Chapter 44: Street Fighter [Subscription Requested!

Some people think that illusory works have no connection with real life, but Takahashi feels that it is like people who don't know what real "ghosts" look like, and can only imagine them through things they have already seen or other people's fantasies, but in the final analysis, it is based on real imagination.

Therefore, in the role-playing games of Wanhu, there are some very interesting small plots, these plots may not be the main plot, or even just a sentence, maybe the younger players don't think this sentence has any meaning at all, but the older players, or the younger players, will look back on the game in the future, but they will find that these games are so interesting.

Takahashi frowned and looked at the report in front of him, since Wanhu hadn't launched a new arcade game for a while, Wanhe's income from arcade games had fallen to a level of "non-profiteering".

Someone below submitted an application to make a new arcade game, but Takahashi didn't want to invest more money in the arcade game.

Because, he knows that in terms of the general trend, the arcade industry will inevitably decline.

The reason for the decline is also very simple, that is, it is becoming more and more convenient to play games, you can play at home, you can play on the road, and the quality of arcade games is not something that can make the vast majority of gamers addicted to it.

Although the current home game console cannot be completely replaced, there is no need to completely replace it.

Some manufacturers, in order to make their home consoles fully compatible with arcade games, have adopted extremely high specifications in hardware, although they are already very cheap compared to arcade machines, from hundreds of thousands of yen to millions of yen, compressed by tens of thousands of yen and miniaturized, but it is still too expensive.

Moreover, the main users are still those hardcore gamers who play arcade games. Although, playing arcade does not necessarily save money, and it is common to spend tens of thousands of yen in a month or two, but it is really ...... for these players to spend tens of thousands of yen to buy an arcade home console and spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to buy a card

The reason why Takahashi frowned was not because he thought that the arcade market would be at risk of shrinking, and that now might be the best time to abandon the platform.

He frowned on the R&D cost and production cost of an arcade platform.

Although Wanhu has its own chip manufacturing plant, it is not possible to manufacture chips of any specification, and now the highest level is to integrate several chips of red and white machines into one.

Although the electronic components of the arcade machine cannot be produced completely, such as the central processing unit, it cannot be produced in-house, and can only be purchased externally.

Although there are so many electronic components to choose from, it is not easy to make a machine with strong performance.

Takahashi walked to the archives and checked out the arcade game proposals made by the employees. After looking at it for several hours, there was not a satisfactory proposal.

The proposals are not constructive, either too far ahead of their time, far beyond the performance limits that can be achieved by the machine, or completely out of the player's level of acceptance. And the other part,Although down-to-earth more,But it's only a secondary development on the existing game,Lack of innovation,Although it won't lose money,But Wanhu hasn't fallen into that kind of game sea tactics。

Forget it, let's go to the arcade and check it out.

Takahashi put down the file and felt that it was better to actually look at the real game than just look at the description on paper.

There is a loss of communication between people, whether it is the communication of words or the communication of words. The meaning of what the listener and the viewer hear is hardly the original version that the expressor and the writer want to express.

There will be a certain amount of "loss" and "distortion", so there will be idioms such as three people becoming a tiger.

Although there are very few games, from the description of the copy, you can know that this game is interesting and can be made.

However, the vast majority of games will only know that they are fun until they are actually played.

It's like "Tetris", which supports half of the country, so that one person who has played it, and another person who has not played it, can describe what is fun about this game, and it is basically impossible to describe it clearly.

Therefore, the production of games in the industry has gradually evolved from simple copywriting to making game samples. And a game without a game sample, which says that a certain point is the same as a certain game, so that you can establish an intuitive impression.

Although it is still unavoidable, it can also make people imagine what the game will look like in their minds, and know where and why the game is fun.

Takahashi is a celebrity, and even from an artist's point of view, Takahashi's popularity is what countless artists dream of.

High popularity has the benefit of high popularity, but it is still too difficult to "sneak" into the arcade.

Takahashi sneaked into the arcade hall several times to play games, but basically failed, so Takahashi directly opened an arcade hall directly under Wanhu headquarters in Wanhe.

In this way, he just swaggered into the arcade hall. The first time I was watched, the second time I was watched, and the third and fourth times everyone was used to Takahashi's arrival.

Well...... Of course, there are still many players who choose to challenge Takahashi.

Takahashi is generally receptive, but he is not as keen to win as he used to be, he plays very casually, winning and losing.

The winner can blow for a year, and the loser does not feel lost, but feels very happy.

Walking into the arcade hall directly under 10,000 households, Takahashi's first feeling was "decline".

Although every machine in the arcade is still almost idle, it is much worse than the heyday, when the aisles were full of people and the room smelled of sweat.

The same is true of the data provided to Takahashi by the investigators of 10,000 households, although the income of the arcade hall has not dropped significantly, because although there were many people in the past, there were so many arcades, and they operated 24 hours a day, and the income was also capped.

However, the daily traffic of the arcade has dropped considerably.

On the one hand, this is because arcade halls are becoming more and more profitable, and there are more and more new arcade halls, and secondly, because home game consoles, such as Sega and co-consoles, have been able to produce games that are good in terms of visuals and gameplay, and can compete slightly with arcade games, and third, there is no game type that can re-lead the era of arcade games today.

"Hey...... I'm going to win you!" A penetrating voice rang out of the noisy arcade environment to Takahashi's ears, and Takahashi walked over to see the two characters on the screen fighting each other.

He looked up at the nameplate of the arcade machine, Street Fighter.
