Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

The other two consoles rely more on top-notch graphics and production quality to compete with the Switch; they have no hope of competing on gameplay.

Aside from the somewhat subpar graphics of its games, Nintendo had virtually no weaknesses during this period.

Many people have said that if Nintendo were to upgrade the performance of the game console to another level, giving the Switch graphics comparable to the PS4, it would be a crushing defeat for other game consoles of the same period, and sales would likely surge even further.

However, Nintendo had experienced a huge failure at that time and dared not easily venture into more fields. Sticking to the Switch itself seemed wiser, and it turned out they were right.

Nintendo has only so many game employees. If they rashly increase the performance of the game consoles, they will also increase the workload of the employees. The result may not be very good.

Increasing workload is tantamount to stifling creativity, so Nintendo's choice at the time was probably not wrong.

However, the industrialization of the game industry developed at a frighteningly fast pace.

In the original world of 2017, the game industry has greatly improved the realism of graphics, and the efficiency of game development has also increased significantly, making the Switch's graphics look worse and worse. In 2017, the game console was still quite good.

However, these are problems that Star Entertainment does not have.

Today, Star Entertainment has more than 10,000 employees worldwide and is now moving toward 20,000.

These are mostly real game developers, not the tens of thousands of employees that some other tech companies have by combining complex technology departments and projects.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has over 10,000 game development employees.

With such a large workforce, there's no need to worry about Nintendo's problems at all.

Chapter 827 San Andreas

827

A tune with a touch of European and American street style began to play leisurely.

During the live Stream, a Black man wearing a white tank top and jeans came into view.

One of the classic characters, Carl Johnson, also known as 'CJ', has finally appeared.

This is a game that Takeyusei has wanted to announce for a long time.

Now the team finally has the capability to fully develop all the features of this game, and with high-quality graphics, it looks even better than the game that Zhuyouxing remembers.

"Huh? This seems to be a modern game." Players were quickly drawn to the black character.

In the video at this moment, the black man is standing on a street, and judging from the appearance of the street, it should be a standard street in the United States.

This is a timing screen from the game.

"Hello everyone, thank you so much for watching our latest game demo. This time we've explored a new game IP series, which we call 'GTA' (Gran Turismo). We hope you enjoy it."

Another new IP?

Hayakawa Ueto raised an eyebrow.

This Bamboo Star really loves to explore.

Even with so many series of works under my belt, I still create all sorts of new IP works.

If this were any other company, they would probably have been resting on their laurels and living off their past achievements.

It must be said that in this respect, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has never disappointed.

In the comments, the voices that had previously questioned the game console have gradually diminished, and people have become attracted by the visuals of this brand-new series of games.

"We call this game GTA, with the subtitle San Andreas. In this game, we have almost recreated an American city."

"We have a map larger than any previous game, and this map is not the kind of somewhat empty world found in traditional RPGs, but a truly interactive world!"

"The protagonist in the game is called Carl Johnson, or CJ for short. He comes from a family on the streets of the United States. After years of wandering, he finally returns to his family, and the adventure begins... Oh right, this should not be called an adventure, but rather a way of life."

In the video, CJ starts running through the street.

Few players spoke at this moment; they were all captivated by the brand-new game visuals.

For some Americans, this is like living in a real game.

The streetscape in the game is so incredibly realistic.

Make them feel disoriented.

"In this world, you can do anything you want."

"For example...driving?"

In the video, the CJ protagonist walks up to a car.

"Of course, the cars on the street aren't necessarily the main focus, so what would you do in that situation?"

"We certainly wouldn't do that in real life, but you can try it in a game, so why not?"

In the video, CJ cautiously looked around, then decisively used his elbow to strike the car window, quickly opened the car door, and climbed inside.

"Is this... a car theft?"

"This is really... interesting!"

Some people's eyes lit up.

In their daily lives, they are, of course, a group of law-abiding people.

However, even law-abiding people sometimes have a desire to try things that are not legal.

Otherwise, some harmless crime movies wouldn't be so popular.

In the movie, they could only watch the protagonist do some illegal things, but they didn't really experience it.

But this game is different.

This game allows you to control your character to do anything.

Soon, CJ, the protagonist in the video, successfully started the car parked on the roadside and began to drive freely through the streets.

"As you players have seen, this is an incredibly realistic game world. There are streets and traffic lights here. Of course, you can run these traffic lights, but you can't do that in real life."

The car started driving on the street and soon passed through a street with traffic lights.

The players were speechless.

The game's graphics aren't particularly impressive, but the immersive experience it provides is something I've never felt before.

It's so close to reality.

In the past, almost all games were based on various fantasy stories.

Go defeat the dragon, go defeat Bowser.

If we're talking about truly realistic games, then sports games are probably among the most realistic.

However, none of these games offer the same level of freedom as this one.

"In this world, you can do more than just these things; you can also be a law-abiding citizen and make money in your own way."

"You can drive a taxi."

The video cuts to CJ already driving a taxi and stopping next to a hotel. The passenger gets into the car, and then the protagonist needs to follow the instructions to go to the designated place.

"You can work in a restaurant."

The video switches again, and CJ is now dressed in a chef's outfit, trying to cook based on a simple QTE feedback button mechanism, or washing dishes on the side.

All of these can bring financial returns to the protagonist.

"You can also enjoy life in this world, for example, by playing football."

Switching to another video, CJ reappears in a street soccer field, running and playing soccer with several other characters.

"And basketball."

The scene changes, and CJ starts playing basketball.

"Fishing, racing, swimming, hunting."

The game screens kept switching, showing the functions of each gameplay mode.

As more and more features were added, the players' expressions of surprise became even more undisguised.

"This...this is exactly like real life! Does anyone really enjoy living in a game world like this?"

Among the group of people watching the Direct presentation inside the Mike F. Smith office, someone spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

Myron Case didn't say much, but he had similar thoughts in his heart.

The only exciting thing about this game, which is almost indistinguishable from daily life, is probably the ability to do illegal things at will.

But honestly, he didn't find it funny.

Compared to this, he actually prefers Tetris.

Tetris is truly a god in his heart, the only place he is willing to sincerely admire Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

"You can also play other games in this game, such as Tetris."

The scene shifts again, this time CJ arrives at an arcade, where a Tetris machine is prominently displayed, and the protagonist can pay to experience some simple games.

These games are all classic titles from the early years of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Myron Case: ...

You can play it like this?

Playing games within games?

Chapter 828 Release of Multiple Games

828

It's like starting a whole new life in this so-called San Andreas.

This is a very novel feeling for many people.

Before this, no one really thought about what a truly open world would look like.

It seems they've found some clues.

Zhu Youxing... he has big ambitions. Is he planning to create a world that is almost real directly in the video game world?

Hayakawa Ueto's thoughts immediately began to wander far ahead, and he vaguely felt that this seemed to be a very promising direction.
