I want to make a game

At more than 400 million US dollars, TECHNOS is not worth this price, but there is no way. Now TECHNOS needs at least more than 400 million US dollars to avoid debt.

Liu Zhiyuan has already arranged a position for Yamamoto Mishima. Don't even think about a management position, just develop games honestly.

In Japan's economic crisis, or the economic crisis in the real estate sector, he dared to buy a building and build a headquarters. He is truly a "brave"!

The Han Dynasty did not need such a "brave man" and did not dare to have such a "brave man". God knows what "courageous" suggestions he would put forward.

A week later, Liu Zhiyuan flew to Japan. The purpose of his visit was simple, to discuss cooperation with several influential third parties.

"President Sakaguchi, please sit down quickly."

When Liu Zhiyuan saw Ichiyoshi Sakaguchi coming in, he quickly stood up and greeted him warmly.

This is the first influential third party that Liu Zhiyuan met when he came to Japan, TECMO, which is the company that will develop Ninja Gaiden and later marginal games such as Life or Death.

"President Liu, you are too polite."

After taking a seat, Liu Zhiyuan spoke with some simple politeness.

"I wonder if President Sakaguchi is interested in coming to Han Dynasty?"

Kazuyoshi Sakaguchi returned with a smile without thinking.

"Then I wonder what level of treatment your company can give us?"

He knew what Liu Zhiyuan was thinking before he came. What else could he do besides asking TECMO to join the Han Dynasty lineup?

Acquisition? TECMO is doing very well now, and he has no intention of being acquired.

"It's hard to say about other games, but Ninja Gaiden is the second-best treatment after the super masterpiece of the Han Dynasty."

Now that it's been made clear, Liu Zhiyuan won't hide it, let's make it clear and everyone should feel free to do it.

"Can you boldly apply for top-level treatment?"

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

"President Sakaguchi, you are also an old man in the gaming industry. According to your seniority, I need to call you senior."

"I don't dare to call myself senior in front of President Liu."

It’s not that top-level treatment cannot be given, the current situation is already very dangerous, and some rules must be broken.

Ninja Gaiden is a good game, but it doesn't deserve top-tier treatment. Just look at the top-tier games in Han Dynasty.

Pokemon, Need for Speed, Under One Man, DDR, Heartbeat Memories, Zodiac Adventures, these are the games that the Han Dynasty has received top treatment so far!

Top treatment is no longer about how fun or powerful this game is, but the influence it brings to the Han Dynasty and whether it can complete its own layout!

This is the most basic condition for a game to receive top-level treatment. If it doesn't meet this condition, no matter how fun or powerful it is, it won't work.

Every game that is treated with top-notch treatment is the son game of the Han Dynasty, and investment in them is completely regardless of cost.

Sometimes it doesn't matter whether you are profitable or not, influence is the most important.

"You are an old man and you know the rules of the gaming industry very well. The sub-top treatment in the Han Dynasty is already much higher than the top-level treatment in Nintendo."

Liu Zhiyuan slowly talked about those games in the Han Dynasty that had received sub-top treatment.

"NBALIVE series, Tank Battle series, Live Football, Chrono Trigger...they all get sub-top treatment."

Ninja Gaiden will never get top-notch treatment from him, even if it is more fun and powerful than it is now.

Because... Ninja is Japanese culture, a culture that Japan has been trying its best to export. This cultural export started from a long time ago, even before he was born.

"Can I see the physical version of Han Dynasty's new console? Sony has already shown me their console."

"Can."

Fuck! Liu Zhiyuan cursed angrily in his heart, damn fast, he has been working non-stop, but he didn't expect that Sony and the others have already started to contact these third parties.

"President Sakaguchi, please keep it confidential."

Liu Zhiyuan came prepared. If you want people to join the Han Dynasty's camp, you have to at least let them see your hand. He brought over the unfinished Tiger Talisman.

"Of course, I will abide by these rules, just like I will not reveal Sony's console information to you."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded. In an industry, you must abide by the rules of an industry, otherwise the end will be tragic.

Although Konami is very smooth with its repeated vertical jumps, it jumps around within the limits allowed by the rules. If it tries to get out of the circle? Nintendo will be the first to kill it.

Of course, if you want to be a reformer of industry rules, it’s another matter. Anyway, wherever you look, you are all enemies, and it doesn’t matter whether you offend or not.

"Shi Yuzhu."

"yes."

Soon, Hu Fu was powered on and connected to the TV.

"Want to try?"

Liu Zhiyuan handed another game controller to Sakaguchi Ichiyoshi.

"My pleasure."

After taking the controller, he did not choose to start the game immediately, but looked at the game controller in his hand carefully.

Liu Zhiyuan did not speak or urge. The game controller is a powerful selling point of Hu Fu. Sony originally spent over 100 million yuan to develop the PS series controller.

Although Sony has not publicly stated the price of developing the controller, it will definitely not be less than 100 million US dollars. Nintendo originally spent tens of millions of dollars in research and development expenses for the appearance of the GBA!

And the N64 controller, which has had a profound impact on the gaming industry, has a sky-high R&D fee.

Therefore, the reason why most game consoles are sold at a loss is because the research and development costs are too high, and it is too difficult to make money from the consoles.

It’s not that there aren’t companies that want to make money from consoles. For example, the opponent he is about to meet, 3DO, sells for $1,299. This price can make money.

But the result? The penetration rate is surprisingly low. For the first 32-bit console that came out, the sales volume was simply an embarrassment to the 32-bit console.

The reason lies in the price. How much does PS cost? $299! Do you even have to think about how to choose? 3DO cannot beat Sony even with its huge game lineup.

"What an amazing idea, very comfortable and fits the hands perfectly."

Sakaguchi Kazuyoshi has tried the PS controller. It is very similar to the handle of Hu Fu, as if it comes from the same family, but the controller of Hu Fu is more complete.

"Try the game. This is a 3D game console. The way you play will be very different from the past."

"Okay, can I choose a game?"

"certainly."

"Let's blow out the lights and Metal Gear Solid."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and motioned Shi Yuzhu to change the game disc.

Should it be said that it is a well-known third party in the gaming industry? It immediately grasped the most important core of this game console, 3D!

The 25 games in Han Dynasty's starting lineup have more or less 3D effects, but Ghost Blowing Lantern and Metal Gear Solid are the games with the highest proportion of 3D.

Because the biggest selling point of these two games is the 3D graphics! 2D graphics simply cannot show the moving parts of these two games.
