"Sony is really not a good person this time. ”

Poured a glass of wine for Okawa Gong, and Chiba Masao sighed.

Okawa Gong, who was sitting next to him, picked up the wine glass, put it to his lips, then thought about it, and put the wine down again.

Sega's home console division is now fully supporting the creation of the game Shenmue. Although the production time of Shenmue jumped several times, in the end, it was finally determined that it would finally be released in time for September - which was much earlier than scheduled.

However, Sony has also made a big deal out of it, announcing the launch of a PS2 in November - which is almost a remake of last year's DC.

Sony's PS2 was not a good compromise, and the demo graphics were perfect, and it captured many players at once.

Sony claims to be ten times more powerful than Sega's DC, coupled with such a perfect picture on the scene, although PS2 has not yet been launched, but it has already attracted the attention of players, and this has directly led to the unsalable Sega DC.

When it landed in Europe and the United States before, DC's sales soared, and Sega was also relieved, but at this time, the news of PS2 came out, which gave Sega a headache.

Shenmue's game is innovative in terms of graphics, but when compared to Sony, it definitely can't compare to the PS2's demo screen - but as for the actual effect, who can say?

Of course, Shenmue still has advantages - an open world, a QTE system, and then a very good mod development environment.

Well...... That's right, in this world of Shenmue, is to support the mod system.

Sega DC has a hard disk in it, this hard disk is not added casually, after having this hard disk, Sega DC's development team, many have made optimizations for this hard disk.

The game companies on the mud bombardment side will transfer some of the big data to the hard disk, and then speed up the reading speed of the game, while the manufacturers in Europe and the United States prefer to launch DLC based on the network system, as for the MOD, some manufacturers think that this system is not in line with the concept of their own games, so they do not adopt it, while some game manufacturers are very convenient to use the MOD system, so that players can also participate in the development of the game, such as Animic's "Guilty Crown" and "" Lelouch the Rebellious.

When Yu Suzuki was making Shenmue, he was bent on piling advanced concepts into the game, so he also adopted this game system.

Far from it.

Before the game "Shenmue" appeared, it was knocked out by Sony, and Sega is in a very bad situation now.

“...... Masao, you get out of the way. "It's been a long time before Mr. Okawa Gong said that.

"Quitting Sega now?" Chiwa Masao narrowed his eyes.

As one of the important directors, Chiba Masao also has a certain influence, but unfortunately, there are various situations within Sega that are difficult to explain, so that Chiba Masao here also feels tricky.

It stands to reason that if he can withdraw and leave at this time, it will also be a good thing for Chiba Masao - he is now negotiating with a certain eastern power, preparing to let the Chiba Group enter a certain eastern country, if he can break away from Sega, then Chiba Masao can also concentrate on doing this.

But how to say it......

I'm not reconciled.

He picked up his glass, took a sip, and then set his eyes on the room.

This is the private residence of the Chiba family, which is the hot spring manor where Senxia and the others once came.

Today's sun is very big, but in the Japanese-style room, it is very cool, even the air conditioner does not need to be turned on, and there is a fresh breeze blowing, slightly blowing the room, bringing a trace of coolness.

"What about you?" asked Masao Chiha.

Okawa Gong shook his head: "I have watched Sega step by step to get to where it is today, and I will continue to walk with Sega." ”

The biggest supporter of DreamCast is Ko Okawa.

At the time of his death, he even donated all of his 85 billion yen net worth to Sega, and his will was that Sega could not give up DreamCast.

――However, he probably never dreamed that more than a month after Okawa died, Sega would give up DC.

To put it mildly, Mr. Okawa's "corpse is not yet cold", and the former executives of Sega have already kicked him into the garbage heap of history.

This point, Chiba Masao here, is more understanding.

After more than a year of getting along, what the executives on Sega's side look like, of course Chiba Masao understands. Sega's home and arcade divisions within are not aligned in their interests. They can see their own interests within the company damaged, but they don't see the interests of the company as a whole - or rather, they see it, but they selectively ignore it because of their own interests.

Chiba Masao wondered if he should really just leave.

It's a hundred.

After all, I still have to rush to Sega this year, that is, the Kuomintang who voted for Chang Kaishen in 49 years is too dead to die.

Moreover, Mr. Okawa's spirit has also dropped significantly recently, he is already old, and he no longer has so much strength to manage Sega.

But...... Opt-out at this time?

Sure enough, he was still unwilling.

It's really super unpleasant to just leave!

“...... Look at Shenmue. Chiwa Masao said, "The game itself is still very good, and with such a killer game, Sega DC still has a chance." ”

The game of saving a machine does exist, Pokemon is the case with GB, and Final Fantasy and Resident Evil on the PS platform are also two good games that complement each other.

And Shenmue is given that identity - because the game is really good.

Masao Chiba has not seen the game base of Shenmue, but Masao Chiba has seen the technical demonstration of Shenmue that Yu Suzuki demonstrated to himself.

Sunrises and sunsets, a QTE system, an open world, dynamic NPCs, all of which make this game excellent.

So, Shenmue was still able to gamble.

If Shenmue is on fire, the PS2 will be released later, which will instead give Sega a chance to fight back.

"But this kid Mori Xia ......" And at this time, Chiba Masao suddenly thought of Mori Xia.

Internally, Sega - mainly in the home console department - had very good expectations for Shenmue, and there was no one to speak ill of Shenmue.

But Senxia was not optimistic about Shenmue.

No, to be precise, he is not optimistic about Shenmue on the DC platform.

"Shenmue's game is technically good, but it's a console-led game at best, but it's not a console-led game. Senxia once said this to Qianjia, and Qianjia told her father about it.

“...... Is that your son-in-law?" Okawa remembered that somewhat special boy.

"Poof-ahem......" Chiwa Masao almost swallowed a mouthful of wine into his trachea, and after taking a breath of relief, he said, "It's hard to say, and I'm not going to interfere with the children's own choices." ”

Okawa nodded, then asked, "What did he say?"

"Senxia, that kid thinks DC has a slim future right now...... Well, as long as DC is in Sega, there's no way to save it. ”

Whether or not game creation is popular or not is actually accidental, but in Senxia's view, in addition to the game itself, the person who makes the game is actually the more important element.

That's the right idea. Okawa sighed.

"Well," Chiwa Masao nodded, "It's also a very troublesome matter to reconcile the contradictions between the various departments within Sega. When Shenmue goes on the market, I'm going to take advantage of Shenmue's sales and take the opportunity to clean up the interior of Sega. ”

Mr. Okawa agreed, "I will support you when the time comes." ”

"By the way, I have an idea on my side that I want to consider with you. After laying the groundwork so much, Chiba Masao also began to tell his thoughts.

"Hmm. Okawa nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"When Shenmue comes out, I'm going to bring DC ...... No, be prepared to pull the entire home console and gaming department out to do things alone. I've also revealed a little bit about this to Yu Suzuki, and when the time comes, this new club will be handed over to him to manage, what do you think?"

"Can you convince the other directors?" said this to Masao Okawa before, but at that time it was just an idea. But now, it's a different story.

"Hey, it's hard to say anything else, but I'm the best at convincing people or something. A smile appeared on Masao Chiha's face.

"That's good. Okawa nodded.

“...... Speaking of which," because the serious matter was finished, Chiba Masao relaxed, and the tone of his voice became much more relaxed, "I also asked Senxia about that kid's idea before, although that kid's Animic is still developing games for DC, but that's all because of our Sega resources available in the back, and he himself is now looking at the PS2 over there, I don't know how greedy it is!"

Well, Animic didn't have a choice before, but after knowing the news of PS2, Senxia sent someone to keep an eye on Sony's side almost every day, and then tried every means to rub into the PS2 camp.

After Animic became a big hit in Europe and the United States, it developed one game after another, and then it made a big splash with a group of game manufacturers and developed an online platform - and it sold very well.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Animic's future is really limitless.

"But if I want to see it, although Mori Xia values the PS2, his eyes have always been on the PC - no, it should be on the Internet. ”

Yes, targeting PS2 is just Animic's strategy now, and Animic's real goal in the future is the online platform.

Having said that, they recently developed an online game called "Stone Age" in operation, but unfortunately, on the mud bombardment side, this game is not very popular - but if you look at a certain eastern country, Chiba Masao suddenly found that this game seems to be developing with the Internet in a certain eastern country, and it is really popular.

And now, they're said to have acquired the Lianzhong platform, and they're testing another fun casual online game......

So after observing the actions of Mori Xia's side, Chiba Masao was immediately able to know that Mori Xia's side was completely focused on the Internet.

"The Internet does represent the future," Mr. Okawa nodded, "It's not a bad thing to grasp this trend." ”

The network system on the DC was made by Mr. Okawa Ko at his insistence.

In the beginning, the network system didn't really play a big role on the mud bomb side - because the number of mud bombers who could communicate with each other and use the network system was very limited.

However, when DC was listed in Europe and the United States, Sega realized that the power of the network system was simply too great, and many European and American players simply came to buy games for the network system - in the mud bombardment, this situation is simply unimaginable!

"It's your vision. Regarding this, Chiwa Masao also admires Okawa Gong, if it weren't for his persistence, Sega DC's success in Europe and the United States would definitely be greatly discounted.

But speaking of this matter, Chiba Masao here has some regrets.

At present, the most popular online game is called "Hero Tracks", but the most suitable platform for this game is PC, using the mouse and keyboard to cooperate with the control, this "Hero Tracks" can show a very exquisite gameplay.

Speaking of which, this game is also interesting, at the beginning I had to buy the character rights, except for Kadokawa, who was very supportive at the time, other publishers ignored this, but now, when the popularity and response of the game are violent, these publishers are in a hurry to send money, hoping to add some characters from their own works in it.

According to the grapevine, the hero trajectory seems to be preparing to produce a TOP100 ACG popular character, but choose a new character or something in it...... Hawkers, but this kind of gossip news, Chiba Masao won't pay attention to it, he doesn't have much time to gossip about this.

“...... Now, let's get ready for Yuki Suzuki, taking over DC is a heavy burden. Mr. Okawa cut back to the topic.

"Hi. Chiba Masao responded.

In this way, the world took another small step in a direction that Sen Xia didn't know......

What?, you ask, what is Mori doing now?

Uh---of course, it's a special training in Tianhai Village!

......

Roughly cleaned up the room, I really feel like people are going to die in the past two days, all kinds of bad luck, even Xiao An spent 110W+ friendship points to pull it out......

It's a sad story......

2-in-1 chapter, took anti-inflammatory drugs to sleep......
