Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 181: Help the strong or not the weak

The purpose of the Hawaii Game Summit is to discuss dividing the cake, and before dividing the cake, the cake must be made first.

Currently, NICO is the only player in the field of handheld consoles, and has dominated the field of handheld consoles for nearly fifteen years.

fifteen years!
Two generations of handheld consoles!

This not only means that NICO has various classic handheld game IPs accumulated over the years, but its strength is extremely exaggerated. At the same time, it also means that a large number of players have bought many games on NICO's handheld platform, and once they change the handheld platform, it means abandoning those games they bought in the past, as well as those achievement trophies.

Not only is this a huge sunk cost, it’s also a classic sign of squirrel syndrome.

Squirrel syndrome, to put it simply, is collecting or hoarding, just like squirrels like to hide various peanuts and nuts in trees.

Many people will buy games during various promotions, but what really makes them happy is not playing games, but the thrill of buying games and the satisfaction of seeing warehouses full of all kinds of excellent games.

Driven by these emotions, when players want to switch to a new era handheld console, they will naturally prefer to continue buying NICO's handheld console.

It is very difficult to seize the handheld market from NICO. This alliance must not only have enough third-party games to fill the game library. At the same time, the three leaders, Juyin, Shanmu and SATE, must present a good enough exclusive escort masterpiece in today's preview session in order to convince other manufacturers to finally sign the agreement.

"That's for sure. If I don't have anything on hand, SATE won't set foot in the handheld market again, but compared to SATE, I'm more curious about what games Juyin will come up with. Their cooperation with Shanmu must be very early We have negotiated before, and in addition to the fact that we have been collecting IPs from outside in recent years, maybe we can really serve a big dish this time."

"It's not a direct transplant, it's a sequel, and it's a sequel for handheld consoles. I heard that they originally wanted to put this work on their PP handheld console, but the PP series was canceled by SATE's senior management last year. Are you giving up on the handheld field? Then this game, which I heard was almost completed at the time, was shelved, but now that SATE has taken a stake in Shanmu, the project will probably be restarted again."

In the seat at the back of the screening room, a female president, who looked about forty years old but maintained a good figure and still had charm, moved her gaze to the rightmost position in the first row with some curiosity in her eyes.

This link is very crucial. Many manufacturers couldn't wait to communicate as soon as they took their seats in this cinema-like screening room. The whole hall was very lively.

"Haha, I hope it's a plate instead of a lump. Hey, having said that, I really didn't expect that Fuyukawa Che to be able to sit at the head table today."

Although no one doubts Cheru Fuyukawa's game production capabilities, without the big tree of NTsoft, human, material and financial resources will definitely decline dramatically.

The still charming female president expressed emotion, looking at Fuyukawa Che from a distance with a little admiration and envy in her eyes. Although joining the current alliance will definitely reap the huge dividends from the initial establishment of the alliance, NICO is the absolute overlord in the handheld field!
To be honest, she asked herself, if NICO's management came to talk to her about cooperation, they should give favorable terms. So even if she could get more bonuses in this alliance, she didn't think she would refuse NICO. After all, the trees are big enough to enjoy the shade, and the alliance seems to have huge dividends, but if it can't compete with NICO, all the dividends will be in vain.

He had no choice but to join this alliance because he was squeezed by NICO, while Cheru Fuyukawa refused NICO because he was confident that he would get a lot of dividends in this alliance.

There was some expectation and some worry in the words.

Whether these factors will have a bad impact on Fuyukawa Cheru's new work, no one knows. After all, there are still only a few game producers who can still achieve great success after going solo, and although Fuyukawa Cheru is not the most critical in this league yet Although he is a pillar, he can still be regarded as a prominent figure.

The woman next to him shrugged, "It should be no problem. I heard from my friends that during his time at NTsoft, he was actually making his own games in private. If I'm not mistaken, his new work should be ready. , and it is very likely that he showed the trial DEMO to Mr. Matri, otherwise Juyin would not have given him such respect. I just don’t know if he can still maintain the quality of his first game after leaving NTsoft. High quality before.”

The starting points and patterns of both sides are completely different.

Next to him, another MILF female president moved her fat peach on the sofa. After finding a comfortable position, she leaned on the backrest, looked at Fuyukawa Che from a distance, and whispered: " Four works were released in one year, and all of them were hits. Of course, a man like him, who is like a monster, cannot use common sense to predict. Moreover, his works are actually quite suitable for handheld platforms, and the sales of those four works on handheld platforms are very high. , it’s normal to get a main table spot under such circumstances. And you don’t know that before he came to attend the summit this time, NICO sent the management to contact him, but I heard that he was rejected.”

"She was in neutral?!"

The two mature women who still have charm understand this truth, and everyone else understands it too. Everyone would also discuss topics about Fuyukawa Che during the chat, but these discussions could not reach Fuyukawa Che's ears at this time.

Whether the quality of his works is good or not will also affect the future of this new handheld console to a certain extent, thereby indirectly affecting small factories like them who are trying to eat some scraps next to them.

"Tsk, tsk, if Age of Dragons really has a handheld version, then maybe it will really work this time. That's one of SATE's signature IPs."

The still-charming female president shook her head with emotion, but as if she thought of something, she frowned again, "But... he hasn't even established the company yet. If he wants to join the sale of this handheld console, will he have enough time?"

"Age of Dragons? Is it true? If a 3A masterpiece is ported to a handheld console, it probably won't be stable at frames. Players may scold it even more fiercely."

"Did you hear that SATE seems to be moving their Age of Dragons to this handheld console?"

"NICO's executives came to the door and refused directly? What an ambitious man."

His left hand felt the crushing softness of the big peach, but he did not feel the thorny feeling at the edge of the peach. Looking at Miyano Miwa who was calmly chatting with Ohara Chika, but her cheeks were already red, Fuyukawa Teru felt her heartbeat. accelerate.

The elasticity gradually increases.

Somewhat panicked.

While exerting force on his dragon-clawed hand that was covered by the lady's handbag, he raised his arrogant legs and adjusted his position. This movement of his and the slightly arched lower abdomen were also caught by Miyano Miwa from the corner of his eye.

Her cheeks were slightly red, a smile appeared on her lips, and the big peach was secretly grinding, "Someone seems to have regained his vitality."

"Nonsense, I'm not a eunuch."

Being teased and a little angry, but obviously unable to go any further in this situation, Fuyukawa Che complained with a pained expression. Feeling the pain in his balls, Miyano Miba grinded slightly for a moment, then pulled up his left hand, clasped his fingers tightly on her thigh, and then said with a sweet smile: "Miyano wants to do it too." Well, if I let my brother continue, Miyano’s thigh adductors might shine when he goes on stage.”

Glowing on the thigh adductors?
Subconsciously, Fuyukawa Che took a look at Miyano Miwa's plump and white thighs under her black butt-covering skirt.

Although the skirt she wore today was not a sexy butt-covering skirt, the hem of the black midi skirt only covered her mid-thigh. Her plump and fleshy white thighs were tightly folded together, leaving no gaps exposed.

The grass is abundant and the forest is luxuriant.

It's a normal sitting posture for a woman, but the tightly stacked white legs, coupled with the neutral touch just now, and Miyano Miwa's words [the thigh adductors are shining brightly], still make his eyes become more and more fiery. , "You little slut, you've become more and more naughty recently!"

The words are a bit vulgar. However, feeling Fuyukawa Che's "cannibalistic" look, Miyano Miwa not only did not feel disgusted, but more shyness and excitement flowed from her eyes. She turned her head and exhaled like a blue, "Then brother doesn't like it? ?”

After saying that, she nuzzled the back of his ear with her little nose. It was obvious that after this year of getting along, she understood what made Fuyukawa Che happy. At this moment, as the hot breath hit the back of the ears, Fuyukawa Che's legs unconsciously tightened a little.

Feeling the change in him, Miyano Miwa's eyes smiled even more, "But that's not possible now. The video broadcast is about to begin, and I have to endure it a little longer."

"You guy."

Looking at Miyano Miwa's big smiling eyes full of teasing, Fuyukawa Che rolled his eyes speechlessly, and was about to teach this woman who was becoming more and more presumptuous. At this moment, the lights in the entire screening room gradually dimmed. Amid everyone's applause, Fujiko Sato, Matri and the president of Sugi walked onto the stage in front of the giant screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the first Hawaii Game Show. The next video segment will be hosted by me, Sato."

"coming soon."

Seeing Fujiko Sato standing in front of the microphone and talking about something, Cheru Fuyukawa's face gradually became serious. Not only him, although there were still two blushes on his cheeks, Miyano Miwa also brushed the short and medium hair on the back of her neck to dissipate the heat that had just accumulated, and then stared at the stage with her eyes.

Although the form of this video broadcast is somewhat similar to the promotional video section of Gamescom, in which each manufacturer plays their own game promotional video and then explains it, in essence, the two are completely different.

The video broadcasting session of the game exhibition is mainly for players. Its main function is to build anticipation and make players interested in the game. The content displayed will not be too much. The purpose of this Hawaii summit is to form an alliance to grab food in the handheld market.

Other game manufacturers want to know what the status of the Big Three's escort masterpieces is. The Big Three also need to know the approximate quality of the games from the game manufacturers they have roped in this time. This will facilitate the signing of the agreement and the subsequent strategy for the launch of the new handheld console. layout.

All in all, this time, all manufacturers have to come up with useful information for the internal broadcasting process that has signed a strict confidentiality agreement!
Of course, before any game is launched, even if it is an internal broadcast that gives more revelations, it is still difficult to judge the final sales, but...
It’s like not every player thinks Zelda or The Ring is a masterpiece, but every player who has played “Lord of the Rings Gollum”, or even those who have only watched the gameplay video, knows that this is such a masterpiece. lump.

No one can predict how popular a game will be, but in most cases it is easy to tell whether a game is a piece of shit. The quality of the games that come to the exhibition this time will also largely determine the sales of this new handheld console after it goes online!
It was obvious to everyone that tonight was all about the quality of the game, and guest host Fujiko Sato knew it too. After a brief opening remarks, she went straight to the topic without further beeping, and began to invite game manufacturers to come on stage to introduce the game.

Needless to say, in the eyes of the outside world, although this summit was suddenly announced a few days ago, people from Shanmu and Juyin have been working behind the scenes for a long time, and many game manufacturers are preparing for today. Even some games that were originally planned to be launched in the second half of last year have been delayed until now, and this is one of the reasons why last year was a small year for games.

Everyone is holding back their ultimate move!
However, the big move of small factories is usually just above the passing line, so it is very difficult to come up with popular products.

Under the watchful eye of Cheru Fuyukawa, the first person to take the stage was a Polish game manufacturer. The game was also a small-scale side-scrolling action game.

The game style is somewhat similar to Scale of Gods, with monsters defeated and upgraded, and the graphics style is not bad. However, after watching carefully for a while and listening to the explanation of the combat system by the red-bearded game producer, Cheru Fuyukawa frowned.

Small-scale side-scrolling action games seem to be relatively easy to make, and that is indeed the case. But if you want to make it fun and make players pay for it, it is actually more difficult than those high-cost games with excellent graphics.

At that time, the gameplay of Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey and Hall of Valor was not outstanding. Even though various question marks were added to the big world, the combat system was not very good. But the sales volume of these three mythical films are all over 10 million, even close to 20 million.

Why is that?
It is because of this kind of game that players can find pleasure from elements other than gameplay. Some people want to experience assassination and combat, while others simply use these as travel simulators to see beautiful scenery, complete missions and fight monsters. However, low-cost side-scrolling fighting games cannot provide these exciting features.

If a low-cost side-scrolling fighting game wants to sell well, it must in-depth polish the plot, combat feel, combat system, numerical upgrades, and skill upgrades. This is the only way out, and this game of Polish red-bearded uncle.
In terms of the plot, Fuyukawa Che will not comment. After all, the plot is a carrot and a vegetable, everyone has their own preference. But in terms of combat system and upgrade system, this game called "Viking God of War" is not very good, not deep enough, and the positive feedback is not strong enough.

The red-bearded uncle was only halfway through his explanation, and no one in the audience was listening to him anymore.

Everyone was either sitting there chatting or playing with their mobile phones.

The voice became louder and louder, and soon the red-bearded uncle could no longer stand on the stage. The expression on his face gradually changed from the excitement at the beginning to embarrassment and embarrassment. He began to stutter nervously when speaking, and his hands would Subconsciously wiping sweat on his plaid shirt, but...
No one cares about his emotions.

"These people are really realistic."

Fuyukawa Che shook his head with emotion. Although he lived a smooth life in this life, in his previous life, he also suffered a lot of cold looks and ridicule in the initial stage.

He can also feel some of the feelings of the fat old man with a red beard, but he doesn't have a Virgin complex either. Society is like this. It helps the strong but not the weak. If you can't become a strong person, you can only face the cruel reality of being eliminated. It's the same for everyone.

However, just as he reached out to take the coconut from Miyano Mitei's arms, the picture that appeared on the screen made him frown again.

"This is."

On the big screen, the protagonist controlled by the red-bearded uncle was jumping up and spinning his machete to slash at the BOSS.

It's a normal picture, but it feels very stuck!
