Chapter 549 - A number of new games for TV consoles

The creative team of "Cherry Blossom Wars" is the HAL group, created by Satoshi Iwata, which is a combination of love development and strategy games, guided by the chief planner of "Heartbeat Memories", and the animation of the same name is produced by CLAMP Okawa Nanase, the game is not yet finished, and the comic book has been made, the character image, vivid and lively, full of beauty, or a mecha girl!

"Heartbeat Memories" is a man against many women, and "Cherry Blossom Wars" is the same, the player plays Ichiro Ogami who will serve as the leader of the flower group, and he will also swim among the flowers, surrounded by many beautiful women.

But the AVG+SLG mode is a new idea that goes beyond "Heartbeat Memories" and joins mecha battles in addition to pure love, which is a new wine in an old bottle, which is refreshing.

Female classmates instantly become female team members, in addition to the battle scenes, there are also small misunderstandings, heart-warming moments, female team members' affection, and jealous plots, those cute characters can also stimulate the desire of male players to protect.

Satoshi Iwata stated his original intention to design this game, which was highly approved by Yang Yun, who took the initiative to applaud his divergent thinking and innovative ideas.

In addition to the development of game peripherals, Iwata Satoshi also tried his best in peripherals, he customized a special Sakura War mouse, allowing players to operate with a mouse on the console, which is a rare generosity on the SS platform, general games do not allow mouse control, even if it is a real-time strategy game like "Dune 1993", you have to use a joystick to control the cursor.

The planning book of the "Cherry Blossom Wars" game is very thick, Ma Liang took the original version and handed it to Yang Yun to see.

The script is very old. There are not many traces of alterations on it, indicating that the final revision went well. Most Japanese people are very serious about what they do, and Satoshi Iwata has done a very detailed job of planning "Sakura Wars". Not surprisingly, the review department of Longteng Games did not stop it at all, and it has been in development for almost three months now, and it has entered the final testing stage.

Iwata Satoshi is really a god, in addition to the daily operation and management, he actually has the energy to personally lead the team to develop the game, Yang Yun is really overjoyed!

Yang Yun didn't have any opinions on this game, and he didn't even mention any revisions. Only one word was said: "Do!" ”

What else to say, "Sakura Wars" was originally a game made by Sega itself, and it has this unique advantage, which only requires him to tilt his resources a little, and this is definitely a best-selling series.

In addition, Capcom's "3D Mega Man" is an old wine in a new bottle, and Mega Man has been upgraded from the two-dimensional world by half a dimension to a 3D version in a video game.

Considering Capcom's strength has always been extraordinary, and the Mega Man game brand reputation is very good. Ma Liang also approved the production application of this game early, and Yang Yun will also not deny this game and pass it again.

Sega's 3rd R&D Group's "Super Age of Discovery" is clearly a parody of the glorious company "Age of Discovery". Although it can be seen from the plan that the game is gorgeously made, the structure is very complete, and all kinds of details are well prepared. But Yang Yun is the least optimistic about this game.

He believes that one has no soul. A game that does not have the core core competitiveness will not last long.

Even if Dragon Teng makes various effects, it surpasses the SS version of "Age of Discovery". So what? Without innovation and upgrading, will it still squeeze the PC market of Glorious Company? Who can guarantee that these SS players who are obsessed with nautical games will not bring countless business opportunities to the glorious PC nautical game in the future? It's counterproductive!

"It can mimic the mature mode of well-known games, and Sakura Wars is a hybrid mode that borrows the core setting of Heartbeat Memories and then makes a strategy game war, so I dare to judge that its potential is definitely not small. But for Super Age of Sail, I glanced at it and saw that there was nothing creative that caught my eye, so please tell me what makes this game different from Age of Discovery. ”

Just now, the house was full of joy, and as soon as Yang Yun said this, all the people in the room were dumb.

Sega's third R&D team has been involved in the production of console games such as "Sonic" and "Resident Evil", and this is the first time that all the content has been independently planned, so it is inevitable that it will be a little rusty, so the traces of imitation are very heavy.

"There is not much content about sailing, and "Age of Discovery" has come out to the third generation, with the word-of-mouth accumulation of the previous two games, Glorious Company has almost occupied all the resources of sailing games. So we want to ......" Ma Liang's face was slightly red, and the more he said it, the more he felt empty, this was an idea he had never had.

It's like watching a teacher question you, and all the confidence you were full of, the courage you mustered, and the reasons you found suddenly all disappeared, and it didn't stand up at all.

Yang Yun raised his eyebrows: "Since you know that it is difficult to fight against the nautical game of the glorious company, then re-plan these contents and do something that the glory can't do!" Note that our SS console and PC console cannot be compared with the game capacity, as well as the convenient operation brought by the mouse, and the stronger is the image quality and running speed, you should make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. The characteristics of nautical games are novelty, nostalgia, business, retro, exploration, freedom, add more of these contents! ”

Ma Liang heard a little meaning, and asked a little hurriedly: "Are you saying that in addition to ordinary seafaring expeditions and commercial trade, it would be better for us to increase our expeditions to inland cities?" ”

Yang Yun smiled: "Are you sure this is a nautical game?" But you can try to do it first, add a few large cities, try out the players' tastes, gather their reactions, and prepare for the next version. ”

When a few frustrated people heard this, they immediately raised their heads, it turned out that Mr. Yang did not completely veto this game!

"We are a newcomer to the nautical game, and it is difficult but challenging to stand up to an honorable company that has been in business for many years. Since you have chosen to enter this game genre, you must be tenacious and persevering, even if you burn money, even if you can't see a return for a few years, Longteng will not hesitate. Please remember that the spirit of Longteng company is innovation, and take out your 12 points of wisdom! ”

The person in charge of Sega's third R&D group was happy, and Ma Liang also had a relaxed expression, they were really scared just now, for fear that Yang Yun would throw away the plan and veto this plan.

It's not easy to get Yang Yun's approval, so many of them have gathered together to discuss, discuss, quarrel, and fantasize, and from their own eyes, this is definitely a good game.

No one expected that Yang Yun's vision would be so critical, nor did they expect that Yang Yun's determination and ambition were much greater than theirs.

Sega's second R&D team's "Grandia", Square Enix's three games "Macross Wheel", "Legend of the Holy Sword 3", and "Final Fantasy 7", Yang Yun just took a cursory look at the contents, let them go, and signed them.

Needless to say, known as "Final Fantasy 7" on the SS platform, "Grandia" is the only SS platform RPG game that can compete with the PS platform "Final Fantasy 7" in real history.

"There's no rush to the setting of "Grandia", you have more time to think and discuss, I leave you enough time to release it by the end of 1997, okay?" Yang Yun asked.

Ma Liang turned sideways and discussed with the second group for a while, and said confidently: "No problem! ”

"Grandia" may be the last epic RPG masterpiece on the SS platform, Yang Yun doesn't want to launch one casually, he would rather be before the launch of the 128-bit Sega DC console, carefully crafting a "Grandia" that can connect the past and the next, otherwise if the effect of 128-bit DC exceeds the effect of SS too much, players may feel cheated.

The last thing to talk about Square Enix's three games, sitting at the meeting, it was Masashi Miyamoto, everyone is still a colleague......

Looking at Masashi Miyamoto, Yang Yun couldn't help but laugh proudly three times in his heart, he spent six years to change Square Enix from a partnership to a subordinate employee relationship, and Square Enix was still voluntary, from top to bottom to express his gratitude to Longteng's acquisition, almost everyone in the original team stayed, and successively moved to the Shanghai R&D center, which filled him with a supreme sense of achievement.

It's the same as playing a game of great sailing, if a city refuses the protagonist entry, can't trade, can't supply ships, then the protagonist can only raise the barrel and force it in.

The war is cruel and devastating, Konami and Capcom were forcibly suppressed by Longteng and then acquired at a low price, and the negative effect is that there is a large loss of personnel, no longer famous, and no good projects come out, this year Konami Kojima Hideo has not even completed the idea of the next version of "Metal Gear Solid", which makes Yang Yun blame himself for a long time.

These hidden dangers can only be slowly treated by time, and then look at the curve acquisition of Square Enix, Yang Yun is happy again, his approach is correct, the complete integration of the entire Square Enix, only need to determine the equity and dividends, do not have to suppress the other party until confidence collapses, the company is fragmented, and the cohesion is completely unpopular.

Therefore, after Square Enix injected capital into Longteng and SoftBank Group, he quickly exuded vitality, swept away the haze brought by the "Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul" movie, and quickly came up with three classic games, which made Yang Yun smile.

"President Miyamoto ......"

"Mr. Yang, I'm no longer the president, please call me by my name, or call me the team leader, we are the Square Enix project team."

"Hah! Since you say so, then I will call you according to the custom of Longteng Company to call the Japanese. Ma Liang, call and listen! (To be continued......)
