Who is looking away from this? The two sides are now the boss of the global TV game industry, Sega, and the second sony, the topic content is so hot, and the rhetoric is so sharp, of course, the ratings are not low, and the interview program is not only rebroadcast many times by NHK, but also triggered a big discussion in the Japanese game media by the way.

In addition to the three Kawashima Ko, the guests of the interview also have Hayato Nakayama, who is very familiar to everyone, who took the initiative to change from fighting Nintendo to fighting Sony without hesitation.

The host first introduced the guests, and then after Hayao Nakayama announced that Sega would reward 30 million yen to Kawashima and others, he threw out the first question of the day: "Sega's move is telling the world that if you jump to Sega from a competitor, you will get a high reward, or is it really worth it for the three of them?" ”

Hayao Nakayama took out a board that had been prepared in advance, on which was written the Japanese word "talent," and said meaningfully: "Someone has said to me, what is the most important thing in the 21st century?" Talent! From the perspective of the gaming industry alone, in my opinion, the content and creativity of a classic game are important, but the developers who give the game its soul are the most important assets. ”

The host said with a smile: "This sentence is very different from our usual cognition, ordinary people may think that the conditions for success must be sufficient funds, scientific and effective management, high-quality education, a large platform, a high starting point, or an excellent idea that is enough to reverse the situation, but everyone forgets that it is people who create all this." Can you tell us who said that? ”

Hayao Nakayama smirked and said, "Of course it's our President Yang!" His ideas are always one step ahead, so no one can catch up with him. ”

Everyone laughed and applauded. Yang Yun is really a different person, and his thinking, thoughts and practices are quite different from ordinary people. This may be the secret of his success!

The host then asked about the details of leaving Sony to join Sega, and Kawashima said a little shyly: "The three of us are responsible for the Windows 95 system porting of the "Zombies Siege" game at Sony. The PS version was made with some changes and a half-finished product, but President Kutaragi vetoed the idea. Later, many companies approached us, but we finally chose Longteng, they promised to give us the most free creative platform, they thought the three of us were talents! ”

The audience laughed loudly, Kawashima Gong and the three were all young people with only two or three years of work experience, who had just passed the cautious period of new employees, and had not degenerated into old employees who did not want to make progress. Now is the period when their thinking is the most active and the most thinking, and the fact that Sony vetoed them at this time, but Long Teng admitted them, is worth pondering.

The moderator asked, "President Nakayama, as fellow practitioners, shouldn't they be able to bring the ideas they thought of when they worked for Sony to the Sega platform?" ”

Hayao Nakayama nodded: "Sony doesn't have to worry about us copying Zombie Siege, in fact. This game doesn't seem to me worth mentioning, and I didn't bother to ask for the full set of source code even if it was given to me! As I said, as long as the three of them come over, we'll guide them in developing other games. They just need to let their imagination run wild. ”

Seeing that Hayao Nakayama began to enter the taunt mode, the host became interested and asked, "Is "Zombie Siege" really so bad?" Now none of us have seen the new promo. And until the game is released, no one knows what will happen to the road. Are you so sure their games aren't as good as Dragon? Did they look away? ”

Hayao Nakayama said disdainfully: "Of course, they didn't just look away. And arrogantly think that what he insists on is right. I can reveal an inside information here, the main designer of the game "Zombies Siege" turned out to be an employee of our company, and he left a copy of the original design of "Resident Evil", and then jumped to Sony! ”

What the! The host and the audience exclaimed, this is explosive news!

This kind of secret in the game world, if it is not told by the person concerned, it is impossible for outsiders to know.

Long Teng is the party that was poached, and under normal circumstances, this kind of ugly thing Long Teng will not take the initiative to say it, which is very embarrassing.

Sony is using black methods to poach people, and it will not take the initiative to mention it.

So Hayao Nakayama broke the inside story so bluntly, which made the audience as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were excited, it turned out that the two companies had this kind of entanglement, no wonder they would be like mortal enemies in the zombie game, and they would not back down!

The host quickly found the key point and asked, "You mean, even if the original designer of "Resident Evil" jumped to Sony to design "Zombie Siege", do you think that what Sony made is not as good as the initial version of "Resident Evil"?" ”

Hayao Nakayama smiled mysteriously, "Sony can't use the oldest original case, so they have to make changes, and the content of "Zombie Siege" is already mostly different from the original case. At the same time, we will not continue to use the original plan, our current "Resident Evil", compared with the original plan, has undergone a earth-shaking change, is a new plan made by President Yang himself! ”

The moderator asked, "I just noticed that you emphasized one word, change. Do you mean that while everyone is starting with the oldest version of Resident Evil, both companies are looking for changes, but the results of the changes are not the same? ”

Hayao Nakayama said with satisfaction: "Yes, change, or innovation, has always been the most important quality of Longteng Company. It is because of their sense of innovation that the three of them have come into our sight, and we need more innovators to join. And Sony, since they vetoed all this and continued to stubbornly do "Zombie Siege" that I don't think is worth mentioning, I just want to say one thing, Sony has lost its eyes, Sony will lose! ”

This passage has aroused a deep understanding of people in the Japanese game industry, and everyone is pondering.

"Ridiculous! Where are they innovating? It's a fool's errand! When Ken Kutaragi saw this, he wanted to smash the teacup in his hand on the TV.

"Supermarket chaos? Hum! Don't be creative! I don't believe the three of them can really make any new games! Innovation, that's just to cover up the evil of Longteng's malicious digging of the wall! ”

But the program interview did not invite Ken Kutaragi to debate, and no one could hear his anger.

After an ad break, the host began inviting the audience to participate in the interaction and took the initiative to conduct phone interviews with commentators waiting outside the venue.

The representative of the audience spoke up about the players' thoughts: "We players have noticed that many new game genres were proposed by LongGame for the first time, such as the real-time strategy game "Saloman: Dune 1993", the novelty and creative game "Zuma", and the love adventure AVG game "Heartbeat Memories". We are very much looking forward to Resident Evil innovating again, and we are also looking forward to Mr. Kawashima being able to bring innovations that Sony does not approve of to the LongGame platform! Come on! ”

Ko Kawashima clasped his hands together and thanked the audience representatives: "As you wish, our 'Forsaken' team will be coming up with a new and interesting game next year!" ”

The host asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'forsaken'?" Is this an alias for your group of three? ”

Hayao Nakayama sneered: "Sony forgot them, aren't they the forgotten?" In fact, if they don't refuse, I'm willing to call them 'outcasts'!" ”

The audience laughed, and the three of them were smiling, but they didn't dare to say such things, although they also wanted to make excellent games for Sony to see, so that the arrogant Sony could see that it was a wrong choice to abandon them, and slap the old club hard.

But the limelight thing, let's hand it over to the mouth cannon Hayato Nakayama, this old man bombarded Nintendo with his mouth cannon, and now continues to bomb Sony, it can really be said that he came with his mouth open, merciless, and unscrupulous!

Kutaragi Ken in front of the TV really dropped the cup this time, obviously it was an ordinary project decision, this kind of directing the research direction of the project, vetoing one thing to support the other, he has done it 50 times, not 100 times, how can it be in the mouth of Hayato Nakayama, it completely changed its taste?

"Yaga! This old immortal thing! "Kutaragi Ken didn't know how to scold Hayakuo Nakayama, he finally realized what it means to be experienced in scolding battles, and just the mouth cannon can make him uncomfortable!

At this time, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, it turned out to be Pu Yamauchi!

"President Kutaragi, I wonder if you're watching an NHK TV show? If you're not watching, I hope you can watch it soon, I think Sony should think about what to do! Otherwise, you will be dragged into endless quarrels just like us, and then lose your mind and be defeated! ”

Syllable! The phone hung up, and Yamauchi Pu was not a mockery, but a solemn warning, which made Kutaragi Ken break out in a cold sweat!

Is Sony's situation the same as Nintendo's back then?

Looking at Hayao Nakayama talking eloquently on TV, Ken Kutaragi pondered.

Next, the moderator contacted the commentator outside the venue, who is a senior expert on NHK TV's long-term focus on the anime and game industry and policies.

The commentator's question is even more thought-provoking, to the core, and sharply frightening.

"Last year, Nintendo, which had once been the world's No. 1 company, completely collapsed and became a second-rate company, with a market share of less than 20%. We thought that Sega's acquisition of Capcom Konami was a vicious competition among the Chinese, and everyone was calling on the government to protect their own economy, vigorously support and improve the incentive mechanism, and Sony and Nintendo also benefited from this, snatching back a part of the market from Sega, each accounting for 50%! ”

"But today, we seem to hear another voice, spoken by the person concerned, with a very high degree of credibility, and I am afraid that this is an important reason why Nintendo failed and Sony was unable to reverse the decline with the support of the government. That is, the decline of Japanese video games, is it not as strong as the Chinese, or is it caused by the Japanese themselves? (To be continued......)
