Time passes quickly in the ordinary life.

In a blink of an eye, most of this semester has been carried out. During this time, in addition to going to the University of Tokyo to participate in the "Campus Star" awards, I saw a lot of interesting things. It's a weekly review, and the video game cartridges sent by various manufacturers are reviewed.

However, it is a pity. During this time, most of the passage was some arcade port. Because, these games have proven themselves. Proving yourself will be recognized by the players.

And the brand new game, but almost no passed. The reason for this is also very simple. Or because they have too little experience developing games on red and white machines. I don't know how to do home console games at all. The mindset is always fixed on the "arcade mode".

And what is "arcade mode", in fact, is relatively simple, it looks like this.

The first level is handsome, the second level is difficult, and the third level begins to eat coins.

This is the common urine sex of arcade games nowadays.

The reason why this is so is because of changes in the market.

With the popularity of Super Mario, there are quite a few side-scrolling arcade games. However, and Super Mario on a home console. You don't have to spend money to die, and you can try the game again and again.

Arcade games are based on coins to make money.

However, if the first level is very, very difficult. There will be a lot of players giving up. Therefore, many manufacturers have found that they can make the first chapter simple, make the picture the most gorgeous, and make players happy. Seduce their interest in this game.

Then, after the second level starts to increase the difficulty slightly. Start in the third level and turn into crazy mode.

And most people, when immersed in one thing, will have a tendon move. A lot of coins, knowing that you have cleared the customs.

Perhaps, after clearing the customs, enter the time of the sage. He would be annoyed that he had spent so much money. However, if he were given another exposure to a game, he would do it anyway.

This is human nature.

Speaking of which. It seems that the game is mysterious. However, the reality is just that. Otherwise, arcade manufacturers will not explore this routine.

What is a routine is an effective solution.

Follow the routine. Even if you can't be popular, you can guarantee that you don't make mistakes. Innovation, on the other hand, is 99 out of 100 on the beach. Only the last one will produce some results.

It's like, now the video game league is helpless to continue the road of "sim racing". Develop a more powerful arcade machine.

This kind of large-scale game arcade, to put it bluntly, is a variant of the video game arcade that is closer to the amusement park. By simulating a variety of experiences, it brings fun to players. Rather than taking advantage of the game's unique manifestations.

You see, on other machines. Can you make "Super Mario" and "Iron Plate Formation". However, racing games, no matter how realistic you are, most of the time, are not more realistic than real cars.

Of course, racing games, in later days. It will be a visually exciting experience for those who don't want to pursue speed and passion with their lives.

This is also the willingness of Gun Car Ball to occupy the mainstream game market in the future. These three things. But they are all relatively demanding.

Guns kill people, balls require good stamina, and cars must be affordable first, regardless of whether they have an accident or not.

Lin Yan and Chubby Dun put another big bag of games. After they all played, they looked at each other and shook their heads, still not having the kind of game they wanted.

Wait a minute......

Lin Rongdong touched his pocket and remembered something.

The long-haired Raiders Ben Youth, today when he went to the arcade hall. He was given a cassette. He seemed to know that Lin Yan was in charge of reviewing the red and white machine games, and he thought that it would be easier to pass if he handed it over to him without going through the prescribed procedures.

However, in terms of Lin Yan's temper. If, this game is not able to match the game quality of the red and white machine. He won't pass.

To be honest, during this time, because Lin Yan did not pass a brand new third-party game. Chiba games are under a lot of pressure.

Chiba Yuki also suggested that Lin Yan compromise a little, and Lin Yan did compromise, but his compromise method was too far from what Chiba Yuki thought.

He threw out several games in quick succession and quickly released them. Within a week of its release, almost all of the game's cartridges sold more than 100,000 copies.

The highest one, even more than half a million copies.

His purpose in doing so was clear. Aren't you questioning why I didn't approve your game, I mean, you're garbage, not just you, you're all garbage.

Since you don't know how to make console games, let me teach you how to do it.

After the release of this series of first-party games, those manufacturers finally dispersed the concept of widespread seeding. I'm starting to plan to make a good game.

Nowadays, video games, although not alone, can be completed.

However, a small team of four or five people can still make a game that can still be watched after a week.

However, this kind of small team of four or five people is really not so reliable. Most of these small teams, because it is impossible to innovate within the company, have to follow the trend.

And Lin Yan doesn't have much to do with following the trend, but he has a big opinion on "inferior plagiarism".

As a result, these games were all killed by him.

It's like he made Pro Evolution Soccer and released it. Although soon someone imitated it. However, the kind is not as good as the imitation of Pro Evolution Soccer. Even the trajectory of the football game, which has not been dealt with, can you play it?

Imitation is not an end but a means, and imitation is for transcendence.

And Lin Yan threw out so many games at one time in order to provide these stupid third parties with a variety of templates that can be imitated.

Possibly, you say you're not good at side-scrolling games, no problem, you can do sports games. Soccer doesn't work, baseball doesn't work, tennis doesn't work.

What, you say you're not good at both. So you can make a fun fixed-screen game?

Because of this, among the games launched by Lin Yan, there is the game "Fire Squad". Sort of, an anthropomorphic version of "Arkanoid".

He didn't want to do it, but he was in a hurry.

He plugged the cassette that the long-haired youth had given him into the game console, entered the game screen, and from the right to the left of the screen, swiped through a short-legged villain named "Takahashi Celebrity's Adventure Island". (To be continued.) )
