Chapter 217 National Rally

What if you make a shooting game?

In fact, in Jester's hardware R&D department, the technology of light guns is relatively mature. Although it will take some time to achieve home machines, if you make large arcades, it may not be a problem.

After using shooting games as an alternative, Jester considered racing games again.

This should be the type this team is best at, because they have just participated in the production of Sega's motorcycle frame game, so they should be the best at developing this type of game and can do the best. On the contrary, like a shooting game, if you really want to do it, you may need to develop more technologies yourself.

However, when Jester sent this learning team, the agreement signed with Sega had clear restrictions on the team's return. This was the result of Jester's efforts. Originally, Sega's condition was to prohibit the development of somatosensory arcade projects within one year, but Jester scoffed at this. If it was prohibited to participate in the development within one year, then why would I send someone to do?

In the end, Sega made a concession, saying that it was impossible to develop racing games, but Jester was also very dissatisfied with this. After several negotiations, it finally turned out to ban the development of motorcycle racing games. In this way, the team had the opportunity to discuss racing games this time.

In fact, although they are all racing games, the development of racing frames is much more difficult than that of motorcycles, and the cost is much higher.

After thinking for a long time, Jester still did not make the final decision.

He looked up at the group of people waiting for his decision. He suddenly felt that since he couldn't make a decision, why not let these people choose? After all, this is the first time he has been making a somatosensory frame game. It is also very necessary to ask these people for their opinions before making sure.

After listening to Jester's words, Jade just thought for a while, discussed with his team members for a while, and then he came to a conclusion on the development of racing games.

The reason is simple, they are better at this.

For Jester, these two types of games are actually clear in his mind, and they also have specific games to learn from. So after hearing the suggestions of these developers, he also typed and decided to develop his own somatosensory arcade frame game. It is a racing game.

Let’s not talk about the issue of game and hardware matching for now, we will discuss these later.

After determining the type of game, what you need to determine is the discussion of the specific game content. In fact, in the eyes of these people, it is enough to refer to Sega's motorcycle frame for production. How much content does a racing game require?

Jester was unquestionable about this, and he did not intend to add too many things to the later racing games he knew in this game, because most of the racing games he was familiar with were played on home computers or PCs. The ecological environment of these games was not the same as arcades. Needless to say, the biggest thing about arcades is that they cannot be saved.

This means that arcade games cannot make games with pitfalls, and cannot make games with too many plot branches.

This is especially true for sports games.

However, sense of substitution is something that any type of game needs to be considered. Competitive games are no exception. Jester thought of a very classic game here, which was on md a few years later. The producer is Yusuki, the father of somatosensory arcades. I don’t know if it was transplanted from the arcade, and the name Jester couldn’t remember clearly, but he vaguely remembered that it should be a name like the All-American Rally.

According to Jester's understanding, this game should have been developed by Yuri Suzuki against the public, and in the end it really made Sega's md soar in the US market.

Therefore, in Jester's eyes, this game is very suitable for reference now, because it can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, such as worrying about adding too much other elements, which will lead to the failure of this game.

Moreover, playing on different maps in different states across the United States can greatly enhance the American sense of immersion.

When Jester spoke out this idea, he received support from all the staff.

In fact, according to Jester's idea of ​​creating a racing game at the beginning, he even wanted to add the system and role-playing mode in Need for Speed.

However, Jester soon dispelled this idea, not that this setting is not good, but that it is meaningless. There is actually no living environment for rpg games in the arcade, not because rpg cannot be produced in line with the high-intensity rhythm of arcade games, but because arcades are public entertainment facilities that everyone can play.

The most important thing about rpg is its personal sense of inclusion.

These two are incompatible contradictions.

Therefore, instead of solving this contradiction, if you forcefully add role-playing modes in later home racing games to this racing game, it is better to temporarily postpone the idea and slowly think about how to solve this problem.

However, as for which state and terrain and road to choose as this racing game, it cannot be discussed in the conference room with empty mouths and white teeth. This requires on-site inspection.

The sales of "Heavy Fighter" is not as popular as when "Flame Emblem" was released, but it is also quite good. In less than five days, the sales volume in North America exceeded one million sets. According to the habits of Mars Entertainment, overseas time was delayed by about a week before it was released.

Although "Game" wrote an article in the magazine that although "Heavy Installation Army" has innovative themes and almost limits RPG's thinking to ancient backgrounds, it has thought of using future backgrounds to open up the horizons, in terms of the production quality of the game, there is still a gap compared to "Flame Emblem".

However, this is not the case in the eyes of many players.

In many schools, especially in the middle school students, even if one of the group fights is better, "The Heavy Fighter" or "The Emblem of Fire", if someone says "The Legend of Zelda" is more fun, they may be attacked by the group.

In a large shopping mall in Los Angeles, the general game counters here do not just run games from a game company, such as Mars Entertainment and Nintendo's game consoles and game consoles, which are placed on the same shelf.

There was a child who was just over ten years old looking at the dazzling array of game cartridges on the shelves reluctantly. His face was filled with a hesitant look, and it seemed that he could not make a decision.

His eyes kept wandering from the cassette boxes of "Flame Emblem", "Heavy Fighter" and Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda". Obviously, he had not made a decision yet. One of his friends seemed to be a Nintendo fan and had been instigating the child to buy a copy of "The Legend of Zelda".

"Jack, let me tell you, this game from Nintendo is amazing!" His friend said affectionately, and then his friend was drooling when he looked at the game cartridges of "The Legend of Zelda". "The last time I played it at my cousin's house, I was deeply fascinated by this game. This is really a super fun game."

It should be because he is not old, and the words he praises seem to be fun and just like this, and he keeps talking about them fun and fun.

This kid named Jack seemed a little moved after hearing what his friend said. He had two game consoles, Nes and Dreambox at home, so he couldn't delay playing any game from anyone. However, he remembered the evaluation of "Game" magazine for "Flame Emblem", and he also wanted it very much. After all, this game was rated as a game with a very full mark.

Then Jack Little Jack watched "The Heavy Fighter". He is an absolute science fiction fan. His favorite book is Asimov's and his favorite movie Star Wars. The game background of this "The Heavy Fighter" is a science fiction theme, which is what he really wants.

To put it bluntly, he wanted all three games, but he could only buy one of the pocket money he had.

When Jack's friend saw Jack, hesitated and continued to encourage him: "Jack, don't think about it, just buy "The Legend of Zelda". Look here..." As Jack's friend said that, he pointed to a poster on the side, which said that any player who bought "The Legend of Zelda" within this month can add ten dollars to a "Mario Brothers" game cartridge.

Jack Little Jack also saw the game "Mario Brothers" in "Game". The magazine said that this is a good puzzle game, and the gameplay is similar to "Donkey Kong" or "Golden Digger". They both avoid danger and get rewards in a terrain with a still picture, and then find the exit to enter the game of Xiaguan.

Jack still likes this kind of game.

Just as he was preparing to decide to buy "The Legend of Zelda", another boy who was a few years older than him came. The boy looked at the little Jack who was looking at "The Legend of Zelda" with some disdain, and then walked to the front of the shelf where "The Heavy Fighter" was placed without hesitation, reached out and took one, and walked towards the payment without looking back.

While walking, he said, "Children just play Nintendo games. There is no fun game for Mars Entertainment. It's all about pleasing children. It's boring!"

His voice was not small, and it happened to be heard into Little Jack's ears.

Jack was also a little angry when he heard this. He never admitted that he was a child. He was also a fan of Jester. The reason why he had the idea of ​​buying "The Legend of Zelda" this time was that the relationship between the fat man named Reggie around him. This guy is a loyal Nintendo Games and has encouraged him to buy "The Legend of Zelda" several times. Moreover, "The Legend of Zelda" has a high evaluation in "Game", so he had the idea of ​​buying it for fun.

Unexpectedly, this is not over yet, and he is despised? (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
