Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 407 The finalization of the new handheld console
Chapter 407 The finalization of the new handheld console
Through this time, Zhuyouxing has received countless praises.
Many media outlets have begun to praise Zhuyouxing’s social responsibility.
The Japanese government is naturally happier.
This time the linkage adaptation of film and television dramas and video games is quite successful.
This is a performance to be considered.
So they decided to speed up and urge other types of cultural products to continue this adaptation.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether the result will be as good as Ace Attorney.
Adaptation has always been a pitfall, and not everyone can do it perfectly.
Zhu Youxing’s adaptation cooperation this time also forcibly merged two successful works from different fields in the previous life together, and coupled with some social impact effects, the result was achieved.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid they might not be able to achieve such an effect.
But this is not something Zhu Youxing needs to care about.
Now he is quite a bit of a loser. What he rarely does every day is to play games and live an ordinary life.
It’s nice to come here once in a while.
During this period, another person quietly appeared in people's sight again.
That is Kazuo Murakami.
As a college student, he re-founded a new company.
This time he will be a sole proprietor, and since he is not short of money, he naturally no longer needs any capital intervention.
He can unleash his love for video games.
There is no need to consider any profit factors, just express your own evaluation of video games.
The former Yinan Game Network has truly become a thing of the past.
Without the soul figure of Murakami Kazuo, this website has also declined rapidly.
One of Murakami Kazuo’s father’s ambitions also completely failed.
In order to prevent Murakami Kazuo from making the same mistakes again, Takeyusei also put some shackles on Murakami Kazuo.
Next, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will become Murakami Kazuo’s long-term sponsoring partner.
Murakami Kazuo has the obligation to promote the first-party games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. Of course, if the game is **** and not fun, Murakami Kazuo can also criticize it, and Zhuyusei can guarantee not to settle the score with him.
However, in terms of game awards, the first party of Youxing Electronic Entertainment will not be directly involved.
Because in every award selection, Youxing Electronic Entertainment almost always takes first place without any suspense.
You always take first place, which will make other peers despair.
Sales are already disappointing enough. If your game still wins the best award every year, and other awards are almost monopolized, it is really meaningless, and it is indeed not conducive to the development of the game industry.
When an industry develops to a certain level, a more professional and fair awards system is the inevitable path to take.
Zhu Youxing does not plan to be a participant in the future, but intends to be a real judge. However, he will not appear publicly, but will only give his own opinions on some game awards.
Zhu Youxing’s ultimate goal is to see the electronic games in this world flourish. It’s somewhat boring to always play the old games from his previous life. Being able to play high-quality games in this world is his biggest expectation.
The game industry is now basically mature. This is a seed he planted himself, and it is almost time to harvest. This is one of the reasons why he has been fishing for a long time recently.
He wants to experience as many interesting games that only belong to this world as possible.
By the second half of 2001, the customization of chips and the design of the latest handheld console had been basically finalized.
The appearance will be very similar to the previous PSV.
There is a five-inch front touchpad, and the almost useless back touchpad of the previous PSV has been eliminated.
Also use a universal memory card.
Future games belong to the era of storage, not so-called optical discs. Zhu Youxing is very clear about this, so he specifically asked the engineering and development department to set up the game's storage space to be large enough.
The next step is to develop the latest game cartridges.
Thanks to the world’s advanced technology level of ten years, it is now possible to stuff a 56 GB game into a cartridge that is only the size of a thumb.
Therefore, it is also possible to develop smaller cassettes to facilitate players to save and collect physical cassettes.
In the past, cartridges were too large due to cost and other anti-piracy considerations, which was not conducive to the portability of the game. This time, Zhuyouxing decided to solve these problems in one fell swoop.
These are also successful experiences for later generations. Zhu Youxing once again made many detours.
In addition to these, the game handheld body is also equipped with dual joysticks and shoulder buttons on each side.
At the same time, Zhuyouxing also asked the engineering development department to reserve a slot for the second shoulder button on the top of the game console.
This is equivalent to a reserved interface for some future games that require multi-key play.
This kind of interface does not cost much more to produce, and it is all made by the way.
Thus, the basic specifications of such a handheld console have been completely determined.
What remains is to continuously test the compatibility of the prototype within this year to ensure that the prototype is sufficiently stable.
Zhuyouxing does not want his game console to have serious bugs like the so-called three reds of later game consoles. This kind of thing can be a very bad reputation.
Microsoft and Sony both suffered big setbacks on this in their previous lives.
Then, after the new handheld console is almost tested in the second half of the year, it can be displayed at the Consumer Electronics Show early next year.
This is a truly modern handheld console.
In the past, Zhuyouxing only made game consoles that lagged behind the technology of this world era.
After basically eating up the dividends of these backward era game consoles, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has finally become a behemoth in the video game industry. At this point, Zhuyousing can finally do something bigger.
However, while Zhuyouxing continued to supervise the development of new handheld consoles, a new round of attacks from competitors suddenly struck.
Suri Electronics released its latest handheld console and game console just before Christmas last year.
Handheld consoles and consoles were released at the same time, and Surui Electronics completely imitated the face-to-face meeting format of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment this time and broadcast its own face-to-face meeting on another large TV station and online live broadcast.
Of course, Surui Electronics’ live broadcast will not be directly called a face-to-face meeting. Their current meeting is called a future meeting, which means that players can see the game consoles of the future.
I have to say that this was beyond Zhu Youxing’s expectation.
According to normal routine, new electronic products released now should be concentrated in large-scale exhibitions.
Because the product display effect is the best during a specific period of time, the effect of early exhibition will be greatly reduced.
But exhibiting in advance also has another advantage, that is, it will catch opponents off guard.
