Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 422 Arcade Game Manufacturers Are Shocked and Sad

"Character images, dubbing... are all professional."

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw the explosive opening of the promotional video, but they were not surprised.

After all, it is a super masterpiece with a development fund of nearly [-] million yuan, so it is normal to have a gorgeous promotional video.

As for the series of characters that appear here, I can only praise them. Both men and women are the type that people can remember at a glance. They have different styles, but they are very good.

Immediately afterwards, it was a real machine demonstration——

When the fighting scene came out, Liu Hongwei and others were shocked.

The picture quality, special effects, and sense of impact are completely rubbing the traditional 16-bit fighting games on the market.

Even "Street Fighter", which claims to be the best at fighting, is not at the same level as this "King of Fighters".

It's right to think about it, after all, the former's development funds are only tens of millions, while the latter's development funds have more than quadrupled.

The hardware carried by the two is also completely different, which is a better effect brought about by technological progress.

"The King of Fighters has a total of 36 characters, and each character exists independently."

Xia Yu introduced from the side: "They have their own stories and histories, as well as different cultural heritage and martial arts heritage. When developing, we integrated the appearance animations, voices, opening remarks, moves, skills, and attribute genes of these characters. …Adjustments have been made separately to allow these characters to have more gameplay while maintaining a balance as much as possible… Specifically, everyone is welcome to experience it on the real machine.”

This is to deliberately show their muscles, and it is not enough to just show them a promotional video.

No matter how good the promotional video is, it is not as shocking as the real machine experience.

……

Everyone went to experience the real machine with a state of surprise and uncertainty, and then...

"How is this possible? Fighting games can do this?"

"Isn't this too flexible and smooth? Compared with "The King of Fighters", those fighting games on the market simply have mobility barriers..."

"I just watched a character's backstory, and while manipulating him, hearing that opening line, it felt real."

"Can a 32-bit arcade machine be able to do this? It's also 32-bit, so computers can't do it at all."

"It should be the latest technology, right? It's unimaginable that [Thunder Group]'s technology has accumulated to this extent."

"The top-end computers of overseas scientific research companies are not up to this standard at present, and it is a waste to use them as game consoles."

"It should be because the cost is too high... Arcade machines don't care about the cost. As long as the effect is good, it is easy to pay back the cost, but the computer is different."

"Have you noticed? This new arcade machine is completely upgraded. It has a larger and more delicate screen display, better sound quality and performance, and I am afraid that even the storage limit has increased a lot... If we can also make one like this game……"

"Hehe, I think too much."

"The "King of Fighters" project brought together the elites of the entire industry and cost a total of [-] million yuan. It can be regarded as a new milestone in the history of the game. Even the four major manufacturers do not have the courage and ability. Let's just think about it in a dream. gone."

"As soon as "King of Fighters" comes out, it is estimated that all fighting games on the market will be cold."

"I guess the makers of those top games are going to cry, when they come across such an epic masterpiece, hehe..."

……

Many bosses who are developing fighting games, or have popular fighting games, have become a little ugly.

Although their games use extremely high technology and are full of selling points, but in front of "The King of Fighters", they are completely suppressed and beaten, and they have no power to fight back.

Encountering such a monster is simply bad luck.

But they can't say anything, this is a first-party masterpiece, and it's not their turn to point out.

""The King of Fighters" has almost no shortcomings, and it perfectly meets the needs of the market...Why is this happening?"

Liu Hongwei's face was quite heavy.

He has to admit that when he came into contact with this game, he was also shocked by its rich content, picture quality, and special effects.

If he is a simple player, he may be quite excited, because this is the game he most desires and meets expectations.

But the problem is-

He is a game manufacturer, and among the four top manufacturers, fighting arcade games are the best seller, accounting for almost 70% of the company's revenue.

As soon as "King of Fighters" comes out, most of their company's fighting games are going to be cold.

That was a loss of tens of millions.

Thinking of this, Liu Hongwei's heart was bleeding, and he wanted to resist, but he was very powerless.

[Thunder Game Company] has completely monopolized the three platforms, arcade, console, and handheld, and is the only undisputed overlord of the entire game industry.

Although there is still [Dragon Scale Game Company], which is in the console business, and it is doing well this year relying on [Dragon Scale 2], but...

Liu Hongwei doesn't have any profitable console games at all.

Tian Moyun's "King of Fighters" directly and completely damaged manufacturers like "Blazing Games".

They rely too much on arcade platforms, leading to the abandonment of console game development, and even many companies have cut off console projects.

……

"President Chen, what do you think?"

Bai Wenshu asked casually while playing the game.

She didn't have Liu Hongwei's bad feeling, she just thought it was fun.

After all... [Baiyun Game Company]'s arcade games are already selling very well, and they don't even want to make them. The focus is on the console platform.

Whether "The King of Fighters" will form a "dominant" effect has no effect on her at all.

Anyway, the arcade games under its umbrella are so outrageous, even if it is affected, it is nothing more than the difference between cool and cooler, and it doesn't matter.

On the other hand, Chen Guohua's [Koling Game Company] seems to have several arcade games that sell well.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything, at most I was shocked by the performance."

Chen Guohua said casually: "The games we play in the arcade market are basically level-breaking and shooting games. Although "The King of Fighters" is very shocking, we should not be affected too much. It will lose about 5% at most."

"[Zhaoyang Games] mainly focuses on light, casual and interesting console and handheld games, and basically does not set foot in the arcade field. Their biggest competitor is [Happy Game Company], and "King of Fighters" also has no influence on them."

"Only Liu Hongwei... tsk tsk tsk, [Blazing Game] relies too much on arcade machines, and its three best-selling fighting games, I'm afraid it's going to be bad luck."

"But compared to these, what I am most concerned about is the deep meaning of this press conference. I'm afraid it's... the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

The drunkard's intention is not the wine?
Hearing this, Bai Wenshu's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"

"Well, why did Xia Yu suddenly hold a press conference? Is it really just to show off the new game? I'm afraid it may not be possible."

Chen Guohua said softly: "Maybe it's the big boss behind the scenes who has some thoughts... This move is just to show off our muscles, reminding us who is the boss. "The King of Fighters" is an arcade masterpiece, and it made a high-profile debut...I'm afraid there will be some changes in the arcade market. , and it is very unfavorable to us head manufacturers, today... interesting."

Bai Wenshu was thoughtful.

She doesn't care about any changes in the arcade market, but she is afraid that there will be changes on the console, handheld, and even the computer, and that would be terrible.

"Shouldn't it be like the Big Three back then?"

Bai Wenshu asked.

"That's not true, the big boss is not so stupid."

Chen Guohua shook his head resolutely: "[Thunder Group] is a scientific research enterprise, and all its industries are providing continuous funds for scientific research, and they pay attention to the steady flow of water. Back then, the three giants were listed companies, and they were influenced by foreign capital. It's normal to choose to exhaust the water and fish...the two are different."

"Then it doesn't matter."

Bai Wenshu shrugged: "Do you want to have a PK game? To be honest, Kusanagi is so handsome..."

Chen Guohua: "???"
