Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 651

650
Human needs for entertainment are very diverse.

In ancient times, there were all kinds of tabletop games, as well as Cuju, dominoes, beast fighting, Go, pool and so on.

In modern times, there is entertainment experienced on the screen again.

Movies, entertainment, video games, handheld games, music, and more.

Video games are nothing more than a product that has just been born less than a hundred years ago and has only emerged for less than 20 years.

It's impossible for something like this to completely occupy everyone's time. Everyone has their own different ways of entertainment and needs.

And if a product with very rich functions and rich entertainment content is also a product that can be mastered in the palm of your hand, and can also take into account the needs of daily people for communication, the success of this product is almost inevitable.

Smartphones have become increasingly popular in this world.

Before Myron Case's Mickford Company announced their first smartphone, there were several relatively mature smartphone operating systems in the world.

It's just that everyone is like a blind man touching an elephant, and everyone is slowly groping.

But from Take Yusei's point of view, it will take time for smartphones to become mainstream.

This is not like a game console. It is already a top game product if it can sell [-] million units in a six or seven-year life cycle.

But smart phones, the amount digested every year in the whole world is more than one billion scale.

In the previous life, the annual sales of Apples reached [-] million units before Zhuyouxingxing.

This is a comparison of the amount of market demand, and the game industry seems to be only a small head after all.

So when Takeyusei saw Myron Keyes take out that slightly familiar but unfamiliar smartphone at the live broadcast press conference, he understood that the era of mobile has come.

Speaking of impact, the handheld market is definitely the most impacted, and it was almost wiped out by the mobile phone field.

If it weren't for Nintendo to turn the tide later and use countless top games to support the market, it is estimated that the handheld market in his world may directly and completely become a niche.

But most people in this parallel world don't seem to realize it yet.

Especially Suri Electronics.

They just paid a little attention to what was happening on Mickford's side, and found out that the other party was developing a mobile phone, so they didn't pay too much attention. Only their mobile phone department paid more attention.

At present, the key product line of Suri Electronics is not the field of mobile phones, but products such as cameras, game consoles and TVs.

It's just a mobile phone, and they don't think it will affect them.

At this moment, Suri Electronics is still increasing its investment in handhelds, and wants to seize more markets when Yuxing Electronic Entertainment does not pay enough attention to handhelds.

It's not that Zhu Yuxing doesn't care about the handheld market, it's just that he understands what he wants to do.

He wants to present the top games that he is familiar with first.

As for the handheld, the current technical strength is still not enough, and he also hopes that the technical ability of the handheld can be improved a little more.

So after he read about Myron Case's revolutionary new product release, he just smiled and devoted himself to the development of new games again.

At the press conference held by Myron Keith, his MK1 mobile phone became the focus of attention.

Because it looks very fashionable, and the sense of technology is still very strong.

The sound of all kinds of photos has been connected into a film, and countless reporters are a little excited at this moment.

For the time being, they don't quite understand how smart a smartphone is, because the previous smartphones were generally bad.

But they were conquered just because the phone could listen to music, watch videos, take pictures, videotape, communicate, and browse the web online, and it looked so smooth.

So on that day, all kinds of press releases were crazily output like dams, brand new products, and a brand new era.

However, many people are skeptical about the new product.

Because it doesn't look like a serious phone no matter what.

Because serious mobile phones generally have digital buttons.

Even if some strange manufacturers do not launch mobile phones with digital buttons, there will be some alternative alternatives, such as buttons in the form of joysticks, or complex combination buttons and so on.

But like Mickford, it looks very simple, and the number of buttons on the entire surface of the phone does not exceed five, which is really too few.

They really can't imagine how such a small number of buttons can be used as a mobile phone.

It is very suitable as a music player.

But this does not affect the North American development department of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

At this time point, the Titanfall project of the North American Development Department has entered a key node in the early stage.

The team has produced the demo demo, but there is not much achievement in art, action, etc.

Zhu Yuxing has returned to the branch in the United States, watching the development progress of this game at any time to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

As soon as he entered the company, Zhu Yuxing saw a frowning guy.

Zhu Yuxing knew him. He was the team's art designer. Around his office, there were all kinds of scraps of paper that were piled up, all of which were the scraps of the fallen Titans.

Since Zhu Yuxing proposed the basic concept of the game Titanfall, he has been thinking about how to create a Titan mech that looks powerful, and at the same time is very close to the real one.

In this regard, Zhu Youxing did not give a clear answer at the beginning, but just let them explore it by themselves.

So until now the designer has been stuck here and can't get out.

"Looks like you're having trouble with the design?"

Zhu Yuxing did not rush to test the demo after seeing it, but came to the designer's side and looked at the waste paper in his place.

The designer shook his head and said without looking up: "The problem is big, we have never tried this kind of near-future setting before, this is comparable to simply designing a sci-fi character design, or an ancient and modern character design. It is even more difficult, how to look real, and how to look sci-fi, this degree is really difficult to grasp, who came up with the idea?”

"It's the president of the company." Zhu Yuxing said with a smile.

"Ah, it's the God of Games, that's no wonder, it's just that the task assigned by the God of Games is really a bit difficult. I've been thinking about it, but for more than two months, I haven't been able to design a Titan mecha that I'm satisfied with. It's really hard."

The designer was complaining, and he didn't seem to realize at this moment that it was Take Yusei himself who appeared in front of him.
