Chapter 54: E3 (Part II)
The sign on the side of the booth reads: "DreamBox128 Console Magic Feature No. 3: Perfect Compatibility with PlayStation Game Discs."
Fourteen years ago, NES (Nintendo Entertainment System, the American version of Nintendo's red and white machine) became popular, and everyone gradually accumulated a lot of NES cartridges in their hands, and then SNES (SuperNintendo Entertainment System, the American version of Super Nintendo) was launched, so NES cartridges were eliminated. Ten years ago, Genesis (Sega MD US version) became popular, and everyone gradually accumulated a lot of Genesis cartridges in their hands, and then the Saturn game console came, so the Genesis cartridges were also eliminated.
More than four years ago, the PS game console was launched, and now it has become the most popular home game console in the world. Now that the DreamBox128 console is here, will the PS game disc be eliminated?
Don't worry, the DreamBox128 console with core-level emulation will run perfectly on previous PlayStation game discs, and even some special games will have picture enhancement features......"
Next to the sign, there is something that looks like a home game console, connected to a large-screen TV, and is automatically demonstrating a game, if Akihiro Aoyama can recognize it carefully, it should be able to recognize that it is "Final Fantasy 8", which has only been on the market for a few months, and the graphics of the game are much more detailed than those shown by the PS game console.
Akihiro Aoyama didn't have time to tell what the game was on the TV screen, and after reading a few lines on the sign, he almost lost his nose, and all he had left in his mind was "I can't think of anything but 'Bleem!'" Outside, there is such a bold company", he finally calmed down a little, but he saw the "DreamBox128" logo from the thing that looked like a home game console, which made the anger in his heart rise again, and this thing in front of him turned out to be the DreamBox128 console that had blocked them once at the Tokyo Game Show in the spring, which is simply an uncle can bear it and an aunt can't bear it.
Regardless of his own strength, he didn't even have the time to care if the wild mountains behind him could keep up, Aoyama Akihiro squeezed out of the crowd, and picked up the onlookers in front of the big-screen TV, pointed to the "PS Game Disc Compatible Function Demonstration" sign hanging on the TV screen, and shouted angrily: "Who is in charge here, who is in charge here!"
At this time, Yeshan also followed, and roared with Aoyama Akihiro's actions: "Who is in charge, hurry up and come out for me!"
The duo had just barked a few times, and a young man who looked relatively strong walked up and waved his hand, and before the two of them could come back to their senses, they were driven away like flies, and only said "I don't want to look at it, don't get in the way of others!"
Aoyama Akihiro and Noyama were unwilling to be driven away like this, but after comparing the thickness of the thighs and each other's arms, the two still wisely chose to "turn in", planning to change places to find the guy in charge of the DreamBox128 host, if the other party's size is not too prominent, they will resolutely protect the rights and interests of Sony Computer Entertainment, and when the time comes, they can justifiably ask the official staff of the E3 exhibition to cooperate.
Turning around and about to change places, a kind-looking young Asian appeared in front of the two: "Gentlemen, did you just look for the person in charge?"
"yes, we're looking for it. Aoyama Akihiro looked at the person in front of him and asked, "You are the person in charge of this?"
"That's right, my name is John Chen, you can call me John. The person who came stretched out his hand and said kindly.
Aoyama Akihiro's face suddenly darkened, hugged his hand, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Since you are the person in charge, can you explain why you use PS game discs to display your products?"
As a subordinate, Yeshan stood behind Aoyama Akihiro and did not speak, but he also looked at John Chen in front of him with an unkind face, his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was comparing the thickness of the arms of the two.
John Chen looked at the two guys in front of him who were obviously looking for something, and was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but on the surface, he still replied as usual: "This question is easy to explain, our DreamBox128 console has a PS game disc compatibility function, which can directly play the game on the disc, so let's take a "Final Fantasy 8" disc to demonstrate, you can rest assured that this is definitely a genuine disc." ”
"Hmph!PS game disc compatibility features?Who approved your development!Who allowed you to have it!" Aoyama Akihiro said and became excited, and shouted at the young man in front of him: "You are blatantly infringing patent rights, we will apply to the court for an injunction, and you will compensate us for our losses!"
"Yes, stop it now, or you'll lose money!" Noyama couldn't help but roar again under the pull of his breath, of course, the more important reason was that he found that his arms seemed to be a little thicker than the young man's.
John Chen looked at the two barking guys in front of him with disdain, and his tone began to harden: "This is our trade secret, there is no need and no obligation to explain it to you, but I can tell you one thing, we have a patent authorization in this area." ”
"Impossible!" Aoyama Akihiro didn't believe it at all, Sony Computer Entertainment had never licensed the patent of the PS game console to outsiders, and the young man in front of him was obviously lying, and he was indignant that he relied on the 2-to-1 advantage, and took a few steps forward, wanting to join forces with Noyama to seek some justice.
But then surrounded by four or five people who looked like staff, the advantage of 2 to 1 immediately turned into a disadvantage of playing more with less, Aoyama Akihiro's footsteps slowly stopped, and after observing the situation, he pulled a wild mountain and turned to leave, but before leaving, he also dropped a cruel sentence: "You wait and see, I'll find someone to judge now!"
"Don't be a coward, hum!" John Chen, who was ready to take a posture, snorted disdainfully in his heart, turned around and greeted the onlookers with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, everyone continue." ”
The duo ran hundreds of meters in one breath and slowed down, and Noyama asked Aoyama Akihiro worriedly, "Minister Aoyama, what should we do next?"
Akihiro Aoyama glanced back at the huge exhibition area not far away, and said hatefully: "Let them be proud, hmph! Let's go to George and Matt, I'm sure the official staff of the show will support our appeal, just like in 'Bleem!' Booths are the same. ”
"Minister Ben is really wise!" Noyama immediately echoed with a smile on his face, as he had been used to all these years.
……
"Matt, have you heard, it seems that there is another great game console, called DreamBox128. On the way to the meeting's office, George Wood excitedly bragged to his friend Matt Beamon about what he had heard.
Matt Beamon wasn't surprised at all, and it was clear that he wasn't ignorant of this: "Oh, DreamBox128, of course I've heard that, it's quite powerful, and it's compatible with previous PlayStation game discs. George, if you get a new console, your old collection won't go to waste. ”
"However, I heard that Sony's PS2 seems to be compatible with previous PS game discs, and the performance of the DreamBox 128 seems to be on par, so I don't know who to choose. George Wood sighed worriedly, "What a contradiction!"
"If you want me to say, it's still DreamBox128 is more reliable, after all, there are actual things on display, and the game demos I saw when I passed by their booth just now are also very rich, unlike Sony shouting louder than anyone else, but in fact, what can be tried is a racing game, to be honest, it is not as attractive as the sports games of the Sega Dreamcast console. Besides, it's the same feature that is compatible with PS game discs, and I found that DreamBox128 does a better job than the legendary PS2, I don't know if you've noticed, it's also a demonstration of Final Fantasy 8 PS discs, and the graphics on DreamBox128 are obviously more delicate and perfect...... "Matt Beamon talked eloquently, as if he was a game console commentator, but the tendency is still quite obvious.
"According to you, between DreamBox128 and PS2, you must choose DreamBox128. George Wood, who was dazed, asked rhetorically.
"Well, that's hard to say right now. Matt Beamon pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice: "After all, the final price has not yet been determined, if the price of the two is about the same, I will definitely choose the DreamBox128." ”
The two walked into the office while talking, and before they could do anything, suddenly two people burst in, and even forgot to knock on the door in a hurry.
"Mr. Wood, Mr. Beamon, I'm sorry to trouble you again. Akihiro Aoyama bowed and asked with a smile on his face.
George Wood frowned and said angrily, "Mr. Aoyama, we have just arrived at 'Bleem!' with you The booth went and they agreed not to use the PS game screen for the demonstration, what else do you want?"
Akihiro Aoyama originally wanted to say his request directly, but seeing that George Wood was a little unreasonable, he came up with a good idea after a little thought: "Mr. Wood, you misunderstood, it's not 'Bleem!' We just stumbled upon another company that was also using our Sony PS games for demonstrations, and we wanted to negotiate directly with the other party, but they ignored it, and even when we mentioned your and Mr. Beamon's names, the other party deliberately laughed at us. I can bear to ignore us, but even Mr. Wood and Mr. Beamon don't care, they are simply too much. ”
"What, there are such people!" Matt Beamon on the side was furious, but this is also their land, and there are people who disdain them, which is simply too shameless. George Wood's face flushed red with excitement, and although he didn't spit out any radical words, it was clear that Akihiro Aoyama's goal had been achieved.
George Wood, Matt Beamon and Akihiro Aoyama, plus Noyama who followed behind, the group angrily ran to the booth in Akihiro Aoyama's mouth, and more than ten minutes later, the huge exhibition area used to display the DreamBox128 host appeared in front of these people again.
"That's it, their so-called DreamBox128 console dares to blatantly use our Sony PS game Final Fantasy 8 to demonstrate, which simply doesn't take Mr. Wood and Mr. Beamon into account. Akihiro Aoyama looked at the booth not far away and said indignantly.
But Akihiro Aoyama's words were like air, and after waiting for several minutes without hearing a response from George Wood and Matt Beamon, he couldn't help but turn his head suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Wood, Mr. Beamon, ...... you?"
The expressions on George Wood and Matt Beamon's faces have changed to bright smiles at some point, and Akihiro Aoyama is confused, I don't know why these two are so happy, if he can hear the voices of others, I believe that his face will be even more wonderful than now, because George Wood is thinking in his heart at this time, "This damn Japanese guy has rushed here to talk nonsense, I really think everyone is like 'Bleem!' So easy to bully!"
Smiling George Wood and Matt Beamon walked over to the booth where the DreamBox128 console was being displayed, Akihiro Aoyama's mood gradually became happy, in his opinion, he can definitely find some trouble for the other party, and by the way, he can also sweep away everything related to PS games, in short, let the other party see, Sony Computer Entertainment is not so easy to mess with.
Getting closer and closer to the other party's booth, at first, John Chen seemed to hear something and actually took the initiative to greet him. The two sides stood seven or eight meters away from the booth, John Chen turned his back to the booth, looked at a few people who came over, the look on his face seemed to be uncertain, George Wood and Matt Beamon faced the booth, looking at John Chen in front of him, the smile on his face slowly put away, Akihiro Aoyama stood behind, the smile on his face became more and more pleasant, and the non-existent Yeshan ended his tail state, and assessed the power balance between the two sides, "4 to 1, complete victory", he began to become eager to try.
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, causing the clothes and hair on both sides to flutter slightly, and the atmosphere in the air became delicate, and even the surrounding onlookers in line noticed it and squeezed to the side, trying to get away from this place of right and wrong.
The silence was broken in an instant, and George Wood took a big step forward, and swung his left hand out in a mysterious arc, aiming directly at John Chen in front of him......
