Yuji Kobayashi is a professional game writer, but also an avid game enthusiast, he came to the Spring Festival Tokyo Game Show to see the heroic appearance of those upcoming games, of course, the more important purpose is also to see what the legendary PS2 game console looks like, but unfortunately the result is very disappointing, Sony Computer Entertainment's booth did not even have anything related to PS2 game consoles, and even the front of the booth also erected a special piece "This exhibition does not talk about PS2" 's brand can be regarded as completely blocking many people's delusions.

Disappointed, Kobayashi had to wander to the other booths to see if there was anything else to look at, but unfortunately he couldn't get his way until the Blue Bird booth appeared in front of him......

After leaving the booth of Ainotori Co., Ltd., Yuji Kobayashi happened to meet a friend of his, Mitsuki Yamaki, who was an editor at a famous game magazine, so he grabbed him and asked, "Yamaki-kun, have you gone over there to have a look?" There are many classic games on the booth of Ainotori Co., Ltd. ”

"Kobayashi-kun, this can't be, I've never heard of Blue Bird Co., Ltd., there will be some classic games, even if there are really ones, there will definitely not be too many. Yamaki was obviously late today, and he didn't seem to believe Kobayashi's words as he hadn't seen the Aotori booth.

"Yamaki-kun, if you don't believe it, listen to me. Yuji Kobayashi, who was unwilling to be misunderstood, said while holding his fingers: "You see, "Resident Evil: Codename Veronica", "Street Fighter ZERO3", "Silent Hill 2", "Metal Gear Solid 2", "Final Fantasy 9", "Front Mission 3", "Parasite Eve 2", "Dragon Quest 7", "The King of Fighters: Extreme Impact", "Metal Slug X", "The Wind Comes to Xilin 2: Ghost Strike! Xilin City", "The Legend of Zelda: The Mask of Mjira", "Pro Evolution Soccer 4", "Gran Turismo 2"... …”

At first, Yamaki Guanghui really thought that Yuji Kobayashi was just talking casually, the two had a lot of interactions on weekdays, and he could say that he knew Yuji Kobayashi's temper very well, but he didn't expect that Yuji Kobayashi's mouth really popped out of a series of game names, and all of them were classics, any of which would make him excited, and his face became more and more red because of excitement. When the words "Dragon Quest 7" came out of Yuji Kobayashi's mouth, Yamaki Guanghui, who was "Brave Control", grabbed Kobayashi's hand excitedly, and shouted regardless of his demeanor: "Oh my God, "Dragon Quest 7", Kobayashi-kun, you didn't lie to me, shouldn't this be launched on the PS game console?"

"Of course I didn't lie to you, if Yamaki-kun doesn't believe it, you can go with me to take a look, but whether you can squeeze in depends on your creation. Yuji Kobayashi asked, gesturing his hand toward the booth of Blue Bird Co., Ltd.

"Go, of course. Yamaki Guanghui nodded again and again, grabbed Yuji Kobayashi and ran in the direction he pointed.

The same thing is happening in different corners of the Makuhari Messe for different reasons, such as the new lore of Final Fantasy 9, the new secrets of Resident Evil, the new shock of Silent Hill, and even some people just to see the legendary game footage that surpasses the Dreamcast console.

At the beginning of the exhibition, the staff of Sony Computer Entertainment and Sega, who were a little complacent because of the large number of people queuing up to try the game, had to helplessly look at the increasingly thin crowd of onlookers, and the trial consoles that could be played almost without queuing.

"The story of Shenmue revolves around the two bronze mirrors (dragon mirror and phoenix mirror) that the protagonist Ryo Batsuki's father, Ryo Batsuki, brought back in China in the past...... "Yu Suzuki smiled and introduced to a group of game industry insiders and media reporters who had just arrived at the Sega booth.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and many people talked to their companions next to them for a few words, and then turned around and ran in the same direction, although Suzuki Yu didn't know what these people were doing, but only from some of the words that came over, "The Legend of Zelda, the new work, oh my God......", "Final Fantasy" has new material, "...... ...... "Dragon Quest", then I must go and see ......", he can guess a few points, eighty percent is something new.

"Can't you wait for me to finish before leaving!" Suzuki Yu looked at the two or three kittens left in front of him, and thought indignantly: "It's too disrespectful!"

On the evening after the first day of the Tokyo Game Show, the Sony Computer Entertainment Office Building was still brightly lit, and Ken Kutaragi looked at everyone in the conference room with a blue face, and roared, "Where did this Blue Bird Co., Ltd. come from, why haven't any of you heard of it beforehand......

Looking at Kutara Kiken in a state of rage, everyone wisely chose to be an ostrich, and buried their heads in counting the textures on the table without squinting or saying a word. After a crackling roar, Ken Kutaragi, who was playing solo alone, also felt bored, and the depression in his heart was basically vented, so his tone became a little softer: "Okay, I believe that all of you are working very hard, and ignoring Blue Bird Co., Ltd. this time should be just an unintentional mistake, just pay attention in the future." Next, let's discuss how to deal with Aonotori Co., Ltd.'s DreamBox128 host, and whether our own plans need to be adjusted accordingly. Iwata-kun, what is the current level of the PS2 that you are working on, and when will it be officially released? ”

"Yes, President. Iwata Mitsuko, who was named by Ken Kutaragi, stood up and bowed respectfully, and began to introduce the development progress of PS2: "...... At present, the R&D progress has entered the middle stage, but some adjustments need to be made to the system layout according to the simulation test situation...... According to the current schedule, it is estimated that the PS2 will not be available until at least April or May next year. ”

"President, there are 12 PS2 games currently in development, and none of them are expected to be completed by March next year...... There is also a certain amount of preparation period for the development of the game, otherwise there is no guarantee that there will be enough game support when the PS2 is released......" Ryuichi Murakami also stood up and told the situation in his charge.

Someone started.,Everyone's courage has gradually grown.,Have expressed their opinions on the current situation.,There are all kinds of opinions.,But one thing is relatively unified.,Everyone didn't regard the DreamBox128 console of Blue Bird Co., Ltd. as a strong rival.,Think it's just a sneaky advance amount.,Wait until your own PS2 comes out.,It will definitely be able to defeat it completely.,Just like the original PS game console vs. Sega's SS game console.。

"President, I think we can take the initiative to contact those game developers and pull them into our camp as much as possible, I believe that in addition to those strong large companies, it is difficult for general game developers to develop multiple games at the same time, especially if the platform is different, so if we can say that we can mobilize as many game developers as possible to develop PS2 or PS games, then it means that there are fewer game developers who can develop games for the DreamBox128 console. As for those big companies, we can also consider using as many preferential terms as possible to attract them to develop PS2 or PS games, the key is that in the first two years, as long as we successfully snipe the early development of the DreamBox128 console, I believe that with the PS2 game console, we will be able to catch up with this opponent who is on the road first. Akihiro Aoyama, who had lost a chip in intelligence, also used his brains and put forward his own proposal for defeating Aonitori Co., Ltd.

Obviously, Aoyama Akihiro's words reached Kutara Mujian's heart, he nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "Aoyama-kun's idea is very insightful, then this matter will be handed over to your department to be responsible, the conditions are easy to say, as long as you can successfully snipe the DreamBox128 host, appropriate concessions are acceptable." ”

"Yes, President, I will definitely handle this matter!" Akihiro Aoyama replied with a fierce nod.

"Iwata-kun, you must pay close attention to your R&D work, and you must find a way to complete the R&D work as early as possible without affecting the quality and performance of PS2. Murakami-kun, you have to pay more attention to game development, the development progress is very important, but you must not ignore the quality of the game. …… Ladies and gentlemen, it's up to you whether our PS2 can start or not, so please hurry!" stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Yes, President!" everyone stood up and bowed to Kutaragi Ken.

……

Something similar happened at the headquarters of Sega and Nintendo, who also met late into the night, and the atmosphere in the venue was more solemn than that of Sony Computer Entertainment. The president of Shoichiro Iriko is very angry.,That damn Capcom company actually dared to fool him.,Obviously promised to launch a series of games including "Resident Evil" on the Dreamcast console.,That's good.,There's no movement here.,Turn around and jump to the DreamBox128 console of Blue Bird Co., Ltd.,And this time the demo version is also shown.,It's obvious that Capcom's empathy is not a matter of one or two days.。

Yamauchi Pu is also very angry, although the cooperation with Tianzhiyuan over the years has been indispensable to some stumbles, but overall it is quite pleasant, starting from Nintendo red and white machines, to GameBoy, Super Nintendo, VRBoy, until the current N64, with the support of Nintendo, Tianzhiyuan has successfully created many best-selling games. But now he turned his face and didn't recognize people, and before Nintendo came to persuade him to join the development of the N64 follow-up model, Tianzhien fell into the arms of the little-known Blue Bird Co., Ltd. in a blink of an eye, and even took away best-selling game brands such as "The Legend of Zelda", which almost didn't make the conceited Yamauchi Pu blow up his lungs.

But angry is angry, Shoichiro and Yamauchi Pu still have nothing to do, this year is not like Nintendo's most glorious years, whoever wants to develop can develop, and kick out whoever you want, since the new army Sony entered the game industry, the control measures that Yamauchi Pu has been proud of have gradually collapsed, and game developers who are stepping on two or more boats abound. If you want to punish, except for those little ant companies that have just joined the game industry, there will basically be no company birds, and it's a big deal to change to another platform. So the two of them can only be anxious and angry, but they invariably think of a joke some time ago that "Sega helps Nintendo develop games", at least the current Yamauchi Pu thinks this idea is quite good.

The next morning, many media who have seen the magical performance of the DreamBox128 console can't wait to organize reports on it, and those more time-sensitive newspapers and online media have immediately announced the information they have about the DreamBox128 console, including the shocking game developer camp and the mouth-watering game development list, the powerful performance and configuration of the DreamBox128 console have attracted bursts of praise, and more good things have been called by the mediaThe nickname "Horror Boss", which was used to describe the shock of its powerful performance, has since gained recognition from almost the entire Japanese gaming community.

Some of the more extensive media have also interviewed game developers who have seen the DreamBox 128 console, and published them as special reviews in newspapers, including many famous game developers. For example, Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, believes: "...... A very powerful machine, both in terms of performance, DVD-ROM and game controllers...... I believe that Final Fantasy 9 will definitely get a better stage......"

The development team of Gran Turismo, to which Tennoen belongs, said: "...... The MOVIE screen of the PS version of "Gran Turismo" can be fully displayed in real-time calculation on the DreamBox128 console, and the picture quality will be improved several times or even hundreds of times...... In the future, racing games will be comparable to ...... on TV broadcasts"

Capcom's Yoshiki Okamoto said, "When I first saw the data of the DreamBox128 console, I was as surprised as the horror lord had arrived...... We believe that the hardware has evolved to such an extent that the developer's perception is more important to the future of the game...... That's why Resident Evil: Codename Veronica chose the DreamBox128 console as its development platform......"

Koichi Nakamura, the main creator of "The Wind Comes to the West Forest", felt: "...... I've seen a variety of hardware, but it's the first time I've been hit so hard. Both the computing power of the CPU and the ability to express images have surpassed the scope of home game consoles, and are currently the apex of the world's computers......"

The overwhelming coverage aroused strong interest among players, and many people made a special trip to the Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture to see what the legendary "Horror Lord" was like, so from the afternoon of the second day of the Tokyo Game Show, the Makuhari Messe ushered in a huge wave of visits......
