Chapter 507: The Approaching E3 Exhibition
"It's simple."
Jester said lightly, waving his hand and motioning to Mark. Saini continued to listen to him.
"As we mentioned earlier, there will be many captives with different skills in the game, who will act as laborers on your pirate island, making cattle and horses for you."
"Another great advantage of captives is that they are much less demanding than ordinary residents or even pirates, and the player does not need to build additional entertainment or educational facilities for them. In addition, there are many buildings in the game that can only be built by captives who require specific skills. For example, if you want to build a brewery, you must capture a captive who knows the craft of brewing, and if you want to build a steelmill, you must capture a captive who knows the craft of steelmaking......"
Jester is obviously getting more and more excited about the game.
"In the game, each character has a different appearance and changes depending on their mood."
"Especially the pirates. When they get bored, they even kill for fun – which is a great way to show their cruel nature! If your pirate ship captain starts a fire, it's even worse. He would rebel with his pirates, not only would he not go to sea, but he would also cause chaos on the island. So, make sure your pirates have enough food in their pockets for them. ”
"Even ......"
Speaking of this, Jester paused slightly, and then said with some embarrassment: "Before, others were borrowing from my game, and now it's my turn to refer to some of other people's ideas, and this time I referred to Pete. Some of Molineux's thoughts......"
Hear Jester talk about Pete. Molineux, Mark. A puzzled look appeared on Seni's face, he was clearly unfamiliar with the developer.
Jester also saw Mark. This expression on Saini's face.
He prompted, "It's the British designer." Claudia found the ...... that developed "God is Crazy" "After hearing Jester talk about "God is Crazy Too", Mark . Seni also had a look of abrupt realization on his face.
That's the embarrassment of a lot of developers who have just become famous.
When you say their names, people may not remember them for a while, but when you say the game of fame, it may quickly remind people of it.
Even Mark. The same goes for this insider at Saini.
"I borrowed some of the disaster options set up by Molineux in "God is Crazy", and in this game, since it is on an island, there will definitely be some natural disasters. For example, volcanic eruptions, droughts, tornadoes, tsunamis, and so on. ”
Just as Jester was getting a little excited, Claudia moved on to the place after chatting with her friend.
She patted Jester on the shoulder.
"Still talking about work at the wedding?" As she spoke, Claudia frowned, as if she was a little angry, but Jester just smiled, and didn't seem to care, and Claudia couldn't hold back the stern expression on her face any longer. Laughed too.
"Actually, if you think about it, a wedding is just a cut."
Claudia said a little tiredly, and Jester could tell the tiredness on her face, after all, Claudia had been up since four o'clock in the morning to start today's makeup and other things. It is said that it took about an hour and a half just to wear that custom-made wedding dress.
And, as far as Jester knew, Claudia hadn't slept all night last night.
But Jester remembered what had happened last night. There was some guilt in his heart, he felt that he was still a little sorry for Claudia, but it was useless to say this. He really liked Claudia.
And Li Fuzhen ......
Thinking of this, Jester glanced at the woman who was standing with Lee Kun-hee in the distance last night, and he was still thinking about the ketone body like a beautiful jade and the enthusiastic person in his mind.
Claudia also noticed Jester's gaze, and she frowned a little suspiciously.
"I know she likes you too."
Then, she whispered in Jester's ear.
Jester's expression moved when he heard Claudia say this, and then he smiled indifferently, "Maybe." By the way, I chatted with Mr. Lee Kun-hee before, it seems that he is about to leave later, I don't know if Miss Lee Bo-jin will go together, if we go together, let's go and send it together. ”
Claudia thought for less than half a second, then agreed to Jester's suggestion.
Time flies by very quickly.
In fact, Jester had a good idea before, after the wedding, he would return to the United States immediately, in addition to the extremely intense game development, but also to prepare for the first E3 exhibition that will start soon.
This is also the first dedicated world game exhibition hosted by the World Video Game Association, which can be regarded as a grand event in the entire industry, and it is the first time it has been held, so the first impression of the participating manufacturers and reporters is also extremely important.
Most importantly, there is also a question of face.
After all, before the establishment of the World Video Games Association, Jester had negotiated with Sony and Nintendo on the distribution of benefits.
For example, it's this world-class game show hosted by the World Video Games Council.
It is divided into three.
One is the E3 exhibition, which is mainly for game developers and people in the video game industry, and is not open to ordinary players like ordinary players, only by invitation can participate, mainly by companies in the industry to release some new news in the industry, announce some new games and the like.
This project was Jester's ambition, and he did win it.
Moreover, Sega and Sony don't seem to be very interested in this exhibitor-centric game show, but they are very interested in the other one.
Since E3 is an exhibition with exhibitors as the core, it is natural that there will be an exhibition with player experience as the core.
In the view of Sega and Sony, it is not necessary for Jester to attach so much importance to an exhibition with development companies as the core, after all, game companies are different from consumer electronics manufacturers, and consumer electronics shows are indeed exhibitions with exhibitors as the core.
But the problem is that what was on display at CES was completely different from what was on display at the game show.
Game shows still mainly rely on making games well-known, because game companies make money, even if they are manufacturers of console platforms, the main profit growth point is still on the games sold, plus third-party royalties.
As for the hardware, as long as you don't lose money, it's good, and if you can make a little, it's a little.
But the CES show is a consumer electronics exhibition, and the exhibiting companies make money by selling these electronic products, which is something that has nothing to do with games.
The reason why so many game companies were so keen to participate in CES was because there was no world-class show in the video game industry.
Therefore, since the announcement of this year's E3 exhibition, the number of game exhibitors who have been eager to participate in the CES exhibition has immediately decreased by 90%, and these game development companies have shifted all their energy to this new exhibition belonging to the video game industry, E3 Exhibition.
As mentioned earlier, Sony and Sega are not interested in E3, they are interested in another new show with the player experience at the heart of the show.
Since it is an exhibition hosted by the World Electronics Association, it is natural that they will not collide with each other.
Therefore, there is one with the exhibition company as the core, and the other is naturally not the exhibition enterprise as the core, but to the most direct audience of the game, that is, the players, and in the end Jester did not insist, he also knew that since he won the E3 exhibition, then this new exhibition, he must give up to Sega and Sony.
As for how the two of them will tear apart, it is not for Jester to consider.
With player experience as the core, there will be a large number of opportunities for game trials and experiences at such exhibitions, and there will inevitably be activities such as the cosplay culture that has emerged through the Mars Entertainment Carnival, so that players can focus on participation.
E3, on the other hand, is different.
On E3, there will be no such bells and whistles, although E3 will also give players a lot of opportunities to experience, but compared to the Tokyo Game Show hosted by Sega and Sony, then this opportunity will be much less.
Such a game exhibition mainly relies on continuous, and major manufacturers continue to hold new press conferences.
At the press conference, these big manufacturers will send out their own new game trailers and the like.
Basically, the E3 exhibition is for these big manufacturers to release news for use, which can also attract the attention of the media the most.
As for which is better, E3 or Tokyo Game Show is better, this can only be said to be judged by time, at least in Jester's memory, in which of his worlds, E3 has always been the world's number one game show, and although the number of participants in the Tokyo Game Show is the first in the world, it can even reach several times that of E3.
But the influence of the industry, even in their peak years, the Tokyo Game Show has not surpassed E3.
As for the last exhibition to be considered, it is Jester and Richard. Garrett is betting on GDC, the Global Game Developers Conference, which is held once a year, in a rotating number of locations, and requires a bid. (To be continued......) R1071
