Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 259 163. What kind of strange design is this?

After sending Lao Xu away, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

It seems that this time Lao Xu was really stimulated, and he even lost his mind.

It's not that Gen Urobuchi's previous script was not good enough, but Qing Zhiyuan believes that if he wants to focus his future creations on family, family, and tear-jerking to compete with Jun Asahi, he will lose his own value. .

Pokemoni can have two great gods, Gen Urobuchi and Jun Asahi. The most important thing is to let them play to their strengths.

In fact, they are all authors with their own characteristics.

If we have to run on the same track, such a competitive relationship may be a disaster for the company.

Qing Zhiyuan himself still hopes that they can each follow their own path and maintain differentiation.

Only in this way will the company's games flourish and be colorful.

But, then again, it's actually a good thing to see Lao Xu being so serious.

Now Qing Zhiyuan is a little worried about that guy Ma Zhizhun.

Compared to Lao Xu's shameless character and the warrior of love who is always honest, Ma Zhizhun's psychological quality is obviously worse.

Ma Zhizhun is very typical of being afraid of competing with others, especially being compared openly. This will put great pressure on him, and he can easily fall into self-doubt.

Although he has done well enough, he lacks self-confidence due to criticism from players. This happened to Jun Asa in his previous life.

Back then, Key Club only had one great guy, Ma Zhijun. Think about it, if Gen Urobuchi was in the same company as him at that time, Ma Zhijun would be a coward.

Qing Zhiyuan felt a headache when he thought that the two people would inevitably be compared in the future, and that this guy Ma Zhizhun might have psychological problems.

You have to build him up mentally first.

"Damn it, isn't this guy Mazi too fragile?"

…

If he wasn't the president, Qing Zhiyuan wouldn't want to care so much.

It is really not easy to be an excellent president. In addition to daily work, you must always pay attention to the status of employees, especially those who are obviously prone to bombing and are crucial to the company.

Things like today's Lao Xu being so stimulated that he ran on the wrong track, and the very likely Mazi depressing incident in the future... these all made Qing Zhiyuan feel extremely powerless and troubled.

Fortunately, I discovered it early and was able to adjust Lao Xu back immediately. I am very lucky that he didn't go astray.

"Hey, I wonder what kind of games Lao Xu will write in the future."

Qing Zhiyuan was a little looking forward to it, but more worried.

I'm afraid that he can't write well, but I'm also afraid that he can write too well.

He is even more afraid of Xu Yuan Xuan becoming a monster.

However, it is actually a good thing for employees to be motivated. Let’s see how to guide them in the future.

Qing Zhiyuan held his hands, sorted it out in his brain, and then wrote down in his schedule the things that he would do for Ma Zhizhun's psychological development in the future.

besides……

Qing Zhiyuan frowned.

It feels really uncomfortable to be pushed around by employees.

Lao Xu wants to write a good game script, so Qing Zhiyuan doesn’t want to make the game he wants to make.

Time waits for no one.

There are many games just lying on Qing Zhiyuan’s schedule.

"Warcraft and Lao Gun are gone."

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the timetable and expressed his heartache.

There are so many landmark games in the long history of history, especially since 1994, a very representative and typical game will appear almost every year.

For example, this year’s Warcraft and The Elder Scrolls.

Next year, it will be "Heroes of Might and Magic"...

Then came Grand Theft Auto

…

Next, as the Internet continues to develop, various online games will begin to appear.

If we fail to seize the opportunity, wouldn't Qing Zhiyuan, the reborn person, be in vain?

Fortunately, I have the Dark series and Pokémon in my hands.

However, Qing Zhiyuan is worried that there is not enough time to seize so many big IPs in the future.

From the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, it was really the golden age of the game industry. Many game masterpieces were born during this period and developed in a blowout manner.

There are so many good games, but unfortunately there are limits to what pokeni can do.

So although Qing Zhiyuan made a list, he was heartbroken.

There is no choice but to make a choice based on pokeni's own development progress and current situation.

After staring at the games in the list for a long time, Qing Zhiyuan picked out the name of one of the games.

"Half life is yours!"

Half-life, the English name is Half-Life, also known as half-life.

It is developed by Valve Software.

It is a sci-fi first-person shooter series first published in 1998.

The initial version was for Microsoft's Windows operating system, and a version for Sony's PS2 was later developed.

The game created a new standard for FPS games and started a craze for MOD module games.

Valve is a company that seems a bit unfamiliar at first glance, but if you switch to V Agency, its reputation will suddenly become much higher.

Yes, that's right, this company was the one that later relied on the steam platform to make money, and the boss G Fat could never count to three.

When it first made its fortune, it became popular through the game Half-Life.

Half-Life can be said to be a milestone in first-person shooter games on the computer platform.

Since its birth, it has laid too many basic rules for future shooting games. Even the battle royale after 2017 cannot escape the framework of this set of shooting games.

Qing Zhiyuan wanted to mount it earlier, which was actually a conclusion he came to after careful consideration.

First of all, with the continuous upgrading of computer hardware, the support for games is getting stronger and stronger. More importantly, the Internet is a very big advantage of the current computer side.

Half-Life must not only be made into a shooting game, but also be able to support local area network and even wide area network connection battles in the future. On this basis, being able to develop an online gun battle game is a very important mission after its launch.

Secondly, shooting games are a very popular category among games. While it is still a blue ocean, especially when the controller is not as advantageous as the mouse, Qing Zhiyuan has to quickly develop this game.

In this way, a very important puzzle piece in the game empire territory is in hand.

Finally, but also the most important point -

Although I'm sorry for G Fat, Qing Zhiyuan is bound to win the game platform Steam, and he has been determined to win it from the first day after his rebirth.

The gaming platform is so important to gaming giants.

Because if you have a platform, you have the right to speak, if you have a platform you can get dividends, and if you have a platform you can let others create value for you.

Otherwise, why would Rentendo, Sega, and Sony engage in a console war? Their main purpose is to seize the platform, monopolize the channels for players to obtain games, and gather most people under their own plates.

Qing Zhiyuan does not follow the hardware platform model now. The main reason is that the network will develop very rapidly in the future. The virtual platform will allow him to overtake others in corners. At the same time, it is equivalent to using the virtual platform in the process of constantly developing games. Did it.

The core of P's technology accumulation lies in software, not hardware.

Qing Zhiyuan thought about this very clearly.

When this game platform emerges in the future, pokeni can completely put the Diablo series, Pokémon series, and [Half-Life] series (let’s still call them this name, Qing Zhiyuan plans to discuss with employees in the future) into the game. Bind sales are carried out on the platform.

In the future, P Club’s games will also be put on the gaming platform...

These accumulations come naturally.

While you are making games, the corresponding server framework, client framework, download function, etc. will be improved by the way.

"Uh-huh."

Qing Zhiyuan read it carefully again and realized that this plan should be quite good.

When no one realized or even thought that pokeni would pose a threat to them, Qing Zhiyuan quietly took care of the big thing.

I don’t know how surprised Sony and Rentendo will be in the future.

The only thing that made Qing Zhiyuan feel a little uneasy was stealing G Fat's steam.

"Fat G, I'm sorry."

However, Qing Zhiyuan only felt uneasy for two seconds, and he was immersed in the joy of imagining his future gaming empire.

The young HR Akane Ayase outside the door glanced at it and couldn't help but think to herself——

The president started acting like a monster again.

Every time the president laughs alone in the president's office, the programmers will face several difficult years of large-scale development.

Thinking of this, Ayase Akane looked in the direction of Program Director Ken Akanishi.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for this guy for two seconds.

This fool is still chatting and laughing with others, but he doesn't know that hard times are coming soon.

…

In December, a smokeless console war took place around the world.

This battle can be said to be devastating and shocking.

First, Sega released its own Saturn game console. The 32-bit new generation game console caused a sensation upon its launch.

After all, Sega is an old brand, and there have been quite successful game consoles like MD before, so players are looking forward to it.

As soon as Sega launched the Saturn, Sony released its own Sony PS.

PS is also a 32-bit game console, and it also has a very technological and futuristic design. The price is as low as 38,000 yen in Neon area and 299 yen in Omi area!

Many people don’t even realize that this console war is about to change the gaming landscape of the entire world.

After almost a month or so, with Sony's heavy subsidies and price war, Wanjun finally managed to find a way out of it.

Sony's PS sales have gradually taken the lead and left other competitors behind.

In one month, more than 6 million units were sold worldwide.

There is actually a reason why players choose Sony PS after many comparisons.

Because Sony's game consoles are better than other game consoles in all aspects of performance, the Sega Saturn was released too hastily and some hardware problems were not solved perfectly. It often crashed or bugs appeared when running the program.

The terrifying price of $599 for the 3DO game console has directly deterred players, not to mention that the performance of the 3DO game console is not necessarily better than that of the Sony PS.

As for Apple... Apple is like a clown, just for fun. They want to make the game console into a multi-media multi-function integrated machine, but in this way it looks big and complete, but it fails to do well in all aspects. Players People don't really buy it, and those who want to listen to music and watch TV don't particularly need this thing.

In short, there is almost no suspense about the victory of Sony PS.

The only thing that made the players complain and feel puzzled was——

Sony's controller is really weird.

When many players got the Sony game console to experience it, their first reaction was--

"What idiot designed this game controller?"

"I don't think it's necessary to have two joysticks, and they are made so heavy that they are not lightweight at all."

"Sony's designers must be out of their minds and have to make some useless designs. Otherwise, the game controller using the four-directional keys of other game consoles will probably be much better than it is now."

"Are these two joysticks really useful? And after changing the position of the cross key, it feels so awkward."

"After all, Sony is not a traditional game console manufacturer. It can only be said that their understanding of games is still lacking."

"Game console, everything is good, but the controller is too useless."

"And Sony seems to have few 3D games now."

…

Countless player feedback gathered from across the Atlantic and from Neon's hometown to the hands of Ken Kutaragi, the head of Sony Entertainment Headquarters.

He couldn't help frowning, and his heart was full of pain.

When the subordinates saw these comments, they felt a bit angry, dissatisfied and disgusted.

Look, Minister Kutaragi, this is the clever design you found.

Although it is good to support 3D, it is obvious that Qing Zhiyuan is not comprehensive. Such a controller design is too advanced for today's games and cannot be used at all, right?

"At that time, we didn't agree with having pokeni participate in the design of the game console." Engineer Yoshiaki Kinimura complained, "The drawings are quite correct, but the key is are these functions actually used?

In fact, it is really useless. "

"Who would have thought that we were all deceived by Qing Zhiyuan back then. His drawings were so professional, and when he explained them one by one, it made sense.

But after the actual release, the design of this handle is indeed somewhat redundant.

Players basically still only use the D-pad and a few buttons. "

"What are the index finger keys, middle finger keys, little finger keys...what's the use of having so many designs?"

The engineers are really angry.

After all, it took them a lot of time and energy to realize Qing Zhiyuan's dual joystick controller function.

The key is that if you do it, you won't be pleased, and no one can bear it if you are scolded by the players.

Kutaragi Ken's head was as big as two, and he felt his back was wet with cold sweat.

"Everyone, please don't rush to criticize. Aren't the games adapted to Pokeni not yet completed?" Ken Kutaragi could only use Qing Zhiyuan to explain his words to temporarily appease everyone, "Waiting for the games over there. Once it is put on the shelves, everyone will know how exquisite our design is.”

Qing Zhiyuan, this bastard!

If you don’t release the game, I won’t be able to control the situation!
