The release of gta3 was not promoted by Mars Entertainment.

This is what Iwata Satoshi means.

Because the main goal of DreamWave 4 is now those housewives, who want to make these housewives like this game console and take the initiative to buy more things for their children.

If you want to compete with P3, which has DVD functions and P.3, you must do it step by step.

It is not too difficult to make these housewives feel good about DreamWave4 and even become interested in purchasing. In fact, he has done this. He has indeed made these housewives and mothers have a good impression of their game consoles, but it takes further effort to get them to really buy them and give them to their children.

First of all, the games on Dream Wave 3 must not cause any major storm, at least not at the beginning, especially at this time.

The gta3 game is obviously incompatible with this plan.

In Satoshi Iwata's eyes, he even felt that it was worth giving up the gta3 game. Although this game Mars Entertainment has spent a lot of effort and invested a lot of energy, financial resources, manpower and material resources. In fact, if Jester had not paid special attention to and paid attention to this game, he might have done this.

However, desalinating the release of gta3 and delaying the release time of gta3 on Dream Wave 4 are all decisions made after Iwata Satoshi discussed with Jester and agreed to it.

Of course, Jester also knew that at this time, the game gta3 must not be used by others to affect the distribution strategy of DreamWave 4, but it is impossible for Jester to give up on the game gta3.

Therefore, it can only be a relatively compromise, so that this game can be released on PC games first.

Fortunately, the first two games of GTA are also released in PC versions, and its player group is currently mainly PC.

Moreover, because of Jester's special care, this time, gta3 was not caused by such a big storm as in the original world, at least not being pointed at by Hillary Clinton, which is a shame for the United States.

At most, it has a bad reputation in the industry and many critics are criticized.

But I think that many game companies are selling these games with violence as the selling point in the year, so there is nothing to worry about on this.

Although there is no large-scale publicity.

But Jester also believes that according to the quality of gta3, it is certain to make a big splash in the future. Moreover, after the official release, it can also achieve good results through the recommendation of Zhan.com. As for the console version, it will basically be suppressed for half a year. The console version is indeed not perfect for the PC version, and there are still many things that need to be corrected.

It was in this atmosphere that gta3 began his journey.

The first thing is to sell it on PC.

There is a physical version, and there is also a warnet version of Mars Entertainment Battle Network. You can pay online and buy it directly on Mars Entertainment Battle Network.

Because there was no large-scale publicity before, the sales of this game was not very high when it was released. In fact, if according to Jester's expectations, if the game could invest enough publicity expenses before it was released and promote it on a large scale, then according to the quality and attractiveness of the game, in Jester's eyes, selling tens of millions of sets within a year is as easy as playing.

You should know that the total sales of gta3 in history were as high as 30 million units.

The current model is even better than the original gta3 in terms of quality and picture. Although the number of Dream Wave 4 is far inferior to the number of P2 when GTA3 was released, even if it does not reach the original historical sales in a short period of time, it is still not difficult to reach one-third of the original, that is, 10 million sets.

In fact, when facing GTA3 and Iwata Satoshi's strategy of drea touch 4, Jester hesitated.

He knew what a game that could sell 10 million copies in the early stage of one console's release meant to a console. Not to mention the others, but just the example of "The Legend of Heroes" is vivid in my mind.

This is something that can bring back a host.

However, he also knew that Satoshi Iwata's host strategy was a lasting strategy. Now this strategy is in the early stages of foundation building, and any decision needs to be made very cautious.

As long as the host has a certain image in the minds of others, it doesn't matter if it adds a game like gta3 to the game, but it won't work now.

After thinking about it for a while, Jester still agreed to Iwada Satoshi's request.

Although gta3 is a killer move he left for Dream Wave 4 a few years ago, in his imagination, if the body sense plays the role he expected, then gta3 can make the dream wave 4 surpass ps3 in sales and reach a far-reaching leading position. If the body sense does not play the role he expected, then gta3 is enough for Dream Wave 4 to shorten the gap between them and ps3.

Although Iwata Satoshi did a good job, DreamWave4 still led the sales of P3 without GTA3.

This also makes gta3 not use what Jester had previously imagined and appears as a killer weapon.

In fact, this kind of silent release and slowly increase the intensity and relying on the reputation of the game to achieve sales counterattacks is a good strategy. Although such a sales strategy is not suitable for all games, there is no problem with games like gta3.

After all, the gta3 game is as dazzling as a fireflies in the dark night in the current game environment. It is too difficult and too difficult to avoid attracting people's attention.

Jester actually didn't pay much attention to the release of gta3. His main thing now is the development of wow. By the way, he took time to update something about wow on the official forum of Mars Entertainment every day.

Sometimes if he has something to update in a few days, someone will even urge him to update.

Later, with the official start of internal testing, some people began to actively conduct game testing on the official forum while posting live posts and war reports, which also made more players who are not nearly exposed to this game now to relieve their envy.

Of course, at the beginning, the evaluation of this game did not come from the game. When all the testers started testing, someone posted on the forum that the configuration required for wow is very high. They just asked the person in charge of developing wow in Mars Entertainment. They said that the game has not officially started to be optimized, and the version they played is just a separate beta version.

Most importantly, this game is not available now.

Therefore, during development, the configuration he needs will be based on the configuration in two or three years.

Of course, as time goes by, after all, a 350-person test team, a large number of live posts and war report posts are constantly updated on the website, and the content involves all aspects of this game, from race, profession, to business skills and life skills.

This makes people begin to gain a preliminary understanding of the economic system of this game.

And he also has a deeper outlook on Jester's ambition for this game.

Jester wanted to be a magical world in his mind, not just a m-touch RPG.

Of course, what excites players the most is the copy system proposed by Jester in wow. This brand new game system perfectly solves the problem that has been criticized in eq for many years. They have never been able to solve it, such as stealing monsters in the wild, snatching monsters in the mission, and the leader stealing monsters.

Moreover, although the device binding setting was initially unfavorable to the circulation and transaction of items, players later found that because of the existence of dungeons, it was not too difficult for players to obtain a good piece of equipment. As long as he was willing to team up to play dungeons, the equipment was set to be bound, which would help not cause the economy to collapse.

Moreover, in addition to picking up binding, there is another type of equipment dropped in the world called equipment binding. Such equipment can be traded as long as it is not equipped.

This also gives some players who are unwilling to play dungeons to choose.

Moreover, these equipment have better attributes than dungeon equipment. Not only players who are unwilling to play dungeons, but even players who are willing to play dungeons often will be interested in these equipment. This is also a good channel to consume game currency.

Of course, what players who watch live texts on the forum like the most is group fights and copy posts.

There were a few players who participated in the test who became a little famous on the forum based on their live broadcasts or battle reports they wrote.

There is actually not much content open to this test.

Level up to level 45.

The maps are not all open.

It cannot be said that it is not open all of them. Instead, a group of skeleton-level monsters that cannot be seen at the places where some Mars Entertainment is unwilling to let the players who test it enter. Basically, as long as a player approaches these maps, he will be mercilessly killed by these skeleton-level monster realms.

However, even though there are very few maps and dungeons available now, the players participating in the test will be very pleasant.

For example, this time there is a copy called Bloody Monastery, which is the most difficult copy currently open.

It takes five players above level 40 who have experienced many battles to successfully open up.

Of course, the rewards to be opened are also quite expensive.

The items dropped by the leader monster inside are also very envious. According to legend, it is not a legend. When a tester first opened a live broadcast post on the Blood Monastery, many players went to the post to watch the fun.

And Jester went there too.

Even Jester revealed it in the post.

He said that in the copy of Bloody Monastery, the last waves prosecutor Whitemoon would have a very small chance of dropping a purple, epic-level equipment.

You should know that the maximum open level of this test is only 45.

Among all the previous dungeons, the best equipment dropped is just blue equipment.

Although Jester has said before that there are equipment that is better than blue equipment, there are few drops.

It is indeed someone who has hit monsters above level 40, but the number is rare, basically none of them in a hundred.

Jester said that the wave ss in the Blood Monastery had a certain chance to drop purple, which made these test players inexplicably excited. They brush monsters at a rare monster point above level 40, and with the extremely low chance of dropping a purple outfit, how can they brush wave ss, and it can also be refreshed to brush infinitely?

So, since Jester mentioned this in this live post, many players participating in the test often teamed up to go to the church area of ​​the Blood Monastery, hoping to get the final wavess drop purple equipment.

Of course, the team of more than 300 people is not too many.

There are only more than a hundred people who are willing to brush equipment, and others want to test other things.

In this way, there are only more than twenty teams per day, which is still in the best case. In fact, due to some professional distribution issues, it is good to have more than a dozen teams to sweep the Blood Monastery.

The drop rate of purple equipment is very low.

Now that it is the end of a month of testing, no one has obtained the purple equipment that Jester mentioned from this copy of the Bloody Monastery.

There was indeed no purple equipment in the original Blood Monastery, but Jester felt that adding a piece of purple equipment with low chances of dropping from these medium and high-level dungeons is a very good idea, and Princess Maraton's dagger proved this. In this setting, players will flock to brush this dungeon again and again.

It can significantly improve players' online time, and of course, it also increases the playability of the game.

So, Jester added a purple outfit to the blood color.

This time, the people who opened the live broadcast of the Blood Monastery played the tribe, because there are two days left to stay for one month this time, and the tribe will have to prepare a very special event tomorrow, so this time, the Blood Monastery is basically the last time.

The poster also said in the post.

Seeing that he had broadcast the Bloody Monastery more than a dozen times live, let him take his last Bloody Trip to purple outfit this time. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
