Chapter 10 Reflections [Asking for Recommendation Votes!
Action games are a very broad concept, like the trunk of a big tree. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Is TEC's "Hot Blooded" an action game?
Is Nintendo's Mario Bros. an action game?
Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. is still not an action game?
However, TEC's "Bloody Hardcore" belongs to the beat 'em up category, Nintendo's "Mario Bros." is a single-screen jumping game, and Super Mario Bros. is a side-scrolling game.
However, as long as it is an action game, it emphasizes the player's reflexes and hand-eye coordination.
There are many types of classic action games that Takahashi can think of, but he is unsure about which genre to do.
The process of playing a game is actually a process of cultivating game habits, and the games played before will cultivate his aesthetics for future games and the choice of future games.
For example, arcade players have an obvious threshold for accepting "Endless Fantasy", because the slow-paced "stepping on mines" style monsters, the slow story rhythm, and turn-based fights are different from the attributes of fast-paced arcade games. Such a game is simply impossible to appear on an arcade platform.
Just like people who are used to eating Chinese food, they will not be comfortable with eating foreign food, and players who are used to playing arcade games, players can use games with obvious arcade attributes on the machine, but it is more difficult to accept playing "Endless Fantasy".
Similarly, players who are used to playing single-player games may not be used to playing "Honor of Kings".
This is because one is more focused on exploring in a single-player world, while the other is a five-on-five team battle.
Of course, this does not mean that those who play this kind of game are more advanced than those who play that kind of game, and there are different tastes, but it is difficult to say whether there is a high or low.
Although it is said that it is so, it has also formed a relatively obvious chain of disdain, because Wanhu's arcade games have never been mainstream, and games like "Endless Fantasy" have been produced. Therefore, there are many arcade players who have a great sense of superiority and say, "The people who play the game are preschoolers!"
However, when they said this, they all tacitly expelled Tetris from the ranks of 10,000 games.
If someone asks them, why do you still play Tetris every day when you don't like Wanhu?
"What do you know? Tetris is a game of 10,000 households? This is obviously made by the Soviets. Wanhu used despicable means to get the copyright of "Tetris"!"
The reason why this player said this is that the ass decides the head, because Tetris is now the most expensive game in the world today.
Although video games are very popular, almost all game manufacturers at this stage are not enough to expand the game peripherals.
There is such a thing as holding game competitions, although arcade tournaments are often the case. However, there are very few large-scale competitions organized by manufacturers.
Because, the arcade hall holds a competition, which can immediately attract many people to challenge and increase the income of the arcade.
However, when manufacturers hold competitions, the benefits are either not direct or obvious. Originally, it was an order of magnitude of 100,000 copies sold a month, and it was still an order of 100,000 a month after the event, who can tell which part of the reason is.
and, holding a game competition, whether it is useful or useless.
In addition to the directly affiliated arcade arcade, the seller's game cartridge and the sale of arcade machines are all a one-shot deal. This kind of high-investment but no return on the situation is something that manufacturers will do only if they are crazy.
Although they followed the whole process of the game, and even the final was watched at a glance, they still refused to do it if they really wanted them to do it.
It's not that Takahashi looks down on these colleagues now, but these peers are like Dongfang Grande and the Iron Rooster, who have earned the money in their hands, and if they really let them take it out again, they won't want to.
Vision.
In Takahashi's view, the only manufacturers that meet these four words are Sega and Nintendo, which are obsessed with hardware and are quite reliable.
For Hudson and other manufacturers, who have begun to develop their own home game consoles, Takahashi is not optimistic.
Although Sega is already very much in pursuit of advanced technology, they are even more than Sega. I even want to stuff the miniaturization of the arcade machine into a plastic case and sell it as a host.
Can it be made?
Yes.
But is the cost acceptable?
No.
Although the performance is good, it is expensive. The sales of home consoles are extremely sensitive to price, and there are naturally not many people who buy expensive prices.
If there are not many people who buy it, it will not be able to play the role of a platform. Gradually, it enters a vicious circle.
This is also the reason why although there are non-Sega manufacturers who hand olive branches to Wanhu, Takahashi does not accept them.
The rabble.
Although it seems that a group of big game manufacturers make a home game console together, in fact, there is no backbone, and it will be a waste of energy to involve each other, and the final console must not be the perfect console that everyone expects, but a compromise product.
Price compromise, performance compromise, it can be said that there is no one side.
Since Takahashi stopped playing for a while, "Hot Blooded Hardcore" started the demo screen, and Takahashi's eyes were slightly confused looking at the picture on the TV.
Because the "Player's Heart" evaluation team is responsible for raising the player's gate. So, it's not Nintendo's red and white machine that's being used here.
Rather, it is an all-in-one machine authorized by Nintendo and made by Sharp.
This kind of all-in-one machine is expensive,As high as more than 400,000 yen,Compared with the red and white machine in the early 10,000 yen,If you buy this TV red and white machine all-in-one machine,It's definitely a true love fan,Definitely a fanatical player。
So, what are the advantages of such an exaggerated all-in-one machine?
The advantage is obvious, that is, the display is very good and can provide the best picture.
The best picture, the most fidelity picture, is more conducive to taking photos, therefore, this model of Sharp red and white machine compatible machine, although expensive, but it has become the first choice for domestic players to play all game-related media and extreme players.
In fact, since its release for more than half a year, sales have exceeded 10,000 units.
However, Takahashi didn't think about this, as a practitioner, he hadn't touched any miracle. He was so used to the things that players were delighted with that they were abnormal.
What he was thinking about now was the difference between this game and American games, that is, the difference between Japanese games and American games.
Why Japanese games have been able to dominate the world since the 80s, and why Japanese games have begun to gradually withdraw from the mainstream market in the 21st century, where they are getting better and better.
Takahashi felt that if he could figure this out, he would know what he should do with a new action game.
Why, exactly?
Takahashi pondered.
