And, having said that, for Ken Kutaragi, or the newly established SCE, it won't work without Namco and Hudson.

Ken Kutaragi is not worried about the hardware problem, he is worried about the software side.

Whether it's Nintendo or Mars Entertainment, when they release a new console, they will definitely match a lot of sequels to the game works that were very popular with players before they are released, so that players will naturally buy their new consoles in order to be able to play the sequels of these games they liked before, so that sales will naturally increase.

But they don't have that advantage.

This is why Ken Kutaragi attaches so much importance to Namco and Hudson, when PC-E was first released, there was a sales boom, which was caused by the release of Namco and Hudson's games at the same time.

Players buy game consoles to play games, not to eat ashes, and Kutaragi Ken knows this deeply.

"To be honest, I don't seem to be deceiving the two of you, saying something unreliable or promised, because these seem to me to be meaningless, I just want to express our determination at Sony this time, and seek like-minded partners."

After pondering for a long time, Kutaragi Ken finally spoke.

But Kudo Yuji was not satisfied with his words, this kind of thing similar to a mouth cannon really didn't sound the slightest use to him, so he said very unceremoniously as before: "With all due respect, Mr. Kutaragi, it still makes no sense to me to rely on determination alone, and that's what the people at NEC told me before." We've already been through it once and don't want to go through it again. ”

Kutaragi Ken wasn't angry, he just smiled. He had already thought about the only possibility he could convince the other party, and then continued: "I'm here now. It's true that we can't give you a promise, because we're not Mars Entertainment, and we don't have a large number of fans like them, but we can give you a guarantee that our next era of consoles will definitely make a great breakthrough. ”

"Breakthrough?"

After hearing this statement of Kutaragi Ken, Kudo Yuji sneered, and seemed to disdain the other party's statement. In his mind, is it only you Sony who can make breakthroughs in hardware, and other manufacturers don't know?

Unexpectedly, Nakamura Masaya, who had not spoken before, opened his mouth, he interrupted Kudo Yuji's speech, and then looked at Kutaragi Ken, and asked in an inquiring tone: "Mr. Kuta, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, can you say, what is the breakthrough you are talking about?" ”

"This ......"

When Kutaragi Ken heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. It's not that I can't say that although this is still not known to everyone within Sony, he still has some power as the vice president of SCE. It's just that......

Seeing this reflection of Kutaragi Ken, the mocking expression on Kudo's face became even more unscrupulous, even in Nakamura Masaya's eyes, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed, but he still smiled faintly, and seemed to say indifferently: "If it's inconvenient, then forget it." ”

"No, no!"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Kutara Muken, who had come to ask for help this time, naturally wanted to quickly explain, and he hurriedly said: "It's not that you can't say it. It's useless to just say it, but I can't demonstrate it here. If I had to say it, I could only say it. Our next era of game opportunities is a very powerful machine in dealing with 3D, as for how good our Sony's current 3D presentation ability is, just rely on me here, it's useless, if you two are willing, I can lead the two to our R&D center to visit the site, and you will know if what I said is a lie. ”

“3d？”

After hearing this explanation from Ken Kutaragi, Kudo Yuji didn't say anything, and Nakamura Masaya took the lead in repeating a 3D, which was a question sentence, but there was no doubt in it, but a conclusive tone.

Then his eyes flashed a little strangely, and his tone became a little urgent, first he was silent for a few seconds, and then he seemed to have made a decision, and he said directly to Kutaragi Ken: "Mr. Kutaragi, if you can, can you take us to see the 3D effect you are talking about now?" I'm very interested in what you said about this. ”

Future games will inevitably be 3D, this is the judgment made by Ken Kutaragi, but not everyone agrees with this judgment, such as Yamauchi, who once talked about this issue with Yamauchi when he cooperated with Nintendo on behalf of Sony.

When Yamauchi heard him say that the future game will inevitably be 3D mainstream, Yamauchi laughed, and didn't even have the idea of listening to his explanation, but just denied it in a very shallow tone.

At the time, Yamauchi said, "If the game of the future becomes mainstream in 3D, then he will walk with his head." ”

Of course, this kind of contempt was a joke in the eyes of others, but as Ken Kuta, who was sitting in front of Yamauchi at the time, it was obvious that it was Yamauchi's own thoughts, and this was not his joke, that was what he really thought - that's what he thought.

After that, Yamauchi Pu mentioned to Kutaragi Ken that he wanted him to join Nintendo, and would entrust him with important tasks, but was politely rejected by Kutaragi Ken with his idea of not leaving Sony, in fact, for Kutaragi Ken at that time, if he wanted to go to Nintendo, it was also a good choice.

Although Nintendo's R&D capabilities at that time were far inferior to Sony's, this could be improved, and it was not critical to be backward, the key was to refuse to accept new ideas.

And the reason why Kutaragi Ken is full of confidence in the game industry is because he once inadvertently saw the magic of 3D technology, which is really the power to turn decay into magic, so that he has a kind of thing that was just a juggling toy before, and in the future, it will inevitably become a big thing.

But now, Yamauchi Pu said that there is no way out of 3D, and only 2D is needed to develop games.

Such a theory is completely contrary to Ken Kutaragi, in such a situation, how can he be the other party? The so-called not understanding and not conspiring with each other, that's it.

Seeing the excited expression on Nakamura Masaya's face, Kutaragi Ken was also quite surprised, he didn't expect the other party to be so interested in the 3D of games that are not popular yet, but since the other party mentioned it, of course he would not disappoint the other party, so Kutaragi Ken also quickly replied: "If you want, you can do it at any time." ”

Kudo Yuji is not interested, but Nakamura Masaya has a great enthusiasm for it, and after he whispered a few words to Kudo Yuji, Kudo Yuji also agreed, and they can now go to a Sony R&D center with Kutaragi Ken to see the so-called 3D technology that Kuda Raagi has stepped into the sky.

For Jester, in addition to completing the setting of the RTS game, he also had to worry about the location of the main playground to be built.

This is his cooperation project with Samsung, and the initial plan is to build three in North America first, one is in Los Angeles, the largest metropolitan area on the West Coast, which is also Disney's lair, and the second is in Chicago, which is the core city in the middle of the United States, nicknamed the Wind Capital, the second largest financial center in the United States, and the third is naturally the most famous city on the East Coast, New York.

But things have to come step by step, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, first build the first main amusement park, with this experience, for the construction of the other two will also be half the effort, not to mention, Los Angeles is also the nest of Mars entertainment, and it is also advantageous to build the first one here.

As for overseas, there are naturally plans, but two are initially planned, one in Tokyo and the other in Seoul, and the construction order of Seoul is ranked after the one in Tokyo, in fact, in Jester's opinion, he didn't plan to build the one in Seoul, but this was a decision made at the insistence of Lee Kun-hee.

Samsung, as a South Korean company, can't abandon Seoul no matter what, and Jester also knows this, so after thinking about it, he agreed.

"Mr. Li, if you choose here, it's too close to Disney's!" The director in charge of this on the Samsung side saw that Jester had chosen the address, which was very close to Anaheim and even half an hour's drive from Disney's amusement park, so the person in charge of this matter was a little hesitant to propose his own proposal.

It's just that the tone is a little worried, but this is normal, as a predecessor in this industry, Disney's prestige is too great, and they are just a small challenger in this regard.

This director has just arrived, and the previous one was seriously ill by chance, so he had to send another one from the headquarters, named Yin Bingxi, it is said that his father is a descendant of Lee Kun-hee, and he is very valued by Lee Kun-hee, and Li Fuzhen went shopping in New York during this time, so he did not come to pester Jester.

Jester Tong Guò also knew what Li Fuzhen meant during this period of contact, but he himself was not an abusive person, so he could only stay away, but it seems that this effect is not very great, at least from Li Fuzhen's side, Jester seems to feel that the other party is moved by true feelings, not the kind of foaming feelings that his sister has for his brother.
