Carson thought Metal Gear was absolutely awesome.

Although he died quite a few times.

But the sense of accomplishment is incredibly satisfying every time you successfully assassinate all the enemies on the map.

Moreover, this game is very realistic, as if such a thing really happened.

The entire story of Metal Gear revolves around a nuclear weapon called Metal Gear, with the protagonist Snake infiltrating behind enemy lines using various methods to eliminate them.

Moreover, this game has another advantage: it is very entertaining. Even those watching from the sidelines will find it pleasing to the eye, just like watching a movie.

Thanks to Zhuyouxing's upgrades to the game's graphics and the support of the current most powerful Unreal Engine, the game boasts outstanding presentation.

Even the process of playing the game feels like being in a movie.

In the original Metal Gear 1, the game was played from a top-down perspective.

This certainly caused quite a stir at the time.

However, from the perspective of today's players, it is already somewhat outdated, so Zhuyouxing has made improvements in this regard.

With so many famous stealth games in later generations, Takeyuki made some changes to the gameplay without affecting the game's storyline, making it more like a modern game by changing the original top-down perspective to a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective.

This is the perspective that has been determined to be the most suitable for an adventure game.

Third-person perspective can make players feel more comfortable. Compared to first-person perspective, it may lack a little sense of immersion, but it will greatly increase the player base.

Firstly, the third-person perspective greatly reduces the occurrence of so-called 3D motion sickness.

Even those who watch games will find it quite enjoyable.

"Hey, hey, get out of the way! The enemy is turning around!"

"Quick, use cardboard boxes! Quick, use cardboard boxes to hide!"

"Speaking of which, why were those soldiers able to completely ignore the cardboard box? Even a fool could see how out of place it was."

"This is a game, you understand? You really expect a game to be 100% realistic? Even movies can't achieve that."

"That's true, but the cardboard box is a bit too much of a joke."

"It's probably just some of the game developers' weird tastes, but it's harmless anyway."

Two or three hours later, a large crowd had gathered behind Carson. They had all been curious about what had happened, so they came over to check on the situation.

Every time Carson successfully passed a challenge, the group would cheer and immediately have the bartender fill their beer bottles for a hearty drink.

“Hey son, I have an idea.”

The bar owner walked over to his son, his mouth agape in a wide grin.

In just a few hours, the bar's beverage revenue increased rapidly.

Previously, he had only regarded games as a tool to keep those bored hooligans quiet. As long as it could keep these guys quiet, he would be willing to let them play games instead of ordering a drink at the bar.

However, as video game consoles became a regular feature in bars, more and more people became interested in them.

The young bartender stared intently at the television screen, then tilted his head slightly and said, "What's wrong, Dad?"

"Look, so many people are interested in this video game now, so why don't we buy a few more and keep these people in our bar for longer?"

The young bartender was taken aback for a moment, then said with a hint of surprise, "Dad, you've finally figured it out? I've wanted to do this for a long time."

“I didn’t take it too seriously before, but now it seems that quite a few people like to play with this stuff. I’m getting old, so I don’t really understand what’s so fascinating about it.”

"Hehe, Dad, you're so out of touch! This is the most fashionable thing around the world. Trust me, if you buy more game consoles and put them in our bar, it will definitely attract more people to come and spend money here!"

The young bartender is already starting to make his own plans.

Previously, he had to be very frugal when buying a game, and he had to consider which game was more affordable.

But if Dad is willing to pay for a batch of game consoles, wouldn't that mean I can rightfully own more games?

This is a great opportunity you absolutely can't miss!

He immediately came up with a whole host of games he wanted to play.

Those games were a bit pricey before, and since his entire salary went to his father, he could only play games very frugally.

But once you convince your dad, the situation will be completely different.

The bar owner was clearly very interested, not because he was persuaded by his son, but simply because he saw how booming the business was due to video games and thought he should really consider it.

Finally, after a moment's thought, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then you'll take charge of this. Add some equipment to our bar and attract more people to come here for drinks."

"Dad is wise!"

……

In the United States, Abston raised his hand to push up his reading glasses and squinted at the game disc case in his hand.

"Sir, if you're planning to give your grandson a gift, this is definitely worth the price. It's the hottest item right now, and we always sell out every time it arrives."

His grandson's birthday is coming up soon.

As his maternal grandfather, he definitely had to prepare a very good gift.

Their family is considered upper-middle class, so they wouldn't care about the cost of games at all.

Compared to the various strange gifts my grandson had been desperately wanting, the price of a video game was quite cheap.

Moreover, once it's bought, the grandson will be overjoyed for a long time, and then he'll keep praising his grandfather to Abston.

So even if it's just for the sweet way his grandson calls him, he would buy the game without hesitation, no matter how expensive it is.

But... he has now encountered a problem.

What games should I buy?

He was standing in the sales area of ​​Surui Electronics. He had originally planned to go to the department store sales area of ​​Youxing Electronics Entertainment, but he couldn't resist the overly enthusiastic staff there.

The service at Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is slightly worse.

Of course, this slight deficiency doesn't mean the service was bad; it's just that the place was so popular that the staff simply couldn't keep up with the demanding schedule.

"Gunfight Heroes?"

"That's right, sir. This is our latest product, top-notch quality. You can check out our gameplay video." The waiter smiled broadly and pointed to a television in the store.

How should I choose in Chapter 637?

637

On the television, footage of a game called Gunfight Heroes is being broadcast.

Today, the graphics quality of games has reached a new era of leaps and bounds.

It's like jumping from coal-fired trains to electric multiple units.

Gunfight Heroes is the latest shooting game released by Surui Electronics.

The development of video games has a great advantage for those who come after: the predecessors plant the trees so that the successors can enjoy the shade.

As long as there is a new gameplay idea, others can directly develop their own game based on that idea.

Su Rui Electronics is considered one of the best-performing 'students' under Youxing Electronics Entertainment.

They always manage to quickly follow up when Youxing Electronic Entertainment launches a brand new game genre, and then develop similar games to seize the market together.

Because no single genre can ever be completely dominated by one company; there will always be people who have a greater demand for games of that genre.

We don't aim for the largest market share, but we can still manage to get a share of the profits.

So when Yuxing Electronics Entertainment launched Metal Gear, Suri Electronics immediately followed suit and developed its own stealth shooting game, imitating the stealth style of Metal Gear.

However, compared to the production quality of Yuxing Electronics Entertainment, Surui Electronics is always somewhat inferior.

After all, it's impossible for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to bring out all its best stuff and completely imitate the gameplay; it's impossible to create a work of the same quality in the same amount of time.

Zhuyouxing has foresight and knows how to develop in the most time-saving and labor-saving way without taking detours, while Surui Electronics can only keep trying.

Under such circumstances, the gunfight hero from Surui Electronics can only be of relatively good quality.

But Surui Electronics didn't care. They felt that as long as they put in enough effort in promotion, they didn't need to grab the biggest slice of the pie, but they could still make a living.

Moreover, relying on publicity, they might even fool a group of players who are unaware of the inside story.

Abbeston is currently facing a dilemma.

His grandson was very happy when he bought him a GSX game console and several games for Christmas last time, so he wanted to make the child happy again in the same way.

Abbeston looked at the promotional images on the TV. They looked really good; the war scenes were very realistic, making it a pretty good game.

He had previously seen that the game graphics from Youxing Electronics Entertainment were quite similar to this.

“Then I’ll buy this one,” Abston said to the waiter.

The waiter smiled broadly and said, "Okay, sir, I'll pack it up for you right away. May I ask if you have any of our game consoles? If not, I can offer you a great discount on a game console."

"Game console? I think I bought one last year, but it wasn't from your company."

"Oh, sir, that might not work. You'll need to use our game console to play this game."

Abbeston frowned: "Isn't a game console just a medium? I thought it was like a CD player, you could just buy one and be done with it."

The waiter immediately shook his head: "Of course not, sir. Game consoles and CD players are not quite the same."

"Alright then, I'll buy another one of your game consoles."

Abbeston made a gesture as if to take out money.

However, just then, the sound of an announcement from the department store suddenly came from afar.

"Dear users, I am very pleased to announce that the latest video game from Youxing Electronic Entertainment, Metal Gear, has been restocked. Interested customers can purchase it at any time."

As soon as the broadcast ended, Abston saw some young people who had been lingering in the Surrey Electronics sales area immediately run out, looking as excited as if their sons were about to be born in a delivery room.

One, two...

Abbeston looked up at the outside of the shop and saw that many people were already running in the same direction.

Are they going to buy some new game?

Abbeston asked curiously.
