The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 170 The Four Heavenly Kings of Renni

Wu Mengyou also talked with Ren Ni about how to cooperate with other third-party companies in developing stealth games in the future, but it was a bit fake.

We still have to talk about it, but deep down I hope that the first generation of Rennie helmets will die soon, and it will be the most satisfying for Youxuan to monopolize it in the future.

Because in the future, except for some foreign manufacturers that have py transactions with Gu Meng, third-party companies will still be making masterpieces of primary stealth games. Other manufacturers will begin to use intermediate technology, and by then, Renni's equipment will not support your operation at all.

Ren Ni still doesn't know the specific performance of the second generation of Youxuan, nor does he know about the new generation of infiltration technology.

Currently, only some of Youxuan’s domestic partners know about this, but it is estimated that this news will not be kept secret for long, and their confidence is only temporary.

Wu Mengyou really wanted to know how they would feel at that time.

……

Japan, headquarters of Renni Co., Ltd.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the neon lights of Roppongi flickered on the cloudy skyline, just like the undercurrent of the game happening on the conference table at that moment.

They were still discussing how to fight this battle after the first generation of Nintendo was launched. Whether to rush in all at once or send troops in stages was a matter of consideration. These senior executives might not know how to make games, but they all had more ideas than the other.

The aroma of hand-ground coffee wafted through the conference room.

Kenjiro Yoshino, president and CEO of Rennie Games, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the projector remote control.

When Gu Meng heard that President Ren Ni in the parallel world was called this name, Yoshinoya suddenly came to his mind.

I don't know why, but all four of my subordinates like Yoshinoya's beef rice.

Actually, it’s not that delicious, especially since we all have money, we should eat better. The quality of Youxuan’s cafeteria is better.

This is also one of the seven wonders of You Xuan.

"Let's follow the original plan." Yoshino's eyes swept over his four subordinates, the Renni Four Heavenly Kings.

Three of them represent the persons in charge of a major escort work, among whom is the person in charge of "Star Wars" from the United States.

Two of the remaining three Japanese people are also working on escort masterpieces - this is the first time that Rennie has made a helmet, and in order to compete with Gu Mengchong, there can't be only one escort masterpiece, "Star Attack".

Compared to this North American studio, the remaining two are the real confidants. They must make money, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable for a while.

In the past, Sony may not have cared much about temporary gains and losses. After all, compared to the first party, they are more important as a platform, and they have various industries other than just making games.

Nintendo in the parallel world undoubtedly attaches more importance to games. It is the first time for him to make a stealth game, and he also has to make the helmet famous, which is relatively much more important.

Among the current major projects, that is, among the four Nintendo kings, the North American studio can only be considered Ma Chao.

If we can exchange it with Gu Meng, it will be a big profit. The credit will go to Ren Ni. I won’t feel sad if he dies because he can’t handle it.

They even use a lot of external investment in their investments, such as Fengchuan Group, and they just treat the losses as tuition fees.

In fact, their headquarters in Japan also thinks that "Star Attack" is disgusting, but they have to make it out of helplessness, just as paying protection money to the United States.

In addition to the three major projects, the remaining one is just to make up the number, "Astro Robot 3".

Its weakness is visible to the naked eye. The process is only four or five hours. The previous second-generation console version had a normal clearance process of at least twenty hours, and there were also many easter eggs. As a game, there are still die-hard Nintendo fans who can brag about it.

This generation is totally gone.

The Astro Robot also had something to say: You don’t even give me 100 million US dollars, and you know how difficult it is to steal the game. It’s obvious that you want me to make a small game just for my own good.

As for why Gu Meng was able to keep the cost so low when making stealth games, no one knows.

Or maybe all of them work for the Holy Body, and Gu Meng only takes one dollar as salary to lower the price, and the wholly-owned company has no regard for face at all.

Speaking of which, Ren Ni is really lame. There are actually only four people in the Four Heavenly Kings. This is where they are inferior to the great devil Gu Meng.

If Gu Meng ever creates a group of five tiger generals, there will definitely be more than five generals who can lead large projects alone.

"Let's start with Astro Bot 3 and Star Wars: The Last Airbender, then release the gameplay demo of Forza Motors in the third week, and finally... finally, let's release Tokyo Ghost."

Actually, I just want to shrink a little.

If Gu Meng doesn't look strong enough now, everyone will rush in. The current strategy of launching new products one after another is inconsistent with the mid-term change strategy.

The good news is that judging by Youxuan’s new key project, Black Myth, it will probably not be released this year.

It is only mid-October now, so there is still plenty of time. The release of major works one after another may not make enough noise, but it will keep the popularity longer.

The remaining two games can also avoid the "Darkest Dungeon 3" which was released not long ago, and after Gu Mengfu returned to Youxuan, he strengthened the staff. A batch of games were optimized and updated with mods, and a batch of games began to have a momentum of broken sales promotions.

Yoshino pressed the remote control with his thumb, and a vast galaxy appeared in the projection behind him. "'Star Wars: Rise of the Stars' took a shortcut and changed the background to a near-sci-fi setting. The galaxy is just a gimmick. In terms of technology and completeness, it's actually very good, but for reasons that everyone knows..."

The person in charge of Xingming Special Attack couldn't understand Japanese, but he had a translator, and his expression was unfriendly at this time.

It's unclear whether he was simply acting to express his attitude or if he really had some strange thoughts.

Yoshino doesn't indulge him either. He is the boss. It is one thing that it is not convenient for him to control you, but it is impossible to be afraid of him. You are just an employee, not a five-star emperor.

"I was not optimistic about him at first, but thanks to Ms. Meng's efforts, the public opinion environment is now in our favor. Let's use the highest standards for publicity and promotion resources."

In fact, if we use the classification of guns, cars and balls that are more suitable for primary infiltration equipment, "Star Wars" is a masterpiece of gun games, and "Ford" is a traditional car game.

In terms of sneaking into the PC car game field, not only has Gu Meng made "Runaway", a driving game that is not very mainstream, but later, at Gu Meng's suggestion, Lupa and Huan Shou developed "Forza Motorsport", which was a good example. Even "Football Fire" has driving linkage.

There is a stealth game that directly competes with "Forza". Because Gu Meng was wandering at the time, he only did the early planning, and almost everything was done by Lupa and his team. Even You Xuan's team of top talents took a full two and a half years to complete.

It was released not long before Gu Meng returned. If Gu Meng had not returned this year, the positioning of this work in Youxuan would probably be the same as last year's "The Taoist Immortal".

Maybe its expressiveness and level design are not as amazing as "Dao Weird Immortal", which makes Gu Meng have to praise Xiaozhi for being awesome, but its solid foundation in the ordinary life makes it more powerful. Now it has negotiated with various car companies, and it is a work without any weaknesses.

"Forza Motorsport" and "Need for Speed" were launched almost at the same time, and their performance was pure technical crushing.

The person in charge of "Fast and Furious" is not as tough as the team of "Star Wars". When the opponent comes out this year, they will know that they will be ridiculed by the public. In terms of completion and performance, all they can do is a completely degraded version, and they will definitely not win.

In fact, Rennie is out of work, including Ghost Tokyo. There are similar competitors, and they are not on the same level.

Gu Meng led the team, and Xiao Zhi continued to upgrade and optimize "Modern Liao Zhai". The more they wanted to copy it, the more they felt that the gap was insurmountable.

Even if you swallow your pride and want to copy, you can't. No matter what you do, it won't taste right, and the number of monsters is incomparable. Those who know will know if the opponent comes out first, and it's not easy to promote it.

At first glance, "Star Wars: Assassin's Creed" is indeed the most suitable for gaining popularity.

Originally, during the development of Rennie, I felt that the characters were too ugly, and that "Ford" and "Ghost Tokyo" were the most suitable.

I gave up after Forza Motorsport came out this year.

Gu Mengdu left and met Huan Shoulupa on the way. Although he was as strong as a monster, he still couldn't defeat him.

Halfway through "Ghost Tokyo", they realized they couldn't win. They were not Gu Meng and Xiao Zhi, who would be exhausted by using their current equipment and some extraordinary elements.

The workload of "Astro Robot 3" is nothing compared to the previous one. They have the same cartoon style as "Darkest Dungeon 3", which is actually somewhere between stealth games and traditional games, giving up a lot of immersion.

Dark Dungeon's optimization is pretty good. The single-player mode has a high degree of simulation and can still provide a certain immersive experience. Nintendo doesn't have any cheats, so it looks fake. Fortunately, the style is purely funny and light-hearted, which makes up for it a little. If they invest heavily in it for a long time, they might still be a rival.

Internal reviews for Ghost of Tokyo were not favorable. If it were a few years ago and they had never played a stealth game, it would have been fine, but now players and reviewers have become spoiled.

The pure technology of "Star Wars" is the most mature among the three major projects, or it can be said that it competes with "Ford" for the position of the best technology, and unlike "Ford", it does not have Lupa blocking the way and has no peers.

Although it is a gun game, the background of it is different from Youxuan’s masterpiece.

The key point is that "Captain China", which is also a gun game, caused a huge public opinion storm at the time. It was only popular in China and had only a small number of fans abroad, but it did not go beyond the circle.

Some people don’t want to buy “Captain China” after watching the anchor play it. There are so many games released by Gu Meng, so there are still choices.

They might instinctively support "Star Wars: Rise of the Stars," which has been rumored for several years—if it doesn't disgust players.

The four development masters all nodded in agreement with Yoshino, and then they saw Fujiwara Osamu, the executive in charge of publicity and promotion, clenching his pen.

This man, who is always known for his calmness, is now staring at the dry landscape bonsai in the corner of the conference room in a trance - the fine white sand is blown into ripples by the air conditioning, just like the turbulent eyes behind his glasses.

This person is the son-in-law of the previous president. Japanese companies will have some settings such as son-in-law successors.

Then large companies are inevitably involved in some issues of rebellion and power disputes.

Yoshinoya eventually seized power in Renni, but failed to defeat the Fujiwara family, and the board of directors did not completely change its mind.

"Fujiwara-san?" Yoshino's voice made everyone turn their heads.

"Excuse me." Fujiwara suddenly stood up. "I don't agree with this plan. I think we should launch all the escort games at the same time, weakening the publicity and promotion resources of "Star Wars". If we can't immediately gain momentum, we should fully cooperate with Youxuan..."

Frankly speaking, he felt that "Star Wars: Assault RPG" would definitely die because it was too ugly and too advanced, and players might not accept something so equal and correct.

And I think the publicity and promotion will be blamed because the false propaganda poster girl is not the protagonist, and not even a girl.

It's clearly not his responsibility. If he really was a Yoshinoya subordinate, he would definitely have to take the blame, but the key is that he is not.

This must not be stuck, and I must refute it now.

It's not that he thinks this plan is beneficial to him. In fact, the simultaneous launch of the escort masterpiece and the continuation of the previous strategy and the subsequent cooperation with Youxuan are in themselves contradictory and a bit fanciful. However, the problem is not whether the plan is good or not, but that he is clearly opposed to it.

Opposition is more important than solution.

For Rennie, it was just a plain and ordinary daily internal struggle.

Because internal conflicts have not been completely resolved since Yoshino came to power, such conflicts are very common.

In front of people and behind their backs, at home and abroad, Yoshino itself is very strong in internal fighting. It has made brilliant achievements in the past Heisei era and has a good reputation, so it can control the situation.

Otherwise, there may be quarrels or even face-to-face fights during meetings.

Gu Meng didn't know that he had traveled through time. If he had been in his previous life, he would have seen that person arguing with Ze Lian, and it would have been like a meeting of pure Japanese social people.

The gangs on the left reported back, while the boss's men on the right fired fiercely.

They are even worse than the Japanese social people, because their boss should not get involved in quarrels according to reason.

The world is one huge makeshift team.

……

At the end of the meeting, because a plan had to be produced, Yoshino still forced the plan through, but he found someone else to take the blame.

He was a little unsure, but because Meng Juju had contacted him many times and the North American branch had made a solemn promise, he thought of Rennie's advantages and felt that it was not impossible to win.

Yoshino is old.

It's normal that Brother Da Ri believes in Meng Ju Ju's nonsense.

"Then it's decided. We'll focus on "Star Wars" first. The minimum goal is to complete "Darkest Dungeon 3."

"Darkest Dungeon 3 isn't a very strong title among Gu Sang's series, and it's clearly the worst among the stealth games he spearheaded. It's even inferior to Dragon Snake Romance, a stealth game he almost single-handedly created. That game's level of realism wasn't high to begin with."

"In terms of time, this is also the shortest stealth game he's led. Although we touted it as a masterpiece, it's essentially a medium-sized game crammed with a lot of content. Gu Sang is currently at a low point in the stealth game field, so we can win."

"How's Black Myth?"

"There is no further news yet, but at least we don't have to worry about it this year."

"It's in production now, haha, I don't think there's any need to worry, it won't be out until next year"

"I didn't expect that Gu Meng also has normal working hours. Isn't he the fastest man in the gaming world?"

"Everyone has creative peaks and troughs, and you can't just calculate it this way. Gu Sang is still at his creative peak when it comes to ordinary games."
