Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 380: Add Money

Infiltration, sniping, CQB, defensive battles...

These are the many elents of FPS gas.

Judging by the current shooter ga market, it seems each of these elents alone could be developed into an independent ga.

And if you add in plot arrangents and cinematic shots like explosions, combat, and escapes.

Undoubtedly, such a well-crafted single-player ga would generate significant discussion in the player market.

But!

Now!

There's a ga that integrates every thrilling elent you can imagine from shooter gas into a single level of one work!

In a world where overall ga creativity is lacking, no one knows exactly what kind of sensation this will cause.

At least!

Before the "twin-sniper mories" level was released, no one knew.

And now.

With the announcent of the "twin-sniper mories" level!

Everything seems to have an answer.

【Unbelievable! Imrsed in Chernobyl, it's hard to escape that tense imrsion! At this mont, you feel like the protagonist of a military thriller, becoming the infallible main hero amidst overwhelming enemy assaults!】

— SLGars Tweet

【Absolutely true! The tight, intricate story arrangent perfectly complents the global crisis backdrop! Just as Sam said, the quality displayed in the opening of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy indeed surpasses the peaks previously created by Golden Wind's shooter gas!】

— Player Campfire Short Review

【Records are ant to be broken! You can't help but acknowledge this as another great milestone in global shooter gas! Golden Wind has surpassed itself, and even surpassed the industry myth created by Titanfall! Imrsive engagent and unprecedented industrial standards - Huaguo gas are catching up internationally at an unstoppable pace!】

— SNG Editor-in-Chief Simon

"You see, President Walker, with the current flourishing diversity in the gaming industry, the entire sector is rapidly developing upward, the market keeps expanding, and to be honest with you, as ga companies, we're making huge profits..."

Yes, with the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's most comprehensive classic campaign - twin-sniper mories!

The rich content and intense, varied thrilling rhythm imdiately caused tremors throughout the ga review industry!

Although at this point, the ga hasn't been on sale for even 24 hours, and most players and even ga review dia haven't completed it yet, unable to publish formal ga reviews.

But judging by the quality the ga has currently displayed!

Undoubtedly, Call of Duty truly is, as they claid at the Higashitsu Gaming Festival, a work that once again revolutionizes the global FPS production standards!

Although formal reviews haven't been published yet, and the final ga scores haven't been announced.

But!

Various review dia's official tweets and well-known dia reviewers have already given extrely high praise to Call of Duty in their tweets!

And now!

CloudPower Ga Group President Barber Konik is using these reviews as conversation starters to approach Phantom Dream Ga Engine's Chief Executive Officer—Carter Walker.

As one of the world's largest engine supply groups currently, Phantom Dream Group's two engines—"Phantom Dream 5" and "Fantasy 3"—occupy 45% of the global motion-sensing pod ga developnt engine market share and 38% of other platform ga engine market share.

Yes.

Since motion-sensing pod gas require neuron interfacing, the engines used for developing motion-sensing pod gas differ from those used for developing other gas.

The "Fantasy" series is essentially equivalent to conventional engines, similar to Unreal, Frostbite, Unity, etc. from Gu Sheng's previous life.

As for the "Phantom Dream" series, they are ga engines specifically designed for developing motion-sensing pod gas.

Among the many engine suppliers, globally, the currently largest market share and most advanced engine cos from Phantom Dream Group.

If gas are processed and manufactured toys, then engines are the complete production lines.

Currently, 45% of global motion-sensing pod gas are all produced from the "Phantom Dream" production line.

"...If at this ti, your company slightly modifies its charging model, even just raising it a little bit, I believe it would be a qualitative leap for Phantom Dream."

Konik said.

As the leader of such a company, Walker was quite familiar with Konik, even very familiar.

After all, one is the world's largest engine supplier, the other is the world's largest comprehensive ga group.

Their cooperation has always been close, and CloudPower has consistently been Phantom Dream's biggest benefactor.

After all, as a comprehensive manufacturer, CloudPower doesn't just develop motion-sensing pod gas; they develop plenty of gas for other platforms each year too.

That ans CloudPower is not only the largest user group of Phantom Dream Company's "Phantom Dream 5" engine, but also the largest user of "Fantasy 3."

According to Phantom Dream Company's current charging standards—

Gas developed with "Fantasy 3" that exceed $100,000 in annual revenue need to purchase the enhanced version at $40 per month; if exceeding $200,000 annual revenue, they need to purchase the PRO version at $150 monthly, $1,800 annually.

Gas developed with "Phantom Dream 5" that exceed $1 million in total revenue need to pay 5% licensing fees, or directly purchase a one-ti license for $2 million at the start of ga developnt.

Undoubtedly, the larger the company like CloudPower, the bigger benefactors they are for their engines.

Looking at Phantom Dream Group's complete charging model for their engines, it's quite comprehensive.

From low to high prices, the pricing customization for large, dium, and small ga developnt companies or teams is relatively reasonable.

But now!

Just as Konik said.

With the warming up of motion-sensing pods in recent years and the continuous expansion of the global ga market.

Recently, Walker has indeed been considering whether to appropriately adjust the engine licensing prices,

Such as raising the monthly fees for "Fantasy" and appropriately adjusting the licensing fees for "Phantom Dream."

It could be said that Konik's call hit right at Walker's thoughts.

After a brief contemplation, Walker chuckled and asked:

"So Mr. Konik's aning is...?"

Since Konik's first words on the call ntioned discussing a "win-win" deal with him,

Then he must have co with his own cooperation proposal.

Hearing this, Konik laughed heartily and said:

"As everyone knows, looking at the current global ga market,"

"Except for companies like Neon's Kora, Germanic FoxForce, and Eastern Europe's Aurora that have independently explored for a long ti with deep foundations, capable of using self-developed engines for so gas,"

"Most ga companies rely entirely on the ga developnt fraworks provided by engine suppliers like your company to produce and release gas,"

"And among these, include the vast majority of Huaguo ga companies."

At this point, Konik paused.

And Walker's heart stirred.

Indeed.

Just as Konik said.

For so many years, Huaguo as one of the world's largest ga sales markets, while its dostic purchasing power ranks among the world's top,

Its overall ga industry developnt level has always been unsatisfactory, even worse than Eastern Europe.

It's only in the last two or three years, under the leadership of a ga pioneer called "Golden Wind," that Huaguo's overall ga production level has significantly improved, beginning to step onto the world stage and compete with traditional giants.

"Now with Huaguo's ga industry gradually rising, and the global ga industry improving daily,"

Konik continued:

"This is not only an expansion of the ga market, but also an expansion for the ga manufacturing industry,"

"For your company, the cake has gotten bigger, so the fork for dividing the cake should naturally be bigger too, isn't that right?"

Hmm—

What Konik said certainly makes sense.

It seems like he's considering Phantom Dream's interests everywhere.

But as they say, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Konik's active encouragent for him to raise licensing fees must have his fundantal comrcial purposes.

"Let's speak frankly, Mr. Konik,"

After contemplating for a mont, Walker said:

"The policy of raising licensing fees, we can implent it anyti, but the question is, what benefits does this approach bring us? I an additional benefits?"

Walker certainly knows such price increases would boost their overall revenue.

But the question is, what's the advantage of doing this?

Upon hearing this!

Konik on the other end of the phone chuckled: "The additional benefit is...

Phantom Dream will gain exclusive support from the two strongest comprehensive ga manufacturers in the Eastern and Western hemispheres."

That's right!

Now, with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the failure of Kora's developed Night Owl Island is only a matter of ti.

Even now, Kora has already begun monitoring their current President Uekoe Kagemasa to prevent him from escaping at this opportunity.

According to the current situation, once Night Owl Island's first-week sales figures co out, the board of shareholders led by Director Ito and related investors and interest groups will launch impeachnt attacks against Uekoe Kagemasa, then support Seiichi Nakamura's rise to power, quickly taking control of Kora with lightning speed.

And Ito Suke is secretly supported by Vivendi.

That ans.

Currently, there's about one week buffer ti until Vivendi controls the two gaming giants of the Eastern and Western hemispheres.

And when the plan is perfectly implented, Vivendi will beco the actual controller of the world's two largest comprehensive ga manufacturers.

And at that ti!

If the three parties unite and designate "Phantom Dream 5" as the exclusive developnt engine.

For Phantom Dream, this would undoubtedly be an opportunity to significantly increase their market share!

Currently, although Phantom Dream 5's market share is as high as 45%, it still hasn't reached "monopoly" level.

But if they can gain support from global consortia like CloudPower, Kora, and even Vivendi, once their market share exceeds 60%!

The inco comparable to monopoly-level funds would be astronomical.

And as the price!

They would need to give the two major manufacturers extra preferential treatnt while raising prices.

And provide additional "care" for the increasingly rapidly developing Huaguo ga market that has already beco Konik's major concern.
