MTL - Tokyo Video Game Tycoon-Chapter 879 Myron Keyes' Last Stand
Chapter 879 Myron Keith's final struggle
879
Sometimes, all it takes is one game to spark the enthusiasm of players.
At the scene, the area selling game-related peripherals and game products was suddenly full at night.
Thanks to the release of Final Fantasy 7 remake, all the peripherals of Final Fantasy 7 in Carnival’s official store were sold out in just ten minutes.
It seems that players can't buy the game, but instead start planning to retaliate and spend on these peripheral products.
Even a Tifa mini doll keychain priced at 5,000 yen was snapped up by a bunch of people.
The production cost of this thing is only five or six hundred yen, which is like stealing money, but players are willing to buy these products.
Before this, a new concept film was released after the remake of Final Fantasy 7.
This concept film is really just a concept film, there is not even a title about this video.
And this concept film is the Cyberpunk 2077 of Zhuyouxing Vision Project.
This trailer is the first video preview of Cyberpunk 2077 that appeared in the original world.
The content of the preview is that a very beautiful woman stretches out two mantis knives from her arms. The mechanical prosthesis is displayed with very delicate CG special effects. At the same time, there is a scene of bullets scratching the woman's face and bursting out a burst of metal sparks.
The entire concept film does not have much information, and there is no game name, so many people just think it is a demonstration effect of Unreal Engine, so it only attracted some players' amazement at the exquisite CG picture, and the recognition of professionals .
This is also the effect that Zhu Youxing wants. First, I will roughly present the concept of this game. However, if I want to see the finished film of the game, I have to wait another two years. It is too early to announce what I want to do. The game also makes players wait a long time.
Zhu Youxing, who is also a player, certainly doesn't want other people to experience the same waiting suffering as himself.
This carnival is full of content in terms of press conferences.
From the beginning, a variety of Su Rui Electronics games were logged on the PC platform, and then to the remake of Final Fantasy 7 that appeared at the end.
These games are full of enthusiasm.
Myron Keys is very difficult to understand.
He has heard of the famous name of Final Fantasy 7.
But a game that has already been produced a long time ago is redeveloped with new game technology. Why can it get such attention again?
If this is put into the film and television industry, the behavior of frying cold rice will definitely be ridiculed by the audience for a while, even if it uses new technology.
Because more people still prefer classics.
But video games don't seem to be like that.
Players welcome this remade old game very much, and the older the player, the more excited they are to see this remade game, which is really hard to understand.
He can only annoy himself now why there are no similar classics.
If you have similar classic works, you can earn a lot of money after a wave of remakes after a few years.
And the remake of Final Fantasy 7 seems to have inspired Ueto Hayakawa, not long after he left, he immediately asked the current first-party game team to start studying the feasibility of remaking old games.
The first is the remake of the old Sun Knight.
Would it be possible to get the same amount of attention if such a remake of your own classic works also comes?
According to the estimation of the professional team, even if it cannot get the same attention as Final Fantasy 7 Remake, it can at least win the welcome of players.
Because many old players still hope to use new game technology to experience old games, so that players can experience the feeling of the era again and again, and still use the same game for comparison, there will be a sense of accomplishment of leaping forward.
After reaching such a conclusion, Ueto Hayakawa immediately arranged for a team to start remaking his old game.
This opportunity to make money cannot be missed.
As for Myron Keith, after the end of the Star Tour Carnival, he felt like he was facing a big enemy, and arranged for his own team to start developing even more top-notch games.
Let’s not talk about anything else, first create a top-level work with a research and development cost of at least 100 million U.S. dollars.
He really saw the power of IP at the Star Game Carnival, which made him want to create the same top-level IP works.
At least one work in the Sun Knight series will do.
At that time, Mickford’s team seemed to have temporarily given up research on hardware products, and instead concentrated on researching operating systems and video games, hoping to win the hearts of some players in this way.
Video game players are often the hippest group in the consumer electronics world, and it's crucial to win them over.
At the same time, Myron Keith also actively began to lobby more small and medium-sized game companies.
These game companies are usually not under the control of Youxing Electronic Entertainment or Surui Electronics. As long as they give enough money, it is possible to log their works on their own platforms.
In the middle of the year, Myron Case's team also launched a video game subscription business ingeniously.
This is their inspiration from facebook's video subscription service.
On the one hand, Mike Fu will subsidize those game companies that join the subscription service, and on the other hand, all the early income will be returned in proportion to the companies that join the subscription service.
As long as the money is enough, it is always possible to seize some markets.
And in the United States, Myron Keyes has an advantage in doing so.
If Youxing Electronic Entertainment does this, it will be censored by the U.S. Congress in the name of dumping, making them run into walls everywhere.
But Mickford is a local company in the United States, and it is too late for the support of the US Congress. Unless they really occupy a monopoly position, they will only turn a blind eye to Mickford's low-price dumping strategy.
Seeing Mi Kefu's subscription service surprised Zhu Youxing.
Unexpectedly, Mickford took this step first.
Originally, he also planned to launch his own subscription service after his membership service was stable enough.
It will be a matter of time before video games start subscription-based services, but Mi Kefu may have come to a fairly good game development path by mistake to deal with the pincer attack of Su Rui Electronics and Youxing Electronics Entertainment.
However, for now, the impact will not be too great, because more players still subconsciously think that excellent games should be purchased, and it has not yet reached the point where good games can be played almost for free.
While Mike Fu was tossing, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was only patiently developing the game, and did not do anything extra. It seemed that everything was waiting for the release of several major games.
Of course, during this process, Youxing Electronic Entertainment will still announce a few games that are not important, but also have a certain meaning.
"Zhuyou, this is the new game you want to make? Why would you want to make this kind of game? I really didn't expect you to be such a person."
On this day, Hayazawa Airi came to Takeyusei's office with a blushing face and took a document, and then patted the document on the desk.
At this time, Takeyusei was concentrating on the development and supervision of the remake of Final Fantasy 7. He glanced at the document that Hayazawa Airi took on the table, and he just said indifferently: "What's the matter, the game is to make people happy , the development of such a game is also in line with the requirements of the players."
"Why would a player make such a request." Airi Hayazawa said a little angrily.
On the cover of that document, there is a game name: "Dead or Alive, Beach Volleyball"
