“GTA……”

Jester repeated the word in his mouth a few times, then sighed again.

As a gamer, it is impossible not to sigh for GTA's development of the game to make all kinds of content gameplay and system innovations, but as a somewhat alternative gamer, he really lacks a good impression of this kind of overly violent and erotic game.

For the company R Star, Jester certainly admires.

Red Dead Redemption is a game that cannot be overpraised in any language, a perfect, great, and perhaps unbeatable title even in Jester's mind.

However, it is obviously impossible to let the current R star do "Red Dead Redemption", to make such a game, what is needed is the precipitation of time, what is needed is the accumulation of experience, and GTA, especially GTA3, which the House brothers are about to start producing, is the best project, and it is also an opportunity for R Star, a company that may not have been established, to soar into the sky.

Of course, in terms of the original history, GTA3, an epoch-making game in the entire history of the game, was not only extremely difficult at the beginning of development, but also two natives of the British to make American-style gangster games, just like two Koreans to make Chinese-style games, it is difficult to do it without being so nondescript, let alone deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But these two people have made the game extremely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Anyone who sees it will think that this is indeed a game that tells the story of American gangsters, and nothing else.

Even after its release, the game was full of tribulations.

GTA3, or the game that domestic players like to call Grand Theft Auto 3, in the final analysis, is still a pure restrictive level ~ human game that can no longer be pure.

Other words. There are a lot of things in this game that are inappropriate, and even some things, even adults may not be able to hold on to them after playing them, so as soon as this game was released, it immediately caused an uproar in the United States ~ wave - more than GTA3 violent games. But this has never been as popular as GTA3.

A large number of opponents insisted on banning the game, which contained murder, violence, and pornography.

One is named Joey. Bika's members of Congress even proposed a bill to Congress to ban the game, which at the time was called "Protecting Children from Sex and Violence in Video Games."

EVEN, IN '03, THE VICTIMS OF TWO SCHOOL SHOOTINGS FILED A LAWSUIT IN FEDERAL COURT, DEMANDING THAT ROCKSTAR COMPENSATE THEM FOR THE $2.4 BILLION AMOUNT OF MONEY, BECAUSE THE PERPETRATORS OF THE TWO SHOOTINGS WERE GTA3 players.

It can be said that the R star at that time. Although the sales of GTA3 have exploded in the industry, it is also full of crises.

I don't know how many other game companies were waiting to see the jokes of R Star at the time.

Faced with this situation, the two brothers stood up and spoke: "Of course, game makers need to be socially responsible, but we don't have the 'social responsibility' to take responsibility for everything that happens in the real world, we just provide a tool for the entertainment of adults, and we have reason to believe that the vast majority of them are not potential gun murderers." I won't forget my social responsibility just because I've played a game. ”

Although there is a bit of blame-shifting in this statement, it can also be seen. At that time, the House brothers and the R star were indeed forced to the edge of the cliff.

Due to the events of 9.11, a large number of GTA3 precious settings were removed from the beta version. Finally, Joey. Beka's proposal was rejected by Congress. The huge compensation of $2.4 billion was also dismissed by the federal court. GTA and R Star Yu survived, and the era of this game company has finally arrived.

But even after GTA3, GTASAN is the San Andreas that has been hailed as a masterpiece by countless players. The days of R Star are also very difficult.

Needless to say, after the brilliant success of GTA3, R Star really wanted to make a more ambitious title.

This is San Andreas.

However, a French player with a mod for the game completely exposed the erotic images that existed inside the game. All at once made Rockstar a hot spot. Legions of conservatives took to the streets to demand that the government take action to ban the GTA franchise. Hillary Clinton, then in the Senate. Clinton even accused GTA to his face of being a cancer in the United States and demanded that the government immediately ban the GTA series.

This is a difficult thing in the history of the R star group.

There is a good chance that none of them will survive more than twenty-four hours.

The ESRB, or the Entertainment Software Rating Board, is a non-profit organization in the United States that is responsible for grading game software.

They also re-rated GTASAN.

Positioning the rating of the game as AO level, which is a level higher than the M level that gamers often say, that is, the adult ~ human level, this move has brought R star at least more than 25 million dollars in net income, which may be millions of copies of the game.

TAKE-TWO WAS ALSO AFFECTED, AND THE STOCK PRICE PLUMMETED. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WAS FURIOUS WITH ROCKSTAR. Many states in the United States are debating whether to ban the GTA series. An 85-year-old grandmother in New York State took Rockstar to court for $5 million because she had bought the game for her grandson. I didn't expect this to be a coming~human game.

IT WAS ROCKSTAR'S BUSIEST DAY, WITH THEIR LAWYERS AND PR TEAM TRAVELING AROUND THE U.S. IN SEVERAL STATES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. The two brothers also apologized to the public. IN THE END, THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF THE LAWYER'S PR TEAM AND THE R&D TEAM, THE HOT COFFEE INCIDENT ENDED WITH ROCKSTAR LAUNCHING A PATCH TO REMOVE PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENT. For Hillary, who was the first to stir up this matter. CLINTON, ROCKSTAR HIT BACK AT HER WITH A HUMOROUS WAY -- CHECK OUT THE GODDESS OF HAPPINESS IN GTA 4.

And the later GTA4 completely pushed the R star to the altar, and also made the company completely brilliant.

Many people say that GTA5 is the best in this series, but Jester always thinks so. GTA5 is nothing but a finished version of GTA4.

Because what R Star did in GTA5, you can find it in GTA4, and the reason why it didn't do it in the 4th generation is just that the technology is not enough.

GTA4 is not destined to be an ordinary game, as one of the best in the GTA series. GTA4 broke three Guinness World Records records at the time – the highest-grossing game in a single day, Halo 3, sold $170 million in a single day. The highest-grossing movie in a single day is Sam Raimi's version of "Spider-Man 3", which grossed $60 million in a single day. The book with the highest daily income is Harry. Potter and the Deathly Hallows sold $220 million in a single day. Together, these three records were broken by GTA 4.

Although these records were broken again by the COD series, they were later re-broken by GTA5.

GTA4 sold a total of 4.46 million units in one day. In one day, the revenue reached $500 million. This has never been done before in history. GTA4 is a story about the American dream, and once again shows New York, New York -- the cosmopolitan city, the black apples, the maggots munching on the big apple in some corners you can't see. To achieve the dream, you have to sacrifice some. Although the sacrifice makes you so heavy.

GTA4 is undoubtedly a milestone for the GTA series, and indeed for sandbox games, with so many games in the gaming world challenging GTA. But they did not have a single victory. "Saints Row", "Bloody Scoundrels", "True Crime", "Just Defense", "Reservoir Dogs", "Mafia", ...... Why did they fail?

Jester had also thought deeply about this issue at the beginning.

However, it is difficult for him to draw conclusions in the end.

Presumably, the House brothers spent several years in order to develop GTA3, sitting in front of the TV around the clock and learning American culture. In the end, the GTA series has a soul of its own. This is something else, GTA is GTA, other games can't be learned, and they don't need to be learned. Each game has its own characteristics, and blindly imitating the GTA series will only end up in a sad end.

R-Star is a game company that has never disappointed players, and this is the biggest difference between them and other game companies.

You like them or not. They always stick to their own style.

They are the R stars, and the R stars are them.

He didn't want Activision to be so impatient. I don't want EA to circle money like that. It's not like Blizzard has become fast food for money. He is who he is, and will always be him. He used his black humor and American culture to bring GTA to all players, and in real life, players may have to wear a mask for various reasons.

And in the game. Especially in the game of R stars.

Players don't have to, because the player is the king of the game, can do whatever you want, and always will be, Jester once discussed with a friend why the GTA series is so successful.

He was very impressed by his friend's answer - "In reality." We have to be serious in what we do, but in GTA, we can shake and roll, and maybe that's what the name Rock Star wants to convey through the game. ”

Although Jester does not identify with the GTA franchise, he has never denied the greatness of the game and the incredible contribution it has made to the entire video game world.

Soon, Jester's assistant brought him news from as far away as Edinburgh.

Both DMA and BGM were excited about the attention of Mars Entertainment, the dominant company in the gaming industry, and they said that they would send their team to Los Angeles within a week to meet with Mars Entertainment if needed, and they were also very surprised that Jester wanted to meet with the House brothers and Mr. Donovan.

After they told the trio the news, they said they were honored to meet with Mr. Jester.

And both the House brothers and Donovan are generated, they have been fans of Jester's games since childhood, they were, they are, and I am afraid they will still be in the future.

After getting the other party's reply, Jester was also relatively happy.

But he did go to England once during this time.

Because he is the head of Manchester United~ seats, Manchester United has achieved amazing results in recent seasons because of his high investment, they defended the European Champions Cup, and completed six consecutive championships in the league, and completed the treble in two consecutive seasons, so, not only last year, Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson got the title of Jazz three years earlier than the original history.

Moreover, this year, Jester was also nominated as the main ~ seat of Manchester United.

Moreover, he was invited to a recent banquet by the British royal family, and Jester really needed to go to England once during this time.

So, after thinking for a while, he said to his assistant: "You can reply to them, I am indeed going to England in a few days, so I will visit in person at that time, which is also to show our sincerity." ”

Among the remaining documents, a message from an inconspicuous place caught Jester's attention.

When the assistant was sorting out the files, he might feel that this was not very important information, but it was just the development of a new game from a game company owned by Sony~ situation, and it was an MMORPG game on the PC, this kind of game was not too popular, so the assistant didn't pay attention to it.

Jester looked at the news.

The game company developed by Sony Online is the United States, and the game they develop is called "Ever-Quest", referred to as EQ, which is called "Endless Quest" when translated.

Judging from the information disclosed by this company about this game, this will be a 3D MMORPG game that is completely different from other MMORPGs, and there are about two types of MMORPG games now, one is the network Genesis, and the other is a derivative of the dark series of Battle.net.

There are some players in both categories, and although many people play, they are not very popular.

For example, Mars Entertainment's dark-style MMORPG has only 100,000 people online at the same time.

It's still far less numerous than the Dark Battlenet.

This is also the reason why Jester's assistant does not pay attention to this type of game. (To be continued......)
