Chapter 1640: What's This Game Called?
Mori Xia didn't know that the people who played with him were all sisters from his hometown.
He just thinks that the game environment of Sword Art Online is quite good.
Pleasure.
Enjoyable gaming feel.
Super cool.
And next to him, Wang Qiwen, who was complained about by the sisters and called "passers-by", also felt that he was very comfortable playing games today.
Just then, a phone call came.
“...... Hi...... Well...... Yes, let them wait, and you will first come up with the plan you prepared before. ”
After the call, Senxia was even happier.
"What's wrong?" Wang Qiwen couldn't help but ask when he saw Sen Xia's almost laughing appearance.
"Sony, they couldn't help it. ”
“...... Sony?"
What's going on?
Wang Qiwen was a little strange.
"I had previously acquired a stake in Square Enix. Senxia explained.
"Oh, the Final Fantasy one. That's good. They lost so much money in movies before, and now they have acquired it to GS, which can be regarded as a heavyweight member. Wang Qiwen nodded, and asked strangely, "What does this have to do with Sony?"
"Of course it does. "Square Enix is dying, but Sony won't allow them to run around." In other words, Square Enix can go out of business, but the brand of Final Fantasy must not be lost from the PS platform. ”
That's the key.
Wang Qiwen used to be involved in games, and he immediately understood the doorway.
Final Fantasy 7 is a game that helped the PlayStation platform dominate the world.
But if Senxia buys Final Fantasy here, and then announces that this work will no longer be available on the PS platform, it will be a lot of fun.
This has happened on another world line.
In the PSP era, Monster Hunter is a game that can be said to be one of the top masterpieces that made PSP successful. But in the PSV era, "Monster Hunter" ran to the old Ren's house next door.
Although Sony immediately supported another planned game, "God Eater", God Eater did not have the same sensational effect as "Monster Hunter". There are many reasons for PSV's decline, but the lack of Monster Hunter is definitely the most uncomfortable of them all.
"Sony is looking for a receiver for Square Enix, they can be a middleman, or they can take over themselves, but they will definitely not accept the acquisition of three companies. ”
Senxia held out three fingers.
"One is us, one is Lao Ren, and the other is Ju Hard. ”
Sony can mediate, act as an intermediary, and even take over by itself, but only these three companies can't.
"If it weren't for the movie completely hitting the streets, this kind of problem wouldn't have happened. Wang Qiwen nodded.
Square Enix made a movie to hit the streets, so this situation happened.
But as for them hitting the street like this, I'm afraid Sony didn't expect it either.
But Senxia knew, so he took advantage of it.
"You're holding Sony now, and you have a big advantage. Wang Qiwen sighed.
"It's not because of me, it's because of the toughness. Senxia said, "Ju Hard is now burning money and smashing games, and Sony is also feeling the pressure." So they did it not for us, but to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the giants. ”
That's the crux of the matter.
"Actually, the news from Sony's side is actually good news - at least, we have the medium to hold the computer. ”
UMD。
This is the disc that Sony prepared for the PSP.
In the same way, UMD Sony also wanted to develop it into a film and television format to promote it, but it failed.
Senxia also needs a game medium here, but Senxia is not satisfied with cassette.
However, Senxia didn't want to develop a standalone disc format - Sega's GD era was enough to hit the streets, and there was no need for him to wade into troubled waters.
So what should be done?
It's as simple as finding a ready-made solution.
Of course, there is no ready-made solution on the market now, but that doesn't mean there won't be one later.
Sony has a mature scheme on its side, and that's right. They have been researching this kind of small disc since the MD era, and have accumulated more than ten years of technology, if they can take the opportunity to make a deal now, wouldn't it be great?
"But it will be manipulated, right?" Wang Qiwen thought of a more serious question.
"It's okay, it's just a standard. Sen Xia said, "And just one generation, at most ten years, it's nothing to follow their standards." ”
Wang Qiwen's worries are reasonable.
Doing so will be beneficial for the next generation of machine development.
But the further back it goes, the worse it may get – because it means that their products will have to follow Sony's standards in the future.
Standards are important.
That's right.
But it also depends on what the situation is.
Because Mori Xia never thought about relying on UMD to make any big news, he just wanted a transition.
- After the UMD era, memory cards will be popular.
When the time comes, who cares about discs?
You must know that more than ten years later, the status of the disc in the eyes of many people is the same as that of the floppy disk in this era - it is declining and useless.
"But it still feels like a loss. I think Sony will wake up laughing when they hear your request - it's the equivalent of helping them promote the new standard for free. ”
Indeed, if the technical support on the other side is discarded, the development of the optical drive itself may be a very loss-making thing.
"Not a problem. "And I can't just ask for something like that." Sony's technology over there is quite good, how can you do it if you don't take the opportunity to hug your thighs?"
Hearing Sen Xia's words, Wang Qiwen here seemed to think of something.
- That's right, didn't Company A start with Sony's thighs back then?
Well, although the Order of the Phoenix is quite strong on its side, the A Society was the first to ...... It really started with Sony's thighs.
At that time, the code of "Plants vs. Zombies" was outsourced by Senxia to Wang Qiwen.
It can be said that because of this incident, if Wang Qiwen is allowed to leave the house, as long as he shows his identity, he can immediately find a lucrative job in game development, and this is because of this game.
"Okay, okay, but that's it. Sen Xia said, "I'm going to make a shooting game, and I'm going to go to a big eastern country to pass the trial, and I want you to help me." ”
"Shooting games, what are you going to do?"
“GGO。 Well...... Eat Chicken ...... Phew, I mean, a game like Battle Royale, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to pass the trial, since you're here, I'll say hello first. ”
In 2002, many of the plans on Senxia's side were also launched.
And one of the games that Senxia attaches the most importance to is GGO.
It's said to be GGO.,It's actually a game of eating chicken.,It's just that Sen Xia's side.,It's just the skin of GGO.。
"Understood. "I'm familiar with that, but I still have to change what needs to be changed." ”
"Hmm. It's not bloody, but I'm afraid of moths. Senxia said.
In fact, if there is a moth, he can solve it, but the process is more troublesome.
"By the way, there is a very popular game in China recently, called "Legend", you know, right?" After Wang Qiwen finished talking about these things, he suddenly said another thing, which was an interesting thing he recently discovered in China.
"I know, I'm concerned. "Senxia didn't lie.
The game is really hot right now. On the one hand, because there is little choice, and on the other hand, this game is indeed a "groundbreaking PVP game" now.
"The game boss has also said before that he wants to log in to the Kirin computer. "Senxia still remembers this stubble.
Although the fate of "Legend" is different from that of another worldline, it is still a very popular game.
Sen Xia Ji, the people here seem to have an ambitious plan, saying that they want to land on the Kirin computer platform.
But after Sen Xia finished speaking, Wang Qiwen laughed happily.
"It's not from the stick country, it's the domestic agent himself. But the plan may not work out. ”
"How?"
Boss Chen, who represents "Legend", is a strange person, although he makes money from games, but he looks down on games and just wants to suck blood from games, so Senxia has never regarded them as opponents.
But people are really powerful, and seeing the development trend of Kirin computers, it's not impossible to imagine wanting to make a new version of the game by yourself.
But what does Wang Qiwen's statement mean?
"The development team of "Legend" in China was packaged and poached. Wang Qiwen said, "I did it by matchmaking." ”
"Uh......"
Mori Xia is embarrassed and has a god.
Wang Qiwen, you big pig's trotters, why didn't I find out that you were so ruthless before?
Sen Xia really didn't find that Wang Qiwen could do such a thing.
"Uh- it's not me. I just pulled a line, the person who did this is Boss Shi, he used to make a fortune in Hanka, and then he went to other industries, and now he wants to make games when he goes around, so I helped. But I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, as soon as he set up a shelf, he was directly packed and taken away. Wang Qiwen hurriedly explained.
"This is really ruthless. Mori Xia also nodded.
This is not only ruthless, it is simply life-threatening.
People have just formed a team to expand their business, and they have directly destroyed their team, which is tantamount to destroying all the preparatory work of others, and the loss of time and money is very large, and the team that has been set up with great difficulty has also been used as a wedding dress for others.
However, Mori Xia did not sympathize, on the contrary, he gloated.
Boss Chen has no respect for the game, and completely treats the game as a cash cow.
On another world line, the online gamers of a large eastern country were spurned and had bad reviews, just because there were too many hangings, and this open-hanging atmosphere was brought up from Boss Chen.
Boss Chen's "Legend" not only has plug-ins, but even later, there are also their own people who sell plug-ins and engage in plug-ins by themselves - the game operation company makes its own plug-ins, can you believe it?
In the game "Legend", people abound, and the official attitude is very unclear, and then the game simply developed to the level of "no plug-in, no legend", which shows the rampant cheating of plug-ins.
Later, their game company represented another game called Dragon Nest, and this time the insiders intensified and began to peddle offline hookups.
The so-called offline hook-up means that you don't need to log in to the game, you can directly use the plug-in software to access the game's data interface and complete the data handover, so that the characters in the game can be automatically hung up and upgraded. This kind of plug-in is very advanced, and it is difficult to make it without the cooperation of insiders, but in the game "Dragon Nest", this kind of plug-in is basically available after the server is opened.
It is precisely because of Boss Chen's actions that it has gradually become the trend of online games in a large eastern country, and later, many people even take it for granted and justified.
And the culprit of all this, there is no doubt that "Legend" and Boss Chen need to take a lot of responsibility.
So for Boss Chen's deflatedness, Senxia is still quite happy to hear about it.
It is impossible for Senxia to take care of this third-party matter, and it is actually quite taboo for the official to get involved in this kind of thing, so Senxia just listened.
"This kind of strong PVP game, the development of live-action PVP, I feel quite normal. Senxia teased.
"Haha, yes. But I think it's a game value thing. But everybody likes it, and I don't have anything to say. Wang Qiwen shook his head.
Wang Qiwen, who has seen the market, actually doesn't like this kind of game that imitates darkness very much, and he has also seen more games with better graphics, so the taste has long been raised.
But when Sen Xia looked at Wang Qiwen's appearance, he probably understood.
Wang Qiwen probably doesn't like this kind of strong interactive game.
Many people are playing online games as stand-alone, this kind of game that requires strong interaction, can't be said to be bad, but when you encounter this kind of "online stand-alone party", you will definitely not be able to pee in a night pot.
Or rather, it's strange that they can play a game together in harmony.
- One party wants to play games and watch the plot, and the other party thinks about making trouble and killing people, which can be said to go together, it's strange.
"What the people like to see is the best. Everyone has this kind of psychology of comparison, and it's good for someone to be satisfied, if it's not this game, so there will definitely be another game that comes into being. ”
"yes, so I'd love to see more interesting games as well. Boss Shi happened to be quite interested in this piece, so I helped out. When the time comes, his new game will probably compete with Legends on our Kirin computer. Wang Qiwen said.
"Oh, then it doesn't have much to do with us, as long as they don't go too far, this kind of competition is pretty good. Mori Xia said, "Oh, by the way, what is this game going to be called." ”
"I remember being told to me before...... I want to think about it......" Wang Qiwen thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"By the way, I remembered. This game is called "Journey". Positive energy games. ”
Senxia: "......"
......
In this world line, when the game "Journey" was developed, the boss did dig up a lot of backbones of "Legend......
