The last and most important segment was Sony's introduction of the PS console's first game lineup.
Although Sony had said a lot about the PS console, it was only enough to make the professionals scream. It was not enough to impress the gamers. What the gamers really cared about was the first game lineup for the PS console.
The first game that appeared was a racing car that sped through the city at high speed. This was the famous "Ridge Racer" from Namco.
After seeing this game, everyone turned to look at the CEO of Namco. The CEO smiled and looked at the guests. He nodded at them, but there was not much of a smile on his face.
Of course, it was hard for Namco's chairman to laugh. His "Mountain Ridge Racer" had appeared in the starting lineup of PS. This would definitely make Nintendo extremely angry. All of Namco's games in Nintendo's camp would probably be taken off the shelves immediately. Namco would lose a large amount of income. Only God knew if Namco could withstand this pressure.
Of course, since Namco had chosen to join the first lineup for the PS console and become the first third-party game developer to challenge Nintendo, Namco had placed all their bets on the PS console. As long as the PS console could overtake Nintendo's FC console, Namco had made the right bet. Namco would win the next 10 years of development.
In Namco's eyes, the PS console would definitely beat the FC console. Just based on the hardware data, the PS console was a hundred times better than the FC console. Whether it was the game's content or the game's graphics, the FC console could not be compared to the PS console.
As the saying goes, once the PS console was launched, no one would be able to compete with it. The PS console will be the winner!
The CEO of Namco said to himself firmly in his heart. Then, a smile appeared on his face.
Then, there was Tekken 1, a game from Sega. It was originally an arcade game, but it was unexpectedly ported to the PlayStation. Similarly, it was also a game produced by Namco.
Seems like Namco had decided to join Sony.
Then there's A-Train, Legend of Doujin, Bane of Sin, ESPN Extreme Sports, Shatuoman Snake, Blood Maze, Numbing God, NBAJAM, Tennis 3D, Project Thunderbolt, Rapid Reload, Rayman, Street Fighter Live, TAMA, Total Eclipse, Anti-Gravity Racing.
Most of them were games developed by the United States, but the most eye-catching ones were Fusang's local game developers.
In addition to Namco, Konami, Capcom, ARTDINK, etc., who were originally Nintendo's best players, had all appeared in Sony's PlayStation Games camp.
Out of the 8 companies that were loyal to Nintendo, 4 of them had joined Sony. Everyone had the same thought: Nintendo is finished this time!
After announcing their game lineup, Sony started to invite all the game developers around the world to join them. At the same time, Sony announced their conditions for third parties to join them.
First, Sony announced that they will be more lenient with third party game developers. As long as the game passes the game's performance review, which is the BUG review. There are also laws and regulations that restrict the game's release. For example, 18 + games can be released on the PlayStation platform. This made many small third party companies excited.
Next was the production of the game discs. Sony and Nintendo were the same. Both of them had to pay for the CD discs. But compared to Nintendo's 1,000 Yen, Sony only charged 200 Yen, and this included the cost of the CD itself. Sony was very generous.
Lastly, Sony will be splitting the profits with the game developers. It's different from Nintendo's 55%. Sony will get 73% of the profits. Sony will get 30%, and the remaining 70% will go to the game developers.
Other than that, Sony also announced that they will not restrict the release of other versions of their games. That means if the game developers are willing, they can release their games on Nintendo's platform.
Of course, it was impossible, because these were all 3D games. The Nintendo F&C couldn't run these games at all!
The conditions given by Sony were a stark contrast to Nintendo. Nintendo was taking all the risks and had strict restrictions.
No wonder Nintendo's third party game developers, like Konami and Capcom, had defected to Sony. Sony's conditions were too good.
Imagine this. Sony's games are 100 times better than the other party's, and the conditions are much better than the other party's. These third parties hated Nintendo for being overbearing. How can they let go of this opportunity to rebel?
All the guests knew that a storm is about to happen in the gaming industry. Everyone was trembling with excitement. This is much better than the war between Daqian and Sony!

"Mr. Jia, why is Daqian's game not included? I thought that your classic works would also appear on this list! " Capcom's President, Kenzo Yamamoto, was sitting beside Boss Jia. He had an evil smile on his face as he asked Boss Jia.
"No need!" Boss Jia smiled. Boss Jia felt bad for Kenzo Yamamoto because he had taken away Capcom's most popular actress, "Tomb Raider". That's why he did not mind Kenzo Yamamoto's mockery.
"Why is there no need? Don't tell me Mr. Jia can't see the bright future of PS and is willing to tolerate Yamauchi's arrogance? "Kenzo Yamamoto said angrily. It seems like he had been holding a grudge against Yamauchi for a long time.
"Well, you actually called Yamanouchi senpai a smelly old man, I will definitely pass on this to Yamanouchi san!" Boss Jia said with a smile. Genzo Yamamoto's face immediately turned ugly.
If these words really reached Yamauchi Hiroshi's ears, Kenzo Yamauchi would definitely be killed by the other party.
"Hmph!" Kenzo Yamamoto slammed the table and stood up. "I didn't expect someone who looks so powerful to be willing to be someone else's dog. Hua Xia people will always be Hua Xia people. You can't change your nature!"
"Slap!" Before Genzo Harimoto could finish his words, a clear and crisp sound rang out from his face. Then, the left side of Genzo Harimoto's face immediately turned red and swollen.
After three seconds, Genzo Harimoto finally reacted. He covered his face with his hands and let out a tragic cry.
