Game Development Giant

Do you miss me?

After taking the stage, Mark Saini first asked a rhetorical question.

After a moment of silence, the people at the scene immediately became excited. Both players and reporters waved their hands and shouted words such as: Of course.

Moreover, there were people shouting the name of Avengers, as well as the names of the protagonists and supporting characters of the previous three generations of Avengers.

The game Avengers was the masterpiece of Mark Saini when Mars Entertainment was first established. It created a new game type, horizontal scrolling action to pass levels. This type swept the world in a short period of time. Arcade venues throughout North America as well as Japan.

At almost that time, the influence of this game was not inferior to Jester's American Cube at that time.

It can be said that in the process of bringing the entire electronic game industry back to life, Mark Saini and his game are absolutely responsible for the greatest contribution.

In the past two years, I was really busy. As a game producer, it seems that it is inappropriate not to have been on the front line of game production. But I was too busy, and Jester wouldn't do it for me. I share some administrative tasks and only focus on playing games, so I can only reluctantly part ways.

When current players hear what Mark Saini said, they all know that he must have meant something.

Sure enough, after Mark Saini said this, his voice changed. He first showed a very mysterious smile on his face, and then said in a half-hidden tone: Actually, I can reveal a piece of news. Our next The development of the first-generation console has already begun, and the progress will not be revealed for the time being, but one thing can be revealed.

While talking. Mark Saini made a gesture.

Then, a picture appeared on the curtain. On this picture, a criss-crossing field similar to a chessboard was displayed.

The screen rotates so that people present can view it from above or below. Front, rear, left. Observe the entire chessboard from any direction on the right. Some people with little knowledge may not have discovered the mystery yet, but some reporters or players with more knowledge suddenly showed expressions of great surprise on their faces.

Because the short projected video just now is realistic. It is officially shown that an item is already in the PC game. Functions completed in arcade games.

3D!

Then the audience burst into extremely warm applause.

We can play Quake on home consoles! Immediately, someone couldn't wait to shout out what they were thinking.

Mark Saini also heard it.

However, he neither nodded nor shook his head, but looked in the direction where the words came from. The person in that direction was not the reporter who came to interview, but a player who had received the invitation. These senior Mars Entertainment players fans, it can be said that everyone within Mars Entertainment is very familiar with it.

Generally speaking, Jester proposes a methodology. The first external invitation test was conducted with these true diehards.

Mark Saini just waved and smiled. Then he said: I don't know whether Quake can be played on future home consoles, because this is a matter between John Carmack and Jester, but I can guarantee that after the press conference, , both of them will be attending, but since I let you see this 3D demonstration and then talked about our new console, of course there is a reason.

As he said that, Mark Saini paused for a moment.

Or if I don't give you something that makes you feel worthy, maybe you will scold me?

With that said, Mark Saini clapped his hands.

Then let's keep watching. At the end of this video, you will see everything you want to know and everything I want to say.

As Mark Saini finished speaking.

The rotating 3D field like a virtual chessboard that had stopped before started playing again.

A pure 3D character statue appeared in the projection.

Just like the previous virtual chessboard-like scene, players are shown a standing portrait of this character from different directions, and this character is standing in the middle of the previous virtual 3D chessboard-like field.

Moreover, the clothes this character wore were so familiar to the players present.

He was wearing a brown jacket and a pair of tight jeans on his legs. He had blond hair and a very resolute face. He moved his hands forward and backward, assuming a very classic defensive posture before a fight.

Then, the people present cheered again.

Because the mission that appeared on the projection was the protagonist of the first generation of Avengers!

Could it be that Mark Cerny wants to redo the Avengers series? And then resurrect the protagonist of the first generation? Oh God, this isn't a very new idea, but it's really, really exciting because a lot of people are big fans of the first Avengers.

However, the picture being projected by the projector is not over yet.

Soon, as the video continued to play, a second character appeared again on the curtain.

This character is wearing a very Chinese-style Taoist uniform, but there is no bun on his head. Instead, his long hair is loose. The whole character is also 3D, with a Chinese boxing starting posture, and the character is like Like the previous one, it is also made very clearly.

His eyes are very sharp, and he has the same feeling as if he could shoot out sword light.

This character stood in front of the protagonist of the first generation of Avengers, facing each other, with extremely cautious looks on both sides' faces, and then...

The people present did not know how many times today they cheered again.

This is the protagonist of the second generation of Avengers!

How could this happen? Could it be that one of the protagonists became the villain?

Won't?

However, while people are still discussing, the video screening is still in progress. These two 3D characters, who were just looking at each other, actually started fighting. The fighting was extremely smooth and unrestrained, and the moves were connected very naturally.

It is not inferior to the action design in those Kung Fu movies from Hong Kong that everyone present has seen.

And he has to be even more punchy.

I saw the protagonist of the second generation punching the protagonist of the first generation in the ribs, then taking a step forward, approaching him, and then pulling and throwing him, sending the opponent flying away.

Then the first-generation protagonist fell to the ground like a sandbag, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

This mouthful of blood was unabashedly smeared on the field.

By the end of the video, the scene was completely silent. They all looked into their eyes in disbelief. They didn't believe that this would be a real game that could be made, because the character models in it were so realistic. , the character movements in it are really smooth.

How is this possible with current technology?

This would take at least ten years to achieve. When everyone was shocked, the video stopped playing, and Mark Saini was very satisfied with the reactions of the people in front of him.

In fact, when he saw this demonstration for the first time, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

Because this 3D effect is really outstanding.

It's simply not what today's PCs or even arcade machines can do.

Is this the next game you want to make? At this time, someone asked. Following his question, the eyes of everyone present also fell on Mark Saini at the same time. , and Mark Saini had no hesitation.

He nodded immediately.

However, this is the next game I want to make. As you can see, this will be a fighting game. The characters in it, as you can see, have the same characters as in the Avengers series. Not only that, there are not only all the protagonists in the past, but in this fighting game, there will also be many other characters that have appeared in other puzzle games of Mars Entertainment...

After hearing Mark Saini say that this game will be a fighting game, someone immediately showed a confused expression.

I want to ask, you can make such awesome graphics and make such an awesome fighting game, so why don't you use this kind of technology to make Street Fighter? You know, I am the developer of Street Fighter A die-hard fan, I really can't imagine how exciting it would be if Street Fighter could have such a picture and such a real 3D fighting! Mark, believe me, use him to make Street Fighter, it will definitely be It’s the greatest fighting game ever!”

The person who expressed his own opinions and gave his own suggestions was obviously very emotional and spoke very quickly.

But Mark Saini still understood what he meant.

Then Mark Saini smiled flatly.

Actually, you are thinking too far. This is just an appetizer before the main meal of our press conference. As you can see, what I share with you is what we want in our future game consoles. The game screen to be completed above does not mean that we have been able to complete it now. In fact, this game screen was completed by us on our special 3D equipment and has nothing to do with our console.

And our new console is under intensive development. We have only one requirement for the new console, and that is to complete such a shocking picture. (To be continued...)
