Game Development Giant

After all, this is his first successful work. The games he made when he was at Atari were not as successful as this one. This time, after hearing the news, he also asked Mark Saini, who was more talkative, but Mark Saini just smiled mysteriously and did not deny it, so Sean Dabbili said this Still very longing for it.

After all, he is the most likely person to obtain this qualification, and he also has full confidence in the "Dawn" project he is currently in charge of. He cannot guarantee the rest. If this game is actually made, Not inferior to "1942".

This is a humble statement. In fact, if you only need to achieve 60% of the settings, then this game will surpass "1942" in every aspect and become the best game of its kind. After all, it is not a game. The company is willing to use more than 20 professional painters to draw thousands of hand-drawn drawings just to complete the explosion special effects.

That's why he paid so much attention to the release of "Chief Balotelli" this time. After all, if this game can be a big success, then it will be able to verify whether the previous rumor is true.

The day of sale happened to be the weekend. Sean Dabbili woke up very early in the morning. He was not surprised to see the snow outside. After all, it was almost Christmas. Compared to previous years, the snow in California this year was relatively small. It rained late. After getting up and freshening up, he swept the snow in front of the door, had breakfast, and then drove towards Los Angeles.

In the past, Fengxing Entertainment also changed its sales method. After all, it collects advance payments from others first, and it is too easy for buyers to feel disgusted if the products are not shipped for a long time.

If you want to recover funds on a large scale, it is a good choice when you are the only one on the market. But now those Japanese manufacturers have clearly seen the popularity of the arcade game market in North America that has been brought by Jester, and they all want to take advantage of it. It would be unwise to come in to share the food and then offend the buyers by doing so.

Especially the recent news about "1942". Capcom has officially cooperated with Atari, which has returned to the game market, to jointly release their popular Japanese arcade game "1942" in the United States, and now advertising has begun to appear on a large scale. progress, and even had a long-term advertisement on "game".

I also sent a game board to "Game" magazine for the magazine's editors to experience. The purpose of this was to let them write a soft article to brag about it.

And Jester also acquiesced to this matter.

He made this magazine because he wanted to make it an authoritative magazine like the future "Electronic Game Monthly". If he always selectively ignores many excellent games and just brags about his own games, then this game journal will also be Can only become a minority. Just like Nintendo, Sony, and even Microsoft have published their own game journals, but they have not made any achievements, because if a journal is hung under a game company, it will inevitably cause players to have a feeling about this journal. First impression of extreme distrust.

Not to mention that the content of these journals is bound to be very one-sided.

The most important thing is that the game "1942" is indeed very good. Even if Atari doesn't take the initiative to find Adrian, the magazine will definitely take the initiative to introduce it.

Faced with the unfavorable arrival of Japanese manufacturers, Jester must of course prepare some measures to counterattack. The first is the franchise plan of the arcade. Franchise stores will be the first to get the goods. Only when the goods to the franchise stores are finished, will other products be taken. Shipping to advance purchasers.

Of course, the sales method of full payment reservations has also been cancelled. After all, I am no longer the kind of person who lacked a lot of funds to carry out various channels and research and development projects at the beginning. Moreover, the pressure of competition is also different from the past. Atari's The agent "1942" chose the exact same strategy when Nintendo released "Donkey Kong".

Try it for free first, then pay.

Coupled with the success of this game in Japan, its high reputation for quality, and the fact that it is Americans’ favorite World War II theme, the number of pre-orders has also skyrocketed.

However, because the specific pre-order amount is Atari's internal data, the specific outside world is not very clear, but the rumor circulating is that it definitely exceeds 10,000 units. The most important thing is that the price of this game baseboard is only It’s just 2,000 US dollars, and it won’t exceed 2,300 US dollars including the frame. There are also pre-order discounts and promotions. It’s obvious that the high-price strategy that Jester has been using can no longer continue.

Therefore, Jester has also lowered the prices of its games. Purchasers who have pre-ordered before but have not yet shipped the goods will be compensated at the same price when they purchase the next game. Jester didn't even think about the refund. He put it into my pocket and wanted me to take it out. You people are too naive.

Moreover, the current pre-order only requires 40% of the full price, and the participating arcade stores only require 20%. Although it is still not comparable to Atari's "1942" strategy of playing for free first, this can Reflect the superiority of your company's products.

Naturally, I disdain to learn from the practices of a loser like Atari.

Sean Dabbili had previously inquired about the pre-order status of "Sergeant Balotelli" from Fengxing Publishing, but it seemed that the pre-order situation was not particularly good, especially with the free purchase of "1942" for comparison. , following the restriction that only franchised arcades can be the first to get the goods, some arcades that originally wanted to pre-order as soon as possible but failed to apply to become Mars Entertainment franchise members have also temporarily ceased operations, so the data is not very good.

Anyway, it is far inferior to "1942", which had more than 10,000 pre-orders within ten days after the news was announced.

So in order to confirm whether this game can really be as popular as the previous Mars Entertainment games, he decided to go to the official release site to see the players' reactions. Only from the on-site reactions can he judge that this What will happen to this game?

Although there are still ten days until Christmas, I still feel a strong Christmas atmosphere in Los Angeles. Many shopping malls are also promoting their own Christmas promotions. Many large shopping malls will also give away a very beautifully made book to customers who come to shop. Christmas gift buying guide.

Thousands of items are introduced on full-color coated paper.

Atari has previously announced that their refurbished vcs7200 will be officially released for Christmas, and in this Christmas gift shopping guide, Sean Dabbili also saw an introduction to this new Atari host. Now The video game market is much hotter than it was half a year ago. Some players who grew up playing Atari games also said they would buy them in the past, but more people still cast a vote of no confidence in Atari. After all, They had been screwed badly by Atari.

In fact, Sean Dabbili is not optimistic about the success of Atari's game console. After all, whether a game console can be sold depends on the platform of this game console. There are no games that can make players excited. According to my boss, if there are no games that can make players have a strong desire to buy games, they are worthless.

Although Atari's game console is better than the version half a year ago in terms of performance, it lacks the final heavyweight games and does not have the ability to compete with their new game console.

The only praiseworthy thing about this game console may be that it is backward compatible with all games on the previous vcs2600. It may be able to attract many players with nostalgic feelings, but then again, it is still what my boss said at the discussion meeting. , generally such players will have a vcs2600 host. Why would they buy another host to play games on the vcs2600?

When he parked the car and walked to the arcade "Jeddy's House" that was qualified as a Mars Entertainment arcade game franchise store, he unexpectedly discovered that one of his colleagues was here, it was " Cypher Dabowater, the actual designer of the game Sheriff Balotelli.

And the other party obviously discovered him.
