Chapter 208: Heavy Gear Complete
The launch of the Dreambox in Europe has also been very successful, and there is a lot of cultural identity between Europe and North America, and although Nintendo's NES was released a few months earlier, it is still far from being comparable to Mars Entertainment when it comes to influence.
It's only been on sale for a month, and in terms of sales of game consoles, it has equaled Nintendo's results in the past three months.
Among them, the hot sales of "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure" and "Fire Emblem" are indispensable, and Nintendo can't find any other better way to sell them in addition to constantly launching games bundled with game consoles, after all, if you want to sell game consoles, you must first have games that make players worth buying.
In November, "Heavy Loader" also entered the finishing touches, and the initial testing gradually began, Nintendo's "Metroid" was developed a period of time ahead of "Heavy Loader", and it is said that it is only an ACT game, and the content and length are far less than RPG games, but I don't know what the reason is, to "Heavy Loader" is about to reach the release specifications, and there is no accurate news delivered.
As far as the result of Jester's discussion with the company is concerned, it may not be that Nintendo is afraid of itself because of the failure of the previous head-on confrontations, but that it wants to have a wave of outbreaks during the Christmas period.
The strategy for the sale of Christmas, in fact, if not for the recent Sid. Mel's new game, Sid. Mel's Age of Discovery is also in the final stages, and if the news comes in early December, he may have to postpone the release date of his Heavy Loader until around Christmas.
After all, Christmas is the most important shopping season for European and American countries.
Jester also went to Santa Monica to see Sid in person. Mel's studio, as well as a bit of a trip to his Age of Discovery game that had been completed. Overall, it's pretty good, and that's because Jester has played a lot of nautical games. Compared with those games in later generations, this game has no innovation in terms of gameplay and system.
But. This is not the era of those later generations that have been played badly, but the pioneering work, as far as the pioneering work is concerned, although in Jester's opinion, there are still many places that can be changed, but he thinks of Sid. Mel's character, so he can't say much, because in this era. This game is already good enough.
A month ago, the marketing department began to promote Jester's new game in various media outlets, and there are also members of the development team who participate in interviews with a certain game magazine or program from time to time, revealing some details of the new game, and there will also be some news that is said to be circulated insiders in the newspapers.
This is all a method that Jester learned from later game companies, it is not new, he has done it before, and Nintendo has also learned it well.
Sid isn't the only one that's ready to go on sale around Christmas. Mel's new game, Shinno's new work of Dark Glory is also intended to be released around Christmas, and this time Dark Glory will release both the PC version and the Dreambox version. However, at Jester's request, the PC version will be delayed by about two to three months.
Essentially, it doesn't matter if Dark Glory doesn't delay the release of the PC version. After all, SLG games are only a niche, although people who like to play are more die-hard, but the overall number, compared to the entire player group, is still relatively small.
However, for Jester, Darkglory's historical strategy game is one of the few tools he uses to expand Dreambox's share in the Japanese, which is the reason why he really wants to postpone the release of the PC version. After all, it's not the afterlife, and the "Day" himself who plays games on PC is still a large number.
Dark Rong is now gradually discovering the vastness of the North American market. In particular, I saw the sky-high dollar earned by several games of Mars Entertainment in the North American market, coupled with the fortune of Capcom switching to the camp. They were also extremely jealous, so they did not give up the development of the Japanese history game, and also began to make a European history SLG game.
Jester just asked about the news.,Dark Rong's reply said that it was a game based on the Napoleonic era.,Similar to Shinno.,But the background was changed to Europe after the French Revolution.,Jester likes to play Dark Rong's game very much.,In later generations, he was a fan of the Three Kingdoms series.,The Shinno series is also not a must-play.,But I really haven't played the same style of SLG game of European history.。
As for the four cutes of the P Society, the European Storm or something, it's a completely different type, and the game of the P Society is too tired, and Jester doesn't like it very much, but it's the simple SLG of Dark Rong, which makes him feel fun.
Jester understands the history of Dark Glory, and vaguely remembers that they did make a similar game for the European and American markets after joining Nintendo's third-party alliance, but that game is relatively niche, and Jester hasn't played it, but judging from the fact that Dark Rong only came out later and didn't continue to come out, the results may not be too good.
However, what game the other party makes is the other party's business.,As long as the game of the dark Rong system zuò is excellent,,He will allow the other party to release it in Dreambox.。
In the eyes of the outside world, Jester is a very strange person, as the youngest billionaire in the United States, but in addition to developing games, he can't find any personal hobbies, and the only news about his hobbies may be the news that he went to White Hart Lane with his girlfriend to watch Manchester United games when he went to London.
However, this is also more believed that he accompanied his girlfriend to watch games, not that he liked to watch them, you know, basically everyone is a football fan, and very few Englishmen hated football as much as Margaret Thatcher.
White Hart Lane is the home of London team Tottenham Hotspur, and Jester's girlfriend grew up in London's West End.
In addition, there is hardly any other media to take the slightest photo of Jester that can clearly show his interest, and Jester is a very dislike of diplomacy, rarely attends any social events, no matter what the organizer invites, and never even accepts media interviews.
The outside world understands Jester like a person who likes to hide in his castle and control a qiē and create the world.
The casting of "The Avengers" has basically ended, except for some controversy over the choice of the female number one, that is, the sister of the male protagonist's abducted wife, the young girl who is proficient in Chinese boxing, Jester didn't want to get involved after hearing about it, but he was watching a French movie with Claudia who came to the United States, called "First Kiss", the heroine is Sophie, who Jester was very familiar with before he was reborn, known as the Rose of France. Marceau, Jester had also heard of this film, but he was not a movie fan in his previous life, and this film was too old, so he hadn't seen it.
If Claudia hadn't dragged him to watch it this time, he probably wouldn't have watched such a film.
At that time, Jester was watching this movie at home, and the person in charge of the movie at MGM added a meeting, after all, MGM's recent economic situation is not very good, and Mars Entertainment invested 60% of this movie, although Jester also agreed to the problem of the film and let the film company make its own ideas, but for the largest investor, it is also necessary to understand every aspect of the progress of the film.
When Jester heard that the role of the female number one had not yet been decided, it was also at this time that he just pointed to Sophie on the video. Marceau said, I think I'm about the same age, and I'm also very beautiful, so I think it's okay.
And the people at MGM also looked at it carefully for a while, and thought it was quite appropriate, so they agreed to contact it.
Just a few days ago, Jester received a call from MGM, after all, the person was recommended by him at the time, and it was necessary to inform Jester whether it was successful or not, and the result was that the discussion was very smooth, and Sophie, who became independent from the French company Gaumont last year. Marceau also needed to do everything he could to get rid of the 1 million franc debt, so he was interested in MGM's invitation, which was obviously a lot higher than that of the European studios.
Although it is a commercial film that she has always disdained.
For Jester, he just smiled and put it aside, but when he was bored, he still felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, he was also the dream lover in the minds of countless men around the world in the future, but I don't know if this French rose came to Hollywood ten years in advance, can change her original fate in history.
Jester is not interested in this, in fact, he is already messing with the Pole Sophie. Marceau, Jester wasn't very interested.
The review of "Heavy Loader" magazine was also published in the latest issue, although it was as high as ever, but in terms of rating, they only gave a very conservative evaluation of 38 points, for the previous Jester's "Fire Emblem" of 41 points, Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda" of 39 points, this score is not too high.
In fact, in Jester's heart, he is not too satisfied with the development of "Heavy Loader" this time, probably because the previous "Fire Emblem" had too deep an impact on the development team, and in the development process of "Heavy Loader", most of the personnel have not been able to get rid of the brilliant success of the previous game, although the game produced is also remarkable, but compared with the shock of "Fire Emblem" when it came out, it is not the same.
