Chapter 253 No Loss, Second Update
"Director Takamura, what do you mean by this?"
The offensive weapon that Komura mentioned.
This description made everyone unable to react for a while.
Takamura Yu immediately explained: "Everyone, look at the game Mr. Zuozhen is going to develop this time."
"Final Fantasy Part 2, what happened?"
"Think about it, whose family did Final Fantasy belong to before?"
"Square."
"No, I mean who supported it before?"
"It's...NGS."
By this time, several senior executives present understood what Gao Cunxiong meant.
If you still don’t understand now, these high-level officials are really just mixed up.
Using a series of works that were ruthlessly abandoned by NGS as a counterattack blade. If successful, will this make NGS uncomfortable for a long time?
He was obviously an outcast whom he had abandoned before, but unexpectedly he was brought back to life by his competitor.
And this is what Takamura Yu wants.
"What if... the final effect is not that good, or even fails? After all, game developers cannot guarantee that all games will be popular."
Komura Yu spread his hands and said: "That's okay. Let's just say that this series really has no potential. Mr. Zuozhen has tried his best. Let Mr. Zuozhen continue to develop the already influential series of IPs."
This is equivalent to advancing, attacking, retreating and defending. In short, there is no possibility of failure, and the worst is a tie.
"It seems to be really exciting..."
"Just do what you said."
At this moment, the president, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said this.
And this sentence is basically equivalent to the effect of Dinghai Shenzhen. Everyone understands that the president has also approved Takamura Xiong's decision.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the future president, and if the current president agrees with it, then Takamura Yu is already the future president and has not run away.
Naturally, Takamura Yu was a little proud of being recognized by the current president.
He came up with this plan immediately after Zuo Zhen told him.
This is a good opportunity to seriously embarrass NGS.
Even if it fails, nothing will be lost, not even Zuozhen's player credibility.
It’s really not good for Final Fantasy to be able to blame the game’s foundation if it doesn’t sell well. The genius developer Mr. Zuo Zhen can’t save it either, and the rest can’t do it even more.
NGS has nothing to say.
Soon, Sega's marketing department began to take action.
Real Games, a well-known game developer, officially acquired the Japanese game company Square, and also announced that it will use Square's legacy: the Final Fantasy series to develop a sequel. Mr. Zuo Zhen is unwilling to give up an excellent game and wants to Continuation of this series.
In short, it depicts Zuo Zhen in the direction of a saint, a person who wants to revitalize the game industry and usher in a new era. At the same time, he also hopes to give every game a chance to prosper.
If there is anyone in this world who can take the Final Fantasy series to the next level, then only the real game can do it, and only Mr. Zuozhen can do it.
The effect of this publicity is also quite significant.
Originally, the quality of the first Final Fantasy work was not bad.
The only problem should be that he had a collision with Zuozhen's heavy mech before.
In fact, the final result cannot be said to be a true failure. At most, it is a score of 30-70. It is hard to say who will win in the end.
But NGS didn't care about that. Victory without absolute advantage meant failure, so it decisively abandoned Square.
Anyway, they have Zelda and their loyal companion Dragon Quest, so there's nothing to worry about.
Sega's publicity also sucked away some of the popularity that originally belonged to Dragon Quest, and Sega's influence began to increase.
The real game developed a work called Final Fantasy, and NGS naturally learned the news immediately.
What surprised NGS was why this time the real game would choose a work that seemed to have no future.
Even with NGS's vigorous promotion, the sales of Final Fantasy only exceeded one million. This result is really not very good.
Although Akira Nakamura also maintains some positive attitude towards this game, he doesn't think it is particularly outstanding.
Moreover, real games still have their own series.
Wouldn't it be more popular if you develop a new work on heavy-duty mechs properly?
People within NGS were a little confused for a while about the actual game and what Sega was up to.
At this time, Sega continued to expand its promotional influence.
Originally, Komura Yu planned to have Zuo Zhen come to Japan again to participate in an interview program or something.
But he was rejected by Zuo Zhen. He has now begun to enter the state of game development and does not want to be distracted for the time being.
Seeing this, Komura had no choice but to play in person.
If it is a game developed by another game developer, even if his people will recommend it wholeheartedly, a senior executive will definitely not interfere too much.
But real games are different.
The real game is now one of his trump cards.
He is also the biggest contributor to Sega, and deserves his personal death as a director.
So in the next period of time, he traveled around, participated in interviews, and personally found some publicity channels, putting down his pretentiousness to give Final Fantasy as many opportunities as possible to promote it.
boom!
At a golf course in Japan, Yamauchi, the president of NGS, played some sports for the first time in a long time.
It seems like he is just right to play golf or something at his current age.
Not far away, there were several tabloid reporters secretly taking photos, but these were all under covert instructions.
Recently, NGS plans to develop a golf game related to Super Mario, and using the president as a publicity stunt is naturally the best way.
At the same time, Yamauchi can also communicate with some upper-class people in Japan at this time.
Golf seems to be naturally associated with the upper class.
"Yamauchi, your company is also booming. I think it won't be long before you can reach the chaebol level."
A man of similar age to Yamauchi sat leisurely on a deck chair watching Yamauchi play golf.
After Yamauchi finished his swing, he turned to look at the man.
"I hope so."
"As long as you can continue to maintain your current market position advantage, it will be a matter of time before you enter the chaebol class. However, I recently heard that there seems to be a company that is competing fiercely with you."
Yamauchi's eyes flickered slightly after hearing what the other party said.
Then he said lightly: "It's all a small matter. That company now relies entirely on an outsider to help establish its position. It is incomparable to us. Moreover... we have a trump card."
"The trump card?"
"We are preparing to launch a mobile entertainment device in the future, which should be able to expand the gaming market again, but this is still a secret."
