Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 356 Trial experience
Chapter 356 Trial Experience
At entertainment shows, many companies try their best to find ways to attract players to their booths.
Either giving away numerous prizes, attracting players' attention through beauty, or providing high challenge bonuses, etc.
Logically speaking, with the current influence of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, there is no need for this kind of publicity to attract others.
Because they themselves are already a symbol, the games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are all high-quality.
However, Youxing Electronic Entertainment still provides a variety of prizes.
The prizes are all limited to this competition, such as dolls that will only be produced once, venue-limited badges, etc.
These prizes are not expensive, but they are like treasures to the players.
Zhu Youxing also came to his own venue.
Because he was wearing sunglasses and a mask, no one could recognize his appearance at all.
In this situation where COSPLAY is everywhere, Zhu Youxing’s outfit does not attract much attention.
“Sir, do you have any favorite games? I can help you choose them, and then you can try them out on the spot.”
A sweet-looking woman took the initiative to come over and came to Zhu Youxing to start the game guidance.
She noticed that Zhu Youxing had been wandering around for a long time, and she probably guessed that she couldn't find a game she liked, so she planned to come over to help in person.
She is also a player herself, so she has a high enthusiasm for other players. Even if the work is very boring, she is still very involved.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, is there any game trial other than the latest Yuxing?” Zhu Yuxing asked.
"Games other than Yusei? Sir, are you not interested in Yusei's own first-party games? Yusei's first-party games are all very interesting."
Zhu Youxing thought that almost all of those games he had played countless times, and they were all created by himself. He would definitely not want to play these games for the first time.
If possible, Zhu Youxing has always hoped to play the world’s original high-quality games.
So far, there are indeed some, but compared to the vibrant and colorful game market in the previous life, it is still a bit monotonous.
It is correct to think that video games in this world are still in the exploratory stage. No one has really figured out the essence of the game. Naturally, it is not easy to develop interesting games.
Zhu Youxing replied: "I just want to play games other than the first party of Yuxing. Do you have any recommendations here?"
The girl thought for a moment, and then said: "Then I recommend you to play an action game from Kuppongi. This is their latest one, but it is definitely not as interesting as Yusei's first-party game."
Zhu Youxing said nonchalantly: "Then let's take a look."
“Okay, please come with me and I’ll arrange a trial machine for you.”
There are hundreds of game consoles in the Youxing Electronic Entertainment venue. Even if the queue for the trial is long, people can still play the games they want to play quickly.
Zhu Youxing followed the girl and came to a player who had just finished playing.
The player looked at the screen with some reluctance.
Each person’s playing time is limited to fifteen minutes.
This player is playing Final Fantasy 7.
Fifteen minutes of this game was naturally not enough, but he had no choice but to leave the machine.
But soon he went to the Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Direct Sales Booth nearby and without hesitation paid for a GS1 and a Final Fantasy 7 game.
“Sir, it’s time to play.”
After the player left, the girl picked up the controller and started to operate it, calling up the action game built into the game console, and then handed the controller to Zhu Yuxing.
After saying thanks, Zhu Youxing picked up the controller and started to experience it.
This is an action game made with 3D graphics.
However, Kuppongi's 3D graphics technology is still a little immature. With the support of the game engine, the overall game effect is good, but it is at Samsung's level and not excellent.
But this is pretty good. Zhu Youxing has roughly experienced it and feels that this has good potential in the current market, but it is not enough to make him addicted.
Based on his decades of experience as a game veteran, there is no original game in the world that can completely make him addicted.
After playing for fifteen minutes, Zhu Youxing left the trial area without any attachment.
Next, he planned to take a look at the games in the exhibition areas of other game companies.
With the booming development of the game market, the electronic game market is no longer completely monopolized by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Two or three years ago, Youxing Electronic Entertainment could dominate more than 90% of the horror market share.
But this momentum will definitely decrease slowly as more and more people enter the market.
At present, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment still occupies 80% of the market in Japan and the United States.
The remaining 20% are owned by different game companies and enterprises.
Everyone has their own preferences, and even if Youxing Electronic Entertainment tries to create as many gameplay options as possible, players will still have different preferences.
Especially some local game manufacturers in the United States, they seem to have discovered other business opportunities, that is, looking for licensed games of the same name.
For example, games adapted from movies and TV shows, games adapted from novels, animations, etc.
These themselves have a certain fan base, and as long as they pay a little attention, they can at least reap the money of a wave of original fans.
There are many companies doing this kind of thing in the game market now, because it is really easy to make money in the game industry now. As long as you can develop games, you basically don’t have to worry about finding a job in this industry.
And a new type of game has become popular recently.
It’s a video game.
cutscenes performed by real people, the picture quality is about that of a 16-bit computer, and the gameplay is more of a general game of skinning.
This kind of game is very homogeneous, but it still occupies a certain market.
This Zhuyouxing is quite impressive.
In the original world, when 2D games were transitioning to the 3D game era, some game companies developed games in this way.
This is a good way to avoid development problems, save a lot of resources, and the development speed is very fast.
Company like Activision once relied on video games to come back from the dead and finally created another world-class series called Call of Duty.
However, it cannot be said that all these video games are garbage. It can only be said that the homogenization is serious and the genre is ruined.
From the current perspective of Zhu Youxing, these video games are not very good. None of them can be played, so there is no need to care.
