Chapter 667 Research and Development Progress of Somatosensory Equipment
If you buy waves, you can’t just buy one game, right?
Then it doesn't make sense to buy a host.
I will definitely buy a few more models, such as Microsoft's own "Gears of War" and "Haven" series. Should I post it?
In this way, Microsoft's goal has been achieved. After all, the Tomb Raider series also has a large number of fans.
For example, the transformation of Tomb Raider 9, in fact, Tomb Raider 9 is the player's own statement, because this is the ninth part of Tomb Raider, but in fact, the official has never said it on any occasion that it is Tomb Raider 9, and it has not been written in any posters or posters.
Their statement is the new Tomb Raider.
Because this is the first work after the reboot of the Tomb Raider series, it completely abandons the previous Tomb Raider style and learns comprehensively from the "Underworld" series.
The core of the previous Tomb Raider series was puzzle solving, while the core of the new Tomb Raider was action adventure.
This is essentially different.
Of course, judging from the demonstration of "Tomb 10", which is the new "Tomb 2", eidos not only went to the "Underworld" development team to study, but also went to the "Doomsday of the United States" development team to study for a while. Otherwise, there would be no reason why this game would be able to absorb the advantages of the two games so similarly.
The sales of consoles are what Jester is most worried about in the future. No one is confident about the release of consoles in every generation.
Although Sony's P4 sales later became unstoppable, and even in the first quarter of 2015, sales were even greater than that of all other consoles. However, before the official release of P4, Sony people dared not say that their consoles could be bought well.
Just like Shuhei Yoshida, someone else was interviewing him and asking him why ps4 can sell so well.
And Yoshida Shuhei said this strangely.
"We don't know why so many people buy ps4, and we wonder where these people came from."
In fact, every console is released in this situation. The last console has an advantage, which does not mean that you can still have an advantage this time. It is very likely that not long after the console is released, offense and defense will be easy to do.
After watching the development of hosts in the next era, Jester did not leave the hardware development center. Because the most secret project currently underway is not the development of a new host, but a development team that has been secretly carried out for five years and is not large in scale.
There are not many people in the entire Mars Entertainment who know that this development team is code-named Plan.
There are no more than five people in full swing.
Even at the internal group meetings every year, the group is secretive about the public statements.
However, every time Jester comes to the hardware development center that is not with Mars Entertainment headquarters, he will personally take a look at the development team of the entire group's most mysterious plan to learn about the situation.
There are not many people in this development team, only about thirty people.
For a hardware development team, this number is not very high.
However, everyone here is the most famous somatosensory equipment expert in the industry. The development project that this development team, named the plan, is the somatosensory equipment on home gaming consoles. This is a plan that Jester started five years ago.
The planners did not express any surprise when they saw Jester's arrival. They did not even express any special expression.
They continue to do their own things.
Jester just looked at it casually, and then he met with the person in charge of the plan, Dr. James, who had previously conducted somatosensory research at Stanford University, who was so powerful that he had dug up at a high price. Dr. James nodded and went to his office with Jester.
The conditions for the plan are very relaxed, and Jester did not arrange any R&D requirements for the development team.
On the contrary, the people in this development team receive the highest salary, the best treatment, and the most stress-free job, but no one dares to take it lightly.
When each of them joined the development team, they signed strict confidentiality clauses, prohibiting any content about the plan to the outside world. Moreover, the assessment within the plan is very strict. If the people in the plan development team fail to meet the assessment requirements within the specified time, the person will be expelled from the plan team.
Although I will still have a good job in the hardware development center of Mars Entertainment.
However, salary will drop by half directly.
This is something that no member of a development team wants to see.
“How is the research and development?”
Jester didn't go around in circles. When he saw James also came to the office, he asked straight to the point.
Although Dr. James was a professor at Stanford before, he had been with Jester for a long time, so he knew Jester very well. After hearing Jester's question, he was not dissatisfied with it. He just smiled and shook his head.
"If we want to reach the level of somatosensory you mentioned, we may have to continue to develop at least ten years. However, the somatosensory equipment we developed on Dream Wave 3 has been very smooth in close combat. It can basically be guaranteed that the somatosensory equipment we matched for him will be released at the same time as Dream Wave 3 is released..." When he said this, Dr. James paused for a moment.
Then I added a sentence.
"However, although our somatosensory equipment is currently no match for other game companies, it still cannot meet what you said and can give players a perfect experience."
Hearing Dr. James' answer, Jester was also a little disappointed. Although he had expected it, he would read the development report carefully every time of the plan. Therefore, he still knew very well what the progress of the current plan could be achieved. Basically, it was roughly equivalent to the level of the original world in his memory, in the late 1990s.
"It seems that the plan I want to start promoting somatosensory on DreamWave 3 is not possible."
Jester sighed.
"actually……"
James actually wanted to say the previous sentence. Although their current body feeling is not as smooth as Jester requires, it still has a good effect when it is added to their next generation consoles. Judging from their own experiments, many people will like this very special game method. (To be continued...)
