"Looks like President Akimoto has to admit one thing, and that is that all the characters I just showed are the characters from your upcoming Resident Evil game!" Boss Jia said calmly.
"These characters were designed by Capcom from the beginning to the end. They have nothing to do with you Daqian. You are despicable thieves!" Akimoto Kenzo said angrily, but he admitted to Boss Jia's words.
"Well, since there are so many people in the audience today to be our witnesses, why don't we have a confrontation here? Why don't we take out all the characters involved in the game and compare them? "Boss Jia said.
"Let's do it, you lunatic!" Of course, Akimoto Kenzo couldn't refuse at this time, because if he refused, it would mean that he was guilty. So, Akimoto Kenzo said a few words to his secretary, and his secretary immediately ordered people to bring the original art of several characters from the Resident Evil game from Capcom.
However, because it took time to travel from Capcom to the show, the show began with a rare commercial in the middle. After waiting for more than ten minutes, and the curiosity of the audience was at its peak, Capcom's information was finally sent over.
Therefore, the characters from the Resident Evil game series from both sides appeared on the screen one by one and began to be compared.
Then, the audience was surprised to find that the similarities between the Resident Evil game that both companies claimed to be developing were unimaginably high.
Among the 12 main game characters announced by both parties, 9 of them were highly similar. Among them, the male and female protagonists were almost exactly the same without any difference. When the pictures of both parties were put together for comparison, one would realize that other than the slight differences in color, style, and strokes, there were no other differences. They were basically the same thing.
Well, if a comparison had to be made, the Daqian characters looked better and gentler.
"President Akimoto, I have another suggestion. Why don't we use 100 words to write down the game's plot summary and show it to the audience in front of the TV to see if we copied the game's plot!" Boss Jia suggested.
"Let's write!" Akimoto Kenzo's eyes turned red when he saw that the two companies' characters were almost exactly the same. Both sides began to write the game's plot summary directly on the show.
After waiting for about three minutes, the 100-word plot was written, and then both sides showed their own plot to the camera at the same time.
Jia Yapeng: In the United States, a crisis occurred in Raccoon City. There were deaths of unknown causes. A special forces team was ordered to rescue another missing team, but they accidentally entered a terrifying mansion full of zombies. When the truth was revealed, the Umbrella Corporation behind it.
Ben Hsien III: There was a crisis in Raccoon City in the United States. A large number of zombies appeared. Under the leadership of Captain Wilson, a powerful special forces team was trapped in a terrifying mansion. It wasn't until the moment the truth was revealed that they discovered the terrifying shadow of the Umbrella Corporation.
Good heavens, when both sides showed their profiles, all the audience gasped in shock.
This time, not only were the characters the same, even the name of the city and the name of the final boss were the same.
In the hearts of all the audience, the matter was very obvious. After all, one of the two companies was plagiarizing the other. At the very least, they had completely copied the game's character settings. This was the most shameful thing.
As for who was copying who, it was up to both sides to prove themselves.
"You actually stole everything from us, and you didn't even let go of the plot!!" Akimoto Kenzo was really angry. This Jia Yapeng had stolen his character design, and now he even stole the most important plot. Would they steal the core game mechanics in the future?
"You're the shameless ones!" Jia Yapeng was also extremely angry. "I must expose you today, and let everyone know that Capcom is a shameless plagiarist company!!"
"That's what I wanted to say too!" Akimoto Kenzo gritted his teeth and said. The smell of gunpowder between the two sides was extremely strong.
"Alright, then I have a question to ask Mr. Akimoto Kenzo. When can your Resident Evil game be released to the public? Can you play the game normally?" Boss Jia asked coldly.
"The earliest would be in the middle of 1996!" Akimoto Kenzo immediately answered without hesitation. This was also the time in history when the Resident Evil game was released.
"Hehe, then it seems like you're not copying fast enough. Our Resident Evil game will be officially available for sale in February next year. Our game has already been completed, and I can even directly take out the complete demo version for everyone to try. This can prove that Resident Evil is our game!" Boss Jia said proudly.
"What, Capcom actually copied Hua Xia's game!!" After hearing Boss Jia's words, all the audience started to suspect Capcom.
It was obvious that the plagiarist's research speed would definitely not be as fast as the original developer's research speed. Therefore, the original game would definitely be faster than the plagiarist. Resident Evil should be a Daqian game!
"That's impossible, how can your research speed be faster than mine … I understand now, you're cutting corners. Our game has a full 10 hours of story, dozens of different monsters, various combat styles, and 3D effects. All of these require a lot of time to complete, and at the same time, it's a game that can only be represented by an outstanding game console like PS!"
"You must have made an inferior game. This game isn't even 3D, it can only run on FC. Therefore, you plagiarists' research speed would definitely be faster than ours!!" Akimoto Kenzo was not stupid and immediately retorted.
"Hehe, whether it's true or not, I'll show you a video of the game, then you'll know!" Boss Jia snapped his fingers, and his secretary sent another CD to the director. Then, under the expectant gaze of the audience, the live game of Resident Evil finally appeared in front of the audience.
Although these character models were simple, crude, and ugly to the extreme in the eyes of the people of the year 2020, in the eyes of the audience in 1994, these character models were simply exquisite to the extreme. They had completely surpassed the pixelated characters in 2D games. At least they looked like real people.
At the same time, the combat scenes of these characters were very smooth, with all kinds of shooting, fighting, and monster effects. It was so intense that it was almost explosive.
Many of the audience had the urge to immediately buy such a game and run home to play it for ten days and ten nights. This game was just too perfect!
It was bullsh * t to say that such a game was inferior. This game was the new benchmark for 3D games, it was a high-quality game that had never appeared in the entire era!
"Baka, Jia Jun actually hid such a treasure, I must make him release it on our F&C!!" Yamauchi was excited when he saw the game.
On the other hand, Idei's face was trembling. This game was just too perfect, if it could be released on PS, then Nintendo would definitely be beaten to a pulp.
Damn it, how did I become the Daqian Group's opponent?!
