Super Game Empire

The three of them moved to the small office next door. The secretary obediently made a cup of tea for each of them, then brought it to the door, leaving room for negotiation for the three of them.

Yang Yun saw Marcos holding a Kung Fu tea cup, smelling, sucking, tasting, closing his eyes and savoring it, and making it looks like it was made, and couldn't help laughing: "Marcos, is your American Coke delicious in Chinese tea?"

Marcos nodded with a smile: "Of course, I have fallen in love with oriental culture, not only Chinese food, Chinese tea, and Chinese fairy tales. I also love "The Road of Immortality" every day and achieve success.

Immortality is also my dream!”

Haha... Let a foreigner love Chinese culture from the bottom of his heart, which is also their small achievement. Yang Yun and Zhang Guoqiang both laughed out loud.

Yang Yun said: "But I heard that "Xianlu" has always been idle in Europe and the United States. Forget it, let's not talk about online games today, let's talk about new DC consoles and PC games."

Although I was a little reluctant to perform in the European and American markets, Longteng's first 2D graphic online game "The Road of Immortals", I have to admit that it was not as good as I expected.

Zhang Guoqiang has reflected that compared to the daily queues of Chinese and Japanese servers, there is only one reason that can be explained, that is, European and American players still do not have a deep understanding of immortals and heroes.

Cultural surprise is that from the entire social system from top to bottom, the world outlook, outlook on life, values, religious beliefs, living habits, ways of thinking, and the East and the West, he cannot make changes.

Take your time, Zhang Guoqiang cheered up and began to listen to Yang Yun’s thoughts seriously.

"Nintendo went bankrupt. No matter who took over it, it would not change the overall pattern of TV games. I don't think there will be particularly powerful enemies in the DC game at least 2,000 years ago. Unless you have done nothing in the past two years and are just spending your money.

”

Zhang Guoqiang smiled awkwardly: "How could Mr. Yang. The development of DC games have always been the top priority. Not only are the sequels of various classic games being launched one after another with quality and quantity, but we are also vigorously cultivating new games and ourselves

I am also inviting high prices to the outside world.”

Yang Yun nodded: "So I'm quite at ease with DC. But PC games, two, need to speed up research and development, our PC games are still not strong enough. Have you seen Microsoft's "Age of Empire" just now?

Cool? There is also the acquisition invitation launched by Microsoft for Nintendo. This is the latest news sent to me by the President of Zhongshan. Microsoft is really ready to enter the TV game industry. This is a behemoth!”

Speaking of Microsoft's full entry into the gaming industry, Yang Yun himself was deeply helpless. He could not stop the wheel of history, which was absolutely impossible to stop.

At the same time, he himself discovered his shortcomings in game production, that is, his unfamiliarity with European and American games.

As a typical Chinese born in the 1980s, most of the games he has come into contact with are screened by the national radio and television department. Harmonious, filtered, and Chinese-style games come and go and go, like guns, carballs and balls. Several well-known ones are among the most famous ones.

I came into contact with some kimchi online games after going to college, because I needed to work, I had been exposed to some large stand-alone games with hardware configuration. That's all.

Before he was reborn, he did a statistics on the development history of the game industry, which became his biggest gold finger after his rebirth. But this is not a golden thigh. Many unfamiliar European and American games are only known and unknown. This leads to the first

He can only deal with the online game "The Road of Immortality", rather than the "Genesis", which Europeans and Americans love the most and agree with the most.

The same is true for stand-alone games. He can't get Microsoft's "Age of Empire". Quanfei Studio, as a professional game studio under Microsoft, has received a lot of internal Microsoft technical support, so "Age of Empire" can best fit Microsoft's windows operating system.

, which can make the picture quality, game fluency, and dependence on hardware are the best players in the same level of games at this stage.

Yang Yun could only watch Microsoft bring "Age of Empires" into the game market, just like "Command and Conquer" and "Thor's Hammer", becoming a classic competitive game project and an competitor that cannot be ignored.

Falling down a Nintendo is nothing. He stands up with an IT enterprise rival with assets of over 100 billion US dollars, and is developing the game in all aspects like their Longteng. This is his biggest headache.

Don't want to do your best.

Yang Yun ordered: "Pc single player game, Marcos, "Warcraft 3" is about to start the project."

Marcos feels that he is under great pressure. He has produced "Warcraft 1" 94 and "Warcraft 2" 97. According to this progress, he must produce "Warcraft 3" in 2000.

But he still has no general idea of ​​the history of the third part. Blizzard's script writer and game architect's creation speed is far lower than that of Yang Yun, so that the progress often stagnates. It seems that everyone has a thought in their hearts.

They are all waiting for Yang Yun to take action.

"I try to speed up the waves, but if you can give us a big framework, I think the progress will be faster."

Marcos still surrendered. He felt like he was smoking opium. He knew they were employees, but it was wrong for the employee to wait for the boss to take action if he didn't work, but he always thought of the boss's wonderful ideas in the game, those grand

The setting, the clever story, he couldn't help it anymore and took the initiative to ask for the refreshing feeling.

Am I too shameless... Am I the boss or Yang is the boss? Marcos is speechless and despises himself for a while.

Yang Yun thought about it and nodded in agreement: "There are only goals and frameworks, and the rest are handled by you. This time, and the last time, I will leave all the expansion packs and sequels after "Warcraft 3" to you in the future."

Marcos was relieved and overjoyed: "Thank you, Boss!"

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Supporting Blizzard requires limits. It is impossible to support it without limit. He also has a "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" expansion pack and "World of Warcraft", but he cannot really

I only think about authorization until I can't read the memory.

Looking at Zhang Guoqiang again, Yang Yun asked: "How are you designing the game engine of "CS"?"

"We have simplified and modularly packaged 'Stereo 4'. It has been tested and the stability is pretty good. These new game engines have the requirements for commercial release. We named Longqing, which is in 3drpg, first-person shooter game

It has very high versatility.”

"Very good, I'm very useful this New Year's Day!"

...

...

In this incident where Longteng sold the DC listing, Nintendo went bankrupt, and Sony, which was second-injured, also suffered heavy losses. Their PPS game console is because of its high cost performance, and it has support from Sony music, film and television, entertainment and other channels.

In addition, Sony did not make a bold statement about 2.5 million sales like Nintendo, so it was not a big blow.

The greater the expectations and the greater the disappointment, the full truth is reflected in this matter. Although Sony also has sales of no more than 100,000 units, their mentality is much better.

But Ken Kutaraki's life is not easy. Sony is now in a period of power fluctuation, which has not only affected many discomforts in production, sales, and R&D, but also deeply affected his positioning, prospects and future in Sony's company.

, power, etc., his mentality has changed a lot.

After Oga Nobuo retired, it was not Kutaraki Ken who took over as President of Sony, but Oga Nobuo, but Oga Nobuo, the retired former president, still likes to interfere in Sony's internal affairs.

In 1996, when Jobs was invited by Apple to re-take charge of the loss-making company, Nobuyuki Irii submitted a proposal to acquire Apple to the company's board of directors, but was rejected by Oga Nobuo. This was the first conflict.

In mid-1997, due to the deterioration of the world's economic environment, Sony intends to sell its Sony Life Insurance Company to General Electric in the United States in a package and exchange for up to $3 billion in funds. It was also rejected by the forces left by Oga Nobuo and left the well.

Shinji endured it for the second time.

Sony's Sony Entertainment has integrated Colombian films and has made achievements in the film and entertainment industry. In order to make achievements, it has acquired films everywhere and integrated small film and television studios and individuals. They are burdened with tens of billions of dollars in debt.

The unhealthy finance department gave up President Izumi, who felt that he was a puppet, and he was only in three ways. He endured the suppression of Oga Nobuo twice and would never allow the third time!

So after the 1997 Academy Awards, Nobuyuki Irii extended an olive branch to British Jazz Howard Singer, recruited him to the Sony team and appointed him as the CEO of Sony's American branch.

Ken Kutaraki was shocked. He thought that after Oga Nobuo retired, he gave up Sony's position as President Nobuo to Izunoyuki for overall consideration. Ken Kutaraki was still young and could still wait for the position after Izunoyuki.

But now Nobuyuki Irii and Nobuyuki Oga completely broke up. Sir Howardskinger is the next successor of Nobuyuki Irii and is his confidant. So what is Ken Toraki?

Sony's intrigue makes Nintendo's bankruptcy even more confusing.

Logically speaking, Nintendo went bankrupt. Sony should be the first company to request the acquisition of Nintendo. With the support of the Japanese government and the support of Sony Group, a behemoth with a total assets of tens of billions of dollars, it should be more than enough to eat a bankrupt Nintendo.

.

Unfortunately, Ken Kutaraki spent all his energy on these infightings. Sony gave up on Nintendo. If they think about all this ten years later, they would definitely regret this infighting that had no meaning at all.

Abandoning Nintendo means that Sony's rise will be delayed to a lifetime.

In contrast, other competitors, on January 1, 1998, Bill Gates, president of Microsoft, arrived in Japan in person. Microsoft made huge acquisition promotions and fell from the sky as a savior.

Given the relationship between Japan and the United States, the Japanese's natural slavery towards the Americans made them welcome.

Meanwhile, other Microsoft competitors have also come from all over the world to try to get a share of the feast.

The good show is about to be staged. (To be continued...)
