Game Development Giant

Shigeru Miyamoto's award was actually expected.

Although several other games are also very competitive, Zelda Ocarina of Time is obviously higher than other works.

Therefore, after Jester announced the final results, most of the people at the scene had expressions that were indeed true. Perhaps only the expressions of the few candidates who were also nominated were slightly disappointed.

Hideo Kojima, who was sitting with Shigeru Miyamoto, was the first to recover from his disappointment. He stood up and shook hands with Shigeru Miyamoto to congratulate him. For Kojima, this Metal Gear Solid is just In his mind, this series of stories is just the beginning, and the rest of the story will be very long. Maybe he will make three parts, or maybe five parts. The first one he starts making games again will be nominated for Game of the Year. For It has been considered very successful for the island.

Although it is a bit regretful that he did not win the final award, it is not empty-handed. After all, the award for the best action/adventure game still fell into his hands.

In addition, Shigeru Miyamoto's Zelda: Ocarina of Time was also a game that impressed him. He even felt that if this game by Shigeru Miyamoto had competed with Jester's The Hero last year, Well, it’s not that there is no chance of winning. Due to some functional reasons, many interesting aspects of Heroes were cut due to various reasons during the development.

Because the primary purpose of this game is to create a world, and how to play it is not Jester's primary purpose.

In contrast, Zelda is much better in terms of playability.

On the stage, when Shigeru Miyamoto took over the trophy for the best game of the year from Jester, Jester also congratulated him, and then Jester deliberately asked Shigeru Miyamoto: As we all know, Miyamoto Ben, you have been taking a break for a while since the release of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Do you have any new game development plans? I think players must be very concerned about this news.

Unexpectedly, Shigeru Miyamoto smiled after hearing Jester's question, and then attacked Jester's army.

I don't have any great ideas yet, just some immature ideas. In fact, I have some ideas for Balotelli's game, but you want to make Balotelli's new work, so I won't I dare to compete with you... When I said this, the entire conversation was a relatively normal question and answer, but at this moment. Shigeru Miyamoto suddenly changed his words.

...But BOSS, having said that, instead of saying that the players have expectations for my new game, let's talk about an issue that the people sitting under the table are more concerned about. I remember you said that you would be in Some very important news was announced during GDC. And the confidentiality conditions are very high. I didn’t even find out what you wanted to say within the company.”

Jester was not angry when he heard that Shigeru Miyamoto had rebelled against General Ichijun.

He also smiled.

Because there is no internal information at all, of course you can't find out. I just accidentally talked about this matter with a few core members of the new development team. I was not planning to make it public, but I think I still want to let it go. It’s better for the players to know... Actually, there’s nothing too easy to say. I can’t say what the players guessed before is wrong, but it’s only half right...”

Jester said as he considered it.

Shigeru Miyamoto heard Jester say this. There was a curious look on his face: Did others guess before? What did they guess? Could it be that you...

Although Shigeru Miyamoto didn't finish his words, everyone at the scene still guessed what he wanted to say.

That is because Jester, who was previously leaked in an interview, will announce a news about his career at GDC. Because of this news, many people speculate that Jester will announce that he will play in this Balotelli game. He retired after the new work, but this news was refuted by Jester himself just before the development of GDC.

Jester himself admitted that he does have plans to retire, but the new Balotelli's new game will definitely not be his last. Moreover, he has envisioned the game project after Balotelli's new game is over, and it will be the biggest game he has ever developed. He had been preparing for this game for many years.

Therefore, many people are guessing what the game is.

But after that, Jester kept silent about the matter.

But at this time, at the GDC Game of the Year Award Ceremony, Jester said in front of developers from all over the world that his previous speculation was not entirely wrong, and it seemed that it was really foreshadowing something.

Yes, what I said in the player community of Mars Entertainment is true. Internally, I call Balotelli's new game 'Galaxy', and the name of the game will be called Super Balotelli as expected. Li Galaxy, the game is still very Balotelli's action pass - of course, the gameplay will be different from all the previous Balotelli series you have played, or even all games. As for what is different , I can’t say now, I can only say that we will know when the time comes.”

As for the games after Super Balotelli Galaxy... I have been conceiving this plan in my mind for almost five or six years. It is just the planning of the game. I have written it over the past few years. It has written at least hundreds of thousands of words. It can be said that this will be the game that I have spent the most effort on, so I call it a summary of my entire game development career.

The meaning of this summary is also to clearly express my attitude towards this game. If there are no big surprises, this will be the last game in my plan - just like I said before , when all my understanding of video games becomes games, then I will no longer develop games. I feel that once the game in my mind comes out, I can retire without any regrets.

Finally, I also want to make it clear that this will be a PC game, while Super Balotelli Galaxy is a console game. This means that the next two games of mine will be my games. The last console game and the last game in my development career. What I said today is after careful consideration. I think it is necessary for me to tell everyone my opinion.

And there is nothing to hide in these.

After Jester finished speaking, he bowed to his colleagues in the industry below the stage, and then the scene fell into silence for a few seconds as he was shocked by the news Jester said. The audience immediately stood up and gave Jester the warmest cheers at the GDC awards show so far.

After the cheers and applause quieted down, Jester said apologetically to Shigeru Miyamoto next to him: I'm a little embarrassed to steal your limelight, but there will be a best grand prize later, and I bet it will be you. Yes! As he said this, Jester smiled while thinking about Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto Shigeru also shook his head indifferently.

It's really unexpected and sudden that you decided to retire at such a young age...

I'm not young anymore. In 1984, fourteen years ago, I was nineteen. At that time, I was wild and energetic. Now I'm thirty-three. When the two planned games are completed, maybe I am over forty years old...

After Jester finished speaking, he once again thanked the audience. Then he congratulated Miyamoto Shigeru once again and left the main stage.

And there is another award he is talking about, which is the GDC Lifetime Achievement Award.

It will only be awarded to those who have made the most outstanding contributions to the entire video game industry. Jester and Hiroshi Yamauchi have both received this highest individual award in the video game industry.

And this time...

With the award guest, Tripp Hawkins, the founder of EA and now the president and CEO of EA, the name on the envelope in his hand at the beginning of the year - Shigeru Miyamoto, this GDC annual event has come to an end. , and the biggest winner is undoubtedly Shigeru Miyamoto himself, but the hottest topic is not.

Talk about it. Tripp Hawkins is also a legendary figure. In 1982, he left the prosperous Apple to create EA. Now EA is one of the top three game companies in North America. There is no doubt that he is number one. of Mars Entertainment. Many people are debating who is second, but EA is still recognized by the vast majority of people as being in the top three.

When they left, Shigeru Miyamoto and Jester were naturally the people who the reporters who were waiting for interviews wanted to interview the most. Shigeru Miyamoto was easy to say, but it was not so easy to interview Jester.

However, Jester seemed to be in a really good mood today. He did not let the several strong bodyguards around him block the reporters who wanted to interview him. Instead, he waved his hand and asked them all to come over - and dozens of reporters rushed over at once, surrounding Jester like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. They were just about to ask.

But Jester was the first to stop them.

Time is limited, so I can't be interviewed by everyone. I can only answer some questions. No one is limited to just one question. My total number of questions is ten. I will randomly point to people, and whoever I call will count.

Just after Jester finished speaking, he casually selected a relatively young and pretty female reporter.

Of course, the reporters did not dare to object. What is Jester's status in the gaming industry? If a person of this status can be interviewed by them, he already thinks highly of them.

The female reporter who was pointed out by Jester did not expect that she was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was the first one to ask Jester questions, so she suddenly became excited and even her tone became somewhat word-sequential. It was confusing, but Jester didn't care much and took the initiative to correct several of the other party's mistakes.

What I want to ask may be what everyone wants to know. I wonder if you are willing to reveal it. You have said before that Super Balotelli Galaxy is the same as his previous series. The game type is still very popular among players. Traditional action pass - we understand this very well, because this is Balotelli's biggest feature, but I am a little curious about the game you said after the Balotelli series. All your previous games It can be said that games have created a new game type, so is your new game a type of game that has never appeared before?

After the female reporter asked, she looked at Jester expectantly, hoping that Jester would give an answer.

Of course, the answer or not lies with Jester.

Jester also doesn't promise that he'll answer all the questions, because at this stage, it's certainly impossible to say too much about his new game.

After this question was asked, Jester frowned at first. He hesitated a little, but after a little hesitation, he nodded and said with a smile: This is a good question. It happens to be when I can Whether I want to talk about this or not, what I can say is that this is not a new type of game. There are at least seven or eight other games of this type on the current market, so I can’t say too much about the others.”

This answer is equivalent to saying it or not, but others can only be helpless.

As the questions came one after another, Jester responded with ambiguous words, and some simply said that he had no comment. Soon the last question came, and a reporter asked it had nothing to do with the game.

But his questions are still of interest to many.

Mr. Li, thank you for giving me a plan to ask questions, but I don't plan to ask you about the game. I have gotten almost everything I want to know from the previous answers. As for the others, I want to know more. Yes, I know you won't answer. Instead of wasting the opportunity to ask these questions, it is better to ask one that you are more likely to answer - you said that there are two more games in your development plan, so I would like to know, If you have new and great inspiration during this period, will you continue to make a third game? If not, as your fans, I would like to know what you will do after you end your own game development. Woolen cloth?

This question obviously focused the attention of many people present once again.

These questions indeed have nothing to do with Jester's mysterious game, but these are still things that everyone wants to know.

hehe.

Jester smiled: It's a difficult question to refuse, because I don't have any particularly good reasons for refusing, but it's okay to answer it. But yours is two questions. Which one do you want me to answer?

First he teased the other person, but Jester was obviously joking. He immediately went on to say: Let's talk about your first question first. I said before that the reason why I don't make games anymore is because I feel that I All the game ideas have been exhausted, which is why I will retire. If this happens, then I will definitely continue to work on the third game.

Second question, I actually have other identities. As you all know, I am still the chairman of Manchester United. I have bought this team for almost ten years and have won many championships. However, because of my I am busy with game development and don’t have much time to pay attention to my team, so I will probably focus my main energy on this aspect in the future. Of course, there may be other things.” (~^~)
