Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 408 true strength
Chapter 408 True Strength
Hayakawa Ukito had basically given up on the head-to-head competition with Zhu Yuxing before he was not the president of Suri Electronics.
On the one hand, the funds given by the company are not much, and what he can do is actually limited. In addition, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is really too strong, and the video game industry is invincible. He simply prepares to be a long-term follower. Behind Youxing Electronic Entertainment, touch the game company that Youxing Electronic Entertainment crosses the river.
However, when he finally became the president of Surui Electronics, the resources at his disposal suddenly multiplied dozens of times.
All departments can do things according to his plan.
Even with the restraint of the board of directors, he can at least be willful a few times, which is also the prerogative of every president.
Shareholders are more stable and will never take risks easily, which also makes the development of a good-end company gradually slow down and is no longer as radical as it used to be.
After Hayakawa Zhiren took office, the first thing he did was to count and integrate many departments within the company.
Then he made a new development plan, which is to open up a whole new market through the video game industry.
Seriously, Surui Electronics should have been much stronger than Youxing Electronics Entertainment.
But the factional struggle in the past, and his status at that time did not have much influence, so he could not go all out.
But it’s different now.
In the new development plan, the first thing he did was to allocate 70% of the employees of the company's semiconductor R&D department to the new game division.
The scale of the R&D team is close to 500 people, many of which are top semiconductor talents from Dongda University and even several well-known universities in the United States.
If these people go all out, creating a good game console is not a problem at all.
Even if Hayakawa Zhiren has no foresight, he will inevitably take more detours, but as long as he has the courage to explore, he will feel no worse than Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in terms of science and technology.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment's game machines are just using ready-made mature technology.
And they, Shuri Electronics, are sitting on a number of world-class technology patents, and there are many advanced technologies that have not even been shown.
And this future meeting is the moment to show their hands to outsiders.
In the face-to-face meeting, Hayakawa Ueto personally presided over the meeting, which was a face-to-face meeting that completely imitated Take Yusei.
The president personally presided over the meeting, which made the weight of this meeting obviously different.
First of all, under his presentation, a new generation of home Shuri video game console PNF home game console debuted.
PN is the standard code given by Surui Electronics to game consoles, and F stands for future.
This obviously means fighting the future.
And this time, Hayakawa Ueto also knew that the game itself, not the performance of the game console, can attract players after all.
So after only roughly showing the shape of the game console, he did not bother to explain the performance of the game console, but directly broadcast the film.
Leading the pack is Suri Electronics' leading Huadan Sun Knight series.
This series has really experienced many twists and turns since its initial birth.
From the beginning, only a few players like Sun Knight, and now it has formed millions of fans, which is really not easy.
Like Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the two largest role-playing IPs, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, had sales of one million in the first generation, and each generation can maintain a sales volume of three or four million.
And the scariest of them all is Final Fantasy 7.
Since its release, the sales volume has approached 10 million.
In comparison, the Sun Knight is really too weak.
But no matter what, Sun Knight can be regarded as a firm position in the game circle after all, at least each generation of works can be guaranteed not to lose money, which is enough for Hayakawa Ueto to insist on continuing to make.
And this generation of Sun Knights also has a new slogan.
for the future.
The full name of the game is Sun Knight: Future Fight.
In the promotional film, the Sun Knight came to the future world through a magical way of traveling.
In the future world, magic and monsters, as well as all kinds of dragons and terrifying creatures, were suddenly born in a world that originally only had science and technology.
And the Sun Knight, who is familiar with all this, comes to this future world and can solve every monster faster than the future people, and this sense of substitution comes all at once.
After the foreshadowing of many works, Sun Knight has gradually become popular among people. As long as players play this game, they will naturally bring themselves into the role of Sun Knight, and thus become obsessed with the wonderful world view of Sun Knight.
And what's even more surprising is that this time Sun Knight is a real full 3D graphics production.
This 3D graphics sun knight is full of shadows of Unreal Engine, which shows the maturity of the game engine.
This time, Sun Knight uses a very standard over-the-shoulder third-person perspective for 3D games.
Because of the previous textbook-level 3D lens adjustment method of Super Mario 64, it really pointed out a clear path for game development to all game developers.
This time, the Sun Knight has carried out its own optimization and progress again on this basis.
And most importantly, this game has pretty good graphics for this era.
This kind of picture expressiveness is at least between the PS2 and PS3 level, plus the production of exquisite game CG, in terms of picture quality alone, there is really no rival.
And Hayakawa Zhito directly announced that this game will be released together with PNF game consoles, and will be promoted as the first blockbuster game.
In order to make this game, Hayakawa Ueto used a number of his own departments, including the special effects development team of the Detroit Film Group, and his own multiple video departments to work together to produce the CG animation of this game.
Then the total investment in the game reached over 140 million dollars.
This is also the world's second mega-production game with an initial investment of over 100 million yuan.
The manpower alone is more than 1,000 people, involving all aspects of the field.
It can be seen that Hayakawa Zhito really made a lot of money, and he really wanted to fight a turnaround.
With the capital and technology in hand, the ambitions began to expand rapidly, and things that were unthinkable in the past also began to fantasize.
This is just a game, and later, Hayakawa Ueto personally demonstrated many different types of games.
There are racing types and sports types, and the most dazzling ones are those very beautiful game screens.
For a visual animal like human, this impact is really big.
And this is the real strength of Suri Electronics.
