I want to make a game

Chapter 196 Metal Gear

The period when Final Fantasy truly began to shine was the PS era, which started with the 7th generation of the game. It was thanks to the fact that Hironobu Sakaguchi was able to get Hironobu Sakaguchi from Square that he almost brought down Square before.

Hironobu Sakaguchi's current status is incomparable to Liu Zhiyuan. He is not known as the father of Final Fantasy in later generations, nor is he the second game producer to enter the AIAS Hall of Fame. Although Hironobu Sakaguchi is not unknown in the game industry

, he is still the director and head of the development department of Square, but his achievements at this time are far less than what he will achieve in the future.

Final Fantasy does not have the reputation of being the first RPG game in the future. Although Final Fantasy 1 won the Best Script Award, and although Final Fantasy saved Square from the brink of bankruptcy, the game has too many shortcomings and is far inferior to similar games.

Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy’s power period is in the 3D era! Liu Zhiyuan is not in a hurry, Square Enix will not be able to go far without Hironobu Sakaguchi, and will come back sooner or later.

Square's ability to withstand the crisis of 1987 and persist for several years was due to the support of Gunpei Yokoi, the first Makaisha Tashi Sa.Ga released on GB with sales exceeding one million, and the success of the 1995

Chrono Trigger sold 1.5 million copies in two weeks on SFC, and the producer of these masterpieces was none other than Hironobu Sakaguchi.

At the same time, Gunpei Yokoi also came to the Han Dynasty. Square Enix lost these two people. Liu Zhiyuan's expectation was that Square Enix would have to come back to him without waiting for the Han Dynasty's home console to be developed. At that time, it would not only be

Partners, the Square Branch of the Han Dynasty is the right name!

Square has always been on the verge of death. It only officially became an independent company in 1986. Just after it started operating independently, Square made a fatal mistake. FC was so popular that Square’s executives thought that FC’s

Peripheral products, disk drives, will also have a brilliant future, and Square Enix invested all its resources in this. As a result, the disk drives were briefly popular and then quickly cooled down due to defects in the physical design of the DS system.

At this time, the development team led by Sakaguchi Hironobu had already established a good shape. Several high-quality games such as "Dark Dungeon", "Crystal Dragon", and "Strike" should logically have good sales, but...

Because when Square was designing these games, the hardware was based on disk drives, and the results are self-evident, and they almost went bankrupt.

Square cannot do anything wrong. History has proven that the future of games is disks. It is a pity that they believe that Rendo launched this disk product for the future. If Rendo turns its energy to disks from then on, Square may surpass

Konami becomes the strongest third party.

Before the crisis of 1987, although Hironobu Sakaguchi had developed several games, they were all ignored by the market. He even once had the idea of ​​leaving the game industry, but before ending his game production career, he decided to devote all his efforts to production

A game that truly belongs to me, and Final Fantasy was born.

He was really not in a hurry. Final Fantasy would return to the Han Dynasty, and not in a cooperative way, but in a completely Han Dynasty way. Thinking about these things, he came to the next development team.

As soon as Liu Zhiyuan walked to the Metal Gear development team, the members here looked at each other expectantly. The Chrono Trigger bonus was 10 million US dollars. How much do they have? They don't ask for that much, just a few million dollars.

Looking at the expectant faces, Liu Zhiyuan knew exactly what they were thinking.

"If the sales exceed 10 million, there will be a bonus of 2 million US dollars. If the sales exceed 30 million, there will be a bonus of 5 million US dollars. If the sales exceed 50 million, there will be a bonus of 10 million US dollars. Come on, everyone. In my opinion, it is very easy for Metal Gear Solid to achieve sales exceeding 10 million."

Metal Gear Solid is a game that is not inferior to Final Fantasy at all. The key is that it is a new type of game! With rich infiltration methods and a tense and exciting rhythm, it is completely worthy of being called a masterpiece.

Metal Gear Solid was actually released in 1987, but it was not Hideo Shima's Metal Gear Solid. He did not agree with the Metal Gear Solid that was changed to the Contra version. This is also the source of the dispute over Konami's Metal Gear Solid sequel.

The reason why Hideo Shima left Konami later.

It’s natural that the first version of Metal Gear Solid failed miserably. Everything that was really attractive about this game was changed. The result of imitating Contra was that there was almost no sales, and the Japanese version was never released. Therefore, in everyone’s eyes, this game is already a

Liu Zhiyuan overcame the failed game easily.

"Team Leader Shima, you can develop Metal Gear according to your own ideas. You can use the plan I gave you as a reference. It doesn't have to be exactly the same."

He has played Metal Gear Solid, but he played the PS version. The handheld version is now being developed. Metal Gear Solid that loses the 3D effect will lose a lot of its outstanding features. The most direct and core card field of view, he is not very good at it.

This shows the gap between him and a real game master. Without those advanced memories, he is just an ordinary person.

"yes!"

Shima Hideo stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Zhiyuan. He was not grateful for Liu Zhiyuan's bonus, but for Liu Zhiyuan's trust. He was bullied at Konami, and he thought he would be the same when he came to the Han Dynasty, but

No, as soon as he came, Liu Zhiyuan took back Metal Gear Solid, promoted him to the team leader of the game on the spot, and now gave him great autonomy. This kind of trust, he has never received

Pass.

"I will try my best to live up to your expectations! Metal Gear Solid will definitely become the next tens-million-selling masterpiece of the Han Dynasty."

It is very simple to repay this trust. You have to give everything you have. Only in this way can you be worthy of this trust. He has been coldly looked down on and knows very well how rare this trust is.

"Don't take yourself too seriously. In my opinion, it's not impossible for the Metal Gear Solid series to exceed 100 million. Come on."

Metal Gear Solid really has the potential to reach over 100 million. In his opinion, the pinnacle of espionage and infiltration games is Metal Gear Solid. Are you Assassin’s Creed? Are you sure it’s not Berserker’s Creed? Hitman? That’s just a disguised assassination game!

The Metal Gear Solid series sold more than 50 million units in 2018. This is still under the premise that Hideo Shima has been fighting Konami. Now he has completely delegated power. Coupled with his foresight, it is really not just over 100 million units.

"Over...over 100 million..."

Shima Hideo stood up suddenly. He never thought that his game could exceed 100 million. The gaming industry has developed over the years, and now there are only two games that can exceed 100 million, Super Mario and Pokemon!

"That's right, over 100 million! It is the most outstanding espionage and infiltration game. Every detail is done carefully. If you have any questions, please ask me in time. Don't think too much about home consoles at this stage. Handheld consoles are the first message it sends to the world.

Voice."

"yes!"
