Chapter 179 is like this, I made an IP

“Jie is so handsome!” Yinzi opened his mouth and kept mumbling.

 He watched the entire promotional video over and over again, applauding it every time.

 “Pre-order, pre-order!” He clicked directly to pay, so that he could download the game in advance and enter the game in advance after it is officially released.

“This is probably the lightest game I’ve ever played! Just looking at the screen, I feel like the characters move very quickly.” Tuanzi felt the smoothness of a samurai just by looking at the flying hook.

"Is there no skin? One piece of clothing from beginning to end?" Sister Zhou immediately discovered the beauty.

“Hey, those game companies have lost their mentality. What’s the promise of not killing people without knees? Even jumping is difficult, and now you actually use a hook?” The prostitute teacher was so happy.

 …

 Looking at the sudden hook, the player was also dumbfounded.

‘I don’t know why, I feel uncomfortable when I see other game companies copying other games, but when I see them copying Souls, the more similar they are, the more excited I feel. ’

 ‘It has a hook, can jump, and can swim. Other game manufacturers: Huh? ’

　　‘Whatever, you can do it without knees. The more you look like me, the more excited you will be. The old thief can no longer satisfy me. ’

　　‘What is your attribute? Tell me in detail? ’

 …

 The moment the promotional video ended, the number of pre-orders for the game reached tens of millions.

"Only the old thief has such appeal..." Ivan, the executive officer of Xbox, smacked his lips. Outsiders think that the old thief is scary. The game has such a large number of downloads. Insiders feel that the old thief has reached the level of a monster. situation.

As players have said, the more similar the imitation of some Souls-based games are, the more excited the players will be.

They won’t blame you for studying, they will blame you for not imitating well enough.

Beside him sat the person in charge of Sony. After watching the promotional video, the other person could only cry and laugh endlessly.

If outsiders saw it, they would be shocked, because the two may not have any hatred, but they belong to different camps.

“You don’t need to look, I have been scolded by the people now.” Hirai Haruki, the head of Sony, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

 Because the people of Neon thought that he had missed such a genius, Weisoft had the capital to shake Sony's status, and Sony's status in the gaming circle went from bad to worse.

Especially after the promotional video of "Sekiro" came out, the people of Neon were even more outraged because such a game full of Japanese elements was actually made by a designer from Daxia.

“How about you help me ask the old thief to authorize a few of our games to be put on the shelves?” Hirai Haruki sighed uncomfortably.

This is the purpose of his coming to see Aiwen this time, hoping to get authorization for several games.

 Even he may not want the profit from the game, he just wants partial licensing.

"I can't make this decision for the old thief. Maybe you can talk to him about it yourself?" Ivan shook his head.

 Of course he can distinguish priorities. Although he is an executive officer, he is still a bird.

"We contacted the old thief at the beginning..." Hirai Haruki said in a somewhat resentful tone, "The initial contact person was a bit arrogant. At that time, Sony's status in the gaming industry was too high. They were also wrong. They thought they had issued a If you invite us, game manufacturers will be able to catch up with you."

 When they contact the old thief now, they are often told that the old thief’s schedule is full and there is no suitable time to meet.

 If this were not the case, he would not come to Ai Wen.

 It is extremely uncomfortable to bow down in front of your former competitors.

"Okay, I'll ask for you...but I can't guarantee the result." Ivan said and picked up the phone.

"If the conditions are good, he should agree." Ivan warned the other party before the call was connected.

Haruki Hirai nodded, "Thank you..."

"It's just that I don't understand why you would choose to help me..." Haruki Hirai didn't understand that the current coercion could completely trample Sonny under his feet.

 Establish the status of your own host in one fell swoop.

"Because... I really don't have any opponents now, and I'm a little lonely." As soon as Ivan finished speaking, the call was connected.

They no longer need anything like stepping on their opponents to establish their position in one fell swoop.

 The first thing that Weisoft was bad about was nothing more than high-quality games.

 Now it has games and old thieves.

ˆ Retaining competitors is also a kind of comparison and growth, and it also allows people to know that they are indeed the best.

  Sometimes, competition does not mean monopoly.

WeSoft is willing to spend money to hit the market, and is also willing to spend money to upgrade its own console, so how can it still lose?

He learned a word in Daxia, which is to cut the grass and root out the roots.

 But now he feels that the reason for eradicating the roots is simply because he is not strong enough, and simply does not guard himself and then is surpassed by his opponents.

 Keeping Soni is also a warning to oneself.

If one day, the old thief really makes the move to leave Weisoft, it must be that Weisoft has done something wrong in some way.

“Old thief, congratulations, the response to the new game has been great!” Ai Wen dialed Ye Feng’s number.

“The fun is yet to come. You’ll know when it’s officially released.” Ye Feng smiled mysteriously. He said that players would be able to break through their defenses. He always does what he says.

“Then I’m really looking forward to it. What do you think I’ll switch my career to selling keyboards?” Ivan couldn’t help but joke.

Haruki Hirai was waiting quietly to watch them chatting, and he was not in a hurry.

“By the way, if possible, I hope to make a handheld console. Do you have any ideas?”

"Ah? Yes! Of course there is, but let's talk about it later. I actually had other things to call you today." Ivan immediately changed the subject. The people from Sony are still here.

He is not afraid of anything. He is mainly afraid that the other party will be even sadder and more desperate after hearing this.

"Um?"

 Soon, Aiwen conveyed Sony's intention to Ye Feng, and also expressed the other party's hope of synchronously connecting games.

"That's fine. You have no problem and I have no problem. I'm really short of money recently." Ye Feng replied quickly.

He is not a rebel, so he will not take the initiative to cooperate with Sony.

 But if even Weisoft has no problem, he doesn't mind an extra income.

 After all, Sony also has many loyal players.

 “Lack of money? Many projects?” Ivan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The old thief's income flow cannot escape the coercive financial report. This man who can obviously enjoy happiness with money, now actually says that he is short of money?

 The only explanation is that he has projects, big projects, or many projects.

 No matter how much money he makes, he can't stop burning money.

"Actually, it's okay. After this period of time, you will get better completely." Ye Feng said it didn't matter, he just didn't want to be slowed down by money.

 “What did you do?” Alvin was completely confused.

 What will happen during this time?

“I made an IP, the effect should be okay.”

ah?

Ai Wen was shocked. What kind of IP can make big money-burning investors shout that they will not be short of money in the future?

"You ask the people from Sony to come to me during this time and sign a contract." Ye Feng did not say any more.

After hanging up the phone, Alvin took a deep breath and looked at Sonny, his eyes full of sympathy, "Fortunately you came early..."

 “If you come a little late, you may be really late...”
