Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 614 518 The world is a huge pokeni

Good guy, even Square, a guy with big eyebrows and big eyes, has rebelled? !
Sony's Ken Kutaragi's face turned green with anger.

No wonder when he went to have dinner with Masashi Miyamoto and wanted to talk about the future development plans of Final Fantasy, Mr. Miyamoto was hesitant.

It turns out that I have already thought about where to publish the next game.

However, this seems to be no wonder Miyamoto Masashi. From a historical point of view, Square Enix is a company that is simply like Lu Bu, and whoever forces it will follow, whether it is Rentendo’s FC, Sega’s MD, or later Sony. Games have been released on PS.

I remember when Rentendo also believed that Square would never betray and would become their most steadfast teammate, Miyamoto Masashi couldn't stand Kutaragi Ken's tough words, and then agreed to put Final Fantasy 7 on PS.

This moment is just a reenactment of the scene.

Kutaragi regained his strength, but had nothing to say.

After all, everyone has been there before. Where is the so-called unbreakable friendship and unbreakable cooperative relationship in the business world?

It's nothing more than a bundle of interests. The failure to bind Square and Sony can only be his problem.

This also confirms the saying, "If you fall behind, you will be beaten."

Sometimes, a company like Square is just a weather vane, and whoever it invests in shows who is stronger.

In the end, what made Kutaragi Ken feel annoyed and angry was that Sony's technology lagged behind, and the PS2 was not able to be launched ahead of schedule. In addition, no one paid attention to the research and development of the game engine, and the digitalization process did not catch up...

In short, it is precisely the backwardness in technology and support for friendly businesses that has led to today's situation.

only……

Damn it, this change came too fast, didn’t it?

Kutaragi Ken thought to himself, it has only been more than a year, how come everything has changed all of a sudden?

Thinking about the transition from Rentiantian to Sony, didn't it also take two or three years?
Horrible, really terrible.

pokeni is terrible.

Not to mention Kutaragi Ken, other game developers also have similar expressions.

On Rentendo's side, Miyamoto Shigeru's expression was not much better than Kutaragi Ken's. He was frowning and his face was even shrouded in dark clouds.

And the name of this dark cloud is pokeni.

If you look up, you will find that there is no dark cloud here.

The world is a giant pokeni, and everyone is trapped inside.

If you want to break the situation, you can only thrive and become taller and more majestic than the world tree pokeni. Otherwise, you can only become a shadowed member under it.

However, it is not easy to grow stronger than pokeni?

Originally there was still some hope, if pokeni had not improved so quickly, but now Shigeru Miyamoto tilted his head and looked at Masashi Miyamoto talking on the stage, and there was a little more shadow in his heart.

I just feel that the possibility of overtaking pokeni in corners from a technical level like Sony did seems to be even lower.

……

Final Fantasy 9 has changed the two-dimensional 3D style of the previous game, which was more adult-oriented, and turned it into a Final Fantasy series that was more biased towards the 6th generation ago.

It is still a 3D game, but the head-to-body ratio of the characters has been greatly reduced, almost to two to one.

That is to say, it is a more Q version, and in the previous game Final Fantasy 8, the character image is more slender.

So this also led to the appearance of Final Fantasy 9, which gave people a not-so-elegant illusion.

But in fact, technology is definitely improving, especially since Square Enix's game development this time uses the world's most advanced 3D game engine pioneer.

The character details are obviously much richer. Although it is the Q version, the character's skin texture, clothing material and folds...the movements are delicate and realistic. These are improvements visible to the naked eye.

Especially when Square released the promotional video and a very spectacular [airship] appeared in the screen, there were countless praises from below.

The entire airship is suspended in the sky, like a silver star.

The boat body has smooth lines, like an elegant long dragon, freely shuttling in the blue sky.

The wood material not only has a certain sense of reality, but also has a very obvious Japanese animation feel. The 3D effect is particularly prominent, giving people the illusion of watching an animated movie.

No wonder the players exclaimed.

"Wow, isn't this airship too powerful?"

"Yes, it's so shocking. As soon as this scene came out, it instantly raised the game to several levels."

“Originally, I was a little angry about Square’s switch to pokeni. I thought the combination of Square and PS wasn’t a good one?
Now that I see the airship and game scenes coming out, I feel relieved.

It's me and I will choose pokeni, as long as it can make a better game and bring a more shocking experience to the players. "

“Yes, my original impression of pokeni was not that deep and outstanding, but this time the E3 electronics exhibition has strengthened it for me.

If it weren't for pokeni's technology, I'm afraid Final Fantasy 9 wouldn't be able to do this, right? "

"What is this called? There is no harm without comparison, especially the before and after comparison of our own products, which is really obvious.

The transition from Final Fantasy 8 to Final Fantasy 9 only took one year, but using different game development platforms and engines, the effects are really visible to the naked eye.

All I can say is that pokeni’s pioneer engine is too powerful. "

"How terrifying! Paradox's technology is simply unfathomable."

……

This year's E3 electronics exhibition can be said to be a fight between gods, especially Square's Final Fantasy, which is equivalent to the king of the RPG category and rivals Dragon Quest.

But with the technical support of pokeni, it now seems that Final Fantasy 9 is slightly better.

As soon as this game came out, it directly raised the atmosphere of the scene to the top, and everyone's enthusiasm was ignited.

Countless players stood up and cheered, and there was thunderous applause.

As a result, there is an invisible increase in pressure on the latecomer game manufacturers.

……

After Square Enix ended, everyone at the scene was still immersed in the images and displays of Final Fantasy 9, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

This puts too much pressure on latecomers.

It wasn't until EA came on stage that everyone's attention was attracted again.

EA first brought their traditional game every year: "Need for Speed 5"

The Need for Speed series can be regarded as a model worker in the game industry. There is almost one game a year without interruption. Even in the previous life, as of 2023, EA has developed more than 20 models of Need for Speed. Later, because the numbers were a bit too high, It was too big, so I named the game by adding a suffix:

For example, "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" and so on.

The current Need for Speed 5 still uses the Trailblazer engine developed by pokeni, which has improved the dynamic blur and dynamic light effects to a big level.

When Sony's "GT Racing 2001" came out, everyone was very optimistic about this game. To a certain extent, Sony's PS2 also gave players a shot in the arm with this game, at least giving everyone a chance to play. I have the initial impression that the PS2’s performance is pretty good.

However, the impression that was just established yesterday has now been torn to pieces by EA with the same racing game, so this fig leaf has disappeared.

"Wow, the texture of Need for Speed 5 is so great, I almost feel like I'm driving a real car in reality."

"If this kind of game continues, won't people be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality? I feel that after playing Need for Speed too much, it will be easy to lose control of the speed in reality and want to fly at any time."

"Hahaha, and EA's tracks are really made using real-world locations and transportation networks, which makes it even more confusing."

"No matter what, it only means that the game is really good, right?"

Kutaragi Ken covered the right side of his face and felt toothache.

The face was slapped hard.

The key is that EA really didn't give them any face at all. They just slapped them in the face the next day, and the speed of this slap in the face was too fast.

The players could not help but laugh from the audience.

"It's so funny. Yesterday Sony announced GT2001 on stage, and today EA responded with Need for Speed 5. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm.

In this comparison, GT2001 was immediately compared. "

"Yeah. Yesterday, I thought Sony's PS2 was really awesome. It could make the textures and backgrounds of racing cars so good. But when I compared it with Need for Speed today, I realized that I still have too little experience.

This is called a racing game, right? "

……

What makes the tooth hurt even more is——

EA still uses the POKENI game engine.

What’s more, it’s pokeni!

Why is it always you? ! …

After showing Need for Speed 5, another game brought by EA has a bit of spirituality.

The name of this game is "The Sims"

The game structure of The Sims was definitely unique in 2000. You can spend your whole life in the game, what kind of clothes you wear, what kind of work you do, get married and have children, develop your own talents, and cook delicious food. You can still play the piano, or even become a star. Everything is under the control of the player, because this is the second life of the player.

As soon as EA's "The Sims" came out, the eyes of the players below shone. Everyone was deeply attracted by the novel mode and gameplay of this game.

Especially since this is Los Angeles, the story background and character settings told by The Sims are actually closer to the West. To be precise, they represent the American lifestyle. Many players from the East, especially Neon and China, may lack it. There is a sense of immersion, but most of the people present are American players and reporters, and their perception of this game will be particularly profound.

They will smile knowingly when they see many game scenes, life content, characters, and various props in the game that are similar to their own but slightly exaggerated.

Very immersive and relatable.

For Chinese players, similar games like "Chinese Parent" and "100 Days of Love in the College Entrance Examination" will be more immersive. "Cultivation Simulator" is even more interesting to Chinese players, and it is the only one. of.

Foreign players have little resonance with cultivating immortals, and their feelings will be somewhat weakened.

"What an interesting game, just like my dream game." An American player sighed.

"Yeah, it's really the same as my life. It's so interesting. If you can experience a person's life in the game, make friends, get married and have children, have gatherings with friends, decorate a new home, etc...

Wow, it’s like bringing a dream that cannot be realized in reality into a game. "

"It's great. I have to say that EA is really good at being able to make such a game. It would be great if there were more similar games in the future."

"..."

When Qing Zhiyuan saw the game "The Sims", he slapped his thigh with hatred and looked extremely remorseful.

Damn it, how did I miss this game?

It's really a pity that we couldn't make a similar simulation game before EA.

The Sims series is also the most famous game IP in the world, and it is extremely popular.

P Club is fully capable of reproducing it, but Qing Zhiyuan has been busy with other things before. Simulation games have not paid much attention since Waterloo at the prestigious academy, which resulted in missing out on a very interesting big IP.

Regret, regret.

However, Qing Zhiyuan does not necessarily have no chance of overtaking again. After all, P Club now has too many IPs. In the future, simulation-type games can combine a lot of content, and maybe even create an unprecedented and particularly interesting series. The game.

……

After EA's presentation, the atmosphere at the scene was once again pushed to its peak.

Countless players are both looking forward to and a little worried about the game company that will appear next.

After all, there are so many pearls and jade in front, and the pressure behind will be very great.

"I originally thought that Sony would be the pinnacle of this game show. The results of PS2 and GT racing were really outstanding, but I didn't expect that it was just the beginning.

A giant like Sony actually became the bottom step of the E3 staircase this time.

The games that followed were more powerful than the last, and the quality was also better than the last.

It’s so exciting, so interesting, so exciting. "

"I really wonder if the organizers did this on purpose. They have already seen the content of each game, right? So they arranged the presentation in order from low to high in terms of game content and quality? "

The organizer said that I was wronged too. I tried my best to separate the big manufacturers from each other and not get together to fight. Who would have thought that Sony would be so awkward.

And the game manufacturers that came out later are too awesome, right?

What happened this year?
Gods fight, right?

“Seriously, it’s really worthwhile to attend the E3 electronics show this year. So far, I feel that there have been many amazing games that can be recorded in the history of gaming.

Like the Sims just now, I have never seen such an interesting simulation game before. "

“Being able to understand the needs of players and make it into a game that meets players’ expectations really requires a lot of effort and ability.

There are really too many game manufacturers that can do this this year. "

"Do you think there is a possibility that these games can only reach 70 points, but with the support of pokeni's game engine, they give us the illusion of reaching 90 points or more?"

"Huh? If you think about it...it seems like this is really the case. Except for Rentendo and Sony, I think almost all other game manufacturers use pokeni's game engine."

"It's really scary when you think about it. This is really scary. The pokeni haven't appeared yet, so why do they feel like they are everywhere?"

"Yeah, so pokeni hasn't appeared yet? Why do I feel like I've watched so many P Club games?"

"Hahahahaha, it's so interesting. I'm afraid Qing Zhiyuan himself is also very depressed. He hasn't even appeared yet, but pokeni's name has been mentioned countless times.

And everyone uses the Trailblazer engine, so it’s hard to throw away P Club’s name. "

"Forget about just one, and so many games use Trailblazers. Now my mind is filled with pokeni and Trailblazers. The memory is being strengthened over and over again. It's hard not to be remembered."

“Although P Club hasn’t debuted yet, it doesn’t seem to be much different from Pokeni who has already appeared.

It feels like I have witnessed pokeni’s game conference for two days in a row.

Do you feel the same way? "

"Yeah, this is very, very strong."

……

This is probably what is called, although I am not in the world, the world is full of legends about me, right?

Qing Zhiyuan was also dumbfounded. On the one hand, everyone has reached a cooperation agreement with pokeni and agreed to digitally join the Dandelion game platform. This in itself is a good thing.

On the other hand, with so many games using pokeni’s game engine, the quality gap must have narrowed.

Although pokeni has not yet appeared, a lot of expectations have been overdrawn.

This is very distressing.

Obviously I wanted to put a big one here, but my dear fellows, all of you are preparing the ground for me, right?

After crying wolf too much, I lost the sense of awe.

You guys are putting a lot of pressure on me to play later!

"But now I'm worried about pokeni." The players seemed to realize this.

"Wow, these companies and games that have appeared before are all great. I was originally looking forward to pkoeni's games, but now I'm a little worried about Qing Zhiyuan."

"Yes, the previous games are all so good, and all of them use pokeni's engine.

In other words, in terms of quality, at least in terms of tools, P Company no longer has its exclusive advantage, so the quality gap between products is definitely not as big as before.

So what else can pokeni rely on to crush them? "

"Haha, it is possible. If these apprentices of pokeni do better, wouldn't they defeat the master?"

"If I were pokeni, really, if the subsequent games were not as good as the previous games, let's put it this way, if I could not become number one and crush the previous games, this year's pokeni would have a bad image in the minds of the players. Discount."

"I don't think the problem is big. Judging from my understanding of pokeni, Qing Zhiyuan is not the kind of person who is willing to lag behind.

They will definitely rush upward with all their strength.

The gap in our imagination will probably always exist.

P Club is not only technologically advanced, but also has capabilities and potential beyond the times in terms of concept and design.

Anyway, I am very optimistic about pokeni. "

……

And just when everyone was talking and feeling worried and uneasy about pokeni, that afternoon, the host was the first to call pokeni's name.

"Invite me below, pokeni!"

Hua Hua Hua Hua...

There was thunderous applause.

Countless people are looking forward to this and want to see what else Qing Zhiyuan can do this time.

……
