Sunday, January 18, 1998, sunny day.

Today is the weekend, and according to the scheduled plan, the current Senxia should be going to Liuweizhai to work, but today is a little exceptional, because Qianjia's father wants to see Senxia.

No, to be precise, it's not to see Mori Xia, it's to negotiate with the Animic club.

Well, that's not entirely true, it's more true, but it's actually related to Sega.

At least, when Mori Natsu and Chika went to Chiyoda-ku in Tokyo today to look for Chiba Masao, they saw Sega's arrival.

It's not just Sega, but there are also some people from Kadokawa at this time, but it seems that this is Kadokawa's territory.

"The idea of Kadokawa All-Stars was brought up by these two. ”

Kadokawa's people and Sega's people are discussing things about Kadokawa's all-stars, and after Mori Natsu and Chika come in, Chika's father casually introduces the two to each other.

Sega also came with two people, one was a young man with glasses, and the other was a typical Japanese balding middle-aged man with a fat belly.

"Did you bring everything here?" said hello, Daddy Qianjia asked again.

"Hi. Qianjia nodded, and then took out the prepared project from her bag.

This is the planning draft of the "Kadokawa All-Stars" that Mori Xia and Chika have made overnight in the past few days.

Originally, this thing should have been made by Kadokawa himself, and Mori Xia and they didn't have anything to interfere with, but Daddy Chika handed over this matter to the two of them, and the reason was also very good, because the game itself was come up with by them.

Although in Senxia's view, this is the back door of Chiguoguo.

There were several copies of the business plan, and Qianjia distributed these business plans to Qianjia's father and Sega.

It is difficult to achieve the level of picture quality of LOL, but for a pure MOBA, the technical level of this year is enough. StarCraft is the benchmark.

"It's funny. Sega also nodded after seeing this kind of game.

At this time, Qianjia's father also said: "Games similar to Smash Bros., the King of Fighters has already done these games, and I heard that the all-stars that Nintendo wants to do are also fighting, so the all-stars we made by Kadokawa don't want to be the same as them, this novel game mode, I think we can try." ”

Hearing Qianjia's father's words, the two of Sega also nodded, and they naturally saw that this game mode was revolutionary. But it's another story about whether it's popular or not, and this combat mode doesn't seem to be very popular in Japan either.

But it doesn't matter, because Daddy Chika's goal is to "release it to the Omi region, as a supplement to Kadokawa's promotional strategy, as long as the game itself doesn't lose money".

It is precisely because of this minimum strategy that Sega is now coming over to discuss making games.

"Five-on-five battles over the Internet, world-wide confrontations through the Internet......" the bespectacled young man seemed to find this model appealing.

Not only is it a battle mode, but there is also a recording mode available in the game. The game process will generate a video of the game, this kind of file can be watched as long as it is loaded in the game, this kind of special file is very small, and it is very convenient to watch back and disseminate.

Of course. This is Senxia's plagiarism of Warcraft 3 video, and a game video is only a few hundred kilobytes.

"But why develop on a PC?" the middle-aged man cared about a different aspect, "We at Sega are working on a new console, and it will be announced about it next month." I think DC's performance is sufficient, and the game should be on a professional gaming platform to be interesting. ”

Well, the Japanese are strange. Even online games are stubbornly believed that they should be placed on consoles, and the Phantasy Star OL on DC is a clear proof of this.

But Senxia has a strong objection to this suggestion: "I think something is wrong, the host does not have a network system, and the PC has a natural advantage in the network, which is unmatched by the host system." ”

"Our new generation of systems is a 128-bit system, and we will also design network systems, which is not a problem for the Internet. "Even if it's a mouse and keyboard, we thought about it at the beginning of the design. ”

No, you didn't just think about it, you really got a mouse and keyboard for DC!

Sen Xia complained silently in his heart.

However, looking at Sega's attitude, it seems that they don't plan to keep DC secret, so is it really going to be a large-scale publicity?

Senxia thought of DC history in his heart, and it seems that DC was due to Sony putting the PS2 empty cannon for a while, and then there was a period of time when sales were not enough, right?

No, even if there is no PS2 mouth cannon, it seems that DC will not have the goods during that time, but even if there are goods, the number of game companies supported by DC is not enough......

Are you really okay?

Mori Xia looked at each other with a rather worried gaze.

However, the young man seemed to misunderstand what Mori Xia meant, and he said, "Our new generation of game consoles has very good systems and hardware, and the development environment is good, so we can develop them together if Kadokawa needs them." ”

Mori Xia looked at the two Sega people, and then at Kadokawa's people, and he seemed to understand a little.

The two seem to be interested in working together, but their attitudes are not clear, and at this time they need to put a pawn in front as an attempt, no matter who it is - and then Mori Xia and Chika collide head-on.

However, there seems to be some differences of opinion between Kadokawa and Sega.

Mori Xia remembered the conversation he had with Masao Chiba in the mansion earlier, and he probably understood that Kadokawa should want to test the waters first, while Sega seemed to want to pull Kadokawa to catch up with the starters.

"That's ...... so"

The corners of Senxia's mouth twitched slightly, he knew that their game might not be important, but after seeing what was going on, Senxia still felt a little faintly lost.

Anyway, it's none of our business, so let's just say it!

"Sega's game console uses an optical drive as a game system, but what we need for this kind of MOBA game, not just a optical drive, our system will regularly update the characters, and constantly add new characters, in order to maintain the heat of the game, which is something that can only be done on the PC, the host can not store local data, nor can it modify the bugs that have been wrong, for online games, the degree of control is very low, unless the DC can install a hard disk, and then have a smooth network experience, otherwise want the console to run our games, this is impossible。 ”

When Senxia said a lot of things, the two of Sega had nothing to say.

Although DC has a keyboard and mouse, and even a network, Phantasy Star OL is a generation of myths, but hard disks or something...... Not really.

"Both of you, and all of you from Kadokawa, Internet games are different from traditional games, and the reason why we developed this game is because we confirmed through market research conducted by our friends at Omi, that the concept of this type of game is different from that of Japanese games. ”

There are also online games in Japan in the future, but most of their networks are lonely and self-appreciative, or they are flowers inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall, such as the Stone Age or something, all in all, Senxia's game wants to be popular in Japan, except for the gimmick of Kadokawa, there is really no foundation, Senxia has a lot of brain holes for online games, but it is useless in the console environment.

"Go on. Senxia had already finished speaking, but at this time, Father Qianjia seemed to be fascinated, and he bluntly asked Senxia to continue.

Sleep, Yue ...... Uncle, don't bring this!

Aren't you pranking your own people?

Senxia didn't have any words at all now, but he actually let himself continue?

But at this time, if Sen Xia dared to say "I'm done", he believed that even if Qianjia's father didn't trouble him, Qianjia next to him would let Sen Xia go around without eating.

So Senxia began to talk nonsense: "With the popularity of the Internet, online games are now being launched, and traditional console games are different, the nature of the console determines that the Internet games that need to communicate are difficult to be carried out on the console that can only be controlled by the controller and cannot communicate, Internet games are not afraid of piracy, and the use of the PC platform to play games, whether it is game updates and activities within the game, it is very convenient." This is something that a home console can't do. ”

Speaking of this, Sen Xia glanced at the fat and thin men of Qianjia and Sega next to him, and they were all fascinated by what they heard.

it, isn't this a pit for me!

Senxia thought for a moment and continued to add: "And、Actually、I think the next generation of game consoles is actually outdated before development,Please don't get me wrong,I'm not talking about Sega all of you,I'm saying all of them, including Sony and Nintendo!Japan is now popularizing the network environment,When the next generation of game consoles comes out,The network will also have a place in Japan,At this time,Only PCs can meet the needs of players for network and interactive games!"

Well, it's not complete nonsense.

Senxia silently added in his heart.

What he said is really not complete nonsense, similar to "Monster Hunter", a game that has no fire on PS2, but on the PSP handheld, "Monster Hunter" is very popular, some people say that "Monster Hunter" created the PSP, and some people say that it is the PSP that creates the "Monster Hunter", but it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the PSP that can be interconnected to play the game, that there is a "Monster Hunter" that can be played in a group of four.

By the way, by the way, Senxia doesn't like PSP, Senxia likes a generation of god machine PFP, which is the handheld used by God-sama.

Having said everything that had to be said, Senxia stopped, and then looked at everyone......
