Chapter 571: Kutaragi Ken's Worries

Some gossip tends to circulate more quickly through formal channels.

Originally, it was just a gossip circulating on some forums on the Internet, but in the end, it really became information from the player's word of mouth.

Even when Jester went to the Anaheim Convention Center in advance to see the setting, he met a very enthusiastic fan, who attends every year's carnival, and can be called a hardcore.

Jester looked familiar, and was ready to chat with the other party.

But he didn't expect that the first question asked by the other party made him a little crying and laughing.

The fan said mysteriously to Jester, "Jace, is your next game going to represent Street Fighter's revenge on Sega, and is it also a 3D fighting game with real motion capture?" Looking at the hopeful look on the fan's face, Jester suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Who did you listen to?" “

Jester had no choice but to ask a rhetorical question a little helplessly.

"Isn't it?" Seeing the picture on Jester's face didn't look like surprise at all, but seemed to have a look of crying and laughing, this fan also knew that maybe the gossip he heard was not true, so he could only touch his head embarrassedly and said, "Didn't you say that Sega's people came to Los Angeles alone, and it was said that they came to participate in the carnival...... So a lot of people said that you were going to develop a game specifically for VR Warriors, and the people from Sega found out, so they came to find out the information. ”

"Hey."

Hearing the answer of this loyal fan of his own, Jester was really speechless.

"It's impossible to be a thing, even if I really want to develop a fighting game specifically for VR Warriors, such news leaks, and it can't be that Sega's Mr. Hayao Nakayama will personally come to find out the news, and it's too cheap......" Jester explained helplessly. After he finished speaking, he hesitated a little and continued.

"Okay, I can give you a little bit of disclosure, this time Mr. Hayato Nakayama and Mr. Yu Suzuki were indeed invited by me, of course, in addition to participating in the carnival, there are more important things to discuss, and secondly, the big plan mentioned earlier is indeed a deposit. But it's not a fighting game, but I can't say right now, but I'll share my fantasies with you in detail at tomorrow's carnival opening. ”

Jester waved his hand and left.

However, the fan had been silently recalling what Jester had just said, and he noticed that at the end, Jester used the word rhapsody. And not a plan.

Does this also mean anything?

The fan couldn't figure it out for a moment, but Jester had rarely used such exaggerated words to act on what he was going to do before, and if he did, that is. Chances are, this time the plan is so big that even Jester thinks it's a fantasy.

Thinking of this, this fan also couldn't help but get excited.

It was a plan that made Jester himself think it was a rhapsodic idea. How unbelievable is that?

Jester didn't ask this fan to keep it a secret when he left, so. After returning to his queue, the fan shared with his acquaintance that he had met Jester on the way to the toilet.

And talked in detail about the content of the previous meeting and chat with Jester.

Although Jester himself denied anything about the fighting game, Jester also said that the new game plan would be a rhapsody, and this rhapsody really made Mars Entertainment fans infinitely yy.

Of course, some people even noticed that this time Hayao Nakayama was invited by Jester, and Sony was not among Jester's invitations.

Japan.

Kutaragi Ken's movements are very fast, after he learned that Hayabusa Nakayama and Yu Suzuki suddenly left for the United States, he immediately contacted Sega's insiders, and from the more internal information he received, he also knew that the reason why Hayao Nakayama would go this time was that he sent him an invitation.

After getting the news, Ken Kutaragi instantly felt a chill.

Because he was afraid that this was a precursor to the rupture of his alliance with Hayao Nakayama.

You must know that in the current console market, Mars Entertainment is basically the dominant one, and the two of them are in a situation where they are surviving, and the share of the 16-bit machine, Mars Entertainment accounts for 70% of the entire game share.

So, he and Sega have reached a secret agreement to join forces against Mars Entertainment.

After all, before Jester teamed up with them to kill Nintendo, the two of them still remember it vividly, and whenever they think about it, they still shudder.

But this time, Jester only sent an invitation to Hayakuo Nakayama, but not to himself.

This will not make Kutaragi Ken particularly worried, after all, this kind of thing of winning over one side and hitting one side, Sony itself has not done less, what makes him most uneasy is that Hayao Nakayama did not inform him of this matter before going to the United States, and even, as two parties who need each other, they actually hide each other from each other in such an important matter.

How could this not worry Ken Kutaragi?

But fortunately, it didn't worry Kutaragi Ken for long, and Hayao Nakayama, who already felt Los Angeles, called him.

"This time it was Jester who specially invited me to talk about the development of a game, and it seemed that he needed a little help from my side, but he didn't elaborate, he very sincerely asked me to be sure to attend this carnival, it has something very important to discuss with me."

On the phone, Hayao Nakayama briefly explained why he came to Los Angeles.

"Why don't you discuss it with me first?"

Kutaragi Ken still has some dissatisfaction, he doesn't believe anything, and Ester is looking for Hayabusa Nakayama just because of the problem of some game developer.

If it's really just a game development thing, then why hide it from yourself?

Hearing Kutaragi Ken's questioning, Hayao Nakayama was also a little dissatisfied, he was indeed a little upset because he thought that he didn't say hello to Kutaragi Ken when he came to Los Angeles, but it didn't mean that he could be questioned like this by a backup.

You know, his Sega is a founding member of the best arcade association in Japan.

"Hmph."

Hayao Nakayama didn't answer directly, he just snorted disdainfully: "I've already said before, this time Jester asked me to talk about only game development, and there is absolutely nothing about you, even if Jester wants to talk to me, I can't talk to him, do you think that in this world, only you know the truth of cold lips and teeth?" ”

That's a very unkind way to say.

However, after hearing this angry rebuke from Hayao Nakayama, Ken Kutaragi was relieved, according to what he understood Hayao Nakayama.

As long as he still has some ideas about the host hardware market, it is absolutely impossible to cooperate with Mars Entertainment to deal with himself, because it is impossible for Hayabusa Nakayama not to know the truth of cold lips and teeth, and according to Hayakuo Nakayama's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to be Jester's deputy.

This is a character called Contra in the Japanese game industry.

"Well, I'm really sorry."

In the end, Kutaragi Ken also apologized very sincerely on the phone, and from the answer of Hayao Nakayama on the other end of the phone, he obviously recognized Kutaragi Ken's apology, or rather, he simply took Kutaragi Ken's somewhat rude questioning to heart, after all, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely be upset.

This is the first time Hayao Nakayama has seen the Mars Entertainment Carnival with his own eyes.

It was a bit of a shock to see that there was still a long line of hundreds of people at the Anaheim Convention Center with a full day to go.

Some even muttered to himself asked Yu Suzuki, who had been following him, "If we held a carnival like this once, would there be so many people actively participating?" As he spoke, Hayabusa Nakayama also pointed to the long queues that were forming a line.

Many of the players in the queue were holding flags that showed where they came from, such as national flags, or waving them from time to time.

You can see that Japan, France, Germany, England, Brazil......

At least twenty different national or regional flags flashed before Hayabusa's eyes.

Faced with this question of his boss, Yu Suzuki didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to fool and say: "I'm just a developer, and I don't know much about the problems in these markets......"

However, Suzuki's answer obviously made Hayabusa Nakayama a little dissatisfied.

"Just say it, I won't blame you." Hayao Nakayama frowned, and said to Suzuki Yuyan, "You know, I hate this kind of mother-in-law and mother the most, man, just be refreshing, don't twist and pinch, yes, yes, no, no, what's not easy to say." ”

Yu Suzuki had no choice but to take a breath and prepare the wording, and then said: "If we hold such a carnival in Japan, there may be many people who will participate, but we still don't have the appeal of being able to gather many players from all continents around the world by relying on a carnival like Mars Entertainment." ”

"Hey."

Hearing Suzuki Yu say this, Hayao Nakayama also lost his interest a little, and after sighing, he waved his hand and signaled to go back to the hotel to rest first. (To be continued......) R1292
