Game Market 1983

“What, what!? The real Dragon Emblem!! ”

A sudden follow-up announcement of the Dragon Emblem raised the mood of the chairman who had calmly sunk into the opera event and the streets without me.

Fans of Pentagon Soft began shouting in unison towards the screen.

When he heard the deafening shout, Kawaguchi blocked his ears for a moment and smiled at each other. In their explosive reactions, Kawaguchi and I whispered to each other.

“As expected, dragon emblems are quite popular overseas. ”

“This Final Frontier 6 will also be a hit based on the reactions of the gamers. ”

Later on, the promotional video lit up a cranky woman blowing a flute on a cliff, and by the time the lyrical flute's melody had subsided, there was a red-haired man holding up a piece of sword embedded in the ground...

He fits a broken blade into his hand and grins as he reveals his fangs.

A typical Pleasant-style man hops on a horse flying a red cloak and twists the harp, and a giant black horse, with a turret, lifts his front foot and runs through the sunset meadow.

After a while, the camera angle that was shining at him closely shifted back to the first person he was looking at to show that the red sunset was actually a fiery battlefield, and the short opening video of the Dragon Emblem Valiant's tomb ended.

And on the subsequent playback screen, people stared blankly at the new genre world again for the first time in their lives.

“What is it?

Dragon emblem 1, a new genre called Simulation RPG.

The first episode of Dragon Emblem 2 introducing a new element called Tactics SRPG with Character Growth and Multiplayer. A time of broken swords and darkness.

And finally, at the end of a long period of time, the genre of the grave of the second episode suspect was a 'turnaround strategy simulation’.

Based on similar genres...

Yeah, like "Warriors of Might and Magic"?

Players became Knights of the Dragon Emblem World and were able to multiply their territory and collect hidden artifacts throughout the continent.

An unexplored area marked in black reveals a picturesque 2D map every time a player passes by.

“This time around the World Map...”

“Upgrading your territory is like a three-national system. ”

Gamers who have been through so many genres so far seem to understand the new system of frozen dragon emblems just by playing.

The first users to defeat the dragons guarding the two towers in the book will appear as powerful heroes in this episode, and the red-haired man in the opening will be the leader of the Berserker Guild and the player who chose the Demon King's path, not the warrior. It was "The Black Horse King Osiris."

Thanks to the perverted sense of the name of the Berserker Guild leader, the Demon King's name almost became Osiris (buttocks), but the dramatic consensus on the name of Osiris, which was worshipped as the god of lions in ancient Egypt, led to its current name.

You had no idea that the playful character name was going to be a hero in the next book…

The new Dragon Emblem was originally intended to be made of portable Raon, but the capacity was too small to contain all of the world's vast spectacles compared to the original one.

I had a dream that I hadn't considered the current situation in the first place...

I wanted to draw the world of dragon emblems in a little more detail and broad. I was developing a tomb of bravery, and I'm running out of cartridges in Raon.

I felt.

The current cartridge capacity in Raon is about 64 mega...

Of course, this was twice the capacity of a super family rom cartridge, but the game I had planned had already exceeded that capacity.

However, I was unable to break up the second episode again, so I decided to release the second episode as the next one.

The development speed that had been supported by capacity and performance problems from the beginning began to stretch out cool like a sailboat hit by a hurricane.

The base of the Grave of the Valiant is similar to that of the ‘Might and Magic’ turnaround simulation, but once it encountered a continental enemy or other hero, it retained the gamesmanship of the Dragon Emblem using the Tactics combat method expressed in 3D.

The terrain of combat, expressed in 3D using polygons, was able to rotate the map 360 degrees, allowing it to explore hidden treasures or traps, which brought it to a fairly fresh shock for its users.

“The combat map is 3D, but the characters are 2D... They look great together without wearing a camouflage. ”

The dragon emblem's battle map impressed the users with the battle scenes of characters fighting on the 3D field because the structure was identical to the final frontier tactics to be released later.

“Wow, can one 3D effect really make a difference in the game? ”

Shigeru from Mintendo and Suzuki from NEGA were among those who gazed in awe at the battle of the Dragon Emblem.

Even the best current directors were fascinated by the cartoon rendering methods I showed in the street makeup version and the new way of expressing the old game system in the Dragon Emblem.

The moment when a spectator reacts in a combat way with a new world map.

A priest appeared in the dark, kneeling alone.

Seeing the video, Seegee responded first because she was dazed by the priest praying to God in an inviting manner.

“High Priestess Katrina? ”

- To save this world... full of war. Please give him one more chance...

A drop of tears fell to the floor from the edge of her slowly closing eyes, momentarily after.

A young man wearing a gauntlet with a metal ring appeared in the dark.

“Huh…? Is that from the time of King Kroel? ”

“Oh, my God, that's amazing.”

I don't know if my whole body is shaking at an event I didn't think of. The users just stared at the screen, breathing heavily.

Soon after the prayer, Katrina slowly raised her head. King Croel smiled and said to her.

- Katrina...

- Holy Father...

“Wow!!!! ”

The people at the conference were impressed by the cookie footage of King Croel's resurrection. Each of them began to utter a word.

“Yes, I knew this would happen. Somehow the protagonist died so easily...”

“Ah… so the heroes in episode one are also added to episode two? ”

“Oh, that gives me goose bumps. A street without me and a dragon emblem for the next generation. It's worth the money...”

After two videos, I walk to the center of the stage where the spotlight shines.

Lost.

“This concludes the promotion of the next generation and two works scheduled to be published simultaneously.

Next, before I introduce Raon's new game, the 32-bit retention console project, ‘com.

Let me briefly explain Fleet Raon ’. ”

If NEGA and Sensoni had previously introduced the device and added a description of the game, Pentagon's conferences, like Minten's, were conducted in a format that first demonstrated the performance of the new species and then explained what would be released.

On the stage, I made eye contact with the spectators for a moment before continuing with the explanation of the next generation of machinery.

“As you may have noticed, CES is looking forward to this year's conferences in gaming history. Minten and the NEGA, and Sensoni and our Pentagon. because there are four companies that are simultaneously announcing the new species. ”

“Starting with NEGA's Real Fighter, which opened up the horizon of 3D gaming first, the gaming industry has recently taken advantage of a whole new graphics that has never been seen before. And within that, what our Pentagon chose was a fusion of 2D and 3D. ”

“Opened last year in the theater, Jurassic Park showed extreme computer graphics. It also shocked graphic designers and programmers in the gaming industry. But it's hard to express graphics like Jurassic Park on a console right now. ”

Then a user who was listening to me disagreed with me.

“But the Sensoni Gear Station has almost identical graphics to the Tyrannosaurus in Jurassic Park. ”

In his words, I replied with a relaxed smile.

“So did the Tyrannosaurus move like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park? ”

Then the user shook his head to the left and to the right, exhaling a little elasticity.

“In fact, the graphics used in the game are slightly different from the computer graphics shown in the movie. There's a big difference between making a video according to the rules set by the director's intent and actually responding to your manipulation. Here's what I'm going to add to the description: ”

At the end of my speech, a giant Tyrannosaur appeared on the screen set on the stage.

“Huff!! The same Tyrannosaurus at the Pentagon...”

The Tyrannosaurus of 3D graphics, precisely expressed in polygons and textures, was not significantly different from that seen in Sensoni.

“Unfortunately, there's a overlap between what we have and what we have at Sensoni. So much so that Jurassic Park, which opened last year, had a huge impact on 3D modeling. ”

The ripple effect. I'm sure everyone here thinks so, but I asked Rob to do it for me before I came to CES because I knew Kurakagi in Sensoni was going to lie about modeling Tyrannosaurus.

“Like Sensoni, this kind of graphical representation is possible in the next generation of Raon. But intuitively moving this kind of quality modeling requires a lot more CPU specifications than we thought. And that's why Sensoni didn't actually make a move on Tyrannosaurus. ”

The spectators nodded slowly to my explanation and looked at Sensoni Booth.

Until now, the screen showing Tyrannosaurus represented in 3D was turned into a demonstration of the 3D fighting game, Temple.

“Yes. In fact, in order to intuitively respond to user controls, graphics like that should fit the performance of the gear station at the moment. ”

Then this time another user opposed me.

“So how do you explain the moving 3D Maridge that we showed you in Mintendo? ”

As I looked at the spectator without any answers for a moment, I slowly raised my microphone and opened my mouth.

“I've never said that the Tyrannosaurus that we've created lacks the capabilities to move. ”

At the same time, Tyrannosaurus, with his mouth wide open as if he were alive, trembled toward the audience.

“Khoo!!!! ”
