Akihabara Pioneer Road Chapter 82: 【The trust of Hideo Kojima! ]


Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.

The subway had already left Ginza Station, and Linda did not get off.

He changed his mind - he continued to take the Ginza line to the RB bridge, and then the Toei Asakusa line to the Asakusabashi!

Go directly to SMK Tokyo Branch!

According to the previous progress, the new fighting game LOF, which I participated in research and development, should have entered the end of production.

Before, Kojima Hideo also sent himself several emails about the game character information and move descriptions, as well as the setting values ​​of battles and various indexes. Linda has also responded one by one according to his own ideas - the characters have basically been finalized, and in addition to the fighting characters he is familiar with, he has added the knight "Kui Naifeng" and the mysterious fighter "Tramman". Kui Naifeng is designed according to the real name of Kuei Naifeng in reality, and has obtained the authorization of his office "Da Tian" - this is inseparable from Kui Naifeng's own cooperation and struggle in business negotiations. Of course Linda also knew the tacit understanding between the sympathetic heroes here.

As for the "tram man", Hideo Kojima himself strongly requested to be added. One of the reasons is that he wanted to break through the limitation of "fixed characters and fixed moves" in traditional fighting games, and wanted to add such a "the way of the other". The all-around fighter who returned him". According to the settings in the game, "Trolley Man" has a hidden command combination that can instantly switch to the same move mode as the opponent, but with increased strength and damage. The corresponding compromise is to consume the full rage and gas gauges, and can no longer summon teammates.

In fact, the same is true of the real "Trolley Man".

When Linda was involved in the game production at SMK headquarters a few times, the actions of the Chinese martial arts, classical wrestling, muay thai, taekwondo and other fighting skills that were invited to participate in the motion capture were not done properly. Hands-on motion capture correction!

The fighting movements that Lin Da also made are more infectious and expressive than those of professional fighters in some respects. The movements captured by the sensors are just right for the viewing of the game.

Including character design, clothing accessories, weapons and equipment, and great skills, Linda also added to play on the basis of his own memory. A detail, one hit into the soul.

Kojima Hideo sent such urgent news at this juncture, there must be some major news!

By the time Linda arrived at SMK's office, it was already noon.

When he sat down in his temporary seat, Miss Taguchi put a box of lunch and a bottle of warm green tea from the old-fashioned bento shop "Chagano" on his desk: " You have lunch first, Director Kojima is still in a meeting and will come to you shortly."

Just now Linda also replied to Kojima after receiving the news on the tram: He will be at SMK soon!

"Thank you!" Linda also thanked her, unscrewed the green tea and took a sip, and began to open the convenient chopsticks and grab the lunch box.

"How is it? Is the game production going well?" Linda also asked Miss Taguchi while chewing.

"It's not bad overall. It's just that there are some details that seem to be different between the senior management and Director Kojima." Taguchi said with a frown.

"Is that so?" Linda was also thoughtful, but the chopsticks in her hand picked up faster.

"Oh, Lin Sang is here?" Kojima Hideo walked over from the conference room in a hurry, sat next to Lin Daye, and opened the laptop in his hand.

"Uh, uh..." Linda, who was eating so much, could only say hello.

Kojima is happy: "It's okay, you can eat first, just listen to me!"

He opened the demo program and tapped the computer's keyboard. I saw that after the quick flashback of the opening animation, I entered the fighting fighter selection screen. I saw that the Host side and the Guest side each had an undecided shadow waiting for the cursor to select.

Linda also stopped chewing and looked at the island in surprise.

"What about the creative mode of three-on-three team fighting we agreed?" Several grains of rice fell from Lin Da's mouth.

Kojima nodded and said, "As you can see, the top management of SMK still wants to continue the traditional single-player fighting game. I have been persuading the bosses of SMK for an hour just now, but they are still afraid I'm afraid to say that there is no other fighting game in the world that is a team battle. The company has high hopes for this game, and they came to this conclusion from the perspective of risk control..."

Lin Da also closed the lid of the lunch box with a snap, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "Kojima-san, do you still have the three-on-three demonstration program? Come, let's go to the room and call Everyone, the more the better!"

Lin Daye's tone was firm and his words were sonorous and powerful, and no one could refute or question him.

Watching Lin Daye's every move, how could Kojima not know what Lin Daye was thinking? For the sake of the game, he and Lin Da also had a sense of trust and tacit understanding that made people forget about worldly affairs and surpassed the personnel organization. He nodded and gave Taguchi Rei a look at the same time, she immediately understood, and began to contact the contacts of each production department, asking them to inform their subordinates to temporarily stop their work and gather in the room together.

Linda also asked the technical staff to connect the three-to-three demonstration program to the large projection screen in the room, as well as an external gaming keyboard.

He motioned for Kojima and himself to play a three-on-three LOF team battle game.

At this time, more and more SMK employees gathered in the room. At first, they chatted with each other and seemed to be participating in the most ordinary impromptu all-hands meeting.

When the big screen shows the demo screen~IndoMTL.com~ everyone's attention is gradually attracted to the game screen on the screen.

Kojima chose three characters, Kusamaru, Nikaidou Akamaru, and Daimon Goro, in Advanced mode.

And Linda also chose Yagami, Kuinaifeng and Tramman, Extra mode.

The fighting scene is in a museum with huge dinosaur skeletons, and lightning is thundering outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The room's Dolby noise-cancelling surround sound speakers are also hooked up to the gaming system, and an uplifting background rock tune fills the room.

Round_One! Ready? Go!

The first game of Kusaka Yukyo vs. Iori begins!

Kojima's Cao Yi clearly has the upper hand. "Demon Burning", "Arabic Bite", and "Putting through" and other moves frequently hit the Yagami controlled by Lin Daye, unable to fight back, barely able to parry.

SMK employees cheered for Kojima, and the scene started to get lively.

The meeting on the other side of the conference room just ended. SMK executives looked at the empty office and overcrowded room. They couldn't help but be attracted by everyone's cheers. They stood in the back row of the crowd and watched the actual fight on the projection screen. .

When Kojima saw the big bosses in the distance, he gave Linda a look, and Linda naturally understood it.

This game is an important opportunity for the world to grab its first pot of gold, and I, Linda, won't let it go easily! The biggest selling point of LOF is its powerful team battle mode. He has to convince SMK's executives to recognize this breakthrough, so as to successfully release this game, which has poured into Hideo Kojima and himself, as well as many SMK staff and Kui Naifeng. Waiting for fighting experts too much painstaking game masterpiece!

Win or lose!
