Chapter 492(1/2)
490. Things that can't continue to exist
The performance of Ghost Blowing the Light is not particularly good, but it is also considered unsatisfactory.
Although the sales volume is incomparable to the previous God of War series, Shanhaijing series and Assassin series, this is a very successful step.
The fields that Ghost Blows Out the Light are different from those games. This is a game with certain horror elements but with a heavy Chinese cultural atmosphere. The cultural output tasks undertaken are more important.
Looking at the relevant foreign comments, most of them are full of praise for the ghost blowing light:
“This is the best game I have ever played so far.
I can't find any words to praise the quality of this game, just as if my years of myopia were suddenly cured, and the entire game world became clear.
You can see what I mean by looking at the actual pictures in this game:

Is every picture perfect?
I really love this game so much that I can appreciate the atmosphere of the mysterious ancient country.
Most scenes can be taken to make screenshots into a desktop wallpaper. I bought this game because I was attracted by the quality of the game.”
"This game can be said to be the Chinese version of Tomb Raider. I believe that players of Tomb Raider will not be disappointed when they buy this game.
Because the game "Ghost Blows Out" is much better than the picture and quality of Tomb Raider.
If the former Tomb Raider could score 10 points, then the Ghost Blowing Light could score 100 points in terms of quality.”
"I have liked the games made by Bomi in China for a long time, and this time the Ghost Blowing Light is no exception. In addition to some strange words and pronunciations, the entire Ghost Blowing Light is very attractive. The puzzle design is just right and has a good sense of action experience.
I think Bomi should consider such a good game. It should not be sold only on the PC side, but should take care of every player who needs it as much as possible. For example, I like to play this type of game on XBOX.
PS3 is also a good choice.
The main thing is that it will be smoother to operate with the handle and the experience will be better.”
Seeing this, Cao Yang couldn't help but frown.
In fact, the project team itself has this plan, but it is a bit troublesome to transplant PS3 and will not be released so quickly.
What's more, Bomi Company has a huge promotion channel like the AIR game platform, and there is no reason not to sell it on the PC side. After all, the AIR game platform is the basis for the company to survive.
Moreover, when you release games through the AIR game platform, the money you share is still distributed to your own company, rather than to other people's pockets.
Of course, there are certain differences and impacts on the sharing between Bomi's game platform department and the Ghost Blowing Light Project Team, but for Cao Yang, of course, it is better not to let the outsiders go.
But in the future, we still need to cooperate more with Microsoft and Sony so that we can maximize our benefits.
Cao Yang instinctively wanted to reply in English below, and it was already planned, but it would take a certain amount of time to transplant it to XBOX and PS3. He remembered it the moment he put his finger on the keyboard.
This is not your own game comment section.
Moreover, Li Lanyun repeatedly emphasized to him that as a company boss, you must not always pretend to be a public relations staff and spread messages on the Internet, as this will affect the company's original publicity strategy.
Cao Yang then retracted his hand vigilantly.
Alas, I haven't changed much about the habit of playing with players on the Internet in my previous life.
It seems that you must pay more attention in the future.
...
In short, foreign players’ comments on the game are quite positive, and this can be seen from the sales volume. Compared with domestic players, players in Ome prefer this kind of adventure puzzle solving and action games with certain horror elements.
Otherwise, Tomb Raider would not have such a high popularity and audience abroad.
To some extent, Cao Yang also has to thank Tomb Raider for helping them cultivate this type of gamers, otherwise the sales results of Ghost Blowing Light will only be even more dismal.
"Look at how high do people's evaluation of our game abroad?"
After reading the relevant foreign comments, Boss Cao finally regained some confidence.
Little Secretary:???
"Boss, you just said that this is all survivor bias. People who don't like to play this game will not play this game at all, let alone comment on the Internet."
Cao Yang:...
But there are not no negative reviews.
Many foreigners cannot understand some of the dialogue thinking in the game.
Especially in Grandpa's era, there was a strong red thought trend, so it would seem a bit difficult to understand.
"I found that Chinese people are not very good at telling a good story. Some deaths feel meaningless."
"And some places kill some people, which can better set the game atmosphere and make the plot more interesting. Why not do this?"
"I think the rest of this game is fine. What I can't understand the most is why the treasure I found with great effort was finally handed over to the country.
Don’t the Chinese understand the principle that private property is sacred and inviolable?
No wonder they live so depressedly.”
(The above are all written in English. In order to facilitate everyone's reading, the author translated it in advance.)
Cao Yang felt a little angry and didn't want to waste time playing against them, so he turned off the computer and stood up.
...
"Walk."
"Where to go?" the little secretary raised his head in surprise.
"Eat." Cao Yang said.
"oh."
Zhuang Yurou began to pack up and followed behind the boss's butt.
It is already past 12 noon and it is already dinner time.
People are iron rice and steel, and they are hungry even if they don’t eat for a meal.
When he walked out the door, Cao Yang's steps suddenly stopped.
The little secretary, monk Zhang Er, was confused.
By the way.
Cao Yang suddenly remembered something very important.
Even outsiders like Xiao Secretary will subconsciously pay attention to the star product of Ghost Blowing Lights and compare it with the Shanhaijing and Assassin series. So as a production team, wouldn’t the members of the Ghost Blowing Lights project team be even more sad?
Yes.
It seems that I have to comfort the production teams of Ghost Blowing Lights. I am afraid that these people will not feel very happy now.
...
Although the sales of the game "Ghost Blows Out the Light" are not ideal, these data are kept confidential and people outside don't know it yet.
So at the game enterprise summit held in the imperial capital, when reporters asked the attendees of relevant game companies, they were generally optimistic about the game "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Jingjue Ancient City".
Qiu Xin, CEO of Xishanju, said, "We are very envious of Bomi Company. They have the world's top technology and production team. I am also a fan of Bomi Games. I have played many Bomi games before, but I have been busy with work recently and have not had time to experience the game "Ghost Blowing the Light" as soon as possible.
But judging from the reactions of my colleagues, the quality of this game is definitely not mentioned, and it uses the latest X3 engine. According to Bomi's internal statement, it should be called X3.5, right? Mr. Li?"
Qiu Xin smiled and looked at Li Lanyun sitting in the middle of the venue.
Although Boss Cao did not attend this summit, Bomi Company sent Li Lanyun, the boss of the Interactive Entertainment Department, to give enough face to the initiator of the summit.
The latter smiled embarrassedly when he heard Qiu Xin's words.
"Bomie's R&D strength is recognized as strong in the industry. If they have opened the X3 engine, it only means that Boomie has even made the X4 engine. This is to use the weapons of the next era to deal with the current enemies, and it will be unfavorable."
Qiu Xin said with a smile.
"Ghost Blows the Light itself is also a big IP. We wanted to negotiate a cooperation agreement with Bachanger before, but we didn't expect to be taken first by Bomi. Otherwise, what you might have seen here today is not Bomi's "Ghost Blows the Light", but the Ghost Blows the Light in Xishanju."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing Qiu Xin's speech, everyone present, including the reporters, laughed.
It doesn’t matter whether Qiu Xin has contacted Bachang or whether he really wants to do ghost blow-ups.
Importantly, he expressed several meanings through these words:
First of all, Bomi Company has superb technology and is more advanced than on the market, so it can use the next generation of products to crush the contemporary products on the market.
Secondly, Bomi Company is Qidian's largest shareholder and naturally has the widest and richest game IP. The books with the highest rankings below Qidian have accumulated a large number of readers, and it is easy to monetize them.
But Qiu Xin just broke up, why can't Xishanju's project produce products like Bomi Company?
