Chapter 317 314. Combination boxing

The next day, Bomi officially released the release date of "Gun Girl", which is scheduled for October 27 this year.

At the same time, with the release of PV, the entire publicity offensive of "Gun Girl" is in full swing.

Bomi's channels have begun to spare no effort to promote and promote, from QQ to Bomi Weibo, Bomi Game Channel, and AIR game platforms are promoting "Gun Girl"

As long as you log in to the store interface of the AIR game platform, the first in the top interface recommendation column is the pre-sale interface of "Gun Girl".

The poster of "Gun Girl" can be seen on bus stops, subways, and various public places with relatively large entrances and exits.

...

This year can be said to be a year of great blowout in shooting games.

In July, Epic, which Bomi invested in, released a third-person shooting game called "Gears of War" on the AIR game platform.

The game was recognized by most players and many producers with its amazing graphics effects on E3 that ended earlier.

The game story tells the battle of survival between humans in the future world and the underground race Rocas. The game is of extraordinary first-person shooting game, but a third-person strategy action game that adopts behind the perspective, which can more clearly show the every move of the characters played by the player and the interaction with the environment is more vivid and rich.

The game's sci-fi feel and the game development using Epic's newly launched Unreal Engine 3 are amazing in terms of quality. From the game's character design to the environment, as well as the entire story background, players can remember the name of this game.

What's more, the third-person shooting experience adopted by Epic allows many players who were originally 3D to adapt to this game to a certain extent and get the corresponding experience.

So after the game was launched, it immediately won the favor of players.

Epic's War Machine, the platform is XBOX360 and PC.

In the first month of its release, the global sales volume exceeded 5 million copies, which is already a very amazing number, breaking the historical record set by the Assassin's Soul. At the same time, as of September, the total global sales volume of War Machines has exceeded 7 million copies.

The whole world is surprised by the success of this game.

To a certain extent, thanks to the sharp increase in the number of users of Bomi’s AIR game platform, the number of registered users of AIR game platform has now exceeded 150 million, and this group of people are quite willing to pay for stand-alone games.

Among them, there are many players who like shooting games. Then "Gears of War" won the hearts of players with its excellent quality and good gaming experience, which led to the success.

"Gears of War" has brought extremely considerable revenue to EPIC and Bomi, which is about 350 million US dollars in total, equivalent to 2.8 billion US dollars in soft girl coins, which is close to 3 billion.

Moreover, since the AIR game platform and war machine are both own, the cost of publicity and distribution has been reduced to a minimum, which is equivalent to the cooperation between the left and the right, and there is almost no waste of resources.

This game has been rated by the outside world as-

Bomi Games' devastating blow to steam.

Before the emergence of "Gears of War", Steam's Half-Life and the CS series derived from Half-Life became the most popular shooting game in the world. Although CS is still the most influential shooting game in the world, their influence has been reduced to some extent due to the arrival of Gears of War.

Because the War Machine is exclusive to the AIR game platform, steam cannot obtain the authorization of the War Machine, so some users were taken away by the AIR game platform.

This is not the end. Shortly after the release of the War Machine, another major shooting game was also launched on the AIR game platform in August.

The name of this game is Mass Effect

"MASS EFFECT" is a science fiction-themed RPG stand-alone game developed by European and American RPG DreamWare, which incorporates action shooting elements.

"Mass Effect" integrates the combat elements of TPS (third-person shooting) in a structure with RPG role-playing as the main body. Compared with popular works such as "Breaking Out of the Siege" and "Biochemical Shock", this work focuses on action shooting, and the practice of integrating RPG elements is quite similar.

BioWare's production has always been known for its rigorous and atmospheric style. Whether it is the quality of the picture or the connotation of the game, "Mass Effect" has not disappointed players who like science fiction games.

With science fiction themes and powerful story background, players can truly feel the greatness of aliens and various non-earth civilizations in the game, and the insignificance of human beings in the vast universe.

Sacrifice and rescue are filled with the entire mass effect game.

This is a higher latitude, standing at the height of God looking down at the soul.

Therefore, the mass effect is a well-deserved masterpiece, allowing players to fall into deep contemplation after experiencing the pleasure of future science fiction shooting games.

Under the "Mass Effect" store interface of the AIR game platform, many players participated in the comments:

"There is a man who stands firmly between human beings and the greatest threat it faces, becoming the only solid barrier. In Mass Effect, I embark on a wonderful adventure of Commander Shepard.

This game is very good and will definitely not disappoint you after playing it."

"The game gives the universe an infinite possibilities, giving it an appropriate imagination and a sense of real touch.

The vast galaxy, the magnificent galaxy, the magnificent Cidital, the prosperous cosmic civilization, the magnificent planetary landscape, artificial intelligence life, and the legends of Normandy and Shepard.

Science fiction is based on assumptions, and the game is presented from a human perspective. The mass effect grasps the scale of science fiction very appropriately, and there is no incomprehensible existence.

On the contrary, these science fiction things have a shadow of human civilization. Because of this, players can comfortably accept them without taking off their tinted glasses called "Humanity". Players will doubt the entire universe and will also be surprised by the different speaking habits of each race.

The elegant Asri, the brave Turian, and the tough Korgen will teach players to accept life from an inclusive perspective.

A highly civilized race, the vast galaxy, and inexhaustible resources, the game will also give players the courage to explore aliens. Every trip and every planet is a brand new experience.

This is the mass effect. Science and fantasy are embodied in the wonderful game world, and ideas and stories are expressed in interesting plots and gameplay.

The collision and fusion of the multiverse, who can’t think about the stars when looking at them?”

"I am Commander Shepard, this is my favorite game on the AIR gaming platform."

...

"Mass Effect" is very good. The only regret that Bomi did not sign an exclusive agreement with him. In other words, "Mass Effect" is not only released on the AIR game platform, but also on steam.

Fortunately, there is an effect called the [Matthew Effect]. When everyone has similar chips, players will be more inclined to choose a platform with a large number of people. In addition to the die-hard users of Steam, most players choose the AIR game platform.

After its release in August, the sales volume of "Mass Effect" exceeded 1 million copies in the first month, and its reputation was very high, with 20,000 positive reviews, with a high praise rate of 95%.

Affected by reputation, the subsequent growth rate did not decline but continued to maintain rapid growth.

If it weren't for the fact that this game did not support the Chinese version, its sales would probably have surpassed the War Machine.

This incident made BioWare producer Hudson understand a truth-

The Chinese market is indeed very powerful now, so powerful that it cannot be ignored.

In an interview with a reporter in September, he said, "The biggest regret of the mass effect is that the Chinese version was not released in time, so our quality, design, music, story, and shooting experience are not worse than "Gears of War", but the results are much worse than "Gears of War".

This is not to say that Gears of War is not good, of course they are also excellent.

But I don't think we should only get less than 1/3 of its sales results for the same period.

This incident made us realize the greatness of the Chinese market. We have received a large number of messages from Chinese players on our official websites and AIR game platforms.

They told us that they like the Mass Effect game.

But they need [Chinese version], and they even told us about this in many different countries' languages."

While saying this, Hudson showed reporters the photos he took, which were about the players' comments on the AIR game platform, saying:

【We need Chinese

We need Chinese

Chinese is necessary

Nous avons besoin de chinois

Wir brauchen chinesisch

Necesitamos chino

potrzebujemy chin

Precisamos de chinês

Намнужнокитайский

Χρειαζμαστεκινζικα】

This screenshot made the reporters laugh.

"So we'll make it as soon as possible and expect to launch the Chinese version of Mass Effect in April next year," Hudson said.

...

It is an indisputable fact that China's influence is getting bigger and bigger. Moreover, China's market is getting bigger and bigger, not just the demand market at the material level, but spiritual demand is also very important. The demand for entertainment and cultural products has created a very large market.

But everyone hasn't fully realized this before.

With the continuous expansion of AIR gaming platforms, the whole world knows such a thing from the perspective of intuitive sales figure comparison-

If the game wants to sell better, entering the Chinese market is a very wise choice.

Conversely, if you do not consider the needs of Chinese players and do not have the [Chinese version], then no matter how good your game is, the sales volume will be greatly reduced.

...

However, even if there is no Chinese version.

The sales volume brought by the mass effect is another miracle, and people can't help but doubt—

Nowadays, it is too easy to make games? As long as your game quality is good and you can access the AIR game platform, you can basically achieve good results.

And now, Bomi Games is actually adding another new shooting game -

"Gun Girl"

Although "Gun Girl" is a third-person shooting game, it is completely different from the mass effect and war machine. It can be regarded as a new field. Whether it is from the style of painting to the character setting, to the entire world view structure and the combination of beautiful girls and guns, it brings players a new experience.

The game has not yet been launched, and has attracted widespread attention from all over the world.

The focus of "Gun Girl" is on the aesthetic 2D character, the combination of girls and gun shooting, and a strong worldview. In addition to continuing the influence of "Gears of War" and "Mass Effect" on TPS, the more important thing is to find some marginal users, broaden the user group and sink to more people who did not like shooting games before.
