Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 536 440. Positive Spiral

With the end of pokeni's press conference, the entire pre-exhibition press conference came to an end.

…

But players still seem to have a sense of unfinished business, as if the pre-show press conference is not over yet.

Many people wish that these major manufacturers could announce more new games, games that would shock the world, games that can impact players' vision and brains.

However, there seem to be only a few games like this.

"This time's E3 electronics show is simply a preview of the console war, and there are so many interesting and high-quality games appearing. It seems that we have come to the right place."

"Wow, it's really like this. On the first day of Sony's home field, there were basically all PS-related games, and there was also a PS2 trial machine, which was eye-catching.

The next day, Rentiantian came directly with a development plan for the Dolphin game console. Although we still don’t know what this game console will look like in the future, judging from the conceptual design, it seems to be more towards a lightweight physical product with more efficient functions. .

The performance should be relatively advanced. I don’t know what kind of game products will appear on the Dolphin game console.

However, in the end, pokeni's DC game console made me feel that this E3 electronics show was really worth it, as I could see so many game masterpieces at the event.

Whether it’s Monster Hunter or Dragon Hunt, Ashes of Everlasting 2, which will appear later, is very exciting.

The visual experience is so amazing, I feel like I am watching the world created by God. "

"Yes, yes, don't forget, there are Silent Hill and Tomb Raider on DC game consoles, and Konami's Silent Hill is also quite amazing, completely beyond my expectations.

I never thought that a horror game could be as realistic and scary as this. "

"Didn't the producer of Silent Hill say that this should be attributed to the relatively powerful 3D performance of the DC game console? It can support exquisite light and shadow effects in the picture performance. There is only a faint light in the dark world, and the world It's so realistic that just looking at the game screen makes people shudder.

Silent Hill's game performance is really too strong.

At the same time, it also reflects from the side how powerful the software technology of DC game consoles and pokeni is. "

"Yeah, when I saw Silent Hill live, especially when those scary sound effects appeared, and when the shadowy and annoying black shadow appeared in front, I felt like my heart was going to stop."

"Tomb Raider is also very powerful, and Toby Gard is so funny. He always keeps up with the trends of the times and wants to make Tomb Raider on the most advanced gaming platform.

From the original PC, to the use of Nvidia graphics cards, and now to the dual version being released directly on PC and Sega DC, it can be seen that they really want to make this game effective.

But from my own viewing, the game has really made visible progress. "

"Yes, when Tomb Raider came out this time, it was like a qualitative leap. It suddenly became refined and real. My first reaction was -

The gap between Tomb Raider and the 3D action games produced by Paradox seems not that big.

The performance is almost up to the level of P's The Witcher 2. "

"In this era, we must constantly catch up with the leaders. Expression is still the first driving force for players. If you fail to keep up with the times, you will be easily abandoned.

Once it falls behind, the company may face bankruptcy.

The Tomb Raider company can change platforms and use the most advanced technology to produce games. This is a wise decision in itself. "

"Actually, it doesn't matter what platform they develop games on. What's important is that these games are getting better and better. I really wish that these game developers would all roll up.

In that case, the games you can experience in the future should be of higher and higher quality, right? "

"Hahaha, it seems that the ones with high quality now should be DC. Although there are many game manufacturers this time, aside from Rentendo's non-existent concept machine, it is actually a battle between Sony and pokeni.

On the one hand, they are all PS games, and on the other hand, they are almost all DC games.

Although many of them were developed independently on the PC platform, compared with those game masterpieces, they always seem a little less popular. "

"Yes, that's true. After the introduction, it seems that there are many games, but when I think about it carefully, it's either PS or DC. It's basically these two that are competing against each other.

In terms of performance, the current DC game performance is completely superior to that of PS. "

"Yes, if you compare the performance of games, you will find that Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, Pokeni's Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, Shenmue... on the DC console, the picture quality of a lot of games is better. It's super awesome.

PS is obviously much bleaker. Although there are games like Final Fantasy 8 to support the scene, it always makes people feel that this is the only one that can play, and the other performance is relatively average. "

"But to be honest, if there were no pokeni at this E3 electronics show, it would probably be a lot less impressive."

“Yes, I feel that many of the games on PS are sequels, and there are not many innovations and bright colors. To be honest, when I listened to Sony’s press conference on the first day, I was a little disappointed.

On the other hand, pokeni's game quality is as stable as ever. "

"Monster Hunter is really awesome, with a creative world and a huge ecosystem. Have you seen the skins and textures of the monsters? They are very close to reality.

It has that rough skin and thick flesh feeling, not stiff at all.

When the female fire dragon appeared, the scene was so cool that I still remember it fresh. "

"Journey to the Dragon is also great. The experience is like an animated movie, and the real-life performance really shocked me. I thought it was an animation produced by Hayao Miyazaki, but I didn't expect it to be developed by POKENI itself. .

It seems that Hayao Miyazaki is not involved. "

"I love the style of Dragon Quest. It's so unique. It deserves to be called pokeni. This company has always been good at making Japanese-style games since its establishment."

"I personally like and look forward to "Ashes of Eternity 2" more. In fact, the randomness of this game is quite strong, and it allows you to experience the DND feeling of throwing dice. The various matching strategies are ever-changing, which is very suitable for people with disabilities like me. Players who like to use their brains.

I'm very glad that P Club didn't just go further and further in action games, but tried and dabbled in various types of games, which is really friendly to players like us. "

"Me too, I like high-definition and high-quality games, but my reaction skills are not good. Many of Pokeni's games are actually quite suitable for players like us, such as the Galgame series, the Eternal Ashes series, and the Insect Master.

Everything about this E3 electronics show was good. The only thing that makes me feel a little regretful is——

I couldn't hear any news related to the sequel to Mushi Master at the scene. "

"Hahaha, indeed, the insect master is an alternative in the game. The range of people it takes care of is actually quite large. This time, Monster Hunter should be regarded as another expansion of the insect master. It is equivalent to creating a new ecological combat type. Games can be regarded as taking a differentiated game product route.”

"I hope that pokeni will make more and more games, and they will get better and better. I also hope that they can make more different types of games, so that every player can find their own one among them."

In fact, this is also Qing Zhiyuan's strategy and wish.

The crowd is differentiated. Let different games adapt to different players. Let pokeni's games extend like the Internet, go deep into every genre and corner, and create different games. This is the grand strategy he envisioned.

By that time, P Club's games will form a huge ecological network, and its position in the game industry will be more difficult to shake, and it will also have more vitality.

The company will not plummet due to the decline of a certain game type. It will only pursue innovation, change and perfection. It will be large and full, rich and refined. Under this premise, it will be invincible.

…

"I feel that most of the previous games were not memorable. When I went to Pokeni, I immediately woke up. Qing Zhiyuan's speech was also very interesting. I still remember the scholar and the ghost playing Texas Hold'em."

"Hahahaha, Texas Hold'em is really like a god. It's really funny to be included in such a story. But the memory came out all of a sudden. At that time, I felt that there must be some foreshadowing in it, otherwise Qing Qing Did Chi-won tell this story simply to praise Tomb Raider?

Then, as expected, an online version of Texas Hold'em appeared. "

"Is it really fun to play Texas Hold'em with people on the Internet? I still have doubts about this. Think about it, Texas Hold'em is essentially a game of watching people's orders. It requires observing people's actions and psychological games, and it also requires some skills. A lot of chips will do.

I find it very difficult to bring out the fun of gaming on the Internet. "

"It's not clear yet. We will know when the Dandelion game platform is released. Since pokeni has been implemented, it will definitely take into account the experience of players on the Internet. Otherwise, what is the point of this platform?"

In fact, at this stage, there is another thing that Qing Zhiyuan did not reveal at the press conference——

That is, the gaming platform not only provides card and board games, but more importantly, you can also download games through it.

It's just that pokeni and Sega are busy digitizing previously produced games, and they haven't reached this stage yet.

Qing Zhiyuan doesn't want to expose the platform's download function too early. He hides it for a while and then releases it in one breath when everything is ready. Only then can it have the ultimate effect.

Think about it, what a surprise it would be if you could download all previous games from Paradox and Sega directly on the Internet without using discs.

As soon as this function comes out, it will directly cause violent earthquakes in the entire game world.

To a certain extent, Qing Zhiyuan’s strategy is somewhat similar to that of Sony’s current president, Nobuyuki Idei, which is to digitize products.

It's just that what Nobuyuki Idei currently envisions is not to the level of games, but still stays in the field of music. First, digitize music, and launch various digital music equipment. This is Sony's basic plan.

As for the digitization of games…

Just thinking about it feels incredible. Now that PS is vigorously promoting game discs, if you don't sell discs in the future, what about the game consoles?

Some advantages will limit people's thinking and become the leaf that blocks their vision.

On the contrary, this is a good opportunity for Qing Zhiyuan.

…

The next few days will be on-site exhibitions. If players want to experience the game, they can go to the exhibition area where their respective game companies are located. If they go early, they can also receive some game-related peripherals.

Although pokeni is not mainly promoting Pokémon this time, Pokémon are still an indispensable part of the scenery at the scene. A bunch of chubby Pikachu and Squirtle are supporting P Club. As long as you see them, you will never forget them. Wrong place.

In the Monster Hunter booth, players were crowded with people. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. The queue was long, almost extending to the outside of the exhibition hall. Many players watched the pre-exhibition press conference. , are all very interested in this game and want to experience it on a real machine.

Monster Hunter's sense of action, strike, and various experiences are much better than other games on the scene.

Sorry, Tomb Raider is once again the comparison to Monster Hunter.

Although the two are different games, generally they can be classified as 3D action game masterpieces.

Of course, players still have high praise for Tomb Raider after experiencing it.

It's just that these ratings are not as high as Monster Hunter.

In addition to Monster Hunter, the most popular game is naturally Dragon Journey. It is the same 3D action game masterpiece, but the difference is that this game is a two-dimensional animation type 3D action game.

What is different from how fresh and refined, relaxed and joyful it looks on the surface is that players only discover how difficult the dragon hunting journey is during the experience.

The operational experience, impact, and performance of Monster Hunter and Dragon Journey are all top-notch, but for some reason, they die within a short time of playing.

Especially when facing the attack of multiple enemies, it is difficult for you to get out in a short time, and you will be killed if you are not careful.

This can’t help but make players sigh——

It is indeed an action game produced by pokeni, but it is still as inappropriate as ever.

…

The E3 electronics exhibition is a carnival for players. Many players received exquisite prizes at the exhibition site and experienced a variety of rich and interesting games.

In the end, everyone was full of praise for pokeni's new games, and Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest also won many awards at this electronics show.

Since 1998, the E3 electronics show has held similar evaluation and selection activities, part of which is given to players for scoring, and a large part of the scores are evaluated by [expert teams].

On the surface, it looks similar to the Oscars in the gaming industry, but in fact it is all about human nature. The winning games and game consoles are basically all well-known major brands. They are almost pre-decided before the event is held, and the main focus is An entertaining delight.

However, some games are well-deserved. For example, Dragon Quest won the award for best performance.

Monster Hunter wins the Most Anticipated and Most Powerful Game Award.

In terms of game consoles, Sony's PS2 won the Most Anticipated Award, while DC won the Most Popular Award.

The main thing is that every game can find an award suitable for itself, and all major game manufacturers can return home with a full load.

Only simple players still think that the selection conducted by the organizer is very fair, and they are arguing over whether a certain game has won a certain award.

…

After experiencing P Club's games on the spot, many players became increasingly entangled.

"Wow, pokeni's new games are really strong. After I tried Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest, I couldn't put them down. I probably dream about them at night.

But what’s more confusing is——

I actually don’t plan to buy the Sega DC. I think the PS2 will be released next year, so I have to wait and see.

But now that I discovered that pokeni's game is so fun, the balance in my heart suddenly started to swing. "

"Hahaha, me too. I was prepared to wait for PS2 before, but now I'm really hesitant and very shaken."

"It's all because pokeni's games are so good."

"Damn Qing Zhiyuan, why do you have to buy Sega? It would be great if PS could always be supported. I hope that PlayStation can always be a partner of Sony, instead of becoming a head-on war like now. competitors.

That way I can choose PS2 without hesitation and play my favorite pokeni games on PS2. "

"Hahahaha, is this the so-called inability to have your cake and eat it too?"

"In fact, whether to buy a DC game console is very simple. It just depends on whether there are any games you particularly want to play, and you will definitely be able to play them on this game console platform in the future."

"For those who have money at home, there is actually no choice. They just want it all. The problem lies in those who don't have that much money."

"Actually, it's not very expensive. A DC game console costs 249 US dollars. You can just deduct a little bit from your salary."

"The game console itself doesn't have much to make people hesitate. At the price of 249, a box of games costs 60 US dollars, and 4 games is almost that much.

More still, you have to consider what kind of games you want to play. "

"Yeah, it's true. If you put it this way, then I can almost make a decision. I am very motivated and interested in pokeni games. If you can't play them on the PS platform, then I should buy a DC game console. .”

…

Exclusive games are what drive the sales of game consoles the most, and PS is only where it is today because of the exclusives of Pokeni and Final Fantasy 7.

If there is anything that can give players a huge driving force and have to buy it, or can inspire players' love and desire for games in their hearts, then it must be pokeni's game.

P’s games are so good in terms of graphics, gameplay, and storytelling that it’s hard to find a substitute in the world.

It can even be described as a rare commodity.

…

After the E3 electronics show, as expected, the sales of Sega DC game consoles surged again.

From almost 10 million copies to global sales of more than 1,200 game consoles, if this momentum continues to grow, it is very likely to achieve a breakthrough of 20 million within this year.

Judging from the game performance of P Club and many franchisees, players and the market are full of confidence in Sega DC.

As long as they have confidence, players will be more willing to buy DC and its games.

If the market feedback is good, then third-party game manufacturers will be more willing to put games on this platform.

The more games there are on the platform, the stronger it will be attractive to players. Just like the ecological strategy envisioned by Qing Zhiyuan, when you have enough game types and quantity, the number of players will also follow. Exponential growth.

And then promote the sales of game consoles.

This is a positive spiral.
