Game Development Giant

Three days before the carnival opens.

Loyal fans lined up in front of the Anaheim Convention Center.

They even brought tents and other things with them. Apparently, they planned to camp out in front of the Anaheim Convention Center in the next few days.

The decoration of the carnival venue has also entered the final stage.

A huge poster advertising Mars Entertainment's game promotion has been hung on the advertising space outside. Of course, it is impossible to tell from the advertising poster how much information Mars Entertainment plans to reveal at the carnival.

Although, everyone knows that every year at the Carnival Mars Entertainment will break out some new news.

But what the news is, no one can guess.

In terms of confidentiality, Mars Entertainment has always done a good job, because there have been several leaks in the past, and the relevant responsible persons were found out, even if it was only because they were accidentally revealed during a chat between friends, they were directly fired, so , people at Mars Entertainment are very strict with their mouths.

However, many people are speculating that the big news at the carnival is likely to be about Jester's new game.

After all, according to the news revealed by Mars Entertainment during this time, Foreign Land Requiem has completed development, and the release date is already a certainty announced at the carnival. In this case, it is very likely that Jace The special meeting will announce the plan for his new work, because judging from the frequency of Jester holding several discussions within Mars Entertainment recently.

It is obviously a big move.

Although Mars Entertainment's confidentiality measures are very good, basically the content of this discussion is only circulated among the top management of Mars Entertainment.

However, many media still got a little bit of news from their own channels.

That is, this time, Jester is going to make a big move, which can even be called an unprecedented move. Of course, as for what the big move is, no outsider knows.

Still, this is enough to cause a lot of people to wonder.

On the increasingly mature Internet, because the Mars Entertainment Carnival is approaching, the topic of discussing what new games Mars Entertainment will announce at the carnival is very popular during this period, second only to the discussion of how interesting Planeta Requiem is. s post.

Many people are very interested in this big move that is mysteriously mentioned in the media.

Everyone is speculating on what kind of game Jester will make that will be called an unprecedented big move.

You know, Jester is the best game designer in the world. Basically, several development projects that cost the most, take the longest time, and have the largest number of people in the world are all led by Jester.

In fact, at least half of the game types currently on the market were pioneered by Jester.

A designer who can accomplish these great things, what kind of game will he make that will be called unprecedented? Many people say that it must be brand new to run FPS games on the console. Produced once again with John Carmack.

However, this statement was rejected as soon as it was proposed.

The reason is very simple. Current game consoles are not capable of simulating 3D, so Jester wants to move Quake to the console. Basically impossible.

Unless Mars Entertainment can release their new console in time for Christmas.

Obviously, this is impossible.

Moreover, there is another most important situation, that is. Jester has been in the gaming industry for so many years and has developed countless games, except for Fire Emblem which has had a great impact on the gaming industry. He has not developed a sequel yet. The external explanation is very simple, that is, he does not want to repeat what he has done before. The sequel to Fire Emblem was also developed because the players were too enthusiastic, and it was developed at the time. Jester has said before that this is the only time he will develop a sequel.

Therefore, this so-called development of Quake is naturally unconvincing.

Soon, someone came up with a completely new point of view.

That is, the new game is very likely to be an RPG. Jester is still unfinished in developing Foreign Lands Torment. It is very likely that he will expand the size of the development team and create a brand new RPG game that has never been seen in the industry. .

This statement has gained a lot of users, most of them are fans of American RPGs.

Although they have not played Planet: Torment yet, so many media outlets have unanimously said that it is good, and even did not hesitate to praise their words when evaluating, which is enough to show that Planet: Torment is really good. It is a game worth looking forward to. Of course, whether you like to play a game or not is quite subjective, but if it can be praised by all the media, it means that this game has achieved the ultimate in all objective conditions. .

Of course, there are many people who disagree with this statement.

Because Jester rarely makes the same type of games continuously, except for the RTS games that Jester mentioned before.

However, judging from the process of Jester developing this new RTS game called Warcraft: Humans and Orcs that has not yet determined a release date, Jester's idea is obviously not just to make this game The game is just developed as an RTS.

The game has not been officially developed yet, just after the project was approved.

Unexpectedly, the game novels and comics have already started to be developed.

You know, although Mars Entertainment has its own comic studio and publishing house, previous games have also produced related comics and plot novels. For example, the novels and comics of Fire Emblem are selling very well, but this They only did this after the game became a hit. Obviously, these things were completely treated as game peripherals.

But this time, Jester obviously didn't think so about this RTS game. Although he couldn't understand it for a while, it was obvious that this could not be used as evidence to prove that Jester would continue to make the same game. precedent for this type of game.

Speculations about first-person shooting and role-playing were put forward by enthusiastic players and then overturned after some discussion. For a while, no one came up with a better idea.

But soon, it seemed that a netizen who worked at Sega Japan shared a message.

Sega's president, Hayao Nakayama, and Sega's chief designer, Yu Suzuki, had already left for Los Angeles earlier today. It was said that they were going to participate in the Mars Entertainment Carnival this time. The news came out in a blink of an eye. It spread in some game forums, triggering endless reveries.

It's very simple, because in the previous carnivals, there was no precedent for any game company to take the initiative to participate. I thought this was a large gathering of Mars Entertainment. Why would you, an insignificant company, get together? Since you can no longer participate as a company, can you still participate as a fan? Of course, if you are invited, that is of course an exception.

However, it is impossible for Jester to invite a game company to the carnival.

This doesn't quite make sense.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this time, there was only the news that Nakayama Hayao and Suzuki Yu went to the United States to participate. Sony was quiet. Even after the news came out that Nakayama Hayao and Suzuki Yu went to Los Angeles on the eve of the Mars Entertainment Carnival, there were people immediately Went to interview Kutaragi Ken.

Kutaragi Ken was obviously extremely surprised by the reporter's news. He even asked the reporter several times how he learned the news.

After that, Kutaragi Ken left in a hurry.

Obviously, this time Hayao Nakayama did not discuss with Ken Kutaragi in advance before going to Los Angeles.

Therefore, some people with great imagination speculated that it was because Hayao Nakayama and Yu Suzuki knew about Jester's next game development plan, so they hurried to Los Angeles to inquire about the enemy's situation?

The game that makes Hayao Nakayama so anxious is most likely that the next game Jester will make is a fighting game.

Because Sega’s signature game now is “VR Warrior”.

Although in the console market, Sega and Sony Smart have some leftovers from Mars Entertainment, and their share is even lower than Sony's. However, in the arcade market, with the help of Suzuki Yu's last year's VR Fighter directly brought Sega's share of the arcade market back to the number one position. However, Mars Entertainment, which originally relied on the new game of Street Fighter to regain the number one share of the arcade market, could only retreat to the second place. Two.

It can be said that VR Warrior is now Sega's trump card and its most important chess piece.

Only if Jester's next game is a 3D fighting game similar to VR Warrior can it be possible for Nakayama Hayao to be so impatient.

When this statement was first made, it was just a joke, but soon, this statement was accepted by more and more people, because they could not find enough evidence to deny this rumor.

However, some people still disagree.

That is, Jester has never only made related fighting games. Even for the game Street Fighter, although Jester was involved when the project was established, the actual developer, Jester, was not involved. Therefore, Many people think that Jester will not rashly develop a game to compete with VR Warrior because this is a direct battle for platform share, not just a bet with someone.

Jester would never be so willful.

Of course, many people sneer at this statement.

Because Jester had never developed an American RPG before developing Planet Requiem. (To be continued...)
