"Sega, Sony, Nintendo, NEC and other companies jointly sent experts to set up a committee to discuss and formulate a video game evaluation standard, and set up the world's most authoritative video game evaluation committee."

"The committee re-rated all the games and evaluated them in terms of length of play, crowd coverage, controls, game sales, game quality, etc. The total score is 100 points, and the score of 90 points or more is the platinum hall level, the gold hall level of 80 points or more, and the silver palace level of 70 points or more. ”

"Each winning game will receive a different level of prize money to encourage original companies to contribute to the game business and look forward to their next game being even better."

This is the core content of Longteng's proposal, which is Yang Yungan's old business, which has changed the scoring criteria of Famitong magazine and prepared to make it an authoritative game evaluation in the game industry.

What kind of magazine is Famitsu? Founded in Japan in 1986, it was only spread to China after 2004, called "Video Game Pass", as an independent magazine that sells no more than 1 million copies of a weekly magazine, it can be seen from the name "Famitsu", they are kneeling Nintendo's feet, and the butt is quite wrong.

Because Japan is also a humane society, it is entirely possible that the four judges and editors of Famitong Magazine have made a real and objective rating of all the participating games because of personal tastes, or personal relationships with Nintendo manufacturers, or because of various external environments such as money exchanges.

For example, "Grand Theft Auto 3" has a score of 32 points, which can be regarded as a golden palace, and almost fell into silver. What has it become in Europe and the United States?

"Genealogy of the Flame Holy War" has a score of 31 points, which is not even gold. 1 point higher than the Silver Palace.

"Pokemon Red Green", 29 points. Can't even get silver, what did these editors eat to grow up? The world's best-selling game has a score of 29?

"Sky Trail SC", 28 points, this is the best reputation in China, the most popular Sky Track, just this score.

Also, "Heartbeat Memories", 27 points. The originator of the love category, let's not talk about it.

"The SS version of The Legend of Sword and Fairy", 22 points, while Xuanyuan Sword 3 and Traces of Heaven have not yet been evaluated on TV game consoles......

Otherwise, how could Yang Yun deliberately pick this magazine to sacrifice the flag? It is better to hand over the rating to a third-party magazine in the pro-Nintendo camp, and let the game platform provider pay for it to find people, and then make a truly authoritative game rating!

For Sony, of course, it is best to control the scoring criteria themselves.

But after Kutaragi Ken saw this mentions, he was in trouble. He kept scolding in his heart, Long Teng was really scheming, this was using the yang conspiracy on the table to fight them, but he felt like eating a fly. It's disgusting, but I can't tell if it's bitter!

"President, there is still half an hour before the press conference starts. Do you want to go and prepare in advance? The deputy cautiously prompted.

Kutaragi Ken said helplessly: "I know, let me calm down first." ”

Get the proposal an hour early. It's deliberately uncomfortable, not to mention the greasy in the rating. Just looking at the reward mechanism, the content is actually similar to the reward fund made by 3DO and Longteng at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

However, at that time, the establishment proposed by 3DO was to reward small companies with a turnover of no more than 1 million US dollars, which belonged to the poverty alleviation plan, but the advocate 3DO company went bankrupt not long after, and the execution of the plan was greatly reduced, and it was useless, and those small companies that had been looking forward to poverty alleviation for a long time ridiculed 3DO, they didn't have much ability, and the cowhide was quite big.

Now that Longteng himself proposed to make a reward plan in the video game industry, only rewarding palace-level game companies, and there is no content to support weak and small enterprises, Kutara Takaki Ken believes that this is Yang Yun's careful selection and deliberate.

He is very aware that Longteng and Sega have been doing support for weak and small businesses, but only for game suppliers of Sega's exclusive games, which is a very broad support program that costs tens of millions of dollars every year.

Similarly, Nintendo is also here, and it is all burned by platform companies, trying to get the support of a large number of weak and small enterprises, and tying the vast number of small companies with the largest base to their respective chariots.

The committee's proposal, which mimics Fami's scoring criteria, is to select classic and fun games, and then give them financial incentives to reward them for continuing their efforts.

It seems to be a good thing for the whole industry, across multiple platforms and borders, so that the entire industry can benefit, benefit the country and the people, and develop benign and long-term.

But for Sony, it's not so simple, Kutaragi Ken sighed silently in his heart: "If Sony doesn't participate, then it is conceivable that the organizing committee, which is controlled by Sega, will definitely make unfair ratings for PS platform games in the future, or even simply not rate PS platform games." Isn't that forcing us to participate? ”

That's right, Yang Yun is planning to force Sony to participate, contribute people and money, and similarly, Nintendo only has one way to participate, and if you don't participate, it will be a mortal ending.

Now the question arises, what benefits can Sony and Nintendo get after participating in this alliance?

"Is there any benefit to us? Hmph, are you going to make us the ones who pay for it and give most of the prize money to the game companies in the Sega camp? Kutaragi Ken quickly figured this out.

At this moment, Nintendo is in decline, Sony is just starting, and most of the platinum games are from the Sega camp, and this feast is destined to have nothing to do with Sony.

Nintendo may have The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario series and still get a piece of the pie, what does Sony have?

As the influence of this rating system grows and players are influenced by the abundance of information, many people will change from watching ads to playing games.

To play the game, you only need to look at this authoritative list, after the game of the platinum palace is played, then the gold level, the silver level, and as for the other low-rated games, unless it is a special type, you don't want to touch it, because you don't have to waste that money.

At that time, it will be a huge blow to the games that are not on the list!

"What a means! If you don't participate, you will die, and if you don't participate, you will drink chronic poison and die slowly! Kutaragi Ken felt a burst of sadness, pounded heavily against a wall beside him, and said to himself through gritted teeth: "Is it really going to drive us to a dead end?" ”

The same scene also appeared at the Nintendo headquarters in Japan, where Yamauchi Pu received an emergency call from Jace, and after hearing the construction proposed by Long Teng, he was extremely angry in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.

Minoru Arakawa followed his father-in-law and said cautiously: "Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Longteng's scoring plan does not need the participation of Sony and us at all, they can make it themselves, and using the magazine "The Power of Sega" as a carrier, it won't take long to control the public opinion of the game media." President, we can't get involved, we have to join forces with Sony against Sega, otherwise we don't have any chance of winning! ”

Yamauchi sneered and asked, "Can you make decisions on behalf of Sony?" ”

Minoru Arakawa couldn't make a promise, and muttered, "I'm going to contact Ken Kutaragi ......"

Yamauchi snorted, seemingly very dissatisfied with his son-in-law's appearance.

But he knows very well in his own heart, he is dissatisfied with Sega's approach, and he is dissatisfied with the state of being compromised but unable to do anything, Nintendo has fallen behind Sega too much, and if he is backward, he will be beaten, and the former king has become the object of being pinched and rubbed by the other party.

Jace, who received the order, hurried to the Sony exhibition area, and saw Ken Kutaragi, who was about to leave, and was about to say the interview with the headquarters, but was interrupted by the latter.

"I'm going to have a press conference now, and I'll talk about it later!" Kutaragi Ken didn't have any expression and said calmly, making Jace's heart sink.

Sure enough, at Sony's press conference, Ken Kutaragi only mentioned Nintendo's cooperation and collaboration, and did not list them as a strategic partnership, let alone reveal that Sony holds 5% of Nintendo, and the two companies will share the game production directory!

Jace, who smelled the unusual smell, left with a gloomy face, he wanted to report this qiē to the headquarters, according to the original plan, Sony would announce the news of the cooperation between the two sides when the PS was released, and now, they dared to hide the truth!

……

……

"Hah! Mr. Yang, I'm afraid Nintendo will be tricked by Sony this time! Zhang Guoqiang watched the video broadcast of the press conference and was a little gloating.

Yang Yun smiled faintly: "Two years ago, Sony was put on a table by Nintendo, and now Sony is back, what's so strange?" Our plan is to take out the divisive situation, and Sony must participate, but Nintendo certainly does not want to. In the future, as long as the three of us have entanglements of interests, I can make them cooperate. ”

To deal with Sony and Nintendo, Yang Yun has no help or helper, he can only rely on himself, and he can come up with any means.

Of course, the conspiracy is only an external means, the most important thing is to improve your own skills, make more games, and defeat your opponent in the main business!

After the first day of the CEA show, Yang Yun began to enjoy the president time alone, leaving everything to other subordinates to do, and he came to the famous Michael Jordan restaurant in Chicago alone, which is a legend of the Chicago Bulls, as the president of the NBA team, it is impossible to say that he is not interested in Jordan......

Of course, this time Yang Yun didn't come to dig Jordan, he made an appointment with four people, the vulture four, there were a lot of them, and none of them were left behind.

If it were placed in normal times, the four of them would be reluctant to enter such a high-end place, but Yang Yun personally invited guests, and this nature was very different!

Perhaps, Vulture Studios will skyrocket and become a world-famous game company from today! (To be continued......)
