Tokyo Gentleman Story
Chapter 1148: "Uncle" shock
In the second millennium AD, the theme of the E3 exhibition is "Beyond Imagination".
Every year, E3 is a time for major game manufacturers to show themselves.
But this year is something special.
Because this year one manufacturer withdrew from E3, and another manufacturer joined E3.
Sega quit, and the Order of the Phoenix joined.
"Sega's withdrawal is only temporary. They are transforming into a software supplier, and they should make a comeback next year." Two Sony executives were at E3 at this time.
The exhibition has not started yet, they are still chatting at this time.
"So, Sega seems to be seeking cooperation with other manufacturers now, right?" asked one of them named Hirai.
This Mr. Hirai is an employee of the Beacon Koku branch of Sony Electronics Entertainment and holds an important position here.
Sony also participated in E3, and Hirai also came here as an important person of the Beacon Kuni branch.
"Yeah." said another executive from the mud bomb itself, "Yes, Sega does not intend to go with the Order of the Phoenix. They have thrown away the burden of the home machine and are now ready to do their own. Sony. I also discussed with them about cooperation."
Hearing this, Hirai was stunned: "Mr. Okawa Gong will allow this to happen?!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing the name of Da Chuan Gong, the other party shook his head: "Da Chuan Gong can no longer manage things. He separated the home appliance department from DC. It is his last strength. Now Sega has to I left alone. It is said that Mr. Masao Chiba was also driven out by Sega."
Hearing what the other party said, Hirai nodded.
When Chiba Masao entered Sega, the volatility was actually quite large. After all, he was also a big boss, but he was not involved in video games.
"Sega still has a lot of high-quality projects in hand. If we can cooperate with them, it is actually not bad." Hirai muttered, "I just don't know how their current technical skills are..."
"Oh?" Another executive seemed a little surprised at Hirai's judgment. "We all think that the Order of the Phoenix may not grow. Sega should be able to survive by docking his tail. Your opinion seems different?"
"Hi." Hirai nodded. "I don't know the Order of the Phoenix, but I know how popular the Anmic Club is in the Lighthouse Country."
Strictly speaking, the Order of the Phoenix is now regarded as a subsidiary of Company A. Hirai directly refers to Company A here, but there is actually no problem.
Hirai didn't say much about the Order of the Phoenix.
In fact, the Order of the Phoenix has taken away most of the main players in the production of home appliances from Sega, and it has also taken the lead in a large eastern country to strengthen research and development, and find ways to reduce the cost.
In terms of cost, the machines of the Order of the Phoenix are more attractive than those of Sony.
But this question is not easy to say.
"Company A’s games are indeed millions, but they are only millions. They do have tens of millions of games-but they are all casual games. And they are really unsatisfactory, you see. , The previous Plants vs. Zombies, at the press conference last year, the main focus was actually Bejeweled and Zuma, oh, yes, and the recent melatonin...Hahaha!” The other party said, but he himself Laughed.
"I'm talking about PC games-the game called "Hero Trail"." Kazuo Hirai said.
"Oh oh oh, is that'online game' right? It is known as an online game with millions of registrations, but it is a free game, right? I don't seem to understand it.
But Hirai knew.
"Yes, this game is indeed a free game, and the number of registered users is indeed only one million, but according to our statistics, their profits are already close to tens of millions of games. And the topic of this game has always been very popular Yes, on the Internet, this topic is basically ranked first."
——If it were not for the limitations of online payment methods, they could earn more.
The mud bomb itself may not understand, but Hirai works in the lighthouse country.
So he knows the horror of this game, and he also knows the reputation of A company among North American players.
"Hahahaha, only online games, that kind of games will be eliminated sooner or later," but the executive from the mud bomb himself didn't care, "PS2 was denigrated because it was forcibly added to the network system. If that part is removed, PS2 will definitely be more popular. Even if DC is used as a network system, what use is it for them? And there is an additional cost to develop the server, it is nothing to look for!"
Indeed, the server costs.
Not only the server itself, but also the network.
These additional costs are superfluous for this executive from the mud bomb.
"But the network system also has a more harmonious combination of cases, so the "Dark Soul" is necessary..." When it comes to the Dark Soul, Hirai is obviously more cautious.
"You have to worry about it, that game is indeed very well-known," said Nihong executives, "but it is just not popular. Such a large-scale development game only has more than one million sales, which is not enough. According to it, not enough."
Dark Souls is indeed a masterpiece of word of mouth, but the sales volume of this game is only one million.
For small game manufacturers, millions may be a lot. But for Sony, millions of sales are not even a pass.
This game may be well-known, or it may be the quality of the game, but it's just that.
The game itself is just that.
"But among players, this game is spreading widely." Hirai believes that this game cannot be ignored. "In North America, this game has a high reputation. The Order of the Phoenix only uses one game and two months. , Established its own brand, and then gained a firm foothold..."
"You worry too much, Hirai." The executives on the side of Nihong were unhappy. "Just two months ago, they were still doing business development. I... Oh, yes, that's FATE or something, right? But this game is not just over 200,000 sales. We may discuss how to fight the so-called Mithril forces together, but if there is only one family, it is not a problem.
"Hi……"
Now that this level has been reached, Hirai can't continue to say anything.
"It's not justified to go to a paperman game manufacturer who doesn't work properly... By the way," the other party looked at the time. "The Order of the Phoenix is about to start, why don't we go and see?"
"Hi."
It's okay on their side for the time being, they are going to visit the Order of the Phoenix.
Although there are a lot of people there and the seats are full, for Sony here, it is not a problem to have two positions.
At this time, the screen on the scene had already begun to appear.
Then, there was a burst of English.
I_am_the_bone_of_my_sord...
A burst of chanting.
And at this time, pictures began to appear on TV.
Countless flying swords rose from the sky.
"Hero King, do you still have enough reserves?!"
3D images, 3D performances.
This is what appeared on the screen.
"CG?" Hirai was a little surprised.
This is CG?
But the picture seems a bit rough.
Although it seems plausible as a CG, such a picture looks a bit crude.
However, at this moment, buttons appeared on the screen.
"This is—QTE system?"
Hirai saw this system immediately.
"Isn't this FATE?!" The executive next to him exclaimed.
Yes, this is the QTE system.
Sony also knows about this system, because in Shenmue, this system has caused a sensation. Although Shenmue is not the first to use this system, they are the first to make the QTE concept well-known.
And now, the Order of the Phoenix has actually developed such a system.
"—Wait, this is real-time calculation?!"
People at the scene obviously noticed this.
At the beginning, everyone seemed a little dazed by the scene like this.
But when they discovered that this was the image quality calculated in real time, it was an instant sensation.
Although it is a bit rough compared to CG, in real-time calculation, this is definitely a very good picture quality!
The mud bomb executive Hei Jing also obviously noticed this.
But it's not over yet.
How could the revelation of the "opening animation" end like this?
At this moment, the picture in front of me focused on a sword, and then the sword flew in the air, and then was stepped under the foot.
Flying sword!
Although I don't understand what is going on, this animation obviously made the presence sensational again.
But it’s a pity that the opening scene was fleeting, and then another Digimon was shown in the picture. A player was holding an XBOX handheld. He was raising his Digimon, and then he took his Yagu The beast feeds his mood value, and then plugs the XBOX into the game console.
Afterwards, he picked up the handle, and a Digimon appeared in the screen.
"This is linkage! What a powerful linkage!"
Hirai was also surprised to see this scene.
Being able to make such a delicate linkage is definitely not something Sony can do... ahem, Sony doesn't have a handheld yet.
All in all, this is a very powerful linkage.
But still not enough to see. After this period, the picture changed again, and then became a ninja wearing a tights. This game seems to be an action game similar to Black Soul, but the background seems to be modern?
However, it was still a flash.
Hirai, who is already forty years old, is already relatively calm, but when he sees those pictures, he still has an itchy feeling...
Very powerful technology.
Then, a young girl appeared in the picture, holding a magic wand in her hand, and then in the air.
Is this a magical girl?
But why does it feel like an air combat game?
Is it a magical girl game imitating air combat games?
Hmm, but the picture is really wonderful...
Subsequently, the screen flashed through several games again. These game fragments could not make people judge the type of game, but they always made people feel the feeling that came from the game.
But in the end, when everything is over, the picture freezes...heroes?
Yes, in the end, the game screen turned into a picture of an online game?
what's going on?
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to our exhibition in the Order of the Phoenix..."
At this moment, the host had already started to explain.
It's not Senxia, but Americans.
"Very good, right?" At this moment, a voice came from Hirai's side.
"You are—Mr. Tianhai?"
The smiling person sitting next to him is Tianhai Senxia.
"Please call me Senxia, are you?"
"Oh, my name is Kazuo Hirai." Kazuo Hirai replied.
"Hello, uncle." Senxia showed a subtle smile on her face.
uncle? What is the pronunciation?
It seems to be Chinese?
Oh, yes, Senxia seems to be able to speak Chinese.
Kazuo Hirai was puzzled, but he nodded with a nice smile.
"Can I ask for a signature?" the other party suddenly said.
"Signature?" Kazuo Hirai looked dumbfounded.
What's the situation?
I don’t seem to be a famous person, right?
Did you hear me wrong~www.readwn.com~ Hi, Mr. Kazuo Hirai, your signature. "Morixia blinked at Kazuo Hirai.
"Uh... it's my honor."
What the **** is this? Why do you want my signature?
Wait, Tian Hai Senxia is not only a former "genius high school student", he is also a beautiful boy with a handsome appearance.
Could it be that he has any ulterior hobbies?
Kazuo Hirai suddenly felt that he was tight.
"Hi..." Picking up the pen and signing the name on the opponent's notebook, Kazuo Hirai returned the notebook to the opponent.
"Thank you, I will save it carefully." Morinya smiled and put away the notebook.
At this time, Kazuo Hirai also took the opportunity to ask: "I just seemed to see "Hero Trail" in the promo? That game is an online game, right? Are you planning to make this game?"
"Well, it's almost the same." Morinya smiled, "but the type and form are a bit subtle, and now I ask me to keep it secret for now. Because this is a surprise."
Yes, a big, big surprise.
"At the beginning of the screen, forgive me, it is the QTE system and real-time calculation, right?" Kazuo Hirai asked again.
"Yes," Senxia nodded, "That's what the stage is talking about-interactive movie, FATE."
Fate stay night, the interactive movie version, is also a super interactive movie that Morinia took out as an example for everyone.
Kazuo Hirai also suddenly realized.
So this is the interactive movie he said last year?
Originally, Kazuo Hirai thought it was just a gimmick or a technical concept, but he never expected that the other party actually made a finished product!
...
Today’s ethics follows the plot.
OvO
Two-in-one meow meow~
