any contact with your relatives for so many years, and you don't know anything about my interpersonal relationship. Even if you want to help me with this, you really don't have the strength to do it. Well, go fuck you Let’s get down to business. As for the announcement of the relationship, of course, as you said, with our current influence, this kind of thing cannot be hidden, but at least... wait until your Pokémon work is released before making an announcement If this work of Basheng has been robbed of our attention due to our private affairs, then the loss outweighs the gain." Yu Youqing said with a smile.

: Jing Yu was silent when he heard the words, but he didn't say much. After all, what Yu Youqing said was right, he really didn't know anything about these things.

"Understood." Jing Yu nodded.

Although there are no projects that require Jing Yu's direct participation to be produced in the near future, the release of Pokémon at the end of September and the preparations for the wedding at the end of October are enough to exhaust Jing Yu's energy.

One can be said to be the most commercially valuable work that Jing Yu can produce. If this IP can be made in the Dazhou plane, then Jing Yu can basically earn money in the next few decades and collect copyright fees every year. Cramps, don't be as tired as you are now.

As for marriage, the importance is actually more important than career. After all, once a person like Jing Yu gets married, he will go there for the rest of his life. Naturally, he takes this matter very seriously. Considering the choice of wedding venue and the type of wedding ceremony, Wedding photos, invitations from relatives and friends, and when to announce the wedding news.

Although Yu Youqing might have no objection, Jing Yu didn't want to hide it all his life, so from the beginning of September to the middle and end of September, Jing Yu was overwhelmed by these things.

But after all, the date of Pokemon's launch is finally here.

Unlike all of Jing Yu's previous works, the proportion of the plot in Pokémon is not so important in the game.

Pokémon itself relies on the world view, and the gameplay was popular in Jingyu's previous life. Although there are also animation works, it is more of a promotional linkage.

And in Dazhou, the positioning of this work will naturally not change.

The promotional trailer before the final game launch was released on September 21st.

This is actually how games are released. If Jing Yu's Blue Star Company is an unknown company in the game industry, then naturally no matter how powerful this Pokémon work is, not many people will pay attention to it.

However, in the past one or two years, after the sales of Kenshin and Yu-Gi-Oh have exploded, the number of game fans of Bluestar and Jingyu worldwide is also terrifying. one month interval

Compared with the situation before the release of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon’s game reservations are even more exaggerated.

Out of confidence in Jingyu, there is still a week before the game goes live, and the number of pre-sales of Pokémon games on major channel platforms around the world has exceeded one million

"It's really cool to play the old thief's game for two consecutive months."

"Today I cleared Yu-Gi-Oh! Next week, I will try my best to clear Pokémon. Then, after the old thief's Yu-Gi-Oh card is released in mid-October, I will go to the Imperial City offline game exchange meeting and play with my friends in the dry broken fan group. After two months of the physical Yu-Gi-Oh card, next spring, there will always be one of the two TV series "Black Notebook" and Naoki Hansawa that will start broadcasting. Looking at it this way, the old thief has completely grasped our fans ah!"

"Although the old thief doesn't make much movies anymore, his influence radiates to my daily life in real time. For someone like me who loves to watch TV series, movies and games, the existence of the old thief is simply a gift from heaven. .”

"It's a pity that the old thief only has two hands and one brain. Otherwise, with a few more heads and a few hands, I wouldn't have a shortage of works."

"Isn't that an alien?"

"Do you think the old thief is not like an alien? His talent in the entertainment industry can be called an alien level for dimensionality reduction, but his creative speed is still in the human category. This is too uncomfortable."

"Actually, I don't play games very much. I still hope that the old thief will make more film and television dramas. Among other things, there will be one or two more film and television dramas like Giant."

"Let's wait for next year. This year, let's just play the game honestly. That's all the old thief's work plan for this year."

The closer the Pokémon's release date was, the more commotion Jing Yu's fans became.

They are also looking forward to Pokémon, a masterpiece game with a production cost of up to 500 million, but they are also worried.

Whether Jingyu's Jianxin or Yu-Gi-Oh, they are all excellent game works in various senses.

And Pokémon will continue Jingyu's excellence as always, or

The game with the seventh highest investment in the history of this big week game will be like the previous six big investment games.

Although the game industry in the Dazhou plane is developed, the strength of the game industry in Dazhou can only be regarded as upper-middle in the world. Before Pokémon, there are six games with higher investment than Pokémon, with an amount of 500 million or even 1 billion. All of the above. But they're all gone.

Three of them just saved their capital, and three of them were direct losses, and they did not meet their performance expectations before they went online.

On the contrary, those game works with an investment of 100 to 200 million yuan have mostly achieved good results.

This is also the reason why Dazhou’s game industry rarely engages in large-scale investment movies, and few game works can be released globally. Investors are afraid of losing money and dare not make heavy bets, but they dare not invest money in large-scale investment works. Your game It is bound to fail in global sales.

So in fact, Jing Yu's game colleagues in Da Zhou are in mixed feelings.

On the one hand, as Da Zhou's established game production company, they don't want Jing Yu's Blue Star Company's game department to rise up and compete with them for cakes.

But on the other hand, Jing Yu, who has never missed a shot, if his Pokémon is really released at the same time around the world, it will become a big hit

That can also be regarded as a business card of the Dazhou game industry in the global game circle. In fact, it is also of great help to the big week game industry

Of course, gamers at home and abroad don't care about these.

They only care about whether the game is fun or not.

Even in the past few days, a well-known overseas game blogger was too bored waiting for Pokémon to be released, so he directly summoned a group of his friends to Jingyu's overseas branch to shoot videos and hold parties. These things are still published overseas. news.

Finally, at the end of September, the day when the Pokémon game will be released globally.

At this time, there is no need for Jing Yu to appeal and promote it. It has been almost two years since the project was established, and it has been promoted for more than a year.

In the early morning, the first batch of players entered the Pokémon game world for the first time.

As soon as they entered the eyes, many players were attracted by the painting style in the Pokémon game.

The painting style of Pokémon itself is cute in Q version, and the game plot is not so bitter and bitter. Although the open world game made has plot guidance and main plot, compared with Yu-Gi-Oh and Kenshin, its The sense of game presence is stronger.

Trainer system, Pokeball, journey, mission, exploration, battle

These elements, which are familiar to Jing Yu's previous Pokémon players, and even made his eyes tingle when he played them, are so fresh among the players of Da Zhou.

And not only the male group will be attracted, Jingyu's female fans who don't like playing games very much, on the day the game is launched, they are attracted by the live broadcast content of major video sites on the whole network, and their eyes shine.

There is also this kind of game?

Of course, Pikachu, the popular elf king of all Pokémon works, is naturally an important partner of the protagonist, and has appeared from the beginning.

This cute golden mouse is already eye-catching enough in the trailer.

And in the game, its modeling is definitely one of the places where Jingyu spends the most money in this game. When he walks, he bounces all over his body, and if the character controlled by the player walks slowly, it will still Waiting for you in front, and will look at you innocently with cute big eyes. When you are tired in the plot, you will run to the shoulder of the protagonist controlled by the player and encourage you with the cute voice of Pika

The game has only been played for less than two hours since its release. Players still haven’t understood the plot, world view, and main storyline, but the elf Pikachu really makes them call “awsl” so cute.

"It's not enough, brothers, I feel that I may not like girls soon, I think Pikachu is my dream lover."

"But Pikachu is not female, no matter how you look at it, it is male!"

"Does cuteness need to be divided into male and female?"

"Can I say that I used the screenshot function of the game to capture hundreds of pictures of Pikachu for collection during the two hours of playing?"

"How did this biological old thief come up with it? It's awesome! My girlfriend, who is not interested in games at all, watched me play for half an hour, and then snatched my computer and played for a long time."

"I'm really convinced of the old thief."

"The figurines around Nima Pikachu are on sale, so they can't be sold."

"But there is one thing to say, this game is different from many old thief games before! Old thief's previous games are role-playing games that focus on plot. In many cases, the protagonist we control can not make many choices. Playing those games It’s more like watching a movie. But Pokémon. This map scene is too big. I came out of Novice Village, and there were only eight destinations for the first trip. I read everyone’s posts in the forum, The enemies that can be encountered in different destinations, the plots triggered, and the captured elves are completely different.”

"This is an open world game! But to be honest, I only played this game for an hour and found out. The world view is really amazing. It's not like there's no open world game before, but everyone knows it. , A game is a game, no matter how open it is, in fact, the plot, the map, and the direction of the story all have limitations. It's just that compared to those single-line narrative role-playing games, it is relatively more Freedom. But Pokémon. Although I also know that it is sure that the map cannot be infinite, but to be honest, I haven’t found any obvious boundaries so far, and there are many ways to play it. If the player is tired of playing Yes, you can even control the protagonist in it to lie flat like a salted fish.”

"However, I feel that this kind of game is not as clear-cut as the old thief's previous games. I know how to follow up the follow-up development of the old thief's previous games. Yu-Gi-Oh is to find out the secret of the thousand-year-old artifact in the game, and Kenshin is to defeat Shi Zhixiong. But Pokémon I feel is a story where the main character travels the game world”

"So, haven't you noticed it until now? The old thief deliberately weakened the influence of the plot in Pokémon, but focused on letting players experience the Pokémon world."

"What's the meaning?"

"That is to say, I guess there is a high probability that this game is more than this one. I discovered it when I was in Yu-Gi-Oh. Effect. But Pokémon actually thinks carefully. What the old thief focuses on is not the protagonist we control, but the various elves in the game world and this colorful elf world. Let you familiarize yourself with the game world view first, and then It may be the purpose of the old thief to produce various derivative games or peripherals in the future."

"To put it bluntly, people who only pay attention to the plot of the work and have a strong sense of substitution may be a little confused when playing Pokémon, but for someone like me who likes to explore and understand the world view of the story, I can only say that Pokémon is really amazing. Let me just say one more thing, I like Squirrel more than Pikachu. Long live Squirrel"

"Does no one like charizards? I think this grumpy elf is really handsome! Pikachu looks like a mutant rat, which is not my aesthetic."

"Me too, I like Jenny Turtle. There are also a few female characters in it. Did the old thief really not arrange to interact with them? I have been shopping for most of the day and can't find the plot option of how to fall in love with them."

"Is there any meaning to falling in love with a real person? I want to ask the old thief if there is a pet marriage system in this game. I want to find a wife for my beloved pet Pikachu."

"."

"Brother, you brain hole, stop, Pikachu is so cute, are you willing to let it enter the vortex of marriage?"

"Make a pair of Blastoise and Charizard. Water and fire blend together."

Pokémon went online all morning, and the situation is similar to what Jing Yu guessed. In the major game forums around the world, the topic of Pokémon is full, and the topics of all major game forums are full. After all, it is such a world view and gameplay. Both are novel games in various ways.

But the topics discussed by these players are not games at all, but most of them show off in the forum which route they took, what kind of exploration they used, and where and what kind of rare elves they collected.

There are also some players who showed obsessive-compulsive disorder tendency in the early stage of the game, and organized the elves that they saw in the game or in the forum and appeared in the game into a knowledge post

And in the process, these players discovered the horror of this game.

In just half a day, during the exploration process of players from all walks of life, more than two hundred elves with rigorous settings and unique appearances have been discovered.

It is naturally impossible to collect all of them. In the game, the protagonist does not have so many empty slots to collect so many elves. But because of this, different routes, different choices, and finally the combat systems and styles formed by the players are very different.

Although the plot is not as depressing as Jingyu's previous games, it is impressive

But as a game, its playability is absolutely top-notch.
