440. Positive spiral

With the end of the Pokeni press conference, the whole pre-show press conference came to an end.

……

But players still seem to have a feeling of unfinished business, as if the pre-show press conference is not over yet.

Many people wish that these big manufacturers could promote more new games, games that will shock the world, and games that can impact the eyes and brains of players.

However, there seem to be only a handful of such games.

"This E3 Electronics Show is a rehearsal for the console war, and there are so many interesting high-quality games appearing, it seems that the right time has come."

"Wow, that's really the case, Sony's home stadium on the first day was basically all PS-related games, and there was also a PS2 trial machine, which was eye-catching.

The next day, Ren Heaven directly came to the development plan of the dolphin game console, although I don't know what the future of this game console will look like, but the conceptual design should be more inclined to the lightweight of physical products, and the kind with more efficient functions.

The performance should be more advanced, right?,I don't know what kind of game products will appear on the dolphin game console.。

However, in the end, it was pokeni's DC game console that made me feel that this E3 electronics show was really worth it, and I could see so many game masterpieces in the scene.

Whether it's Monster Hunter or a dragon hunting trip, the Eternal Trace Ash 2 that appears later is very exciting.

The picture feels so amazing, there is a feeling of watching God create the world. ”

"yes, yes, but don't forget, there are Silent Hill and Tomb Raider on the DC game console, and Konami's Silent Hill is also quite magical, completely exceeding my expectations.

I didn't expect a horror game to be so real and scary. ”

"Didn't the producer of Silent Hill say it, this should be due to the relatively powerful 3D performance of the DC game console, which can support exquisite light and shadow effects in terms of picture performance, and there is only a faint light in the dark world, and the world is quite realistic, just seeing the game screen makes people shudder.

Silent Hill's game is really expressive.

At the same time, it also reflects from the side how powerful the software technology level of DC game consoles and pokeni is. ”

"yes, when I saw Silent Hill live, especially when those horrible sound effects appeared, and the nasty black shadows in front of me appeared, I felt like my heart was going to stop."

"Tomb Raider is also very powerful, and Tobi Gard is too funny, always keeping up with the trend of the times, and making Tomb Raider the most advanced game platform.

From the original PC, to the later use of NVIDIA's graphics card, and then to this time it was released directly on the PC and Sega DC, it can be seen that they really want to make the effect of this game.

But from my own view, the game is really a visible improvement. ”

"Yes, this time the Tomb Raider came out, it was completely like a qualitative leap, and it suddenly became exquisite and real, and my first reaction was-

It doesn't seem that the gap between Tomb Raider and the 3D action games produced by P Company is not that big.

The expressiveness can almost catch up with the level of P Society Witcher 2. ”

"In this era, you must keep catching up with the frontrunners, expressiveness is still the first driving force of players, if you fail to keep up with the times, it is easy to be abandoned.

Once it falls behind, the company may face a bankruptcy crisis.

The fact that Tomb Raider's company was able to switch platforms and use state-of-the-art technology to make games was a wise decision in itself. ”

"It doesn't really matter what platform they're developing games on, it's just that the games are getting better and better. I'd love to see all these game dealers roll up.

In that case, the games you can experience in the future will be of higher quality, right? ”

"Hahaha, it looks like DC is the high-quality quality right now. Although there are many game manufacturers this time, but aside from the non-existent concept machine of Renten, it is actually a dispute between Sony and Pokeni.

On the one hand, it's all games on PS, and on the other hand, it's almost all DC.

Although many of them are developed separately on the PC platform, they always seem a little unpopular compared to those big games. ”

"yes.,That's true.,It seems like there's a lot of games after the introduction.,But if you think about it carefully.,It's not PS or DC.,It's these two that are doing PK at all.。

In terms of performance, the current DC game effect properly crushes PS. ”

"Yes, a comparison of the expressiveness of the game will reveal that the Silent Hill on the DC game console, the Tomb Raider, the Monster Hunter and Dragon Hunt Journey of Pokeni, Shenmu...... A whole bunch of games are super high.

PS is obviously a lot bleaker.,Although there are games like Final Fantasy 8 that support the field.,It always makes people feel like this one can play.,The other expressions are more average.。 ”

"But seriously, if there is no pokeni at the E3 electronics show this time, it is estimated that it will be a lot less colorful."

"yes, I feel that many of the games on PS are sequels, and there are not too many innovations and bright colors, to be honest, I was a little disappointed when I listened to Sony's press conference on the first day.

However, the quality of Pokeni's game is as stable as ever. ”

"Monster Hunter is really powerful, the creative world, the huge ecosystem, have you seen the skin and texture of the monsters, it's done quite close to reality.

It has that rough skin and thick flesh feeling, and it is not stiff at all.

When the female fire dragon appeared, that scene was so handsome that I still remember it vividly. ”

"The journey to the dragon is also great, the experience effect of the animated movie, the expressiveness of the actual machine really scared me, I thought it was an animation made by Hayao Miyazaki, but I didn't expect it to be developed by POKENI himself.

It doesn't seem like Hayao Miyazaki is involved. ”

"The style of painting of the dragon hunt is what I love, it's so distinctive, it's worthy of pokeni, this company has always had a set of Japanese-style games since its inception."

"I personally like and look forward to "Forever Ashes 2", in fact, the randomness of this game is quite strong, and it allows you to experience the DND feeling of throwing dice, and the various matching strategies are ever-changing, which is very suitable for players like me who are handicapped but like to use their brains.

I'm glad that P didn't blindly go further and further in action games, but tried and dabbled in various types of games, which is really friendly to players like us. ”

"Me too, I like high-quality and high-quality games, but I can't react, and many of Pokeni's games are actually quite suitable for players like us, such as the galgame series, the Forever Ashes series, and the insect master.

This time the E3 electronics show is good, the only thing I feel a little regretful -

I didn't hear any news about the sequel of the insect master on the scene. ”

"Hahaha,Indeed,The insect master is also an alternative in the game.,The range of people taken care of is actually quite large.,This time the monster hunter should be regarded as another expansion of the insect master.,It's equivalent to making a new ecological combat type game.,It's also a differentiated game product route.。

"I hope that Pokeni's games will become better and better, and I also hope that they can make more different types of games, so that every player can find which one of their own."

In fact, this is also the strategy and desire of Qingzhiyuan.

The crowd is differentiated, so that different games can adapt to different players, and let Pokeni's games extend out like the Internet, penetrate into every genre and corner, and create different games, which is the grand strategy he envisions.

At that time, the games of P Society will form a huge ecological network, and its position in the game industry will be more difficult to shake, and at the same time, it will be more vigorous.

It will not cause the company to plummet because of the decline of a certain game genre, but will only seek innovation and change, big and full, more and more refined, and will be invincible under such a premise.

……

"I feel like most of the previous games don't have much to remember, and I woke up all of a sudden when I went to Pokeni, and Qing Zhiyuan's speech was also very interesting, and I still remember the scholar and the female ghost playing Texas Hold'em."

"Hahahaha, it's really a god-like Texas Hold'em, it's really funny to be mixed in such a story, but the memory point came out all of a sudden, and I felt that there must be some foreshadowing buried in it, otherwise Qing Zhiyuan just said this story just to praise Tomb Raider?

Sure enough, an online version of Texas Hold'em appeared. ”

"Is it really fun to play Texas Hold'em with people on the Internet? I still doubt this, but if you think about it, Texas Hold'em is essentially a game of watching people cook, which requires a lot of mental games, and a lot of chips.

I find it difficult to play the fun of the game on the Internet. ”

"It's not clear yet, when the time comes, I'll know after the release of the dandelion game platform, since pokeni has done it, it will definitely take into account the experience effect of players on the network, otherwise what's the point of this platform?"

In fact, at this stage, there is another thing that Qing Zhiyuan did not disclose in the press conference-

That is, the gaming platform can not only provide board games, but more importantly, you can also download games through it.

It's just that Pokeni and Sega are busy digitizing the games they made before, and they haven't reached this stage yet.

Qing Zhiyuan also didn't want to expose the platform download function too early, hide a little bit, and then wait until everything was ready before releasing it in one go, so that could have the effect of Wang Bang.

Think about it, if you don't need a disc all of a sudden, you can directly download all the games of P and Sega on the Internet, what a surprise thing.

As soon as this feature comes out, it can directly cause a violent earthquake in the entire game world.

In a way, Soyen's strategy is more similar to that of Sony's current president, Nobuyuki Idei, which is to digitize products.

It's just that Nobuyuki Idei's current vision has not yet reached the level of games, but it is still in the field of music, first digitizing music, and through the launch of various digital music devices, this is Sony's basic disk.

As for game digitization......

Just thinking about it makes me feel incredible, now PS is vigorously promoting game discs, you won't sell discs in the future, so what about game consoles?

Some advantages can limit people's thinking and become a leaf that obscures their vision.

This is a good opportunity for Qingzhiyuan.

……

The next few days will be live-based exhibitions, and if players want to experience the game, they can go to the exhibition area where their game company is located, and if they go early, they can also pick up some game-related goods.

Although this time Pokeni is not mainly promoting PokΓ©mon, the PokΓ©mon are still an indispensable scenery in the scene, a bunch of chubby Pikachu and Jenny Turtles are standing for the P Society, as long as you see them, you will never go to the wrong place.

In the Monster Hunter booth, the players were crowded, three layers inside and three layers outside, the queue was long, almost all the way to the outside of the exhibition hall, many players after watching the pre-show press conference, are full of interest in this game, want to experience the actual machine.

Monster Hunter's sense of action, sense of blow, and various experiences are much better than other games on the scene.

Sadly, Tomb Raider is once again a Monster Hunter contrast.

Although the two are different games, they can generally be classified as 3D action game masterpieces.

Of course, after the experience, players still have a high opinion of Tomb Raider.

It's just that none of these ratings are as high as Monster Hunter.

In addition to Monster Hunter, the most popular game is naturally the Dragon Hunt Journey, the same 3D action game masterpiece, the difference is that this game is a two-dimensional style animation type 3D action game.

Unlike the freshness and light-heartedness it seems on the surface, players only discover how difficult the dragon hunt is during the experience.

The operation experience, sense of impact, and expressiveness of the Monster Hunter and Dragon Hunt Tour are all top-notch, but they will die after inexplicably playing for a long time.

Especially when you're facing multiple enemies, it's hard to get out of it in a short period of time, and you'll be killed if you're not careful.

This can't help but make players sigh -

It's an action game made by Pokeni.,It's still as bad as ever.。

……

The E3 Electronics Show is a carnival for players, and many players have received exquisite prizes at the exhibition site, and have also experienced a variety of rich and interesting games.

In the end, everyone was full of praise for several new games of Pokeni, and Monster Hunter and Dragon Hunt also won a lot of awards at this electronic show.

Since '98, E3 has held similar evaluation activities, some of which are given to players to score, and a large part of the scores are evaluated by the [expert team].

On the surface, it looks similar to the Oscars in the game industry, but in fact, they are all sophisticated, and the award-winning games and game consoles are basically big labels with names and surnames, and they are almost set before the event, and the main thing is to entertain and cheerful.

However, some games deserve their name, such as Dragon Quest, which won the award for best performance.

Monster Hunter wins the most anticipated and powerful game award.

In terms of game consoles, Sony's PS2 won the most anticipated award, while DC won the most popular award of the moment.

The main thing is that the rain and dew are evenly wet, and each game can find a suitable award for itself, and the major game manufacturers can return with a full load.

Only simple players still think that the selection conducted by the organizers is very fair, and they are arguing about the fact that so-and-so game won such and such an award.

……

After experiencing the game of P Club on the spot, many players became more and more entangled.

"Wow, Pokeni's new game is very strong, after I tried Monster Hunter and Dragon Hunt Tour, I can't put it down, I guess I dream about it at night.

But what is more tangled is -

I don't actually plan to buy Sega DC, I think the PS2 will be released next year, so I'm going to have to wait and see.

But now that I found out that Pokeni's game was so fun, the balance in my heart suddenly swayed. ”

"Hahaha, me too, I was ready to wait for PS2 before, but now I'm really hesitant and very shaken."

"It's all to blame for Pokeni's game being so well done."

"Damn Qing Zhiyuan, why do you have to buy Sega, it would be nice if I always supported PS, I would prefer that P Company will always be a partner of Sony, rather than become a head-on competitor like now.

That way, I can choose the PS2 without hesitation, and I can play my favorite pokeni games on the PS2. ”

"Hahahaha, is this the so-called incomprehensible combination of fish and bear's paws?"

"Actually, whether or not to buy a DC game console is very simple, it depends on whether you have a game that you particularly want to play, and you will definitely be able to play on this game console platform in the future."

"For people who have money in the family, there is actually no choice, all of them have to be, the problem is that people who don't have so much money in their hands."

"Actually, it's not very expensive, $249 DC game console, just a little bit of the salary is deducted."

"There isn't much to hesitate about the console itself, the price of 249 is $60 for a box of games, and 4 games are almost that much.

It's more about what kind of game to play. ”

"Well, that's true, if you talk about it this way, then I can almost make a decision, I am very motivated and interested in pokeni's games, and if you can't play it on the PS platform, then you should buy a DC game console."

……

Exclusive games are the ones that can drive the sales of consoles the most, and PS is also able to get to this day because of the exclusivity of pokeni and Final Fantasy 7.

If there's anything that makes players have a huge drive to buy it, or that can inspire the love and desire for the game in the hearts of players, it must be Pokeni's game.

The games of P Company are so good in terms of graphics, gameplay, and storytelling that it is difficult to find a replacement in the world.

It can even be described as a strange commodity to live in.

……

After the E3 electronics show, as expected, Sega DC's game console sales soared again.

From almost 10 million copies to more than 1,200 consoles sold worldwide, it is expected to achieve a breakthrough of 20 million within this year if this momentum continues.

Judging from the game performance of P Company and many franchisees, players and the market are full of confidence in Sega DC.

As long as you have faith, then the more willing players are to buy DC and the games above.

If the market feedback is good, then third-party game manufacturers are more willing to put their games on this platform.

The more games there are on the platform, the more attractive it will be to players, just like the ecological strategy envisioned by Qingzhiyuan, when you have enough game types and enough numbers, the number of players will also increase exponentially.

And then it boosts the sales of consoles.

This is a positive spiral.
