Chapter 425 329 It’s Terrible, Pokeni Is a Company
Looking at the figure walking slowly onto the stage, everyone couldn't help but feel confused.
"It's Qing Zhiyuan this time, right?"
"Yeah, it should be. I remember the media reported him, but I'm not sure."
Qing Zhiyuan mainly lives in Japan and rarely travels to Europe and the United States. There are not many images of him in Japan, let alone in Europe and the United States.
It's just that a group of photos were taken when he just arrived at the venue yesterday, so everyone has a little impression of him.
Everyone has some stereotypes about Orientals, but Qing Zhiyuan gives everyone a very comfortable feeling.
He has sword eyebrows and star eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and although he is already in his 30s, he looks very young.
Especially in the eyes of Westerners, some people believe that he is only 19 years old.
When Qing Zhiyuan came to Chicago before, the local high school students who played basketball thought he was a junior high school student.
His skin is really good, and his facial features are delicate. In the eyes of Westerners, Qing Zhiyuan's appearance is indeed too confusing.
There is no way, being handsome is like this.
Other things can be achieved through hard work, but the face is really a gift from God.
Sometimes Qing Zhiyuan even doubted whether he could have pursued Tsuda Nao without this face.
No, to be precise, Tsuda Nao was completely given to him for free.
God blesses me, I am so grateful for the arrangement of fate.
…
Qing Zhiyuan walked slowly to the center of the stage, took the microphone from the host, and raised his hand with a smile.
“Thank you Ms. Shimomura Yoko, thank you Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.”
Qing Zhiyuan spoke in English throughout the whole speech, so the audience below could understand it.
A translator was saved.
The key is that Qing Zhiyuan’s English level is good. In his previous life, he also graduated from a prestigious university and had no strange accent at all.
He smiled and said, "Ms. Shimomura Yoko, maybe not many people know her at the scene, but in the minds of Pokeni employees, she is indeed a well-deserved music master.
The soundtracks of games such as Pokémon, Diablo, and Demon Hunter were all completed by Ms. Shimomura Yoko."
Hearing this, the scene was in an uproar.
"Wow, I didn't expect it was her?"
Except for some of the audience who knew Shimomura Yoko, many people actually didn't know her.
But it doesn't matter if they don't know her, they just know Shimomura Yoko's music and the games made by Pokeni.
In the European and American regions, Shimomura Yoko's music works, or more precisely, Pokeni's games, have a certain status. At the same time, because the games are extremely well-known, and Shimomura's music is very international, players have deeply remembered her music.
But no one seemed to have expected that the composer was actually a girl.
"I always thought that someone who could make music as dark and gloomy as "The Witcher" and at the same time as majestic and epic should be someone like Hans Zimmer."
Hans Zimmer is also considered a music master in the United States. So far, he has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Score for his first film music score for "Rain Man". Later, he also composed the music for Disney's animated film "The Lion King" and won the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Score.
Now this guy has been hired by Steven Spielberg as the music director of DreamWorks Films, otherwise Qing Zhiyuan would like to dig him over.
However, in terms of game music, Yoko Shimomura is really a great god.
"It's really unexpected. It's impossible to associate such music with a lady."
"Yoko Shimomura is too strong, right? She should be considered a music master in the game industry, right? And she's a goddess."
"Such a woman is really rare. This is the first time I've seen a female composer who can do this."
...
Qing Zhiyuan pressed his hand with a smile, and the scene immediately became quiet.
"Music is a language without a country. Everyone can understand it, even if you don't understand music or Japanese. It doesn't matter.
When the music sounds, our joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all emotions will be mobilized."
Qing Zhiyuan paced back and forth on the stage, acting very calmly.
It was as if he was not in Atlanta at this time, but in Neon, Tokyo, and Pokeni, his home court.
"Correspondingly, games, the ultimate games, do not actually need such complex language expressions. Pictures, music, and gameplay can all become our tools of expression.
When playing games, everyone can experience the purest happiness."
"Pokemon is such a game."
When hearing about Pokémon, the whole audience was boiling.
This game has been through so many years of hard work and fermentation. It has become one of the most popular games not only in Japan, but also in Europe and the United States, and has also swept up a large number of fans.
To a certain extent, Qing Zhiyuan actually understands Yamauchi Hiroshi a little bit. Only by achieving pure game fun and making children happy, such games will be the most popular, most accepted and liked.
This is the case with the Super Mario series, Kirby, and Pokémon.
……
As soon as Qing Zhiyuan finished speaking, a projection of the new Pokémon game appeared on the big screen behind him.
However, unlike what everyone expected, there were no four little ones on the screen, but a single Pikachu.
On a sunny morning, Pikachu woke up from his dream and found himself in a strange world.
This world is full of wonderful creatures and mysterious landscapes, which makes Pikachu curious and excited.
It decided to embark on an adventure to explore this unknown world.
Pikachu first came to a dense forest.
Here, it met many strange elves, such as grass skirt snakes, unicorn rabbits, etc.
In the forest, Pikachu also learned some new skills, such as climbing and jumping, which made it more handy during the adventure.
After leaving the forest, Pikachu came to a vast desert.
In the desert, Pikachu encountered various difficulties and challenges, such as sandstorms and venomous snakes.
However, with courage and wisdom, Pikachu successfully overcame these difficulties and finally found the ancient city.
…
The video animation of the game shows part of it, including different terrains and natural landscapes, as well as the difficulties encountered by Pokémon in these places.
For example, you have to cross the fallen tree trunks in the middle of the road, then jump up the high hillside, climb the cliff...
Fight different enemies and monsters, collect props and other Pokémon, discover the truth of the world, etc.
The second half is a demonstration of the actual game.
However, Pokeni's games are now quite exquisite. Although the first part is an animation, it is also processed based on the game content.
It can be said that the actual experience is not much different from the part you see.
"Pokémon: Mysterious Adventure" is a single-player game.
Players can control Pikachu to fight throughout the whole process, can jump, run, and use skills.
At the same time, they can also replace it by constantly collecting other Pokémon.
But each time you can only operate one Pokémon as the main body.
How to choose different Pokémon and operations for different situations in the process of adventure to make the game smoother is a problem that players need to consider.
…
At the end of the film, Pikachu and his friends ran fast, defeated various enemies along the way, and then ran up the hillside full of poppies.
Finally, the Pokémon stood together on the top of the mountain, lined up, and looked into the distance.
The sky in the distance was blue, and below was a dense forest and a small town in it, everything indicated a good future.
【"Pokémon: The Mysterious Adventure" will meet you soon, so stay tuned. 】
"Wow, it's too cute, right?"
A burst of exclamations immediately sounded below.
"As expected, once Pokémon appears, I have no resistance at all. I really want to buy one now."
"I should be able to experience it at the exhibition later. I can't wait for the official exhibition."
"I wonder if there will be any peripheral gifts for Pokémon this time. I really want to get some back for my daughter to play with."
"I want to, too."
"Pokeni won't spend all the money on hiring a band. It would be a pity if there are no peripheral gifts at that time."
Giving away peripheral products at the electronics exhibition is also a trend brought about by the century war between Sega and Renten.
So now game exhibitions, supporting cosplayers, and giving away peripheral gifts have almost become standard.
This is the first time that Pokémon has come to the exhibition, and players are also very enthusiastic and looking forward to them.
Especially the Pokémon series, let alone other things, peripheral pillows, figures, cat bags... a lot of things are what players want, which are more attractive than the peripherals in other games.
Let's put it this way, in the peripheral market, Pokémon completely crushes Super Mario of Renten, and even now has a tendency to surpass Hello Kitty.
...
"A large part of this animation can be experienced in the actual game process,"
After the trailer was played, Qing Zhiyuan raised the microphone and said, "You can think of this game as a real-time 3D game of Pokémon battles."
"What?!"
A stone stirs up a thousand waves. As soon as Qing Zhiyuan's voice fell, there was an uproar at the scene.
Everyone thought that the animation just now was just a promotion, and it was impossible to achieve such a smooth game in the game. Who didn't expect you to do it for real?
"Really? In the short film just played, are there any real-time game scenes?"
"I can't tell the difference at all. I thought it was all made-up animations."
"What is real-time Pokémon? Is it like 3D World?"
"Didn't they say in the film just now that this is a game where you can control Pokémon to explore, fight, and collect props.
I feel more like the "Princess Mononoke" made by Pokeni before
but the protagonist has become Pokémon."
"What?! Pokémon has been made into an RPG game, is that right?"
"It looks like it should be like this, and it's an action-adventure game."
...
It doesn't matter if you don't understand, or have doubts, or don't dare to believe it.
Because afterwards, pokeni conducted a real-machine demonstration.
It was still a demonstration conducted by Lisa Asano, the producer of the Pokémon series and the director of Pokémon.
Although this girl is very young, she has already accomplished things that many people cannot accomplish in their lifetime, and has reached a height that many people only dream of.
Many people were a little envious when they saw her appearance.
"Is the producer of Pokémon so young?"
"And she's a girl?"
"Oh my god, I can't even imagine that this girl who looks like she hasn't even graduated from high school is actually the producer of a world-famous game like Pokémon?"
Today, Lisa Asano performed a live demonstration. As she operated Pikachu to jump and fight in the mountains, release a hundred thousand volts, and then pick up the fruit that fell on the ground...
Make applesauce and find new companions…
The shock in everyone's eyes became more and more intense.
"It's really... a real-time Pokémon."
"Not only is it real-time, but it also feels like Pokémon itself, even more so than Pokémon itself. This is a complete adventure action game."
Yes, Pokémon battles in the game are only a small part of the content.
Exploring, exploring different areas, unlocking more content, and digging into the stories behind the world are the most interesting ways to play in Pokémon Adventures.
It is equivalent to really placing players into a world of Pokémon and taking Pokémon on adventures.
In addition to training Pokémon, they also have to go through many levels and twists and turns, and also learn certain life skills, so that Pokémon can make feasts with fruits, stone pots, etc., fill their stomachs, etc... …
The game suddenly became much richer.
Moreover, this game is evolving rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. From Pokémon 3D World to the current Pokémon Mystery Adventure, the difference between the two can be clearly seen, in terms of the picture quality and the character's appearance. In terms of model accuracy and game smoothness,
Pokémon Mystery Adventure has been significantly improved.
This also illustrates something from the side -
pokeni technology is also improving at an unprecedented speed.
"It's terrible, pokeni, this company."
Masashi Miyamoto, who was sitting in the audience with his hands folded, was shocked again.
There was an incredible look in his eyes, "How can this be called an incredible adventure? This is clearly called an incredible pokeni."
If they continue to play like this, who will play our games in the future?
The difference is too obvious, right?
Masashi Miyamoto is not in pain, but the most painful thing is Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary producer of Rentendo who is currently sitting in the middle seat.
The secondary camera of the live broadcast was intentionally or unintentionally assigned to Shigeru Miyamoto, and his shocked expression always appeared on the big screen on the right.
By the end, Shigeru Miyamoto felt blushing and covered his face in embarrassment, leaving only his eyes exposed.
…
There is no word on whether the outside world knows about the festival between Rentiantang and P Club.
However, at least everyone knows that Pokémon and Rentendo’s many games are definitely in competition.
And it's a head-on competition.
All he had to do was throw the Pokémon into Yamauchi's face.
The same family fun games, the same games for all ages, the same cute style...
However, the expressiveness of Pokémon, the richness of the game, playability, etc. all seem to have a tendency to overwhelm Rentian.
No one said this clearly, but as long as a shot was shown to Miyamoto Shigeru's face, everyone at the scene would make associations.
As soon as they saw Miyamoto Shigeru's shocked face appearing on the secondary screen, the media reporters couldn't help laughing.
"It's amazing. The on-site director is really good at cutting the scenes."
"Now that I have all the materials, I'm not worried at all about how the news will be written when I go back today. The only thing I'm worried about is that it won't be as good as others."
"Hahaha, the director was too bad and made Rentendo the background. It was too bad to cut off Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto like this.
But it's funny. "
"What did Mr. Miyamoto Shigeru do wrong to be compared like this? Hahahaha, let me laugh a little longer."
In this way, it is equivalent to all news media having access to the material, rather than taking the initiative to capture the footage themselves, which indeed reduces some exclusive competitiveness.
Therefore, many people are thinking that after today's pre-show press conference, they must interview Shigeru Miyamoto.
The inexplicable looks from around him made Shigeru Miyamoto tense up.
What a terrible sight.
…
The next game Qing Zhiyuan introduced was still Pokémon.
As soon as the picture appeared on the big screen, the roar of an engine sounded, and the scene was in an uproar.
Countless players stood up from their chairs and looked at the scene in front of them excitedly:
On the big screen, Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur are sitting on a kart.
The karts are also in various Pokémon shapes.
This scene always felt a bit funny and made everyone laugh out loud.
"Hey guys, this is Pikachu riding Charmander, right?"
"There's also Squirtle riding Eevee."
"..."
In short, it is very funny. This kind of scene probably has never been thought of by anyone. Maybe some people have thought of it, but it is not so outrageous.
Directly make Pokémon into racing cars and racers.
Just when everyone was talking about it, several karts in the picture started a fierce competition with a gunshot.
The rules of Pokémon Racing are very simple: players need to drive a kart and compete with other players on various tracks.
Each track has different terrain and obstacles, and players need to cleverly use these elements to gain an advantage.
There are also various props in the game that can help players speed up, attack opponents or defend against attacks.
The character lineup of Pokémon Racing is very rich, including various characters in the Pokémon series, such as Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, etc.
Each character has its own characteristics and skills, and players can choose characters according to their preferences.
Different Pokémon vehicles have different skills. For example, the Squirtle Kart is more suitable for driving on the water and can have buff bonuses.
As for the Pikachu Racing, it will discharge after a while, and if it can be pulled by the electromagnetic field, it can get a huge acceleration...
The audience laughed at the whole video, and it was extremely happy.
...
If the previous Pokémon series games were still reserved, then the video of Pokémon Racing was really a face-riding.
After all, Super Mario Kart was released a few years ago.
The live director immediately cut the camera to Shigeru Miyamoto's face.
Miyamoto's eyes showed great shock-
What is Pokeni going to do? !
Even racing cars are going to be made?
Don't you see, is Pokémon suitable for racing cars? !
...
