Reborn Resource Tycoon

In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan still liked games quite a bit. As a semi-nerd, he has played a lot of console games, handheld games, online games, and mobile games. He still has some impressions of the launch time of several major game consoles.

If Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console can be launched in the beginning of 2 under normal circumstances, then there is plenty of time left for Sega Co., Ltd.Although Sony and Microsoft are both developing new game consoles, Sony has just launched a new ps[-] console, and it is impossible to launch a new console in a short period of time, otherwise, to a large extent, it will be a battle between itself and itself .

Moreover, although the number of sales of ps2 consoles has been caught up by "Aquarius", due to the huge influence of ps, Fang Mingyuan believes that its vitality should still have a long time. The ps2 mainframe has also achieved profitability now, but the time is much slower than that of "Aquarius". To launch the new mainframe ahead of time, for Sony, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.Unless Sony intends to forcibly seize the market share of Sega Co., Ltd. by relying on its strong funds, just like Microsoft used to accelerate the upgrading of consoles to seize Sony's market share in the previous life.However, although Sega Corporation's assets today are hard to compare with Sony and Microsoft, but if it really wants to fight a capital war, it has nothing to be afraid of with the backing of Fangjia Capital.As long as you think about the income of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company in recent years, no one would think that the Fang family's current funds will be stretched.

As for Microsoft, Fang Mingyuan was a little uncertain. Bill attached great importance to the xbox, and since the release of the xbox, as a fledgling rookie, its achievements must not be said to be bad, but it has not been able to shake Sega Corporation, Nintendo and Sony. Position in the home game console industry.Will the rich and powerful Microsoft repeat the old tricks and launch a new generation of hosts as soon as possible?

Although he is an important shareholder of Microsoft.However, Fang Mingyuan's influence in Microsoft is only limited to the circle of important shareholders and management personnel. Xbox makes Microsoft and Sega Corporation a competitor. He naturally wants to avoid suspicion, but this does not mean that Fang Mingyuan He couldn't get some information from other channels, so he can be sure that Microsoft's new console will not be launched at least in the first half of [-].

That's not just because Microsoft hasn't made much publicity yet, but because neither gamestation nor Square has received requests from Microsoft to develop games for new consoles.Fang Mingyuan didn't think that Bill would give up the works of Gamestation and Square for the sake of secrecy.What a game host.If there is no game, then it is an expensive brick!Whichever game console has more good games will sell more games. This is a truth that has been verified for many years.

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan decided not to rush to launch the new console of Sega Co., Ltd. on the one hand to further improve the new console, and on the other hand to leave enough time for Deguang Electronics Group to adjust production.

Yu Tianzhong was not surprised by Fang Mingyuan's request, one of the four major game machine manufacturers.From the perspective of the game field alone, Sega Corporation's main situation can be said to be the best, so if it is not necessary.Maintaining the status quo is also a good choice for Sega Corporation.And the near finalization of the new console is another card for Sega Co., Ltd.!
"How is the launch of the supporting game for the new console going?" Fang Mingyuan turned his head and asked Utada Masamitsu again.He has enough confidence in the performance of the new console, but no matter how good the console is, it must have enough game packages to fully exert its performance.The new type of console failed due to too few supporting games.There are too many precedents in previous lives.Therefore, from the very beginning, Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console must be able to run the "Aquarius" console game, and when it is released, there must be no less than four to five games on the market at the same time. Gamestation and Square Co., Ltd., as companies with the same big boss as Sega Co., Ltd., are naturally obliged to develop the first game for the new console.Moreover, the development tools of Sega Corporation's new game have also been handed over to the two companies in the first place.

"3% of the progress of "Resident Evil 80.00" has been completed, and 70.00% of the progress of "The Great Voyage V" has been completed. Fourth, if President Uda and the others release a new console in the second half of 2, I think it will be completely No problem. There are two racing and shooting games, there should be no problem. Square Co., Ltd., the progress of "Kingdom Heart 7" is more than halfway, and there are "Final Fantasy 8" and "Final Fantasy [-]" should be completed before the summer of [-]..." Masaki Utada said.For the new console of Sega Co., Ltd., the two companies have also been preparing for a long time. A total of eleven games of various types are under production.Including the games prepared by Sega Co., Ltd., the total number reached seventeen.

Fang Mingyuan nodded. He had played both "Final Fantasy 7" and "Final Fantasy 8" in his previous life. Later, he always wondered why Square Co., Ltd. didn't copy these two games. There is no need to make major changes, as long as the exquisiteness of these two games can reach the level of "Final Fantasy 10", there will definitely be a large number of old players willing to revisit the classics.In fact, he himself wanted to revisit these two games many times, but he had to give up because he could not adapt to the already "rough" pictures.

In this life, after he took over Square Co., Ltd., he quickly proposed this plan, although many people on the board of directors held a negative attitude, thinking that doing so would be thankless.The company has to invest a huge amount of money to improve the graphics of the two games to a level not lower than that of "Final Fantasy 10". This will cause a problem. When the tour is released, the price is high, and players may blame it. For the behavior of misappropriating money, if the price is low, it may not reach the expected profit level.

But these voices of opposition were deaf to Fang Mingyuan, and he forcibly suppressed them.In fact, when the news that Square Co., Ltd. was going to copy "Final Fantasy 7" and "Final Fantasy 8" spread, it aroused strong responses from players. For a while, the attention even surpassed that of Square Co., Ltd. "Final Fantasy 10-2" is being produced by the company!
And when Square Co., Ltd. started to copy "Final Fantasy 7" and "Final Fantasy 8", Sega Co., Ltd. delivered the new console development tools. On the new host!Thinking about replaying "Final Fantasy 3" and "Final Fantasy 7" on a console equivalent to the ps8 level, Fang Mingyuan also felt a little excitement in his heart.

In fact, Gamestation and Square Co., Ltd. still have several games in production, but due to various reasons, they are not suitable for the release of Sega Co., Ltd.'s new console. Otherwise, the supporting game team will be considerable when the new console is released.However... Considering that Sega Corporation will also cooperate with other game production companies, when the new console is released, there should be no less than [-] supporting games. This number can be said to be quite good.

Next, Utada Masamitsu talked with Fang Mingyuan about the authorization of film adaptation games. Many classic films in the hands of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group can actually be adapted into games, such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the upcoming "Harry Potter" and so on.

Fang Mingyuan also talked about his views on the future development of the game market, emphasizing once again that whether it is the gamestation company or Square Enix Corporation, it must pay attention to the development of online games, and also make reserves for the development of mobile games. There is a somatosensory game!

Somatosensory games have always existed in the arcade era. Games like "vr men" and "House of the Dead" need game light guns, and games that need to cooperate with the player's arm movements, as well as games like dance machines can be understood as The basis of somatosensory games.

Fang Mingyuan does not think that motion sensing games can replace gamepads in the future, and in this regard, Nintendo has an advantage. He only asks Gamestation and Square Co., Ltd. not to ignore this type of game, and not to miss it when there is a suitable theme. Don't be caught off guard when somatosensory devices and somatosensory games become an important part of home game consoles in the future.In contrast, he pays more attention to the development of mobile games and online games.

"Young Master Fang, congratulations to Blizzard's first online game "World of Warcraft", which has started its official public beta and has received an excellent response." Utada Masahiro said with a smile. Being the person in charge of Gamestation is no easy task. The Blizzard company can be said to be its biggest rival.Although it is said that most of Blizzard's works are suitable for computers and have not landed on home game consoles, Blizzard's performance has left the industry stunned - "StarCraft", "Warcraft", "Diablo" "God", as well as "Magic Gate" and "Half-Life", which were acquired by Blizzard, are well-known works in the industry.

The entry of "World of Warcraft" into the public beta undoubtedly marks another sharp weapon for Blizzard to attract money. (To be continued..)
