Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 342 Unprepared

  Matsuhashi is not a person who is good at playing games.

   Usually she is almost filled with work and is a well-known strong woman in the industry.

   In some places, she is even harder than men, and it is because of this that she can always be respected by her peers in the game industry.

   Aiden doesn't like the technical leader like Takeyouxing very much, but he appreciates it very much. He often finds opportunities to contact Songqiao to promise super high returns and shares, hoping that the other party can come to Suri Electronics.

  If you have such a powerful thug under him, Surui Electronics will definitely develop faster.

  It's a pity that Matsuhashi didn't respond to him at all.

It's normal to think about it. She is the head of North America in Youxing Electronic Entertainment. When she comes to her side, she can only be inferior to others. In addition, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has high potential, and the money she makes is definitely not less than that of Suri Electronics. reason to come.

   However, even if Matsuhashi is not good at playing games, when she stood on the podium of the press conference, holding a brand new controller, she started to play very smoothly.

   The demo content this time is a tennis game.

   The game as a whole seems to be a bit of a leak.

   However, through the capture of the somatosensory camera, the controller remote control and the approximate position of the player can be accurately captured.

  People were a little surprised to see this new form of game expression.

   In the past, Youxing Electronic Entertainment only explained the general direction of the somatosensory game.

   But when there is no real machine demo out, everyone doesn't know what a real somatosensory game should look like.

   But now they know.

  Through the somatosensory camera and special remote control, players can already use the game to move, just like playing tennis at home.

   In addition to tennis, there are somatosensory games such as golf and baseball.

   It seems that sports games have opened up a whole new world because of the sense of movement.

   The reporters in the audience were naturally very happy.

  Because this is a brand new technology, their news task today can be considered complete.

   And some of the colleagues who came over, they quickly conceived ideas about somatosensory in their brains.

   Several companies with game consoles, such as Hongguo, Lierda, and Surui Electronics, are all studying the feasibility of somatosensory games.

   "Luke, can this somatosensory game be implemented on our game console?"

   A manager of Hongguo Company immediately asked an engineer who came with him.

   They also have their own promotional products today, but after hearing about the news from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they immediately brought an engineer over to inquire about the information.

   After seeing the actual play scene of the somatosensory game, almost no one will doubt the fun of this thing.

  Sports and adventures may be some innate human instinct.

   Video games became popular because of the fascinating adventures in them.

  Whether it's a hero, a soldier, or a plumber saving a princess, it's a form of adventure.

   This fully unearths the adventure gene in human instinct.

  Only satisfying people's need for adventure, video games are already successful products.

   And now, this product has a new development direction, somatosensory games.

Regarding the query from his company's boss, Luke used his engineer's knowledge to think quickly for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "It can be achieved, but the cost will be very high. If it is me, I will consider creating another one directly. A new console, rather than adding this feature to an existing console."

   The boss didn't understand the technical thing, but Luke as an engineer said so, which means that adding this function to the current game console is almost impossible.

   His face was somewhat unsightly.

  The game console developed by their Hongguo Company has been sold for more than a year.

   But more than a year is simply not enough time to pay off.

   Now let him talk to the top management about developing a new game console, isn't that waiting to be scolded severely?

   Obviously, they will miss this rare opportunity.

   But he said a little unwillingly: "What if we force the somatosensory function on our current game console?"

Luke said: "Then we have to create a new peripheral core hardware, and also adapt and adjust to the current game console chips, so there may be unpredictable loopholes. In this case of constant exploration, We may spend a lot more time than we think, and it's not necessarily more cost-effective than developing a new console."

  Luke has said it quite bluntly, but if the boss really wants to do it, he will do it, it's not his fault anyway.

   So far, their pure technical engineer has not been paid much attention. In fact, he has no sense of belonging to Hongguo Company for a long time.

   He still misses the time when Myron Keyes was still there.

   At that time, Myron Keyes would at least respect their technical talents. Even if the salary was not high at the time, it still made them willing to work part-time.

   But when the new leadership comes, their good days are over.

  The company has turned to commercial marketing in an all-round way, and it can save money on the product itself.

   These engineers have been complaining for a long time, but it has almost no effect.

   Now he is lying flat. Whatever his boss does, he will just take the money and do things obediently.

   Except for the Hongguo Company, Lierda is almost the same.

   However, Lierda's own new machine has been sold for two or three years. It is almost the time to develop a new game machine, but it is just right to add the somatosensory function at this time.

   But if you really want to mass-produce somatosensory products, I'm afraid it will take another year or two.

   In comparison, Surui Electronics has the most advantage.

  Suri Electronics has always had an advantage in the development of this new technology. In addition, their PN2 game consoles have been sold for several years, and they are also in the replacement period.

   If you speed up a little bit, you may even catch up with the pace of Ustar Electronic Entertainment, and you won’t be thrown too far.

   Hayakawa Ukito decided to invest new funds in somatosensory research and development almost without hesitation.

  As Suri Electronics gradually gained a certain audience in the game market, the restrictions he is currently receiving at the company headquarters have gradually decreased, the disposable funds are gradually increasing, and the right to speak is heavier.

  The demo is over, and a somatosensory experience area has been set up on the trial site, waiting for players to experience the new somatosensory form.

   At the same time, in addition to the new somatosensory technology, there is another thing that attracts much attention in the game experience area, and that is the follow-up demo content of the new Final Fantasy 7.
