However, no matter how serious the game is, it is useless at all, this time Umehara Daigo did not achieve another two consecutive perfect kills to complete the elimination in advance, but for Umehara Daigo, it just took a little more time.

Jester also arrived at the scene during the qualifiers, but because it is a reincarnation game in batches, there will be no special spectator seats, this is just a small convention and exhibition center with a little decoration, the area is not large, dozens of people are crowded inside, it is still a little crowded, and if you want to watch the game here, you need to walk around the venue.

Tickets don't cost much, but the location of the tournament has not been disclosed, and it is a bit far from downtown Anaheim, so the people who come are basically not Mars Entertainment employees or their friends and families, but friends of the contestants.

As soon as Jester came, he found Daigo Umehara as if he was holding the moon - he was surrounded by a group of at least a dozen people, of course, the most eye-catching, Jester had seen a photo of Daigo Umehara before, and when he won the championship in the Tokyo finals, compared to the Daigo Umehara he had seen in his later life, he was of course very immature when he was less than ten years old now.

However, judging from the look on his face, it can be seen that he takes every game very seriously.

In addition to the "Street Fighter" competition, there is also the "National Rally" competition, for the "National American Rally", the development team of Mars Entertainment specially designed eight competitions for this competition, tested for nearly half a year, and released it to the public a month before the start of this qualifier, announcing that this is the map of the official competition.

The design of these eight game tracks is not a whim of the design team, but a real invitation to several retired racers and team coaches, after a lot of reference to their opinions, according to their opinions to design, straight lines and corners are just right, so on these eight tracks, you will find a lot of shadows of the tracks that have existed in reality.

It is also inevitable that it is impossible to design so many runways in a short period of time, and you can only borrow a lot from the runways in the real world.

And this time the arcade frame specially used for the competition is also specially made, and the cost price of each arcade frame for the competition is more than 10,000 US dollars - of course, Jester will naturally not do a loss-making business, except for a few units reserved after this carnival as a souvenir, most of the rest will be auctioned, and now he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell, because not long after he revealed the news, more than 100 people have already expressed their willingness to participate in the auction.

Jester took a turn in the qualifiers of the "National Rally", felt the atmosphere of the competition in full swing, and then left in a hurry after a few words of explanation to the person in charge of the scene, and now it is not long before the official opening of the carnival, and many things need to be handled by him.

In front of the Anaheim Convention and Exhibition Center, the people of Mars Entertainment are installing large poster advertising portraits on the glass curtain wall above the front of the Convention and Exhibition Center, a total of more than a dozen, all of which are characters in the most popular games of Mars Entertainment.

After all, this is a witness to his own hard work and struggle in the past four or five years, and the hard work spent has not been in vain, and the accumulation of Blizzard in the future for twenty-four years has only accumulated three commendable series, and now I have at least seven or eight games, or even more than ten games, and I have a large number of fans in the world, of course, I am now in the world of my memory, Nintendo in this period, It's nowhere near the level of Blizzard Entertainment, a small studio group that was founded in the nineties.

In Jester's memory, Nintendo's influence and power at this time are unique in the entire history of video games.

Now Jester still remembers an anecdote from Nintendo during this period, from which it is easy to see the domineering of Nintendo's sub-industry at this time, this anecdote is about Nintendo's power between Yamauchi Pu and Namco, who first betrayed Nintendo's royalty plan.

After Namco saw that they had no future with NEC's PC-E, they wanted to return to Nintendo's camp, although Nintendo agreed to their request, but they reduced their royalty treatment to the lowest level, equivalent to those third-rate small game companies, you know, Namco enjoyed Nintendo's highest level of royalty treatment, and the royalty for each cassette was only 100 yen, and it also had the right to burn the cassette by itself.

Among the franchisees of Nintendo's royalty program, there are only two companies that have these two privileges.

Just after Namco was furious and wanted to reason with Nintendo, they received a merciless reply from Yamauchi, which was basically the most domineering declaration in the history of video games.

Pu Yamauchi put it this way: "If you don't meet Nintendo's rules, then you go and make your own rules." ”

It's just that from these words in black and white, Jester can feel the obvious contempt of Yamauchi Pu or Nintendo, contempt for all domineering, and now he is far from being able to do this, at that time Nintendo almost dominated the entire video game industry, the highest market share of FC/NES once reached more than 90%, and now his own Dreambox market share, in the whole world, has only reached 70%, the highest in the United States, It can stabilize dìng at 80%, while the lowest in Japan and the highest reached 30%, but this market share cannot be stable for a long time, for example, Dreambox's market share in Japan can only be maintained at about 28%.

Although the carnival is still more than two days away before it officially opens, there are already many loyal fans lining up, and Jester has even seen that some people have already started to set up tents, as if it was a camping site.

There are even a lot of cosplay enthusiasts dressed up as their favorite game characters walking around, and from time to time players will come to take photos with those cosplayers who are dressed up very godlike, at this time Jester remembered that cosplay has always been an important part of video game culture, and Blizzard Entertainment, which has always been used as a reference template for carnivals, will have cosplay contests in each of their activities.

But it's too late to think about it now, this didn't do what was planned, you can only wait for the next time, and it's not very realistic to do it now.

The current Anaheim Convention Center is forbidden to enter, only those with special passes can enter, these are the staff of Mars Entertainment, and now when you look inside the convention center, it still looks very messy, but Jester participated in the on-site construction of the CJ Game Show in China before he was reborn, so it is not a big deal to see the clutter of the scene now.

Because he knows that now that the site is full of materials, it seems that he has not started to build it yet, but it is really built, and the speed is very fast.

"Have you tested the LAN communication problem?" After Jester circled around the venue, he arrived at the venue built for Quake after the carnival opened, where the game he had been busy for almost a year will be officially launched, and will introduce all players to a new way of playing, LAN battles.

Therefore, the requirements for LAN communication will be very high, not that there is anything complicated about building a LAN network, but this is the first time they have built such a network on such a large scale, a full 300 computers in the trial area of "Thor's Hammer", players who try to play here can choose to fight online or break through individually.

But in Jester's opinion, maybe someone will choose the mission mode to break through the level at first, but as time goes by, and it doesn't even take a morning, Jester can foresee that the vast majority of players will definitely choose to play online, which is also determined by the gameplay characteristics of games like FPS.

It wasn't Jester's guess, it was something he had summed up from the memories he had had in his head twenty years later.

In such a situation, the stability of the LAN is the first thing to be guaranteed.

"We've tested it many times, and there's no problem with the processing pressure on the server." The person in charge of the LAN construction in the venue said confidently, and after hearing this, Jester also nodded, temporarily relieved.

The venue will be divided into many venues, and in these different venues, there will be presentations or press conferences about different games at the same time, such as Taiki Matsuno's second game of Fire Emblem based on his own novel, Super Balotelli Racing, and Pokemon......

There are many such press conferences, and Jester chose the "Quake" press conference site among "Quake" and "Pokemon", and he personally came to promote it, which is the second time he has personally appeared on stage since he officially launched Dreambox at the CES exhibition in 85 years. R1152
