Chapter 54: Shut Up, We're Talking ......

Japan's entertainment industry, which was a world leader in the past few years, has been in decline in recent years. After all, you have to have money to have entertainment, and the more money you have to spare, the more entertainment you have.

If everyone lives a life without clothes and food, it doesn't seem like a possible thing to make everyone happy and entertained.

The decline of the economy is accompanied by the decline of entertainment.

Therefore, many entertainment projects have not developed for many years. Gradually, he was surpassed by others.

For example, things like Internet cafes and game machine halls have just appeared in Japan for a long time. However, in recent years there has been little development at all.

For example, China has recently learned from the advanced experience of foreign countries, started to do Internet cafes, and took the route of e-sports.

Internet cafes in Japan are still at the level of tatami mat rooms, free comic books, and free drinks.

Because, for so many years, in fact, the Japanese e-sports industry has basically not developed.

And in other parts of Asia, South Korea, China and even Southeast Asia, e-sports has developed very maturely.

The biggest reason why e-sports can develop is because these things can drive the development of the entire game.

However, unlike traditional sports, a game will not last for hundreds or decades like football or basketball, and generally speaking, the best life span of an esports project is only five years.

After five years, the game will decline, the project will decline. Often, there are many e-sports players, as well as video game players, who can't accept the decline of the projects they are engaged in and the games they play, because, for them, it represents their careers and their youth.

Thus they will begin to mock the new envy that will appear later, however, their taunt is actually useless. Because, whether a game will become a new mainstream game or not is not something they can decide.

In addition to the game publisher, the rest of the game that can decide which game will be popular in the future are younger players. Because they are young, they are more able to accept new things, because they are young, they have more energy, and because they are young, they have more time.

However, lately, it has become more and more difficult to do places like Internet cafes. First, because of the rise of mobile platforms, it has greatly distracted players.

On the other hand, because the establishment of Internet cafes is liberalized, anyone can do it, and there is no threshold, which means that there is no moat, and no moat means that the industry is likely to lose money.

Therefore, many Internet café owners have begun to seek differentiation.

Some are cheap, some are stylish, some are good machine performance, and some are playing emotional cards.

Needless to say, students generally do not have their own income, and Internet cafes are in the same vein as e-sports, and they are also cheap entertainment.

After all, although video games are cheap entertainment, they have developed to the present level and have provided everyone with a unique virtual gaming experience, which has slowly gotten rid of cheap entertainment.

Even some high-level people like to play games, and they like to go to those more high-end Internet cafes.

The rest is, for example, the price is more ordinary, but the machine has good performance and conquers the player with a better gaming experience.

Finally, there is the issue of popularity. Sometimes, some people go to an Internet café, not because of how good the configuration of the Internet café is, nor because of the Internet café, where there is anything special. It's just because they are familiar with the boss here, and everyone is friends together, and they feel comfortable here, so they come here.

Lin Yan recently studied Internet cafes, not that he wanted to open Internet cafes. In fact, if he wants to open an Internet café, there is no problem at all in doing the most upscale one.

He pays attention to the Internet café industry because he cares about the future development direction of video games.

In fact, many people do not know where the future of video games will be.

Including the current Lin Yan himself.

Whether mobile games dominate the country, or console games and PC games, there will still be a lot of them.

If you can't figure out this problem, it will have a great impact on Chiba games. Because, this means that in the future Chiba games, more energy will be invested in which aspect.

For example, a hardware company led by Tiguang recently. It's not so easy to take orders for computer-related hardware, because the production volume is too small and the profit is not high.

A large number of orders are received by mobile devices. Because, mobile devices are not the same as personal computers. Mobile devices, everyone must have one, the greater the demand in the market, the more prosperous the market will be.

The recent update of graphics card technology has become relatively slow. Because, this market is not the most mainstream market.

However, the graphics card on the Chiba game console has not been slowed down by this update. Because, after all, Chiba Games is the big owner of Titanium, and sometimes they want Tiguang to do something, and Titanguang will not fail to do it.

As a result, the home console of Chiba games began to lead the mainstream personal computers in terms of performance. This is great news for home consoles.

Because, due to the development of technology, it is normal for home computers to be slow to update and lag behind mainstream personal computers.

Why is it that even if the performance of the home machine is not good, there will still be so many players, and the performance will still be good. It's because of the home console, which has many advantages, such as a single hardware that is easy to optimize, for example, most players play on TV, the distance is a little far, and sometimes, even if there are some flaws, they can't see it.

This time, the home machine update is still the same rhythm as usual. After the old home machine came to an end, their new home machine debuted.

The familiar rhythm has cultivated the habit of players changing game consoles.

Therefore, although the propaganda offensive is not particularly strong. However, in a short period of time, millions of units were booked.

That's right, millions of units.

Because of the popularity of Internet sales, the behavior of pre-sale is becoming more and more popular.

Chiba Games did not deliberately create a false appearance that the machine was very rare, although that would make the machine very popular, but it would give many scalpers an opportunity to take advantage of.

These scalpers, in fact, are very harmful to a product, in order not to be destroyed by these scalpers of Chiba Games.

Chiba Games has been released for booking. You can buy it once you order it, and it will be shipped within a week.

This is the confidence of Chiba games.

Because Chiba Games is going to come out with a new home console. Tomitsu has built 10 new factories to produce new game consoles for Chiba Games.

You must know that traditional Japanese manufacturers do not like the OEM production model very much. For them, everything is produced by themselves, and that is the best.

However, for Chiba Games, with such a large sales volume, it is really not cost-effective to want to produce it yourself and raise so many workers.

You know, the peak of production is only a few months at most. If, these months have passed, how will those employees solve it.

The foundry's solution is very simple, they can do another equipment after they finish one equipment, and they can make all workers work all the time through such regulation.

And for a single-brand factory, such regulation is impossible.

In addition, Chiba Games itself is more inclined to be a R&D company than a production company. Therefore, unlike other Japanese manufacturers, they prefer to outsource production tasks.

All they need to do is make new games and design new machines.

Actually, Chiba Games wants to cancel the physical storage medium on the new machine this time, which is to give up the storage method of discs. All transmissions are carried out over the Internet. 、

However, as soon as this opinion was issued, it was opposed by the majority of players. After all, not everyone has the internet. There are also some people who always want to fight for their rights.

Chiba Games therefore installed the optical drive system back.,But in this way,The cost of the whole machine has become higher.。

In fact, Chiba Games does such a thing, essentially because they want to make the console cheaper.

However, there is no way for players to oppose it. After all, if there is no physical storage medium, it is not a particularly good thing for them to have something that can be spread online.

Lin Yan sometimes likes to play video games, but for him, it is difficult for him to play video games and enjoy the fun of others.

Because, he knows all the tricks of game design. In such a situation, it is very difficult to make a game feel very fun.

Because, when he sees a game, he knows who the prototype of this game is, how many people like this game, and whether anyone will play this game.

It can be said that in his eyes, the game has been decomposed into a bunch of things that are not games.

Just like the cow, I believe that the cow can't appreciate the overall beauty of the cow as a creature in many cases.

After all, when he looks at a cow, he looks at a bunch of moving parts.

Lin Yan looks at the game the same way, so it is even more difficult to make it find a fun game than to ascend to the sky.

However, fortunately, such games can still pop up from time to time, but, unfortunately, such games, in general, do not perform very well in the market.

Because, these games are too core. If the core is too detached from the public, there will be no market.

Whatever it is.

Acclaimed, it is already the best result of this kind of game.

Lin Yan's recent interests have been more outside of video games. After all, it's not a good thing to always be immersed in a small circle like video games.

Sometimes, it's important to face something you've never faced before in order to gain something new. In order to make more pioneering things for the industry.

However, lately he's been making games, and he's getting a little bit out of his power.

After all, the history he knows has already been developed, and what will happen next, like everyone else, does not know, is unknown.

In this case, Lin Yan is actually more and more like, realizing the idea of the ultimate game in his mind.

However, the technology has not yet reached that day, and it has not yet allowed the development of such a game.

Therefore, Lin Yan is now spending a lot of money to support the development of technology, hoping to develop technology that can support that kind of game.

Lin Yan felt that that kind of game might not be just a game. It may also represent the future of humanity.

After all, such a game, to a certain extent, can achieve the "eternal life" that human beings have always dreamed of.

However, it is still a question whether the human mind, which has become an electronic program, can be counted as a human being. After all, the most basic operating principle is not quite the same.

Until now, people don't know what kind of structure their brain is and what its principle is.

In such a situation, it is basically impossible to get people to complete the transfer of consciousness.

Therefore, Lin Yan has also invested a lot in this area.

Sometimes, Lin Yan thinks in his head whether he will become a classic villain in American Hollywood movies if he does this.

I want to make everyone a cyborg, and then dominate Bandai.

In fact, sometimes he thinks that some plots of Hollywood movies are very wishful thinking, like being right for the sake of being right.

Say, for example, the war between mutants and humans. Lin Yan didn't think that there was anything wrong with humans becoming mutants.

Why do some mutants have to protect those ordinary humans, and let ordinary humans harm mutants?

This kind of development is actually very unreasonable, but this is what many moviegoers like, after all, this is more in line with the mainstream views of society.

In other words, it is precisely because of these films that they have launched that have shaped the mainstream view of society.

Of course, most of the time when others talk about these movies with no care. will say, you are really too good to be on the line.

It's just a movie, it's just an entertainment product, as far as that's it.

Of course, they say that, a lot of the time, because they don't like what these people say.

If these people's statements are in line with what they think. They will be very happy to welcome this statement. Moreover, those who say that they oppose this statement have no brains.

It's like some people saying to others, "Shut up, we're talking about democracy." (To be continued.) )
