With Jester's roar of the carnival officially began, the anger of the entire carnival party was pushed to a climax.

This time there is not only a lot of attention and a lot more supporters than last year's esports project, but also a cosplay project that has only been officially included in the carnival competition unit since this year, although Jester is not very interested in this, including in his previous life, he doesn't know why this project is so popular.

But after seeing that there were a large number of players, cheering for the costumes of the characters in the game, and taking pictures with them, Jester thought about the cosplay competition that would definitely be there at this kind of large-scale game show in the future.

So, at the second carnival, it was added.

What players need and crave is what we want to do, and this is also a creed that Jester has adhered to since he founded Mars Entertainment.

After Jester gave this speech, he was going to fly to the United Kingdom, for the simple reason that he had been working day and night as a maker for two games this year, and he also had to worry about the World Video Game League and the second Mars Entertainment League, basically there was no rest at all this year.

Therefore, Jester also decided that after the carnival, the last major event of the year, he would give himself a long vacation.

As for the game "Runestone Guardian", which is not too big, Jester plans to start making it after the Chinese New Year, because he has to travel to the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean after a holiday in the United Kingdom, and he accepts the invitation, or rather, the country's response to his reaction to the events of this year, they invite him to the annual Chinese New Year Gala, and Jester agrees to the request after careful consideration.

"The presentation was a success."

In the car heading to the airport, Mark. Seni said to Jester from the bottom of his heart.

Jester smiled noncommittally, he actually had a lot of references in his speech just now. Mo Huaimi's speech at the opening ceremony of the BlizzCon in 2013 was only slightly adapted, and that time BlizzCon Jester watched the live broadcast on the Internet, and it was accurate that it was fire, it was pirated, and he thought that Mike. Mo Huaimi's speech was exciting.

"I may have to discuss with Claudia on this vacation, and finalize the marriage between the two of us, probably not back for a few months, and next month's Christmas sales war will depend on you."

Jester didn't say anything about his previous speech, but went straight to Mark. Saini talked about the next work, and the Christmas sales battle in previous years was not directly responsible for Jester, but Mark. Saini will pay attention to this event, which is a major event for the company in a year.

"Hmm."

Mark. Saini didn't talk nonsense, just nodded, he heard Jester say that he was going to get married, and there was a faint smile on his face, and at the same time, he also teased Jester in his mouth: "Claudia has complained to me a lot in recent years, always saying that you treat her badly." ”

Jester was taken by Mark. Saini's words were a little embarrassing, he sighed and said: "Over the years, I really feel a little sorry for her to let her be alone in Europe, and besides, she came to see me after a while, but I rarely had time to see her." ”

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard." Mark. Saini is telling the truth, as a game company that has formed a scale and has seven or eight games in development at the same time, there is really no need, and a boss like him is still developing games on the front line of development.

For example, although he also likes to make zuò games, he usually only makes one every year or two, so that he will have more free time and will not be able to spend time with his wife and children.

Mark. Seni got married more than a year ago and had children before they got married.

"You don't understand."

Jester just said in a very flat tone, and then he seemed to think a little more before adding, "Time is running out." ”

Before you know it, the car has arrived at the airport.

Before getting out of the car, Jester seemed to remember something, and he was very serious about Mark. Saini said: "Yes, Mark, you can help me pay attention to the development process of Dreambox3 during my absence, this time our development guiding ideology is to guide hardware development with software as the core, the previous two times, we developed the hardware first, and then considered how to develop the game on the basis of the hardware, and I am in my prediction, the future game market, will be dominated by hardware vendors, and become dominated by software vendors." ”

Jester also said this at the previous high-level meeting, but many people think that Jester is alarmist, because with the establishment of the World Electronics Association, Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony, have reached a cooperation, these three almost control the entire hardware platform, those third-party game manufacturers, as long as they want to mix in this industry, then they must follow the rules they set.

"It won't be like this." Obviously, Mark. Saini also agrees with this point of view, in his opinion, Mars Entertainment, which has become the maker of industry rules, is unlikely to decline in a short period of time.

There was a faint glimmer of light in Jester's eyes, and he still had that faint tone.

"It is true that you would like to keep the present form unchanged, but the most important problem is that no one likes to be subservient."

Mark. Saini also thought that Jester would talk about those third-party developers, especially those who are not honest like EA, and EA had the idea of uniting with other companies to launch its own console, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard by Jester's sudden measures to carve up the market by the World Video Game Association, which made them temporarily dispel this idea.

Besides, even Nintendo has flinched, do other third-party manufacturers still have the courage?

Therefore, Mark. Seni spoke truthfully about his doubts.

This is also the thinking of many people in the company, and Jester can't completely change their opinions, but he still hopes that Mark . Saini was able to go with him, he thought for a moment, organized the wording, and then said: "They are indeed inferior to Nintendo, and it can even be said that they are far worse than Nintendo, but have you ever thought that these third-party developers are not capable of shaking the foundation of this pattern, but what about the companies that have completed this situation with us?" ”

Hearing Jester's words, Mark. Seni was startled, he knew what Jester was talking about.

"You mean Sega and Sony? They ......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, because Jester said this, it was enough, no one was willing to submit to others, and the forbearance of the moment must be for the counterattack in the future, which is an immutable theorem.

"I'm not worried about Sega, I'm worried about Sony."

Regarding Jester's attention to Sony, everyone in the company's top management knows it, and even, in Jester's eyes, Sega's threat is not as great as the previous Nintendo.

"yes, for a behemoth like Sony, as long as they are willing to pay, then there is almost nothing they can't do." Mark. Saini also agrees with Jester that Sega, like them, specializes in the game industry, and most importantly, Sega doesn't make as much money as they do, and it makes a lot more than Sega.

The development of games, the laying of channels, as well as the research and development of hardware, and the recruitment of talents, in the final analysis, are all about money doing work, and if you have money, you can have a qiē, although this sentence is a bit absolute, but there is still some truth, in terms of money, research and development, channels and talents, it is not as good as its own Sega.

No matter what clever tricks they have, they can easily be cracked by themselves, which is their biggest flaw, and the reason why Jester doesn't take them seriously.

But that's not the case with Sony.

"Let's not talk about this now, you just need to remind the development team of Dreambox3, let them listen to the opinions of those game makers, you must know that the essence of game consoles is to make games, therefore, game consoles should be in the development of games, to provide maximum convenience for game developers, which is why I abandoned the dual-CPU architecture in Dreambox2, which is too unfavorable to the development of games."

For this point, Mark. Saini was also deeply convinced.

He is a game developer, so he agrees with this point very much, in fact, Sony's later failure in the early days of PS3 is because all the developers listen to the hardware engineers, and ignore the opinions of software developers, resulting in PS3 After the development of the system, there is a powerful function, but the development of games on the PS3 is extremely painful.

And it is precisely because of Mark. It was only when Saini was the chief architect of PS that he set things right and made the PS4 a game console that was made for gaming from the ground up.

This is a very big step forward for Sony's hardware R&D organization, allowing them to go from the arbitrariness of hardware developers to the right track of hardware and software developers to discuss development together, and most importantly, sales will not deceive.

PS4 sales are indeed brilliant, when the total sales of PS4 exceeded 20 million units, the sales of their old rival XBO were only less than 12 million.

In this next-generation competition, PS4 can be said to have won a big victory. R1152
