410. They don't think it's true, do they?!

These parameters and settings are almost a false report made by Ken Kutaragi after studying the performance of Sega DC.

It's almost the next generation of consoles that happen to be a little better than DC, but it's not that excessive, and it's within the scope of trustworthiness, but it also takes a certain amount of time to get it.

It is such a PS2 sample, coupled with a bunch of graphic explanations, which has surprised countless audiences, media and friends at the scene.

"Wow, PS2 is actually going to be launched, and the parameters of all aspects of performance are very strong, so it can completely sweep DC out of the game console market."

"It's worthy of Sony.,No wonder the last time at the E3 electronics show.,Kutaragi Ken didn't panic at all.,Even said that PS2 is already under development.,Now it seems that this news should be true.。

After all, all PS have been in service for 4 years, and it's time for a new game console. ”

"I'm relieved to see this, just wait another two years to continue to buy PS2, other game manufacturers should continue to support PS2, right?"

"Really? That's amazing, isn't it? If Sony's PS2 has this kind of performance, then there really isn't anything to do with Sega DC. ”

Everyone focused their eyes on Qing Zhiyuan's face.

I want to see how the young president reacts, after all, Sega, as Sony's biggest opponent at present, has invisibly kicked off the new console war.

As for Qing Zhiyuan, it was mainly because he acquired Sega and thus became the successor of Sega's legacy.

Invisibly, in fact, everyone has subconsciously put Pokeni and Sony in an opposing position.

I don't know the rest, in short, there must be a fierce battle between DC game consoles and PS2, and from the current situation, it is clear that PS2 has the advantage.

Of course, the premise is that Sony can develop the PS2 faster.

……

Sega's vice president, Shoichiro Irito, couldn't help but be furious when he saw what was happening in front of him, and he leaned into Aojiwon's ear and said, "This is obviously Sony's prepared reaction to our DC game consoles."

But no one knows exactly how it performs.

Even if he blows to the sky, it will be two years later.

That's a lot of change. ”

Qing Zhiyuan let out two sneers, very disdainful.

Indeed, as he said,

This is Sony's false propaganda.

Fortunately, I had been prepared for a long time, otherwise I would have been startled when I suddenly saw this hand.

Now it looks like history repeating itself.

But today's Pokeni is not yesterday's Sega.

Qing Zhiyuan is not false at all.

Seeing Qing Zhiyuan's calm appearance, Shoichiro Iriko was not calm at all, "President Qing, aren't you angry?" What do we do in the face of such a thing? ”

Mr. Shoichiro Irito, now 58 years old, is still an impulsive teenager in his bones, and he is quite similar to President Nakayama in terms of his fiery temper and resolute personality.

It's no wonder that President Nakayama chose him to be his successor.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry.

What's the hurry, just wait to read it. ”

Qing Zhiyuan said, "And I've already left my hands behind." ”

"Huh?" Shoichiro was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at Qing Zhiyuan again, he couldn't help but be impressed by the calmness and self-confidence that Qing Zhiyuan showed in his bones.

Since Qing Zhiyuan said so, he has nothing to worry about.

……

In fact, there have been a lot of doubts below, although most of them are from practitioners in the industry, but where is it convincing just by relying on a graph and a bunch of data?

But for uninformed players, that's not what they think.

In their opinion, Sony has enough strength to develop such a powerful game console, and the PS has been in service for 4 years, and it is time for a new replacement to appear.

Sega can develop DC, and Sony must be able to develop a better PS2.

In any case, all the reporters on the scene recorded this landmark scene that happened so far.

Because today's content is already exciting enough.

Just like the recent E3 electronics exhibition, Qing Zhiyuan shouted the sentence of 249 US dollars.

"Wow, I'm a little excited, I didn't expect to be able to see such a historic moment when I came to the Tokyo Game Show for the first time and watched the pre-show press conference.

It's really surprising that Sony actually released PS2-related information here. ”

"I'm looking forward to it, it would be better if the PS2 could come out sooner. It's exciting to think about what kind of more advanced games you can play on the PS2 in the future. ”

The expectations and demands of the players are quite high.

This is also due to everyone's trust in Sony.

The effect of PS1 is obvious to all, it is definitely a generation of magic machines, and the game has been transformed from the 2D era to the 3D era, and PS has contributed a lot.

Without PS, 3D games wouldn't have developed so rapidly.

When it comes to 3D games, it's really changing with each passing day, and the quality changes that are visible to the naked eye every year.

From the first triangle, it slowly changed to a smoother polygon...... 3D games are getting better and better, and they are getting more and more realistic.

……

But are these parameters true? Can PS2 really do it to this extent? ”

Although most ordinary players, especially fans who have already purchased PS, believe in Ken Kutaragi's words.

But there are still some high-end players who have doubts about the game industry.

"Who knows. Two years later, technology is developing so fast, two years ago we didn't know there was such a thing as a GeForce graphics card, and now if you don't have a GPU in your computer, you're embarrassed to play games. ”

"Hahaha, it's still okay to play minesweeper, but you can't bring a large 3D game.

But it seems to make some sense to say this, the current technology is growing explosively, and Sony has gone through so many years to launch PS2, so there will naturally be a qualitative change.

Then with such a design and powerful performance, it is understandable. ”

"No one can know what happens to PS2 now, it's all based on Ken Kuta's mouth, because even if he blows PS2 into the sky, you can't verify whether what he said is true."

Now that Kutaragi got the PS2 prototype on the stage, it is unknown whether it is a real PS2 or not, and it is very likely that it was just assembled through the PS1 and changed a shell and brought it up for demonstration.

And just like the players questioned -

You can't verify it.

Unless you can find a game in the field that can reflect the performance of the PS2 machine.

However, this is simply not something that can exist.

The PS2 won't be released until two years later, and the PS2 prototype has not yet been fully developed, and is now just a beta version of the console.

With all the hardware platforms uncertain, where do you go to find a developer to make a game that can drain the performance of the PS2?

Therefore, although the crowd was excited at the scene, there was no way to verify the words of Ken Kutaraki, which is actually quite doubtful.

It seems that everyone's reaction has been expected for a long time, and Ken Kutaragi just smiled calmly, and then invited to the audience, "Next, I would like to invite President Square Enix, Mr. Masashi Miyamoto, to join me in promoting the arrival of Final Fantasy 8 for PS2 and Final Fantasy 8."

Mr. Masashi Miyamoto, please. ”

Masashi Miyamoto was a little flustered, but under the eyes of everyone and the spotlight of reporters and media, he still tidied up his clothes and walked onto the stage with a calm smile on his face.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you Mr. Ken Kutaragi for the invitation."

After Masashi Miyamoto came to the stage, he quickly sorted out his mood.

Although I am still a little nervous, I have come to this point, and there seems to be no good choice.

"Well, I was probably the first to hear about Sony and the development of the PS2. After all, we've been working with Sony and Ken Kutaragi for so long.

Mr. Ken Kutaragi wanted Square Enix to be the scheming tester they made.

That is, let Square Enix develop a game for PS2.

After hearing Mr. Kutaragi's statement, I readily agreed.

Because if the PS2 is so powerful, we have no reason to say no. ”

"However, time is actually quite short, and as we all know, the development cycle of a 3D game is calculated in years.

Although our Final Fantasy 8 is also in development, it may take some hard work to make a big breakthrough on PS2.

In this case, we made a trial game, not sure when it would be released.

Let's take a look at the effect. ”

After saying that, Masashi Miyamoto took a step back, and at the same time a promotional animation appeared on the big screen in the rear:

A sky painted with brilliant colors by the setting sun, and the clouds reveal a beautiful and dazzling brilliance.

The light shone in from afar, and the two figures in the distance became colorful.

The hero and heroine have very touching and meticulous details, and they gaze at each other.

On the girl's body, the texture and color of the skirt are rendered quite soft and beautiful, and are haloed by the light of the setting sun, half of which is a shadow and the other half has a strange luster.

The character model is very detailed, the hair is soft and beautiful, there are no thick lines at all, and the fingers are similar to normal human five fingers, not the cylindrical shape you see before......

The girl's shoulders give people a soft touch, and people can't help but want to come up and hug her just by looking at it.

Whether it's the whole composition, the storyboard, the lighting plus the characters' expressions, it's completely rendered, and you can't find fault with it at all.

Even if there are no lines or storylines, it can still move people's hearts.

Just seeing this CG picture, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble.

"It's beautiful."

"Wow!" A long series of exclamations erupted from the audience, and everyone looked up at the Final Fantasy 8 game footage displayed on the big screen.

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful."

"It's amazing that the PS2 can do this level."

"It's Final Fantasy, it's so much in line with my fantasies about games, characters, and the world. Square Enix is a company that really has something on it. ”

"It's Sony, it's Square Enix, except for Pokeni, probably only Square Enix has the ability to make such a beautiful and touching game picture, right?

And just by looking at it, you can't forget it.

The whole person was as if he had been sucked into it by a whirlpool.

Seriously, if that's the case in the actual game, I'd definitely want to get one. ”

"It's so beautiful, I can't find any other word to describe it than beauty.

Final Fantasy 8 is really the right choice for PS2 development, Mr. Kutaragi Ken is very discerning, and he was able to invite Square Enix to develop such a powerful game for PS2.

It is estimated that as soon as Final Fantasy 8 comes out, there will be no one in this world who can fight. ”

"Pokeni probably regrets it, right? Now after seeing such expressiveness, I don't know what Qing Zhiyuan thinks, the acquisition of Sega cost so much money, and I originally thought that I could reap a wave by relying on DC game consoles.

I didn't expect that Sony had already put PS2 on the development agenda.

If I were Qing Zhiyuan, I feel that it would be better to stay on the PS2 platform directly. ”

"Ah...... THE MOST CONFUSING THING NOW IS WHETHER POKENI WILL DEVELOP GAMES ON THE PS2 PLATFORM IN THE FUTURE. ”

"No matter how you look at it, I think it's a pity that the PS2 lacks POKENI's game."

……

Kutaragi saw the reaction of everyone in the audience, and his heart was nervous and excited.

looked at Masashi Miyamoto, who was still in the center of the stage, and probably had a similar nervous expression.

Masashi Miyamoto was even more flustered than Ken Kuta, because he knew very well that this effect was impossible to achieve, and the part shown today was at most a preconceived idea for the players.

As Ken Kutaragi said, it was used to buy time for Sony and Square Enix.

Let's see if DC will be defeated in the coming year.

As long as DC can be eaten, then it only takes a promotional video to do this, and the cost performance is actually sky-high.

However, behind this publicity, it is completely backed by the credibility and player base of Sony and Square Enix.

If you don't get it right, it's easy to get backlash.

But now Masashi Miyamoto has been tied to a thief ship by Ken Kutaragi, and it is almost impossible to turn back.

You can only go one way to the dark.

Let's take a look first, and then see how to go according to the future development of the situation.

"Since the game has not yet been developed, this is a demonstration of our effects, CG recorded in the game. It does not represent the final result. ”

Masashi Miyamoto's words are quite artistic.

It does not represent the final result.

But he didn't say whether the end result would be better or worse than that.

When the time comes, he can be questioned about false publicity, saying that his game CG is like this, and it doesn't mean that it can be achieved in the final implementation of the game.

It's normal for the propaganda to be different from the actual situation, and you can't ask for consistency.

Almost.

And just like Ken Kutaragi brainwashed him before, even if this paragraph is inserted into the game as CG at that time, it will not be considered false publicity.

……

Sony's PS2 and Square Enix's Final Fantasy 8 were unveiled together, and the whole scene was boiling.

After they finished their speeches, the applause at the scene was like thunder, and it lasted for a long time.

The audience stood up and applauded.

A round of applause for the super performance of Sony's PS2, but also for the ability to witness the advanced aesthetic of Final Fantasy 8.

The applause says it all.

Everyone is very happy with this publicity.

And everyone is quite willing to believe what is seen today.

Once the future becomes a reality, then those of them who have experienced the scene will become witnesses of history.

Come to think of it, the first release of PS2, coupled with the first presentation of such a beautiful Final Fantasy 8, although it is not a game entity, has already made players remember it for a lifetime.

Such a historic moment will inevitably be recorded in the history of the game and become a new and brilliant chapter.

How face-saving it would be to show off this history to your children many years later?

……

A piece of promotional content directly set off the atmosphere of the entire Tokyo Game Show press conference to the sky, like a bombshell exploding in the crowd.

The flashing lights on the scene were constantly flashing, and the sound of clicking was endless.

Countless media reporters were full of smiles on their faces and sighed,

"It's really the right time to see such a wonderful scene today."

"The graphics of Final Fantasy 8 are too beautiful, right? This is definitely my dream game, and if I can play such a game, I guess even dreaming is full of magic. ”

"Amazing, Sony and Square Enix are really fantastic."

"Sony's response was really fierce and fast. Straight up to the top hook. I guess I knocked out all of Pokeni's teeth. ”

"It's amazing.,I'm afraid in the E3 electronics show,Sony was already ready.,At that time, PS2 was probably already under development.,Didn't take it out at the first time.,It turned out to be waiting here.。

"Wonderful, it's so exciting, next year's console war, shouldn't it be said that the host war of the year after tomorrow is really hard to predict."

"Where else are there host wars? Now that the PS2 publicity comes out, you think about it, there is only a little more than a year before the PS2 can be released, why would players spend that unjust amount of money to buy a DC console?

I don't know if DC will be able to carry it next year.

IT IS SAID THAT BOTH POKENI AND SEGA ARE IN A TIGHT FINANCIAL SITUATION RIGHT NOW. ”

"Wow, that's too awesome, isn't it? It is equivalent to Sony directly using a sentence to directly stifle the future of DC through the vision of the future? ”

If this is placed in Chinese martial arts, it is equivalent to using invisible energy, flying swords outside the sky, and taking away the head of Xiang Shang.

You don't know who your opponent is or how he makes a move, but this invisible energy takes you down.

……

Wonderful, so wonderful.

Being able to shoot such a moment on the spot, this year's game circle is really lively.

Moreover, according to their judgment, it is very likely that such a war scene will only appear in the middle of this year, and it is not clear that Sega and POKENI will really give up the console market in another year or two.

When you think about it, what is happening now is even more precious.

It is certainly not enough to shoot Sony's footage alone, so countless media on the scene focused their lights on Qing Zhiyuan, who was watching the play offstage.

I wanted to capture some wonderful expressions on his face so that I could go back and make a big report.

Because both sides of the battle need to have a clear display, then such a duel is exciting enough that players will feel attracted when they see the report.

But what?

Unexpectedly-

On Qing Zhiyuan's face, the reporters could not capture the slightest trace of stunned, surprised, nervous or angry.

Qing Zhiyuan applauded Sony and Square Enix in the audience, with a smile on his face and eyes.

Looks like he's nobody.

So the reporter friends couldn't help but be stunned.

However, everyone hesitated for a moment, and still recorded the expression on Qing Zhiyuan's face at this moment.

Either way, the media can write it:

Big deal [Qing Zhiyuan will meet Sony's challenge, and the scene will be angry]

Changed to:

[Qing Zhiyuan was angry and laughed angrily]

It's also very topical.

……

When Shoichiro Iritoku saw the promotional CG of "Final Fantasy 8" displayed on the big screen, he was dumbfounded.

"This is clearly false propaganda!"

Shoichiro Iriko clenched his fists and turned to look at President Seichiwon.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to brag about how a game is with just one game CG?"

"Sony is so shameless, right? Square Enix too, why cooperate with them to do such a thing? ”

Shoichiro Iriko said angrily, "Players don't really believe that this game effect can really run on PS2, right?" ”

Qing Zhiyuan tugged his hand to show calmness.

"You can't debunk them right now."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "It's like you can never fight against a cloud of air and win. ”

"What do you do to defeat non-existent things?"

"What then?" Shoichiro Iriko said he was too angry.

"It's okay,"

Qing Zhiyuan gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Mr. Irijiao, you go find some desserts to eat first." ”

President...... At such a time, where is the mood ......?"

Shoichiro Iriko had a sad face, and he was so worried that he could wring out the bitter water.

In this case, Qing Zhiyuan still has the heart to ask people to eat desserts?

It's like it has nothing to do with you.

You don't look at it, the media reporters around you, and the competitors, are all waiting to see our jokes.

"Go ahead,"

Qing Zhiyuan still maintained a calm and elegant smile, patted him on the back, "I'll take care of the rest."

"Huh?"

Shoichiro's heart jumped.

President, what does this mean?

……
