Some people even think that-

The Monster Hunter's design concept was proposed very early, and it was already in 2001. Putting aside the game experience, the design concept is still very advanced.

What's more, the Monster Hunter's own style is that it takes into account Western tastes and makes certain compromises and adjustments, which is not in line with the aesthetics of oriental people.

Therefore, although it is affected by a certain range of "Shan Hai Jing", compared with the products of the same period, the sales of Monster Hunter are still good.

Although there is no terrifying figure as 1.32 million yuan as "Shan Hai Jing" was sold in the island country, it has exceeded 130,000 units. The company must have made money back, but it is still unclear how far it can go in the future.

There has also been a situation on the Internet where the player camps of "Monster Hunter" and "Shan Hai Jing" cursed each other.

Players of Shanhai Jing said, "The garbage "Monster Hunter" and plagiarize the creativity of "Shanhai Jing" is not as good as others, and it is simply a shame for the Chinese people."

The Monster Hunter player weakly refuted, "Monster Hunter has launched a project very early. He had already proposed to be a Monster Hunter in 2001, right?

If you really want to say plagiarism, you are also the monster hunter copied by "Shan Hai Jing".

"Haha, Shanhai Jing copied the monster hunter, but don't call Shanhai Jing black. I don't know how many levels the game of Shanhai Jing is higher than that of Monster Hunter. Take the Internet as an example. I really don't know how to complain about the online effect of Monster Hunter. It's better to play stand-alone."

"Is that good enough for the Mountains and Seas? That... that game with such a weird world view is copied by ancient Chinese legends and has no creativity at all. At least the monsters in "Monster Hunter" were created by themselves, right?"

The picture is not as good as the "Shan Hai Jing", the technology is not as good as the Shan Hai Jing, and the networking effect is not as good as the Shan Hai Jing. Even the number and variety of monsters and the diversity of gameplay in the game, monster hunters are not as good as the Shan Hai Jing.

In the end, the players of the monster hunting couldn't find anything they could use to spray, and could only spray the world view of the mountains and seas.

...

The Monster Hunter production team is very uncomfortable.

In addition to the better sales on the first day, the monster's sales growth gradually declined after that. Fortunately, the final results were not satisfactory and could be sold for 130,000 copies, otherwise it would feel that the cost would not be recovered.

For Capcom, if a game cannot make money, it will lose its value.

At least so far, the above is willing to give the "Strange Hunter" team the opportunity to continue developing the next work.

"Who could have thought that suddenly a "Shan Hai Jing" came out?" Tanaka Takashi, the producer of the strange hunt, sighed.

He was also very depressed. If there were no Shanhai Jing, the sales of Monster Hunter would definitely be more than that.

In fact, Takura Tanaka's premonition was right. In the history of his previous life, the first generation of Monster Hunter won a large number of loyal fans with its original monster ecosystem and unique way of fighting giant monsters. The sales of the first generation reached 280,000 copies.

At that time, it was precisely because of the 280,000 sales of the first generation that the 7 million sets of the later Monster Hunter: World were created.

But now the course of history has changed. Due to Cao Yang's arrival, the "Shan Hai Jing" that should not have appeared in history emerged, which directly disrupted their plans.

This is no different from Cheng Yaojin's attack.

Tanaka Takashi was also very unfair. It was not because they were not strong enough or did not do well enough, but because the monster "Shan Hai Jing" appeared in the middle.

"There is no way, we can only hope for the next product." Tanaka Takashi told others.

In fact, the most uncomfortable thing is not the sales issue.

The most uncomfortable thing is the copyright issue.

If there were no Mountains and Seas, Monster Hunter would be a world-class IP.

If the next "Monster Hunter" cannot make its own characteristics, it will be shrouded in the shadow of "Shan Hai Jing" for the rest of your life.

This is the most terrible thing.

...

It can be said that Boss Cao's move was too cruel and was called killing directly.

The design of "Shan Hai Jing" has been iterated for more than ten years. The monster hunter team wants to get out of this shackles, make a difference from "Shan Hai Jing", and be outstanding, and at the same time ensure their own game experience. It is really difficult to climb to the sky.

So Tanaka feels that for a long time in the future, they will live in the shadow of "Shan Hai Jing", which comes from the sensitive intuition of a gamer.

Maybe this is true in the future.

After the release of "Monster Hunter", some employees of Bomi Company got a PS2 from somewhere.

They also sent the game videos recorded by others to their colleagues for evaluation.

After reading it, everyone basically had the same expression as Tanaka Takashi, and they were filled with shock.

"Damn it! This Monster Hunter is so similar to our "Shan Hai Jing"?"

"It's more than just like it, it's exactly the same."

"But we still do better than them."

"That's, otherwise how could Monster Hunter's sales in the island country be less than a fraction of ours?"

"Why would you say that Boss Cao is a god? Brother Li said that when he followed his boss to discuss the establishment of the Shanhai Jing project, the boss proposed to use Shanhai Jing to make such a game of humans fighting monsters. Brother Li was shocked and could not sleep all night after he went back at night."

"Hahaha, I can't sleep either because of me. I'm so excited to think about it. I tell you that my hands are trembling until now."

"Yes, it's a good thing that we did a good job of the game and successfully opened up the situation. Otherwise... we probably won't be able to sleep well now."

"Mom!"

It was at this moment that a girl from Shanhaijing planned to cover her mouth in horror.

Others turned their heads one after another.

The girl blushed with embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, I've overreacted a little, I mean-

If our game was not first launched in February, would the situation be completely different later?”

"Damn!"

Everyone was startled by her words.

"Yes, if the monster hunter first came before us, I don't know how many players would say we were copying."

When Li Lanyun heard the employees' opinions, she frowned slightly.

Boss Cao is too awesome, right?

No wonder he insisted on launching before the beginning of this year, and probably had already learned from some channels that Monster Hunter will be released.

Fortunately, the boss is wise, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss now!

...

At the same time, in the boss's office, Zhuang Yurou looked at the comments online and turned her head to Cao Yang and said:

"Boss, this game called Monster Hunter is too similar to our experience, right?"

Cao Yang curled his lips and said nothing.

How can it not be like this?

All creativity comes from the future Monster Hunter

It was at this moment that the little secretary said something faintly, which scared Cao Yang-

"It's not that they copied us, are they? Otherwise, let the colleagues from the legal department sue them?"

"Puff..." Cao Yang almost sprayed a mouthful of water on the monitor.

"Stop causing these troubles. We are completely different games, and we can only say that everyone's heroes have the same views."

"Hmm? Oh."

Since the boss is calm, Zhuang Yurou has nothing to say.

"However," Cao Yang smiled with a cup of water and pursed his lips, "If the monster hunter sues us for infringement, we can sue it in reverse, which is still feasible."
Chapter completed!
