Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan was quite fond of games in his previous life. As a semi-otaku, he had played a lot of console games, handheld games, online games, and mobile games. He still had some impressions of the release dates of several major game consoles.

..

If Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console can normally be launched in early 2005, then there is plenty of time left for Sega Co., Ltd. Although Sony and Microsoft are both developing new game consoles,

However, Sony has just launched a new PS2 console, and it is impossible to launch another new console in a short period of time. Otherwise, to a large extent, it will be a battle between itself and itself.

Moreover, although the number of PS2 consoles sold has been caught up by "Aquarius", due to the huge influence of PS, Fang Mingyuan believes that its vitality should still be quite long. The PS2 console has now achieved profitability, but in terms of time

But it is much slower than "Aquarius". Launching a new console ahead of schedule will obviously do more harm than good for Sony. Unless Sony plans to rely on its abundant funds to forcefully seize Sega Corporation's market share, just like in the previous life

It is the same as Microsoft's attempt to seize Sony's market share by accelerating the replacement of consoles. However, although the assets of Sega Corporation today are difficult to compare with those of Sony and Microsoft, if we really want to start a funding war, Fang Capital can act as a

With its backing, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you think about the earnings of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company in recent years, no one would think that the Fang family's current funds will be stretched thin.

As for Microsoft, Fang Mingyuan is a little unsure. Bill attaches great importance to the X-Wave

, the status of Nintendo and Sony in the home game console industry. Will the wealthy Microsoft repeat its old tricks and launch a new generation of consoles as soon as possible like it did in the previous life?

Although he is an important shareholder of Microsoft, Fang Mingyuan's influence in Microsoft is limited to the circle of important shareholders and management personnel. The wave of x has made Microsoft and Sega Corporation competitors, and he naturally wants to

To avoid suspicion, this does not mean that Fang Mingyuan cannot find out some information from other channels, so he can be sure that Microsoft's new console will not be launched until at least the first half of 2005.

This is not only because Microsoft has not yet done much publicity, but also because neither Gamestation nor Square Enix have received requests from Microsoft to develop games for new consoles. Fang Mingyuan does not think that Bill will give up Gamestation in order to keep it secret.

Works of the company and Square Enix. No matter how good the game console is, if there are no games, then it is just an expensive brick! Whichever game console has more good games will sell more units. This has been the experience

A truth proven over the years.

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan decided not to rush to launch Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console. On the one hand, it is to further improve the new console, and on the other hand, it is to leave enough time for Deguang Electronics Group to adjust production.

Uda Naka was not surprised by Fang Mingyuan's request. Among the four major game console manufacturers, Sega Corporation's main situation can be said to be the best in terms of the game field alone. Therefore, if it is not necessary, maintaining

The current situation is also a good choice for Sega Co., Ltd. And the new console is almost finalized, which gives Sega Co., Ltd. another trump card!

"How is the launch of the new console's supporting games currently going?" Fang Mingyuan turned to ask Utada Masamitsu. He has enough confidence in the performance of the new console, but no matter how good the console is, it must have enough game packages.

It can give full play to its performance. New consoles fail to get off the ground because they have too few supporting games. There are too many precedents in the past. Therefore, from the very beginning, Sega Corporation’s new console must be able to run

"Aquarius" console game, and when it is released, there must be no less than four to five games on the market at the same time. As companies with the same big boss as Sega Corporation, Gamestation Company and Square Enix Co., Ltd., new

The development of the first game for the console is naturally obligatory. Moreover, the development tools for Sega Corporation's new games have been handed over to the two major companies as soon as possible.

"Resident Evil 3 has completed 80% of the progress, and Age of Discovery V has reached 74%. If Chairman Uda and the others will release the new game in the second half of 2005,

As for the console, I think there will be no problem at all. There are also two racing and shooting games, which should be no problem. From Square Co., Ltd., "Kingdom Hearts 2" is already halfway through, and there is also the "Final Fantasy" you requested.

7" and "Final Fantasy 8" should be completed before the summer of 2005..." Utada Masamitsuchi. For Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console, the two major companies have also been preparing for a long time, and there are a total of various

Eleven games of each type are being produced. Including the games prepared by Sega Corporation, the total number reaches seventeen.

Fang Mingyuan nodded. He had played both "Final Fantasy 7" and "Final Fantasy 8" in his previous life. Later, he always wondered why Square Co., Ltd. didn't copy these two games. The plots, characters, systems, etc.

There is no need for major changes, as long as the graphics of these two games can reach the level of "Final Fantasy 10", there will definitely be a large number of old players willing to revisit the classics. In fact, he himself has wanted to revisit these two games many times.

game, but had to give up because it could no longer adapt to the "rough" graphics.

In this life, after he took over Square Enix Co., Ltd., he quickly put forward this plan. Although many people on the board of directors held a negative attitude, thinking that doing so would be thankless.

To improve the exquisiteness of the graphics to a level no less than that of Final Fantasy 10, the company must invest huge amounts of money. This will cause a problem. When the tour is released, the price is high, and players may accuse it of money trapping.

, if the price is low, the expected profit level may not be achieved.

But these opposing voices were ignored by Fang Mingyuan and were suppressed by him. In fact, when the news that Square Enix Co., Ltd. was going to copy "Final Fantasy 7" and "Final Fantasy 8" came out,

, aroused a strong response from players. For a time, the attention even exceeded that of "Final Fantasy 10-2" being produced by Square Enix!

And just when Square Enix Co., Ltd. started copying "Final Fantasy 7" and "Final Fantasy 8", Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console development tools were delivered, and Fang Mingyuan smoothly requested that these two games be released on Sega Co., Ltd.

On a new console! Thinking about replaying "Final Fantasy 7" and "Final Fantasy 8" on a console equivalent to the PS3 level, Fang Mingyuan also felt a little excited in his heart.

In fact, Gamestation and Square Co., Ltd. still have several games in production, but due to various reasons, they are not suitable for the launch of Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console. Otherwise, the supporting game lineup will be considerable when the new console is released. However,

... Considering that Sega Corporation will also cooperate with other game production companies, when the new console is released, there should be no less than twenty supporting games. This number can be said to be quite good.

Next, Utada Masamitsu and Fang Mingyuan talked about the licensing issue of movie adaptations into games. Many classic movies owned by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group can actually be adapted into games, such as "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", which will be released soon.

"Harry Potter" and so on.

Fang Mingyuan also talked about some of his views on the future development of the game market, and once again emphasized that both Gamestation Company and Square Enix Co., Ltd. must pay attention to the development of online games, and must also make reserves for the development of mobile games.

There is a somatosensory game!

In fact, somatosensory games have always existed in the arcade era. Games such as "VR Men" and "House of the Dead" require game light guns and need to cooperate with the player's arm movements, as well as games such as Dancing Machine, which can be understood as

The basis of somatosensory games.

Fang Mingyuan does not believe that somatosensory games can replace game controllers in the future, and in this regard, Nintendo already has an advantage. He only asks Gamestation and Square to not ignore this type of game and not to miss it when there is a suitable theme.

Don’t be caught off guard when motion-sensing devices and motion-sensing games become an important part of home game consoles in the future. In contrast, he pays more attention to the development of mobile games and online games.

"Master Fang, congratulations to Blizzard's first online game "World of Warcraft" for its official open beta, which has received an excellent response." Utada Masamitsu smiled. Being the head of a gamestation company is not an easy task. Fang Mingyuan's

Blizzard can be said to be its biggest rival. Although most of Blizzard's works are suitable for computers and have not been launched on home game consoles, Blizzard's performance has made industry insiders stunned - "

"StarCraft", "Warcraft", "Diablo", as well as "Might and Magic" and "Half-Life" acquired by Blizzard, any one of them is a well-known work in the industry.

The entry of "World of Warcraft" into public beta undoubtedly marks that Blizzard has another tool to attract money. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
