Chapter 283 Do You Have Any Thoughts?
Within NGS, most people believe that it is impossible to make high-definition games with current real-life games.
This is not because the technology of the game itself is not up to par, but simply because the hardware technology is not up to par.
But even so, the real game is still very powerful.
They developed a unique Sega compiler that allows the game to have high quality without being too high in capacity.
The technical staff here at NGS, especially Akira Nakamura’s game development team, are drooling with envy.
If this technology is used on NGS game consoles, then they can at least increase the playability of the game by 20 to 30%.
Of course, this further deepened the game development team's hatred for the former Miyazaki.
If Miyazaki hadn't interfered with it, excellent developers like Zuo Zhen would still have stayed with NGS.
They will be able to use this compiler for real game development, and it will not help a new game company grow.
Fortunately, Miyazaki has left NGS now. If he were still in this company, he would definitely be pointed at and scolded by his old colleagues when he saw him.
At the end of the meeting, a group of people walked out of the conference room one after another. Nakamura Komasa communicated with the current head of the cassette production department to see if he could win more cassette production quotas.
Just then a man ran over in a hurry.
Akira Nakamura knew him, and he was an employee of Sega's response development department.
I saw him running into the conference room quickly, and the only one in the conference room who had not left was Yamauchi.
Akira Nakamura and the people in the cassette production department stopped communicating, and instead looked at the door of the conference room in confusion.
What did that person do in there?
Two minutes later, the man ran out again and saw Akira Nakamura and the head of the cassette production department.
"Ah, the two directors haven't left yet. That's just right. President Yamauchi wants you to come in again."
Nakamura and the new head of the cassette production department looked at each other, and had a vague premonition.
Looking at the expressions of the employees in this department, could it be that something unexpected happened to Sega?
How could something unexpected happen suddenly?
Nakamura Akira and the head of the cassette department immediately returned to the conference room. Yamauchi was reading a magazine. The large-head TV set in the corner was also turned on at this time, playing a news video recorded on a videotape.
"The name of the game we released this time is Thunder Fighter, and it is the latest masterpiece of our partner Real Games."
Real game?
Upon hearing this title, several people's ears perked up.
Nakamura and others looked at the TV, and what appeared on the TV was a Sega manager who was usually responsible for promoting games.
Standing with the management was a well-known Japanese film and television star.
In order to promote a game, Sega directly spent a lot of money to invite film and television stars to the platform this time, just to expand its influence.
If it were a game developed by real games, it wouldn't be surprising.
At this time, the management returned to the office one after another, and they also noticed what was playing on the TV.
"Thunder Fighter...is this a game related to combat aircraft?"
Nakamura Akira said: "Don't rush to a conclusion, first find out what the game is."
The game screen began to appear on the TV.
The picture style is vertical scrolling, but... the style of this game is a bit too refined.
Everyone was in disbelief when they saw the image of the Thunderbolt fighter on the TV.
This picture quality shouldn't be what Sega MD can achieve, right?
No, it should be achievable, but how much game capacity would such picture quality take up?
Several high-level executives present were relatively familiar with the game, and they knew better what price such game graphics would cost.
"Is this an arcade game?" one person said.
"Keep watching!"
At this time, Yamauchi suddenly made a stern voice, which made several people present tremble, and suddenly there was more unpleasant feeling in their hearts.
So everyone continued to watch.
The fighter plane at the bottom of the TV screen kept releasing all kinds of fancy bullets, wiping out all the groups of enemies attacking from the front.
Coupled with the stimulating music and the occasionally shaking screen, this kind of impact is almost overflowing.
This kind of picture and this kind of special effects were something they had never seen before.
Thunder Fighter almost achieves the ultimate state of picture quality and special effects in this era.
Compared with the games on NGS, it really starts to feel like they are not in the same era.
"This...should be an arcade game, right?" At this time, another senior executive said in surprise.
boom! ! !
A huge mechanical behemoth appeared from the front on the screen, which looked very huge compared with the fighter plane.
Under this pressure, the Thunderbolt fighter slowly threw a unique cannonball.
When the shell hit the giant beast, the entire screen began to shake violently, and then the screen turned into a white light, a vast expanse of white.
When the white light disappeared, a picture of a fighter jet about to break through the screen came to mind.
"Wow! Is this the Thunderbolt Fighter? My blood is boiling right now!"
On the TV, the invited film and television star looked very excited.
His excitement could not even be traced to any performance. It seemed that he himself was really excited.
In fact, let alone the movie star.
Even the several NGS executives present now feel passionate in their hearts.
There are enough exciting scenes and scenes of exciting explosion effects. It is difficult not to be excited when these are brought together.
Akira Nakamura's breathing began to become a little quick.
The Sega publicity manager on the TV smiled: "I'm glad that you like our game works."
"I like it so much. I have played video games before, but I have never seen such exciting graphics. When will this game be released? Can I pre-order it in advance?"
"sure."
"Then wait!"
On the spot, the movie star took out several ten thousand yuan bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the publicity manager.
"Give me some cassettes. I not only want to play them myself, but I also want to give them to my friends to play!"
"Thank you very much for your purchase!"
The person in charge of publicity bowed slightly to the film and television star, then faced the camera and said: "Dear players, if you are also interested, you can call the phone number below to reserve in advance. The game is priced at 6,000 yen, and the game is expected to be available in It will be officially released exclusively on our Sega MD platform in two months. Of course, if you want to try it out first, you can, our Sega arcade will also release the game simultaneously, and everyone is welcome to experience it."
The commercial on the TV ended, and then the screen turned into a state of snowflakes.
Everyone present was slightly silent.
Yamauchi glanced around and then asked: "After reading this, do you have any thoughts?"
