Chapter 684: Iron Fist
Although Yu Suzuki said so.
But in fact, "VR Warrior 2" is not as unbearable as he said.
Admittedly, this game is indeed not as shocking as the 3D fighting when VR Warrior first came out, but it is also not like what Yu Suzuki said, this is a game that should not be taken out.
Actually, it's very simple.
Previously, when Jester borrowed Yu Suzuki, Yu Suzuki was going to carry out the project, which was "VR Warrior 2", he had a lot of ideas for this game, and wanted to realize it in the second game, but because of the "Era" project, he had to give up this plan, but when he left, he still told the new development team about his thoughts on the sequel, and he also told the people of AM2 that if they have any special changes, they must notify him first.
Outcome......
You know, being able to take charge of a well-known project, if this game can be designed according to its own design, and be a big success, then the prestige you have gained is also unparalleled.
AM2 was created by Yu Suzuki and is good.
However, not everyone wants to be a deputy forever, so the person in charge of the new AM2 did not listen to Yu Suzuki's advice and acted arbitrarily.
Things are also divided into two sides, although the results are fame and fortune, and they can even replace Yu Suzuki as the soul of Sega, but if they fail, they will also be ruined.
The current 3D fighting market is facing a situation where there are no competitors in this market when it is not the time of "VR Warrior", not only Mars Entertainment's new 3D fighting game has entered the final stage of production and is ready to be released, but also, in the arcade market, second only to Sega's Namco. I am also preparing a 3D fighting game.
The most important thing is that just a few months after the release of "VR Warrior 2", it will have to face the impact of "Iron Fist" of Mars Entertainment.
Whether "VR Warrior 2" can take over the dominance of this type of game from "VR Warrior" is still ambiguous, after all, Mars Entertainment is not an ordinary game company.
This is different from their previous works of a real nature, but a game that sharpens a sword in two years.
Demerits are naturally extremely disappointing for Sega.
"VR Warrior 2" did not withstand the impact of "Iron Fist" at all, and even failed very miserably. This makes Sega even more angry, because they are already weak in the console market, but they can recover a lot of profits from large arcade machines to supplement the console, although Mars Entertainment's large somatosensory arcade machines also have a part of the market, but it is still different from Sega.
On top of that, Sega has also carved out a new market share with VR Warriors, which is even bigger than their profits on large arcade machines.
So, it's almost impossible for Sega to give up.
And Sega, on the other hand. I didn't expect that "VR Warrior 2" would be so vulnerable, and "Iron Fist" would be so imposing.
In particular, the tyrant system and the milk-shake system are simply the two biggest killers.
So, not willing to fail, Sega. On the one hand, the media on his own side angrily sprayed "Iron Fist" to sell meat, which is not a real fighting game at all, and it is a way to win the market. It's simply a shame for fighting games, and as a result, this move made Itagaki Companion extremely angry, and even when Itagaki Companion was interviewed. When someone asked him about the development of "VR Warrior", Itagaki said unceremoniously.
"I know what you mean, you're trying to say that Tekken borrows a lot from VR Warriors...... But I don't want to say that to you SBs right now, I just want to say a little bit about my evaluation of VR Warrior, in my eyes, the two games I hate the most, one is called VR Warrior and the other is called VR Warrior 2. ”
After Jester knew about this, he was also a little speechless, he didn't expect that in the original history, Itagaki Banxin's dislike for "Iron Fist" was transferred to "VR Warrior".
If you don't know, forget it, the problem is that Jester is extremely clear.
Itagaki was a die-hard fan of VR Warrior before, and that's why he was so excited when Jester handed over the development rights to Tekken, because in his opinion, it was an opportunity for him to pay homage to his favorite game, and he would add his understanding of fighting games to the game.
Moreover, Jester also knew that in the original history, the development of Itagaki Yonobu's "Dead or Alive" was strongly supported by AM2, and Yu Suzuki also personally guided it.
Therefore, for Yu Suzuki, Itagaki Companion has always respected him as his mentor, and even at a later game exhibition, Itagaki Companion faced an interview and said that without Suzuki Hiroshi there would be no such very emotional words as he is today.
But I didn't expect that in this world, Itagaki Companion didn't have a chance to make a grudge with "Iron Fist", but he formed a grudge with "VR Warrior".
Itagaki Companion's undisguised anger made Sega extremely angry.
They bluntly said that "Tekken" can only be proud for a while, and it will definitely be forgotten by players over time.
In fact, although "Iron Fist" has added the violent clothes system and the shake-breast system, which are liked by many people and are also angry by many people, although "Iron Fist" is not inferior to "VR Warrior" in the fighting system, which is why "Iron Fist" can directly grab half of the market share of "VR Warrior" in just a few months, and it is still expanding.
Sega couldn't sit still.
This is a loss that they absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Therefore, they immediately contacted Yu Suzuki, wanting Yu Suzuki to come back to preside over the overall situation, take charge of the development of "VR Fighter 3", and let them redeem their defeat.
But the problem now is that the contract between Sega and Jester has only been fulfilled for three years, and there are still two years left before the agreed five years, although Jester has only developed one game in the five years he promised, but now the time has not come, and it is impossible for Sega to unilaterally break the contract.
This made it very difficult for Sega, they wanted to contact Jester to discuss this matter, but how could Jester agree to the other party so easily, although the part of the combat system that Suzuki Yu was responsible for was almost completed now, but Jester knew that if Suzuki Yu went back to be in charge of "VR Fighter 3" again.
Then this family is really likely to come back to life. (To be continued......)
