Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

"Nene, pokeni's new game is about to be released. Do you want to get a copy?"

On the rooftop of the company, Masaharu Yamada was repeating similar conversations with his friends.

Several people were sitting on chairs and smoking. Hayamikawa looked up at the sky with a melancholy look on his face.

Yamada couldn't help but complain in his heart:

Ever since Hayamikawa died because of a netizen club, he has never been in love again. Now he has become a lonely man. Apart from working day after day, there are very few things that can arouse his interest.

"I'm not interested in women anymore. Can a game without women still make me excited?" Hayamikawa said leisurely.

Next door, Furukawa Hirosawa looked anxious, "I'm worried about getting married. Ever since Junna hinted at marriage to me last time, I've been preparing carefully, but I'm afraid that if time goes by, she will be disappointed. disappointment.

Gee, why is getting married so troublesome? "

"That's great. If Furukawa-senpai gets married, he might be promoted to minister soon." Yamada congratulated, "Don't worry about it, senior. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and then you will find that there will be no problem." "

"Marriage is such a troublesome thing." Kinoshita Keisuke next to him said with deep understanding, "Furukawa, you have to think about it seriously. Marriage is not as joyful and happy as you imagined.

No matter how much you want to be with this person at the beginning, you will find that the other person is not as beautiful as you imagined when you actually live together.

And it’s easy to quarrel over the little things in life. "

Others couldn't help but cast pity on Kinoshita.

Yamada Shoji looked at his sad face and couldn't help but think:

It's really worthy of sympathy...that's weird!

"Obviously you are having fun on your own, so you have to treat this relationship well after you get married. Did you go to a bar in Roppongi last week to find a female publicist?" Hayamikawa poked the void with a finger holding a cigarette. Poke.

It was like a sharp sword piercing Kinoshita Keisuke's heart.

"Ah, the relationship between husband and wife needs to be adjusted. Without the guidance of female publicists, she and I would not be able to bear facing Yuxiang every day."

Yuka is Kinoshita's wife.

"Haha, I really admire you for being able to talk about cheating so confidently."

"Please, the female publicist just chatted and didn't do anything. I can't confide all my troubles to Yuxi, right? There are some things that I can't tell my wife. I can only talk to some women who will never have anything to do with Yuxi. The child is talking.

Female talents understand women better.

You may not believe it, but this is how our husband and wife get along.

With the help of the female publicists, I was able to enjoy my life with Yuka. "

When Kinoshita Keisuke said this, he blew out a smoke ring deeply.

Bullshit.

Hayamikawa and Yamada would not believe a word of what Kinoshita said.

But when they looked at Furukawa Haoze next to them, they found that this guy's brows were frowning deeper.

"What? You don't really believe what he said, do you?" Hayamikawa asked.

"Well... that's not the case," Furukawa Hirosawa was stunned and responded with some worry, "It's just that I was thinking, if I end up in Kinoshita's state after I get married to Junna...

It seems like it would be better not to get married. "

"Ah hey!"

Hayamikawa quickly scolded, "Why do you have to think so much? Not everyone will become Kinoshita. You are completely different from him, okay?"

Kinoshita Keisuke glanced at Hayamikawa with a look like "How could I be so bad?"

Then he stood up and patted Furukawa Hirose on the shoulder.

"You know? Getting married is not as simple as Hayamikawa said. Neither he nor Yamada have any experience in getting married."

Hayamikawa's eyes widened, "Okay, come and hurt each other, right?"

"No, no, you misunderstood me."

Kinoshita quickly put his hands on his chest to show Hayamikawa not to be so excited.

"What I mean is that a real marriage is when you clearly know that something like this may happen in the future, and after the passion fades, you are still willing to recognize her shortcomings and want to be with her.

If you think so, then you can get married. "

"And Hayamikawa is right. People are different. My experience may not apply to you. You should figure it out yourself."

"Uh-huh."

Furukawa Haoze nodded seriously and fell into deep thought.

He looked at the clouds floating in the sky, and then the clouds changed like a wedding dress.

Although getting married was a bit anxiety-provoking, the corners of Furukawa Hirosawa's mouth couldn't help but raise when he thought of Junna's beautiful appearance in a wedding dress.

Several other people also fell into silence.

Except for Yamada Masaharu, Kinoshita and Hayamikawa seemed to have some experiences. The memories that made them sigh were brought out by the conversation just now, but they didn't know who the assassins Kinoshita and Hayamikawa were thinking about.

It seemed like there was silence for a few minutes.

Several men suddenly raised their heads and came to their senses.

"Wait, what were we talking about before?" Furukawa Haoze asked in confusion.

"Pokeni's new game, new game, seniors." Masaharu Yamada thought to himself, you guys are really good at going off topic every time.

"Oh yeah, Monster Hunter, right?"

Furukawa Hirosawa said with a smile, "Junna should like it very much."

Seeing his smiling face, Hayamikawa and others finally felt relieved.

only……

Yamada and Hayamigawa each felt a little sad in their hearts, damn it! Another show of affection was given to me by this guy Furukawa.

【Juna should like it】

Ma De, who was still feeling depressed about whether to marry her just now?

Good guy, you absorbed a wave of vitality from us, right?

However, I heard Furukawa Hirose's words.

Several people couldn't help but be a little stunned. Yuzhu Junna was really a different girl.

This kind of game looks like a very hardcore action game at first glance, but I didn’t expect Yukitake Junna to like it.

In their perception, girls are actually not very interested in games with similar themes.

"Then you have to get one."

Yamada Masaharu concluded and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…

On September 17, 1999, pokeni's new work "Monster Hunter" was officially released.

There was a long queue in the game store early.

P's promotion time for this game is not short. Related news has been spread since last year, and it was only unveiled at the E3 electronics show in June this year.

The actual publicity effect is much higher than players' expectations, so coupled with the two months of warm-up, Monster Hunter's expectations are immediately full.

Of course, this aspect is also due to pokeni’s reputation:

It is through one game masterpiece after another that it has established a good impression on players. The products produced by P Company must be high-quality, so it can trigger a queuing effect.

Fortunately, the store manager of the game store is already an old acquaintance with Furukawa Hirosawa and Yamada Masaharu. This time, he reserved a copy for several people before the game was released.

When they arrived at the store, the store manager packed them up and put them on the cashier.

"By the way, would your girlfriend want one this time?" The store manager looked at Furukawa Haoze from behind his glasses, and there seemed to be two strong rays of light.

Furukawa was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I want it."

horrible……

The store manager actually knows the type of games Junna likes?

"Thank you, store manager, you are such a good person."

Several people said goodbye to the store manager.

“Have a good trip, I wish you all a happy weekend and a pleasant experience, and welcome to come again next time.”

…

In fact, after returning home and unpacking, Yamada Masaharu discovered——

It turns out that although "Monster Hunter" is a set, there are actually 2 discs in the game box.

I can't even finish a CD.

One can imagine how big the capacity of this product should be? !

There is nothing that can be done about this. In fact, Akanishi Ken reported this problem to Qing Zhiyuan in the middle of the game production.

But Qing Zhiyuan’s idea is that if the capacity is large, let it be large, even if it is 4G, it doesn’t matter.

Because in 1999, downloading was not done through the Internet, so there was no need to save traffic and capacity for players. Is 4 G considered big?

It's relatively big among games of this era, but being big has big benefits. It can make the game more refined and richer in content.

The Final Fantasy 8 next door also has 2.8G.

Moreover, future game masterpieces, those below 10G and below, are a bit unsatisfactory. Players will doubt whether there is any problem with the quality of the game and whether the content is sufficient.

Even by 2023, there will be many large-scale games exceeding 100G.

But this kind of thing is also related to the platform. In the future era when traffic needs to be spent, it will be conversely necessary to make the game package as small as possible.

Because traffic is money, especially in the era of smartphones, if the capacity exceeds 200M, a large number of players have been screened out.

In short, in the end, although "Monster Hunter" has been partially streamlined, it is still 8G in size. After all, the art resources in the game account for a large part, and it really cannot be reduced.

But when the capacity and network bandwidth of smartphones increase later, capacity will not be so important.

This kind of thing is a spiral development process that is constantly changing.

…

…

Masaharu Yamada started the game with some anxiety.

An interface popped up and filled the entire screen.

Then a big pokeni company logo appeared.

pokeni

【Game is life】

[Here, start an unprecedented journey of life]

After the font disappeared, the screen fell into darkness.

After the screen turned black, a line of large characters appeared in the center of the screen——

monster hunter.

The fonts drifted away in the wind, and some words that looked very classical but majestic appeared:

【monster hunter】

The scene changed, the camera lifted up, and a vast sea appeared.

The night is silent and majestic, and the waves are silent but turbulent.

Above the head are countless stars, reflected on the sea, shining with faint light.

A huge wooden boat appeared in the shot, rowing into the distance with the waves.

Tsk tsk.

Yamada Masaharu bit his lip when he saw this.

The picture alone is beautiful enough.

At this level, I don’t know how many masterpieces in the world it has to crush.

Although it is the first-generation "Monster Hunter" game in this world line, Qing Zhiyuan drew on the settings of "Monster Hunter: World" in terms of plot structure and opening.

Because the beginning of Monster Hunter: World has a good hook effect, which can make players feel the mission from the beginning, and also has a grand opening, allowing players to quickly enter the world of Monster Hunter.

In fact, the previous generations of Monster Hunter games did not do a very good job in guiding novices. It is almost equivalent to making you a tool who only accepts tasks. Especially in the first generation, players have to go to the village chief to ask for help after they are born. Tasks, and then the village chief gives them different tasks to do.

It's a bit like doing tasks for the sake of doing tasks. In fact, the players are in a relatively confused state.

But Monster Hunter: World is different. It tells you from the beginning that this is a different world, and that you have a very important mission in this world. Then it gives players a goal to move forward, and then You put it in the novice village of the game.

While there is a story, the guidance has been enhanced, allowing players to get started faster and have a strong interest in this world.

Therefore, in the absence of sufficient storytelling, the sales performance of the first-generation Monster Hunter game in the previous life can only be considered mediocre, with only a few hundred thousand points, which is still far from the world's top masterpiece. But here in Monster Hunter World, It has become a world-class masterpiece with more than 23 million users.

Since he already has experience and grasp of the overall context of Monster Hunter, Qing Zhiyuan naturally knows how to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses. There is no need to do it one by one in the order of Monster Hunter. Under such circumstances, Qing Zhiyuan directly introduced Monster Hunter: World. The opening and part of the story make players feel more involved.

…

On the calm sea.

A flag with a star as its mark and red as the main color is fluttering in the wind.

"So, everyone from the first investigation team."

"It's almost time, so let's just say goodbye."

“Once you step on this ship, there’s no turning back.”

"If you lose consciousness, I advise you to turn back here."

Immediately afterwards, the camera advanced and landed on the deck.

Then it became a first-person perspective.

In front of Yamada Masaharu, stood a girl wearing white clothes.

Her long hair was spread over her shoulders and her hands were clasped on her chest. She looked dignified and elegant yet still lively and playful as a young girl.

This is the setting adopted by Qing Zhiyuan from the Fu Niang in Monster Hunter World. It is equivalent to the guidance NPC in the early stage. She will take the initiative to find you to hand over tasks.

Although there is still some gap between the real image and the number of faces, the girl's appearance is quite good-looking.

She opened her mouth and said, "We are almost at [Shred]. We may encounter some unknown risks on the next voyage. Are you prepared?"

Yamada Masaharu smiled slightly.

bring it on.

From the time I learned about the development of this game last year until now.

I have been preparing for this for a year!
