Chapter 650 The rare fun in the history of games
No one expected it.
"Journey to the West: The Legend of the Next Generation" can achieve sales of 9 million in just the pre-sale stage.
Seeing that the total sales are approaching 10 million, all employees of parallel lottery have directly entered the carnival mode.
Also entering the "carnival mode" are players who have been waiting for a long time in "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Next Generation".
Because "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" is open for pre-download.
Not long after, countless netizens began to post their "pre-download" screenshots on the Internet.
At the same time, many well-known top game anchors at home and abroad have also released their own live broadcast trailer of "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Next Generation".
Most of this is the spontaneous behavior of the anchor. They all think that it will be more popular to broadcast "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" at this time.
But it must be admitted that some anchors are indeed contacted by the publicity and distribution team.
However, whether it is spontaneous or intimate, as long as the anchor with a certain number of fans and influence reach a certain level, the publicity and distribution team will give away "gifts".
In short, the closer the time is to the node when "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Last" is to be officially launched, the more lively the atmosphere about this game on the Internet.
It is also in this lively atmosphere that at 12:00 New York time and 1:00 am Beijing time, "Interstellar Agents" was also launched on time.
And they naturally contacted the game anchor to broadcast the game live, hoping to use this to drive the popularity of the game.
In addition to the anchors they contacted, there are also some thoughtful anchors in China who started the live broadcast of "Interstellar Agents" at 1 a.m.
Not to mention, although most domestic players, peers in the game industry, and people with parallel lottery were not very concerned about this game.
But the sudden rise of "Star Agent" and "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Last Legend" still makes a considerable number of people want to see the quality of this "Sony masterpiece" of [Standard Edition 276] and [Deluxe Edition 398].
Therefore, there are still many viewers watching in the live broadcast room.
Such live viewing data was naturally monitored by the "Interstellar Agents" project team, DI, and parallel lottery promotion and distribution team.
America.
Interstellar Agents Promotion and Development Team.
Seeing that there was a live broadcast room about "Interstellar Agents" and the data were very good, they were all excited.
"It can only be said to be hot. Look, it's already 1 a.m. in China now, but the audience in each live broadcast room has as many as 100,000. It seems that our publicity strategy has really been successful."
“Now, you just need to wait for the sales data to be updated.”
"Oh, I think we should guess whether our sales data within an hour are 500,000 or 1 million."
"Or it's 2 million?"
"Oh my God, 2 million, this may be the sales that "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Times" will never reach in my life. I feel sorry for China. You know, they do not have the ability to create truly good games."
"Hahahaha." As soon as the words fell, a cheerful laughter suddenly rang in the office.
On the other hand, the parallel office area is also quite happy.
Since "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" will be launched tomorrow, all employees will stay in the company today and never go back to deal with emergencies.
Looking around, the office area is full of simple folding beds.
Not to mention, the experience of sleeping in the office together has a fresh feeling of boarding and staying on campus for the first time when I was studying.
In addition to the excitement and happiness brought by the sales of the game.
Therefore, even in the early morning, there were chattering everywhere.
And Xu Xiyu and Shan Xinbao were also among the chattering crowd.
The two of them sat barefoot around a foam pad on the ground in the corner, playing with their mobile phones and playing cards, and they all felt like they were returning to college in a trance.
As I was chatting like this, a voice with a sarcastic sneer suddenly came to my ears: "Everyone, have fun!"
This sound made the originally lively office area quiet instantly, and Xu Xiyu's gaze was also attracted by this circle.
Without asking, the person who was talking just now held up his cell phone and said, "Agents has been online for an hour. Do you guess how many people are online at the same time in Steam?"
"100,000 people?" As soon as the words came, someone immediately guessed.
"There are too many!"
"Is there more than 100,000 people?" A surprised voice came from another direction, "50,000 people?"
"There's too much!! Let's go and guess low."
"There is no ten thousand people, right?"
"It's really true, I'll give you a reminder." As he spoke, the person holding the phone could no longer hold back his smile, and he also stretched out his hand and compared it to everyone with a "six" gesture.
As soon as I saw this six.
The few people on Xu Xiyu's side couldn't hold it anymore.
Lu Jiu even laughed in silence and said, "No, there are only six thousand people, what's funny, right?"
As soon as these words were said, Xu Xiyu and the others had no time to laugh.
Only in the other direction did another extremely surprised voice come: "Damn, why are there only 600 people?"
"Snatch the young man?" Lin Zhengyu was shocked and turned his head suddenly to look in the direction he was just talking.
"There are 612 now." Good guy, this reply, like a wake-up number in the army, made the person who was originally lying on the folding bed in the office lift the blanket and climb up.
Xu Xiyu was no exception. Several people stood up suddenly and instantly squeezed to the computer closest to them and opened Steam.
"612 people? Isn't it possible?" Lu Yan said, and quickly started operating on the computer.
The other people who got up from the bed were exactly the same as their actions.
After a moment, when everyone clicked on the Steam page of "Interstellar Agents" and saw the information clearly showing [574 people in the game], there was a bang in the office area and it exploded.
"Damn it? It's true or false. Is there something wrong with Steam's server?"
"I guess there is really a problem with the server. There are too few people in the hundreds of people, and the few are a bit unreal."
Obviously, this data is too outrageous, so outrageous that even the parallel lottery employees who hope that "Interstellar Agents" will die suddenly can't believe it.
Xu Xiyu was also a little unbelievable. Seeing the number of online people in front of him who dropped from [574] to [549], he couldn't help but ask Lin Zhenyu: "Is there a problem with the Steam server?"
"I don't know, logically speaking, there should be no problem. If the server is stuck, the number of people online will not change." Lin Zhenyu was also puzzled.
Just this data is too bad.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
It seems that the sudden death is a bit indescribable, and this is simply a wonder in the history of the game.
The key is that this is the number of people online that have just been online for one hour.
At this stage, people online and those who bought the game can basically be equated. In other words, the sales volume on Steam is estimated to be more than 600.
The development cost of US$400 million is calculated at a price of US$39.99 per share, even a sales volume of RMB6 million is considered a loss.
Sales volume of 600, this...
"I guess there is a problem with the statistics. No matter how bad it is, there are only a few hundred people, right?" Xu Xiyu couldn't believe this data.
Of course, what I can't believe even more is the project team of "Interstellar Agents".
quiet.
At this time, in the office area of the "Interstellar Agent" project team,
Silence like death.
You know, just an hour ago, they were still celebrating and imagining.
Even DI's core team led by Green Hair Nose Ring Man brought champagne to celebrate with everyone this game with full DI elements, and sales took off.
But now, the Green Haired Nose Ring Man and the main planner of "Interstellar Agent" looked at the data in the background and kept silent for a long time.
After a long time, the main planner said in a hoarse voice: "Call Steam officials and confirm again if the sales data is incorrect. There is also the PS platform. Please ask again."
Listening to this arrangement, the person next to him immediately ran to the side and called.
In fact, just 5 minutes ago, he had already played it once.
Even, 10 minutes ago, 15 minutes ago, and 20 minutes ago, he even played.
When I called before, the answer I got every time was "There is no problem with sales data, there is indeed only so much."
This time, it is naturally no exception.
Two minutes later, he walked back, and said with a tactful expression: "Maybe, maybe it's because our users are still busy working and have not officially opened..."
Before he finished speaking, he was frightened by a huge voice.
The master planner suddenly swept the computer in front of him and the things on the desk to the ground.
Looking at the mess all over the ground, the person in charge stood with his hands on the table, constantly gasping for breath.
"The sales volume of 812 copies of Steam and PS combined is only 812 copies?"
"Shame, this is simply an insult!"
Speaking of this, the main planner was already blushing, and the veins on his neck and forehead also rose.
The green-haired nose ring man next to him was extremely difficult to see his expression.
However, compared to the anger of the main planner, what it is now eager to know is another thing, that is, what is the pre-sale sales of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend".
If the sales of "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Next Generation" are also very poor, then there is still room for improvement.
But if the game "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Times" was a game invested by a clearly anti-DI person and had a huge sales hit, then DI would really be hit.
So, it asked its assistant with red eyes: "Didn't I ask you to inquire about the sales of the damn Journey to the West: The Last Legend? Have you found out?"
The assistant asked this question trembled all over and stood there, hesitating and really dared not speak.
Seeing that he was in this state, the Green-haired Nose Ring Man knew that he must have found out.
So it took a step forward and pinched the assistant's shoulder with both hands: "What is the pre-sale sales volume of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend"?!!"
"Yes..."
"Say it!!"
"The news from 5 minutes ago, Steam and PS platforms combined, probably...yes..."
"How much, damn it, please tell me quickly!"
"It's about 10 million."
