Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 194 98. Poor child

"What? Ghibli is actually collaborating with pokeni?"

"Did I hear it wrong?"

Ghibli invited Pokeni to produce games, and Pokeni invited Hayao Miyazaki to serve as the animation director. This matter has spread widely in both the game and animation circles, even in unrelated circles.

Eventually, it naturally spread to the big boss in Rentian, Pu Yamauchi.

When he saw the news, Yamauchi Pu first couldn't believe it, and second, his lungs were about to explode with anger.

"It is said that Hayao Miyazaki took the initiative to find Qing Zhiyuan." Shigeru Miyamoto added next to him.

"Qing Zhiyuan? That Qing Zhiyuan? Can Hayao Miyazaki like him?" Hiroshi Yamauchi's shock was completely written on his face.

Hayao Miyazaki is famous for being stubborn and even a bit conservative. He has never been very fond of games and has rejected countless requests to gamify Ghibli's animations.

Otherwise, how much money would Ghibli make now.

But if you think about it carefully, Miyamoto Shigeru is more likely to say it.

If Hayao Miyazaki himself is not willing, who can persuade him?

But when he thought that even a master like Hayao Miyazaki had turned to Qing Zhiyuan, Hiroshi Yamauchi felt itching with hatred.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to pokeni before this. Such a small company, without the support of Rentian Tian, ​​​​can make huge waves.

Hey, he really turned me upside down.

It’s easy to say about other games, but since Pokémon came out, it not only broke out in the gaming field, but also led to mutual cooperation between Sony and Sega.

After the GP handheld came out, it immediately won the hearts of players with its ultra-high gaming performance, rechargeable battery, lightweight body, and color screen.

From last year to now, the sales volume of GP handheld console in Europe and the United States has reached an astonishing 20 million copies, of which more than 3 million were contributed by Pokémon.

The Sega GP was also the first handheld console in history to surpass Rentendo in sales.

It would be okay if it was just the Omi market that was caught off guard by Sega, but the problem lies in - the Neon market also seems to have a faint tendency to be surpassed by Sega GP.

What made Hiroshi Yamauchi angry the most was——

Even now, Rentenda still has not been able to develop a handheld game console that is comparable to Sega in terms of overall performance.

For this reason, he often lost his temper with Gunpei Yokoi in the R\u0026D department.

Yokoi Gunpei said that this is not entirely their responsibility. So far, apart from Sony, there is really no second substitute for the most important core technology [lithium battery].

But as Sony also knows, didn’t they have a conflict with us the year before last and then part ways?

Therefore, this matter was not resolved perfectly in the end, and Hiroshi Yamauchi could only watch as he gradually lost his dominant position in the handheld field.

If this continues, it will be a matter of time before Sega takes over.

When he thought of Nakayama Hayao's annoying appearance, Yamauchi Hiroshi couldn't help but get angry.

…

Now, there is one more thing to worry about.

"Why are they all pokeni?!" Hiroshi Yamauchi squinted his eyes, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

Why is there Qing Zhiyuan everywhere?

From Sega's new handheld console, to Pokémon, and now working with Hayao Miyazaki, does this person have such great charm? !

"I totally don't understand why Hayao Miyazaki is looking for pokeni."

"It's not entirely a bad thing, right?" Xiaomao said, "At least Hayao Miyazaki is willing to try gamification. Maybe there will be a possibility of cooperation between us in the future."

Regardless of who is the first to take advantage of it, as long as this door is opened, Ghibli will have a path that can be gamified in the future, which will definitely be profitable for a large company like Rentendo.

"I mean, why pokeni!?" Yamauchi's face was livid, and he slammed the magazine on the table.

Shigeru Miyamoto's whole body trembled.

"It is said that Hayao Miyazaki saw pokeni's game advertisement on TV and thought that they used games to perform stories. This method is worth learning." Shigeru Miyamoto said bravely.

However, at the same time, Shigeru Miyamoto looked at the white-haired old man in front of him who was not angry and proud, and couldn't help but think -

Perhaps President Yamauchi and Hayao Miyazaki are the same type of people, both are tyrants in their respective fields.

Can such people work together?

"Why pokeni?! Why Qing Zhiyuan?!" Hiroshi Yamauchi asked again, strengthening his tone.

This time Miyamoto Shigeru was so frightened that his heart trembled.

Cold sweat broke out from behind.

Gunpei Yokoi must have been under such high-intensity pressure in the past two years, right?

Hiroshi Yamauchi is usually scary, but even more so when he gets angry. He is like a lion. Although he doesn't roar, even if he just gasps in a low voice, it is enough to scare people to death.

Ghibli and Suzuki P came to restrain and comfort Hayao Miyazaki, but there is no such person in Rentendao.

"Well... we can have a meeting to discuss it," Shigeru Miyamoto said bravely. "In fact, The Legend of Zelda has great potential to be made into an animation. How about we develop more new RPGs?"

This time Miyamoto Shigeru finally got to the core of the problem——

What Yamauchi wants to ask is why pokeni and not us?

Renten Tian is obviously the number one in the industry, but the partner Ghibli chose to cooperate with is not Ren Tian Tian. This is a slap in the face.

Hiroshi Yamauchi felt that even if Ghibli chose Konami or Square, it would have chosen the abominable pokeni?

No matter what, we must win back the victory.

This is Rentian's style.

There cannot be another predator on the lion's territory. If there is one, it must be killed.

What's scary is that Yamauchi Pu has seen the wealth wolves surrounding him, all coveting the fat sheep in Rentian's mouth with terrifying and greedy eyes. What's even more terrifying is that Yamauchi Pu always has the illusion that this lion is weakening. .

If you don't cheer up, flex your muscles, and beat down the alpha wolf, Rentian's future is really not optimistic.

"Fine."

Yamauchi Hiroshi didn't speak anymore, but he was still in a bad mood.

Wow~

horrible.

After coming out of the president's office, Shigeru Miyamoto found that his entire back was soaked.

…

Hiroshi Yamauchi had a sense of worry in his heart. This was the terrible intuition of a business giant and a legendary genius, but he might have been wrong about one thing.

That is, in Yamauchi's mind, the most powerful wolf among the wolves now is led by Sega.

But in fact, Sega is not much better than Rentian. It also has its own crisis, especially recently, Sega has invested a lot of money in the development of game consoles, and even borrowed huge loans from banks.

Sega may appear strong, but it may fall down in one fell swoop.

Only Sony and pokeni may become the two strongest hungry wolves in the future.

Sony, in particular, is no longer satisfied with the field of audio and video products, but has stepped in and is secretly developing new consoles.

Since the advent of CD-ROM technology, Sony has launched a revolution in the field of audio and video products in the past two years——

Audio and video products on CD.

As a new storage medium, CD itself has a larger capacity. At the same time, Sony's CD player has good playback functions. CDs greatly reduce the space for audio and video products. A small disc can watch more than 1 movie. hours of animation.

Under the joint promotion of Sony and Philips, CDs quickly replaced the old video tapes.

So now you can see all kinds of optical discs everywhere in the market, whether they are animation discs or film and television discs, everything seems to have changed overnight.

Nao Tsuda was also the first woman to smell the trend. DUN was the first to use compact discs as the carrier of blue movies. Once launched, it immediately achieved great success.

The VCD standard was jointly formulated by Sony, Philips, JVC, Panasonic and other electrical appliance manufacturers in 1993. It is a white paper standard for digital optical discs. (VCD technology and equipment were originally invented by the Chinese, but it was a pity that the Neon people set the standard first.

Don't ask Qing Zhiyuan why he doesn't help change, that's not the content of this book.

If I have the opportunity to write a new book in the future, I will try to write a purely Chinese protagonist. )

Now, as a new carrier, optical discs are an irreversible trend whether in the field of film and television, music, or future games.

…

At the same time, Sony's first-generation PlayStation-x trial machine has been developed, and one of the prototypes and development equipment has been sent to pokeni.

The straight-line distance between the two companies is now only a few hundred meters, which can be said to be quite convenient.

The game console was sent over by Sony engineers, Ken Kutaragi, the current head of Sony Entertainment's new department, and Hiroichi Chikawa, a hardware engineer from Pokeni who was sent to assist Sony.

Kutaragi Ken delivered the game console and left in a hurry.

"Thank you so much, how about we have a drink together tonight?" Qing Zhiyuan asked.

"If you have the chance, President Qing, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

Looking at Kutaragi Ken's pudgy figure as he left, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh——

This guy has indeed been promoted.

His whole body was radiant and he didn't even have time to eat a meal.

But from this perspective, Sony obviously takes the new game console very seriously.

The same goes for Kutaragi Ken. This guy puts all his future life on PS. If he doesn't succeed, he will be a success. If he fails, it will be unreasonable for Kutaragi Ken not to resign.

"Well, very good, it looks like it's going to be a big battle!"

Qing Zhiyuan sighed.

He turned around and patted Qianchuan Hongyi's shoulder gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Qianchuan."

Chikawa Koichi has really aged very obviously. He is obviously a young man in his 20s and has a lot more gray hair. You can imagine what kind of life he lived at Sony during this period.

"No." Qianchuan Hongyi tried his best to smile at first, but then he couldn't hold it back at all, and he broke down and burst into tears.

As soon as he flattened his mouth, his body began to tremble. In order to cover up his emotions, Qianchuan Hongyi quickly wiped the tears from his face with his palms.

Oh my god...

What have you been through? !

"Very good, I believe you must have learned a lot. In the future, the bottom layer of pokeni games will be handed over to you." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Based on his understanding of Qianchuan, this guy might have come up with a lot of ideas. Back then, he could add a chip to the cassette to expand its functions. Now that we have entered the CD era, there are probably even more things available.

"Good president, I will do my best to live up to the president's trust!"

…

After Sony delivered the PS trial machine and development equipment, it left a bunch of instructions, including the underlying development protocols, application tools, and recording systems used on the PS.

Chikawa Hongichi is equivalent to retraining pokeni's hardware engineers step by step, and then explaining to programmers how to structure and use development tools.

This process will take some time, and after that pokeni can enter the game development for the new platform.

Qing Zhiyuan had already prepared for this day.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to use Pokémon as a big IP to develop "Pokémon 3D World"

The game will be led by original Pokémon personnel, with some personnel drawn from the existing Pokémon team to be developed, and members of the Witcher project team will also be brought in.

After all, the company only has so many people, and Shinji Mikami and Gen Urobuchi are busy developing "Upside Down Patma"

As a result, the company currently has 6 projects under development:

"Diablo 2": Producer Qing Jiyuan

"Pokémon 3D World" has not yet appointed a producer

The second generation of "Pokémon" Crystal Edition is produced by Qing Jiyuan, and the executive director is Lisa Asano (Insect Girl).

"Inverted Patma", produced by Shinji Mikami and scripted by Gen Urobuchi.

"CLANNAD" and "LIFE-LINE" are both produced by Tsubaki Furuhara, the executive director is Mika Ishino, the drawing director is Hayao Miyazaki, and the script is accurate by Asoe. (It’s such a waste to do a galgame with a super luxurious lineup!)

Qing Zhiyuan himself did not expect that in just a few years, pokeni would develop from a small company with only one game production capacity to now being able to open 6 games at the same time.

And apart from galgame and Pokémon handheld version, the development difficulty of other games is not low.

But as a result, manpower will begin to become scarce again.

Qing Zhiyuan thought of this and couldn't help but look into the experience room. He wondered when this young man Miyazaki Hidetaka would grow up.

…

Time passed day by day, and March came in a blink of an eye.

"Ah~ It's so strange."

Ma Zhizhun was walking up and down the corridor with his hands crossed, feeling particularly anxious.

Standing next to him were two seniors, Ken Akanishi and Taiji Sakata. When they heard his voice, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at him in confusion.

"What's wrong, Maeda-san?"

"Don't you think it's strange?" Ma Zhi pointed his finger at the company, going back and forth between the CL and LL project teams.

"Strange? What's so strange?" Ken Akanishi asked in confusion.

"Ah~ you mean Miyazaki-senpai, right?" Sakata Taiji suddenly realized, "But he has been in the company for a while, Maeda, you should be used to it, right?"

"Sometimes Miyazaki-senpai's attitude is not very good, and his requirements for everyone are very strict, but at least his starting point is good." Taiji Sakata looked at Hayao Miyazaki who was sitting in his seat and having a serious discussion with Qing Zhiyuan, There was a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Ah~ Sometimes I want to be educated by Miyazaki-senpai."

"No, that's not the case. You are mistaken." Ma Zhizhun interrupted them.

"Don't you think it's strange? Furuhara Chunqiu is obviously the producer of the project, but there is no producer who doesn't take up the post?"

Who is the happiest person when Gu Yuan Chunqiu returns?

Some people say it’s pokeni players.

It's actually Asahi Jun.

This guy has been a fan of Chunqiu Gu Yuan for a few years, and he couldn't be more happy when he heard the news that Chunqiu Gu Yuan would make a comeback.

"Didn't you say that Furuhara Chunqiu is going to be the producer? The project has been started for a while, why haven't we even seen him?"

"Eh?"

Akanishi Ken and Sakata Taiji were slightly surprised and exchanged glances with each other.

The two of them looked at the young man silently, with a trace of sympathy in their eyes.

Poor child, you still haven’t figured it out yet?

…
