Chapter 148 The developers are panicking
Everyone was discussing, and realized for the first time that [Thunder Group]'s research and development strength is so powerful.
"These 16-bit game consoles are different. Look at the picture quality, it's simply shocking."
"Look at these parameters - three-core processor, up to 8MHz main frequency, 2M video memory, 8M storage..."
"What kind of concept is this? You know, the 8-bit computers of the Big Three only have a main frequency of 1MHz and a video memory of 2kb...it's not an order of magnitude at all."
"There is also game cartridge storage. The game consoles of the Big Three only support a maximum of 128kb, but [Thunder Games] directly expands to a minimum of 16M."
Everyone was very excited.
As game developers, they know better than anyone——
With this kind of configuration, as long as the requirements of the development environment are not too high, countless wonderful games can be made.
And because the cassette storage has been expanded hundreds of times, they no longer have to worry about memory problems, and can turn many inspirations in their minds into reality.
certainly--
What they don't know yet is.
Even the "ultra-large memory cassette" that makes them so happy right now still makes 【Tempest】dissatisfied.
16M, 32M, 64M...
Originally, the first generation of "Street Fighter" was probably within 2M.
But the [Storm] team kept improving, adding too many elements and easter eggs, and upgrading the picture quality and special effects layer by layer.
In the end, the game that was originally only 2M in size was abruptly made into 104M.
Fortunately, this is the [arcade] version of the cassette, if it is a home machine... don't even think about it.
A 104M game requires at least a 128M memory card.
And the current cost of this kind of cassette... is at least five hundred yuan or more.
In addition to the equalization of game development costs, transportation costs, operation and promotion costs, and profit margins... All in all, such a cassette will cost at least 1000 yuan.
1000 yuan for a game?
Players will never accept it.
and so--
Large storage game cartridges can only be used in the [arcade version], not the [home version].
According to cost calculation——
For future 16-bit video game consoles, the cassette should basically be controlled within 16M.
For most of the games that are used to drive sales, the memory cassette is controlled between 2M, 4M, and 8M, so as to reduce the price.
……
"Then the question is—"
Someone suddenly asked: "When will we be able to develop games on consoles?"
"This……"
Everyone read the magazine over and over.
Throughout the entire interview, there was nothing about "inviting game developers".
"Could it be that you plan to produce and sell it yourself?"
Someone couldn't help but said: "Think about the [Thunder Group]'s work style, the whole system is self-produced and self-sold, this time entering the game industry, shouldn't it be like this?"
"That's unlikely, is it?"
"The game industry is different from other industries. It relies on creativity, but it cannot be mass-produced. Tian Moyun should understand this truth."
"Hard to say."
"Look at the interview content in the magazine—"
"With the launch of the game console, there are only three games in the first batch. Except for the upgraded version of "Happy Cube", I have never heard of the names of the other two, but you are the manufacturers of these two games."
"They are [Happy Game Company] and [Storm Game Company]"
"The former is the predecessor of [Lei Ting Group] and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary, which is of great significance."
"The latter is a top game development team that has just been fully acquired recently."
"These two manufacturers have one thing in common, they are all members of [Thunder System]."
"And in the interview, there was another sentence—"
"In the next batch of lineups, there will be sequels of "Super Mario" and "Contra", which are also [Thunder System]."
……
Everyone looked at each other.
If [Thunder Group] really intends to do game development by themselves, then they are afraid...
"Wait for the next news."
"Which of you can contact [Thunder Group]? Help me find out."
"It's best to have a big newspaper, ask someone to do an interview, and ask about it by the way."
"It's hard to get the chance to get rid of the Big Three, but don't be happy for nothing."
……
It was a matter of personal interests, and these people also tried every means, and finally contacted a major newspaper, hoping that they could do an exclusive interview with Tian Moyun.
In this regard, the major newspapers have discussed it for a long time——
It was finally decided to go for an interview and send a reporter who had several contacts with Tian Moyun.
The good name is: the face is familiar.
……
Tian Moyun is handling group affairs in the office.
Su Qiong was sitting on the sofa in the rest area, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, and several documents were placed on the table.
The main content of these materials is about the next strategy of [Thunder Arcade].
It was also Tian Moyun's thought, the best way to promote [Thunder Arcade] as soon as possible.
【Thunder Contest】——
Elite players from all over the country are invited to participate in the competition, and a large number of ordinary players are invited as spectators to open the first prosperous world exclusively for video games!
To be honest-
Su Qiong was a little shocked.
The emergence of video games has been mixed in the understanding of the masses.
Some people think that this is a good leisure product, which can be used to relax and soothe the mood after work.
Some people also think that this thing will stop children from studying seriously, it is social garbage, and it should be banned.
And in this case——
Tian Moyun directly brought up the concept of "national competition", and even deliberately made it a top-level event comparable to the World Games.
Soo-joon knows what that means--
If we say that the self-developed [Thunder LT-S] has made Tian Moyun a great contribution to the country.
Then, once the [Thunder Contest] starts and is turned into a top event by him... the public influence it will create will be even more shocking than the former.
……
It's just that such a first-of-its-kind thing is not so easy to do.
Everyone says that the first person to eat crabs is very rich.
In the shaping of the media, "the first to eat crabs" has become a synonym for luck. It is believed that it is just a business opportunity that was discovered, then started a business, and finally succeeded.
But actually--
This is not the case.
What does it mean to be the first to eat a crab?
It means that you are walking a road that no one else has traveled.
You don't know if the path is right or wrong, and you don't know what to expect if you keep going.
good luck?
Or it could be bad luck, the kind that loses everything.
Without knowing anything—
Going out of a way and being the first to eat crabs requires not only luck, but also courage, and... courage.
……
"Can the national video game competition really work?"
Su Qiongdai frowned.
I wanted to go home and ask my father Su Hanlin for advice, but after thinking about it, I gave up.
After all, this is one of the biggest trump cards of [Thunder Game], the highest level of commercial secrets.
now--
Su Hanlin and Li Tenglong also want to join the game industry.
If this kind of whimsy is learned by them, it will be a huge loss to [Thunder Game].
"I'll ask him later, anyway, I must not let my dad know."
The little girl thought so in her heart.
She completely forgot that if Su Hanlin took this opportunity to make money, her wealth would also increase.
All she knows is—
Tian Moyun trusted her so much, she definitely couldn't let her down.
As for Su Hanlin?
Where is cool, where to stay.
