Looking at Ichiro Fukai, who looked embarrassed and a little dazed, Ken Kutaragi came back to his senses, he asked the wrong person this question, Ichiro Fukai is in charge of the progress of specific game projects, and projects in research and development like camera games, which need more special hardware support, may be clearer to ask Phil Harrison about it, and even Iwata Mitsuko, who is in charge of game hardware research and development, may understand better than Ichiro Fukai.

Kutaragi Ken called everyone together for a meeting today not because of how much direct threat the odor generator attached to the special edition of "Heartbeat Memories 3" can bring, just now everyone mentioned the shortcomings of the odor generator, he also knows that at least it is impossible to set off much storm in a short period of time, unless the Oriental Industrial Group does not hesitate to spend money to promote the odor generator, even then he believes that the follow-up use fee of the odor generator will make many people stay cautious and wait and see.

The reason why I want to listen to the opinions of the audience,Kutaragi Ken is also to confirm his thoughts.,By the way, let's hear if you have any other ideas.,In fact, against the smell generator equipped with the DreamBox128 console,He thinks the best way is to make a new thing on his side to attract the attention of players.,And it must be a gimmick.,Of course, it would be better if there was good sales.,So he remembered the Doctor's camera game that Ichiro Fukai mentioned sometimes.。

"Iwata-kun," Kutaragi Ken thought for a while, and decided to hand over this glorious task to Iwata Mitsuko, "You will contact the North American branch later to find out how the camera game is progressing." ”

"Yes, President!" Iwata stood up and nodded violently, with a resolute expression on his face, as if he had been working on the PS2 console when he first took on the development of the console.

After the meeting, Ken Kutaragi returned to his president's office, stood at the window and looked out, the dark clouds in the sky had long since dissipated at this moment, the thin clouds could no longer stop the reflection of the winter sun, and the high-rise buildings in the city were bathed in golden light and became brighter, just like his mood at the moment.

Before the start of the business war at the end of the year, Ken Kutaragi, who felt deeply constrained, had been worried about what ruthless moves the Oriental Industrial Group would make to continue to suppress the space of PS2, but during this time, he felt that the other party's move was a little fluttering. Even if "Ghost Warrior" Sales are very good,Even with DreamBox128Sales have rebounded,Even if the other party comes up with the gimmick of smell games,Kutaragi Ken feels that it hasn't brought a big blow to PS2,After all, there are also wonderful games here,Although PS2 game consoles can't be sold in North America and Europe for the time being,But after all, it has accumulated millions of units in the early stage,Although it's not as large as DreamBox128,But there is some room for activity,Can run a lot of game sales。

In the midst of the crisis, Ken Kutaragi found a silver lining, and he knew that the coming period was very critical, and he had to find a way to remove the military hat that was currently attached to the PS2, and at least reopen the sales license in North America and Europe, during which he was convinced that if Sony Computer Entertainment could seize the opportunity to launch a killer game, the PS2 console would definitely find a chance to turn around......

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean in the United States, Reg Smallwood is sitting in his living room, holding a gamepad in front of the TV screen, and there is an electronic alarm clock on the cabinet against the wall, the time on it is already 9:12 p.m., since he bought "Halo" back during the day, he has been fighting for almost six hours, and even the food is a take-out pizza called to save precious time.

It's been a long time since I've been so involved in playing a game, and Legacy Smallwood remembers the first time he stayed up late playing a game was when he first came across Quake on a computer, and then, as now, there was a feeling of wanting to beat the game in one bite that kept him going.

When the last enemy fell under the muzzle, Reg Smallwood exhaled softly, put down the gamepad in his hand, picked up the Coke next to him and took a sip, then stuffed the last piece of pizza that was a little cold into his mouth, swallowed it with the coke, and waited until he had cleaned the grease on his hands with a paper towel, and the cutscene on the TV screen had come to the key part.

“Chapter4－SilentCartographer……”

"The vast sea shimmered in the light of the star Risot, and two pelican ships, the Aigo 419 and the Blevaux 22, were speeding across the sea and flying towards a small island......"

After clearing the beach of enemy troops, Master Chief under the command of Ray Smallwood drove the Warthog Chariot with two Marines to roam the island while using the vehicle's cannon to rid the eyes of the Covenant unlucky ones. After a while, the looming buildings in the mountains in the distance caught his attention, and the warthog chariot redirected towards the complex. As the distance grows closer, the enemies become more numerous, and with the powerful firepower of the Warthog Chariot and the driving skills he has honed in racing games, Reg Smallwood carefully searches for the weak points of the enemy's defenses, and he knows that the place in front of him is the destination nine times out of ten.

After sweeping the enemy on the perimeter, the master chief turned over and got out of the car, and walked carefully towards the interior of the building with an assault rifle, the cunning enemy quickly reacted, the door of the building closed quickly, and Reg Smallwood, who had no way out for the time being, had to vent his anger on a few unlucky guards who didn't have time to run into the gate, and the muzzle of the assault rifle began to beat with flickering fire......

After a burst of heavy gunfire, the last three Covenant elites in their way fell to the ground, and Master Chief looked back at the island before jumping onto the Pelican ship, ready to move on to the next battlefield.

Looking at the TV screen with the Pelican ship folded its landing deck and rising with a loud roar, Reg Smallwood somehow suddenly remembered some past events, and he remembered that the first time he heard about Halo seemed to be in the middle of last year, when it was said that Bungie was going to launch it on the computer, of course, as for Mackintosh's dedicated platform or the open platform of the PC. Later, it was rumored that Bungie was acquired by a deep-pocketed group, and then the news about "Halo" slowly decreased, and it was not until the E3 show in May this year that "Halo" appeared again, this time in front of everyone with a trailer for the game, and it was also confirmed that it would be the first to land on the DreamBox128 platform.

Reg Smallwood unfortunately missed the opportunity to observe the E3 scene, he only found out when he heard a friend talk about it, and then saw the second-hand "Halo" trailer through some channels, although the clarity is said to be not as high as the version of the E3 scene, but it still brought him a lot of shock. Listen to the friend who went to the E3 exhibition,The picture at the scene was even more shocking,There are even many people who suspect that it is impossible to achieve such an effect with the function of DreamBox128CG,It's not strange to say this kind of thing,When the PS game console first came out,Sony Computer Entertainment once recommended a dinosaurDemo,The picture effect has not appeared on the PS game console until now,Even in the most glorious era of the PS game console,The actual picture of the PS game abounds compared to the development screen,The difference is just the degree of shrinkage。

Before getting the official version of "Halo", Reg Smallwood also guessed how much the official version has shrunk compared to the development screen, which is one of the reasons why he booked a set early, of course, the main thing is the game's unique style of FPS mode. There were many rumors before the official release of the game, some said that the game had encountered difficulties in development and had to postpone the release, some people said that the game would cancel the online mode in order to catch up with the release date, and some even swore that Bungie did not develop "Halo" at all, and the so-called trailer that appeared on E3 was actually produced by a professional animation company, and the pre-order of "Halo" had actually been swept away by Bungie's sales manager.

Of course, there are basically few people who will believe these unreliable legends, but once there are more people who say it, it is inevitable that some people's confidence will be shaken, although Reg Smallwood does not believe it, but he is also a little worried about the official version of "Halo", I am afraid that there will be a big difference between the game and imagination after getting it, and all this will wait until the retail version of "Halo" is put on the shelves on time, and wait until he gets the "Halo" from the UPS guy as scheduled When the game screen of the trailer of the E3 exhibition appeared on the TV screen, the rumors gradually disappeared, and his somewhat hanging heart slowly let go.

……

"Halo sold more than one million ...... on the first day of its release"

"The first sale of "Halo", the crowd of people queuing all night in front of the Tristopford chain reappeared......"

"Halo is expected to be available on PC in five months, and Jensen Jones has revealed that a new LAN mode will be added......"

In less than a week, with the help of the people behind the scenes, "Halo" quickly occupied the important pages of many media, and quickly climbed to the top few in Google's search keyword rankings. It has become the hottest topic, whether you like it or not, a few words of praise for "Halo" or a few thorns in "Halo" can always successfully attract the attention of other players.

For players, Halo brings a sense of freshness, and even those who don't like Halo can find their own fun in the debate, but for some game companies, the popularity of Halo is definitely bad news.
