Chapter 440 344 The Pattern Is Opened (Asking for Monthly Votes)
Chapter 440 344. The pattern has been opened (asking for monthly tickets)
September 19, 1997.
After a three-day pre-show press conference, the Tokyo Game Show entered the official exhibition period.
This time, the venue held by the organizer is large-scale, with a total of more than 150 exhibition areas and 200,000 people.
Compared with E3, TGS is simply a behemoth.
This time, there are also an unusually large number of game manufacturers participating in the Tokyo Game Show. In addition to those in the neon area, some foreign game manufacturers also came here.
Players are coming in an endless stream, and the scene is very lively.
At this grand game exhibition, major game manufacturers have tried their best to arrange the exhibition area in a unique and eye-catching way.
From virtual reality to augmented reality, from ARPG to casual puzzles, all kinds of games are available, making players dazzled.
This year's TGS brought many representative works, such as "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Painted Dragon: Legends", "Ghost in the Shell" and "Planet Fighter 2".
At the same time, the music game "PaRappa the Rapper" shined on the stage and attracted a lot of popularity.
In addition to these well-known game manufacturers, many independent game developers also showed their creative works at the exhibition.
Although these works are smaller in scale, they are also full of unique charm and unlimited imagination.
Players can find many unexpected surprises here and feel the innovative vitality of the game industry.
In short, this game exhibition provides players with a rare communication platform, allowing them to get a close look at various types of game works and feel the rapid development and innovative power of the game industry.
Let people believe that in the days to come, more exciting game works will be born.
…
This Tokyo Game Show looks grand in scale, but it has a very general meaning.
Because Sega joined.
Sega can be said to be another bright banner besides Rendezvous.
Before Sony entered the game console market, Sega was undoubtedly the most powerful challenger to the throne of Rendezvous.
However, due to various reasons, these two companies have failed in the console market and have been forced into a very embarrassing situation by Sony.
However, after talking with Qing Zhiyuan at the E3 Electronics Show last time, Nakayama Hayao seemed to have let it go.
Although it failed in the console field, Sega has become the world's leading king in the handheld field. In comparison, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable.
The times are stronger than people. Sometimes, if you are too obsessed with the past glory and the obsession in your heart, it is easy to fall into a dead end.
Since Sega has cooperated with Sony once before, why not cooperate again?
Although it is extremely annoying to be backstabbed by Sony and Pokeni in the middle, Pokeni, this fence-sitter, no, this guy who is good at both sides, didn't he also help Sega in the handheld field?
In this case, Mr. Nakayama Hayao feels that there is no need to be hard on money.
Especially at this year's E3 Electronics Show, seeing Sony, Nakayama Hayao suddenly became enlightened.
Sony has such a big pattern. From a global perspective, the impression given by the Tokyo Game Show and E3 is that they are opposite, because the scale of the two is similar, and the purpose of holding them is to break away from the toy show and give full play to the advantages of the game industry.
As the leader of TGS, Sony can join the E3 Electronics Show.
Why can't Sega's pattern be bigger?
To put it simply, it's about making money, which is not shabby.
So this time Sega's joining is undoubtedly something that makes the entire CESA (Neon Electronic Entertainment Association) members excited.
After Sega also joined CESA, it means that this association is the one who truly sets the rules of the game at the moment.
...
As for Rentendo?
When TGS was in full swing.
Rentendo chose its own "Shoshinkai" - Rentendo Chushinkai.
Did not participate in this TGS.
It is clear at a glance that Yamauchi Hiroshi wanted to avoid embarrassment, but he was not satisfied with the huge scale of TGS, which allowed Sony to grow slowly, so he took a mountain for himself.
However, judging from the results, although they were intimidated by the oppression of Rentendo, there were indeed many game manufacturers participating in the Hatsushinkai, with a total of 77 electronic game companies, as well as more than 30 distributors and operators.
But in fact, everyone can see that the appeal of Rentendo is now declining.
The number of participants in the entire Tokyo Game Show is more than twice that of the Hatsushinkai.
And the number of players has reached an unprecedented 200,000.
In contrast, there were only more than 7,000 people at the Hatsushinkai of Rentendo.
Yamauchi Hiroshi was so angry that he jumped up and down, but there was nothing he could do.
Rentendo is like a tired tiger, and everyone can see that the new tiger king must be Sony.
Although he is already a little exhausted, even old and frail, and his body is not good, Yamauchi Hiroshi must pretend to be strong enough. Before he falls completely and is stepped on by Sony, any behavior of giving in to Sony will make him lose all his prestige.
If he came to participate in the Tokyo Game Show, it would be equivalent to bowing his head, and then he, the tiger king who existed in name only, would be attacked by everyone.
Yamauchi Hiroshi was very clear about this, so no matter how big the Tokyo Game Show was, no matter how many advertisements, friendly companies and channels were placed here, for Rentendo, this was an option that could not be considered.
…
At the exhibition,
Ken Kutaragi found Qing Zhiyuan and smiled.
“I invited President Nakayama every year before, but he didn’t come. I didn’t expect that Sega would want to participate in the Tokyo Game Show this time. It was really unexpected.”
Ken Kutaragi shook his head and still found it incredible.
"When I reported this to President Ohga Norio, he jumped up from his chair in surprise."
"Hahaha," Qing Zhiyuan laughed, "This is the pattern opening up. It means that President Nakayama has figured it out during this period. Why is he confined to his own small circle and refuses to come out?"
Qing Zhiyuan picked up a glass of water, "This is Sega,"
Then he raised a larger glass kettle filled with water from the side, "This is Sony."
Ken Kutaragi next to him was coaxed to laugh and couldn't stop, and quickly suppressed his hand, "No, no, this is CESA."
"Well, or this is CESA."
Qing Zhiyuan said, "A company operates on its own, and water is limited, but..."
He poured the water in the cup into the kettle.
"In this way, everyone has more water and more resources. Isn't it better to join forces than to fight alone?"
A tourist was about to come over to pour some water, but when he saw Qing Zhiyuan pouring the water in the cup directly into the kettle, he couldn't hold it anymore.
Shake your head, and then go somewhere else to find mineral water or something.
There are too many people at the scene. There are really all kinds of people. This person has no sense of public morality, right?
Seeing the visitor walk away, Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes.
I haven't even drunk this water. It's completely clean, okay?
"So this problem is actually very easy to figure out. For Mr. Nakayama Hayao, although he has a little feud with Sony, why would he be so hard on money?
Moreover, Sega is not Rentendo. President Yamauchi Hiroshi is completely on the throne with no way out. Mr. Nakayama Hayao can attack or defend. It is actually very wise to make a decision now."
"Yeah."
After listening to Qing Zhiyuan's words, Kutaragi Ken smiled even more happily.
Speaking of which, the first time Rentendo tore up the contract and terminated the cooperation seemed like it was just yesterday. I didn't expect that Sony has surpassed him now.
It's incredible to think about it.
Kutaragi Ken sighed, always feeling that time passed so quickly, like a dream bubble.
Who would have thought that Rentendo was still in its heyday 4 years ago.
Now he has become an old king whose days are numbered.
Although he still seems to be sitting on the throne, he is already dead in name only.
At least in the field of consoles, Rentendo can be declared defeated.
And the person who dominates Sony game consoles and the current Sony Computer Entertainment is him, Ken Kutaragi.
Although he never thought that he could defeat Sega and Rentendo at the beginning, when he really got to this point, his heart was still full of infinite passion and excitement.
Who can't be excited? As a person who created the Sony video game empire, Ken Kutaragi deserves this pride.
Qing Zhiyuan silently observed Ken Kutaragi's expression, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"By the way, when did you start developing ps2?"
His voice suddenly pulled Ken Kutaragi down from heaven to the ground.
"Huh?"
Ken Kutaragi was a little confused and stared at Qing Zhiyuan in a daze.
"Didn't you show our new model to Mr. Kutaragi before? Miss 2B, don't you remember?"
"Ah... How could you not remember? This, we are already preparing, preparing."
Ken Kutaragi coughed awkwardly twice, "By the way, I have something else to do, you guys go ahead, I won't bother you anymore."
Looking at the back of the middle-aged man leaving, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, Sony has no plans to develop a new game console in the short term.
It seems that this side should not be able to push forward.
...
TGS is in full swing and attracts everyone's attention.
Especially for Pokeni, players are particularly looking forward to it.
I thought that Pokeni would continue to bring out "Border" at this exhibition. After all, this game is currently only available in Europe and the United States, and Japan has not heard any news.
Who knew that there was nothing at all.
P Club directly brought out several new games.
Wow, the friendly competitors next door were all amazed, is Pokeni Doraemon?
Why are there always endless new games?
Look at Square Enix next door. Final Fantasy 7 has participated in so many electronic exhibitions, and they have never thought of changing the style.
Masashi Miyamoto: ??? Are you polite?
…
At this Tokyo Game Show, Pokeni exhibited three new games.
One of them is the upcoming "FATE/STAY NIGHT"
Another is "My Robot Girlfriend"
And another is "My Future Girlfriend"
All three games are galgames, and they are really eye-opening for players.
…
However, although it is said that there are three games, except for FATE, which has been completed, the other two games are actually only test versions without dubbing, and are only partially completed. The reason why they are put out for display is to prepare for future releases. .
Pokémon and Border did not appear, which inevitably left players a little disappointed.
However, when they saw the young lady at pokeni's booth, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
In the FATE exhibition area, there stood a blonde two-dimensional girl, wearing blue armor and holding a big sword in her hand. She was cute and handsome.
Next to her is the robot girlfriend. She is dressed in a glittering, close-fitting mechanical suit, with a short skirt and long legs. The whole person is particularly eye-catching.
Moreover, the girl played the role with a sense of conviction. The robot was a robot throughout the whole process, and there was no smile on her face.
Although his movements are similar to those of humans, he has tried his best to maintain the character of a "robot with no emotions".
Apart from the occasional need to go to the toilet, Qing Zhiyuan really admired him.
But if you think about it carefully, cosplayers are all people with a strong sense of belief.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do this at all.
The future girlfriend exhibition area is much better. Because it is a modern urban love story, the ladies are all very beautiful. They are dressed like normal beauties, and they still follow the youthful route.
Particularly heartwarming.
Fortunately, the Pokémon didn't come, otherwise it would have been too strange to have a big Pikachu standing among a bunch of girls.
…
Kazuma Takahashi really did a good job this time. After the lessons learned at the last E3, he completely understood what the president meant, and the cosplayers he recruited were more beautiful and cuter than the last.
The players were a little embarrassed at first, but there were so many LSPs approaching to take pictures, so everyone gradually got used to it and relaxed.
The cosplayers from P agency are very confident and cooperative.
Although the robot lady is expressionless, as long as someone takes a photo with her, she will try her best to accompany them in various poses.
All in all, players are excited.
"Wow, it's really a feast for the eyes. I didn't expect to see such a spectacular scene when I participate in TGS for the first time."
"POKENI understands players. Isn't this better looking than the hedgehog next door?"
"Thanks to the fact that P Club has many galgames, the characters are all very good-looking, and the cosplayers chosen are so cute, otherwise it would really be a disaster."
"Don't even think about it, my pokeni's aesthetics must be first-class."
"The Queen is so beautiful, much better than I imagined."
"No, no, I think my future girlfriends are better looking."
"I prefer robot girls, they are beautiful and enthusiastic."
"Huh? You can see the enthusiasm of the robot? Doesn't she always have the same expression?"
"Sometimes, you don't have to have expressions to feel enthusiasm. The most important thing is the body movements and the tacit understanding!
Feeling, do you understand feeling? ! "
"I can't understand it, but it doesn't stop me from liking the robot lady very much."
"I like the blue cosplayer in Fate better, and I can't wait to play this game now."
"How great it would be if pokeni put all these games on the shelves at once!"

Formerly Count Winters Fandor of the Holy Empire, he was surly, cunning, lustful, and fond of fine wine. He was truly a shame to the elves.
But the gods and all the creatures on the continent had to admit that he was the unshakable first person in quelling the war between the gods and establishing a new order.
Moreover, the "Evaluation Guide to Different Races" compiled by him once became an important historical material for scholars to study endangered races.
