Super Game Empire

On September 12, Yoichi Matsukawa, the president of Gwanggou Co., Ltd., received an official notice from Sega, requiring Gwanggou Company to sign the Segahei** agreement within ten days, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves.

Regarding Yoichi Yasuka's protest, Sega said meaningfully: "If Gwangju does not sign an exclusive agreement, although the contract signed by Sega and Gwangju will still be valid, Sega will no longer accept Gwangju's new game application on the SS platform.

, our 64 host Uranus, our Sega, will increase the application standards for Glory's TV games, so please ask President Matsugawa to make a decision as soon as possible."

Jinchuanyang was furious: "You are discriminatory! This is unfair treatment!"

Commissioner Sega sneered and retorted: "Glorious does not choose Sega SS, but chooses SonyPS. For us Sega, this is also discrimination and unfair treatment! President Matsukawa, the game platform merchant and game producer are in a cooperative relationship.

, Everyone has the right to choose in two ways. I’ll give you a word. No fence-skinned man in the world will end up with a good ending!”

As soon as Jin Chuanyang pinched the notice, he shivered all over his body in anger, and roared at the door, and rushed towards the person.

But a loud voice does not mean that he is strong, nor does it mean that he can change everything!

After being furious, Yoichi Kamikawa calmed down and discussed with his confidant how to deal with it. This is a difficult choice and has a huge impact on the company's future development and must be treated with caution!

The same scene also happened in many Japanese game production companies. Larger companies had a dedicated person to inform them, and small businesses sent them by phone. Those game production companies that 20% refused to sign an exclusive agreement with Sega encountered this.

A dilemma choice.

They do not want to sign an exclusive agreement. The main reason is that Sega did not mandate exclusive, they are making games for SS. At the same time, they are also developing the SFC version, and Sega did not raise any objection.

Because according to Nintendo's market share and scale, the profits of developing the SFC version may not be able to keep up with the R&D costs, and it cannot receive the exclusive game subsidy provided by Sega, so most companies have achieved substantial exclusiveness and live in peace with Sega.

.

But Sony is different. Sony started to hype two years ago when it entered the game console. After Sony was put on a role by Nintendo, it finally came out two years later. It developed a 32-bit console playstation.

This made these swinging companies feel a little excited and ready to test the PS platform. They have been in contact with Sony a few months ago, got the PS development package, and tentatively developing the PS platform game.

Sony's growth is far greater than Nintendo, and it is very threatening to Yang Yun, so he has to deal with it with extraordinary means at all times. He must completely tie these game suppliers and cannot provide Sony with enough games!

However, this order completely stunned the hesitant game suppliers at both ends. Not only did the development time of several months may be wasted, and neither end was pleasing, leaving a bad impression on both sides.

This is business. Either you die or I die. You have to suppress the enemy without mercy. You cannot be sympathetic. If Yang Yun doesn't treat Sony like this, they will use the same means to deal with him when Sony grows up.

Own!

No one can blame anyone. Everyone is forced to be like this!

The young man sitting in front of Yoichi Kamekawa is named Suzuki Nao. He is a very outstanding operator who has made great contributions to the marketing of Koei Company. He is the most valued partner of Yoichi Kamekawa and serves as the vice president of the company's marketing department.

"Suzuki Jun, how do you think Sega's policy should be dealt with?"

"President, there are still ten days left. I believe Sega's approach is definitely not aimed at our company. Sony and Nintendo will definitely know."

"You mean, leave this puzzle to them?"

"Yes, it's obvious that this is a struggle between platform manufacturers and has nothing to do with us small game makers. If Sony does not give higher and more preferential conditions, we don't have to offend Sega."

After careful analysis, the two of them believed that this was a scene of a fight between gods and immortals. Ordinary suppliers just need to wait for the results, which is in their own interests.

They were right about the analysis. Ken Kutaraki also heard the resolution at the first time. He could only transfer the pressure to Nintendo, forcing Nintendo to fulfill the contract and provide Sony with more games.

In ten days, the Japanese gaming industry was brewing a storm that ordinary people could not see, and everyone was waiting for the moment when Sony Nintendo and Longteng Sega officially declared war.

On September 20, 1994, the International Consumer Electronics Exhibition Cea was held in Chicago, USA. It is one of the best consumer electronics exhibitions in the United States. In addition to various TV game companies participating in the exhibition, various entertainment products also appeared at the exhibition.

It is the largest and most complete collection of electronic products in the world.

Sony has many electronic products, divided into music equipment, game equipment, imaging equipment, whole-machine home theater, etc., with a booth of hundreds of square meters and more than 20 employees, with a very large formation.

Especially in the new product release area, cybershot concept digital cameras and playstation home game consoles have become novel things that people are sought after.

The hardware parameters of Sony Ps are presented to ordinary players for the first time. Players actively look for differences from SS, hoping to find data that exceeds SS.

Yang Yun got a specific parameter in his hand, scanned it with his eyes and chuckled.

Without great innovation in CPU and GPU, PS continues to start its tricks, and insists on saying its 3D graphics processing effect is even better than SS.

The current ss is not the real history ss. With the technical cooperation of Ati Company, the maximum number of hair color is 24 true colors 16.77 million colors, 8-bit transparency, solution image 320*224, processing 560,000 polygons per second, and this

It's real data!

Let’s take a look at the PS’s slogan. 16.77 million colors are tied with ss, with a resolution of 256*224-640*480, slightly better than ss. In addition, 600,000 polygons are processed per second!

Just this last one almost made Yang Yun laugh out loud. 600,000, they dared to brag about this, which is really shameless!

The highest special effect of SS is only 560,000. It is very high if you can run 3D games normally and the effect can reach 400,000. Sony is definitely exaggerating its image processing capabilities.

Polygon processing ability determines the refinement and reality of the game screen. For example, when drawing a racing wheel, any two points can only be connected by a straight line, resulting in the circular wheels being composed of multiple pixel points connected by two pairs.

If the wheel is a quadrilateral, it is square, and the 24-quadrilateral is somewhat like a circle. After reaching a 10,000-sided edge, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between it and a circular wheel hub with the naked eye.

In order to showcase his powerful PS graphics processing capabilities, in Sony booth, the PS console demonstrated a racing game, which is "Rider Racing" produced by Namco for PS.

A demonstration man controlled the racing car to play the game, watching it on the Sony Trinitron monitor. The effect is very good, the picture quality is quite exquisite, the backgrounds on both sides of the sprinting road are also lifelike, and the beautiful vehicle tail-shaking technology makes players

I feel it is thrilling, and I also praise the processing capabilities of the Ps host!

Yang Yun didn't agree with this scene because this game was transplanted from Namco arcade and could be launched at the same time as Sony Ps. It can also be used as a demonstration game for people to watch at the CES exhibition because the Ps was referenced during design.

The arcade substrate system11 of Namco has certain commonalities in the hardware, so that the game can have very outstanding results.

In fact, this is just an exception, not all commonalities. If you change to another 3D game, the effect will probably be greatly reduced.

But the lay audience doesn't understand. Maybe there is Sony's support in the crowd, and he applauds and shouts incessantly, which makes Yang Yun shake his head and feel relieved.

It’s not only Sony, the only one who masters 3D technology! Sega has been developing 3D games for two years, okay, isn’t it just a “Rider Racing”? When Longteng’s “Dakar Rally” comes out next year, the absolute effect will be no less than that of PS

Any racing game on it!

Because there are no TVs, audio and video digital products, Longteng Entertainment Games Company only has a booth of 30 square meters, with a large number of TVs and game consoles, and there are also rows of arcades, personal PCs and handheld computers arranged in Internet cafes.

It can also be tried by the audience.

The most popular one is Longteng's latest game. The one that competes with PS "Rider Racing" is the 3D game "Tomb Raider - China Prequel". This game runs on four TVs, and there are many professionals.

Close to the TV screen, I am very interested in the technical expertise of 3D modeling.

"George, look at the texture of these walls! Also, these wolf corpses lying on the ground have different ways of dying!"

"Yes, I noticed it too. Don't you know? Longteng Games are famous for their exquisiteness and handle every detail well, so their games will be classic and will last forever!"

"Oh my God, look at the details of these hidden weapons! Hey brother, can I go to the wall and let me see the details? Wow, although there are tiny mosaics, it is really impossible to tell the difference between them when you are far away..."

"Tomb Raider 1" attracts everyone's attention. On the one hand, it is to compete with PS's "Rider Racing" for host performance special effects, and on the other hand, it is to compare with "doom2" on the booth of id.

This is a big melee, and many game production companies have shown their special skills to show their latest technologies to players and peers.

Whoever can laugh to the end, everything must be judged by sales!

At this time, Yang Yun saw a familiar man standing next to the Longteng exhibition area. He laughed. This was the first big fish he attracted. It was big, very delicious, very tempting, and it was mouth-watering. The long-lasting big fish! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
