Chapter 704 The New Generation

This made them not surprised.

Because before that, they never thought that there could be any reliable game that could be developed in the wilderness of the game.

Although Fu Zan is highly valued by Jester, Fu Zan is alone.

Developing games is never something that can be done by one person. It might have been possible a few years ago, but now these large-scale games require at least a dozen people to establish projects. Otherwise, it would be more than a dozen people to spend too much time, and it would be a waste of money.

Players are very aware of the quality of "Sword and Magic" and even lined up a long queue after "Thor Hammer 4" on the trial of e3. When they received the survey feedback arranged by Mars Entertainment, their two favorite questions were: when will this game be released? The second is whether Dark 2 is better than this game?

Dark 2 must be better than this game, and it is even more comprehensive and surpassing.

This is the decision Bill Roger made after trying out "Sword and Magic" because they can't afford to lose this person, and they can't be the level of Dark 2 that players are looking forward to, and they are not as high as this copycat.

Therefore, some settings that were originally intended to be used in the expansion pack, such as rune words, were filled in the development process.

In recent years, Jester has not developed a game, so he has no problem with nominated for awards for GD or VGA. Although he has only passed half of this year, he probably won't have any games this year. Therefore, these two major awards this year probably have nothing to do with him.

However, last year's Lifetime Achievement Award asked him about his opinion.

For example, candidates will be asked for opinions when nominating. If you agree to accept the award, the organizer will nominate you. Otherwise, if the person finally awards the award to you, and you don’t accept it, the organizer will be more embarrassed.

Jester agreed in the previous years because he knew that the possibility that he could get was not very good at that time. He was just a role who accompanied the prince to study. However, it was not certain since last year. There was no longer anyone who could steadily get the Lifetime Achievement Award before him. In other words, since last year, he was a person who had a lot of hope to win the award.

But Jester considered this issue, first of all, because he was too young, which was the main problem.

The main problem is that he has not had any games in recent years. In his own opinion, he is not suitable for winning this award. He thinks that when he wins this lifetime achievement award, he will be the one who swept the heroes on GD after his "era" is released. Then, those lifetime achievement awards can be majestic.

So, Jester explained his situation and said that he would not accept any awards before the release of the "Times". Of course, he used the excuse to not want to be distracted from other things.

It is now 1994. Major hardware manufacturers are also starting to reveal information about their new hardware intermittently. Whether it is Sega or Sony, they are competing with Mars Entertainment in this regard, both openly and secretly.

Mingli, it must be various advertisements, introductions and press conferences for various products.

And secretly, they are trying to win over third-party manufacturers.

When the World Electronics Association was established, it gave third-party manufacturers enough choices. They could choose any of the three hardware manufacturers, or all of them for game development. That is to say, there is no restriction on the game development platform. Of course, the game development is not something you can release if you want it.

It is still necessary to pass the detection on the host to achieve the quality level they require.

In order to compete on new consoles, the competition between the two sides for third parties has reached a fierce momentum. Mars Entertainment is a little bit short, but Sega or Sony have offered many third-party developers they want to win over, which is simply irresistible, and they can't even do it and are not profitable.

This is something Mars Entertainment cannot do.

Jester's business philosophy is similar to what Nintendo decided to sell hardware at a loss when Hiroshi Yamauchi decided, and he also stipulates it.

This is a bloody lesson Nintendo has learned.

Therefore, although the conditions offered by Mars Entertainment are somewhat more favorable than the previous DreamWave 2 era, they are completely uncompetitive compared to the conditions for jumping off the property price of Sega and Sony.

The most important thing is that the host generation depends on the matters of each generation.

For any platform, the beginning of a new generation starts from scratch, and the achievements of the previous platforms are likely to disappear.

Don’t look at the previous host’s share of dominant level.

It is very likely that the new generation will be surpassed immediately, so this is also the reason why these third-party manufacturers are willing to follow Sega or Sony. Because of the advantages of DreamWave 2, it is difficult to accumulate on DreamWave 3.

Moreover, the most important reason is that Sega and Sony have both brought out their new consoles. Even Sony has announced the name of their next generation game console six months ago, called ps2, and also demonstrated the 3D effect on ps2, which is very outstanding and completely surpasses the current era.

Although it is a bit worse than the videos released by the previous "Times".

However, after all, what the "Times" announced was a demonstration of g, not a real machine, so it is natural that there is a difference between the two.

"Obviously we want to confirm the meaning of these companies in Capcom." Jester rubbed his aching head at the senior meeting and said.

His words have also been recognized by many people.

Some second-rate Japanese game companies have close relationships with Sega or Sony. This is also a feature of some Japanese companies, that is, their internal relationships are close, but this relationship is not to be free of loopholes.

For example, since 1984, the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment has been operating in Japan for ten years, and has also played a significant role in the gaming industry. If Mars Entertainment gives treatment to Sony or Sega, or even slightly worse than them, then there are still many third-party companies that are willing to come.

However, Mars Entertainment is unwilling to do so. (To be continued...)
