Super Game Empire

"Sega, Sony, Nintendo, NEC and other companies jointly sent experts to establish a committee to discuss and formulate a criteria for judging TV games, and establish the world's most authoritative TV game evaluation committee."

"The committee will re-rated all games and evaluate them from the length of the game, the audience coverage of the game, the control, game sales, game quality and other aspects. The total score is 100 points, reaching more than 90 points, which is the Platinum Palace level, and above 80 points.

The Golden Palace Level is, and the Silver Palace Level is above 70 points."

“Each winning game will receive different levels of bonuses to encourage original companies to contribute to the gaming industry, and look forward to their next game being even more outstanding.”

This is the core content of Longteng’s proposal. It is Yang Yungan’s old business, which has changed the scoring standards of Famitong Magazine and is preparing to make it an authoritative game evaluation in the gaming industry.

What kind of magazine is Famitong? It was founded in Japan in 1986 and was only spread to China after 2004. It is called "Electronic Games". As an independent magazine with no more than 1 million copies sold on the weekly magazine, it was named after

"Famitong" can be seen that they are kneeling on Nintendo's feet and their butts are quite incorrect.

Because Japan is also a human society, the four reviewers of Famitong Magazine are likely to be affected by personal taste, personal relationships with Nintendo manufacturers, or by various external environments such as money, which may be affected by all participating in the evaluation.

The game does not necessarily make real and objective ratings.

For example, "Grand Theft Auto 3" has a 32-point score, which has become a golden palace and almost fallen into silver. How has it become popular in Europe and the United States?

"The Genealogy of Fire Holy War" scored 31 points, not even gold, 1 point higher than the Silver Palace.

"Pokemon Red and Green" has 29 points, and even silver cannot be included. What did these editors grow up with? The most-selling game in the world. Just 29 points?

"The Trajectory of Sky SC", 28 points, this is the best reputation and most popular Sky Circle in China, just this is the score.

Also, "Heartbeat Memories", 27 points. The originator of love, I won't talk about it anymore.

"SS Version Legend of Sword and Fairy", 22 points, and Xuanyuan Sword 3 and Tian Zhihen have not yet been on the TV game console to participate in the evaluation...

Otherwise, why would Yang Yun choose this magazine to perform the flag of the sword? It would be better to let the game platform merchants pay and find people and then make a truly authoritative game rating.

come out!

For Sony, it is of course the best to control the scoring standards yourself.

But when Ken Kutaraki saw this proposal, he became troubled. He kept cursing in his heart. Long Teng really used frequent plans. He used open plots on the table to fight them, but his feeling was like

It was like eating a fly. It was so disgusting, but I couldn't tell if I had any pain!

"President, the press conference is about to be held in half an hour. Do you want to prepare in advance?" the deputy reminded carefully.

Ken Kutaraki said helplessly: "I understand, let me calm down first."

I got this proposal an hour in advance, which was intentionally uncomfortable. I won’t talk about the tricks in the ratings, but only look at the reward mechanism. The content is actually similar to the reward funds made by 3DO and Longteng at the Global Developer Conference.

But at that time, 3DO proposed that a small company with a turnover of no more than US$1 million was a poverty alleviation plan. However, the advocate 3DO company went bankrupt after not long after, which led to a huge reduction in the execution of this plan, which was useless. And those

Small companies that have been looking forward to poverty alleviation for a long time have ridiculed 3DO, saying that they don’t have much ability. They are quite bragging about it.

Now Longteng himself proposed to make a reward plan in the TV game industry, only rewarding hall-level game companies, and not supporting weak companies. Kutaraki Ken believes that this is a carefully selected and deliberately made it.

He is very clear that Longteng and Sega have been doing support for weak enterprises, but only aim at the support of Sega's exclusive game providers. This is a very broad support plan, which costs tens of millions of dollars a year.

Similarly, Nintendo is here, all of whom are burning money by platform merchants trying to get support from a large number of weak companies and bundling companies with the largest base on their respective tanks.

Longteng, a committee proposal that imitates the scoring standards of Famitong magazine, is to select those classic and fun games, and then give them financial rewards and stimulate them to continue their efforts.

It seems to be a good thing for the entire industry, across multiple platforms, across national boundaries, benefiting the entire industry, benefiting the country and the people, and developing in a healthy and long-term manner.

But for Sony, it is not that simple. Ken Kutaragi sighed silently in his heart: "If Sony does not participate, then it is conceivable that the organizing committee controlled by Sega will definitely make unfair to PS platform games in the future.

The ratings are not even rated for PS platform games. Isn’t this forcing us to participate?”

That's right, Yang Yun just planned to force Sony to participate, and contribute to others and money. Similarly, Nintendo can only participate in this way. If you don't participate, you will die.

Now the question arises. What benefits can Sony and Nintendo get after joining this league?

"Is there any benefit for us? Humph, are you planning to let us be the suckers of paying money and hand over most of the bonus to various game companies in the Sega camp?" Ken Kutaraki quickly figured out this.

At this moment, Nintendo is in decline and Sony is just starting out. Most of the Platinum Hall games come from the Sega camp. This feast is destined to have nothing to do with Sony.

Nintendo may have the Legend of Zelda and Super Mary series to get a share, what does Sony have?

When this rating system becomes more and more powerful and players are affected by rich information, many people will change from watching advertisements and playing games to watching lists and playing games.

Just watch this authoritative list when playing the game. After playing the Platinum Palace game, then the gold level and silver level. As for other low-rating games, unless they are special types, you don’t want to touch them because you don’t have to waste that money.

.

At that time, it will cause a huge blow to the games that are not on the list!

"Good means! If you don't participate, you will die. If you participate, you will drink chronic poison. You will die slowly!" Ken Kutaraki felt sad, and pounded a wall beside him, gritting his teeth and said to himself: "I really want to do it."

Are we forced to a dead end?”

The same scene also appeared at the Nintendo headquarters in Japan. Hiroshi Yamauchi received an emergency call from Jace. After hearing Long Teng's suggestion, he was extremely angry and had nowhere to vent.

Arakawa followed his father-in-law and said carefully: "From the phenomenon, Longteng's scoring plan does not require Sony or our participation. They can do it themselves, using the magazine "The Power of Sega" as a carrier.

It won’t take long to control the game media and public opinion. President, we cannot participate. We must join forces with Sony to fight Sega, otherwise we will have no chance of winning!”

Yamauchi asked back with a sneer: "Can you make a decision on behalf of Sony?"

Arakawa Mi was unable to make a promise and murmured: "I'll contact Ken Kutaraki..."

Yamauchi snorted, as if he was very dissatisfied with his son-in-law's performance.

But he knew very well that he was dissatisfied with Sega's actions, dissatisfied with compromise but powerlessness. Nintendo was already too far behind Sega, and he would be beaten if he fell behind. The former king also became a slap by the other party.

The subject, if you want to pinch it, you can pinch it, and if you want to flatten it, you can flatten it. This feeling is extremely frustrating!

Jace, who received the order, rushed to the Sony exhibition area. When he saw Ken Kutaraki who was about to leave, he was about to express the headquarters' interview suggestions, he was interrupted by the latter.

"I'm going to hold a press conference now. I'll talk about it later if I have something to do!" Ken Kutaraki said calmly without any expression, making Jace's heart sink.

Sure enough, at Sony's press conference, Ken Kutaraki only mentioned Nintendo's cooperation and collaboration, and did not list them as a strategic partnership, nor did he reveal that Sony Holdings 5% Nintendo, and the two companies will

A major event in the shared game producer catalog!

Jace, who smelled the unusual breath, left with a gloomy face. He wanted to report all this to the headquarters. According to the original plan, Sony will announce the cooperation between the two parties at the time of PS release, but now, they dare to conceal the truth!

...

...

"Ha! Mr. Yang, Nintendo may have been tricked by Sony this time!" Zhang Guoqiang was a little gloating after watching the video broadcast of the press conference.

Yang Yun smiled faintly: "Two years ago, Sony was put on a trick by Nintendo. Now Sony is back. What's so strange about it? Our plan is to take it out and discord them. Sony must participate, but Nintendo will definitely not want to.

The days ahead will be long. As long as the three of us have interests, I can make them unable to cooperate."

Yang Yun has no help or helper to deal with Sony and Nintendo. He can only rely on himself and can take out any means.

Of course, open conspiracy is just an external means. The most important thing is to improve one's own skills, create more games, and defeat your opponents in a dignified manner in your main business!

After the first day of the CEA exhibition, Yang Yun began to enjoy the presidential time alone and threw all the things to other subordinates. He came to Chicago's famous Michael Jordan Restaurant alone, a legend of the Chicago Bulls, as the NBA

The team's boss said it would be impossible not to be moved by Jordan...

Of course, Yang Yun was not here to poach Jordan this time. He made an appointment with four people, the four Vultures, each with a large number of them, and none of them were left behind.

If it were normal, the four of them would not be willing to go to such a high-end place, but Yang Yun personally treats the guests, which is very different in nature!

Perhaps, Vulture Studio will soar into the sky from today and become a world-renowned game company!
