Chapter 156: Experiencing the King of Fighters (Three Watches)
Nintendo is the overlord of the video game industry, only they say that they collect money from others, and they never do anything about posting money to the outside world!
But Sega worked with them, opening up the handheld development kit, opening the TV game console development kit, and then coming up with a free admission policy, which was supported by many small and medium-sized game providers, many of which were originally from the Nintendo camp.
As a result, Nintendo had to swallow its anger, gritted its teeth and signed short-term free admission agreements with game providers, and counted on SFC to turn over and suppress Sega hard, and then slowly revert to the original fee policy.
I didn't expect Sega to get bigger and bigger, if Nintendo didn't do it for free, I'm afraid their quality management system would collapse in an instant, and it would never recover, and Nintendo could only stop mentioning licensing matters in the end, and just spend it for free.
Nintendo opened up a new battlefield, worked hard to upgrade its products, and cooperated with Sony to develop CD TV game consoles.
But Sony controlled the CD-ROM standard, and then proposed to get a 30% royalty on the disc sales of PlayStation consoles, which made Nintendo, which had been aggrieved for half a year, unable to bear it anymore.
A thought suddenly flashed in Yokoi's mind, if Yamauchi abandoned Sony, then they only had one way left, and that was another standard-setter-Philips!
"President, are you going to ...... and Philips......" Gunhei Yokoi was a little incredulous.
Yamauchi's smile was a little hideous: "The standard of CD-ROM is not Sony's monopoly, I can't contact Philips?" ”
Shigeru Miyamoto and Junhei Yokoi have this bitterness in their hearts, at Nintendo. Yamauchi Pu is the emperor, the resolution set. No one can persuade them.
Now that he has decided to engage with Philips, it is a sure thing to abandon Sony.
The two companies are now jointly developing a CD-ROM version of SFC. It's obviously a partner, but Nintendo abandoned Sony to find Philips in a blink of an eye, so what has Nintendo become?
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the deep helplessness in each other's eyes, the taste of being forced to a dead end, it's really bad!
Driven to a dead end, why not the Nintendo family?
In addition to Nintendo, the Japanese game manufacturers who are having a hard time also have the other side of this fighting game Valentine's Day bet, Capcom!
Sega's carnival venue. Interspersed with spies representing various peer companies, Capcom's deputy head of R&D department, Morita Kura, disguised himself as an ordinary Sega game fan and walked around the carnival venue.
There are 20 King of Fighters arcade machines in the game hall, and Morita Kura was lucky enough to grab a game seat, and started playing the game with trembling hands while holding the game currency given by the organizer.
Trembling, not because he was excited, but afraid.
In every respect, this game is several times stronger than Street Fighter 1. Even Street Fighter 2, which they're in closed beta, is a lot better!
The opening character selection, 24 characters, 8 teams, Morita Cang's eyes were dizzy. How many characters does Street Fighter 2 have? The original finalization was to choose 8 people, but Yoshiki Okamoto felt that it was not enough, and added 4 hidden bosses. There were only 12 people in total, just half of the people. Only one-third of the options are available......
Use the joystick to control the cursor to select a team, and then look at the image of the character at the top of the screen. Morita Cang was taken aback: "Women's fighting team! Isn't this person Chun-Li...... The Italian team also has Sangerf...... What's going on? ”
The image of Chun-Li and Sangilf stunned Morita Cang, isn't this a character in Street Fighter 2? Will these two people appear in the King of Fighters?
Leak?
Coincidental?
Or is Fengyun Games deliberate?
In just a few seconds, countless thoughts swirled through Morita Cang's mind!
After counting down the seconds, Morita Cang's cursor finally rested on the Japanese team, and his opponent, a game guide sent by Sega officials, chose the original team of the story, the Chinese team!
"In a team of 3 people, players are free to choose the order of appearance...... "Morita Kura smiled bitterly, this is something that is absolutely impossible to appear in Street Fighter 2, Okamoto Yoshiki insists on using the model of Street Fighter 1, one person, two wins in three games, but compared to the King of Fighters, how monotonous is Street Fighter's model......
Japan's Nikaido Red Pill played against China's Cao Pheasant Jing, and Morita Kura easily controlled the movement of the characters, trying to use the joystick and buttons in Street Fighter to hit a downward slope forward and light punch.
"Thunder Fist!" Nikaido Red Pill slammed out his right arm, with thunder and lightning in his fist, and hit Cao Pheasant Jing squarely, with electricity all over his body, and fell backwards to the ground.
"Nani!"
“Cooooool……”
This move made the fans of the game scream around the onlookers, this move is handsome!
Morita Cang's face turned pale, and he had obviously knocked his enemy to the ground, but he felt as if he had been hit in the heart by this thunderbolt-laden fist.
The handsome movements, the dazzling special effects, the sound effect of the boxing explosion that followed in time, and the performance of Cao Zhijing after being electrocuted, what a realistic picture this is!
"Hey! How did you play this trick? Teach us! A lot of fans of the game shouted.
The warm and difficult Morita Cang had to use it twice again, and it was unanimously praised by everyone.
The game guide standing next to him smiled slightly, slapped the button, and Cao Pheasant Jing began to accumulate gas in the game, and at the same time let out a hard low cry of gritting teeth.
Scold!
The charge bar is full!
Cao Pheasant Jing hit a ghost burn in almost the same way, a flame moved forward on the ground, and quickly came to the front of Nikaido Red Pill, Morita Cang jumped in shock, but he didn't expect this game guide to quickly turn the joystick, and after the dazzling operation, Ding!
The screen flashed, Cao Pheasant's figure paused for 0.1 seconds, and then used his super nirvana - Xuanyuan Red Fire!
"Wow!"
"Oh my God!"
With everyone's exclamations, the Nikaido Red Pill that had not yet landed in the air was hit by the Super Kill, and the whole person turned into a ball of flames and burned!
And during the period of being hit by the special move, the character's movements became slightly slower, so that the players could see clearly, Cao Pheasant Jing held the fire in his hand, charged his whole body, and urged the small flames to form a raging flame, and used the form of a forward rush to quickly shorten the distance between the two, and finally ignited the whole person of the Nikaido Red Pill!
That's right, it's ignited!
Under the Xuanyuan flame of the Yellow Emperor's bloodline, no one can stop it, even if it is blocked, a considerable part of the blood bar will be dropped!
"That's amazing! That's amazing! "Everyone was stunned, this is the super nirvana demonstration in the animated CG, I didn't expect it to be so dazzling, so thrilling!
Everyone's heart jumped involuntarily, and between the lightning and flint, a ghost burned to force the other party to jump, and then the super must follow up, everyone was asking, should they dodge anything?
"That's amazing!" The sweat on Morita Cang's forehead began to drip, such a super nirvana action, there is no Street Fighter 2, to be precise, none of them in this group of designers thought of it, there can be such a way to stimulate the player's heart!
Because it's a new game, everyone doesn't know how to play the game, how to improve, how to create their own combos, everything needs to be explored, so the next is basically the skills that players shiyan choose each, mainly friendly learning and groping, and there are not too many life and death fighting scenes.
Morita Cang followed the study of Qi in a good way, and then turned the rocker indiscriminately, shiyan a few times, before he groped for him to find out the super must-kill thunder light fist of the Nikaido Red Pill.
Where the fist was, the lightning flashed, and it seemed to produce an absolute field of a huge ball area, and the dark blue thunder and lightning ball actually gave players the idea that this was a black hole with one punch!
TimeUp, the winner is Cao Pheasant Kyung, who puts on an arrogant and handsome pose that amazes the player, while Nikaido Red Pill falls to his knees with a look of chagrin.
Every detail is so exquisite, the background, the character model, the action, the sound effects, the fighting moves, Morita Cang was silent, and after playing two games, he gave up his position to other impatient players and quietly quit.
As the deputy head of Capcom's R&D department, what does the appearance of the King of Fighters mean, he knows the general jishu after looking at it for a while.
The biggest problem is on the motherboard!
This kind of effect is definitely not something that can be done by a 16-bit substrate, the effect of King of Fighters is dozens of times more gorgeous than Street Fighter 1, and several times stronger than the Street Fighter 2 they tested internally, you know, when their CPS1 substrate runs Street Fighter 2, many special effects can't be turned on!
Morita Kura smiled wryly, it turned out that Sega had eliminated their KTM motherboards that had been in service for 5 years, and even jumped directly from 16-bit to 32-bit, and even did not use the NEOGEO's dual 16-bit transition approach.
This is the terrible Sega! That's the terrible hardware R&D capability! I'm afraid this motherboard used a lot of their money!
But seeing the performance of the King of Fighters, Morita Cang knew that it was worth spending more money on research and development, and this motherboard was not just running the King of Fighters, with such a powerful processing power, even 3D games could run!
It's ridiculous that Capcom is still holding the CPS1 of two years ago as a baby!
Aside from the hardware, King of Fighters is just an advanced concept that makes Street Fighter ashamed, charging slots, super kills, 3V3 wheel battles, Street Fighter has never thought about it at all.
Not to mention the various characters, fighting skills, not to mention the playability!
Sheng Tiancang smiled bitterly and shook his head, watched for a while, and left without any more complaints.
In his opinion, that's it, Street Fighter 2 is lost......
It's so unwilling to lose like this!
By the way, and Chun-Li and Sangirf! (To be continued......)
