All in all, Zhu Yuxing does not intend to break his own rhythm, and he will continue to develop and promote game consoles at his own pace.
But at this time, several game development teams should also start to get busy.
If you have a game you are developing and it is nearing completion, then finish the work at hand first.
But if the game development at hand has just started or is not long in the middle of development, then transplant it if it can be transplanted, and suspend project development if it cannot be transplanted.
This time is different from previous game console releases.
In the past, the enemy's competitiveness was not very strong. Only relying on some strong first-party game lineups could defeat them.
But this time, Suri Electronics was clearly in a menacing mood.
Two game consoles were promoted at the same time, and multiple first-party games were released. The capital they invested this time exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars at least.
The research and development cost of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's new handheld console is more than 200 million US dollars. This is only if Zhuyousing can point the way, otherwise it will consume even more funds.
Fortunately, he is now a large enterprise with several billion dollars in deposits, so he can afford this kind of investment in development.
Moreover, he was straight-talking and had absolutely no problem telling us how to invest. There was no need to negotiate or argue with anyone at all, and the development was very smooth without any delay.
Zhu Yuxing raised his head and said: "Airi, your engineering department is now going all out to manufacture a few more engineering prototypes, and then put into production a development kit that is convenient for game development. Next, we will develop
All the focus is put on the new handheld console.”
Then he looked at Minoru Matsuhashi, who was meeting remotely via video conference.
Minoru Matsuhashi currently controls the engine development team and the prototype development team for some of the large-scale games planned for the future.
"Matsuhashi Minoru, the engine team needs you to keep in touch. We need them to continue optimizing the engine. Isn't this just the time when Surui Electronics shared their latest game data? Then it's a good time to learn.
.”
Zhu Youxing is really glad that he determined the licensing rules of the game engine in the first place.
Any company using Unreal Engine must share all development data with the engine team free of charge.
This kind of sharing is also to enable engine development to be faster, just like in the chip field, forming an absolute data monopoly, so that latecomers can only look up.
The people who signed this authorization rule basically didn’t understand the importance of data at first, because this thing is also easy to imitate in a strict sense, and there seems to be no need to keep it secret, but Zhu Youxing, who came from later generations,
People attach great importance to the importance of data.
One set of two sets of data is indeed nothing, but once the data reaches a certain exponential level, it will have a completely different effect.
When Surui Electronics develops games, it also shares a full set of game development data with the engine team.
This is Zhuyouxing’s back garden.
The engine team can indeed quickly iterate the game engine through these, and then provide better services to users.
But Zhuyouxing is equivalent to having the data of other game companies for free, and the feeling of having it for free is indeed very satisfying.
These data can be a help to the game development team of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
"Also, do your recent new teams have any ideas for new games and new gameplay? If so, they come up with ideas, and as long as I think they are good, I can give them as much as they want without setting anything.
upper limit.”
With the assurance of Takeyusei's words, Matsuhashi Minoru was obviously more confident.
Previously, she had already attracted a game development team of more than 400 people through continuous recruitment.
In the United States, a game development team of more than 400 people is truly a super team.
This kind of team has also helped a lot in previous game development.
This time, Zhu Youxing is going to hand over the free authority of game development to these people, and also intends to test these people's ability to develop games independently. They cannot always rely on him to provide inspiration, they have to find ways to create inspiration themselves.
OK.
"I understand, I will do it now."
Matsuhashi Minoru was very excited and wanted to execute it immediately.
However, Zhu Youxing stopped him directly: "It's already night over there, go and sleep for me, or else I'll deduct your salary."
Takeyusei doesn't want his right-hand man in the United States to die suddenly. Matsuhashi has saved himself a lot of things. He is really a very good employee, no worse than a man. This kind of person Takeyusei must take good care of.
Matsuhashi Minoru also felt warm in his heart, "This kind of boss is worthy of being followed."
So Matsuhashi Minoru agreed, but she still planned to prepare well that night and all night long.
As for other departments, they have also been assigned different tasks by Zhu Youxing.
The heads of various departments immediately took action, and this time Youxing Electronic Entertainment entered a very fast-paced state.
A few days later, in the president's office at Surui Electronics, Ueto Hayakawa was looking at the latest company performance report.
After reading it, he raised his head and looked at his friend Aiden, the current general manager of the US branch, who had been waiting for some time.
However, now, in addition to being the head of the American branch, Aiden is also the vice president of the head office. His status is second only to Hayakawa Ueto, and he can be regarded as Hayakawa Ueto's most direct member.
Now, in addition to being in charge of US affairs, Aiden has also been the long-term head of the video game business unit. The head of this business unit is one level higher.
"Aiden, how is the promotion of our latest game console going?"
Aiden could act very casually in front of Hayakawa Ueto. He crossed his legs and leaned on the chair and said comfortably: "It's very good. The response on the Internet is very strong, especially in Europe and the United States. They are very interested in high-definition game consoles."
welcome."
In the United States, players are more willing to accept games with better graphics. In Japan, there are still trade-offs between graphics quality and gameplay, while players in the US market are much simpler and more straightforward.
As long as you give me a game with similar gameplay but great graphics, we will be willing to pay for it.
Anyway, we Americans are not short of money. As long as you dare to do it, we dare to buy it.
Now through an online survey of players' expectations, American players have responded very strongly.
Everyone said shut up and take my money, we want to buy these two game consoles now.
Hayakawa Ueto is also in a good mood. It seems that his strategy is good. Sure enough, the excellent graphics can attract more players.
At this time, he had to thank Zhu Youxing. If he hadn't been willing to license the Unreal Engine, they wouldn't have been able to develop a game with excellent graphics and not too bad gameplay in such a short period of time.
Although the price is high licensing fees and data sharing, he feels it is still worth it.
"So, what about the reaction from Yusei Electronic Entertainment? Do they have any reaction to the new products we released?" Hayakawa Ueto asked again.
Hearing Hayakawa Ueto's question, Aiden calmed down his comfortable expression slightly, and then said: "They didn't have any reaction, which is really abnormal."
