Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 588 Divide resources from giants

Chapter 588 Dividing resources from giants

  587

YOO has fallen from the clouds.

 This is the consensus of most people.

Even if YOO falls completely, he will still be a giant-like existence to ordinary people, but YOO can only be regarded as a dying giant now.

 Many areas previously controlled by YOO were quickly redistributed, and most of them returned to the hands of chaebols.

The value of YOO company itself is still a little bit. Their remaining management barely maintained the situation and kept their basic market, which is the Internet portal window. In addition, other fields can only be abandoned because other fields are too Spend money.

 YOO, which has no capital investment, simply cannot afford such a large investment.

 As a partner of YOO, Surui Electronics is inevitably a bit sad.

But they quickly accepted most of them with tears in their mouths. YOO's game development team.

 Especially the teams that previously developed shooting games and FIFA football games were 100% absorbed into Suri Electronics.

These rootless duckweeds naturally have no choice after losing their backers. Having the opportunity to join Suri Electronics should be the best destination for them.

Suri Electronics is also very generous to those game groups that are unlucky enough to not join, promising to provide certain financial support and better sharing agreements to allow them to develop exclusive games for Suri Electronics. Of course, the financial support is definitely limited, and at most it is Even if it costs one million US dollars, this amount of money is enough for a team of twenty or thirty people to develop a game with slightly better graphics. Surui Electronics has no choice. If they cannot prove their strength, they can only be ruthlessly abandoned.

In the end, some more hard-core groups decided to cut off their own strength, forcibly break away from all control, and decided to imitate the mysterious game development genius, who developed Stardew Valley and Loop Heroes. "Nintendo is the master of the world."

One person can develop two such excellent games, and with their many years of game development experience, even if they don’t have that kind of whimsical game development ability, they can always make a living by developing some relatively good quality games. of.

The Battle.net platform, which has now become a popular publishing platform for independent games, is naturally very welcoming. They welcome all individuals or groups who are interested in developing excellent games. As long as they contribute to the Battle.net platform, Unreal Engine can be used freely. Of course, after reaching a certain level of income, they will definitely Collecting some sales share is the best result for these teams that have become rootless duckweeds.

In addition to these people, some are also absorbed by Brown Entertainment, which focuses on game development.

Huck Brown has always been an ambitious person. He is more calm and conservative than Chang Weiyu. The company has always been steady and steady. It is a good choice to join such a company.

In the end, about a dozen people joined the Morgan Group. These people were quietly recruited by the Morgan Group without alerting anyone. These people also signed confidentiality agreements. Everything was very secretive. However, this information was not disclosed to the partners. Electronic Entertainment conceals that the Morgan Group seems to be interested in trying to develop some games, and they are very interested in the number of users the games can bring.

In this way, a gaming giant that had just emerged collapsed, and the legacy left behind became nourishment injected into Surui Electronics, Brown Entertainment, Morgan Group and Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

 The video game industry seems to be divided into four parts under such circumstances.

The game arms race seems to have come to an end for the time being, and several companies seem to have entered the digestion stage.

It is not known what other companies are doing, but Youxing Electronic Entertainment has started a new round of intense preparations.

 The home console GS1 has been on sale for almost six or seven years, and sales of GS1 have now reached 110 million units.

 This is basically the limit for a home machine.

Game consoles like FC are alien, and this one cannot be counted among them.

As the GS1 ages, its performance has gradually failed to keep up with game development capabilities. There are many areas where some compromises need to be made to the performance of the GS1.

However, the price of GS1 is not as expensive as it was back then. Now you can buy a GS1 game console for only $99.

 The value of the game console itself has basically reached saturation.

According to statistics, the ratio of players buying games to buying game consoles has remained at 7:1, which is also quite good.

  In general, since the release of GS1, including game sales, it has brought a total profit of more than 5 billion US dollars to the company.

  Recently, players have begun to crave games with better graphics, and they are gradually no longer satisfied with the performance of GS1.

It's true when you think about it, GS1 is just about the same performance as PS2. The fact that this kind of performance can persist in this world until now is also due to the fact that the electronic game industry in this world was almost zero in the beginning.

If better game consoles are not developed, it is estimated that players will start to switch to other game manufacturers. Players are a very difficult group to serve. They can easily change their tune because of a game. It is said that some emerging companies have recently The ambition to develop higher-performance game consoles was only due to the sudden Internet bubble that caused problems with their respective funding sources, which led to their respective game console development plans being more or less affected.

This happens to be a good opportunity, and it is very necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to develop a game console with better performance.

Lately, the engineering development department has been intensively conducting research and development and preparations. In fact, the development work officially started about a year ago, and Airi Hayasawa stayed up all night several times because of this.

 “Zhuyou, it’s finished! Look at my results.”

 In the new Yuxing Building, the engineering development department occupies five floors, which is larger than the single game development department of any game.

 What is produced here are the most confidential products of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and it is also the department that Zhuyouxing attaches most importance to.

As the engineering director of the engineering development department, Airi Hayasawa is also the backbone of the development team.

Only Airi Hayasawa can faithfully carry out all the tasks assigned by Takeyusei with very high efficiency.

 At this time, in front of Zhu Youxing was a brand new game console engineering machine without a shell.

  This is a host developed using the most mainstream processor in the world and many new hardware technologies.

 The performance is about the middle stage from PS3 to PS4.

  It cannot meet the 4K image quality, but it is very stable at 1080P image quality.

 Zhu Youxing picked up the controller and clicked to enter a game console test game built into the game console.

 This is a trial version of the game. The content is about a person walking in the city, and then he can attack passers-by on the street. At the same time, he can also **** cars and drive on the road at will.

However, because it was just an initial trial, many aspects were quite imperfect. Either Zhuyusing was driving the car well and suddenly flew into the sky, or the character seemed to have turned into a rubber man and was stretched out. The character's head has gone outside the map boundary, and the character's feet are still in their original positions. It can be said that bugs are everywhere.

 But this game can also show the performance of current game consoles very well.

  New game consoles can carry more polygons, making game characters look more rounded, and the realism of the game has also reached a new stage. For this world, this can be called a new generation of game graphics.

 Zhu Youxing is very satisfied with this.
