   Chapter 327 Your Best Choice

Huck Brown announced with a 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 switching from focusing on the physical industry to focusing on the game software itself. .

   And the first area they intend to enter is the PC game industry.

   Hack Brown's new company released their first game on PC before the GS1 release.

   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 login in the United States.

  This story can be said to be familiar to everyone in the history of World War II, and it has been told by too many people in movies and novels.

   Especially since this world is a world with a very strong cultural industry, there are more such cultural works.

   And the game industry has hardly been involved in this story for a long time.

Huck Brown accurately grasped this point, and at the same time, under the common suggestion of the developers, 300 employees went through half a year of crazy development. For this reason, Huck Brown also relied on the money from selling some stocks to buy the current most popular. The popular Unreal Engine was licensed for ten years for development.

  In this way, more than 300 people, coupled with the strongest game engine in the world, developed such a close-to-reality first-person shooter game in half a year.

   This has a great impact on players.

  Especially the players in Europe and America, they feel the most empathy for this history.

  In this history, they can experience the heroic deeds of their ancestors and give them a sense of identity.

  The perspective of the first-person shooter game is just right for players to experience the war story, so it has a catalyst-like effect, and it suddenly detonated the US market.

   PC sales reached 200,000 in just the first week.

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

   In addition to the cost of pressing the plate, other income is Huck Brown.

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

   This is simply a rebellious move in the US market, and almost no other US companies will do this.

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

   Then, in the following weeks, the sales of the game remained at 200,000 per week, and a month later, he announced that he would enter other regional markets, especially high-consumption regions such as Europe.

   And just like that, Huck Brown's new company is starting to gain a foothold in the personal PC market, and has an ambition to expand around the world.

   As for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment at this time, it continued to do its own publicity work step by step, and it seemed that there was no reaction to the rise of Huck Brown.

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

   The other party's focus is on the PC market, which is only the secondary pursuit of Zhu Yuxing, and now the focus is still on the game console.

   Unless Huck Brown is going to remake the console again, Take Yusei will ignore it.

   And it’s hard to say that such a simple game developer will log the game on Yuxing Electronic Entertainment’s machine sooner or later. After all, one more channel can make more money, and the two parties are not competitive in a short time at least.

   In the process of Take Yusei's concentration on the development of Final Fantasy 7, the announcement of GS1 has never stopped.

  In the beginning, GS1 only focused on promoting the performance of the host and the visual effects of playing games.

   Just these two promotions can already attract a lot of players.

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

   First of all, Youxing 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 cooperation 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 GBA cassette before was one of the inspirations.

   The dual joysticks this time have given new inspiration to game development.

   Many game developers who saw the dual joystick for the first time were all bright, and they imagined many game development ideas in an instant.

   Then in March, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment focused its promotion on the discs of game consoles.

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

  As the game industry has entered a new era, the factory of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has gradually been unable to meet the mass production of massive game entities.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not an easy job to contact various factories to be a middleman. It is more efficient to study more about the development of game consoles and game development.

   And the disc itself has no technical content. As long as it cooperates with several disc production factories, other game developers can directly find these factories to make discs.

  This move has been welcomed by many developers, which is equivalent to saving them another sum of money. Even if the mosquito is small, it is meat, and they will be more active in developing games on the GS1 game console.

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

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

   Mom and Dad, I heard you want to buy a device that can play CDs? That just happens to be that I have a brand that recommends that this product is particularly good.

   Mom and Dad, please trust 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 you parents.
