Chapter 480: Capcom Puzzle
The so-called spark can start a prairie fire.
So what if it's a monstrous fire?
There's no scum left!
A fighting game style brought up by the King of Fighters.
In a short period of time, in addition to the Age of Miracles, there are countless people who are imitating or even plagiarizing......
However, fighting games are not something that can be done in a day or two.
A lot of things are made, and the tiger can't be an anti-dog.
Character modeling, scene design, striking feel and other aspects, it is not a day's work to be excellent.
Capcom has swept the street battles that countless people love in less than a month, and they are a little helpless for a while!
Although half of the summer vacation has passed at this moment, if you don't do something, players are all in love with the fighting games of Age of Wonders during this period, it means that other manufacturers can only take three points back in the same field!
But when it's all right, there's really no fighting game on hand to compete with!!
Kenzo Tsujimoto felt a dull pain in his head!
"Shinji Mikami, do you have any good ideas?" Kenzo Tsujimoto had to learn from his game producers.
Eh, Shinji Mikami looked around, among the people present, there were many people who were stronger than him, why did he mention his name.
"My personal advice is to avoid the Age of Wonders, they're too strong! So far, they haven't tasted defeat! Since they specialize in fighting games, it's better to ...... Let's go in a different direction......"
As a new member of Capcom's Fourth Development Department, Shinji Mikami's speech actually spoke the hearts of many people.
But......
Kenzo Tsujimoto doesn't want to hear that!
Avoiding without fighting, this is not the spirit of bushido!
A person who has just joined the company for a short time actually retreats in the face of a strong enemy?
If this continues, won't Capcom have no successor??
"If you don't change direction, what else can you do. Kenzo Tsujimoto tried to calm his voice down.
Now is not the time to go berserk, dealing with a small employee, there is no need to do it on this occasion.
"If we can't defeat Age of Wonders head-on, then players will think that we Capcom are incompetent! "The person who spoke was Tokuro Fujiwara.
As the head of Capcom's second development department, "Little Brother Pig", "Demon Village" and other proud achievements represent the weight of his words!
At this point, except for people like Shinji Mikami, who just graduated and came to intern, the other old guys are very clear!
"Yes. ”
"Of course I do!"
"Yes!!"
"Yes, though, we're in this area for a short time...... It doesn't seem to be able to do much either. Keiji Inaira said with a frown.
"Even if we develop it now, if we want to finish it, we will have to wait until at least the end of the year......"
Keiji Inimafune, the game producer who single-handedly created Mega Man!
His speech made everyone fall into contemplation.
And Shinji Mikami also looked embarrassed.
It's so embarrassing to be involved in such an important memory for the first time, but the ideas put forward are not adopted!
But now the question is also clear!
That's right, even if you really don't change the genre of the game, then ......
With Capcom's strength, it's not something that can be done right away!
"If I'm not mistaken......" Shinji Mikami couldn't help but speak.
"We made most of the games last year...... Later, the game was stopped because Street Fighter sold it...... I read the information, it's also a fighting game......"
Shinji Mikami's remarks aroused the thoughts of some of the people present.
"You mean the game that we gave up?" said Kenzo Tsujimoto.
"That's right. It's not like any other fighting game at all. This sentence made everyone react.
"This one...... When Funamizu-kun left before, no one continued to do it......" Kenzo Tsuji frowned.
To be honest, when he sold Street Fighter at that time, the other party's offer made him sell it to a little-known small game company despite the boat's obstruction.
It's just that he didn't expect that not long after he sold it, the sales in the United States were getting better and better!
So much so that in the blink of an eye, the current street fights have been made!
And, this time, it became so good!
It's as strong as Nintendo and Sega, which have been silent for a month!
If he had known that Street Fighter could be so popular, he wouldn't have sold the game if he was killed!
However......
It's too late to say anything now......
Kenzo Tsujimoto shook his head, now was not the time to think about this: "If you continue to make that game, how soon will it be made?"
"Theoretically, it can be completed in a month, and at the earliest, even half a month is enough, just ......" Fujiwara Tokuro shook his head: "Our current development progress can't be stopped, otherwise we may not be able to make the original planned game on Christmas night this year." ”
"Inafune-kun, what about you?" Tsujimoto Kenzo's gaze shifted to him.
It's just a pity, but the feedback I get is still shaking my head.
There are no people in the second and third development departments, so he has to look at Yoshiki Okamoto, the minister of the first development department!
As the head of the development department, Yoshiki Okamoto is the man who flew with Capcom when he was founded!
The games developed by Yoshiki Okamoto are more famous from generation to generation, whether it is 1942 and 1943, the main creator, or the Red Dead Redemption and the resurrection of the demon who participated in the creation, these games have slowly formed a Okamoto-style style with simple operation and refreshing feel, and the economic benefits he brought to the entire Capcom have gradually made Yoshiki Okamoto become an indispensable backbone of Capcom!
"I can try, but the people who developed the fourth department need to be temporarily transferred to help......" Yoshiki Okamoto met Kenzo Tsujimoto's hopeful gaze, did not refuse ruthlessly, and hesitated for a while before replying.
"No problem, then, can you launch this game during the summer vacation?" said Kenzo Tsujimoto, who was overjoyed!
This is almost a lifesaver! Isn't it just the transfer of manpower?
Anyway, there are no ministers in the four ministries now, and the specific development tasks have not been decided, so there is no rush at all!
The most important thing at the moment is to make a game that can compete with Street Fight!
Otherwise, Capcom's face in the industry will be disgraced!
"Summer vacation, I guess I can only catch up with the tail end of summer vacation......" Yoshiki Okamoto said helplessly.
"Okay, then let's do it!Okamoto-kun, everything...... I'll leave it to you......"
Kenzo Tsujimoto stood up and ended the meeting.
And Shinji Mikami, who was on the side, was also secretly excited!
Soon after I joined the company, I was involved in a big project!
Isn't this an opportunity?
He secretly clenched his fists!
