Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 242 Best Game (910)

  1995 was a magical year.

   Video games are on the rise.

  The United States, Japan, and even other countries that have not officially released video games already have a certain scale of industry.

  Some game production teams from countries around the world also seem to be quietly appearing.

  Murakami, who witnessed the rise of video games with his own eyes, and was a close witness, he felt a lot.

   In this online award, he was very attentive. Even if it could only be held online this time, he started preparations about a month ago.

   First, open a player voting channel.

   Then, I will contact a few independent game reviewers who are already well-known on the website individually, and a few people will get together to discuss this year's annual game review.

   When they learned that Yinan Game.com was founded by a child who was still in high school, they were really shocked for a while.

   However, Murakami is also very humble, and has always said that he is just a person standing in front of the stage, and he has a teacher behind the scenes who has been teaching him secretly.

The explanation of    also made these people relieved, they were really a little afraid of Murakami's potential.

   At such a young age, he already has a website with such a huge user scale. This future is really limitless.

   But sigh, their focus is still on game selection.

   Then after a month of selection and player voting, on December 29th after Christmas, on the eve of the New Year, the online selection was finally announced.

   Game of the Year: Street Fighter.

   This is a completely new genre.

   And whether in Japan or the United States, this is the most talked about and most popular game this year.

   No matter what, this game deserves its name.

   This is hardly anyone's opinion.

   Then the best action game, also given to Street Fighter.

  Best sound effects, also Street Fighter.

   and several of the best ones, big and small, are all given to Street Fighter.

   And until the best game category, there are some differences in the selection of games.

   Best sports game given to street basketball.

   The best racing game was given to Suri Electronics' 3D racing car.

   Originally Need for Speed ​​was great too.

   But because 3D racing is epoch-making, and its game quality is not much worse than Need for Speed, after careful consideration by Murakami and the others, 3D racing is still given.

   In fact, there is another reason, that is, except for 3D racing, all the other best games selected by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment have dominated the list.

   This is really nothing.

   In fact, they really want to diversify a little more and give other game companies a selection.

   It’s just that the game quality of Naihe Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is too terrifying, and it is not a dimension at all.

   Like what the best story game gave to Final Fantasy 5, and the best RPG was Dragon Quest 4.

   In the end, there was really no way, Murakami and the others discussed it and came up with several awards such as the most promising emerging game companies.

   In this way, it can avoid being dominated by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   After all, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is no longer an emerging company, but a giant in the game industry. Of course, it is impossible to compete for such an award.

   It's just that the most promising emerging game company itself is still the company that exclusively produces games on SFC, and it is still inseparable from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   The so-called selection of the best games is sometimes similar to the awards in other industries.

   In the case of equal strength, be as fair as possible.

  You take it this year, I will take it next year, which is the so-called pork.

   It’s just that the current video game industry is somewhat extreme.

  The top game is really desperate, and there is no sign of surpassing it yet.

   For players, in fact, this kind of award does not consider fairness. They just want to see if the best game in their minds wins the award.

   And this is the first game selection, at least not too many interest factors have been mixed, even if it takes into account equality, more than 90% of the awards are given to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Of course, the players are very happy about this. They are glad that they did not choose the wrong game platform. Sure enough, all the games developed by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment are the best.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the master of the world.

   As for the game selection, Zhu Yuxing didn't pay much attention to it. At most, he just looked at the list a little after the awards were over.

   In fact, he is basically a little bit at the bottom of the selection of the best games.

   So far, no one can compete with him, that is, Suri Electronics' 3D racing car can be regarded as breaking through the barriers of Yuxing Electronics Entertainment and won an award.

   This also proves that Suri Electronics has really worked hard enough, and they are also worthy of Zhu Yuxing's extra serious treatment.

   This is really a strong opponent in the future, and must not be taken lightly.

  After the awards, 1995 passed quietly, and the time came to 1996.

   As soon as the year started, the video game industry immediately expanded rapidly again.

  In the United States, three more companies chose to transform and develop video game consoles, apparently also wanting to get a share of this industry.

   Because according to the speculation of Wall Street professionals, in 1996, the number of gamers in the United States may grow to tens of millions.

   Few companies can ignore users of this size.

   So they threw themselves into the production of video games.

   In addition to the development of game consoles, there are several companies that focus on the development of online games on the PC side.

  Because there was a company that made a lot of money before making a game called Dragon Treasure Game.

  Other companies suddenly realized that making games does not necessarily have to go to game consoles.

   Can you think of a personal computer as a large game console?

   And PC game development does not require any licensing fees, and even the cost of disc production can be saved.

  Because the game can be downloaded and played through the Internet.

   And more importantly, the game can be played online.

   This greatly increases the social nature of the game.

  The Dragon Treasure was just launched in the United States, and it was immediately welcomed by many people.

   Youxing Electronic Entertainment has developed more game-loving players.

   And the Dragon Treasure is equivalent to opening up more PC network users and players.

This has also made the development company of Dragon Treasure an instant darling of capital, and its valuation has skyrocketed in a short period of time. In less than half a year, their valuation in the United States has now reached 500 million US dollars, which is very terrifying. .
