Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 509: The World's First Interactive Streaming Motion-

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but perk up!

The key point had arrived.

By now, they were already "thoroughly familiar" with Golden Wind's ga formats and styles.

Next.

As the hosts of this Higashitsu Gaming Festival, they were also, without a doubt, Golden Wind's "prey" at this exhibition.

Kora really should be asking themselves where their path lies.

After all.

This wave of offensive from Golden Wind was just too brutal!

"...We must find our own core selling points to have a chance of standing toe-to-toe with Golden Wind," said Kojima, who had just delivered a fierce analysis.

"Hmm..."

However, before his words could even finish, Yuma Ohashi, the successor to Moriya Tetsuya and currently Kora's Executive Director of Ga Affairs, hesitantly raised his hand:

"Perhaps this is a bit abrupt, please forgive , but I still want to say—why must we engage in a head-on confrontation with Golden Wind?"

Back when Golden Wind wasn't this strong, we still couldn't beat them!

Now they're like a freaking "Devastator (the robot ford by multiple Constructicons combining in Transforrs)," why do we have to go looking for that kind of trouble?

Now that we've confird they're making a dark fairy tale horror-thriller ga, can't we just avoid them?

Let's do sothing with less risk!

Soccer, rally racing, even conventional shooting gas!

The three major categories—guns, cars, and balls—Golden Wind hasn't touched any of them this ti!

A vast market is waiting for us to conquer!

Why must we stubbornly fixate on picking a fight with Golden Wind?!

However!

Seemingly seeing through Yuma Ohashi's concerns, Seiichi Nakamura slightly frowned, then waved his hand:

"The current situation does not allow us to deliberately avoid Golden Wind."

"If this were E3, Cologne Gascom, or the CJ Exhibition,"

"Director Ohashi's idea would be perfectly fine, except for the Higashitsu Gaming Festival."

"But unfortunately, this is the Higashitsu Gaming Festival."

"Whether from the perspective of public opinion, Vivendi, or from players to investors, countless eyes are watching us."

"If we retreat at this mont,"

"What awaits us will be a significant discount in market confidence and sluggish stock prices and market value."

"Uh... this... this..."

This statent rendered Yuma Ohashi completely speechless.

Was Seiichi Nakamura right?

Of course, there was no problem.

Historically, among the four major ga exhibitions, apart from the Cologne Gascom in Germany having a stronger comprehensive nature, the performance of the host at the other three major exhibitions is the most closely watched.

Look at CloudPower at the Los Angeles E3, look at Golden Wind at the Huaguo CJ Exhibition, look at Kora at the Tokyo Ga Expo.

The host's performance can even, to so extent, affect the developnt montum and investor confidence of the manufacturer group for the entire year ahead.

So, Seiichi Nakamura was not wrong.

They needed to gain an advantage in this exhibition, in the contest with Golden Wind, to rebuild market confidence and secure more resources from Vivendi.

But the problem was—!!!

Yuma Ohashi opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to speak out.

He really wanted to ask President Nakamura—have you considered the possibility of us failing again?

Avoiding the fight might indeed have a slight impact on our capital value.

But what if we get knocked down by Golden Wind again this ti?

You have to know!

Starting from "Silent Hill P.T." three years ago!

Our Kora hasn't gained the slightest advantage against Golden Wind!

Although not as miserable as Illusion Engine not long ago, we've still been on a continuous decline, a steady downward slide!

So far, just layoffs, we've already done three rounds!

If we suffer another defeat this ti!

I'm afraid even our once-proud three [Peak Studios] will be affected!

Have you thought about that?

Perhaps Seiichi Nakamura has.

Yuma Ohashi guessed.

But in the end, Nakamura still chose to take a risk.

Apart from wanting to fight back for a chance to turn things around, more of it ca from pressure from the upper echelons of Vivendi.

"We will also make a horror-thriller type work."

With one sentence!

Seiichi Nakamura established the main tone of the new ga!

Unquestionable, autocratic, and dictatorial!

Seeing the boss speak like this, even if Yuma Ohashi was still worried, he couldn't open his mouth now.

Sighing inwardly, he turned his gaze to Takasugi Isao across the table, wanting to ask about his attitude with a look.

However, Takasugi Isao's eyes seed sowhat distracted at the mont, as if thinking about other things. He didn't show any reaction to Seiichi Nakamura's autocratic decision, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

And right at this mont.

Tap, tap, tap—

The sound of Seiichi Nakamura tapping the table, along with his words, pulled the distracted Takasugi Isao back:

"Then next, please let Team Leader Takasugi introduce to us the advantages brought by the new generation of [Safety Valve Technology]."

"Ah? Ah! Oh, oh, oh—yes,"

Hearing his na called, Takasugi Isao snapped back to attention, cleared his throat with a thoughtful hum, and began:

"As everyone knows, the [Neural Safety Valve] is a technology that our Kora has always been dedicated to researching and advancing,"

"And in this KMN-4, the new generation safety valve has also passed testing and can be perfectly adapted..."

In principle, the [Neural Safety Valve] technology didn't seem worthy of being touted as a selling point.

Safety, right?

Who would make the safety of their motion-sensing pod a special selling point for a major promotional push at a ga exhibition?

Therefore.

"Safety" was never the main promotional point of Kora's technological upgrade this ti.

The most impressive aspect of this technological upgrade actually lay in its [Universality].

You have to understand.

Current motion-sensing pods, due to their unique connectivity and unparalleled imrsion, inherently have certain requirents for users.

Users with conditions like "heart disease," "asthma," "epilepsy," "severe motion sickness," and other illnesses are identified during the motion-sensing pod's startup scan and testing.

Even psychological conditions like "depression" and "PTSD" can be judged and screened by the motion-sensing pod through partial testing and accessing networked dical record data.

Therefore, the universality of motion-sensing pods has always been relatively low, which is also one of the reasons their market penetration is lower compared to PCs.

But!

With the advent of the new generation [Neural Safety Valve] technology upgraded by Takasugi Isao's team!

The universality of motion-sensing pods will see significant progress!

The self-adjusting neural safety valve can automatically set critical thresholds based on the physical and ntal state of different users,

allowing many patients suffering from such conditions to experience the stimulation and imrsion of motion-sensing pods within an absolutely safe range!

Of course, extrely severe cases still won't work; those critically ill patients who might keel over from a simple clap in front of them are still denied access.

But even so!

The universality of motion-sensing pods will be greatly enhanced!

And this!

Is the core selling point of the [Neural Safety Valve] technology improvent—

Let more people experience motion-sensing pod gas!

This is a killer move to fundantally increase the sales of manufacturers' gas and supporting equipnt!

Simultaneously, it is also the confidence behind Seiichi Nakamura's willingness to confront Golden Wind head-on!

The custors you can attract, I can attract too!

The custors you can't attract, I can still attract!

This is our brand new generation of [Neural Safety Valve] technology!

It will lead motion-sensing pods into an era of "suitability for everyone"!

"...That's basically the situation,"

After finishing the introduction, Takasugi Isao looked at Seiichi Nakamura and gave a slight nod:

"President Nakamura."

Without a doubt, this was a very powerful technology.

Increased universality ant preemptively capturing a broader blue ocean market.

If, at this ti, it could be paired with even stronger technology and unparalleled imrsion...

Takasugi Isao's thoughts drifted again.

It seed a massive virtual world suitable for everyone was already within reach.

Hiss—

Speaking of which...

Takasugi Isao rembered the [Made in Heaven] that was still being discussed on industry forums a few days ago.

This company was originally used to secretly acquire Illusion Engine.

But unexpectedly, after the acquisition was completed, this company wasn't imdiately rged into Golden Wind's parent group. Instead, it changed its registered location back to Huaguo, simultaneously altering its company na and slogan.

Visual Rendering

Physics Simulation

Artificial Intelligence

Sound Reverberation

Network

Security and Stability

Reality Augntation

Like a secret code, the slogan listed all the most core technical modules of a ga engine.

There were rumors that the reason [Made in Heaven] was preserved and triggered this series of major information changes was because Golden Wind was preparing an extrely terrifying and colossal plan.

There were even so-called "internal leaks" suggesting that currently, Golden Wind had already transferred so core elites from its three major studios—"Golden Experience," "Steel Chain Fingers," and "lancholy Blues"—moving their affiliations into [Made in Heaven], and had begun selective recruitnt to attract top-tier ga industry talent from around the world to join.

Regarding this, Golden Wind had maintained silence.

Even when he personally called Moriya, all he got was Moriya's ambiguous answer: "Trade secret, inconvenient to disclose."

God knows what kind of terrifying project they were planning to create.

Takasugi Isao was very curious.

He even wanted to go to Huaguo personally to ask Moriya face-to-face, to get to the bottom of it.

This curiosity was like a woman's long hair accidentally slipping into one's underwear, making one restless and unable to sit still.

So much so that he hadn't paid attention to the main content of the eting.

He only caught fragnts like "horror-thriller genre," "rebooting the Silent Hill IP," "global network simultaneous online," "player-voted developnt choices," and other snippets.

And finally, at the end of this entire morning-long eting, the grand na of the new work that Seiichi Nakamura finalized with a decisive slap on the table—

"Excellent! This will be an unprecedented innovation! A ga form never seen before, and it will perfectly align with our core selling point of higher universality!"

Seiichi Nakamura seed very satisfied, even a bit excited:

"Since the situation has reversed, then let Golden Wind see our resolve in adversity, see the innovation in gaplay that belongs to our Kora's Nakamurai Studio!"

"I announce the project initiation of the world's first interactive streaming dia motion-sensing ga, the project is nad—"
