I really don't want to fight with gods

Chapter 972 Prophecy of the Son of the Plane
The appearance of Souni PS game console at the North American International Consumer Electronics Show is too amazing!
Extraordinary appearance, changing the cheap feeling of plastic shells in this era of game consoles, the frosted silver-gray alloy shell is exquisite and cold, and the ultra-thin body is like a later DVD player. It is placed next to the TV when it is placed flat or upright. of a work of art.

This is also the place where Souni admires Robert the most. No one thought of using the thin and light technology used as a laptop to make a game console, eliminating all unnecessary space inside, and forming such an appearance that surpasses all peers.

It is indeed in line with Souni's most advertised concept of artists leading engineers.

Because only artists can grasp the sensitive points that are difficult for ordinary people to find in the rapidly changing market and technological progress.

For example, with the improvement of electronic equipment hardware, everyone knows that 3D games will definitely appear on the stage. It was impossible to do it before, but now it is possible and it will definitely evolve in this direction.

Well, here comes the simplest and most basic question, how to evolve?

How to play 3D games with existing game controllers?

All handles on the market, regardless of whether they are joysticks, cross keys, or even eight-direction keys, are essentially flat. In the 3D world, what about pitching up and down besides front, back, left, and right?
Just this one question can make all developers entangled and hesitant.

Nintendo and Sega, the two game giants, managed to kill all over the world, causing blood to flow everywhere, and smashing all kinds of Citigroup and European game console companies.

Two completely different counterparts are employed on this problem.

If Sega chooses, we will make another 2D game console. We hope that the 3D era will not come so soon. We can find some quick money and accumulate technology at the same time. In 92, we launched the Saturn game console. It sold hundreds of thousands and felt like I have the world!
Nintendo is focusing on developing a brand new handle. They decided to add a center joystick to the cross key, but this means that it will greatly change the operating habits of gamers. This is a big taboo in the game industry. It may make users resist, and then the product line collapses completely.

So Nintendo chose to wait and see Sega's market reaction.

Besides, didn’t Nintendo cooperate with Ken Kuragi and the others before overturning the agreement? Suony’s technology is CD, and Nintendo’s advantage is the game content, so Nintendo, who turned around and cooperated with Philip on CD, is not in a hurry. They know what Ken Kuragi does. There is no tendency to 3D at all.

So Jing Xiaoqiang was born out of nowhere, a popcorn really changed the course.

He used to play the version above PS3. At that time, the controller had already taken for granted the cross key + double joystick + AB key.

But when they proposed this plan, Ken Kuragi and the others said that it is still impossible to do it. This is a huge increase in the number of channels, and the two joysticks have to have the function of shaking and pressing, let alone.

The calculation is not enough, all the calculation power is used for the screen.

Sega launched the Saturn last year, driving the current 2D games to use a combination of two main chips and a display chip!
The only 3D fighting game among them is very popular. The module is built like a slice of butter, and a single chest muscle can make several faces and corners.

See how Jing Xiaoqiang asked for pectoral muscles?
A cone will do...

But his chicken thief added a lot of cutscene "animations"...

Animated animations shot with Judy.

Use various sports car videos that can be found in real shots to change animations.

The effect, of course, is quack!

Then the animation was loaded crazily. Laura had to flash an animation when she climbed over the mountains and climbed over the wall, and the car flicked and turned.

It is easy for players to ignore the difference in image quality resolution and smoothness during the game, and these cutscenes are all in memory.

And who cares about modeling accuracy when playing, they are all attracted by the plot and nervously operate.

Just feel beautiful!
So big, so white, so trembling...

Can the 3D modeling like a butter corn man compare?
How does Jing Xiaoqiang solve the pitching problem? There are two keys on the front side of the gamepad that can be manipulated with the index finger!

In the past, all the game controllers used thumb as the main force, but the most flexible golden finger of human beings was empty. How unreasonable it is.

Now you only need to press the left and right index fingers to pitch, how simple and easy is it?
Thumb's operating habits have not changed.

With a little adaptation, you can move forward and lean forward when running.

Jing Xiaoqiang applied for a patent for this design!
his personal.

That is to say, all other game console handles need to be buttoned on the outer edge of the front. Sorry, this patent ownership will be triggered, and you can either use it for money or bypass it!

So after the release, players can easily get started.

The 3D game is exciting, the control problem is solved, and the appearance is beautiful. What else can stop the PS from selling well?

Not to mention the epoch-making bonus of an 8M memory card, you can save your progress at any time, and you can continue playing on any PS game console.

Isn't this the perfect cool point that every player cares about most?

The essence of GAME is still competition and competition.

In an era when there were no online games, game consoles were always limited by the fact that only two people could play at the same time.

Moreover, the limitations of flash memory technology also make game recording a very difficult thing.

You can take the record card to the game console of your friends and playmates to show off your great achievements, which is really cool!
So in the past two months, more than 800 million orders have been sold worldwide!

Even if the actual delivery is less than 100 million units!
But the orders are still rising crazily. It is easy to use, the picture is exquisite, and the price is not surprisingly expensive, so it is worth buying.

All dealers have already figured out this trick. First, they will make two or three prototypes and display them in the store. They will definitely not sell them if they play casually.

When players pick up the goods, they can't wait to have a pick-up ceremony that is well-known in the whole city!
Manufacturers engage in hunger sales with distributors, and merchants engage in hunger marketing with players. If there is no competitor to fight, the sales must be crazy!

Sega, whose sales suddenly died off a cliff, regretted it.

The new machine is too late, so I can only find a way on last year's Saturn game machine.

Only then did they realize how ruthless the patented game CD was controlled by Suony.

Jing Xiaoqiang can ask the game team to include a large number of CG animations on the disc, and the advantage of the 640M storage capacity of a disc is vividly reflected.

Saturn is a cassette, and the capacity of 32M and 64M is the limit.

This almost cheating 3D game mode cannot be used.

Moreover, playing 3D games puts a lot of pressure on Saturn's original hardware. Even if this product uses two chips, the memory is not enough, so I have to use a cassette to install the memory and plug it in.

Add-on accessories that are not in the design category at all are notoriously unreliable.

This also wants to increase the picture, but also requires frequent problems with the additional memory cassette.

The Saturn game console, which insisted on keeping up with the rhythm, was completely smashed by the PS game console!
Players who bought it regretted it, and those who didn't buy it would never touch it again. Anyway, as long as you have played PS games, you will hate the Saturn game console when you look back.

This was the case throughout September and October.

Sonny is excited to expand production with all his strength. The workshop of the Shanghai factory has already started production, and strives to form a monthly production capacity of 30 units by the end of the year. Taking advantage of the trend, it can also help reserve production capacity for laptops that will be launched during the Christmas season.

But in the past two days, Nintendo, which has been dormant for a long time, suddenly announced that the new machine will be officially launched in January next year, and it will be unveiled at the largest CES electronics show in Las Vegas.

It is obvious to tell game console players all over the world, don't rush to buy, good products are coming!
And not just talk, directly took out the prototype and a lot of games to show.

We also named this new product launch "True Dream", emphasizing that we are the most authentic and best dream bearer.

Well, in the game console industry, Nintendo is indeed the leader, which inevitably makes people look at their late-moving strikes, and it is easy to feel psychologically that they will definitely not be worse than Sunny...

What's more, Nintendo not only controls the most game manufacturers in the world, but also stated on the platform that it will not release the PS version, and will launch it together with Nintendo's new machine, and also controls the world's largest game magazine to promote this matter.

It is equivalent to controlling the right to speak in the game world.

Then it was very clear that from the local area of ​​Jiaopen to all over the world, the pre-order sales of PS game consoles were cut in half!

Consumers are starting to wait and see.

All the game console companies that climbed to the top for the first time were a little panicked. Ken Kuragi was urging various work to expand production capacity in Shanghai, and immediately flew to Citigroup to cheer for several largest distributors and deliver the latest batch of shipments to snatch market reputation.

Then various departments such as the R&D team and the game team went to the head of the department for support.

Just like a king going to war, everyone looks to the priest for spiritual support and provides strategic guidance for the next step.

That's the most important thing.

Engineers can only check for leaks and make up for gaps, and only artists can find their way out of the fog.

This is also the corporate purpose of Sunny.

Tianhai wore sunglasses and a mask, trying his best to conceal his body shape, silently watching so many high-level white-collar workers looking forward to Jing Xiaoqiang.

Some people are just that extraordinary.

Especially watching Jing Xiaoqiang begin to babble in disdain, staring at that mouth and fascinated.

Jing Xiaoqiang didn't just open his mouth, he carefully read the "True Dream" proposal and the latest issues of Nintendo Game Magazine.

And then you really look down on them all kinds of things, which makes you panic?
He also has never experienced the cruelty of business in the 90s.

Technological innovation under Moore's Law is very fast. If any manufacturer is not paying attention, regardless of how famous they are before, a product or a game that fails can be abandoned by the market in an instant.

Small companies may still have the possibility of lingering.

For a big company like Souni, Computer Entertainment Co., Ltd. is just a branch. Of course, it can get strong support when it develops, but if it fails, the head office group feels that there is no need to fight anymore.

So, amidst everyone's bending over and bowing and trembling, I watched Robert finish reading.

With a wicked smile: "Trust me, Nintendo will lose..."

Without Jing Xiaoqiang, this is the established result of history, and now with him, this process will only be accelerated.
