"Mars Entertainment is developing the next generation of hosts! The competition for host development has once again entered a white-hot spot!"

Ken Kutaraki looked at the Yomiuri Shimbun in his hand, and he didn't understand why a super big newspaper like the Yomiuri Shimbun could also report such news that was stolen, and it was simply nothing!

Why did he say that?

Because on the other side of his desk, there was a book that had been spread out but had not finished reading it yet. The page that spread out happened to be the "Game" magazine, which was interviewed by Jester recently. During this interview, the reporter of "Game" asked Jester this question.

However, Jester did not say that Mars Entertainment is currently developing hosts. He just said that they are now studying what type of hosts to choose for development.

Maybe the layman was a little confused when he saw this answer. What does it mean to choose what type of host to develop? Did the development of the previous two hosts have not accumulated enough development experience for the development team? He didn’t even know what type of game console to develop?

In fact, what he didn't say in Jester's words is researching whether to develop a host with 2d performance or a host with 3d performance.

If Ken Kutaraki had made up his mind before, he might be struggling with whether to continue to develop a host that mainly focuses on 2D games or a host that fully supports 3D imaging effects. You should know. With the development of two generations of hosts, he has accumulated a lot of experience in this area. However, the development of 3D hosts is the first time, and the difficulty between these cannot be calculated in the Tao.

Moreover, the development funds required are incomparable.

In fact, even the current Nakayama Hayao is also struggling with the question of how to choose the next generation of host types.

2d has proved his success, and the glorious situation of electronic games can fully confirm this. What about 3d game consoles? You should know that 3d games have proven that they can achieve successful games like 2d games, only Jester's "Thor Hammer" on PC.

But the problem is that "Thor's Hammer" is a game specially developed for PC. All its operations are set according to the operating habits of keyboard and mouse. Even if the performance of the host can achieve the same 3D simulation effect as that of PC, it is difficult to use the controller to copy the gameplay of FPS.

Therefore, it is a difficult decision to completely tilt the host like 3D.

This may be true for ordinary people, but for Jester, this problem does not exist at all. He understands the future development direction of game consoles. The popularity of FPS on the console platform is also closely related to the game "Hao" - it is precisely because of the creative use of auxiliary aiming settings in this game. This is why this game that is popular on PC has become the number one category of console games.

Before, in the console game, only a few people were willing to try the FPS type game.

The reason why Jester said this in the interview was to deceive Sony and Sega and make them believe that he has not yet developed the next generation of hosts. In this way, it can delay their own development process and speed to a certain extent.

In fact, according to the meeting in Ken Kutaraki's own memoir fifteen years later, this time he was indeed careless.

At that time, Ken Kutaraki had already stepped down as president of Sec. He was participating in an interview on a program.

At that time, the host asked Sony's computer entertainment what was the biggest mistake in the 32-bit computer period. After thinking about it for a long time, Ken Kutaraki talked about this past event.

"I made an unforgivable mistake during the development of ps2."

When it comes to it, although many years have passed, there is even a look of annoyance and regret on Ken Kutaraki's face.

"When I was looking through the latest version of "Game" magazine in my office, I just knew that this magazine had a deep relationship with Jester, but I didn't expect that Jester was one of the creators of this magazine. You know, "Game" at that time could be said to be the most authoritative industry magazine in the industry. Basically, people like us had one. If I knew that this magazine had such a deep relationship with Jester, I might have thought about it more carefully at that time, but I don't know, and I didn't think about it further."

"I read this interview about Jester. In this interview, Jester told the interviewers what the next generation of hosts they had not yet determined what they were going to develop - in general, I was almost overjoyed when I saw this. You know, our next generation of host development was already on track, but our most important opponent had not yet made the judgment they should have."

"Of course, in that case, it was very difficult to make a decision to choose 3D as the future without hesitation."

"So, I didn't think there was a scam in Jester's words. Later we found out that in fact, the development progress of dreambox3 was not slower than our ps2, and it was even slightly faster than ours."

As Ken Kutaraki spoke, he became a little funny himself.

"That night, I had a meal with several officials from our hardware development department. I talked about this, and they all knew it. We even laughed at Jester together, because during an interview, someone asked him why he could make so many excellent games. As a result, Jester said bluntly that his eyes could see the future, and what we laughed at at that time was laughing at him for why he couldn't see the future at this time was definitely in 3D?"

As he said that, Ken Kutaraki sneered twice.

"In fact, those of us were all fooled by Jester like a monkey. Our hardware development progress was relaxed at that time because we knew that we were at the leading position among all competitors. Although I urged them several times, it didn't work until a year later..."

Speaking of this, Ken Kutaraki stopped talking, as if he was recalling something.

"Is it the Mars Entertainment leak incident?" The interviewer immediately followed up and asked.

"Yes."

Ken Kutaraki nodded. He did not carefully talk about the information leak of Mars Entertainment this time, but immediately jumped back to the ps2 development.

"It was from that leak that we knew that the development progress of dreambox3 of Mars Entertainment was far ahead of us. And according to the leaked news, the official development time of dreambox3 is definitely much earlier than that of Jester's interview."

This is just an interview with Ken Kuraki fifteen years later. No one knows now that his unintentional behavior of planting willows will cause such great results for him, including Jester himself.

Later facts also proved this. In terms of 3D game matching, imaging, and development difficulty, ps2 is generally better than dreambox3. However, it is because of the release time of these two consoles that dreambox3 was nearly ten months ahead of ps2, which made this console war a war without suspense.

In fact, when Sony Computer Entertainment analyzed it on its own, it also believed that ps2 was actually a period when they were best to surpass Mars Entertainment. This period was the period when their hardware development strength was the most powerful, and the hardware development team of Mars Entertainment and the 3D technology were far inferior to their own.

Of course, this is all a story later, and now it is still the early stages of the sixteen-bit computer.

Robert Pardo received a thick letter from Mars Entertainment today. To be precise, it was a gift box with exquisite packaging. When he took the package from the postman, his inner excitement was indescribable.

He is a loyal Mars Entertainment player. He also participated in the RTS guessing activity and wrote a long letter analyzing how he guessed the game through Sid Meyer's team and expressed his opinions on this type of game.

A few days ago, when he saw Jester's interview in the latest episode of "Game", he saw rts, which was a real-time strategy game. He was so excited that he even danced in the library regardless of his image, so that he was coaxed out by the security guard on the spot.

But it was worth it to him.

Because he knew that he had guessed correctly, he could participate in this year's Mars Entertainment Carnival! You should know that being able to participate in a carnival has become the ultimate dream of almost any Mars Entertainment fan, and of course, it is his.

But the problem is that tickets to Mars Entertainment Carnival are really expensive. If I work, it would be fine. I am just an ordinary student now and I will not graduate next year.

In fact, the ticket price of Mars Entertainment Carnival is not very expensive, but those crazy house searchers can directly speculate on the ticket price of Carnival to nearly 2,000 US dollars. This is still the current price. By November, the ticket price can even rise to 5,000 US dollars. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
