When he said this, the tone of the reporter of "Game" was indescribably full of anticipation.

Hearing the reporter's inquiry, Jason remembered that it seemed that he had forgotten about this interview before, and it was going to be released before the carnival, but he thought about it carefully, and after the big boss called him to his office, he told him that he wanted him to do an interview with "Game" magazine, and the content of the interview was related to "Age of Empires".

At that time, the big boss handed himself a piece of paper, and on that piece of paper was written some information about "Age of Empires" that he could not reveal in the interview.

And the big boss nodded and said yes.

So, Jason thought about it carefully, and it seemed that what he just said about the big boss's next plan was not on that note.

So, Jason put his mind at ease, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, everything I said today, you can all report." And the reporter who got his reply was also overjoyed.

After entering the interview room, this interview officially began.

The first few questions were all about the basic information of "Age of Empires", these things had been disclosed by Mars Entertainment through many channels before, and there was nothing to ask carefully, so the two sides just chatted briefly, which was regarded as a hot spot first.

Jason and Jester have different statuses, so the treatment they can enjoy is naturally different.

If it is an interview with Jester, the questions of the interview before will be reviewed by Jester in advance, and Jester will delete what he is unwilling to answer, and then start the interview, Jason is just an ordinary member of the development team. Without Jester's status, he naturally can't enjoy Jester's treatment.

As for the question of the interview, he must not have known in advance.

After a few simple and easy-to-answer questions. The editor suddenly asked a question that was difficult for Jason to answer.

"Jason. You said Jester before. Mr. Li will be making a completely different RTS game every year for the next few years, with all due respect, if there are so many RTS games at once, will it cause the life of such games to be reduced? ”

Hearing this question, Jason's face suddenly changed.

The other party's question is not unreasonable, there have been many examples before, and it is a type of fire. There will be a lot of followers soon, but the followers only want to make quick money, so the games made by zuò are shoddy, and players are deceived and buy these games, which can have a very bad impact on this type of game, and even the entire game industry.

For example, in the gaming world before the collapse of Atari, this phenomenon continued to appear.

A slight groan. Jason spoke: "I think your idea is a bit unfounded. As he spoke, Jason's tone became a little disdainful.

"This phenomenon of what you call it. It's true, especially on PC, it's an open platform where anyone can develop games if they want to, and no one can effectively regulate them, not even the newly formed video game association. ”

Hearing Jason say this, the editor of the interview suddenly had some doubts, and he felt that the other party said this. Isn't it a message in his favor? Then why did he say that his thoughts just now were unfounded?

Really......

said. The smile on Jason's face was even bigger, and he changed his voice, "But." Although PC is an open platform, this platform is very different from the so-called open platform of Atari at the beginning, to put it mildly, do you think that there are as many games as the sand of the Ganges River on the PC over the years, are they worth playing? I can even say unceremoniously, don't you think that out of so many PC games, none of them is worse than EQ? ”

Hearing Jason say this, the interview's editor's face changed, revealing a stiff smile, and then he shook his head: "The games on the PC are indeed uneven in level, and some are so high that they are like Jester. Mr. Li's "Quake" is a masterpiece that has shown the industry a path to the future, and there are many works that are worse than shit. ”

"So!"

Jason's face became happy when he heard the editor who interviewed him say this: "Since this didn't make the PC platform die, then why should we worry?" ”

As he spoke, Jason's tone paused again: "Besides, the level of our boss is well known, are you still worried, Jester. Will Lee's game disappoint players? Admittedly, Jason's words are very eloquent, but he is also talking about things.

Jester's level is indeed very high, and the games he makes have never disappointed expectant players.

Even if it's a work like "Fantasy Simulation Battle" that has not broken through the bottleneck and is still going around in the previous framework, it is also a rare masterpiece, and it can even be said that this is the best SPRPG game after "Fire Emblem", even if it is the "Royal Knights" before Matsuno Yasu, there is no way to compare it with "Fantasy Simulation".

Not to mention the other games.

All of them point out the direction of game development for the industry, and make a more detailed division of various games.

Meanwhile.

This time, Jester also sent an invitation to the members of the board of directors of the World Video Game Association, and by the way, it was also held, and the second plenary meeting and the first plenary meeting of the association since its establishment were held.

The reason for this meeting is also to discuss one of the basic tenets of the association, which is about the delineation of game ratings.

Of course, due to the different laws and regulations of various countries, the rating standard set by the association is only for the reference of the members of the association, and there is no mandatory value, and it is also very important for each country to formulate its own game rating standards according to its own national conditions.

The venue of this meeting was all organized by Jester, but when the representatives of the permanent board members such as Ken Kutaragi, Hayao Nakayama, and representatives of the permanent members of the board of directors such as EA, Xueleshan, and Nintendo were present, Jester was late, and the people of Mars Entertainment were also very anxious, but they were just told that Jester had something important to do now and needed to delay a little time.

However, as the official meeting got closer and closer, there were many dissatisfactions among those present.

Of course, now Mars Entertainment has the greatest influence and influence, so it is natural for Jester to hold a meeting, but if a meeting is planned to be held, but he is late, then for those who come to the meeting, it is inevitable that they will not take them seriously.

However, when the staff of Mars Entertainment said a little bit about what Jester is doing now, although the people at the scene were still a little dissatisfied, they could also express their understanding.

Because it's really not something that can be delayed.

This all stems from an incident in the middle of this year in the country on the other side of the Pacific, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction in many countries, including the United States, but surprisingly, at that time, when many companies investing in the country on the other side of the Pacific withdrew their investments, Jester suddenly announced that he would inject 10 million US dollars into his business there.

Jester did not officially express his attitude, but his actions were completely indicative of his attitude.

After that, the country over there invited Jester to visit Wèn several times, but Jester because he had something to do, did not have a detailed talk with that face, today there is an important person from the country who wants to meet Jester, and Jester immediately agreed to meet after getting the briefing, and even did not hesitate to delay the plenary meeting of the World Electronics Association this time.

When Jester arrived at the meeting, it was forty-five minutes late from the scheduled start time of the meeting, and he apologized very sincerely to Jester, although the specific things were not very clear to the people at the meeting, but they also knew that the previous things were very important to Jester, so they didn't say anything.

Jester's demeanor looked exactly the same as before.

"The rating of our video games, I think it can be set with reference to the Hollywood movie ratings."

After a brief eye contact with Hayao Nakayama and Jester, Ken Kutaragi expressed his opinion, and his opinion was also the opinion of Sony, Sega, and Mars Entertainment.

Hollywood's top standards are very strict, and there will definitely be people who are unhappy.

Take EA, for example.

Tripp. Hawkins is also a legend in the industry, a top student at Stanford University, the head of marketing at Apple, and later left Apple to create EA, which was founded two years earlier than Mars Entertainment, and its market share in the PC field is much larger than that of Mars Entertainment.

However, PC games account for a negligible share of the overall video game scene, so their reputation as the world's largest PC game developer and publisher is not very influential.

Tripp. Hawkins's objections are simple and difficult to refute.

"I think it's better for us to be different from Hollywood's film classification standards, otherwise, it's easy to criticize."

And there is no shortage of people who agree with this opinion. (To be continued) R466
