Chapter 6 Game Developers Conference
The Tokyo Game Show was held this time, which not only provided Wanhu with more experience in holding large-scale events, but also let Wanhu know how to hold such exhibitions in the future.
However, although the Tokyo Game Show is over. But the overall activity is not over yet.
After the Tokyo Game Show, there is also a Tokyo Game Developers Conference.
Unlike the Tokyo Game Show, the organizer of the Tokyo Game Developers Conference is Manho Co., Ltd. directly.
At the GDC, different game developers from different countries will directly present their games. There's even a live game developer contest. It is divided into groups of 24, 48 and 72 hours. The organizers will give a theme, and the developers will develop the game according to that theme within a limited time.
Wanhu didn't mean to waste resources at all, and they cooperated with TV Tokyo to directly record these games into a set of programs to be broadcast on "Takahashi's Party".
Today's "Takahashi's Party" has evolved from the traditional invitation of a group of artists and stars to play video games, to a large-scale entertainment project divided into different topics.
It's like the video at the Game Developers Conference, although the players can only watch a rough idea, and if you really ask them if they can understand it, they can't actually read it.
But they love it!
They also want to know how the games they usually play were born.
Of course, during the development period, Wanhu also provided a set of development tools. This set of development tools can greatly improve the efficiency of game development.
Well...... In a sense, this is also the purpose of Wanhu holding this event.
It is through such a competition that all game developers are told that Wanhu's game development kit can make it more convenient to develop games. It's a more convenient set of productivity tools.
Of course, Wan Hu will not say this at the end of the game. However, smart people should know and know it.
Needless to say, the price of Wanhu's development kit and hardware is only $5,888. The cost per person is $1,888. This price can be said to be very cheap.
You know, it is so convenient and cheap to make development kits, but tens of thousands of households have invested in double-digit hundreds of thousands of large-scale development machines, and they have only found the way little by little.
Of course, this is not only thanks to the engineers of Wanhu, but also to the engineers of chip manufacturers, as well as Moore's Law.
At the Game Developers Conference, there were even more game developers from the United States than from the United States.
This is not to say that there are far more people in the United States who are engaged in game development than there are other game developers in the United States. Let the home advantage, Bendu bow down.
It's that the two countries have different modes of operation for game production.
The U.S. has a studio system, and nowadays game production studios are often independent of publishers. Publishers buy out their games with money, and they make games at their own expense.
On the other hand, it is almost a monopoly model of large companies. Although it is also the model of the project team, the water only flows within the company.
The company is reluctant to let the water in their bottles come out of the competition. Even if you think of water, you can't do it.
In contrast, game makers in the United States have more freedom, and if they want to participate in competitions, they can participate in competitions more freely.
The reason why Wanhu asked them to participate in the competition was also to let them join Wanhu's system.
Now, with the blessing of Wanhu and the efforts of Sega, Sega's MD has gradually surpassed Nintendo's red and white machine.
The reason why it can be surpassed is that on the one hand, the graphics of the Sega MD are better and the game is okay, and on the other hand, because the price of the Sega MD is cheaper. It's only a measly $249. Compared with the 16-bit console of the Sega MD, the red and white machine, which has twice the number of digits, still sells for $299.
You know, in the consumer electronics market, fifty dollars has been able to influence the choice of many players.
However, Nintendo still has a good number of holdings in the United States. It is not easy for Sega to beat Nintendo in the US market.
In contrast, in the European market, Sega is a little more relaxed.
And this can be regarded as a bonus.
The reason why it is a surprise is because the sports game developed by Wanhu and the football game developed by Wanhu have become popular in Europe.
Europe is the world's favorite country to watch football games, and the number of potential football video game consumers is also innumerable.
Those middle-aged uncles who have a big belly and can no longer play football often play a game of football.
Wanhu's football game, although it can still only be regarded as simple, or even just a god-like rather than a shape.
However, it has been able to comfort the hearts of these fans.
If the finals of such an emerging card game as "Game of Destiny" are concerned, it touches the hearts of millions of people. Then, the finals of the football European Cup will affect the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.
Of course, it is not only Wanhu that has launched football games, but also Electronic Arts in the United States has also withdrawn from football games.
However, their games are much less playable than Wanhe's, so their sales are an order of magnitude less than Wanhu's soccer games.
However, both of them are fighting for the naming rights of FIFA at this time.
This is unreasonable to outsiders, at least in the eyes of the video game making community.
Although Sega's MD is sixteen hosts, ah, players or something, it's still a mosaic. In such a situation, it is simply impossible to see the faces of the players. And if you want to see the number on the ball, it takes a lot of effort.
And in such a situation, Electronic Arts and Yueben Wanhu actually fought for the naming rights of the World Cup, and spent an unknown amount of money, which is a bit too nonsense.
However, Wanhu's side is under Takahashi's leadership. When Electronic Arts competed for the naming rights of FIFA, it first took the naming rights of the Champions League in his hands.
Although it is still talking nonsense with the World Football Confederation over there, the next game can directly use the Champions League title to launch a wave first.
You know, now the country in the world that loves both football and video games can afford to spend money. But there are only these countries in Europe.
Countries like Brazil, although they also like football. But there are too many slums to afford to play video games, and people in rich areas don't bother to play video games.
For people in affluent areas, the real world is a big video game.
Although you can't do whatever you want, you can be unscrupulous.
