152. New Games

On the second day of the Game Awards, many players gathered in front of Zhanlong’s booth after studying the strategies for yesterday’s TV show, preparing to conquer Blue Dragon’s trial mission. But what they didn’t expect was that Zhanlong actually changed the gameplay today.

, directly took out the Dragon Ball game and told players that they can only try Blue Dragon after passing the first level of Dragon Ball.

This makes many players feel depressed. If the fist hits the cotton, what about the promised Blue Dragon trial?

However, some players also reacted. Zhan Long never said that he would try Blue Dragon all the time, okay? After all, there are only about 10 trial booths, and they also discovered that Konami’s game “Seven Treasures” appeared in Zhan Long’s booth.

"The Goonies". But what makes Konami a little embarrassed is that players don't seem to buy into the masterpiece they have high hopes for, and would rather wait a little longer to play the Dragon Wars game.

Su Butong had anticipated this a long time ago and had told the person in charge of Konami in advance that players have the freedom to choose their own games. However, Konami has to accept the sentiment of Zhanlong when putting its own games on Zhanlong.

.

What is Zhan Long doing? Some players were angered by Zhan Long's practice of playing cards that did not follow the routine, and vowed never to play Zhan Long again, because Zhan Long clearly toyed with players' feelings.

However, after playing the Dragon Ball game, these players who said they did not want to play it all showed off to the players who were still waiting in line behind them about the Dragon Ball game they played with Amway themselves.

"This is definitely the most fun action game I've ever played."

Other players also saw the Dragon Ball trial on the big screen. Since two people can trial it, although the trial time has increased a bit compared to yesterday, the queue time is basically the same as yesterday.

When it was around 11 o'clock, the reporters' flash lights suddenly increased. Su Butong didn't have time to observe what the reporters were doing, but focused on some feedback from players. He had a more important game conference in the afternoon.

To start, some game release plans for the whole year must be announced.

As the flash came closer and closer to Zhan Long's booth, Su Butong discovered that the Foreign Minister of Japan was walking over accompanied by a European-American man with brown hair and blue eyes. Compared with the height of the Foreign Minister, he looked like an adult and a child.

The height difference is average.

An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to the exhibition hall early and said to Su Butong: "The Consul General of Red Rakshasa is here to visit the game. He named you to come to your place. You must receive him well."

Su Butong was a little surprised. The consul of Red Rakshasa came to reward the game? These things are not close to each other.

But I still gave the order and asked the staff to prepare.

After a while, the Foreign Minister came over accompanied by the consul. Su Butong greeted the consul at the door.

The consul general asked in a somewhat loud Japanese dialect: "Are you Su Butong?"

"I am."

"You opened a game company in China?"

"Yes, it's called War Dragon." Su Butong said.

"Our country also welcomes businessmen like you to invest. We also have professional talents who can jointly engage in development cooperation." The consul general said, "China and we are partners in the same camp. We can also do things that capitalism can do.

It can be done." The consul said.

A sense of absurdity arose in Subudong's heart. This sense of absurdity seemed to come from the irony of life, especially the official's tone of voice, which was a little too familiar.

However, Subudong was also a person who had experienced a big scene. He did not show what he was thinking, but showed a flattered expression: "In this case, I naturally want to go to the great country of Red Rakshasa when I have the opportunity.

Take a look and look for opportunities for us to cooperate.”

"We are always welcome. I wonder if your latest game is available. I want to take it back to my children to play?"

Su Butong asked someone to take the burned demo cassette and said apologetically: "It's true that we don't have the cassettes for the new game, but you can take these demo cassettes with you."

The consul seemed a little dissatisfied, but he also knew Nintendo's strategy for producing cassettes, so he didn't say anything more. Instead, he left his contact information for Su Butong.

Su Butong didn't know what the consul wanted to do, so he stuffed the business card into his trouser pocket without thinking about it.

Zhan Long took advantage of this opportunity and sent invitation letters to the media who followed the interview in the morning, inviting them to attend Zhan Long's game conference in the afternoon.

The media is quite interested in press conferences, so they all agreed to attend such a press conference.

After the consul left, Su Butong announced that the top 50 players who had cleared the level the fastest in the morning would also be invited to attend the game conference.

Although they didn’t know what the game press conference was like, players heard that there were only 50 places, so they all tried their best to show off their skills in the game.



As the time for the afternoon press conference approached, Su Butong built an additional temporary boardroom outside the venue. He set the venue for the press conference not far from the exhibition. In fact, he wanted to make it convenient for the media and players.

At two o'clock, the press conference officially began. Zhanlong first played a promotional video, cutting the CG of the Blue Dragon and Dragon Ball games into a 5-minute video.

Although it only lasted for 5 minutes, the people who loved playing games were excited and eager to get the game and start playing it right away.

Nakamura Masaya came uninvited. He wanted to see what tricks Zhan Long could do. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation like last time on the TV station, he brought a TV media that had a good relationship with Namco to let the media

Keep the camera focused on him throughout.

"What kind of press conference is held by Zhanlong? It's a joke. They already have two games announced. Where can they go to release a new game? This kind of thing would make us at Namco feel embarrassed, because we

If you are self-aware, you will not tell the media again what everyone already knows!" Nakamura said unceremoniously to the camera.

As expected, in front of many media, Su Butong spent about ten minutes introducing the system innovations of Blue Dragon and Dragon Ball, which disappointed the media who were interested in hearing what Zhan Long would release.

However, this disappointment did not last for 5 minutes. The entire scene, especially the players, seemed to be surprised.

Because three strange cute creatures appeared on the screen.

"Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur", a brand new world appeared in front of everyone.

"How is this possible?" Nakamura was stunned. He just said that Su Butong had no new ideas, but when he turned around, Su Butong came up with another game. This game was so complete that it was captured from the video.

You can see it on the game screen.

Su Butong focused on introducing the game called "Pokemon": the elf ball capturing system. Although it is also an RPG, compared with the Blue Dragon system, this game is more lightweight. Su Butong also said

After checking the number of monsters in this game, all monsters can be captured, and the captured monsters can complete evolution under certain circumstances.

Su Butong took out a picture of Charmander's evolution: Charizard, "It's similar to this..."

And there is a picture in which only the silhouette of the monster can be seen, which is labeled: mythical beast

After the introduction of the game, there was a sigh of relief in the venue. Who would have thought that Zhan Long in China could develop three games at the same time.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Su, why is this game not released in the Game Awards, but the news is announced specifically in the form of a game conference?"

"Because there is a consensus within Zhanlong that this "Pokemon" is not a game suitable for the current era because it still lacks some necessary conditions. And its birth is also an accident, which was unexpectedly thought of when planning Blue Dragon.

An idea that evolved into such an anachronistic game."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I don't understand that such a particularly fun-looking game would be 'out of date'. What is the missing thing you are talking about?"

After listening to the reporter's words, Su Butong said with a smile: "The reason why it is called so is because the name of this game is "Pokemon"... If there is a handheld game console, then this game can take full advantage of running on it.

However, when the game has been developed, we always feel that if such a game is developed but not released, it would be disrespectful to the staff and players who have worked hard to develop the game. We should give the choice to the players instead of us deciding whether it is good or not.

Fun.”

Su Butong's words aroused the good impression of many viewers present. Under the camera, Nakamura's face changed again and again. He didn't know why he was slapped in the face every time he came to a conclusion for Zhan Long. Or was it a slap in the face?

That kind of.

"So what? War Dragon's games can only be released on FC, because their graphics are incomparable to the graphics of Namco's arcade games." Nakamura gritted his teeth and said to the camera, and everyone in the industry could tell.

, Pokemon is worthy of its name as a monster, the graphics are already the ultimate for FC, and every FC function is squeezed out in the game screen. This is probably because Battle Dragon is supported by Nintendo’s own enhanced chip (and this chip is Battle Dragon

Developed based on Nintendo's production line, and borrowed from Nintendo's own production line for production.) Coupled with the widespread use of battery memory technology, these new technologies have led to the birth of three new games. But even so,

Nakamura still wants to criticize Zhan Long, saying that the game graphics of Zhan Long are nothing if placed on an arcade machine.

"...In the second half of this year, Zhanlong will launch an arcade game called "Street Fighter"..."
