Chapter Ninety-Four: The Five Tigers of Chiba
If the production progress is stuck, it will be stuck, there is never a smooth sailing in this world.
In fact, Chiba Games has been able to make games so smoothly, and sometimes it is quite unexpected for Lin Yan. Basically, there are not many difficult problems to solve.
At the beginning, Lin Yan might still need to solve some problems, but the later he goes, as these people's abilities increase, the less things need Lin Yan to do.
These people are probably the elite of the game industry. It's elite.
Nowadays, there is a saying in the game industry called the Chiba Five Tigers, which is the collective name of four other companies such as Chiba Games and Namumoriya.
Except for Chiba Games, which is both a platform and a game producer, the rest are pure fragmented game makers. However, to say that they only make games, don't think that their hardware strength is poor.
In fact, if the problem of production and sales popularization is solved, these four companies can make machines that are no less than super red and white machines.
Actually, the hardware of video game consoles is really not very difficult. Coupled with the popularity of personal compatible computers now, more people understand the principle.
It's also easier to make.
However, it is not difficult to make a game console, but how to build the right machine at the right cost, and then sell them into thousands of households.
This is a very complicated thing, and some people may see it, isn't it just that there are more games.
It's easy to say, but there are really not many game consoles that can really do more games.
Even if it is the second video game league in the industry, the number of games is not much less than Chiba games. And that's not all, because the number of games is small. If you want to catch up with quantity, you often ignore quality.
The façade game is indeed of high quality. But those games that make up the numbers are really bad. As a result, the quality of the game is uneven, and players need to look at their faces to buy games. This, in turn, damages the prestige of video game league consoles.
It's already a niche machine, and if you hurt some players, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
So, after discovering this, the video game league took control of the game quality.
However, you don't have a lot of ownership on this platform, and you can't make much money. The requirements are still so high, why should we play with you.
As a result, there are fewer games, there is not enough diversity in games, there are fewer players, and the attraction of game consoles to players is low, and it enters a vicious circle.
Now, in the video game league, there are quite a few people. I began to recall the eventful years when I first established the company. What a scenery it was at that time, an upright industry boss, who was not pleasing to the eye, one toe. to run them away.
Look at the present, there is always a big mountain weighing on their heads. Let them breathe, even if they occasionally achieve a little bit of success. It was too late to celebrate, and it was beaten back to reality.
Enemy for life.
It's quite a few video game leagues. Rating for Chiba Games.
Of course, there are also people who say. Enemy on the board.
If it weren't for the board of directors and forced Lin Yan away, how could there be any Chiba game. Perhaps, many of the directors on the board of directors are involved in the Chiba Group, and everything is their banner.
As the old saying goes, the video game league as a whole has lost its sharpness. There is no desire to innovate and catch up with the ideal of Chiba games.
Everyone, like the walking dead, is done every day.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if the video game alliance is big, it won't take a few years to fall.
However, most people did not leave the country in search of a new place to work.
After all, resignation or dismissal is not recognized in Japan's stable society.
Therefore, even if the company is not good or bad, few people choose to leave.
And the few who left, the video game league, used their industry influence to prevent them from finding suitable jobs.
Of course, their influence will not affect the Chiba game camp. After all, on the Chiba game camp, most of them have exclusive game platforms.
There is no business relationship with the video game alliance, so naturally there is no influence.
However, these people who jumped out of the job can't enter the Chiba Five Tigers, no matter how strong their ability is, no matter how high their level is, they can't get in. After all, it's not just a matter of ability. There is also the question of the face of Chiba games.
Even people who don't know the past of the two can see the disagreement between the video game alliance and Chiba games, after all, peers are enemies.
The industry boss and the second industry boss are naturally more competitive, even if there are no old grudges, new feuds have been formed.
The problem of character intelligence in "The Sims" was finally solved.
However, Lin Yan felt that the solution was not particularly ideal. However, it is also enough.
After all, with SimCity making a name for itself in the simulation franchise before this, even if the characters in The Sims are a little stupid and think they're a little stupid, they can still get by.
In fact, the production staff of The Sims is quite satisfied with their solution. After all, he has shallow knowledge, and he doesn't see as much as Lin Yan.
The character intelligence system of "The Sims" is also the most advanced in this era.
With this set of characters alone, The Sims is worth the ticket price.
When the game was still a few months away from its release, the reporter of "Game Pass" came to interview the employees of the fifth game department and asked them what they thought of the game.
In fact, there are not many times when Chiba Games is interviewed, and the only media that can be interviewed is "Game Pass". After all, Chiba Games, as the number one giant in the industry, has no need to fight with others from time to time to brush up on its presence.
Even if Chiba Games doesn't go to the media once a year, no one can take them lightly.
So, let's be low-key, high-profile and annoying.
Of course, there are also some companies in the industry that like to brush their presence, and they are all relatively small companies. After all, increasing corporate exposure, not just scandals, but anything else, is a good thing for them. As long as they can increase the sales of the game, they will be satisfied.
There are more people in the entire industry, and all kinds of strange chaos have also come out. Coupled with the special star producer system, the video game circle looks a bit like the entertainment industry.
It looks messy.
From time to time, paparazzi break out all kinds of photos and write some gimmicky news based on this. (To be continued.) )
