Chapter 567: Resident Evil Closed Beta: What Game Fans Expect
The testing of "Resident Evil" was very lively. The project leader listened carefully to the opinions of the testers, recorded their opinions carefully, and then went back to summarize these opinions and discuss them one by one.
"In addition to our testers, we'll also be launching an internal beta test with gamers. We'll select 500 hardcore gamers from around the world, and invite them to Qingyao Media to play Resident Evil and give us detailed feedback..."
In the conference room, the project leader convened another meeting. Everyone nodded in agreement at the leader's words.
This project was incredibly important to Qingyao Games. After all, it was their first AAA game, and they needed to deliver the best possible experience. Inviting 500 top-tier gamers from around the world to share their opinions was crucial for the company.
After all, they are the ones to whom this game will ultimately be sold, and if they say it’s fun, then it’s really fun.
In fact, if they wanted to save money, they could just send the game to these players and let them play it directly. However, the project team did not plan to do that. They wanted to invite everyone directly to Qingyao Media’s headquarters.
Although this costs more money, sometimes you gain more by spending more.
First, it can truly keep the game confidential and maintain a greater sense of mystery.
Secondly, this incident can be used to create a gimmick to promote the "Resident Evil" IP, making everyone more curious and expectant about the four words "Resident Evil".
Finally, the most important thing is to show everyone Qingyao Games' attitude. It's to show everyone Qingyao Games' sincerity in producing a 3A game. This will truly inspire countless domestic game fans to look forward to this game, as everyone knows Qingyao Media's prestigious reputation.
Recruiting 500 hardcore gamers from around the world for a single game beta test was something no other gaming company had ever done.
Now Qingyao Media has used it and reimbursed all expenses. After completing the test, there are also gifts. For many players, this is like a vacation.
"Everyone should be prepared. We must discuss the opinions given by the testers one by one. We will accept reasonable opinions, but we cannot ignore unreasonable opinions. Although the customer is God, God is not always right. After all, everyone has different preferences..."
The person in charge smiled, and everyone else laughed too. As game developers, we all know this principle. Quality is king, and everything is about quality.
The application was submitted very quickly, and Tang Qing also paid close attention to the news personally.
Seeing the application from the gaming department, Tang Qing also laughed.
Although it will cost more money, it is indeed a good publicity opportunity for the "Resident Evil" IP.
As for the cost, it wasn't as much as one might imagine. For 500 people, that was just round-trip airfare. As for food and lodging, Qingyao Media had more than enough dormitories, and the food in their cafeteria was excellent.
Air tickets for 500 people aren't that expensive. The cost of 500 people might be around 10 million. Compared to the production budget of "Resident Evil," this amount is a drop in the bucket.
The game "Resident Evil" alone has already burned through 700 million RMB. This is why many companies are reluctant to make 3A games. 3A games are simply too expensive.
700 million RMB, and Qingyao Media spent all this money. You can imagine how strong the quality of this game is.
The publicity department quickly took action, and Su Yang also received the news. Soon, Su Yang posted a message on various social media platforms.
"Heroes Calling! Qingyao Media's first AAA game, Resident Evil, is recruiting 500 game heroes worldwide. If you're a gamer, if you like games, if you're interested in this game..."
A call for heroes. The call was very detailed. A game company under Qingyao Media was recruiting 500 gamers from around the world to serve as testers for a game.
These individuals will travel to Huaxia Qingyao Media's headquarters, with Qingyao Media covering all travel expenses. Not only will the selected individuals be able to play the game, but Qingyao Media will also be providing them with premium gifts.
At the same time, after the test is completed, Qingyao Media will also arrange a tour group to take them to travel around China, including visiting panda bases to see pandas, climbing the Great Wall, etc.
In short, if you are selected, you can go to China to eat, drink and have fun without spending any money. This is simply a free trip, which is too tempting for many gamers.
"Wow, I want to sign up. I want to go to Huaxia. Can I meet Su..."
"Really? I'm going to sign up. I want to play this game..."
"I'm really looking forward to Qingyao Media's game..."
"Resident Evil, what a strange name..."
“Is this game fun?”
"I want to go to China to see giant pandas..."
"How do I sign up..."
"I'm a hardcore gamer, I want to sign up..."
Su Yang's social media accounts have a ton of fans, and most of them are young people, many of whom are gaming geeks.
So after seeing this news, countless game geeks took action. They directly flocked to the official website of Resident Evil announced by Su Yang to sign up.
Resident Evil has already created an official website, and this incident is a good opportunity to launch the first wave of game promotions.
After entering the official website, all the major game players immediately looked at it with curiosity. There is a lot of interesting information on the official website, and even a few CG animations.
After seeing these animations, many players are looking forward to this game. Apart from other things, the production level of these animations is very high, and it is completely the level of top blockbuster movies.
Gamers have no borders. In their minds, there are only two kinds of games: fun games and not fun games.
They like to play fun games, but they will criticize unfun games.
Now "Resident Evil" has launched a global campaign to recruit beta test players, which has directly led to the rapid spread of the game "Resident Evil" in the gaming circle.
A large number of gamers visited the official Resident Evil website, registered accounts, and submitted player applications. These applications required filling out a number of personal details, particularly regarding gaming experience, ideally with video or photo screenshots as proof. The recruitment requirements were clearly stated: the more gaming experience you have, the easier it is to be selected. In order to go to Huaxia, many people filled out their information truthfully.
