Chapter 278 E3 Storm

The sign erected on the side of the booth reads: "DreamBox128 host magical function three: perfect compatibility with PS game discs
14 years ago, NES (Nintendo Entertainment System, the American version of Nintendo's red and white machine) became popular, and people gradually accumulated a lot of NES cassettes in their hands. Later, SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the American version of Super Nintendo) was launched, so NES Cassettes are out.Ten years ago, Genesis (Sega MD US version) became popular, and people gradually accumulated a lot of Genesis cassettes. Later, the Saturn game console came, so Genesis cassettes were also eliminated.

More than four years ago, the PS game console was launched, and now it has become the most popular home game console in the world. I believe that everyone has accumulated a lot of PS game discs in their hands.Now that the DreamBox128 console is coming, will PS game discs be eliminated?
Don't worry, the DreamBox128 host with kernel-level emulation function can perfectly run previous PS game discs, and even individual special games will have picture enhancement features..."

Next to the sign is something that looks like a home game console. It is connected to a large-screen TV and is automatically demonstrating a game. If Aoyama Akihiro can identify it carefully, he should be able to recognize that it is "The Final Game", which has only been on the market for a few months. Fantasy 8", and the picture of the game is much more delicate than that shown by the PS game console.

Aoyama Minghong didn't have the time to distinguish what the game on the TV screen was at this time. After reading a few lines of words on the sign, he almost turned his nose in anger, and now only "unexpected but Besides 'Bleem!', there is such a bold company", he managed to calm down a little, but he saw the logo of "DreamBox128" on the thing that looked like a home game console, which made him feel The anger rose again, and the thing in front of them turned out to be the DreamBox128 mainframe that had been blocked for them at the Tokyo Game Show in spring.

Not caring about being alone and alone, and not even having the time to care whether Ye Shan behind him could keep up, Aoyama Akihiro squeezed out from the crowd, pushed aside the people who were watching in front of the big-screen TV, and pointed at the TV screen. The hanging "PS Game Disc Compatible Function Demonstration" sign roared angrily: "Who is responsible here, who is responsible here!"

At this time, Ye Shan also followed up, and shouted in line with Aoyama Minghong's actions: "Who is the person in charge, come out quickly!"

The duo had just barked a few times when a young man who appeared to be stronger walked up and waved his hands. Before the two of them could come back, they were chased away like flies, and only said "I don't want to look aside!" Go, don't hinder others from watching!"

Aoyama Akihiro and Ye Shan were unwilling to be driven away like this, but after comparing the thickness of their thighs and each other's arms, they still chose to "transfer" wisely, planning to find another place to find the person in charge of the DreamBox128 host Guys, if the opponent's body shape is not too prominent, they will definitely defend Sony Computer Entertainment's rights and interests, and they can justifiably ask the official staff of the E3 exhibition to cooperate.

Turning around and about to change places, a kind-looking young Asian man appeared in front of the two of them: "Gentlemen, were you looking for the person in charge just now?"

"Yes, we are looking for it." Aoyama Minghong looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Are you the person in charge here?"

"That's right, my name is Chen Yuehan, you can call me John." The visitor stretched out his hand and said kindly.

Aoyama Akihiro's complexion suddenly darkened, he held his hand, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Since you are the person in charge, can you explain why you use PS game discs to display your products?"

As a subordinate, Ye Shan stood behind Aoyama Akihiro and did not speak, but he also had a hostile face, looking at Chen Yuehan in front of him, his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was comparing the thickness of their arms.

Chen Yuehan looked at the two guys who were obviously looking for something, and was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but he replied with a normal face on the surface: "This question is easy to explain. Our DreamBox128 host has a PS game disc compatibility function. The game on the disc can be played directly, so we will take a "Final Fantasy 8" disc to demonstrate, and you can rest assured that this is definitely a genuine disc."

"Hmph! Compatibility of PS game discs? Who approved your development! Who allowed you to own it!" Aoyama Minghong became excited as he spoke, and shouted at the young man in front of him: "You are blatantly infringing on patent rights. , we will apply to the court for an injunction, and you must compensate us for our losses!"

"Yes, stop immediately, or you will lose money!" Under the traction of his breath, Ye Shan couldn't help roaring again. Of course, the more important reason may be that he found that his arms seemed to be slightly thicker than that of the young man. little bit.

Chen Yuehan looked at the two barking guys in front of him disdainfully, and his tone became tough: "This is our commercial secret, and there is no need or obligation to explain it to you, but I can tell you one thing, we have a patent in this area authorized."

"Impossible!" Aoyama Minghong didn't believe it at all. Sony Computer Entertainment had never authorized the patent of the PS game console to outsiders. He walked a few steps forward, wanting to join hands with Ye Shan to seek some justice and come back.

But then four or five staff members surrounded him, and the 2-on-1 advantage immediately turned into a disadvantage of fighting more with less. Aoyama Akihiro stopped slowly, and after observing the situation , he pulled the wild mountain, turned and left, but before leaving, he also said a harsh word: "You wait and see, I will find someone to judge now!"

"No guts, huh!" Chen Yuehan, who had put on a posture and got ready, snorted coldly in his heart, turned around and greeted the onlookers with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's okay, let's continue."

The duo ran several hundred meters in a panic and slowed down. Ye Shan asked Aoyama Akihiro worriedly: "Director Aoyama, what should we do next?"

Akihiro Aoyama glanced back at the huge exhibition area not far away, and said bitterly: "Let them be proud, huh! Let's go find George and Matt. I believe the official staff of the exhibition will definitely support our appeal. , like before at the 'Bleem!' booth."

"This minister is really wise!" Ye Shan immediately echoed with a smile on his face, just like his habit over the years.

……

"Matt, have you heard? It seems that there is another great game console called DreamBox128." On the way to the office, George Wood enthusiastically showed off to his friend Matt Beamon Listen to the news.

Matt Beamon was not surprised at all, obviously he was not ignorant of this: "Oh, DreamBox128, of course I heard, the performance is quite powerful, and it is also compatible with previous PS game discs. George, if If you change to a new game console, your previous collection will not be wasted."

"However, I heard that Sony's PS2 seems to be compatible with previous PS game discs, and the performance of DreamBox128 seems to be comparable. I don't know which one to choose." George Wood sighed worriedly: " What a contradiction!"

"If you want me to say, DreamBox128 is more reliable. After all, there are already actual things on display, and the game demos I saw when I passed by their booth just now are also very rich. It's not like Sony shouting louder than anyone else, but the actual The only game that can be played on the Internet is a broken racing game. To be honest, it is not as attractive as the sports game on the Sega Dreamcast console. Besides, it is also compatible with PS game discs. I found that DreamBox128 is better than the legendary one. PS2 is better, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m also demonstrating the Final Fantasy 8 PS disc, and the picture on DreamBox128 is obviously more delicate and perfect…” Matt Beamon talked eloquently, like an avatar As a reviewer for game consoles, the tendency is quite obvious.

"Then according to what you said, between DreamBox128 and PS2, you must choose DreamBox128." George Wood, who was dazed by Kan, asked back.

"Well, it's hard to say now." Matt Beamon pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said deeply: "After all, the final price has not yet been determined. If the prices of the two are similar, I will I will definitely choose DreamBox128."

The two walked into the office while chatting, before they could do anything, suddenly two people rushed in and even forgot to knock on the door in such a hurry.

"Mr. Wood, Mr. Beamon, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Aoyama Akihiro bowed and asked with a smile on his face.

George Wood frowned, and said angrily: "Mr. Qingshan, we went to the 'Bleem!' booth with you just now, and they also promised not to use PS game screens for demonstrations. What else do you want?"

Aoyama Akihiro originally wanted to express his request directly, but seeing George Wood being a little indifferent, he thought for a while and came up with a good idea: "Mr. Wood, you misunderstood, it is not the booth of 'Bleem!' , We just happened to find that another company is also using our Sony PS game for demonstrations. We wanted to negotiate directly with the other party, but they ignored it. Even when we mentioned your name and Mr. Beamon, the other party And deliberately mocking us. I can bear to ignore us, but even Mr. Wood and Mr. Beamon don't care, they are simply too much."

"What, there are people like this!" Matt Beamon on the side was furious. After all, this is their land, and it's really embarrassing for someone to dismiss them.George Wood's face was also flushed with excitement. Although he didn't spit out any radical words, it was obvious that Akihiro Aoyama's goal had been achieved.

Three people, George Wood, Matt Beamon and Aoyama Akihiro, plus Ye Shan who was following behind, rushed to the blind booth that Aoyama Akihiro was talking about. More than ten minutes later, they used The huge exhibition area to display the DreamBox128 host once again appeared in front of these people.

"This is the place where their so-called DreamBox128 host dared to use our Sony PS game "Final Fantasy 8" to demonstrate it. This is simply not taking Mr. Wood and Mr. Beamon seriously." Akihiro Aoyama Looking at the booth not far away, he said with righteous indignation.

But Aoyama Akihiro’s words seemed to be given to the air, and he waited for several minutes without hearing the response from George Wood and Matt Beamon. He couldn’t help turning around and asking in doubt: "Mr. Wood, Mr. Beamon, you... ..."

The expressions on the faces of George Wood and Matt Beamon had changed into bright smiles at some point. Akihiro Aoyama was confused. He didn’t know why these two were so happy. If he could hear the voices of others, I believe his face will be more exciting than now, because what George Wood is thinking in his heart at this time is "This damn RB guy, he came here to talk nonsense, I really think everyone is as easy to bully as 'Bleem!'!"

The smiling George Wood and Matt Beamon walked towards the booth where the DreamBox128 mainframe was being displayed. Akihiro Aoyama’s mood gradually became cheerful. In his opinion, they would definitely cause some trouble for each other, and by the way It can also wipe out things related to PS games. In short, let the other party see that Sony Computer Entertainment is not so easy to mess with.

It was getting closer and closer to the other party's booth. At first, John Chen seemed to have heard something, and he took the initiative to greet him.The two sides stopped at a distance of seven or eight meters from the booth. John Chen turned his back to the booth and looked at the people who came over. The expressions on his face seemed to be uncertain. George Wood and Matt Beamon were facing the booth. , looking at John Chen in front of him, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, Aoyama Akihiro stood behind, the smile on his face became more and more cheerful, Ye Shan, who had no sense of existence, ended his trailing state, and evaluated the relationship between the two sides The comparison of power, "4 vs 1, complete victory", he began to become eager to try.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, causing the clothes and hair on both sides to flutter slightly, and the atmosphere in the air became subtle. Even the visitors queuing up and watching around noticed it and squeezed to the side, trying to stay away from this right and wrong place.

The silence was broken in an instant, George Wood took a big step forward, and swung his left hand out in a mysterious arc, aiming at John Chen in front of him...
