Chapter 481: Gambling
Therefore, people in the forum also came out to spray against Jester's fans.
These are also not nutritious for spraying.
After a heated argument, neither side could convince the other, after all, Jester really didn't release an RPG game on PC, and Richard. Garrett's position in RPG games is even more well-known.
But in the end, the two sides still came up with a final plan.
That's a bet.
Bet on "Rune Guardian" and Richard. How Garrett's latest Genesis book sells.
When I interviewed Mars Entertainment before, the people of Mars Entertainment said that "Rune Guardian" will be released in the next three months, because it is a small game, and it is not the company's main promotion work, so even if Jester's work, Mars Entertainment has not done special promotion activities.
And, as Jester's work, this in itself is already the best publicity.
And Richard. Garrett's latest "Genesis 4" happens to be released at about the same time.
One is Richard. Garrett is a traditional American RPG game that fans of American RPGs regard as gods, such as Richard. Garrett is here, then the quality of this game is definitely guaranteed, the other is Jester's game, and Jester's fans say it most often.
It is a special production of Jace ◎$, and it must be a high-quality product.
The most bet is on the sales of these two games, and it can be regarded as a bet that makes both parties agree.
Although Jester has had PC games, both of which have sold more than three million mythical records, but this is not an RPG game after all, RPG players are still relatively traditional, they are only interested in traditional American RPG games, such as these RPG players on PC, have always been exaggerated for design, superficial. Japanese-style RPGs that don't pay attention to the most important story and plot of RPGs are the most disdainful.
Jester is also one of the founders of this type of game.
Of course, at the end of the bet, Richard. Garrett supporters have also stated that sales of the game are limited to North America, and that it is only limited to the first month.
Because Jester's games are basically long-selling.
If the world is set too long, then there is no doubt that Jester has a great advantage.
As for the stakes, it's not a big deal.
Is. The losing side publishes an apology statement on the game, and the content of the statement is determined by the winning side.
This was almost the first debate about the game that took place on the Internet.
Plus, during this time, Jester's new game with Richard. Garrett's interview was the news of this time, so this gamble was used as a time to be published by many game media.
Mars Entertainment Headquarters.
Mark. Saini had just returned from Japan, and as soon as he returned, he arrived at Jester's office with a copy of Game magazine.
Before he could speak.
Jester glanced at him. Said with a smile.
"You're here to tell me about Richard. Garrett's thing? ”
This makes Mark. Saini was surprised, but after a blink of an eye, he figured out that he was now qualified to take the initiative to talk to Jester about it. Maybe except for herself, it's Claudia.
"What do you think?"
Jester smiled and tapped a finger on the copy of Game he had set aside.
"Mark, you should know. At the end of this year, there will be the first GDC conference, which is what we did with Sega last year. At the end of each year, a game developer conference will be held to review the video game industry over the past year, and select some games that best represent the game industry that year, as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award. ”
Hearing Jester say this, Mark. Seni nodded abruptly.
He knew what Jester meant.
Richard. Garrett was one of the candidates to receive the inaugural GDC Lifetime Achievement Award, and of course, Jester was too.
However, the possibility of both of them winning awards is not very large.
It's not that the two of them are any worse than the other candidates. Just because, Richard. Garrett and Jester's qualifications are still a bit shallow, although Richard. Garrett has a much earlier career in the gaming world than Jester, but it's not enough for the real veterans of the video game world.
And there are even more reasons why Jester is unlikely to win the award.
Jester didn't officially make games until '84, but video games have existed for a long time before that, not to mention the tennis game on the oscilloscope in the National Chamber of Nuclear Physics in the United States a few decades ago, that is, Atari, which is enough to represent the progress of video games before '84.
Everyone knows that Jester is definitely going to be able to get it.
Because from '84 to the present '90, Jester's achievements and influence in the world video game industry are recognized and unshaken.
But Richard. Garrett is different.
His influence is only limited to RPG games, and he is like Shigeru Miyamoto, who developed "The Legend of Zelda", Yuji Zuii, the maker of "Dragon Quest", and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the developer of "Final Fantasy......
These people are qualified to compete with him for the title of leader of RPG games.
GDC is the World Game Developers Conference, which is to discuss games around the world, not only in North America, not only in PC games, and even now is the era when consoles have the absolute right to speak, he only has the right to speak in the RPG field of PC games, in other aspects.
He also does not have the qualifications to compare with the other party.
Moreover, the Wei Zhen where he is located is not as rich as the other party.
"You mean, you're using your fame to build momentum?" Mark. Saini asked a little suspiciously, and when he thought about it, many problems were indeed solved.
After all, in addition to having many fans and great fame, Jester is also the founder of the World Electronics Association, although the qualification of the World Electronics Association is based on game companies, but for Jester, Mars Entertainment is no different from himself.
In this case, ordinary people will not take the initiative to provoke Jester.
Not to mention the criticism that Jester's game has no merit in the slightest, this kind of words that do not go through the brain.
Jester didn't answer Mark directly. Instead, he took out a table and reached out and pointed to the middle of the form.
This is a list of games that will be released in North America in the next three to three months.
The place Jester pointed to was Richard. Garrett's new game.
Genesis 4.
Jester hadn't heard of this game, and he probably guessed it was because of the changes he had caused to reality by his arrival. Garrett made a game that he didn't have in his original history, and that's all possible.
"I see."
Mark. Seni was a little angry, and he stretched out his fist and slammed the table.
"Richard, he wants to step on you? Know that your game was released around the same time as him! But ......"
Saying, Mark. Seni frowned again.
"He's so confident in his game, the sales must be better than yours?"
"Huh."
Jester hears Mark. Saini was puzzled, he just chuckled, and he flipped through the "game" magazine on his desk, and turned to the information about the Internet, Richard. The article on the gamble between Garrett fans and Jester's fans.
"Here."
Jester pointed, Mark. Saini didn't read it, because he also had Jester's "Game" magazine, and the one he held in his hand was.
"Didn't he mark the area for you?"
Jester sneered with some disdain, and said in the discussion, intentionally or unintentionally, that we don't plan to vigorously promote this game or anything, isn't this just a way out for ourselves, in case of losing, then they can also say, it's just our propaganda.
"It's only one month, the first month of sales, and the scope is limited to North American ......"
Come to think of it, Mark. Saini couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Jace, you know these RPG players in North America, they still like Richard. Garrett has a little more games, and the audience of RPGs on PC and RPGs on consoles is not the same way, and your game is very different from traditional American RPGs, I'm a little worried that your game won't be accepted by these PC players......"
Jester listened to Mark with a smile on his face. Saini finished.
Then he continued to reply in a very firm tone: "Mark, in fact, you have thought about too many things, I will only ask you one question, do you think the game "Runestone Guardian" is fun?" ”
"It's fun."
Mark. Saini replied without the slightest hesitation, in this game, Jester's various random, through countless random elements, the way it is composed of a game, is indeed much more playable, and even overcomes the big shortcomings of an RPG game.
That is, every time you open a file, you will play the same content.
But in "Rune Guardian", you don't need to worry at all, no matter how you open the file, then you don't have to worry at all, you will play the exact same map you have played before, it can be said that every time you start the game, there will be a big surprise waiting for you.
Of course, because of this, this game, also in the company, is called, a game that completely depends on the quality of the face and determines the difficulty. (To be continued......)
