Three days later, September 13, Sega headquarters, Tokyo, Japan.

"Smack!" A stack of materials was slammed on the table, and Hayakuo Nakayama's face turned pale, and his lips trembled with anger as he looked at the report in front of him.

In front of him are several game magazines, including FAMITONG, the mouthpiece of the game industry today, and ElectronicGaming Monthly, the world's second-oldest European and American game magazine, these two leading magazines, all of which are written in red and eye-catching on the cover: The console market war is coming, and the Qin Dynasty officially announced its entry into the console market, and the storm is surging.

"9month10day,Qin Dynasty Company located in Shanghai, China,Officially announced its entry into the TV console market,Host name:Dragon Teng,The price is 180 US dollars,Bind the exclusive masterpiece:The other side of the cloud and mountain,The price is 120 US dollars。 It is expected to be released at Christmas...... This is a big change in the history of gaming. From Nintendo's dominance of the market in 83, to Sega's entry in 85, to the alliance between Sony and Nintendo in 88, to the current Qin Dynasty's entry into the console market, the electronic entertainment industry, known as the 'gold industry of the 80s', has moved towards a situation where a hundred flowers are blooming......

"It's a spectacular scene, and I can expect more companies to enter the industry in the future, and it's creating an artistic atmosphere. In many countries, children no longer spend their spare time on basketball courts and football fields, but a TV set and a game console can make children happier......"

The argument is very eclectic, however, there are two damn lists for these two magazines.

Asian Expectation Rankings, European and American Expectations Rankings!

On the other side of the clouds and mountains, the pinnacle of honor with undisputed first place! In Asia, the expectation value on the other side of the clouds and mountains is more than 50%, while in Europe and the United States, it has reached 73% unbelievably!

Stand out from the crowd!

It doesn't matter, too high expectations are a double-edged sword, and what makes Hayao Nakayama angry is that the riot and turmoil expected by players did not happen at all! Just like a docile kitten, Mi whined, and then smashed the ticket desperately!

The Saturn project has kicked off, and Sega has prepared a basket of plans, but the first thing is to intercept the birth of the dragon, more than 70% of the expected value, or sell it before them, unless there is a huge problem with the host of the Qin Dynasty, otherwise when Saturn is released, in addition to Sega iron fans, who remembers this thing of Saturn?

"WHAT ABOUT GAMEMAGAZINE?" He gritted his teeth and kept himself from reading the bunch of magazines, took a deep breath and asked, "Founded in '84, it's our own magazine from Sega!" Although it is not as powerful as FAMI, Europe and the United States are not as good as ElectronicGamingMonthly...... How many people can it drive? ”

No one answered, Yasuo Tabe, who was also sitting in the office, and Hideki Okamura had an embarrassed look on his face, and Hayabusa Nakayama's heart was nameless, and he forced his anger and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"Actually......" Hideki Okamura opened his mouth, finally sighed and took out a magazine: "Read it for yourself." ”

Take a look at it, and Hayabusa Nakayama is three feet tall!

's own magazine, and the cover is still the damn dragon!

"Who is the editor-in-chief! He doesn't want to do it anymore! Idiot! The anger in his heart was fully ignited, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "The expectations of the Qin Dynasty can't be broken!" At least now! So who let it help push up the expectations! Pigs! ”

Yasuo Tian was bitter in his mouth, who would have thought that this would be the end? FORGETTING TO NOTIFY THE GAMEMAGAZINE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT IN MY BUSY SCHEDULE, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL USE IT FOR THE COVER AS A MAJOR EVENT IN THE INDUSTRY.

"What about NintendoPower?" Hayabusa Nakayama said hatefully, "Don't tell me they ...... too"

"They don't. But this kind of major event in the industry must be reported carefully......" Deputy Yasuo finally sighed: "Nakayama-kun, what now?" I still don't understand, how did things come to this? Are the players crazy? Can't collapse with such high expectations? ”

No one spoke.

It's not that he can't figure it out, it's that everyone can't figure it out!

Why?

Why are there so many predecessors, even Atari has collapsed, this is still the overlord of video games in the late 70s and early 80s, and when it comes to electronic entertainment, it is impossible not to mention the company, but the Qin Dynasty is stable!

Who in the industry dares to move the expectations of players? He moved, and he survived!

"Wait." After a long time, Zhongshan Hayabusa grinded his teeth fiercely: "I don't believe in this evil...... It's impossible not to explode the expectations of players! This...... Forget it. But our eyes are nailed to him! I don't believe that with such high expectations, players can wait for them until the Spring Festival! ”

This is an obsession, and I have painstakingly prepared a large set of plans, but before I can make a move, I hear a voice "You are defeated," and ......

STILL DEFEATED BY A BUNCH OF FOOTMAN!

Some people also asked him if he was a person in the electronic entertainment industry!

This kind of grievance, he wanted to endure it, but like a flat boat in the sea, he was up and down, and as soon as he felt that he could endure it, he came up in an instant.

"I think it's strange too......" Hideki Okamura was also extremely unwilling, rubbing his fingers lightly and said, "This is too unrealistic...... Don't say you're unwilling, I'm not reconciled. I'm sure Nintendo won't be reconciled either, but ......"

He pursed his lips, and two cold glints shot out of his eyes: "It's not that there is no chance to stop Long Teng." ”

Nakayama's eyes also flashed, and he seemed to think of something, but he didn't speak.

"Let's reminisce." Hideki Okamura said in a deep voice: "The reason why Longteng is strong now is that he is the world's first 32-bit computer. The impact of the picture, the baptism of the eyeballs, this purpose, the Qin Dynasty has achieved by constantly releasing CG trailers. ”

"Originally, he would have blindly raised expectations by doing so. Typhoon Andrew and the Emperor's visit to China, which no one expected, caused a bubble of expectations, and we all thought that this bubble would burst at the touch of a ......."

He shook his head with a wry smile, and no one at the scene could speak. As a result, they are still puzzled.

"It's a bubble, though. The reason why we can't break it is because we don't have enough strength and the timing we choose is not good enough, it doesn't mean that this terrifying expectation is real. After a moment of composure, he said categorically: "At a bad time, in an unfavorable place, a battle with a difficult enemy was waged without results. It's not that their shields are too strong, it's that our spears aren't sharp enough to burst global expectations! ”

Hayao Nakayama nodded approvingly, and in fact, it wasn't just him, Nintendo said the same thing. Because no one believes, or no one wants to believe, that the Qin Dynasty can stabilize the collapse of Atari. Atari is still a generation of giants, what about the Qin Dynasty?

I don't want to admit that there is something I haven't figured out. This kind of inconclusive battle is too embarrassing, too angry, and everyone wants to escape the idea that "this is their own mistake".

They would rather think that this time it was not enough to drive the trend of global players, rather than that the Qin Dynasty was strategizing.

"Concert." There was silence in the room for a moment, and Hayao Nakayama gritted his teeth and said, "Global...... No game company has ever done this, and this will once again raise global expectations...... This is our sniper point. ”

"The concert was the turning point." At the same time, in Nintendo, Genhiro Takeda also gritted his teeth and said to everyone, "I don't believe it...... I don't believe it! No matter how high the expectation is, there is a degree! They can't endlessly raise expectations! This kind of thing has never happened in the business world! ”

"Although the electronic entertainment industry is also a new industry, the business district has its own rules...... Not to mention the Qin Dynasty, the Mitsui consortium didn't dare to play like this! Arakawa held back the evil fire in his heart: "I don't believe it either!" This time he was able to hide, and the concert was ...... This is the last feast before the release, will users and players around the world urge after seeing this scene? Will it break out? ”

The thief's heart does not die, and he does not ...... It's not that you don't want to die, it's that you don't want to die at all.

If they don't move this storm, forget it, but it will be ended before it starts! And I can't figure out why this is happening!

Who can endure such anger?

"Wait ......" Takeda Xuanyang clenched his fist fiercely, and a sentence floated out from between his teeth: "Christmas...... It's almost there, too. ”

Qin Yuanfeng didn't know about all of this, and he didn't care about it, he was more concerned about the progress of the game.

The mountains of materials are placed next to his desk, not documents waiting for him to review, but a copy of the characters, difficulties, values, difficulties, and easter eggs of each level...... And so on and so forth, everything related to the game.

A dragon trial machine and the other side of the cloud and mountain were in the office, and he spent the whole day playing in front of the TV, carefully checking each value.

In Qin Yuanfeng's office, in addition to the three of them, there are also three secretaries, who are only responsible for one job, that is, to record every word that Qin Dong said related to Yun and Shan.

"Is the difficulty of the P1 boss a little low? Although the refreshing game is enjoyable, players will also pursue depth problems after the coolness. Qin Yuanfeng pointed to the second boss and said: "In addition, don't mix and match styles, the style of this boss is still not too obvious, and the collocation of music, we must continue to keep improving." ”

Fingers flutter on the keyboard, and the three secretaries have a clear division of labor, one records the scene, one records the defects, and the other records the quotations, and they are very busy.

Jack was smoking a cigarette on the sofa, and suddenly said, "The last four months are the Spring Festival." ”

When Qin Yuanfeng heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "No matter how big the momentum is, the quality of the work is the first." ”

He understood this sentence too deeply. The most typical example is the sword spirit in the future. Tencent's momentum is in full swing, the whole country is hot, even if the players of Korean games know the name of Sword Spirit, what happened later?

After the sale, there was a lot of scolding. South Korea's NCSOFT has almost become the face of garbage game companies, and the huge gap between hope and reality has made too many players uninstall the game in anger. It's true that Tencent has made a lot of money through activation code operations, but the future games of the NCSOFT brand are almost unpopular.

Propaganda and quality, it is impossible to tell who is light and who is important. Before the work comes out, without publicity, the work is equivalent to half of it. A good means of publicity can make the work return to its original cost before it appears, such as Sword Spirit. However, the serious inconsistency of quality and publicity will cause the company's brand to be devastated, if it is a small and medium-sized company, it can be completely changed to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul. But for the first party like the Qin Dynasty, doing so is undoubtedly self-defeating.

"Knock knock......" At this time, the door rang, and Su Heiye walked in and said with a smile: "Dear Qin Dong, a man named Vincent. Mr. Blanguis's begging to see him in the hall. Claiming to be a representative of Carnegie Hall. Excuse me? ”

"Invite him in." Qin Yuanfeng put down the handle and rubbed his sour eyes: "The sprint of the last four months...... The music conference is already the prelude to the sprint, and with more than two months to go until Christmas, he should be in a hurry. ”
