Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 651

  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.

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

  The video game is just a product that has just been born for less than a hundred years and has only emerged less than twenty years ago.

It is impossible for something like    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 everyday people for communication, the success of this product is almost inevitable.

  Smartphones have gradually become 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 the perspective of Take Yusei, it will take time for smartphones to become the mainstream of people.

   This is not like a game console. It is already a top game product if it can sell 100 million units in a six or seven-year life cycle.

   But smartphones, the amount that the entire world digests every year is more than one billion scale.

   The Apples in the previous life achieved an annual sales volume of 200 million units before Zhuyou Xingchuan.

   This is a comparison of the amount of market demand. 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.

  In terms 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 Surui Electronics.

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

   The current key product line of Surui Electronics is not the field of mobile phones, but products such as cameras, game consoles and TV sets.

   is just a mobile phone, 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 Youxing 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 wanted to present the top games he was 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 reading about the release of Myron Keys's revolutionary new product, he just smiled and threw himself into new game development again.

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

  Because it looks very fashionable and has a strong sense of technology.

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

   They don’t quite understand how smart a smartphone is for the time being, 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 very 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 new products.

   Because this 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 methods, 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 little.

   They really can't imagine how so few buttons can be used as a mobile phone.

   is quite suitable as a music player.

   But this does not affect the North American Development Department of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

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

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

   Take 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 guy with a frown.

   Take Yuxing knows him. He is the team's art designer. Around his office are piled up all kinds of scrap paper, all of which are 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 close to the real one.

   In this regard, Zhu Yuxing did not give a clear answer at first, but just let them explore it for themselves.

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

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

   Zhu Yuxing didn't 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." Take 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, he didn't seem to realize at this moment that it was Take Yusei himself who appeared in front of him.
