"No, it's not like that!" Kenzo Ishimoto was really anxious, because he realized that the game's graphics released by Daqian was actually similar to the Biohazard Crisis in the R&D center. Kenzo Ishimoto didn't feel good.
"I understand now. You're a big company, and you have a lot of people. After you get our data, you can invest ten times or even ten times more people to develop the game. That's why you're progressing faster than us!" Kenzo Ishimoto forced himself to explain.
"I can take out our development records. It contains the entire process of the project, the most complete character design draft changes, and the evolution of the story for more than ten generations. These can all prove that all the characters and story were formed by Capcom's continuous design and changes. This is the most powerful proof!" Why didn't Kenzo Ishimoto finally take out his trump card to prove that the game was his? And this trump card was the game's development record.
However, if he took out this record, it would be quite helpless. This proved that other than this, Kenzo Ishimoto had nothing else to prove that Biohazard Crisis was his.
However, the game's development record was the core of a game company, and it was also the most confidential record. This kind of thing would usually only be taken out ten years later, when the game company started to organize some kind of reminiscence activities. The game's development record would then be taken out as a prop to sell a wave of nostalgia or something.
If he were to take out the development records now, it would be no different from being stripped naked.
However, things like a game's development record were very difficult to fake. This was because plagiarists would never copy the entire development record. If Capcom could take out the development record, it could almost prove the authenticity of the matter.
In the end, Kenzo Ishimoto reluctantly took out the development record of Biohazard Crisis to the TV station for display. However, he only showed a part of the development record.
It included the game company's designers' discussion records, how the idea of Biohazard Crisis was born, how it gradually evolved into the game's strength, and then the design drafts of the various characters in the game.
From the beginning, it was a sketch of a character, step by step, it went through more than ten different versions, and finally became the game's protagonist.
It could be said that this development record recorded the entire process of the creation of Resident Evil. However, the core gameplay and story were not shown.
Kenzo Kiimoto explained the reason on the spot. He said that if these things were released to the public, Resident Evil would lose its novelty. It would have a fatal impact on the future of the game. Therefore, he couldn't release this part of the development records.
However, if both parties went to court for a lawsuit, this part of the development records could be handed over to the judge for a fair ruling.
The development records submitted by Capcom were indeed authentic. With that, the audience was completely confused. Between the Daqian and Capcom, who was lying?
Whose game is Resident Evil?!
"President Ji Ben, I have a question. Would you be willing to answer?" Boss Jia suddenly asked with a smile.
"As long as it's a reasonable question, it's fine!" Norimoto Kenzo suppressed his anger and said.
"Of course it's reasonable. I remember it was written in the development records. The first time your company held the idea submission meeting for Resident Evil was October 6th, 1993. That was about a year and two months ago."
"Because I can conclude that according to your official records, the Resident Evil that belongs to you was born after October 6th, 1993, right?" Boss Jia enunciated each word clearly.
"That's right. You can think of it that way!" Norimoto Kenzo said coldly. After all, the development records started on October 6th, 1993. He couldn't deny that date.
"Then this is interesting. Host, and President Ji Ben, I have a very interesting document here. I can show it to you!" Boss Jia smiled and took another document from the secretary behind him. He then took the lead and handed it to the host next to him.
"What is this?" When the host opened the document, he didn't understand it at first. However, when Boss Jia specifically pointed at a certain part of the document, the host's expression immediately changed. His mouth turned into an 'O' shape.
"Mr. Ji Ben, I really …" After the host finished reading the entire document, he looked at Norimoto Kenzo. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. He seemed to be speechless.
"Let me see!" Norimoto Kenzo felt a chill in his heart. He then snatched the document from the host's hands.
Unlike the host who couldn't see the main point after reading it for a long time and needed Jia Yapeng to take the initiative to point it out, Norimoto Kenzo's face turned green after reading it for less than ten seconds. Then, his entire body became restless. He looked as if he was about to go crazy.
Norimoto Kenzo's expression changed so much in less than ten seconds. The audience became very curious. What exactly was this document that could make Norimoto Kenzo and the host change so much?
"This is impossible … How is this possible … How is this possible …" In the end, Norimoto Kenzo sat weakly on the sofa. His pupils began to dilate as if he was dead.
"Miss Emcee, why don't you explain to the audience what this document is?" Boss Jia said with a smile. The host nodded and took the document back from Norimoto Kenzo's hands. At the same time, the camera quickly panned in so that the audience could finally see the information on the document.
Then, the audience saw a series of English words. Most of the audience was instantly dumbfounded. However, there were some audience members who had passed the fourth and sixth grade exam who recognized the name of the document. They all gasped at the same time.
No wonder Norimoto Kenzo looked like he was dead when he saw this document. This evidence was too damning!
"Ladies and gentlemen in front of the TV, let me explain. This document is called 'PC Game Resident Evil Filing Record.' The party responsible for this filing record is the United States' intellectual property management organization. They are responsible for the management of cultural intellectual property!"
"According to this filing record, it was the United States' intellectual property management organization that filed the PC game 'Resident Evil'. The information recorded on the first page is the relevant filing information!"
After the host finished speaking, she flipped to the second page. Then, the image of the main character, Chris, appeared on the second page.
The host continued, "From the second page onwards, the content of the game is listed in detail. This includes the design of the game's characters, the basic introduction of the game's plot, and the design of the game's gameplay!"
"In this record, the images of the 12 main game characters that appeared before, as well as the basic plot of the game, and so on, have been recorded. This filing means that the game 'Resident Evil' has been recognized by the United States' cultural management organization. The copyright of this game belongs to Daqian Entertainment. No organization or individual is allowed to infringe on it! "
"Lastly … and also the most important point is …" At this point, the host flipped to the last page of the document and revealed a piece of information. At the same time, the camera very considerately zoomed in on it.
"The most important point is that this filing record was made on November 6th, 1991. This means that the Daqian Group had already completed the basic game design for 'Resident Evil' on November 6th, 1991!" The host finally sighed and said.
A fatal blow.
