Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 791 core crisis
Chapter 791 Core Crisis
790
Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s mobile game department is on full swing.
Their number is the smallest among all development teams, and even now there are only more than 500 people.
But their vitality is the most abundant.
On the one hand, this is a newly-established department, and the employees in the department are almost all young people in their early twenties. On the other hand, they also want to prove themselves and prove that their mobile game department is no worse than other game development teams.
In such an environment, Candy Fun's level development went very smoothly. Bamboo Youxing didn't even need to pay much attention to it in the later stages. They could develop a variety of new gameplays one after another, which can be regarded as giving the match-3 game to It's fun to play.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Youxing felt relieved and let the mobile game department take care of it.
At present, mobile games are still in a stage of development.
In the original world, it seemed that a super hit game would be born every once in a while, as if this game would become an immediate success as soon as it was developed.
But in reality these games just appeared at the right time.
The successful rise of these games is due to the continuous paving work of predecessors.
Zhu Youxing still has several hit games on hand, but he believes that the time is not enough yet, and he has to wait a little longer. Before that, he will let the mobile game department work on it.
Anyway, with the help of the Candy Fun game, this department at least no longer has to worry about losses.
Since the mobile game department does not need to pay too much attention in the short term, it is time to focus on its main business: the field of home consoles.
The research and development of switch has entered the chip negotiation stage.
Professionals within the company have been negotiating with multiple chip manufacturers for a long time.
This stage will also be relatively boring and long. Zhu Youxing also believes that they will eventually choose the most suitable chip manufacturer, and they only need to wait for the results.
The GSX console, which is still on sale, has finally ushered in a major product: Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core.
After a long period of preparation and promotion, this game is finally released.
The release time is exactly late November, which is the traditional shopping boom time in the United States.
In Japan, the United States, and Europe, there were long queues on the day of release.
Even though digital games have become increasingly popular, many people still choose to buy games offline.
Because buying games offline will give you a sense of reality.
Of course the more important point is that games purchased offline can be resold later.
Some players who do not have a collecting habit usually sell the games they have played and then buy other games to play.
So many players actually spend very little money on games.
Video games have always been regarded as the lowest-cost form of entertainment, sometimes even cheaper than watching a movie.
You can only watch a movie for a few hours at a time, but if you want to, you can play video games for days or nights, and they contain much more content than movies.
“Aiko, why are we waiting in line so early, yawn…”
At the entrance of the Yusei Electronic Entertainment Direct Store in Akihabara, Tokyo, girls from the iron triangle of Kazumi, Oto-chan, and Aiko were in the middle of a long queue.
Among them, Kazumi couldn't help but yawn.
At five o'clock in the morning, Kazumi was pulled up by Aiko and ran to buy the latest video games.
Hemei didn’t understand why he had to rush over so early in the morning to buy games, since online shopping is so easy now.
Even if you buy the physical version, you can also buy it online, although it may take a few more days.
There is no need to come and queue.
But Aiko persisted.
Aiko said: "Because you can get the signature of the production team by queuing here, don't you want to get the signature of the production team of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core?"
He Mei hesitated and said, "But... I'm so sleepy. Is it okay if you come to buy it?"
Aiko said: "Everyone can only purchase two sets of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core games, and each person is only allowed to sign one, so it must be more cost-effective for three people to buy it together, right?"
Oto-chan said in agreement: "Yes, I have been waiting for the release of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core. How could I miss this opportunity to get an autograph? Kazumi, you lazy pig, don't you want to get an autograph?"
"Of course I want to, but...but...hey? You just called me a lazy pig, right? You are the lazy pig!"
“Haha, whoever yawns is a lazy pig.”
“You guy…”
Aiko decisively ignored the bickering between the two guys and stretched her neck to look in the direction of the store entrance.
Now that the door has been opened, people have begun to line up in an orderly manner to enter and buy games.
As far as Aiko could see, she saw many older people.
Those people all looked to be in their thirties, and a few of them should even be in their forties or fifties.
Because their foreheads are already shining, you can easily judge their age.
The average age of the people queuing up this time is very old.
“Three ladies, do you also like the Final Fantasy 7 series?”
Just as Aiko was looking around, an uncle in front of the three of them who looked about forty years old looked back at the three of them, and then couldn't help but ask.
Aiko nodded: "I like it very much. This story is really great. Uncle, do you also like this game?"
“Of course, this game brought me back to the feeling I had when I was young for the first time, so I definitely can’t miss this game when it’s released.”
Aiko said: “I see that there are many older people lining up around me.”
“Well, these people should be like me, which can also prove the charm of this game.” The uncle said sincerely, and there was still a faint light shining in his eyes at this moment.
He couldn't help but recall the feeling he had when he played Final Fantasy for the first time.
It happened to be one night when he played the scene until Alice died.
That morning when he went to work, he heard other people discussing who died, and then that night he forcefully took over the game console regardless of his son's feelings, and finally saw a scene that he may never forget in his life.
Alice's death is as sad as the loss of his youth.
Later, after he finished playing the game, his wife thoughtfully prepared a bowl of instant seaweed soup for him to ease his mood, but it moved him for a long time. The only flaw that night was that he didn't have any food. He probably forgot about it. Come on.
Aiko said: "This game was supervised by Mr. Takeyu himself, so the quality of the game is naturally top-notch. He also supervised the entire process of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, so I think the quality is definitely no problem."
