Chapter 335: Future Warrior
Gu Biao has been involved in game consoles for three years, and the game console industry in this world has been changed a lot by him.
Gu Biao rarely wants to decide whether to develop a game based on the memories or foresight of his previous life, and he prefers to cultivate a scientific decision-making R&D evaluation team, rather than letting him personally open his mind.
Sooner or later, something will happen to the brain, after all, the butterfly effect is so turbulent.
Some games that have become popular in history, or even exploded, are not necessarily perfect in themselves.
The reason why it is popular is that consumer aesthetics happen to be in such a state in this historical situation. If consumers see too many other tactile bypass works that didn't exist in history, they may not like a game that should be made by God.
Gu Biao is deeply in awe of this point, he believes in science, not in prophets.
Therefore, when he had to open his mouth this time, his attitude was very gentle, in the spirit of discussing with Yang Hao and Li Kaifu on an equal footing, hoping that if they felt that there was a problem, they would raise it immediately.
"My vision is this, I'm going to develop a shooter, but it's not a game like Earth Defender where you move up and down, left and right in a small plane to shoot/dodge enemy bullets. I wanted to combine the elements of MapleStory jumping and dodging obstacles with the elements of a shooter.
It's still a side-scrolling refresh-style map.,But the protagonist is a human soldier.,Affected by gravity.,Jumping and falling off obstacles will die directly.,And then there must be a boss in each level.,The enemy's element design can be so diverse...... Hey, that's all about slowly, you can think up for yourself, I don't limit your thinking. As for the name of the game, it's called "Future Soldier". β
Gu Biao said that, and quietly observed the reactions of Yang Hao and Li Kaifu.
There is no doubt that the "Future Soldier" mentioned by Gu Biao is actually the "Soul Fighter" that Chinese players after the 80s in the later generations are so familiar that they can't be more familiar.
It's just that the name "Contra" is obviously some strange thing set in Japanese kanji. Since it is now Gu Biao who wants to do it, not what Konami wants to do, there is no reason to call Contra Douluo again.
Moreover, Gu Biao doesn't want to interfere with the background plot of the game anymore - the historical Contra, the reason why the enemy has an alien in the end, and the background setting is that alien creatures attack the earth, all because the year before the game was launched, it happened to be the fire of James Cameron's movie "Alien 2", so Konami played a little bit of a sideball and played against the popularity of alien creatures.
Now, the game has appeared several years in advance, so it's definitely not appropriate to rub off on the popularity of the alien.
But Gu Biao had another way.
He filmed Cameron's "The Terminator", and all the copyright and adaptation rights are in his hands. He hopes that his colleagues in the game development team will naturally think of taking advantage of the popularity of "Terminator".
Spontaneous, of course. Only when they think of it themselves, can they play well, and the boss of the company personally interferes with this kind of small matter at the level of art design, which is too profitable.
Gu Biao just led them to think about the idea of "fighting against the future robot army", and it would be good to turn the final enemy from an alien into a robot.
As for the game's graphics and mechanics, it can be no different from the historical "Contra", anyway, when the historical Contra appeared, it was also a Nintendo FC machine, and the function was not as good as the current Gu Biao version of the home machine.
It's nothing more than 3 years late, so the chips and storage functions in the game cartridge have become more awesome, the game capacity can be larger, and it is even equipped with a special audio output chip.
These can all be overcome, such as changing the shimmering starry sky background and the swaying palm leaves in the shadows of the Japanese version of "Contra" in history to a whole rigid texture like the American version. These are all necessary deletions that save function and cooperate with the old version of the machine, and there is no difficulty.
IT'S JUST LIKE SOME GAMES ON PC IN LATER GENERATIONS, THE EXTREME PICTURE QUALITY SETTING IS VERY AWESOME, AND PORTED TO PS4 OR XBOX-ONE TO DIRECTLY DELETE SOME IMAGE QUALITY OPTIONS, A REASON.
β¦β¦
"I get a rough idea of what you mean, and when I get back to San Francisco, I'll be sure to add more people to discuss the development of this Future Soldier. β
After listening carefully to Gu Ao's inspiration, Yang Haozai respectfully said that he would accept the task indicators in full and would not disappoint his boss.
Gu Biao finally added: "I still have one more request: on the opening screen of the game, a bust of the protagonist must be pasted with a higher resolution, and the protagonists who can reflect the doubles are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone, two iron-blooded men." I'm sure you'll understand that Arnold was the main character of Terminator, which I shot last year, and I wanted to make the most of his character to endorse the game. In addition, Stallone will also have a heavy visual masterpiece this year, and I will talk about the advertising fee, so you don't have to worry. β
Yang Hao's heart sank slightly: "Then do we want us to reflect the character image in other aspects?"
Gu Biao: "No, you are in charge of software development, and you are not in charge of the overall product - packaging design, cassette printing, I will have special art and design, you don't need to know." β
Yang proudly thought about it and accepted this setting.
He really wasn't familiar with the overall business process of developing a game in the "cassette" model.
Originally, the arcade machines they made did not have manuals, and the arcade owner naturally had a delivery after-sales service responsible for teaching them how to play after they bought it. There is also no such thing as a nicely printed texture on the cassette itself.
And these channels are all good places for home console games to promote the background of IP endorsement.
"Okay, then we'll go back and make arrangements. β
"Well, remember to tell Schulhoff about my decision, and I'll call him again and ask him to openly discuss the feasibility at the meeting, I don't like to talk about it. When Gu Biao sent the horses out of the door, he pretended to say.
He certainly wasn't because he didn't like Yiyantang.
He just wanted an open, enemy-spied reason to go to Vancouver, the kind of grandiose one.
The business has done Gu Biao's current part, and he has made waves so many times, he believes that his approximate whereabouts will be found and filed by the Britannian Military Intelligence Service.
The reason why the other party is not determined to mess around is nothing more than because many of his previous coincidences have been very exquisite, and the other party is not sure. It was Qin Guogang and Giuseppe who carried away the hatred value for him.
In other words, if Qin Guogang dared to go to Canada today, he might be attacked by someone for no reason. If Giuseppe dares to go to Brittanya itself, the end will not be much better.
Gu Biao has always been under a slightly doubtful label of "potentially harmful".
Originally, he never left Watson throughout September.
But when my mind calms down, I often think about what excuse I want to go to Vancouver, personally sit in the investigation, and plan the follow-up sniping.
Ticket records are easy to find, and he can't go to Seattle incognito in the United States.
In this case, it is better to leave a record of the justified reasons, so as not to let others guess blindly - for example, because Stallone is now filming "First Blood" in Hope Town, Vancouver, Gu Biao went to Stallone to talk about endorsements for his own game console business and for the first first-party game to open up the situation.
On the cover of "Contra" in history, the two macho men with a bit of cartoon style are undoubtedly Arnold and Stallone. In the 82-year home game console market, it is also the consensus of the industry to introduce movie IP adaptation.
Atari spent $25 million on the ET aliens. Under the backdrop of Atari, in order to invite Stallone, Gu Biao personally negotiated as the boss, which is reasonable, and it will not seem abrupt or condescending at all.
Of course, even Schulhoff, the president of Tiankun (USA), will not know about these thoughts, he will only know that "the boss asked him to organize and talk about endorsements with Stallone". Gu Biao will even hide all his subordinates, so that in the future, all his subordinates will become his "alibi witnesses" when he cheats the Vancouver property market.
Gu Biao found that he had become a master of creating alibi evidence, looking for the backstabber, and then getting out of his shell.
is worthy of being Kissinger's protΓ©gΓ©, even in the secret diplomatic world, he can be said to be as slippery as a yellow eel, and no one can catch his tail.
The Bretonians died at the hands of Gu Biao, not unjustly.
β¦β¦
Schulhoff soon followed Gu's instructions and organized several internal project meetings in Silicon Valley.
After intense discussions, the Future Soldier development plan was quickly approved and communicated in an internal document. Although this game has not yet been publicized to the public, at least it has been known by some insiders through the gossip of the company's employees themselves.
In the case that Gu Biao deliberately leaked the hype, together with their old rival Atari Company, they all knew.
Then, Atari openly dissed Tiankun Entertainment's new work at a public industry conference and other occasions, which was nothing more than saying, "I will only follow our Atari style, and learn from it in the future, we bought ET alien adaptation, and Gu Biao will only use his own "Terminator" to fry cold rice, there is a kind of way that you don't learn from movie adaptations." β
Of course, these words also reached the ears of the relevant intelligence services.
After entering October, after studying with Kissinger for five weeks in An'an, Gu Biao finally took a relatively long vacation to deal with his business affairs.
He flew to the West Coast once, showed his face at the company's headquarters in San Francisco, and publicly choked Atari, criticizing Atari for not caring about making games, and for saying things that were not nutritious.
Then, he openly declared in an internal meeting that he would personally grasp the work of game endorsements, raise it to the highest priority, and he personally negotiated with the stars.
The Atari side laughed when they heard the news, and the intelligence agencies also secretly sprayed Gu Biao's young ambition and getting carried away, and he dared to follow the same path as Atari and compete head-on, which was really too incompetent.
