Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 33 Biochemical Frenzy

On September 1, 1994, Gamestation Company officially announced the establishment of the "Resident Evil" R&D department, which immediately caused an uproar among gamers around the world.

After several years of operation, "Resident Evil" has now spanned the three major fields of novels, comics, and animations, and there are now many various works that draw lessons from the settings of "Resident Evil". It can be said that all over the world

There are hundreds of millions of Biohazard fans and people interested in "Resident Evil". Of course, gamers account for a large share of them. Because they all know that the gamestation company has already stated that when "Resident Evil" appeared,

The game station will carefully create a game version of "Resident Evil". It is just because Gamestation believes that the existing game consoles cannot perfectly perform the level expected by the developers, so it has temporarily shelved the "Resident Evil" game.

development and turned to other fields.

The gamestation company has now established a "Resident Evil" R&D department, which means that a new console approved by the gamestation company will appear! So, for a while, people have been asking about what the future console of (Resident Evil) will be.

The spokesperson of the gamestation company did not hide this, and told reporters straightforwardly that the future (Resident Evil) will be launched on Sega Co., Ltd.’s new development host, Saturn. After this news spread, Sega Co., Ltd.

The stock price immediately rose by 3%, while Sony's stock price fell slightly. Moreover, within ten days, the number of reservations for the Saturn console nearly doubled, causing Sega Corporation to go up and down.

They were all delighted.

Of course, these directors of Sega Corporation also felt the pressure from Fang Mingyuan. The influence that the Gamestation Company can exert on the future development direction of Sega Corporation has reached a point where they cannot ignore it at all.

Just the news of the development of a game has had such an obvious impact on Sega Corporation, which is comparable to the national carnival when new games in the "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy" series came out.

It's just that no matter how wary these directors are about Fang Mingyuan, they have nothing to do now. "Resident Evil" will be launched on the Saturn console in the future, which can cause Sega Co., Ltd.'s stock price in the Tokyo stock market to rise by 3%. Then if one day, Fang Mingyuan announces "Resident Evil"

》Switching to *** console, I'm afraid Sega Co., Ltd.'s stock loss will not only be 3%!

Due to the halo of "Resident Evil", no one noticed that on the same day, the American Blizzard Company, which was not very famous at the time, also announced another news that it would officially develop another game - "Heroes"

Invincible".

Fang Mingyuan was very familiar with "Heroes of Might and Magic". In his previous life, he spent countless hours in front of the computer for it, playing "Invincible Heroes" from the first generation to the fourth generation. It was only due to the bankruptcy of 3do Company.

, he was disappointed with the fifth-generation "Invincible Heroes" produced by Ubisoft, and he said goodbye to the "Invincible Heroes" series since then.

Now that he has strong financial resources, he naturally does not want the "Invincible Heroes" series to repeat the same mistakes. Fortunately, with the already released game "Might and Magic" as a guide, Fang Mingyuan found neww.piaotian.comg Co., Ltd. and paid 1,600

The price of 10,000 US dollars and his insights into the (Invincible Heroes) game impressed the founder of newww.piotian.comg Co., Ltd., Joe Van Canhem, and fully acquired newww.piotian.comg Co., Ltd.

Under the Blizzard banner.

Of course, a big reason for this is that Jovan Canhem is not keen on or good at marketing. So when nwc developed, these publishing issues made him very troubled. In order to concentrate on making games,

Also because Fang Mingyuan's offer was generous and his views on the war chess game (Invincible Heroes) with Might and Magic as the background were very in line with his taste, so it took only two meetings and less than three days to complete the deal between the two parties.

This was a lightning-quick acquisition. As a result, poor 3do lost its signature classic game masterpiece in its previous life.

In fact, many people don't know that the name 3do not only represents a company, but also represents a console at the time. Before the advent of Saturn and ***, it was the most powerful console at the time.

game console.

The 3do host is not produced by 3do itself, but is authorized to be produced by well-known Japanese electrical appliance companies such as Panasonic, Sanyo, and Samsung. The first model of 3do, fz-1, was produced by Panasonic. The performance of this host undoubtedly exceeded

All competitors at the same time, however, were extremely expensive. It was several times that of other consoles at the same time, and it was as high as nearly 700 US dollars in the United States!

This is mainly because Panasonic, which was responsible for producing consoles at the time, actually wanted to make profits from the sales of consoles! People who are familiar with the game market actually know that in the sales of game consoles, major console manufacturers, including

Later, the sales strategy of Sony and Microsoft has always been to sell consoles at a loss and then make profits by selling game software. The difference is just the magnitude of the loss. Perhaps, a console, in its

At the end of the sales life, the revenue and expenditure can be balanced due to the huge sales volume, but at the beginning of the sales, if you want to make money through hardware, you will definitely end up in failure.

Moreover, Panasonic has not given enough support to those game software development companies, whether it is technical or financial. This has resulted in many game software companies, although they have been authorized by 3do, but they have no interest in developing for 3do.

Game software. The gamestation company once received an authorization from Panasonic, but Fang Mingyuan only glanced at it a few times and then threw it aside.

Regardless of the existing generous development support from Sega Corporation and Nintendo, only a fool would take the risk of failure for a new console that is completely self-financed and has a serious lack of popularity.

To put it harshly, even if a masterpiece of the level of "Final Fantasy" is developed, the sales volume of the console is only a few hundred thousand units. Even if everyone has one, the sales volume will only be the sales volume of mediocre works on MD, and the game company will lose money.

!

However, Fan Mingyuan did not completely give up 3do because of this. He remembered clearly that the 3do console would definitely withdraw from the game console market in the future. Otherwise, it would not be Saturn and ***, ***2 and Xbox.

It’s time to compete in the arena. Then its developers are undoubtedly a valuable asset!

When the news of the development of "Resident Evil" spread, the name of the person in charge, Shinji Mikami, became widely known. People couldn't help but scratch their heads. Who is this little-known newcomer, who is actually working in a gamestation company with many strong players?

, serves as the person in charge of the research and development of "Resident Evil"!

You know, "Resident Evil" has many fans all over the world. Everyone has been looking forward to it for so long. Of course, they have extremely high expectations for the development quality of the game. It can be said that every part of the new game will be affected by these.

Put a person under a microscope and "observe" it carefully. If it is said that it cannot achieve extremely high quality, then Gamestation Company and Shinji Mikami will face overwhelming accusations in the future!

Under the attention of many media, Shinji Mikami's resume soon became known to the world. People who have been paying attention to "Resident Evil" couldn't help but be in an uproar. A rookie who had just graduated with only three or four years, well, even if he was once

He worked for the famous cap*** company, but he didn’t have any outstanding achievements. Why did the gamestation company choose him? They even didn’t hesitate to poach cap***’s foundation!

For a time, all kinds of suspicious news were flying all over the media. Gamestation company personnel were questioned endlessly by countless reporters.

In the end, probably because the Gamestation company was tired of the constant questioning, the spokesperson officially announced to the outside world that Shinji Mikami's appointment was personally appointed by "Fang"!

After this news spread, it triggered a new round of discussion frenzy. Everyone knows that the original outline and background setting of (Resident Evil) were created by important people from Gamestation Company, as well as (Age of Discovery), (

Provided by the author of many popular works such as "Yu Yu Hakusho", "Hunter", and "Ghost of the Game". Although everyone knows that he is a Chinese and that he is very young, he has never been officially mentioned in the media

He appeared before. Everyone only knows that his external pen name is "Fang".

As the original creator of "Resident Evil", he also has many fans. Although he does not have any formal external position in the gamestation company, he has always had a detached status, but his influence cannot be ignored. In the early days of the gamestation company,

, it is not that no one wants to challenge his position, but the result is that without exception, he is completely ignored by the management. If his words and deeds are excessive, he will even be expelled from the company. According to relevant sources from Gamestation Company, Fang is not only

The most important creative staff of Gamestation Company is also an important shareholder of the company. Therefore, he does have the right and ability to designate who will develop his works. Even if there are any voices of dissatisfaction in Gamestation Company, he cannot be shaken.

decision.

As a result, the media's doubts about Mikami Shinji were immediately reduced a lot. What people are even more talking about is whether this mysterious "Fang" can discern people this time? Or will he encounter the biggest crisis since his debut?

A failure!

However, Fang Mingyuan didn't pay attention to all of this at all. At this time, he was having a big headache about whether Carrefour Supermarket should be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange!
