Game Development Giant

Later, when Jester thought about it, he understood a little bit.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

Most of their sub-projects were initiated and developed at about the same time as Suzuki Yu's project.

And now the system that Suzuki Yu is responsible for is almost complete. Even if he, the person in charge, leaves, his subordinates can complete the finishing work, and what is left of them is only 100% completed at the fastest. Seventy percent, and the remaining 30 percent is the most difficult to complete.

If their project is difficult, then as we all know, the combat system that Yu Suzuki is responsible for is one of the most difficult among the many sub-projects of Era.

According to original expectations, no one could predict that Suzuki Yu's project would be completed so quickly. After all, everyone knew the difficulty of this project. Many people were predicting that this combat system would be able to be completed in the first place. It would be good to complete it in five years, and the time is very tight. Unexpectedly, Suzuki Yu relied on his own ability to increase the progress to three years.

And these people, whether they were former employees of Mars Entertainment or people who switched jobs from other game companies after the announcement of the 'Era' plan, all regarded themselves as elites.

Designers are all a bunch of arrogant people, and usually they don't obey anyone except Jester.

Now, Suzuki Yu has completed a project that they think is extremely difficult ahead of schedule. Doesn't that mean that they are far behind Suzuki Yu?

It is true that the impact of the games developed by Suzuki Yu on the entire gaming industry may be rivaled only by Jester among the entire development team. However, most of these developers who are Americans have never been convinced by the Japanese. , so they don’t think that their level is inferior to Yu Suzuki. It's just that they are not in the environment in Japan.

However, now they are all competing in the same environment, and they are still so far behind Yu Suzuki, which is very inappropriate and makes them feel embarrassed.

Therefore, these people will catch up.

This also made Jester feel a little funny, and it also made up for the loss of Suzuki Yu's departure.

Suzuki Yu's departure from the 'Era' development team is indeed big news in the industry. The day after Suzuki Yu returned to Japan, many game media reported on this program. Although everyone with a discerning eye is aware of the Waterloo thing like VR Warrior, it is impossible for Sega to promote it. Wouldn't that be a loss of its own brand?

Therefore, many people are speculating whether Suzuki Yu's return to Sega represents the breakdown of the cooperative relationship between the two parties?

Sony is the most concerned about this. What they are most worried about is that Sega is getting too close to Mars Entertainment, because they and Sega are currently in a weak position. Sega still has a niche in the arcade market, but they don't have this advantage, so if Sega joins forces with Mars Entertainment. Then what awaits you is a dead end.

Therefore, after Suzuki Yu returned to Sega, Kutaragi Ken knew it immediately.

He also contacted the people he arranged at Sega, and the news he got could only be described as mixed. The bad news is that there is no bad blood between Sega and Mars Entertainment.

The dispute between Tekken and VR Warrior is only about games, although for Sega. The failure of VR Warrior 2 had a great impact on them, but it did not affect their relationship with Mars Entertainment. The good news is that Suzuki Yuu did stop cooperating with Jester. The reason why he returned to Sega It's very simple, that is to re-accept the VR Warrior series.

Let this former Sega signature product come back to life.

The 3D fighting market seems to be very competitive now. In fact, the current situation is that the first game of Tekken and VR Warrior are equally divided.

Although VR Warrior 2 failed and was not accepted by players, VR Warrior 1 has accumulated a large number of fans after all. The power of this step cannot be underestimated. Therefore, even with Tekken, But it can only divide the situation equally with VR Warrior.

This is why Sega has great hopes for the VR Warrior series and Yu Suzuki.

Players have given up on VR Warrior 2 rather than the VR Warrior series. They are still very confident in Suzuki Yu's VR Warrior.

However, everyone in the industry now knows that Namco, one of the top four in the arcade market, is also preparing a 3D fighting game, and Kutaragi Ken, as Namco's most important ally, also knows a lot about it. of.

Namco has invested a lot of money and manpower in this game.

What they want is indeed to grab a piece of the market from Sega and Mars Entertainment. To this end, Namco even gave up a home console game that they valued very much, which made Kutaragi Ken very unhappy. , but this is a decision made by Namco for its own benefit, and there is nothing he can do about it.

As for the reason why Suzuki Yuu terminated the cooperation with Jester, and why Jester did not blame Sega for breach of contract after the cooperation was terminated, no one knows.

But many people still detect it.

This time, only Yu Suzuki came back. The elites from the am2 development team that he took away from Sega before are still helping in Mars Entertainment. From this aspect, it can be seen that it must be Yu Suzuki and Jester who reached an agreement. What kind of cooperation can make this possible?

When Yu Suzuki left Mars Entertainment, he signed a confidentiality agreement.

He cannot reveal any information about the 'Era' project, even if he has completed the part he was responsible for.

Therefore, those media can only make random guesses.

Perhaps the people at Namco are the most unhappy about the news of Yu Suzuki returning to Sega. They had seen the failure of VR Fighter 2 and the success of Tekken before, so they expected this, which is still a little bit obvious now. The fierce competition in the novel market also means that the kingship of this series is far from stable, which means that their opportunities are also great.

Moreover, Suzuki Yu had to do five years with Jester before.

Only three years have passed now.

In another two years, their new fighting games may be released, and they may even compete with Mars Entertainment's Tekken in the rating market. At that time, even if Suzuki Yu comes back, he wants to let VR Market start again. Capturing the market is many times more difficult than entering the market now.

Unfortunately, Yu Suzuki is back. (To be continued...)
