Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 339 243. The whole audience screamed

This year’s Tokyo Game Show can be said to be a feast of 3D games.

It cannot be said that all this is due to Qing Zhiyuan, but at least pokeni's influence is huge. This small engine makes a harsh roar, pushing the entire world of games to continue to move forward.

Make everything so vibrant yet traceable.

On the morning of the first day of the press conference, Konami brought their new work "J League Live Victory Eleven 97"

(This is the name on Ps. It was later introduced to China and translated as "Live Football". For the convenience of description later, it is directly called Live Football in this game)

Since Paradox's 3D Pokémon World became popular, major game manufacturers have entered this field one after another.

At the press conference, Konami’s producer Shingo Takatsuka was demonstrating the game.

In the current live game, the game modeling is still relatively rough, and the players are basically building blocks. It is difficult for you to see clearly what these guys look like. At most, the difference in hair style and physique allows people to identify who these players are.

"Wow, it's live football."

Qing Zhiyuan sat in the audience, applauding and sighing.

Live Football was the football game he played the most in his previous life, and the other one was football manager simulation.

Last year Konami produced "J League Live Victory Eleven", which also marked the true birth of "Live Soccer".

At that time, only KONAMI's sports game "DDR" was relatively popular among players. However, for football games like "Pro Evolution Soccer", KONAMI's own technical capabilities and lack of experience, and due to functional limitations, this work was not available. It did not receive widespread attention from players who were fond of sports games at the time.

However, the release of Pro Evolution Soccer 1 has laid the foundation for the future in two aspects.

One is 3D modeling.

In this game, Konami introduced 3D modeling for the first time, making the entire game look closer to reality.

The second is the overall game framework. Since football games are about rhythm, the current "FIFA" series produced by EA is about refreshment, and the rhythm of the game is placed in a very secondary position.

At that time, KONAMI very wisely chose a method of expressing real football to create such a football game, which also laid the foundation for the subsequent success of this series.

What is different from the live football that Future Qing Zhiyuan remembers is that the players used in this version of live football are almost all Neon locals. As the name suggests, the J-League is a football league organized by Neon itself.

There is no Batistuta that Qing Zhiyuan is familiar with, and there is no alien like Da Luo. It always feels like something is missing.

However, the flaws are not to be concealed. In such an era, it is not easy for Konami to be able to run live football and perfectly follow the rules of football and 3D.

There is no doubt that this game will open up a new market for Konami.

…

After Konami's presentation, Capcom was next.

This time Capcom also brought a new 3D game called "Lonely Journey"

The entire game takes place in an abandoned castle. The overall atmosphere is quite eerie and terrifying. Players need to collect different clues, and NPCs are constantly dying, which further aggravates the terrifying atmosphere.

In this process, the player plays the role of a detective who accidentally enters the castle. Not only must he escape from the castle, but he must also solve the puzzle and find out the real murderer or the truth behind the scenes.

When Qing Zhiyuan saw this, he couldn't help but stand up and applaud Capcom enthusiastically.

I didn’t expect that Capcom, without Shinji Mikami, would continue to enter the 3D field.

It's just very different from Mikami's Resident Evil.

But there is really no 3D game of this type on the market so far.

It not only decrypts and solves crimes, but also has a strong atmosphere of terror. It will also be interspersed with the death of NPCs, which directly increases the fear value.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this game is made in 3D, which immediately improves the realism by several levels.

The light also only follows the character. In a very small area, a mouse running through the corner or a big bat accidentally flying in from time to time will startle people.

Everyone watching the scene was afraid to express their anger, which is enough to show how excellent this game is.

Could it be the end of the timeline? Although Mikami is gone, Capcom has still embarked on a similar path.

It's really amazing.

…

The games brought by Capcom and Konami are actually amazing enough, but the highlight of the entire morning's press conference was Square.

The game Square brings this time is "Final Fantasy 7"

The music in the game starts.

Qing Zhiyuan felt like his DNA was moving.

Ye Qing is back.

It has actually been a long time since RPG was born and developed to the present.

Even among the same series, the earliest Final Fantasy has been almost 10 years since its birth in 1987.

However, only Qing Zhiyuan at the scene knew what position "Final Fantasy 7" had in the entire RPG history.

This game can be said to be the highest peak of the FF series, and successfully guided the entire Final Fantasy series onto the 3D path. After that, this RPG also sold a terrifying sales volume of more than 10 million copies.

It was the success of Final Fantasy 7 that finally determined the outcome, putting Sony's PS at the top of the console war, thereby ending Rentendo's hegemony in the console field.

There are many classic characters created in the game.

For example, the beautiful and brave Tifa is definitely the eldest sister in the Final Fantasy series and one of the most popular characters among players.

There is also the male protagonist Klaw, with explosive golden hair like a Saiyan, and the most charismatic villain Sephiroth...

Qing Zhiyuan counts these characters as if they are treasures in his family.

Including Cloud's blond hair + big sword, almost every game character has a clear personalized mark.

Rebel leader Barrett's eye-catching Vulcan cannon prosthesis.

The iconic character of the series, Sid, became a chain smoker.

Red Thirteen, a talking lion with typical Native American characteristics,

Teammates such as the ninja girl Yuffie and Katesey riding a giant moogle are all unforgettable.

As for the two heroines Aerith and Tifa, they each have two completely different femininities, which triggered a long-term "main palace" debate among the player community for a long time in the previous life.

In short, I am actually very excited to see Qing Zhiyuan of "Final Fantasy 7" live.

He has a strong love for the characters in Final Fantasy 7.

Even in order to pay tribute to Sephiroth, Qing Zhiyuan also asked the team members to name the final villain Pokémon in "Pokémon 3D World" as Luciferus, who also has a tuft of long white hair and a wide wings.

It is really elegant and has the charm of a villain who is both good and evil.

It not only has the meaning of Lucifer, the angel of Luo, but it is also a small tribute Easter egg for Qing Zhiyuan himself.

…

This time I saw the main art of Final Fantasy, when the original artist Tetsuya Nomura introduced the corresponding characters.

Telling about Sephiroth’s creative process,

The reporters below were all stunned.

I don’t know why I always feel familiar when I see this guy.

"Do you think Sephiroth looks familiar? It seems like you have seen him before the press conference."

"Hey, I thought I was the only one with this delusion. So it turns out you are the same?"

"Is it possible that the elements are similar, and Final Fantasy 7 seems to have referenced many Western myths and legends, so it feels familiar?"

“There are so many games created before, so it’s not surprising to meet similar characters, right?”

"No, no, it's not that Sephiroth is similar to characters in other games, I mean...ah!"

An idea flashed in the reporter's mind, and he clenched his fists with both hands and said, "Don't you think Sephiroth is very similar to Luciferus in Pokémon 3D World?"

"Huh? Are you crazy?" Everyone raised doubts.

"Pokémon is not human at all, how could it look like Sephiroth?"

"Wait... don't say it yet. If you take a closer look, it seems to be quite similar. The white hair on the end, plus the wings, and the black and white body... Hahahaha, damn it! Once you start this association, it won't be possible at all. Just can’t stop.”

"It's over, it's over, I can't face the role of Sephiroth."

…

Since Pokeni's "Pokémon 3D World" was released earlier, except for Qing Zhiyuan, who was very clear-minded, it was impossible for anyone else to think that their Luciferus was borrowed from Sephiroth.

However, Tetsuya Nomura on the stage smiled very calmly and said, "What about the character Sephiroth."

"Actually, we borrowed Pokeni's 3D Pokémon."

"Eh?!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar below.

Even Qing Zhiyuan was shocked.

"Speaking of which, regarding the 3D production of Final Fantasy 7, our team members are actually very unsure of themselves, especially the art creation team. They really racked their brains and thought of all kinds of things in order to create 3D characters. modeling performance.”

“After the release of Pokémon 3D last year, we finally plucked up the courage to firmly pursue the 3D path, because 3D games are so attractive.

The character Sephiroth is the earliest character born.

There wasn't even the main character Cloud at the time, but when I saw Luciferis, the final boss in Pokémon 3D World, I was shocked by it.

That look.

I can tell that this is what we want Sephiroth to be.

Based on this, we created this character. "

Tetsuya Nomura is quite magnanimous and doesn't seem to be ashamed at all. This is probably also a kind of confidence of the original artist.

"Lucifer should have borrowed the image of Lucifer," Tetsuya Nomura looked at the audience.

Just in time, the camera also came over, giving Qing Zhiyuan a big close-up.

The audience couldn't help laughing.

The host quickly jogged and handed the microphone to Qing Zhiyuan.

"Yes, when we created Lucifer, we were referring to Lucifer, so the name is similar." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

"I hope President Ao doesn't mind that we borrowed your Pokémon." Tetsuya Nomura smiled.

"No, no," Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand, "I'm honored. And if Mr. Nomura hadn't said anything, no one would have seen the connection between the two."

"Okay, so we don't have to modify his image, right?"

The atmosphere at the scene was made relaxed and pleasant by the interaction between the two people.

In the game industry, borrowing is actually a harmless thing, and plagiarism will violate the law. However, the boundary between the two is actually quite blurry, and it depends on how much you borrow.

The cross-species differences between humans and Pokémon like Sephiroth and Lucifer are impossible to accuse.

Tetsuya Nomura said this, which was actually to give Qing Zhiyuan face, and it was also equivalent to a wave of publicity for the game.

A win-win situation.

Qing Zhiyuan suddenly became fond of him.

After the host took back the microphone, Tetsuya Nomura continued to introduce the game content:

"After Sephiroth was settled, we initially designed Cloud with short black hair, which was a sharp contrast. Later, we felt it wasn't cool enough, so it gradually became what he is now..."

The introduction of Final Fantasy 7 was unique and interactive, and it was instantly remembered by everyone present.

Various flashlights flashed, and even if there was no speech from the game company later, these reporters had probably already formulated the topic of tomorrow's report.

【Shock! Final Fantasy actually borrows from Pokémon! 】

Qing Zhiyuan smiled bitterly.

Tetsuya Nomura got inspiration from Lucifer among Pokémon and created Sephiroth.

Qing Zhiyuan, as for Qing Zhiyuan, borrowed from Sephiroth to create Luciferus.

Good guy.

After working on it for a long time, it turns out that time is a cycle, right?

…

In fact, the host regretted it quite a bit, and even felt that there was no need to take the microphone back from Qing Zhiyuan, because after Square's speech, the next person to start promoting his product was——

Qing Zhiyuan.

"Let us welcome, pokeni!"

There was thunderous applause below.

Countless reporters quickly focused their cameras on Qing Zhiyuan.

Although pokeni is not as senior as the previous companies, this company is quite famous.

Especially in the past two years, P Club has been rising like a rocket.

Last year's Pokémon 3D directly accelerated the entire gaming era to 3D, and countless companies are turning around.

And last month, the announcement of "Princess Mononoke" in collaboration with Hayao Miyazaki made people realize the strength of this company.

The new expression form of 3+2D games has confused everyone to this day.

Therefore, pokeni is destined to become the center of attention as long as he participates in this Tokyo Game Show.

A true protagonist.

Everyone is waiting for Qing Zhiyuan to reveal the secret and see what form this 3+2D will ultimately take.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

"But, in the end, in order to maintain a sense of mystery, Qing Jiyuan didn't say anything about "Princess Mononoke" at all, right?"

"Haha, that's crazy. The reason why I've been waiting here is to see what P Club's Princess Mononoke actually looks like."

"Don't worry, Qing Zhiyuan will not miss this publicity opportunity."

"As long as "Princess Mononoke" comes on stage, it will definitely be the focus of today, whether good or bad." One of the reporters said firmly.

"Hahaha, if it's good, it will be blown to the sky, if it's bad, it will be sent to hell, right?

The large-scale rollover scene is actually quite interesting. "

Everyone comes here with the mentality of having fun, and they are not stakeholders anyway.

But the biggest fear is that you won’t come.

…

At this moment, the lights in the entire venue dimmed.

The spotlight shrouded a beam of moonlight, shining on the stage. As the aperture moved slowly, a man in a black dress walked to the stage with steady and vigorous steps.

Everyone held their breath, but soon realized something was wrong.

"Is this Qing Zhiyuan?" a reporter asked quietly.

"It doesn't feel like it, right? In my impression, Qing Zhiyuan should be a pretty handsome young man. He is clearly an uncle on the stage."

"And you don't have hair yet."

Yes, the middle-aged man walking towards the stage now has no hair at all, and his head is as smooth as a braised egg.

He walked to the center of the stage, then slowly drew out a baton, put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply.

"Wow, it's Joe Hisaishi!"

A voice shouted.

Finally, someone recognized it. This person was not the president of pokeni, Qing Zhiyuan, but an important performer specially invited by Qing Zhiyuan, and Mr. Hisaishi Joe, the music producer of "Princess Mononoke".

Hearing Hisaishi Joe's name, the audience burst into excitement.

The audience stood up and burst into warm applause.

"Nani?! Why Hisaishi Joe?!"

Everyone has the same question in their head.

Why did Hisaishi Joe come here, and where did Qing Zhiyuan go?

What is pokeni doing?

Simply terrible! ! !

"Oh my god, I have goosebumps all over my body."

"Yeah, me too."

…

Hisaishi turned around, the curtain behind him was pulled up, and everyone exclaimed again——

Behind the scenes, an entire symphony orchestra sat neatly.

The Tokyo Symphony Orchestra specially invited by Qing Zhiyuan is now in the hands of Joe Hisaishi.

He nodded slightly confidently and calmly, exchanged glances with the first violinist, then raised his hands and began to conduct slowly.

The melodious violin sounded like water in a small river.

It not only has the ancient charm of the East, but also takes into account the elegance and sophistication of the West.

The violinist's fingers slide gently over the strings, each note filled with emotion and power. The audience was attracted by this beautiful music, stopped what they were doing, and listened with rapt attention.

As soon as the music started playing, countless people's hearts were shaken.

"This, this is the soundtrack of "The Witcher", "Red Moonlight""

"It's scary. I didn't expect to be able to listen to a symphony conducted by Joe Hisaishi at the Tokyo Game Show, and it was also "The Witcher" and my favorite among them, "Red Moonlight"!
