Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 409 I can\'t stand it any longer
Chapter 409: I can’t hold myself any longer
Looking at the recording of the future meeting, Zhu Youxing’s expression was calm and he said that his mood was also very stable.
Just this picture? Haha, it's still too different from the games he played in later generations, but I have to admit that Hayakawa Ueto's bet was really big this time. The combined investment in several games totaled almost more than 300 million US dollars.
And then add in the investment in the development of new handheld consoles and new consoles, it will be impossible to make it without one billion US dollars.
However, this is a completely affordable investment for Surui Electronics, an electronics industry giant that spans multiple fields.
But when it comes to Zhu Youxing, Zhu Youxing has to hesitate.
Of course he can take a big gamble. Anyway, he has a vision that surpasses people in this world, and the possibility of failure is very low.
But Zhu Youxing was not willing to do this.
He still prefers the feeling of having at least some money in his hand.
And for Surui Electronics, even if a billion-dollar investment fails, it can only be said to be relatively painful, but if an investment like Youxing Electronic Entertainment fails, it will be a real pain.
Anyway, you can always maintain an advantage by maintaining a stable posture. You can eat the biggest piece of cake, but you cannot eat the cake alone. This will also make the entire industry develop in a deteriorating direction. Monopoly is really not suitable for video games.
There is no need to bet too big.
“Zhuyou, Suri Electronics’ games all look really fun.”
In Zhu Youxing’s office, several people watched Surui Electronics’ future meeting with Zhu Youxing.
Hayazawa Airi is now opening her mouth from ear to ear.
She doesn’t really like playing games, she just likes to listen to Zhu Youxing’s words and go to work.
She is also used to this state.
But when she saw the game screens displayed by Suri Electronics, she had to admit that these games were really attractive.
That picture, the blue sky and the lush grassland in the game, look so real.
Even she, who has a moderate interest in video games, feels like wandering in such a world.
In this situation, not many people dare to say this. Even if other employees are shocked, they still dare not directly say that they want to play the competitor's game.
But Zhu Youxing really doesn’t care about this.
He asked: “How engaging do you find these games?”
Airi Hayasawa immediately replied: "Just because of that picture, I actually have the urge to buy it. I think many players who have seen this game screen must also think so."
Through Zhu Youxing’s polishing of the engine, his early experience and development of the game team, and new course explanations.
With the same investment, it is possible to create game graphics that far exceed those of Final Fantasy 7 at the time.
However, Final Fantasy 7 does not rely entirely on the game graphics, but more on the rich gameplay and charming world view of the game itself.
Hence, Zhu Yuxing is not too worried about anything, and he does not think that Sun Knight can surpass himself just by relying on the pictures.
But it’s true that you can’t be careless.
Humans are visual animals, and beautiful things will always naturally add some favorability filters.
As long as the content of the game itself is not too bad, it is easy to win over a group of fans.
If there is a good plot, then this game has the potential to become a masterpiece.
Now it seems that this Sun Knight series, which has been cultivated through many works, really has this potential.
Hmm, he will buy the game and play it after it is released. If it is fun, he will also consider giving it a good review and voting for it in the game of the year selection at the end of the year.
But, if you want to steal your own market, don’t blame me for being rude.
Zhu Yuxing thought about it carefully. According to the current estimated release time of this new PNF game console, it should be next year. Even if it is earlier than him, it shouldn't be too early, so he still has time to make the same one. Enough to take money out of players' wallets and give it to their own games.
The only difference is what is to be done.
This can be considered later.
The meeting is not over yet.
Next, Ueto Hayakawa continued to introduce the various functions of the latest PNF game console.
The first thing he recommended was the hardware carrier for the new game console.
In addition to being a giant in the electronics field, Surui Electronics is also one of the setters of industry standards.
Their family controls the standard-setting rights of multiple industries, and no one can shake it so far.
Ever since Yusei Electronic Entertainment’s GS1 game console began to use optical discs as a new physical game carrier, Hayakawa Ueto immediately thought of his own technology.
When it comes to optical disc technology, Surui Electronics is the best in the world.
Like Sony Electronics in the previous generation, Surui Electronics in this world also has multiple optical disc-related technologies, and has also developed Blu-ray technology discs similar to Sony Electronics in the previous generation.
This kind of optical disc can now hold an ultra-large capacity of 20GB, and its cost is extremely low, far cheaper than the storage method of cassette.
And they have just recently finalized the standards for Blu-ray.
Originally, they also had competitors, but Surui Electronics was obviously better and successfully won the victory under the new era of optical disc standard customization.
The Blu-ray Disc standard, coupled with Blu-ray technology, is one of Surui Electronics’ magic weapons to win this time.
This time their new game console PNF game console uses this new technology.
With the support of new technologies, game developers can stuff various game contents into discs as much as they want, and then use their creativity to create games with more beautiful graphics, without having to worry about the hardware of the game console. limits.
This is very friendly to game developers.
And they have followed the same path as Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which is a development environment that is easy to develop games. They are also very open-minded in terms of versatility. At the same time, they also learned from Youxing Electronic Entertainment's game console operating system inspiration. Developed its own game console system.
However, few of their own old games can be played, and there is no need to waste money on making a compatible emulator. This kind of thing is inherently thankless.
In addition to Blu-ray carrier technology, new game consoles also use many of their own technologies.
Such as excellent audio module tuning and technical optimization of video output.
This is the strength of a company with a strong scientific and technological foundation.
This is something Zhu Youxing cannot envy no matter how much he envies it.
Suri Electronics’ competitive strength is really great this time.
In addition to the PNF home game console, there is also their own portable new game handheld called PNVITA.
When he saw this name, Zhu Youxing suddenly felt a little unable to hold his nerve.
