"Really?!"

Self. Darkwater couldn't believe his ears, he really didn't expect his boss to ask him that, although he had thought so before, but when it really came true, the excitement was still irrepressible.

He was taken the initiative by his boss to transplant this game to the home console.,And it's also a new console.,This was originally a very optimistic about his game.,Although he himself also felt that his game was indeed the best one in the past four or five years.。

But what you think is fundamentally different from what others think, let alone your boss, who is currently an authority in the field of Hunger Games development?

"In fact, from this game, I can clearly see that your ability has not decreased, and the idea is not outdated, the game is very interesting, the difficulty is suitable, and there is a very hardcore feeling, so, I think you can go to the kind of big zuò before."

Jester's footsteps were almost to the door of the development room, but he still stopped and continued to look at the Saifer who had been following him. "I hope you don't make the same mistakes you used to make, and that you treat games as if you were your own children," Darberwater said...... To be honest, my first thought after I saw the game you just made was that you were still making a console game, but I thought that the style of this game seemed to fit the style of the console very well, so I asked if you wanted to port the game yourself. ”

It doesn't take long to port the game, and the arcade version of "Metal Slug" can be officially sold in less than half a month, but the volume of arcade games is not too large, and the overall sales of 100,000 substrates are considered good results.

And to change the arcade game to the home machine, many things need to be re-optimized, and even some content needs to be remade, because the performance of the home machine is definitely not as good as the arcade base version of the era, and it is inevitable to make a certain amount of castration.

This kind of transplant also depends on the experience and level of the designer, and you must have an extreme understanding of the original game to be competent.

It's like when Capcom transplanted their "1942" which was a great success on the arcade machine, they felt that transplanting the game was a technical thing, so they let people transplant it casually, and the final result was transplanted, but the FC version of "1942" was buggy and criticized, and it couldn't be compared with the arcade version at all, so Capcom lost its reputation on the home machine, and then I don't know how much effort and effort it took to get it back.

And what is excellent in this aspect is the K Society.,It's undeniable,Jester was not reborn before,,It's true that I like the K Society very much.,Maybe it's the reason for Aiwu and Wu.,He likes Hideo Kojima's "Hidden Dragon Spy" series very much.,So it's inevitable that I like the company K Society.。

In fact, Jester has a friend who writes novels, and his friend's biggest dream is to tell stories like Hideo Kojima - and Jester agrees, and Hideo Kojima is indeed a genius at storytelling.

The history of this world has completely changed, and the old four of the famous K Society no longer exist in this world.

However, in Jester's memory, the famous old four of K Society were all arcade works at the beginning, and because K Society is a Japanese company, most of their arcade games are mainly for the Japanese flavor, and the problem is that these games are not very successful in the Japanese market.

Later, they shifted the target of these games to the North American market.

They made the original zuò development team spend a lot of energy on the home machine port, the end result, although on the home machine version, whether it is the system, gameplay, or graphics, because of the home machine function problems, had to make a certain sacrifice, but basically later players after playing unanimously evaluation, the gap between the port version and the original arcade version is almost negligible.

This made K Society make a name for itself all of a sudden.

Of course, if the performance of the home machine is far more than the previous platform, then porting is a very simple thing, just need to make an emulator on the original platform on the new platform, for example, when Nintendo ported FC games to GBA, they did this.

Although the GBA is only a handheld computer and not a home one, the principle is the same.

Well, it's also an anecdote about this porting of Nintendo, when Nintendo only used two employees and spent a morning, that is, half a day, to solve the work of porting hundreds of FC games, and they even did it, even the bugs were exactly the same.

Time flies, and a month flies by.

In the past month or so, Mars Entertainment has begun a large-scale publicity in North America, Japan and Europe, the main body of publicity is their new sixteen-bit Dreambox2, and announced that they will hold a media conference at the Anaheim Convention Center on January 30, officially announcing their host, and answering questions about the new host, including pricing and so on.

Not to be outdone, under the leadership of Hisao Koguchi, when Mars Entertainment just started their promotional campaign, they also started MD's promotional campaign at the same time, and at first he didn't start selling at a reduced price as Jester expected.

But it's pretty much the same, and they're going to bundle the strategy.

I selected a few best-selling games, and then bundled them on the MD console, and the price after the bundle was only slightly increased, so that many people who were originally interested in the MD console and the games on the MD console, but were still hesitating, have a very high appeal.

This is actually just a variant of the price reduction, and it is not very obvious now.

What Sega has reduced is the part of the royalty they want to extract from the game manufacturer, and at present, MD's main game still relies on their first party, so the current Sega is using its own profits to win the hearts of players.

Jester analyzed Sega's strategy in North America, and felt that if they really wanted to start selling at a reduced price, they might not announce it until they announced the specific price of Dreambox2, and the price announced by the other party would inevitably make them extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed.

The current price of the MD host is 250 US dollars, after deducting all the costs of materials, processing costs, transportation, sales, etc., especially now that production has just begun, the quantity is not large enough, and the characteristics of large-scale industrial production cannot be effectively used to dilute the cost, and the money they can make may not exceed 50 or 60 US dollars.

And the cost of its own Dreambox2 console is lower than that of Sega, and it is also low and limited.

The biggest possibility is that Sega will directly reduce the price to above the $200 level, which they don't have to earn, and the $50 difference is extremely attractive to players who are hesitating between the two.

Jester really didn't have a good way for a while, unless he directly lowered the price of the Dreambox2 to the $200 level when he first announced it, otherwise, he would inevitably fall into passivity.

On the morning of the press conference, various media outlets came to the Anaheim Convention Center.

Mars Entertainment's headquarters is located in Costa Mesa, close to Anaheim, and whether it is a large-scale media conference held by Mars Entertainment or an event such as a carnival held before, it is held here.

However, this time it is not only the media in the game industry, Mars Entertainment is not just a game company, Jester's status among the young generation in the United States is very high, basically even in the United States, where college students start businesses very frequently, such as Jester, who has been in business for four years and has a net worth of billions of dollars on the surface, it is still extremely rare to be in the top 50 people on the world's billionaire list announced since 85 years.

At least in the second place in the United States' youth entrepreneurship idol Bill. Gates's assets were only on the Forbes list at the end of last year, and they entered the top 50.

The main body of this press conference is very simple, that is, the new host of Mars Entertainment.

The whole process of the press conference is to first demonstrate the performance of the new console, the first game, and some games that are in development and will be able to meet players immediately, the price of the game console, and of course, answer some questions from the interviewer.

For such a strict occasion, Jester naturally needed to be present in person.

In Silicon Valley, everyone knows that before Jobs left Apple, whenever Apple had any new products, it was always Jobs who made a big splash on the host desk, even if the research and development of this product was not very related to Jobs.

Except for himself when the Dreambox was first launched, after he personally made a splash on the podium, he rarely did this after that.

This time, the chief hardware architect of Dreambox2 was in charge of the on-site commentary. R1152
