Chapter 429 Prohibition of the sale of Sony games

Sitting in the business car that took him back, Yang Yun's smile instantly changed to a cold expression, and he told Wang Zhe and Zhongshan Hayao, who were waiting in the car, in detail what happened in the venue, as well as his own judgment.

He instructed: "Cult movies are originally niche, and this game adaptation will definitely be a 18-banned movie, and maybe it may be banned in some countries and regions, so we don't have to worry about the movie." The key is the game, you guys shoot, from now on, our two companies will show their own powers! ”

Wang Zhe said excitedly: "I have been ready for a long time!" Although the president of CESA is now Sony, most of the members are from our camp. In addition, most of the dealers in Japan have a close relationship with us, as long as they dare to cheat, they will definitely show their feet, once I am caught, Sony Group can not escape the crime of falsifying sales data, they are listed companies! ”

"Not all of Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Science and Technology support Sony, and we have a good relationship with the Sumitomo Foundation, and Kobayashi Mustang seniors are very willing to help us get through political relations," said Nakayama. Sony did this a bit excessively, selling blood and killing, and once it enters the ordinary family, it is likely to have a negative impact on Japanese teenagers! ”

Yang Yun didn't speak, the so-called killing a thousand enemies, self-injury eight hundred, what Hayao Nakayama said, is also a warning to the game "Resident Evil", this game enters ordinary families, it may also have a negative impact, but blood and killing are not its selling points, fear is, at least much better than "Zombie Siege"!

October 6th. Just the day after Sony's game was released, the first wave of media exploded.

The Asahi Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun respectively carried the banner of public opinion and morality, pointing the finger at the two giants of the Japanese game industry in early October, Sega and Sony, respectively launched zombie games, questioning the professional classification certification of Japan's CESA games.

The Japan Game Rating Board is controlled by CESA, formerly Yamauchi Pu, then Nakayama Hayao, and now Kuta Ragi Ken as the chairman, with many member units, and the participation of the government public sector and the Metropolitan Police Department. Ratings have always been carried out in accordance with a strict system.

But after the zombie game came out. This rating system began to be questioned, "Resident Evil" is an M rating of 17+, which everyone has no objection to, but "Zombie Siege" turned out to be an M rating of 17+. This has made many old-fashioned people in Japan oppose it.

The Asahi Shimbun wrote: "A full of killing. Violent. It's unthinkable that a bloody game can still reach level 17+. Adolescents between the ages of 17 and 20 are in the moment of adolescent rebellion. If they think that they can save the world by force by following Frank's example, holding a baseball bat, and encouraging them to practice their brawl skills on the streets? ”

The Yomiuri Shimbun, which has always been neutral, remains as it is this time, and it represents the most impartial voice: "Resident Evil is horror, just like horror movies, at least its gameplay dominates. But Dead Dead is no longer suitable for 17-year-olds, it must be rated as Adults-Only adults, and parents should try to avoid playing the game in front of children under the age of 18! ”

In addition to these two major newspapers, the Mainichi Shimbun also made a similar statement: "As a leading company in Japan's local game industry, Sony Games should bring a good example to the Japanese game industry." If bloody and violent killings become the mainstream of modern gaming, it will be devastating to the Japanese gaming industry! ”

There are many small media that follow the trend, most of them are playing the tiger of Sony, and by the way, the kitten of Sega.

In the eyes of the Japanese, games like "Resident Evil" can only be considered terrifying at best, even if there are headshots of losing heads, or headshots, there is no scene of spraying blood mist and splashing corpse fragments, while "Zombie Siege" is full of such bloody scenes.

Another key person, director Takashi Miike, wants to make the movie of the same name of "Zombie Siege", which makes the Japanese mainstream media find it unacceptable!

The director is 36 years old this year, graduated from a film school, and became famous as "Shinjuku Black Club", when the movie is played, each audience is equipped with a vomit bag, you can imagine how bloody and violent this kind of movie will be!

Extremist cult films, first of all, it is a niche film that is respected in a small range in the non-mainstream field, in a specific young group, and it is difficult to get a super high box office, and secondly, it focuses on extremism, that is, the very controversial personal views that the director may bring, and most of the films are heavy-tasted.

At a time when the mainstream society is advocating heroism and even instilling a lot of "science and technology are the primary productive forces" in science fiction films, the first game adaptation of Japan's largest film company is not for this kind of positive energy, and even intends to go to bloody killing and violent destruction.

Is this leading the trend of Japanese cinema? Is this a telling to the PlayStation platform what to do with the game in the future?

Before Ken Kutaragi could reply to these news outlets, the second wave broke out.

Officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and the Agency for Science and Technology approached Sony and stopped Norio Oga and Ken Kutaragi to discuss the removal of Zombie Siege.

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture oversees all domestic educational, academic, cultural, and sports affairs throughout Japan, and the head of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture is a member of the Japanese Cabinet.

They believe that Sony, as an important cross-industry multinational company in Japan, should not take the extreme route of sensationalism, but should shoot mainstream box office films and develop games that are positive and positive.

The Agency for Science and Technology, which also has oversight and responsibility for game software in Japan, has also strongly demanded a moratorium on the sale of Dead Dead games in Japan and a review of the membership list of the Japan Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association of the Japan Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association (CESA).

These two demands are equivalent to slapping Kutaragi Ken in the face and vetoing all the games and movies of "Zombies Siege"!

Ohga Norio's face turned blue, he looked at Kutara Kiken hatefully, he had already reminded the other party that he couldn't do this, but Kutara Kiken just didn't listen!

Norio Ohga is now in a period of power transition, and he has successively handed over the affairs of the Sony Group to others, but he didn't expect to be famous after the most remarkable, and before he was old, he fell a big heel, was targeted by the government department, and demanded to be taken off the shelves, adding a huge black spot to his perfect resume, this anger is conceivable!

And Kutara Muken was already stunned, and he asked unconvinced: "Is "Resident Evil" also going to be taken off the shelves? ”

"Yaga!" Norio Ohga couldn't help it, and scolded in front of the officials: "What does Sony's matter have to do with others?" Do you want to rely on others for what you have done wrong? ”

Kutaragi Ken muttered, he also hated in his heart, obviously it was Yang Yun who brought him to this pit step by step, if it wasn't for Yang Yun's stimulation, what else would he do to dig Fujiwara Tokuro? How could he possibly do Zombie Siege? If he doesn't make this game, he won't have to fight with Longteng in the emerging horror game field of zombies, let alone compete with Longteng in sales!

No, there has to be sales!

Ken Kutaragi shuddered, he couldn't admit defeat, and the game couldn't be taken off the shelves!

"Minister Fujita, President Oga, if we don't make a movie and agree to raise the game to the AO adult level, will we be able to keep the sales of this game?"

Ken Kutaragi cried and pleaded, "Sony Games can't remove this game from the shelves, so we will completely lose to Longteng Company...... Our PS platform will definitely collapse, and more than a year of hard work will come to naught......"

How did the officials not know this truth in their hearts? They are also unwilling to destroy the only Sony company that can compete with the dragon with their own hands, they just came to put pressure on Sony not to go too far, in fact, to make Sony pay attention to their own problems and come up with a solution as soon as possible.

"Movies are absolutely not allowed to be released, this kind of niche film, it is impossible to win the Oscar, maybe even the European Special Award, it will only become a shame in the history of Sony! But for the game, we give you a week to integrate CESA and the game is on sale again! "Minister Fujita can only decide that their superiors are under strong sniping in the cabinet, and the pressure is no less than Sony!

Norio Oga asked quietly when he saw off the officials, and received an ear reminder from Minister Fujita.

Sure enough, it was a group of people from the Sumitomo department who were operating, and the Kobayashi Mustang exerted his energy and put pressure from top to bottom, so that Sony's side had no chance to resist at all, so he could only pinch his nose and grit his teeth to suffer this loss.

On October 6th, "Zombies Siege", which had just been released for one day, suspended sales from all Nintendo and Sony franchise stores, sealed them, and returned them to Sony warehouses to wait for orders from headquarters.

A large number of PS game fans were surprised to find out that after this scene, rumors spread quickly.

"Sony has removed "Zombie Siege", this game seems to be banned from sale, but it may be lifted after a while!"

""Zombie Siege" was forcibly removed from the shelves one day after it was released!"

"PS games have been significantly affected, Sony games have been warned and forced to be taken off the shelves!"

"Sony's computer entertainment division has been shut down, Sony games are banned from sale forever, and the PS platform is about to go bankrupt!"

Rumors are getting more and more fierce, and more and more insider information is spreading, such as "Zombies Siege" for what will cancel the release on October 1, what exactly Sony has done during this time, what exactly has Sony embarked on a brutal anti-human path, and Ken Kutaragi is a......

Rumors stop at the wise, but unfortunately, many Japanese people eat this set!

Sony is entertaining the whole world! (To be continued......)
