Chapter 874: Myron Case’s Final Struggle
Chapter 874 - Myron Case's Final StruggleSometimes, all it takes is one game to ignite players' passion.
At the venue, the area selling game-related merchandise and products was suddenly packed during the evening.
Thanks to the announcement of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, the official store at the carnival sold out of all FFVII merchandise within just a few minutes.
It was as if players, unable to immediately get the game, turned their frustration into a shopping spree.
Even a Tifa mini-figure keychain priced at 5,000 yen was snatched up like hotcakes.
Despite only costing around 500-600 yen to produce, people were more than willing to pay the price — almost like handing over free money.
And before that, a new concept trailer had been shown after the FFVII Remake announcement.
It was just a concept trailer, with not even a title attached.
...
...
That concept trailer was for Takayuki's long-term vision project: Cyberpunk 2077.
This was the same video as the first teaser in the original world.
The teaser featured a beautiful woman with mantis blades extending from her forearms — the mechanical enhancements rendered with stunning CGI. One shot showed bullets grazing her face, sending off a shower of sparks.
There wasn't much information, and without a game title, most people assumed it was simply a tech demo for Unreal Engine.
Some players were amazed by the visuals, while industry insiders nodded in appreciation.
That was exactly the effect Takayuki wanted — to give a glimpse of the game's concept without revealing too much. A proper showing would have to wait at least two years.
As a fellow gamer, Takayuki didn't want to put others through the painful wait he himself had once endured.
This year's Gamestar Carnival was packed with content.
From the beginning — with multiple Surisoft titles coming to PC — to the grand reveal of the FFVII Remake, every announcement was a highlight.
Myron Case couldn't understand it.
He had heard of Final Fantasy VII's legendary status.
But how could a game that already existed, simply remade with new technology, capture so much attention again?
If the same were done in the film industry, it would be called a lazy cash grab — no matter the technology.
People usually prefer the classics.
But with games, things were different.
Players embraced remakes, especially older ones. The older the game, the more excited longtime fans became about seeing it remade.
Myron could only curse himself for not having a classic of his own.
If he had something like that, he could rake in cash every few years with a remake.
Inspired by the FFVII Remake, Harukawa Ueto quickly ordered his team to re
Takayuki, busy overseeing the FFVII Remake, glanced at the file with a calm expression.
"So what? Games are meant to be fun. Making something like this just means we're giving players what they want."
"What kind of players want this?" Eri huffed in disbelief.
On the cover of that file, the game's title was written in bold:
Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball.
