Chapter 438: Niche Games

After taking the seat in the private room, Claudia asked strangely.

"How did you have this idea? Let the player become the team's head coach?" Claudia chuckled softly, "I don't think doing this will make the player feel like a good experience."

After hearing Claudia's sarcastic teasing, Jester calmed down a little.

"you're right."

He nodded first and agreed with part of Claudia's statement, but he also had his own opinions: "This game mode should belong to the category of simulation games. I will call it a business simulation category for the time being. In fact, if you look at it from a general perspective, it is not very different from the previous "Sim City" and "Railway Tycoon".

Hearing Jester say this, Claudia nodded involuntarily. As the most important partner of Mars Entertainment and the general manager of things in Europe, Claudia also has some understanding of the two types of games that Jester mentioned, although the sales of these two PC games can only be said to be average.

But the response was very big.

"The characteristics of players in this type of game are niche, but loyal. Once they recognize it, they will not change their views on the game." Jester said in a plain tone, with some of his judgments, and then he turned the topic to football management games.

"The game I mentioned before that makes players the head coach is just a preliminary idea for me, and..."

As he said that, Jester laughed, which made Claudia look a little strange. She didn't hear anything that could make people laugh from what Jester just said.

Seeing the puzzled look on Claudia's face, Jester stopped laughing: "Don't you think this game would be interesting if it was designed? Now, when I make the game, I don't need to consider too many things that have nothing to do with the game."

“That’s true.”

After hearing Jester say this, Claudia immediately nodded and said casually, she was indeed not thinking about this. She considered it from the perspective of a person in charge of a game company, starting from whether this game can provide the company with enough profits.

But she ignored that Jester now no longer needs to be restricted by these things.

Jester was about to continue saying something, but suddenly a burst of extremely warm cheers broke out at the scene. Below the rostrum where Jester was located was the main stand of Manchester United home fans. Jester saw that many fans turned their heads to look at the box where he was.

And he kept waving the scarf or other things in his hand at him.

At this time, Jester naturally understood that it might be that the camera on the scene captured him, and he could not see the big screen outside the stadium in this place, so he could not find it immediately.

"The player is out."

Claudia grew up watching football matches on site, a hardcore Newcastle United fan. Of course, as Jester became the chairman of Manchester United, she naturally became a Manchester United fan. The fans and audiences on the scene sang Manchester United's team songs in unison.

The melody of this song, Jester is not familiar with. The Manchester United team song he is familiar with is the glory that spread throughout the world in 1999. After Manchester United won the triple crown, it belongs to Manchester United. In the future, this song is also the most thought of this song, but now Manchester United's team song does not seem to be this one.

It is a song that I am not familiar with but is still very passionate.

"So your next game is to make the game you said to make players the head coach?" After a Manchester United attack, the pass was blocked by the goalkeeper from the baseline. In the gap between Manchester United players who were playing corner kicks, Claudia asked casually.

"no."

Jester shook his head: "My next game is not a big production, it's just a small game for self-entertainment. It's a minesweeping RPG called "Runish Stone Guardian". Well, I plan to have only three people in this game, including me, to complete the development, and the game "Football Manager"..."

"Although it seems that it is not troublesome, there are still many things to consider, such as the copyrights of major leagues and whether the current PC can complete the game content simulation you want - and the most important point is that if you want players to really like this game and make them feel that this game cannot be replaced, there is still a task to prepare."

Claudia, who was a little curious about Jester's answer, couldn't help but ask.

“What job?”

"hehe."

Jester laughed a few times indifferently, and then said lightly: "Scouts all over the world, since I want to make a football manager game, I naturally hope to get as much data as possible. Think about it, if the data in our game, whether it is famous players, unknown players, or even young players who are not famous at all, can have relatively real data, then will those players who like football games be ecstatic?"

boom!

At this moment, there was a cheer like a tsunami erupting again. Jester, who was sitting in the private room, suddenly felt like he was on a crater. He had just experienced a volcanic eruption. Although the private room was very stable, under the hug of such violent cheers, Jester still felt like he was shaking the mountain.

Jester looked up at the middle of the stadium and saw a score of 1 to 0 on the electronic scoreboard on one side of the stadium.

Behind one is Manchester United.

The goal scorer was Brian Robson. Jester just talked to Claudia. When he was distracted, he missed the wonderful scene of the goal. However, he could see a red No. 7 jersey waving to the fans on the court, and his teammates were also celebrating beside him.

"Let's watch the game first, and we will talk about the game after watching the game."

Jester was still a little resentful about not seeing the goal just now, so he said something to Claudia and then looked at the football seriously. Claudia also covered her mouth and smiled, nodded, and said nothing.

The rest of the first half basically became Liverpool's offensive and defensive drills. After all, in terms of strength, Liverpool is still stronger than Manchester United. Manchester United seemed to have arranged tactics before Ferguson, and have been stabilizing defense, and then let a fast forward swim in front.

Once you get the ball in the backcourt, you will kick forward and find the forward player in front, and then quickly move forward in the backcourt to get a quick counterattack and have the opportunity to play less.

Of course, the success rate of such tactics is not high, but once it is successful, it is fatal.

However, most of the time of such a game has become a bit dull offensive and defensive drill. In addition to the fierce movements of the players on both sides when fighting, they really lacked any highlights. Jester also stretched out his arms bored.

"Let's talk about the previous game." Jester said awkwardly.

Claudia still nodded with a smile.

"I heard you say before that you seem to value football games?" Claudia seemed to remember something. He remembered a speech by Jester at a senior annual meeting of Mars Entertainment. In that speech, Jester predicted several types of games that would dominate the future.

After hearing this, Jester nodded: "Yes, I said in that meeting last time that future games will inevitably develop into a game pattern dominated by the three major types of car gun ball gameplay, which can provide players with the most intense sensory stimulation in the simplest and most direct way. As for the reason, I discussed it in the last meeting, I won't explain it in detail here. This is also why I care so much about the production of racing game engines."

"Do you think the football game in the future will be the football manager model you are going to make now?"

Claudia continued to ask, with a smile on her face.

Jester smiled. He knew that Claudia was joking with him again. He was not angry. He just waved his hand: "I said before that this type of game can only be a niche. Although it is interesting, its sales will not be very high. Since it can become a mainstream game type in the future, it will definitely be a mainstream game type."

At this time, Manchester United's counterattack almost succeeded, and the fans on the stadium burst into sighs of regret.

Claudia couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, when she was chatting with Jester, she was still paying attention to the game on site.

"But I don't seem to find anything you said about the current football games that can become the mainstream game type. Whether it is our Mars Entertainment, EA, or the football games of Japanese game companies, it seems that the road to perfectly simulate a game is still very far away."

Claudia expressed her questions. She agreed with the gun games and racing games that Jester mentioned, but only the football games seemed to be unable to see any great development in the future.

"It's just that the hardware is not allowed now."

Jester said casually, he felt that there was nothing to talk about. Football games are popular in the future and have been verified by history. In the future, ea's fifa series, a game that can be directly equated with making money, can be renovated a new version of the game every year, and it can almost cost ea much resources. In the years before Jester traveled, it was stable at the sales of 15 million copies per game. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
