"What a weird cover." At the same time, in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, the world-famous Waseda University, a game enthusiast, nibbling on a seaweed roll, holding a new issue of FAMI Pass, put his feet comfortably on the table, and said suspiciously.

"The cover of a magazine is the most important thing." He had just bought the magazine from outside, and there were several classmates in the video game club playing MD's new game, and he said without looking back

"Inexplicable question mark, inexplicable black hole......" he flipped through and continued to read: "The new work of the Qin Dynasty is revealed...... Entering the console world? The first game that exceeded everyone's expectations? ”

"Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of them." He shrugged his shoulders and continued to be annoyed, then his brow furrowed, "Am you mistaken? This, six, seven, eight...... Pages 11, 12...... Why are they all presentations? What game deserves such an exaggerated lineup......"

"Whoosh!" Before the words fell, the magazine in front of him was gone, and when he raised his head, he saw that several club members had gathered around him at some point and snatched his magazine.

"Hey! I haven't finished reading it yet! ”

"Go aside!" In exchange for three angry voices.

"You're not a fan of the Qin Dynasty, what else are you watching?" "Damn...... There was no report in the last FAMI pass! This issue is actually starting to report! I thought I hadn't reported it yet, and I didn't even go to the line! "It's finally here! We've waited so long! It's finally here! ”

The three of them, without a moment's delay, immediately read it hungrily.

"If there is a game in this world that is ahead of its time, people may not believe it. But after I interviewed the president of the Qin Dynasty and watched the shocking film at the C3 conference, I believed it. ”

At this moment, I don't know how many people have seen the article written by FAMITSU editor-in-chief and Yushi Mizuno himself: the arrival of a new era and the transformation of electronic entertainment.

Their eyes were all reflected on this line of words, and at the same time, in their hearts, at this moment, there were thousands of people in all of Japan, even two or three thousand, all of whom uttered the same cry!

We believed...... We're convinced! Yushi Mizuno's words express the spark of expectation hidden in the hearts of these two or three thousand people for a month!

They were the live audience of C3 that day! One of 10,000 lucky players around the world, and a self-paid player!

They didn't know that under the Jiangwan Stadium, there was a reversal miracle of the dragon and the tiger. All they knew was that they had seen the miraculous miracle in their hearts that night!

When entertainment has wings, it becomes art, and in just forty seconds, it completely interprets this art that bombards everyone's eyes!

The sword in Seth's hand, after a month of not fading, is still lifelike! They waited hungrily for this report, desperately urging FAMI, and at this moment, Yushi Mizuno's first sentence resonated with them.

"I believe it too......" Heiankyo, Kyoto Ward, Kyoto University, a male man with glasses had sparks in his eyes, as if he had returned to the night two months ago, when his pupils were constricted and his heart almost stopped beating.

"That night...... I just learned that I had been playing the game for more than ten years. The self-proclaimed genius of the game, so small in front of this game......" he emotionally stroked the fifteen-page color pages of FAMITSU's book this time, and said with emotion: "Those who have never experienced it can never imagine which fireworks suddenly bloom in the night sky...... I can't help but look forward to it...... And after two months of anticipation, I finally waited for the report! ”

"It's good that you know each other......" he glanced hatefully at the desk, on which there were dozens of letters addressed to FAMITSU, the words were fierce and emotional, and it was more like a threat than a letter.

"Finally waited for ......" Hitotsubashi University, a girl bit her lip and looked at the colorful cover, ignoring the inexplicable eyes of her club classmates. Said excitedly.

"For these two months, my heart has been on you!"

"Now, you've finally given me an answer!"

"Here we are...... Here it comes! Hahaha! It's FAMI-pass! It is worthy of the Qin Dynasty! Hahaha! In the bookstore in front of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, a man with messy hair and glasses laughed, ignoring the eyes around him.

After two months of anticipation, I desperately wrote letters, and it can be said that the thousands of letters from FAMI Pass were all spontaneously written by the players who were present at the time! Only a few are players in front of the TV.

Now that the long anticipation has become a reality, how can they not be happy?

However, they don't know that this is just the beginning of a period of crypto pain.

"Let me see!" Miyamoto took the magazine and read it aloud word by word: "Last week, I personally conducted an exclusive interview with the president of the Qin Dynasty, and finally got the first-hand information...... There's too much nonsense, skip it! ”

He looked at it at a glance and went straight to the point, and finally, his eyes lit up and he laughed, "This is it!" ”

"That piece of flower, once again, was confirmed to be the latest game of the Qin Dynasty. I don't think I need to introduce the Qin Dynasty as a company, for game fans, it's one of our three bibles. Their games are based on the theme of novelty, fun, and trendiness. None of the games disappointed me, and before I interviewed, I wondered what was even more remarkable about this game. ”

His voice became more and more excited, as if he was not so unable to vent the emotions in his heart: "In the interview, I know...... It is indeed different, compared to before, he is not completely innovative, at least President Qin did not reveal to us what he has innovated, but it is a complete change! Because of this game, it is currently decided to be an RPG genre! In terms of graphics, music, special effects, etc., it can't be compared to today's games at all! ”

"That's the difference between heaven and earth, President Qin has a sentence that I still remember, he said: This is a movie-level game. What is cinematic? That means the game is as beautiful as the movie! Move away from 2D and move into 3D. This is the first high-precision 3D game in human history, and it is completely incomparable to the polygon games that preceded it. Let's not talk about the playability, whether it's fun or not, the picture and music alone have surpassed the limits that human beings can imagine at present! ”

Okawa, next to Miyamoto, raised his head and took a deep breath, as if he recalled the time when he happened to see the C3 live broadcast that night and was shocked by those 40 seconds.

Not only him, but also the reporters at the time seemed to be shocked - this is what he was most angry about, because the camera was not completely aimed at the big screen!

"Indeed, this is a new challenge for the game." Okawa agrees with Mizuno Yushi's words, and there are some point-to-point words that they can't say as game fans, but for editors like Mizuno Yushi, they are at their fingertips. In just a few words, they expressed their approval of this game and the praise of this game.

Almost instantly, the Qin Dynasty easily captured tens of thousands of fans, and they were willingly on this side.

"It's a change in the eyeballs, it's a revolution in the game. I believe that this game will be a milestone no matter what, even if it doesn't live up to the requirements in the end......" Miyamoto's voice continued: "Its milestone status is unshakable, because because of its significance, it substitutes the player's eyeball into a cinematic world. I'm willing to bet that once the other side of the clouds and mountains is fully developed, it will bring a 3D storm. In the future, the cost of making games will become bigger and bigger! ”

"That's right!" Okawa slapped his thigh hard: "After watching the trailer of this game on the spot, I don't want to play the current sixteen-bit machine at all!" ”

"That's it, what else to say is far beyond the quality of the previous work. Hehe...... Can it be compared to the other side of the clouds and mountains? ”

"Don't make noise! Watch first, read it first! ”

The two became fans of the Qin Dynasty at the same time, and their hobbies were affirmed by the editor-in-chief of FAMITSU, the industry's No. 1 video game magazine, and the sense of accomplishment simply made them unable to press. But they didn't scream, because now there was more important things to do.

Reading!

Read this fifteen-page color page report!

After learning all the truth on the other side of the clouds and mountains, they will comment wantonly! By the way, Nintendo and Sega, the two companies that hold sixteen-bit machines as treasures, are sprayed half to death!

"Now, release the inside information. This news has been personally confirmed by the president of the Qin Dynasty. Seeing this, Okawa's palms were sweating. After the beautiful words, is it time to dry goods? It's better to have two more pictures, they haven't seen enough yet!

"First: This game, full name: The Legend of Sword and Fairy. The other side of the clouds and the mountains. The name is not entirely confirmed, but the gap is not far off. I used a literal translation in Chinese because Japanese could not translate the words 'fairy sword' and 'wonder man'. ”

"Second: this game, the price: two hundred dollars. President Qin personally affirmed that he would never change it. ”

"What!" At this moment, players who saw this sentence almost jumped up for some time!

"Two hundred dollars?" A BRITISH STUDENT STUDYING IN JAPAN, HOLDING A FAMI PASS, COVERED HIS MOUTH IN SURPRISE: "MYGOD...... This is an exaggeration! Is a game more expensive than a console? ”

"Am I right?!" In a dormitory, a young man almost jumped off a tatami mat: "Two hundred dollars?!" Nearly 20,000 yen for a game? This, this is the most expensive in history, right? ”

"SFC is only ninety-nine dollars! This game actually costs two hundred? At the door of the bookstore, I don't know how many people exclaimed.

Expensive, too expensive!

The host MD in this era is only 100 to ignore the dollar, but others are with a card! The actual selling price is around $120 to $130. Now a game surpasses the price of the console?

Todai, Miyamoto's heart was cold, two hundred dollars, it is really expensive for current students, it's not that they can't afford it, but it's also very painful to afford. It's impossible not to work for months!

He looked at it with a heartache, he wanted to see, is it the same as the host? If that's acceptable. But if it's alone......

If you buy a game, you have to buy a console, which ...... Didn't come down with three or four hundred dollars?

Four or five hundred dollars...... Even if your parents think it's expensive!

However, in the next sentence, he was stunned.

"I also think it's expensive for this price. However, I believe that after hearing the following set of data, readers will not find it expensive. ”

"On the other side of the clouds and mountains, the total investment: it has reached 400 million US dollars!"

"What?!" Miyamoto and Okawa, who didn't scream just now, couldn't bear it anymore at this moment.
