Chapter 262 Stealing Home First Update
With Rogers, Zuo Zhen can be regarded as having his own publicity channel in the United States.
You no longer have to wait for news from Sega.
Then Rogers built a grassroots team in the United States in the following period, and the first thing he did was naturally to promote the Final Fantasy series that Real Games was currently developing.
Enix is currently working hard to promote its Dragon Quest game in Japan.
It is obviously unwise to compete with Enix for publicity resources in Japan now.
It would be better to just engage in a wave of stealing and go to the United States to promote Final Fantasy.
If Zuo Zhen remembers correctly, Dragon Quest can only be regarded as a national-level game in Japan, but after moving overseas, the influence of this series of works began to be reduced.
Europe and the United States have their own aesthetic habits. The style of Dragon Quest actually does not conform to the European and American aesthetics.
On the contrary, the Final Fantasy series has a greater influence around the world.
The main reason is that the overall style of Final Fantasy is more mature.
In the second half of the year, Dragon Quest was released as scheduled, and just as they originally promised, it did achieve a new breakthrough. Some of the gameplay features of the game itself and the graphics of the game have reached the peak of the NGS game console, almost This is the limit of NGS game consoles.
And this kind of feedback is that there was a brief scene of empty streets in Japan.
Japan now has the most money, and sales have soared rapidly thanks to this shareholder trend.
Sales exceeded one million in the first week alone, and in the following month, Dragon Quest sold nearly two million, becoming a short-lived peak for role-playing games.
NGS also seems to have finally regained some say in the late stages of its own game console.
At least the results don't seem as unconvincing as before.
The people at NGS also began to emphasize gameplay again, believing that things other than the gameplay of the game are of little significance. The improvement of image quality will not bring about an essential improvement in the fun of the game, but will only increase the cost of playing for players.
However, in fact, NGS hopes to squeeze more money out of this old game console.
A year ago, most people would have believed what NGS said.
But at this moment, most game manufacturers obviously don't believe this statement, and they have not given up investment in the development of high-definition games because of NGS's words, which puts NGS's shouting into a bit of an embarrassing situation.
However, NGS did not forget to take a dig at the real game at this time.
See, our Dragon Quest has completely taken over the role-playing market.
Neither does your Juggernaut, and Final Fantasy? Even worse!
The work that NGS has invested a lot of resources in supporting has just exceeded one million sales, so NGS can reproduce such a game again.
Of course, Sega couldn't let NGS continue to slander their products, so they also used their own power to fight back.
If you say that my gameplay is not enough, I will say that you are already a product of the old era. It is disrespectful to the players to use such deceptive things to fool players. Players have the right to enjoy more beautiful graphics and better sounds. sound.
As for gameplay, Sega is not lacking in it at all.
The scolding war between the two sides became the greatest fun for many people at the end of 1988.
At this moment, people with a little bit of brains have recorded this content in various ways.
Some wrote in their own books, while others recorded video clips, waiting to be used as material for documentaries one day.
Just as the two companies began to fight desperately, the new company that had just been established in the United States by Real Games quietly started its own actions.
Abbreviation: Home Stealing Operation.
"Hello, is this Mr. Brown's home?"
In a relatively high-end community somewhere in the United States, Rogers personally came here with a brochure.
"Yes, this is Mr. Brown's home. Are you..."
"Ah, I am his supporter, I like his paintings very much." Rogers said.
After hearing Rogers' words, the other party's eyes immediately became kind.
"It turns out that you are a supporter of Mr. Brown. Thank you very much for liking Mr. Brown's art works, but you are here because..."
"Ah, it's like this. In addition to being a supporter of Mr. Brown, I actually also have some other hobbies in art styles. I just recently discovered a painter who is also very distinctive, so I want to give it to Brown. Sir, take a look at this person’s work and hope to get some pointers.”
"That's it. Then wait a moment and I'll ask Mr. Brown."
The man closed the door again and about five minutes later he reappeared in the doorway.
"Hello, Mr. Brown happens to be free right now and is willing to take a look at the works you mentioned. But what I want to tell you is that Mr. Brown has always been very picky about art works. If his evaluation is not good, don't be angry. .”
Rogers waved his hand quickly: "No, no, absolutely not!"
"Then come in."
The door was fully opened, Rogers entered, and then followed the man to the living room, where a middle-aged man in his fifties was sitting on the sofa waiting for Rogers' arrival.
He is Rogers' target this time, Mr. Brown.
A very famous person in fine art painting.
The art design of many products in the United States was also created by him.
"It's really rare that a painter like me will have new supporters."
Rogers looked excited immediately after seeing Brown, and then said enthusiastically: "Mr. Brown, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but because I have been settling in Japan before, now that I finally come to the United States, I have a chance. See you."
"Oh? Were you in Japan before?"
"That's right, and the work I brought this time is from a young painter I suddenly discovered in Japan. I think the painting style is quite unique, so I want to get it here for you to evaluate, Mr. Brown."
"Okay, let me see what kind of work it is, but if the quality is not good, don't blame me for my sharp words."
"That's definitely not the case. Having the opportunity to meet Mr. Brown is the most important thing!"
As Rogers spoke, he took out several printed paintings from his bag.
Those are all Final Fantasy seal paintings drawn by Yu Zhaolonggui, with a unique style and a vague dreamy color.
"Mr. Brown, look, this is the very distinctive work I found."
"Well...it is indeed very unique. It uses modern painting methods. This is a young man, right?"
"That's right, Mr. Brown, you have such a good sense!"
Brown nodded slightly, showing a hint of appreciation for the seal.
This painting already has some artistic atmosphere.
The image of the character is ethereal and dreamy, and the clothes on his body seem to be in the medieval magical style. The armor and weapons are exaggerated. This does not seem to be a work purely for art painting.
"Do you know what this painting is about?"
"Oh, this is a game cover drawn by this artist for a game."
"game?"
"It's just a video game, Mr. Brown, do you understand?"
"I know video games...but aren't they for kids?"
Brown was briefly confused.
