This is just the attitude of graphics card manufacturers and game manufacturers that have long become a consensus in later generations, in fact, as long as you think about it, you know, why does a computer use such a powerful graphics card? Obviously, whether you use WORD to type or use playback software to watch movies, you can't use such a high-performance graphics card, what are these graphics cards used for?

The answer is obvious.

In fact, on the road of graphics cards, graphics card manufacturers have no choice, they must continue to launch stronger and stronger graphics cards, because if they don't do this, they will be surpassed by other graphics card manufacturers, and their technical accumulation will become worthless, and they can't think about whether users need such a powerful graphics card, and in order to sell their graphics cards that completely exceed the user's upper limit, they will inevitably have to be in cahoots with the game company.

Because only high-effect games can give users the motivation to consume high-performance graphics cards, so the performance of graphics cards is getting higher and higher, and the effect of games is getting better and better.

Hung up the phone with He Guoyuan, although he had already told the other party the idea of establishing a high-end game computer brand, but this is a matter of the future, and there is no need to worry about it for the time being, and his current affairs are still to do a good job in the few games at hand and the CES exhibition with Nintendo's FC head-to-head at the beginning of next year.

After the establishment of the European branch, a qiē was carried out in an orderly manner, and the release time of the European version of the electronic pet machine and the world wind card was discussed several times, and finally set for Christmas, which is also Claudia's construction, in fact, Jester feels that the time is a little tight, although Christmas is the most vigorous period of consumption in Europe and the United States, especially this kind of toy-like things, the sales of the Christmas period can even catch up with one-fifth or more of the annual sales.

This is also a must for European and American businesses.

Of course, the more important reason is Claudia's package, although the European branch has been established in name, but because the company has just been established, even the sales channel in the UK has not yet been established, let alone the distribution of goods in other European continents, but Claudia promised to establish a complete channel before Christmas, and Jester did not want to worry too much about the European side, and also agreed to Claudia's proposal.

Inviting players to test is also coming to an end, every tester needs to submit their test feedback, if the feedback is good, then you will get the opportunity to come to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment for game testing, which is an unspeakable for many players**, after all, you can play games that have not yet been released in advance, and you can also see how your favorite games are made.

Jester meets Rob Pardo in the game lounge at Mars Entertainment.

This room is specially opened up for employees who feel tired at work to relax, there are many games in it - their own company or other companies, of course, there is no shortage of the most popular Nintendo red and white machines, there are many types of desktop battle flags or role-playing games, and even cards of the world, this card game has recently sparked a wave within Mars Entertainment, many designers are not even playing Nintendo's FC and the zone is playing this interesting card game together.

Jester was actually a little moved when he received Rob Pardo's letter before, after all, the other party's fame is too great, in later generations, he was once called the soul of Blizzard by countless Blizzard fans, of course, this also includes Jester himself, but he is still too young.

And Rob Pardo is very different from John Carmack.

John Carmack's strength is programming, and he is not very good at how to design a game, and the design of the game in his later ID software is done by others, and he only does the engine or deals with technical problems. What he's good at is making a good game smoother, with better effects and fewer bugs, so after he proposed a detailed plan, Carmack only needs to program it himself, and to put it bluntly, Jester is using Carmack as a high-level coder.

And Carmack did a good job in this process, although his recent letter complained that Jester gave him a task that was too simple, but he was very interested in the full-scrolling technology of "The Avengers" shown on the player demo, and asked Jester why he didn't give him such a difficult and challenging task, of course, Jester's complaints about Carmack were automatically ignored.

Rob Pardo is different, his strength is not how to program, but how to design a game.

Originally, after writing a letter with an encouraging tone, Jester didn't pay much attention to this matter, these months, he was so busy that he flew from the easternmost part of the earth to the westernmost part, and even when he had free time to take a break, he couldn't help but think about the design of the game, and after returning to the company, he coordinated the development of several completely different styles of games at the same time, working overtime until late at night every day, tired like a dog, and really had no leisure to remember such a teenager who was not helpful to him for the time being.

But gold shines at all times and under all circumstances.

For example, the letter he wrote to GAME magazine that wanted to come to Mars Entertainment to participate in the game test put forward a lot of constructive suggestions, and even made Adrian can't wait to fax the contents of the letter overnight.

And on the feedback submitted for this test, this teenager has a soft spot for the game "Avengers".

According to the company's employees, Rob Pardo spent almost most of his time on "Avengers", it seems that this game has far more appeal to him than other games, and it stands to reason that this is also the way it should be, after all, the quality of "Avengers" is a game that Jester himself has experienced, if it is a fighting beat 'em up game, this game has basically reached the extreme that an eight-bit arcade can achieve.

In particular, the fluidity of the characters' movements in it has not been reflected in any eight-bit arcade machine even in the previous world.

However, when Jester saw the feedback report submitted by Rob Pardo, he was a little shocked and speechless, and the young man saw some of the things he and Mark Saini had in mind when redesigning the game, and wrote them as a feedback report for the game's planning.

"Sit." Looking at Rob Pardo, who had just come in and was still a little restrained, Jester sat on the sofa and waved his hand, threw the FC handle in his hand again, and pointed to the empty place next to him.

Rob Pardo glanced at the TV with some curiosity at the constantly playing electronic music, the TV screen was a game image that he had not seen before, he had seen the picture of the game console connected to the TV, and he had seen the introduction of this game console in the last issue of "GAME", which seemed to be the game console released by Nintendo in Japan last year.

As soon as he sat down next to Jester, Jester threw the secondary controller to him, and then Jester smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just play a game at a friend's house, have you ever been to a friend's house to play an Atari or an Odyssey?" ”

"Hmm." Rob Pardo nodded, his demeanor much lighter when he heard Jester's words.

"It's good to have played, that's the state, play this game with me, it's very good." Jester smiled again, and he carefully introduced Rob Pardo, "This game is called Motocross Moto, and it was just released by Nintendo on FC this year...... By the way, FC you know, right? ”

Rob Pardeau nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen it in GAME." ”

"Okay, I'll tell me how to play this game, play with me for a while, and then I'll talk about what I'm looking for you." Jester patted Rob Pardo on the shoulder like a brother and introduced him to the game.

Before they knew it, the two of them were quickly passing an hour in the alternating game, and Rob Pardo didn't have the slightest reserved look when he just came in, as if he was really just a big brother a few years older than him, teaching him to play a fun game that he had never played before.

When the game was over again, Jester pressed the pause button, then turned to Rob Pardo and smiled and asked, "How is this game?" ”

"Great!" Almost without thinking, Rob Pardo blurted out.

This was also in Jester's expectation, it was also his favorite game back then, especially like to build his own track and start the race, and just now the two of them were mainly playing this mode, Jester and Rob Pardo designed a variety of tracks to play the game, in this hour, the heat exchange brought by this game made the two barely feel the passage of time.

"Do you want to make a game like this?" Then Jester asked again.

This question instantly made Rob Pardo stunned on the spot, he first looked at Jester with a gentle smile on his face, and then stretched out his finger to point at himself, and asked me a little incredulously, seeing that Jester's face did not change in the slightest, but only nodded his expression, and his face showed a look of excitement in the next moment.

"Don't get excited."

Jester spoke first to appease Rob Pardo, and then he pulled out a few pieces of manuscript paper full of his own manuscript from a paper folder placed on the side, and then Jester said to him with a smile, "I read the planning of your game, and I also handed it over to the director of Mark Saini, the producer of "The Avengers", he was very curious about you when he heard that you were a high school student, and he wanted to see you today, but because he had something to do for the time being today, he couldn't pull away, so I had to come, I'm still curious, though, how did you come up with this idea while playing this game? ”
