Chapter 554: Attack
Richard. Garrett was very unkind in the interview, because Jester didn't let "Outlander Requiem" participate in the Tokyo Game Show, so there are indeed many people who are worried about this game in this matter.
It's not that they're worried about the quality of this game, because Jester itself is a guarantee of quality, what they're worried about is that Jester is the first time to develop an American RPG game, and also, on the previous E3 exhibition, this game will be blown into the sky, so that players are worried after being excited, because they are afraid that Jester's cowhide will blow through the sky, and then they can't do it themselves.
And when it came to the Tokyo exhibition, there was no "Exotic Requiem" in the games exhibited by Mars Entertainment, and even at the game exhibition, there was no news about this game, which made many players who were looking forward to it have a premonition that they didn't want to.
They don't think the game is going to give birth.
There are also some fans of the original American RPG, who have been interested in Jester against Richard. Garrett was overbearing and domineering in his affairs, especially on E3, deliberately arranging the time of his press conference with the time of Vizhen's press conference, so that media reporters could only choose one of the two behaviors.
They felt that this was Jester's blatant bullying.
In fact, they didn't say anything, this is indeed Jester deliberately = bullying people.
Therefore, after they learned that "Outlander Requiem" is very likely to be unsatisfactory and difficult to release before the end of the year, they immediately smiled and celebrated, and a lot of ridicule posts were published on some American RPG forums.
Of course, such players are also very rare, and more of them are like some people who were full of expectations for "Outlander Requiem" before. But now it is very likely that this game will be difficult to produce and extremely regrettable players, who know that Jester is absolutely a boutique person, and if a game does not meet his requirements, he will never be released.
And it is very likely that from the high profile of E3 to the silence of the Tokyo exhibition, it seems to be a sign that something is happening.
It's none other than Richard. Garrett will say sarcastic things when he is interviewed, after all. In the previous time, the pressure he was under was very huge, and this gamble with Jester was almost related to his future in the video game industry.
"You ask me what I think of the fact that Outlander Requiem didn't make it to Tokyo? I don't know exactly how Jester's game was developed, but as a developer who has developed several popular games of this type, I have to make it clear that American RPGs aren't as easy to make as some people think. ”
Although Richard. Garrett didn't say who some of the people he was talking about, but anyone who heard it would be obvious what he meant. Naturally, the reporters who interviewed him would not be surprised. As soon as Garrett finished speaking, the reporter immediately inquired.
"You're talking about Jester. Mr. Lee with his "Requiem for an Exotic Town"? ”
Journalists' questions always want to be a little shocking. It can be used as a headline thing, but Richard. Garrett wasn't as ill-advised as he was a few months ago, and he just smiled when he heard the reporter's words.
"Nope. I'm not talking about specific people or games, I'm just talking about a phenomenon, you know. There are a lot of developers who are just starting to develop a certain type of game and think that they will take the experience they have gained in other game genres and integrate them into the development of new types of games, and they think that they can succeed in other game genres, and they can succeed in other game genres, and I have to say, this is simply wishful thinking. ”
"Each game genre has its own characteristics, players who like this type of game and players who like another type of game, they don't have much intersection, of course, in terms of viewing games, of course, some of the development experience between different genres can be interchanged, in fact, in all game type development, there is a part of the experience can be interchanged."
"However, why a game can win appreciation and popularity among players is completely different in different game types, and why a platformer action game is fun with a puzzle puzzle game is also different."
"And the same is true of American RPG, this is a type of video game that has developed from a desktop game to a computer, when it is still a table game genre, his rules, his gameplay, his audience have been very perfect, in this case, what kind of innovation do you want to play, IMHO, if you change all these things beyond recognition, then can it still be called an American RPG?"
"No matter what others think, I don't recognize it anyway."
Richard. Garrett used this tirade to advertise that Jester's so-called "Outlander Requiem" was a different American RPG, and he also made a subtle mockery of Jester's lack of reverence for a genre he was not familiar with when developing the game.
However, the reporter was obviously not very satisfied with the answer, because Richard. Garrett could only say that he was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and he didn't say anything directly from his mouth to attack Jester and Jester's "Requiem for an Outland", so it didn't carry enough weight to make it big news.
Therefore, this reporter still does not give up on leading the question to Jester or his American RPG.
"Well, Richard. Mr. Garrett, may I interpret what you are saying to mean that you think that Jester. Mr. Lee's game called "Exotic Requiem" is bound to fail? ”
"Huh."
Richard. Garrett was obviously not fooled, he smiled indifferently, and then said: "I don't like to comment on other people's games casually, let alone a game that has not been released, I hope this journalist does not focus on a specific game when asking questions, because I am really not interested in such a topic, but ......"
Although Richard. Garrett said this, and the reporter who interviewed him was also very interested, but in front of Richard. As soon as Garrett said just two words, the reporter's expression suddenly became energetic, because many years of experience in the profession of journalist told him that whenever there was no change, there would always be some reversal of the topic.
And Richard. Garrett didn't disappoint him.
"But if you have to talk about my feelings about Jester. Li and Mars Entertainment's views, I hope that they are not limited to a certain game, for example, you can ask about the nature of the policy or other things that have a great impact on the industry, and I can talk about these. ”
Hear Richard. Garrett said this, and the reporter immediately knew what the other party meant.
And now the hottest thing in the game industry must be Nintendo's sale of the game division, completely withdrawing from video game development, this matter is indeed deeply involved with Jester, whether it is Yamauchi Pu's heart attack, or the joint Sega and Sony to lower the price of Nintendo, it is not above board.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with digging each other's corners, so just from the matter of digging Miyamoto Shigeru, there is no place to attack Jester.
However, forcing Nintendo to sell game rights at a low price has many places to attack.
Got Richard. Garrett's hint to the reporter understood and immediately changed his question: "In that case, then Richard. Mr. Garrett, what are your thoughts on Nintendo's exit from the games industry? What impact do you think this will have on the video game industry as a whole? What is it? Good or bad? ”
After hearing the interview reporter ask this question, Richard . Garrett smiled mysteriously, and then a very sad look appeared on his face.
"To be honest, I'm a true Nintendo fan, and I can still remember the first time I played Donkey Kong in an arcade, and I can't believe that there is such a good and fun game in this world......"
Richard. Garrett first reminisced in a sad tone with a hint of reminiscence, portraying himself as a loyal Nintendo fan, even though he had never heard Richard before. Garrett talked about it.
Then, with a change of voice, he continued.
"I was very sad when I knew that Mr. Yamauchi had a heart attack and his life was in danger, because I have always regarded Mr. Yamauchi as an idol, and when I created Vizhen, Nintendo was my goal, and Mr. Yamauchi's personality charm has also deeply influenced countless gamers like me, and also inspired me, although in the end Mr. Yamauchi did not die because of this, but ......"
Saying, Richard. Garrett finally shifted the conversation to Minoru Arakawa's sale of the game division.
"Although I don't understand why Minoru Arakawa didn't inherit President Yamauchi's wishes and carry forward Nintendo's game division, you know, before President Yamauchi's accident, he just gave an internal lecture about Nintendo's all-out foray into the handheld game industry."
