When Takahashi learned of Richie's new idea, he felt that there were times when fate was so interesting.

In the previous description, the outline of a game can be clearly born, and this game is the "Grand Theft Auto" and "Rampage" series.

In another world, the series was originally released on Nintendo's Super White-Buck Entertainment System.

Although the core of the game is already the core of the future, it tells the legendary life of an underworld element.

But......

There are many differences in the specific gameplay.

The two main installments of Grand Theft Auto on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System used the top-down view elements that were more popular at the time.

Although the specific process is similar to the future "Grand Theft Auto".

However, the sales of "Grand Theft Auto" without three-dimensional are only considered second-rate levels in the first line.

It wasn't until they abandoned the weak console platform and embraced the personal computer platform that they launched an epoch-making three-dimensional game, Grand Theft Auto, that the fame of the game suddenly took off.

The name of this game is Vice City.

The reason why the previous two-dimensional plane top-down view of "Grand Theft Auto" was not as popular as later was because the top-down view of "Grand Theft Auto" did not have that feeling very real.

However, Vice City is a game that made the Grand Theft Auto franchise famous, not only because of the quality of its gameplay.

It was also because of a seventeen-year-old black boy who imitated the scene in the game where he woke up from the police station and killed more than 20 police officers all the way out of the police station.

That's right, in the real world, slaughtering the police as if in a game.

I remember that the surviving eyewitnesses described the boy as not very old, but his hand holding the gun was very steady, and his shooting was very accurate, even much more accurate than that of us old policemen.

We really don't know if the devil controlled his will?

Of course, when this "demon" arrives in the newspapers, it is equated with a "video game".

At the same time, all stores in the United States have removed the already popular "Vice City" from the shelves.

R-Star, the studio that produced the Grand Theft Auto series, is in a huge crisis.

Along with this black young man, he is famous for being Vice City from the Grand Theft Auto franchise that was found in his house.

Computer data shows that he played the game for more than 300 hours.

You know, this game has only been released for a little over a month.

All the fingers are pointed at Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a game that has been completely removed from the shelves, but has ushered in a wave of buying frenzy in the underground black market.

You know, the United States is a free country.

Not only freedom for capital, but also freedom for criminals.

A homicidal maniac like a boy, even if he doesn't have a penny of his own, has a lawyer who is willing to defend his innocence for free.

If the defense is successful, he will be the first choice of all those with similar criminal tendencies.

That's a lot of money.

And the freedom of the United States is also reflected in another point, that is, the pursuit of murderers.

It's not that the American people don't understand what the meaning of life is, but there are quite a few people who, for a variety of reasons, pursue murderous maniacs.

So, an interesting thing arises.

Although after the serial mutation (meow) state murderer was discovered, his murderous career was retired.

But he will not be sentenced to death in prison, but he can get more money by publishing books and giving interviews.

After all, when they were caught, he was already a star, there were so many people who pursued him, and capital chose him, it was difficult for him not to become famous.

When Rich finds Takahashi, Takahashi gives Rich a few suggestions.

The first is to suggest that he make a flat version of the game.

Although today's computers can already represent the three-dimensional game world, the poor three-dimensional performance can probably only satisfy the relatively simple and easy-to-optimize games like "Tricky Neighbor".

For example, the underworld game he wants to make must be an unusually large scene, and even simulate the existence of a real city.

Nowadays, 3D can only realize the inside of the house, if you want to realize the wide scene outside, unless you use the method of broadcasting, although the city is very large, but the distance is actually a sticker such a deceptive method.

Or use the fog to lock your field of vision into a very narrow range.

What's the point of using a vista map that doesn't make the game that big?

If the fog scheme is adopted, is this a dark force game or a horror game?

So, Takahashi's first suggestion was to let Richie make a 2D version of the game first, accumulate experience in making such games, and wait for the development of hardware.

The second piece of advice is for him to focus on the relationship between the virtual and the real in the game.

Although many people believe that the boy kills because he has a problem with his own brain, it has nothing to do with video games.

Does the fact that every sinner breathes air mean that all those who breathe air are bad people?

However, it would be a bit irresponsible to say that the boy went to the police station to kill double-digit cops in a row and had nothing to do with Grand Theft Auto.

While Grand Theft Auto doesn't kill people, the disc that stores the game's content doesn't kill people, and the computer loaded with the game doesn't jump up and punch people in the face.

But it's too nonsense to really play Mukura, and the people who use Mukura are guilty.

Fantasy and reality need to be separated, and games like Grand Theft Auto can exist, but they must be distinguished from reality.

Takahashi hopes that video games will one day become like a movie.

There are well-known art films, and there are popcorn movies that can hold the market.

He didn't want the day when video games would become something that couldn't even be talked about.

Therefore, he hopes that there will be some self-discipline within the industry.

Of course, he has not yet imposed this kind of thinking on others.

He was just a suggestion to Richie.

However, Richie clearly took Takahashi's advice very seriously.

While all but Tricky Neighbors had been forgotten and his brain was boiling to make this new dark power game, Rich threw himself into a new job.

Unlike Tricky Neighbors, this game is bound to be made on a larger scale, requiring more effort and more people.

In other words, it's a very money-burning idea.

The sales share of "Tricky Neighbor" was far away from him, so he sent an invitation letter to Wanhu to invite investment.
