Chapter 845: Can the two games of racing and football be done together?
Jester also knew that something like this, which was about the fate of his life, was not something that a person who had just graduated from high school could decide in such a hurry.
If it is in the United States, as an adult, he can legally be fully responsible for his actions.
But in China, this is also the case in legal theory.
But in reality, it was still up to his guardians, his parents, to make the final decision for him to make the decision on whether to make this decision for him, so Jester smiled when he saw that Li Kewen didn't know what judgment to make in the midst of his hesitation.
"Don't rush to conclusions, I should stay in China for a while, I asked before that the score of the college entrance examination should come out in a few days, and then you can make a decision, during my time in China, you can contact me at any time." Saying that, Jester smiled: "You can call the domestic branch of Mars Entertainment at any time to inform me of the decision you have made." ”
"I ......"
Indeed, as Jester said, such a thing is not something he can decide on alone.
Therefore, after hearing Jester's suggestion, Li Kewen also nodded.
"Well, let's talk a little bit about things between us players, you can also take this as an assessment of you, in Mars Entertainment, you will often encounter such scenes, during meals, when playing board games with friends, or even when playing video in the lounge, you will often suddenly enter an environment similar to this kind of discussion."
"That is, there is an idea that suddenly comes to me and wants to discuss with you whether it can be turned into a game - don't think it's meaningless, in fact, there are countless classic games in Mars Entertainment that have actually been perfected in this kind of situation. It is even possible that a single artist may be able to refine the design of a system content, which is a ready-made example. ”
"You should know that during this period of time, in the world, it is very popular to create a composite game idea, that is, a game is no longer limited to just one content, no longer a shooting game is just a shooting game, and a real-time strategy game is no longer just a real-time strategy, but a combination of gameplay between different games."
"For example. Tomb Raider - Have you played this game? ”
Jester said while asking Li Kewen, after all, this is not the United States, whether it is consulting or anything else, it is not as fast as the United States, maybe some games have been on sale in the United States for a year, and players in China have not heard of this game.
However, for people like Li Kewen who often browse posts in foreign game forums. This is certainly not a problem.
Coupled with the fact that he is also a veteran gamer, it is certainly not difficult to know and play the game that Tomb Raider has been in the limelight for the previous two years.
"I've played, a surprising game......"
Speaking of games. Li Kewen also had more to say, so he talked about his thoughts on the game Tomb Raider, and some of the things he felt were imperfect if he was asked to do it. What will he do.
Jester didn't interrupt him, but quietly sat in the audience, and didn't say anything about what he said. Although for Jester, it may be because of the difference in vision and contact now, some of Li Kewen's ideas at this time are still relatively naïve, or more whimsical, but he does not say it, because he feels that these ideas of the other party can reflect different things precisely because they are simple and naïve.
People who are too familiar with how a game is made often go astray when thinking about a game, often forgetting what players want to play the most.
"Very good, then I'll give you a question, you can think about it during this time, if you want, you can even write me a project, if you write it that can appeal to me, I can even allow you to make this game of your own design when the time is right."
Hearing Jester say this, Li Kewen's excitement was even more indescribable.
Although he didn't think he could really do it, and it was just a joke Jester made with him, but Jester was able to say that, and it could be seen that Jester valued him.
can be so valued by your idol, then you can't be ruined.
Even at this moment, Li Kewen had such an idea, that is, whether his parents agreed or not, he would follow Jester's footsteps to the United States.
Seeing Li Kewen's longing eyes, Jester smiled.
"My idea is that it's not going to be easy, because anyone can think of something simple, and it's impossible to really make a game that players really like - if you're an employee of Mars Entertainment and we're sitting together at a restaurant and I'm going to talk to you, and I'm going to ask you, I have an idea to combine a racing game with a football game, do you think it's possible? How would you do that? ”
After saying this question, Jester looked at Li Kewen with a smile, and the look on Li Kewen's face became hesitant not surprisingly.
Obviously, in his own mind, he began to think quickly.
"I don't have any other requirements for the way the game is played, the only requirement is that the gameplay has to be fun, and the player has to be excited when playing the game - have you ever played Super Balotelli?"
Jester asked another question as he spoke, and Li Kewen nodded.
A classic game like "Super Balotelli Racing" is certainly not something that has not been played by hardcore players like Li Kewen, and even his level is very high.
So, he nodded.
Then Jester smiled: "Since you've played this game, you should know what it's like to play this game with friends, I hope you can make that feeling, of course, it's just a piece of advice from me, as long as it's fun." You can design it however you want, because it doesn't matter what you want in the game, but the fun factor can't be forgotten. ”
"That's the biggest piece of advice I can give to my students."
Although Li Kewen was still a little difficult to understand at this time, he still nodded a little as if he didn't understand.
"It's fun."
At the same time, I silently read a sentence in my heart.
After Li Kewen left, Jester stayed alone in the coffee shop for a while.
In fact, it only occurred to him that there was an interesting game that would be a big success in the future, and that it would be unknown on the day it came out, and that no one could have predicted this little game at the beginning. It exploded with so much potential and was sought after by so many players - and even after his success, some people wondered why the game was successful.
Because in many people's minds, how can football and racing be combined—what can be the point of combining such genres?
In fact, Jester also had the same idea as these people at the beginning, he may be a more stubborn, more conservative person, and his thinking is more rigid, so. He also believes that such a combination of game modes is destined to be uninteresting.
What really changed his mind was that it was a PSN member's free game, and the game was free.
And then in line with the principle of killing mistakes and not letting go. He downloaded the game.,Anyway, it's free to give.,It's not for nothing.,And。 At that time, Jester didn't have much money, so he didn't buy any big games, and he just had time. I took out the game and tried it - and it was out of control, and the game was really fun.
Even the stand-alone machine is full of fun.
Even when playing this game, Jester thought of a game that was Super Mario Kart!
This game is simply born for the party.,So,Jester couldn't wait to start the online war.,But at first it was more sad.,Because no matter how he connected to the online war, he couldn't connect.,I went to a few forums where he often went to see the post.,It turned out that the server used in this game was provided by Google.,And in China, because Google withdrew from the domestic market.,So it's forbidden for Google's server......
SO……
At that time, Jester's heart was broken, because it was rare to come across a game that he could really like and really get the purest pleasure from the game, especially if such a game was not made by Nintendo!
It's just incredible.
So, for this game, Jester bought a VPN specifically.
Then one night was out of control, and I was completely addicted to it.
It's called Rocket League, a flawless party game that combines racing and football!
Of course, party games are a saying of the previous era, and after the arrival of the great age of the Internet, party games can be started anytime and anywhere.
"Rocket League" was arguably the biggest winner of the year, although they were not Game of the Year, but they also won major awards at the TGA, and even ranked second in GS's annual selection, second only to the much-anticipated "The Witcher 3", and one place higher than Kojima's parting work "MGS5".
You know, this is just a small game, a game that not many people paid attention to before it was released.
However, by the end of the year and fifteen, the game had over nine million players!
This is in less than a year, to be specific, this is only the achievement in more than half a year, and in December, they even increased by more than one million in a month!
This is not a free-to-play game.
Although he was spared by PSN.
This is a game with distinct characteristics, first of all, his pace is very fast, so the confrontation is very intense, basically there is no urine point throughout the whole process, and the whole process is climax.
The excellent physical engine and the exceptionally good feel it brings, especially when the car collides, and the vibration feedback from the handle, is really cool.
There are also a lot of aerial stunts that can be shown.
There is also a rich DIY system, players can DIY a completely own, completely different race car to start their own race, and the DIY system is very rich, large to the model, small to the tires, painting, decoration, spray exhaust color has many different choices, as long as the player wants, he can create a unique racing car.
And this game is to prove that it is possible to play football with racing, it can be done fun, although this game is not serious, but players don't care so much, players will like Kojima's "MGS" is very serious, can provoke people to think about the super masterpiece, and will also like "Rocket League" like just fun, just interesting works.
After all, Gun Ball is one of the three favorite games of European and American players, and when the two game genres are perfectly combined, it can really explode with unimaginable power.
Rocket League is a testament to this.
He has been wildly loved by players in Europe and the United States, beating Forza Motorsport 6 on the TGA, beating top racing games such as "Driving Club", winning the best racing game, and even beating FIFA and PES traditional sports games to win the crown of the best sports competitive game!
How incredible is that?
The most important thing is that this game is just a small game, and there is no difficulty in doing it now, and in the current network environment in Europe and the United States, there is no difficulty in releasing such a game.
Therefore, Jester does have the idea of making this game, of course, he won't do it himself, and such a small production is not suitable for him to do, and the importance of such a game lies in a creative idea, which is very suitable for a newcomer to become famous, so Jester is also looking for who to give this opportunity to this during this time.
Although he gave Li Kewen this time, this time.
If Li Kewen's answer could satisfy him, he would not give him this opportunity to become famous in the entire game world.
After all, success must be given to those who are prepared.
If Li Kewen can satisfy him, he doesn't mind being a booster on the other party's road to fame.
Of course, these are all things that need to be fought for by the other party themselves. (To be continued.) )
