Chapter 686: Yu Suzuki returns
Later, when Jester thought about it, he understood a little.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
Most of their sub-projects were established at the same time as Hiroshi Suzuki's project.
And now that the system in charge of Yu Suzuki is close to completion, even if he leaves, his subordinates will be able to complete the finishing work, and the rest of them, the fastest is only 70%, and the remaining 30% is the most difficult to complete.
If their project is difficult, then as we all know, the combat system that Yu Suzuki is responsible for is one of the most difficult among the many sub-projects of the 'era'.
According to the original expectations, no one could have predicted that Suzuki Yu's project would be completed so quickly, after all, the difficulty of this project is known to everyone, originally many people were predicting, this combat system, it would be good to be able to complete it in the fifth year, the time was very tight, but I didn't expect that Suzuki Yu relied on his own ability to improve this progress to three years.
And these people, whether they were the original employees of Mars Entertainment before, or those who jumped from other game companies after the announcement of the 'Era' plan, are all self-proclaimed elites.
The designers are a group of tsunderes, and they usually don't obey anyone except Jester.
Now, Yu Suzuki has completed a project that they think is extremely difficult ahead of schedule, doesn't that mean that they are far behind Yu Suzuki?
It is true that the impact of the games developed by Yu Suzuki on the entire game industry may be comparable to that of Jester in the entire development team, but most of these American developers have never been convinced by the Japanese, so they don't think that their level is inferior to Yu Suzuki. It's that they're not in that environment in Japan.
However, now that they are all in the same environment and are still so far behind Yuki Suzuki, it is very undeserved, and it makes them feel embarrassed.
That's why these people will catch up.
This also made Jester feel a little funny, and it made up for the loss of Yu Suzuki's departure.
Yuzu Suzuki's departure from the 'Time' development team was really big news in the industry, and the day after Suzuki returned to Japan, there were many game media outlets covering the show. Waterloo things like "VR Warriors", although everyone with a discerning eye knows it, it is impossible for Sega to promote it, isn't that smashing its own signboard.
Therefore, many people are speculating whether Yuki Suzuki's return to Sega represents the breakdown of the relationship between the two parties?
In this regard, Sony is the most concerned, and what they are most worried about is that Sega is too close to Mars Entertainment, because they are currently in a weak position with Sega. Sega still has an arcade market, and they don't have that advantage, so if Sega joins forces with Mars Entertainment. Then what awaits you is a dead end.
Therefore, after Yu Suzuki returned to Sega, Ken Kutaragi knew about it as soon as possible.
And contacted the people he arranged in Sega, and the news he got can only be said to be mixed. The bad news is that Sega didn't have any unpleasant relations with Mars Entertainment.
The dispute between Tekken and VR Warrior is only on the game, although for Sega. The failure of VR Fighter 2 had a big impact on them, but it didn't affect their relationship with Mars Entertainment, and the good news is that Yu Suzuki did stop working with Jester, and the reason he returned to Sega was simple, which was to re-embrace the VR Fighter series.
Bring this Sega's previous signature product back to life.
The 3D fighting market seems to be very competitive right now, but in fact, the current situation is that "Tekken" is on an equal footing with the first game of "VR Fighter".
Although "VR Warrior 2" failed and was not accepted by players, "VR Warrior 1" has accumulated a large number of fans after all, and the power of this step should not be underestimated, so even with "Iron Fist", it can only share the situation with "VR Warrior".
This is also the reason why Sega has great hopes for the "VR Warrior" series and Yu Suzuki.
Players are dead set on "VR Fighter 2", not the "VR Warrior" series, and they are still very confident in Yu Suzuki's "VR Warrior".
However, it is now known in the industry that Namco, one of the top four in the arcade market, is also preparing a 3D fighting game, and Ken Kutaraki, as Namco's most important ally, also knows a lot about this.
Namco has invested a lot of money and manpower in this game.
What they want is indeed to grab a piece of the market from Sega and Mars Entertainment, and for this reason, Namco even gave up a home console game that they attach great importance to, which makes Kutaragi Ken very opinionated, but this is a decision made by Namco for his own interests, and he has nothing to do.
As for the reason why Yu Suzuki terminated the cooperation with Jester, and after the termination of the cooperation, Jester did not condemn Sega for the other party's breach of contract, but no one knows.
However, many people still detect it.
This time it was only Yu Suzuki who came back, and the elites of the AM2 development team he took away from Sega before were all helping out at Mars Entertainment, and it can also be seen from this aspect that it must be the cooperation that Yu Suzuki and Jester have reached to be able to do so.
When Yu Suzuki left Mars Entertainment, he signed a confidentiality agreement.
He couldn't divulge any news about the 'Time' project, not even the news that he had completed the part he was responsible for.
Therefore, those media can only speculate wildly.
Perhaps the most unhappy about the news of Yu Suzuki's return to Sega are the people at Namco, who have seen the failure of "VR Fighter 2" and the success of "Tekken", and they expected that there will be fierce competition in this still slightly new market, which also means that the royal power of this series is far from being stable, that is, they also have a great chance.
Moreover, Yu Suzuki previously needed to work with Jester for five years.
It's only been three years.
And in two years, their new fighting games may come out, and even, they can score the market with Mars Entertainment's "Iron Fist", at that time, even if Suzuki Yu comes back, and then wants to let "VR Market" re-occupy the market, it will be more difficult than entering now, I don't know how many times.
It's a pity that Yu Suzuki is back. (To be continued......)
