Chapter 541: We also do zombie games

"President, Capcom refused our request to purchase the Resident Evil series of games. They said that unless we give 3 million copies of the guaranteed sales, we will also give half of the advance payment, and subsequent games will not be handed over. We sell it exclusively."
On the phone, Matsuda Shiji's tone was a bit depressed. Capcom was also the world's top game manufacturer, and it started out as a street fighter.
Later, Rockman, Onimusha, etc. were also very popular. And their Resident Evil series is selling well all over the world and has a high reputation.
Zhiduoxing certainly hopes to have more popular games on its own gaming platform, especially this kind of games can really drive console sales.
Initially, Capcom had agreements with Schneider and Sega Bandai. At first, it was licensed to Sega Bandai for sale on Saturn. Later, Schneider signed an agreement with better conditions.
Chang Ni also does not require a complete exclusive buyout, but a certain period of exclusive rights to issue. Relying on this game, Chang Ni's Ps game console did not sell at first.
This is also a sloppy routine. It seems that it is not an exclusive buy-out, so the price is lower. In fact, many people play the game to be new, and they can’t help buying it at the beginning of the game.
Later, when the second game arrived, Capcom also saw through the routine of the Nikki, so the exclusive release period was shortened, and because Uranus of Sega Bandai was first released, the Nikki was actually the second one. You can also play this game on Nintendo's NGC.
Capcom took the initiative back and gained more profits. It was only when they developed the third part that they were in trouble.
劦尼 developed Ps2, and they are developed according to the Ps1 platform, so the performance of the game has declined. The reputation of the game has declined, but fortunately their PC version is selling well.
At this time, the industry's number one game console manufacturer wanted to buy their series of games, and Capcom also offered a high price. They know that Zhiduoxing is competing with several other game console manufacturers, and their Resident Evil series games have many loyal game fans.
So Capcom sells for the price and thinks that Zhiduoxing will either agree to their terms or that companies such as Johnny will increase the terms for them.
In fact, their fourth game is already under development, which is based on the Ps2 platform, so to change the platform, they have to pay a lot of research and development costs.
It's just that their asking price is too high, Matsuda Shiji calculated it, and it will definitely lose money. Unless the follow-up games can be sold, they have to give them exclusive distribution rights.
Conditions were not discussed, Matsuda Shiji felt a little frustrated, hurried to call the president to report, and expressed apology.
"It doesn't matter, isn't it a zombie game? It's scary. It makes people feel nervous when playing. The design is also average. It's not worth mentioning. The plot is good."
"Well, we can develop a zombie game by ourselves, let them see it, and not sell it to us, it is their loss!"
The Zhiduoxing headquarters is divided into several game development teams, all of which have projects in their hands, and the island country, there are also new projects at this time, developing some new cultivating and collecting games, as well as some special markets. The 18's game.
Zhang Yang called Li Junsheng: "Junsheng, one person is selected from each group. We want to develop a new zombie game, a strategy game."
Li Junsheng thought for a while: "President, the zombies are now mainly shooting games, and there are some escape games, strategy games, are these characteristics combined?"
"No, our game is different from traditional zombie games. What we want is not horror, but cute."
Li Junsheng thought that he had misheard, and the zombie game became cute. Can someone like it? Is the contrast too great?
"I said, you write it down. First, classify zombies. They are divided into ordinary zombies, zombies with defense tools, zombies with special skills, etc."
"Different zombies can resist different levels of damage. To a certain degree, the zombies will die. The zombies can bring some protective gear, such as rugby protective gear, etc. There can even be a corpse king, which can summon other zombies. ."
"We designed the game as a defensive strategy game. The zombies are responsible for the offense, and the player controls some plants to defend."
"Wait a minute." Li Junsheng's writing pen paused. "President, what defense did you just say? Plants?"
"Yes, use plants. Some plants can launch some offensive things and hit zombies. For example, peas can be sprayed with peas to attack, watermelon vines can hit watermelons, etc."
"We use different plants to make different attack weapons. While defending, we can kill zombies. The location of the defense can be set as our own home. The zombies can attack through all angles, either in the front yard or in the back. The pond can be a roof."
"It can be in the daytime, in the night, even in foggy weather, etc. On our China side, there are legends of zombies, similar to zombies."
"Zombies are generally afraid of sunlight, so we collect sunlight as a currency for buying plants. The more sunlight, the more kinds of plants you can buy, and the stronger your resistance."
"What can produce sunlight, just choose sunflowers, this has always been sunny. But at night, you can get some mushrooms or something, isn't the mushroom like to be dark, let's design a sunshine mushroom."
"When the zombie enters the house, the owner of the house is killed and the game fails. The number of zombie attacks is limited. When all rounds are completed, this game is completed~EbookFREE.me~ Zombie When it comes to the plant, it will eat the plant by eating it. You can design some products to protect the plant. The plant not only provides sunlight and attack, but also can be used for defense and to block the attack of the zombies."
"If you encounter some particularly powerful zombies, you can design some powerful plant weapons. For example, the melons that can kill the zombies, such as the cherries that can kill the zombies, or the peppers that burn the zombies."
Li Junsheng's hands are shaking, what the president said. How can cherries explode? Chili will give people a hot feeling, but it will not burn.
Zhang Yang spoke for almost half an hour, while talking, discussing with Li Junsheng, or answering some questions raised by Li Junsheng.
"Okay, let's do this first. Let me see a simple version, and then consider how to upgrade to increase the difficulty."
"President, what's the name of this game? Guarding the yard? Zombie siege?"
"No no no, the name of the game, of course, it must be simple and straightforward, it is called the Plants vs. Zombies!"
