In the "Need for Speed" series, in addition to running wildly on the track, there are scenes and actions of crashing into roadblocks, evading police cars, running red lights, blowing up gas stations, and colliding with competitors in many levels, which is essentially an illegal drag racing.

Although the game company argues that drag racing games are a great way to vent their violent feelings in the virtual world, so that people can avoid similar dangerous actions in the real world due to the stress of life.

But if anyone really believes this kind of words, he is really a fool, so in China, it is absolutely impossible for such a game to be introduced and promoted on a large scale under the army of river crabs, which is one of the important reasons why Yang Yun did not plan to develop it on the SS platform, but handed it over to KTT to make zuò.

Drifting, tail flicking, this is the technology that the drag racing parties compare and show off, and the crazy pursuit of technology, after a large number of smuggled cars into China, the drag racing family has brought great danger to the city.

The roar of the earth-shattering engine in the dead of night, ultra-high-speed drag racing in sparsely populated areas, modifications, thrill-seeking, violent catharsis, car accidents, and dead people do bring a considerable amount of negative impact to people, and it is not unreasonable for the state to prohibit it.

You can't set the background in China...... It's a pity that such a bloody comic......

Yang Yun could only sigh and said helplessly: "The comic is called Need for Speed: Drift!" Focusing on the Japanese, European and American markets, Yiqiē still focuses on commercial elements! Also, don't publish under the name of clamp, you set up an independent manga production company, find a suitable manga artist in Japan, and operate independently. ”

Nanase Okawa agreed. This kind of pure male anime is really not what Clamp is good at. Besides, they're now overwhelmed by "Detective Conan". I simply don't have the energy to take on another project.

Yang Yun rarely pinched Okawa Nanase's hand in turn, stroked it and said: "You can change from the identity of a maker to a manager, I will have more ideas that I need your help to realize in the future, and more classic anime will be handed over to you to produce." ”

This sentence was like pushing aside the dark clouds to see the sunrise, which made Okawa Nanase's depressed mood instantly better, and she finally understood that Yang Yun did put her in his heart, and his status was very important!

The refinement of the script and the rearrangement of the lines. These things are left to Okawa Nanase to find someone to solve.

KTT produces the "Need for Speed" PC game, and Okawa Nanase has set up a comic company to produce the "Initial D" anime, so Yang Yun only has one thing to consider, what about the racing games on the SS platform?

In 1994, it was destined to be the most chaotic year in the gaming industry, with 3DO going bankrupt, Sony was bound to launch the PS platform, and in the racing genre, Namco would launch "Ridge Racing". Become a classic in racing games.

And Sega, after Yu Suzuki launched "VR Warrior", it should be followed by "VR Racing".

But Yang Yun asked, because of his arcade shrinkage policy. The 3D arcade racing game was not launched like the real history, and the staff was more focused on designing the 3D game for the SS platform.

Because of the platform, the SS is more difficult to design than the Model 1. So racing games, Sega has stagnated for the past two years. Nothing has been accomplished.

The "Stereo No. 2", which absorbed some of the core technologies of the Doom engine, can now be called the "Stereo No. 3". While not quite as good as the post-2000 Valve engine, it should be qualified to fight Doom in the mid-90s.

Now, it's Sega's turn!

After having lunch with Nanase Okawa, Yang Yun returned to Sega and called Ma Liang and Hayao Nakayama, there were some things he needed to confirm again.

"President Nakayama, how are Sony and Nintendo doing recently?" Yang Yun calculates the time, it is now September, and it is not far from the birth of PS in December of real history, but he can't guarantee that it must be December.

Hayao Nakayama replied, "Although I don't know much about their internal actions, I can still tell some clues through Guò. Since last year, the number of game companies willing to sign exclusive agreements with us is decreasing, and it is quite possible that these companies are ready to publish their titles on the Sony gaming platform. ”

Yang Yun frowned and said, "What is the proportion?" ”

"At least 20% of companies refuse to sign exclusivity agreements, including large and medium-sized gaming companies." "The situation is not optimistic, it seems that the rumors in the market that Sony is going to enter the video game industry are not groundless, and many people are waiting and seeing. ”

Seeing the two frowning, Ma Liang couldn't help but say: "Although they are reluctant to sign, they are still providing games for the SS platform, so at most they will only let the game appear on multiple platforms!" It shouldn't affect us too much, right? ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "Have you forgotten?" Sony is our hardware supplier, although it only supplies a small part of the parts, and the contract time is still two years, but what will happen in two years, who can say? Game producers don't care which platform they release their games on, they can choose the right thing to do, and choosing Sony is an added path. But the biggest hit is our platform itself. ”

Hayao Nakayama agreed, sighing, "The decline of the platform, just look at the situation of Nintendo......"

Everyone was silent, the former king was under the continuous attack of the dragon, the number of "Warcraft 1" when it was listed was 25%, and now it has passed another year, and it has fallen to a miserable position of less than 20% left, many departments have been cut, hundreds of employees have been laid off, the number of new games is getting smaller and smaller, and only a few diehard allies are holding on.

Yang Yun asked: "At the beginning of this year, I proposed to make at least 300 games a year on the SS platform, and at least 50 high-quality games. ”

Hayao Nakayama has been in charge of this matter, and it is very clear: "There are 210 games that have been put on sale, 40 are under review, and only 34 games can reach the best-selling level, and there are less than 10 games at the platinum level." In addition, in order to stimulate the efficiency of game manufacturers, we have sent out close to $80 million in incentives and subsidies, which are effective, but not obvious. ”

Yang Yun slammed the table hard, it seems that the wait-and-see of this 20% game producer does have a great impact!

Subsidies and incentives, and the signing of exclusivity agreements, all signs indicate that Sega is a great enemy.

Therefore, those game companies that hold best-selling game brands and have core technologies have raised their prices and sold at the price, which is very understandable, although hateful, but Yang Yun has no way to get angry.

"Okay! Keep up the good work, I guess Sony and Nintendo will have big moves soon! Yang Yun looked at Ma Liang and said, "But no matter what kind of big moves they have, we can't stop the work in our hands." The VR Racing project starts today, first making an arcade version, and then waiting for my instructions, I will also launch a racing game on the SS platform. ”

Inexplicably a racing game? Ma Liang really thinks it's strange, but he doesn't have a good time asking about the boss's order, just do it, the VR warriors have done it, who is worried about VR racing?

Let Hayakuo Zhongshan continue to keep an eye on Sony and Nintendo, Yang Yun returned to Shanghai, and asked his backstage Zhu Shuguang again.

"If you have difficulties, find the mayor! You are a servant of the people, ......don't you have to solve problems for us ordinary people," Yang Yun smiled and leaned next to Zhu Shuguang, joking boldly.

Zhu Shuguang laughed, and he was in a happy mood: "Oh, the word public servant has been spoken, can I still refuse?" Say, what can't be solved this time? ”

Yang Yun said with a sad face: "This matter is quite troublesome, and we are going to launch a racing game." There are four options available, with Formula 1 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans on track and the Dakar Rally and World Rally Championship on non-track. I'm struggling right now, which content is better? ”

Zhu Shuguang knows Yang Yun very well, needless to say, Yang Yun is definitely not a headache of which content to choose, but a headache of which content can bring more benefits to China.

But Zhu Shuguang did not propose to build a new one, because according to the requirements of these four international events, Chinese car companies do not even have the opportunity to participate, so what are the interests to talk about?

"F1 and Le Mans are mainly supercars, 300 kilometers per hour is common, and the World Rally Championship requires professional car companies and professional racing drivers, but the Dakar Rally has no restrictions on drivers, and more than 70% of the participants are amateurs every year." Yang Yun explained, and then carefully worded: "The level of the automobile industry in our country is low, so it is best for me to start as an amateur......"

Zhu Shuguang is also more inclined to the Dakar Rally, but there are many problems.

First, there has never been a Chinese participant, and it is uncertain what kind of people can participate, whether there is any danger, whether they can follow up and report the whole process, who will be responsible for this matter, and whether ordinary people are concerned about this matter.

Second, even if he finds the right candidate, what kind of car does he drive to participate?

In 1994, domestic automobile enterprises are basically military to civilian model, Changan Automobile is China's largest military automobile group, is the only car company with a better transformation, as for Jiangnan Automobile, Qinchuan Automobile, Jiangbei Automobile, are because of "the military does not fight with the people", or "monopoly of national orders" and other reasons, have not developed.

Even if Changan Automobile has the support of China Ordnance Equipment Group, or Hafei Automobile has the technical support of aircraft engines from AVIC, China's automobile industry is still weak and cannot compete with foreign car companies, and it is not even qualified to call the board.

In the joint venture, BAIC, FAW and these large enterprises have found foreign partners, BAIC Cherokee and Jeep, FAW-Volkswagen series, but through the phenomenon to see the essence, the domestic technology still does not meet the requirements of the competition! (To be continued......)
