Chapter 806： suddenly see the light

Chapter 806 suddenly enlightened

806

During the farewell ceremony, Hayakawa Ueto and Take Yusei talked for a long time.

Even Hayakawa Ueto himself never thought that he would chat with Take Yusei for a long time.

The main content of the conversation was still related to video games. He remembered the suggestion made by one of his subordinates to increase the number of game developers and try to develop more standard industrialized games.

Originally, he was hesitant. Even after playing Assassin's Creed, he was amazed at the completion and production cycle of the game, but he was still not sure whether this development mode would work.

Apparently, Zhu Yuxing would be a good person to consult.

In this regard, Zhu Yuxing did not hide any secrets at all, and he simply explained all the characteristics of industrial development very clearly.

Because the industrial development of games is to be large enough.

He can't support it alone.

In the original world, there were seven or eight companies with more than 10,000 employees that could barely support the entire game industry.

The number of people must be large enough.

Looking at Hayakawa Ukito's tangled and eager appearance, Take Yusei seemed to have guessed something.

If a large company is not in the stage of crazy expansion, it is not so easy to recruit people on a large scale.

I don’t know how many companies are eager to reduce their employees, and Suri Electronics is probably in this state.

Hayakawa Zhiren is probably also under a lot of pressure.

But Zhuyouxing couldn't help it, it was their own family's business.

But suddenly Zhu Yuxing thought of a way.

"Hayakawa, if you have a headache because of recruiting employees, I have a compromise, just go buy studios directly, they have mature game development experience, buy a few more people to make up isn't it?"

"Acquisition of studios? This is a way, but there are probably not many studios that meet the standards. If there are, they may be from all over the world."

"You want nearly a thousand employees to work together?" Zhu Yuxing asked.

Hayakawa Ukito nodded and said, "Of course, do you need some people from all over the world to develop games together?"

"Why not?" Zhu Yuxing asked rhetorically.

Hayakawa Zhiren was taken aback.

"To put it bluntly, video games are a bunch of data composed of 0s and 1s. These data are not like physical industrial products. If they are not centralized, there will be a lot of logistics costs, but digital products do not need to consider those, why can't they be all over the world? employees to develop games together?"

Hayakawa Ueto stood there dumbfounded, feeling as if a new world had been opened up.

He really never thought about developing games all over the world before.

Mainly because few companies in this world have done this

Youxing Electronic Entertainment still has most of the teams to develop games together.

But in reality this is not necessary.

It’s just that Zhu Yuxing has not acquired studios on a large scale, and the recruitment of employees was initially mainly concentrated in the United States and Japan, but in the future, it will inevitably embark on the road of developing games with multiple studios.

Hayakawa Ukito is now trapped in the constraints of other top executives in the company. It is not so easy to expand the staff, but the way to save the country through the curve of acquiring a studio is much more logical.

"Bamboo Tour, if it is this multi-studio model, is it possible to develop a game like Assassin's Creed?"

Take Yuxing said: "It's not possible, but it can definitely be developed. The game itself is not difficult to develop."

Is    really not tall?

Hayakawa Zhiren is seriously suspicious.

I'm afraid that this is not high is just for Zhu Yuxing himself. If other people want to develop such a game, it will definitely not be so easy.

But this should at least make the development of the game a lot easier now.

Hayakawa Ukito took a deep breath and calmed himself down gradually: "Zhuyou, thank you very much for your suggestion. Without you, I might have more detours to take."

Zhu Yuxing waved his hand and said: "I'm just saying this by the way, and now we should be considered as some kind of alliance, because we have a common enemy, don't we?"

"Common enemy?"

Hayakawa Ukito was puzzled for two seconds, then reacted immediately, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, we do have a common enemy."

Myron Keyes attempted to erode the soil of video games with other forms of entertainment.

Then let him understand the charm of top games.

Myron Case expands by mass production of smart products, then video games counterattack in a similar way.

…

Hayakawa Kentaro's farewell ceremony ended, and Surui Electronics also became active again.

Hayakawa Ueto himself began to personally contact a number of well-known game studios around the world, and discussed acquisitions and stakes.

The top management of Suri Electronics was initially against it.

But they were soon persuaded.

Because Hayakawa Ueto personally showed them the social repercussions of Assassin's Creed.

This is the most standardized industrial game template. Hayakawa Ueto is confident that as long as there are enough people, he can develop works of similar quality.

And this kind of work belongs to drought and flood and guarantees income. It will not lose money, but also can make a small profit or even have a chance to make a lot of money. With the repeated assurances of Hayakawa Ukito, the plan to acquire the studio soon passed the green light all the way.

However, these are still in the confidential stage, and will not be revealed in a short period of time. It is not to be kept secret from the game peers, but to Mickford, in order to make a surprise in the future.

Even the handheld business that had been shut down has been quietly restarted.

On the side of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, Zhu Youxing has also begun to plan the next step.

The formulaic game has proven its success. Next, there will be a dedicated team of 1,000 people who will continue to launch works in the form of New Year's goods to maintain the popularity of this series of works. As for Zhu Yuxing, it is naturally impossible for him to be idle.

There are already two new goals on the giant whiteboard in his office where he usually plans for the future.

First and foremost is the research and development of the switch, and Zhu Yuxing hopes to release it as soon as next year, and then another new project.

One particularly prominent word on the whiteboard: Cinematic Narrative Benchmark.

The formulaic sandbox game already has Assassin's Creed. After this series of works has cultivated talents, you can plan for a bigger work, but before that, there is another type of game that also has the time to launch, which is the cinematic narrative. game.

Take Yusei has tried to promote cinematic narratives in Metal Gear and several other games before, and has also used real stars to star in them, but these are not full versions of cinematic narrative games.

Looking at the word filmed narrative game benchmark, Take Yuxing picked up the pen and wrote the name below:

"Uncharted"
