With 2 Apocalypse tanks, 20 T-72 tanks, 5 howitzer trucks, 10 T-26s, 4 Bray jeeps, and more than 30 mixed infantry, Yang Yun controlled a large force to launch a general attack on the enemy's base camp.

In the simple game mode, the alien base buildings are scattered, and the resistance is only a small number of sandworms, steel worms, and venom-spitting jets.

Under the suppression of howitzer fire, the mixed force of medium and light tanks and infantry began to advance slowly, while the Apocalypse Tank was more of a show of its invincible defense and destructive ability, Yang Yun deliberately made it the protagonist of the battlefield, acting as the spear of the attack, all the way to the firepower, crushing into the enemy's main base.

With the enduring applause, the game ended, and the players were still unsatisfied, and they gathered around to watch it carefully, and called for more SS consoles to be opened to try the game.

In Yang Yun's view, this game is at most a so-so real-time strategy game, dressed in the cloak of science fiction, but it is essentially an earth war game.

It's just that there are not many games that players can choose from now, although this game seems to be somewhat similar to "Dune 2", but after thinking about it, you will still find that it is different, to put it in layman's terms, everyone is nine years of compulsory education, "Saloman Snake: Dune 1993" is a junior high school student level, and "Dune 2" is at most a primary school student level.

So in contrast, the game's playability and creativity were judged, and players gave Sega a round of applause.

Plus the platforms on which one is 32-bit and the other is 16-bit, processing power, game speed. There are also graphics and so on, the two can't be compared at all.

Yang Yun has played SFC's "Dune 2", not to mention anything else. Just look at the game model.

The tank on the SS is a three-dimensional shape with an ambient shadow on. Walking in the sand, the tracks will also leave long traces, the exhaust pipe of the Apocalypse tank can still see thick black smoke, and the smoothbore action can be seen when the tank fires, and if you look closely, you can even see the details of the Apocalypse crushing the enemy bunker.

On the SFC, all the units float on the water, and the models are the same, except for the appearance. There is no spirit at all inside, how to look at it, how to look like a fake and shoddy three-no model, it is a sticker to say that it is ugly.

After watching the demo game, people quieted down, because the game is just a demo, and the questions on jishu are still handed over to professional commentators for in-depth evaluation, and they don't have to worry about specific data.

Here comes the key question related to the vital interests of gamers, this is the world's first 32-bit home game console. How much does it cost? And what games are Sega ready to launch?

People are very concerned about this issue and it has to be attractive enough for SS to be a hit.

"It costs 54,000 yen in Japan and $398 in North America. The first random games to be released were Saloman: Dune 1993, Heartbeat Memories, and Dinosaur Kombat. "Caijing 1945", in which consumers who have already purchased the MD version of the "Heartbeat Memories" cassette. With the original cartridge, you can redeem the game disc for free at every Sega store.

in the following year. We will release "Journey to the West", "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger", "The King of Fighters 93", "Dragon Quest" series, "Final Fantasy" series, "Legend of Heroes" series, "Three Kingdoms" series, and many more new SS platform games for SS platform! ”

Yang Yun's words made everyone shout excitedly!

The $398 game console, although it is nearly twice as expensive as the MD, is after all the world's first 32-bit home game console, and no one will think it is expensive at all, because everyone knows that the price of a new product on the market, in order to recover the cost of research and development and advertising, will be very high.

But after seeing its effects, no one has said that it is expensive, it is all value for money, even great value!

In addition to several games on the SS platform, the popular arcade games Dinosaur Kombat and Saikyo 1945 have been ported and will surely be supported by millions of arcade enthusiasts, especially North American customers!

"Saloman: Dune 1993" is a real-time strategy game that has obviously developed a new type of game, which will set off a craze for playing real-time strategy games across shijie, and the CD medium can make the game capacity several times more than the cassette game, making the game richer, as exemplified by the beautiful CG animation just now.

A war game can be so perfect, but what about "Heartbeat Memories" in the love development category? Will there be more CG dating beautiful girls? Like watching a romantic movie?

Since even war games are full of CG animations, what about Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy? Square Enix, who is so good at CG, will he give up the opportunity to increase CG animation in the game?

As you can imagine, people will experience unparalleled visual enjoyment, playing games like watching a movie, and 32-bit SS can easily change the gaming habits of players, which is the trend led by Sega games!

……

……

Yamauchi waited for the news from the Sega Carnival, but the content made him dumbfounded.

The world's first 32-bit mainframe was launched?

How does this keep Nintendo's SFC alive?

There are so many best-selling arcade games, and they have all made SS ported versions, and the advertising slogan is not lost to the arcade effect!

Of course not to lose! It's all 32-bit processors, and even on the graphics card, SS is only better than Model 1, and there are no shortcomings!

Also, what makes Yamauchi feel the most dark is this damn pricing!

At $400, that's double the $200 price of their SFC and SNES consoles!

Sega claims to have spent 50 million US dollars in research and development funds, and uses the most advanced processors in Shijie, and purchases the most haode parts.

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, Yamauchi Pu can roughly estimate the hardware cost just by the published parameters, even if it is a 32-bit CPU, a 32-bit GPU, and all kinds of miscellaneous things, which add up to definitely no more than $180.

Excluding the exaggerated R&D costs of 50 million US dollars, and excluding the profits of channel providers, Sega can earn more than 100 US dollars for an SS!

Well, the first 32-bit host in Shijie, they took the lead, only this one, there are no other branches, and how to price it is what Sega says.

However, the game medium used by SS is directly affected by their game cartridges!

A Heartbeat Memories game cartridge costs $19.8, and Sega makes a profit of $5.

Now converted to a CD, it costs $9.8, which is Sega's profit...... Or $5!

Pu Yamauchi felt that he was Don Quixote, the tragic cassette game adherent, he became the producer of the whole Shijiezuihou family insisted on game cassette, and everyone but him rebelled!

CDs have changed the medium of game transmission, technology has changed the habits of human life, and anyone who can't keep up with the trend of the times will be crushed by the wheel of history and hit to pieces.

Yang Yun conformed to the trend, it should be said that he took the initiative to lead the trend, so he can earn more than $100 with a host, and he is the only market monopolist, if he is a little darker, he can earn $200 or $300 with a host.

In fact, he knows very well the disadvantages of CD game discs, the emergence of pirated discs, will make game production a difficult thing to make money, the old kind of cassette earns 5 dollars, a game sells 5 million boxes of the good days may be gone.

However, CD can greatly reduce the production cost, the cassette costs $4 a box, the CD costs $0.4 a piece, in terms of weight, transportation, storage and maintenance, it is not a little more convenient than the cassette.

The era of huge profits of game cards and game discs is over, before the popularization of the Internet, serial numbers, verification codes, and all kinds of anti-piracy methods are in vain, and only by struggling to the Internet period, genuine game software will gain a trace of vitality.

Since Nintendo is still stubbornly believing that cartridge anti-piracy is more effective than CD anti-piracy, then Yang Yun will let Deyamauchi Pu go like this, and hand over the responsibility of maintaining Shijie peace to Nintendo.

And he went to grab the market, earn money for hardware, and by the way, reduce the cost of the game to a point where Pu Yamauchi vomited blood, and continued to rob Nintendo's market, so that all Sega's opponents fell into a painful situation.

This is Yang Yun's Jihua, and this is an important reason why Weishenme Sega must be determined to be the leader of Jishu.

As a competitor, Yamauchi Pu figured it out and finally figured out what Yang Yun was doing.

As for the differences and similarities between "Saloman: Dune 1993" and "Dune 2", it doesn't matter anymore......

On January 1, 1993, the Sega Carnival announced the launch of the world's first 32-bit TV game console, even if it was silent before, there was no wind at all, Sega did not even do pre-sales and publicity, without the knowledge of a considerable number of players, SS still sold 200,000 units in stock in three days, and owed 350,000 pre-order machines, there was a rush to buy a machine, which shocked the whole shijie!

China's Longteng factory is working day and night, but it still can't stop the influx of orders, and the arrival time of the pre-order machine even lasts until February, and the machine can only be obtained after a month after payment!

Sega's strong approach has made hardware manufacturers in the gaming industry mourn, and there are almost no unaffected.

Industry insiders seem to have seen the big scene and big pattern of industry cleaning!

The video game production industry is about to be reshuffled! (To be continued......)
