Chapter 29 Reputation decline?

These players immediately asked questions on the Internet, and soon met people who had the same experience.

Then compare it with players using other devices and immediately figure out what happened.

NetDragon's devices refuse to be compatible with Journey.

When they reacted, they immediately began to curse, and the more aggressive ones rushed into the comment area of ​​NetDragon's latest news, adding a few more spits to the comment area that had already been sprayed to pieces.

However, NetDragon's Lingxi account has not seen any movement since the last time it was ridiculed. It is being ridiculed as if it doesn't know what to do.

As long as I don't see it, nothing happens.

Players using NetDragon equipment are very angry, but there is nothing they can do. They can only log in to major live broadcast platforms and watch the host's trial play first.

Other players have already entered the carnival stage in advance.

They open the game and enter the sea of ​​sand; they find runes and get scarves; they see murals and fly around...

But the excitement quickly cooled down.

They were a little confused: "What is this game about? Just look for runes, look at the scenery, and then climb the holy mountain in the distance?"

After a group of powerful party anchors rushed across the broken bridge non-stop and ended the trial level, they fell into silence.

Millions of viewers scattered in various live broadcast rooms also fell into silence, and even felt confused.

They don't understand what's so fun about this game. It's just a little man in a cloak, walking around, looking for runes, touching the red cloth, and then passing the level.

How can this be as satisfying as sweeping across all directions with a submachine gun, and the enemies on the opposite side falling down like mowing grass?

They have never played, or even seen, a game with such a slow pace and no confrontation at all.

As for the anchors who have played it themselves, they don’t say the game is bad.

They did feel fun while playing, but the fun was too short-lived and not intense at all. The key point was that it ended abruptly just as it started.

Let them boast, but they don’t know where to start.

So I was embarrassed and fell into a weird silence with the audience.

This is the next-generation game that Lin You has high hopes for? Did he really not fool us?

Not only the players, but also people in the industry were confused after the trial.

Is this the first game for a virtual reality device?

A travel simulator with no sensory stimulation, no fierce confrontation, and very few interactive elements for players?

Although they know that the equipment they use is definitely lagging behind virtual reality equipment and cannot show the full charm of the game.

However, no matter what they think, even if the consciousness of a real person sneaks in, wouldn't they still go to a desert to travel?

Well, there is a mountain behind, so the scenery may be different.

But to keep players walking all the time, it's still like desert hiking and mountain climbing.

Is this really... interesting?

If the game itself is boring, will players still enthusiastically buy his equipment?

It is true that many people will buy it even to experience real virtual reality, but such people are ultimately a minority compared to the huge group of players.

After all, it’s impossible for so many people to spend real money just to play in a virtual reality desert.

Virtual reality equipment is not cheap no matter how you think about it. With that kind of money, it would be enough to travel around the desert in real life.

But how many people are really interested in traveling to the desert? Do you really think everyone is a fool?

They were confused, but NetDragon was overjoyed!

They even regretted a little. If they had known that the games produced by Lin You were so controversial, there would be no need to go to great lengths to ban them! NetDragon's brand image would be lost in vain.

But now that the matter has come to this, it is naturally impossible to lift the ban again. What will others think in that case?

Oh, when Lin You released a trial version of the game, NetDragon was so frightened that he quickly banned it. Later, he found out that there was no threat, so he dared to release it.

In contrast, they would rather make players feel that "NetDragon is too domineering and cannot tolerate opponents at all."

But these are just minutiae. They need to seize the rare opportunity to attack Lin You's sales plan of new equipment.

"Zhang Heying!" Zhao Yucheng, the young boss of NetDragon, named him on the spot. "The task of contacting the media will be left to you! Discuss it in advance as much as possible and let the game media give him a low score! As low as you can!

"

"This is very difficult. The ratings of the game media are what they attach most importance to." Zhang Heying is very confused. Does this boss really not understand anything?

Whenever some reputable gaming media rates new games, it is not only an important source of profit for them, but also their foundation to a certain extent.

If you want to get full marks, as long as you have enough money, that's not a problem.

At most, I can explain it later: "Everyone has different aesthetic preferences. The rating editor of this game really likes this game, so he has a certain subjective favorability bonus."

It’s not a big problem. Players can only scold me for a few days at most, and then I’ll do whatever I want.

But if you dare to give an excellent game a very low score, that's another matter.

If you give high scores to ordinary games, it can be because of different aesthetic preferences or even because you are paid. Players will not take it too seriously and do not doubt your professionalism. After all, they all have to be good!

But if you give an excellent game a very low score, players will directly doubt your professionalism and question your lack of respect and love for the game, and that you are just a businessman purely making money.

This is a very serious blow to the image and authority of the game media!

"So, it can't be done?" Zhao Yucheng stared at him.

"Yes, yes, but -" Zhang Heying explained, "you have to pay more."

"Then add!" The young boss waved his hand, "Money is not an issue!"

At this time, the planning director Hu Rong suddenly interjected, "Although Lin You's game is not good, there is no doubt about its popularity. In this case, why don't we take advantage of the east wind and promote "Fire 3" while attacking "Journeyman"?

"

There is a reason why he is so positive.

After Qin Songyun resigned, the project "Fire 3" was originally supposed to be proposed by the planner of the Lie Yan team, but he was cut off based on his seniority. Now he has taken the title of chief planner of "Fire 3".

Now when I see a publicity opportunity, I immediately step forward.

One dollar can serve two purposes. Zhao Yucheng thought it was good and a good deal, so he agreed.

Zhang Heying could only follow the boss's instructions and start working. He had done these things so many times that he couldn't do it smoothly.

If you have money to clear the way, the results will appear quickly.

"Lin You, an unqualified game producer?" became a hot word and appeared on Lingxi's hot topic list.

This is an article from "Game Star": "Lin You, an undoubted scientific research genius, and an ordinary to mediocre game producer?"

At the beginning, the ranking of this hot word was not high, but as media outlets and groups of trolls joined in, the ranking began to improve rapidly.

Compared with the previous rhythm, this time the players did not rush over to defend Lin You desperately.

Because they did have this suspicion in their hearts.

No one stipulates that a genius scientist can also become a genius game producer?

Perhaps Lin You is such a talented scientist who can even make technological breakthroughs that attract the attention of the world in a week, and also open the door to the next era for gamers around the world.

But his contribution may only go so far. The road behind the door is not what he is good at.

This job needs another talented game producer to take on?
