Huck Brown announced very high-profile that he has recruited more than 300 game developers, and he also promised to give game developers the greatest freedom and capital investment. They will consider changing from focusing on the physical industry to focusing on the game software itself .

And the first field they intend to enter is the personal PC computer game industry.

Before the release of GS1, Huck Brown's new company released their first game on the PC side.

This is a very popular first-person shooter game on the PC side, and it is also based on a realistic World War II story game. The game tells the Normandy landing in the United States.

This story can be said to be familiar in the history of World War II, whether it is film and television, or novels, too many people have told it.

Especially in this world where the cultural industry is very strong, there are more such cultural works.

And the game industry has been barely involved in this story.

Huck Brown accurately grasped this point, and at the same time, under the joint suggestion of the developers, 300 employees went through half a year of crazy development. For this reason, Huck Brown also bought the most expensive The popular Unreal Engine was licensed for ten years for development.

In this way, more than 300 people, coupled with the most powerful game engine in the world, developed such a realistic first-person shooter game in half a year.

This has a huge impact on players.

Especially players in Europe and the United States, they feel the most empathy for this period of history.

During this period of history, they can experience the heroic deeds of their ancestors, which can give them a sense of identity.

The perspective of the first-person shooter game is also just right for players to experience the war story in person, so it has a catalytic effect, which immediately detonated the US market.

Just the first week of PC sales reached 200,000.

Thanks to the openness of PC, the cost of physical production has been greatly reduced. It only needs to copy a DVD disc through the disc factory to sell it, and the most important thing is that it does not need to pay any manufacturer the so-called game development royalties. .

Except for the cost of pressing the plate, all other income is Huck Brown's.

Then, he proudly distributed all the money to more than 300 subordinates, and promised them that he would not take any money from the game within half a year, except for necessary expenses, and distributed it all to his employees.

This is simply a rebellious move in the U.S. market, and almost no one in other U.S. companies would do this.

But because of this, Huck Brown immediately gathered his appeal in the United States.

Then, in the next few weeks, the sales volume of this game remained at 200,000 per week. A month later, he announced with a high profile that he would enter other regional markets, especially high-consumption regions such as Europe.

In this way, Huck Brown's new company began to gain a foothold in the personal PC market, and it also has an ambition to expand the world.

As for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment at this time, it continued to do its own promotional work step by step, and it seemed that it didn't have any reaction to Huck Brown's rise.

At least in the short term, Hack Brown can't pose any threat to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The opponent's focus is on the PC market, which is just a secondary pursuit of Zhuyouxing, and now the focus is still on game consoles.

Unless Huck Brown wants to make a new game console sometime, Zhuyouxing won't bother.

And it's hard to say that such a simple game developer will log the game on the machine of Youxing Electronic Entertainment sooner or later. After all, one more channel can make more money.

In the process of Zhuyouxing concentrating on developing Final Fantasy 7, the announcement of GS1 has never stopped.

At the beginning, GS1 only focused on promoting the performance of the console, as well as the picture effect of playing games.

Just these two promotions can already attract many players.

Immediately afterwards, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment gradually announced other exclusive features of GS1, further widening the gap with other enterprise game consoles.

First of all, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment focused on promoting the GS1 gamepad for the whole month of February.

This time the gamepad has dual joysticks and four shoulder buttons, and through the combined operation of the dual joysticks and shoulder buttons, the dimension of the player's control of the character is greatly increased.

Only then did other game console companies realize that in addition to game content, innovations on game consoles can also bring new breakthroughs to games.

The gyroscope that came with the previous GBA cassette was one of the inspirations.

This time the dual joysticks gave new inspiration to game development.

Many game developers who saw the dual joystick for the first time all had their eyes brightened, and they imagined many ideas for game development in an instant.

Then in March, Youxing Electronic Entertainment focused its publicity on the CDs of the game consoles.

Because of this change of carrier, the production cost of the game carrier can be reduced by at least half, which is a good thing for those small and medium-sized game developers, and this time the disc production is no longer restricted by Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Decentralize the power of production and encourage other manufacturers to go to other optical disc factories to produce games with only the authorization code.

As the game industry enters a new era, the factories of Youxing Electronic Entertainment have gradually been unable to meet the mass production of massive game entities.

It is not easy for Youxing Electronic Entertainment to contact various factories as middlemen. If you have the time to study more about the development of game consoles and game development, it will be more efficient.

Moreover, the disc itself has no technical content. It only needs to cooperate with a few disc production factories, and other game developers can directly find these factories to make discs.

This measure was welcomed by many developers, and it saved them another sum of money. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, so they are more active in developing games on the GS1 game console.

In addition to reducing the cost of game production, this optical disc drive can also allow users to play DVDs and VCDs, and you can even use it as an audio-visual entertainment product.

This also virtually gave some players an excuse to buy this thing.

Mom and Dad, I heard you want to buy a device that can play CDs? It just so happens that I have a brand that especially recommends this product, which is very good.

Mom and Dad, please believe my vision, I can swear to you that it is absolutely worth the money.

No no no, I am not for myself, I am for the whole family, GS1 is definitely the best choice for parents.
