"Oooh! I see, I finally figured it out. ”

Little HR Akane Ayase sighed as she held the new magazine of Guoletong, and then raised her head to look at the president as if she had suddenly realized.

"I thought it was just a simple story of hatred and war between humans and bloods, but there is such an esoteric interpretation in it?"

Qing Zhiyuan rolled her eyes.

"Are you on your first day at Pokeni?"

"President! Although I didn't work at Pokeni on my first day, I wasn't a member of the "The Witcher" project team, so how did I know that Wada-san thought so much about writing the script? ”

"Uh-huh...... Looking at it this way, it's actually quite a deep story. But Wada-san should have self-examined, he couldn't express it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and there were doubts that made players feel stiff and stiff in the middle, shouldn't he beat Wada-san first? ”

Gee.

Qing Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, and Xiao HR's mouth kung fu is getting more and more powerful.

Although there is a lot of content about exploitation and oppression written in this player column of Golleton, it also resonates with many people.

But the result is only more resonance and thinking.

Even if you can empathize, but a game is a game, and no one starts to engage in any anti-exploitation movement just because they play "The Witcher".

These contents are actually okay, they are not so restricted, for neon media, almost anything can be reported, and expressing their own opinions and tendencies is the first place.

For example, in the future episode of "Detective Conan", there is an episode that complains through the mouth of Gray Plains: "The son of a parliamentarian is still a councilman, the son of a banker is still a banker, and Neon is such a country."

It's really an ugly hereditary system, and along with such an ugly hereditary system, the history of mankind is constantly repeated. ”

Class solidification is an old problem of neon, and cartoons can also be criticized bluntly.

And it's much more straightforward than "The Witcher" wants to express.

I have to say that Aoyama is really a manga artist with a little pink thought, and in his works, [president] is a high-risk profession.

As soon as he thought of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but shudder.

This Nima ...... Fortunately, there is no Conan yet, otherwise I wonder if the members of the club would have learned some terrible methods to deal with the president from it.

……

In short, there is no shortage of works in neon that profoundly expose the dark side of society.

But after reading it, no one will want to oppose this system, make any changes, and have no ability to change it.

To some extent, this also reflects some of the characteristics of the neon nation.

The greatest trait is obedience.

If you use the Demon Hunters as an example, they belong to those blood donors who have become accustomed to being oppressed by the Bloodline and live in the Bloodline's territory.

However, the fact that the work dares to express and express these contents in its own way is in itself worthy of recognition.

……

"Huh? Is that so? ”

At the same time, several of Farmiton's editors reacted in a similar way.

Editorial chief Hamada was actually extremely shocked in his heart, but he was embarrassed to express it. 0

In fact, after reading the player analysis of Guoletong, we realized that the game has a deeper expression......

How could such a thing be said?

And can't admit it either?

"Well~ Actually, I've seen it a long time ago, so it seems that the depth of the plot of "The Witcher" is okay." Editor Sano said shamelessly.

The others couldn't help but turn their faces and look at him with disdain.

So Sano quickly lowered his head.

"Hmm...... On the surface, the war between the Bloods and the Humans has ups and downs, peaks and turns, and in the deep layer, Pokeni has ruthlessly criticized the exploiters, leaving the choice of destruction or forgiveness, or joining to the player.

The Witcher is an interesting game. ”

"The game is also a tool for expressing ideas.,It's just that I think the depth is enough.,The script processing of the void abyss is still a little flawed.,It's not good to give a high score, right?"

“……”

Several editors were discussing it earnestly.

In fact, if we hadn't seen the content of today's issue of the magazine, this discussion might not have existed.

Hamada crossed his hands next to him and smiled without saying a word, saying, That's your business.

I want your judgment, that's all.

"However, I hope you are not affected, otherwise you will not be able to make a fair judgment."

"Yes, editor." Several people responded in unison.

"Alright, let's get busy." Hamada waved his hand and returned to his workstation.

……

Two weeks later, in the latest issue of Famitsu, Pokeni's new work "The Witcher" was given a high score of 36.

The Witcher also became Pokeni's fourth game to be selected for the Platinum Temple.

The first three are Onmyoji 1+2 and Diablo.

Yes, although the visual genre galgame developed by Pokeni has a super high reputation in the industry, especially "The Man of Reverse Degree" was once called a masterpiece, but Famitong just didn't let them be selected for the Platinum Palace, for only one reason -

The gameplay is not enough.

As for Pokémon, they are very topical, hot enough, and their sales are even more terrifying, but they are still ruthlessly deducted points by the editors of Famitong in terms of gameplay and creativity.

These guys are so [hard]!

However, this kind of scoring of Famitong has made players criticize and question-

We all think it's good, you don't think the gameplay is enough and you deduct points, but the other parts are useless to push through the ceiling, is this how Famitong scores?

This time "The Witcher" came out, and the editors of Famitsu finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least this game can be said to be quite remarkable in terms of gameplay, the kind of genre that can leave a strong mark on the history of the game.

The reviews of the 4 editors were surprisingly unanimous.

"The Witcher" has been highly rated for its gameplay and expressiveness, and there is no problem with a perfect score, and there is no action game that can compete with it in this era.

"If Diablo ushered in a new era of gaming, creating a new genre of top-down plane real-time action.

Then "The Witcher" has once again raised this genre to a height that no one can match. ”

"I have to say, this is a little flawed masterpiece.

Its combat mechanics and expressiveness are so good that it has to be scored highly.

To this day, I still love the game. ”

There are flaws in the scripting, but fortunately, the content is deep, and the endings are quite exciting, and they can make people think......

So in the end, the editors all gave a high score of 9.

……

With The Witcher being selected for the Magic Bowl Platinum Palace, the game's future is largely clear.

Subsequent sales continue to rise, even if it's just for [a world-class action RPG that no one else can match], you have to play this game.

The influence of Golleton is also very great now, and with the dual blessing of it and Famitong, players are full of confidence in "The Witcher" again.

By the end of July, The Witcher had sold a staggering 400,000 units.

Hiroyuki Hattori's mood during this time was also like riding a roller coaster.

At first, the sales of The Witcher did not move, but then it moved like a turtle, and then suddenly jumped forward.

Then it didn't move again......

Then the sales suddenly skyrocketed, and the whole process was twists and turns, and Hattori Yuyuki didn't dare to look at the growth line of sales, and just thinking about it with his brain made him feel unusually stimulating.

Others either die violently and lie flat in a straight line.

Either or just take a parabola.

Pokeni's game is good, jumping up and down, making people's hearts go up and down, like riding a roller coaster.

If you don't have a heart disease, you're about to be scared out of a heart attack.

"Damn, Qing Zhiyuan does this every time, whose heart can stand it?" Hattori lit himself a cigarette and suppressed the shock.

Miss Fujiki, the secretary who was guarding the side, pursed her lips and laughed.

"I think you, the president, are the real big heart and big courage. The fact that you have been able to support Pokeni unswervingly shows that you have confidence in them, President. ”

"I ......"

It's hard to say whether there is confidence or not.

So far, Hiroyuki Hattori feels that the way to pray for blessings by throwing garbage cans is the biggest truth in the world.

But then again.

Pokeni is really a strange company.

To be able to turn the gaming world upside down, to be able to trigger two extremes of evaluation from players after the game comes out, and finally to be selected for the Platinum Palace, is an incredible thing in itself.

However, if you think about it carefully, the vast majority of Pokeni's games so far seem to have this kind of magic.

What the hell.

At this moment, President Hattori's fingers holding the cigarette suddenly trembled.

The soot fell to the trousers.

"Ah~tooth white~"

……

"Huh~Pokeni, this new producer called Shinji Mikami is okay......" Capcom's president, Kenzo Tsujimoto, said that he would re-evaluate Pokeni.

Originally, I thought that after there was no Furuhara Tsubaki, Pokeni should only be left as the president and producer of Qing Zhiyuan, and the production level of Qing Zhiyuan was really up and down, making it difficult for people to have a sense of trust.

When the level is high, you can do continuous production of million-level works like "Diablo" and "Pokémon".

When the level was low, "Famous Academy" was so bleak that it couldn't be seen.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Pokeni's games were so popular, Kenzo Tsujimoto wouldn't have paid special attention to their history and noticed the famous Gakuin game.

The playability of the game itself is actually good.,It's a pity that I didn't find the right era.。

Maybe if you send it again in a few years, it'll be a different story.

In short, under such circumstances, Kenzo Tsujimoto could hardly believe that Pokeni could still make a high-level game like "The Witcher".

But in fact, when he experienced it himself, he had to say that he was really impressed by it.

I was impressed by the newcomer Shinji Mikami.

Just as he was flipping through the "The Witcher" cassette with him, the company's HR Yohei Inoue knocked on the door and walked in.

He put a document on the president's desk, "President, this is the number of positions and numbers that each department is expected to recruit this year, please take a look." ”

"Okay." Kenzo Tsuji nodded, "Let's put it first, I'll tell you after I'm done." ”

During this time, Kenzo Tsujimoto can be said to be busy to death.

1993 was definitely an extraordinary year for Capcom.

First of all, in March, Yoko Shimomura, a very talented music creator in the company, was pokenied by Pokeni.

But Kenzo Tsujimoto didn't pay much attention to this matter, and it was a sure thing to go to the village, and if he didn't go to Pokeni, he would go to Square Enix, but what made Kenzo Tsujimoto puzzled was-

In the end, this guy actually chose the more famous and smaller pokeni.

It can only be said that Shimomura is really a very thoughtful and ambitious woman.

Since I can't keep it, there's nothing to regret.

Capcom will then be listed on the Osaka Stock Exchange in August.

Going public is the most important event for any company, which is equivalent to the first marriage in life.

Whether you marry well or not, and what the future holds, it all depends on this time.

In order to be able to go public, Capcom has been preparing for more than a year.

Last year's SFC version of Street Fighter II was ported to a very high level, even though it only used one-third of the capacity of the arcade version.

The work has sold an astonishing 2.88 million copies in Neon China, and the total global sales have exceeded 6.3 million copies.

This is not only Capcom's best home console software to date, but also an insurmountable milestone for fighting games.

In 1992 alone, during the Christmas War, 2 million units were successfully shipped.

Capcom itself also experienced an unprecedented harvest joy, and in the second half of '92, in just four months, it issued three consecutive reports on the upward revision of its results, and the net profit for the year exceeded a record 15 billion yen.

It is under such circumstances that Capcom this year successfully ushered in the opportunity to go public.

And now, there are less than two weeks left until the listing.

There is another thing, so that Kenzo Tsujimoto has not been sleeping well recently, after Capcom's Street Fighter 2 became popular, many competitive imitators have emerged in the market.

Some of these games have reached outrageous levels of plagiarism, all of which has had a serious impact on Capcom's further development of the fighting game market.

THAT'S WHY CAPCOM FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST DATAEAST LAST MONTH, DEMANDING A WORLDWIDE BAN ON THE SALE OF THE COMPANY'S FIGHTING GAME "GLADIATOR'S HISTORY" ON THE GROUNDS THAT THE GAME WAS AN EXACT IMITATION OF THE COMPANY'S STREET FIGHTER II.

And the other party did not show weakness, and in turn accused Capcom's "Street Fighter" series of completely plagiarizing their work "Fighting Karate"

This lawsuit looks like it's going to be fought for a long time, and just thinking about it makes Kenzo Tsujimoto feel quite a headache.

But if you don't press them, Street Fighter will be finished, and in the future, when others plagiarize and the market space is squeezed, Capcom will not be able to gain a foothold at all.

Seeing the president's tired face, Inoue was about to retreat, but he noticed the "Witcher" cassette in the president's hand at a glance.

"Shinji Mikami? I seem to have some impression of the name. ”

"Huh?"

"That...... It may be a little inappropriate to say it now,"

Inoue was embarrassed, and he was deeply sorry for his reckless speech just now, but under the president's gaze, he still stubbornly said, "A few years ago, when I was just an ordinary HR in the company, I interviewed Mikami. ”

"Huh?!" Kenzo Tsujimoto's whole body was shocked.

Inoue Yohei frowned helplessly.

But this guy was a mess in the written test at the beginning, who would have thought that he would later be able to make such a good work as "The Witcher"?
