The Playbox-2 went on sale from December 20 to December 26, and in less than a week, more than 8 million units were sold worldwide.

Whether it's in the era of Internet proliferation in the future, or in this era where television and newspapers dominate, it's a surprising amount of sales and speed.

This number relies not only on Caesar's fan bonus as an "elite all-round idol", but also on Caesar's sales outlets that have been operating and expanding for nearly a decade.

Of course, FFF's strong relationship with global super-operators such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour is also one of the driving forces behind this staggering number of people.

FFF's new games randomly launched this time focus on the concepts of "3D game era" and "game cinematicization", and Super Mario 3D, which focuses on gameplay and fun, has temporarily retreated to a supporting role.

No way, Ren games are mainly developed to develop a young fan base and satisfy Ren die-hard fans, and Caesar's Sony and Microsoft games are the favorites of the largest fan base in North America.

Guns, cars, and balls are the romance of America, and the combination of knives and axes and love is not unplayed, but relatively speaking, it will always be a niche.

Even if Caesar's games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill have been watched around the world, if you ask North American gamers which console game they play the most in a year, most of them will answer the Battlefield, This is Destiny, Halo, Major League, Major League, NBA, NBA2K, Need for Speed or Driving Club series.

Games like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest are Japanese or Oriental dishes, and fans of such games will always be a minority in North America.

The second biggest money-sucking monster in the North American game market is "party-type games", such as "Mario Games" and "Blood Games", which can be played by four or more people, must be a must-buy game for Americans who "don't party, or die".

For this kind of game, players may not be able to play it a few times after buying it, but it is a game that must be played at every party, and it will leave a good memory for the players at the party every time.

Caesar's first sports game this time is based on the four major sports leagues in North America plus football, with the racing category of "GT Racing" and "Need for Speed", it can be said that Playbox-2's first sports game can already meet the needs of the vast majority of North American players, and the remaining niche sports games such as "tennis", "billiards" and "golf" can only wait for follow-up development to fill the market gap.

As for party-type games. Caesar only released two games, Mario Games and Smash Bros. with their own focus.

In Caesar's mind, any games, especially the Mario series, were dedicated to gameplay, after opening the console and putting it on the disc. The gameplay on the screen is full and even overflows, otherwise it can't be called "Mario series".

As for the hot-blooded series, of course, the main focus is on the unique funny and joyful attributes of the series, and Caesar also specially designed several similar "call you bear face" (contestants use cakes to make fancy faces to each other within the specified time), "let you sè" (contestants walk on a tightrope with a balance bar). Use various methods to get the opponent off the tightrope within the specified time).

In particular, the unique expressions of the characters in the game who belong to the hot-blooded series have always been even more enduring.

A series of expressions such as being hit by an opponent, being struck by lightning, dizziness, vomiting, suffocation, excitement, fatigue, victory, defeat, decadence, pride, etc., made this game laugh constantly at FFF's internal trial meeting.

It can be said that these emoticons are enough to enter the emoji pack in the Internet era of Caesar's previous life, and when the internal FFF employees try the game, it can be said that as long as they start laughing, they basically can't stop.

In addition to the above all-age games, people can see the strength and ambition of Caesar and FFF from the game catalog launched by Caesar.

"Final Fantasy/7", "The Legend of Zelda/3D", "Dragon Quest/3D", "Norse Goddess", "Monster Hunter", "Legend of Heroes/90", "Persona", "Three Kingdoms/90", "Heavy Loader/3D", "Xenoblade", "Front Mission/90", "Legend of the Holy Sword" and "Might and Magic" This series of Japanese-style RPGs can be said to satisfy the thirst of a small number of North American and most Eastern countries who like RPG players.

Not only are the styles different, but there are also new works and sequels, so I dare not say that they are comprehensive. At least it didn't disappoint the Japanese RPG players who had been waiting for so long.

Finally, it is the most important thing that Caesar recommends to players around the world, "Haunted House", "Parasitic Eve", "Resident Evil", "Silent Hill", "Underwater Operations", "Iron Fist", "Contra/3D", "Metal Gear Solid", "1942/3D", "Crash Bandicoot", "Monopoly", "SimCity", "Age of Discovery", "Theme Hospital", "Railway Tycoon", "Fallout", ......

These include thriller, horror, puzzle-solving, action, shooting, fighting, infiltration, cartoons, simulations, hilarious, and more, as well as works full of authorial ambitions like Age of Discovery and Fallout.

Such a starting lineup overturned the prediction of many Black Caesar media that "Playbox-2 must be scarce at the beginning of its release, and there will be a game shortage".

Caesar is obviously holding back the console's release day, and waiting for the game to save up and release it in one breath, which is deeply affirmed by the majority of players.

Although there are also players who think that releasing too many games at one time will lead to their own instigation, and eventually lead to unrestrained buying, buying, buying, buy

February 1991. That is, the day after the New Year, under the expectation of many players and potential players who are in a wait-and-see state, the game reviews of the major media and entertainment sectors are finally released.

"'Please don't die in the hallway!' Caesar is really a wonder in the world of black humor - trying out "Theme Hospital" has a feeling. ”

"I never thought that the game would be more terrifying and exciting than a horror movie, it is simply the ultimate psychological thriller - a brief discussion on the psychology in "Silent Hill"."

"Age of Exploration is unimaginable. An encyclopedic game covering history, geography, culture, and economy, but what's even more terrifying is that this game, like many of the previous works, was completed by Caesar's independent production of zuò......"

"Incredible feats, from "Fist of the North Dipper" to "Fallout". A brief discussion on the birth of the 'wasteland subculture' and an interview with Caesar, the 'father of the wasteland'. ”

Through feedback from players and playable reviews from the media, Caesar found that things didn't go his way.

People pay the most attention to games such as "Fallout", "Age of Discovery", "Theme Hospital", "Monopoly", "Metal Gear Solid", "Resident Evil" and "Silent Hill", but the RPG games of "Final Fantasy 7" are not very concerned.

The reason, Caesar can guess, is nothing more than that the form or content of these games is newer and stranger than RPGs.

Who would have thought that running a hospital or building a railroad could be a game?

Who would have thought that such a huge setting of background and worldview as "After the Nuclear War" and "Age of Discovery" could be condensed into a single game, and people could clearly understand the good intentions of the people?

Who would have thought that the second spring of the zombie theme would be presented to fans by Caesar in the form of a game?

Especially the "father of modern zombies" George? Romero, after discovering the storage of the game "Resident Evil", actually bought a Playbox-2, and after happily clearing it three times, he personally wrote a playable review.

In the article, Romero praised Caesar's imagination, arguing that the T-virus and The Umbrella setting was Caesar's genius, and in addition to reinforcing the mystery and intriguing players, this setting made it possible for Resident Evil to finally exist as a series.

He wrote unabashedly in the article: "I have made a lot of zombie movies, but I have never thought about the origin of loss like Caesar, and I have never thought of finding a reasonable explanation for the survival of zombies.

Before playing Resident Evil, the zombies in my mind were either from witchcraft or from some kind of magic or curse, and even if it was caused by a virus, I also brushed aside the origin.

Don't look at the fact that I have made a lot of zombie movies, it can be said that it was Caesar, and it was "Resident Evil" that really made me feel a little anxious about the future of mankind.

In the process of human beings deciphering the laws of nature, not every discovery and creation is beneficial and harmless to human beings.

Only God will know that one day a spill accident will be the difference between humanity and the future. (Editor: Mr. Romero, did you play Final Fantasy 7 as well?) ）

"Resident Evil" has a complete world view, and there is also a precise setting for the virus, and at the end of the game, about the reason for the leak, about the mastermind behind the scenes, Caesar has always been secretive, and the dialogue in the game with documents and photos can only give people a glimpse of this world, just a corner of this conspiracy.

Will the world eventually erupt in a massive zombie wave? Will humanity be unwittingly pushed to the end by conspirators?

Will the fate of several protagonists be engulfed by a conspiracy or become heroes of salvation?

How will the relationship between the hero and heroine end up?

As a zombie lover, I can't wait to play the next game.

Finally, I want to say: Caesar, if you want to shoot a movie or TV series version of Resident Evil, be sure to call me. "- George? Romero (To be continued.) )
