Game Development Giant

When Jester revealed to Oprah that his company was about to launch three new games and that there were two other large-scale games under development, the audience who participated in the recording in the audience couldn't help but exclaim. made a surprised sound.

Many people there thought that Jester made the game called "American Cube" just for the first pot of money. When he made money, his company would definitely transform, such as making computers.

Computers are now an absolutely emerging industry that is favored by everyone. I don’t know how many people are rushing into this industry like crazy, which seems to be full of gold.

Because this industry is indeed filled with amazing profits right now.

On the other hand, video games were a popular investment a year ago, but with the collapse of Atari, they are now at the end of their rope. Whoever gets involved is a fool.

Jester looked at the reaction of the people in the audience. This was what he expected. The harm Atari did to the entire American video game industry is difficult to describe in words. If I have to use one word, it is destruction.

You know, rebuilding is much harder than developing, especially getting players who have given up to change their minds.

Jester knew that this could be accomplished overnight in less than a day or two. Even a masterpiece with no shortcomings such as "Super Mario" did not sell 40 million copies overnight. It would take time to make up for what players had already done. Trauma takes a lot of time.

He even told the news about the home machine.

This idea suddenly appeared in Jester's mind uncontrollably. He actually wanted to see him tell him about his company in a bad way. A company that now makes everyone jealous and envious would look bad to everyone in this world. How will they react when their industry goes dark?

Will you be **excited? Aha, this unlucky company is finally going to die by overestimating its capabilities!

Jester didn't know, but he could try.

While everyone was still immersed in the news that he had previously announced that his company would continue to develop games, he said another piece of news in an extremely calm tone, which made these people even more unable to extricate themselves.

“My company has previously integrated all of Atari’s hardware R\u0026D team, and they are currently working hard to develop a new console with performance that completely surpasses all home games currently on the market. The exact product information will be announced by the end of the year, and it will be official. The samples will also be exhibited at the CESA exhibition in Las Vegas early next year."

This time, the temporary audience in the audience was no longer as surprised as when they heard Jester talking about the new game. The expressions on their faces gradually turned into shock. At the same time, a buzzing discussion also started. , although it was messy, Jester could still roughly hear their similar arguments.

"He's crazy!"

"He forgot about Atari?"

“It’s not because you’ve made a successful game that you’re overestimating your abilities!”

"They are seeking death!"

"With this market prospect, it's enough to just make arcade games. How dare they make home console games?"

And so on.

Oprah didn't expect this to happen. She also looked at Jester in surprise. Although she didn't know much about this aspect, she still knew that if she just developed a game, she wouldn't invest too much. High, even if several games in a row fail, the losses will not be too severe. After all, you can't build thousands of arcade machines in advance and put them in stock.

But home use is different. Home machines are for players, and game cartridges are also for players. At least 100,000 units must be reserved before they can be sold. What is the concept of 100,000 units? If they are produced, they cannot be sold. If you go out, it will be a loss of at least tens of millions, plus at least four or five games accompanying the game console. Calculated based on 100,000 copies of each game, that is four to five million copies.

You know, it is rumored that the landfill that Atari just buried in the New Mexico desert contained only 790,000 game cartridges.

A giant like Atari cannot afford such a loss, let alone a company that has just been established and only has one popular arcade machine?

She wanted to persuade Jester, but she thought that her relationship was not so close, so it was difficult for her to speak.

Jester also noticed something strange about Oprah. He still had a good impression of the talk show queen who would become famous in the future, so he said directly: "It's okay, I know what I'm doing. When I was recruiting The slogan is to make the best games. The slogan of revitalizing the electronic game industry and the huge sales of "American Cube" have attracted this group of the best game designers in the United States. They rely on their understanding of electronic games. The love for games has gathered around me. As a person who loves video games and someone who really wants to revitalize this industry, I can't let them down, nor can I let myself down. And..."

Jester paused, glanced at the buzzing audience below, and smiled. His tone became extremely confident, "Ms. Oprah, you are so sure that I will fail." ?"

Oprah listened to Jester's words, and she also showed a bright smile. She could see a familiar look in Jester's eyes, which was the same as when she vowed to become the best host. She was no longer ridiculed and discriminated against by her male colleagues. Her eyes were as firm as a piece of steel that had been tempered many times, so she no longer insisted on her previous ideas. Since the other party was full of confidence in what she wanted to do, Why should she worry so blindly?

"I wish you success."

"I'd like to lend you some good words."

Jester nodded and did not continue to say too many words.

When the voices of the audience below gradually disappeared, the interview continued. However, no matter what questions were asked below, they could not cause Jester to suddenly announce that he was developing a new game console that would enter the market that has been The news of the destruction of the squeaky-clean home console industry is shocking.

This dullness lasted until the end, when Oprah suddenly said that she had obtained a videotape of a new game launch and trial session held by Mars Entertainment a few days ago, which attracted the attention of the audience again.

They were also all curious about what Jester, who had just said so arrogantly about reviving the power of video games, would do with his new game.

However, they may be disappointed. There is no specific introduction to the game in this video tape. Instead, it focuses on the grand event of the launch trial event. There are only a few shots of specific game scenes.

However, the players interviewed were all full of praise for the three latest games of Mars Entertainment. More than a dozen people were interviewed in succession, from teenagers to young people in their twenties, including adults in their thirties, with all kinds of talents. have.

They all unanimously commented on these three games. Although the gameplay is different, they are all games that are not inferior to "American Cube".

This made the audience unable to sit still. Is it not inferior to "American Cube"? Just one "American Cube" helped Mars Entertainment sell nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in sales. Three games that are not inferior are not bad, but aren't they going to sell another 300 million U.S. dollars?

It's just nonsense.

How can U.S. dollars be so profitable? Do you really think we Americans are stupid and how quickly can money come?

This video is fake at first glance. The people in it are all actors. Everything in it is directed and acted by Mars Entertainment. Otherwise, how could they only show a few scenes of the game that you can’t understand the gameplay at all? ?

This is naked-naked hype!

Especially when the recorder of this video said that some players who were still unsatisfied after the trial spent money to buy other people's license plates to try it again, and the price rose directly from fifty US dollars to one hundred US dollars, the audience was even more exposed. The crowd looked angry.

This videotape is an insult to their intelligence!

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey! You are a liar!" Finally, one audience member couldn't help it and cursed angrily. After that, the word "liar" spread throughout the world like a signal. More than a hundred spectators in the audience looked at Jester with fierce eyes, and then shouted liar in unison.

A few even stood up, as if they wanted to come forward and use their bodies to teach Jester a lesson about his previous arrogance and this deception.

At this time, even Oprah looked a little panicked. She had never encountered such a situation, and she also knew that this video tape was recorded by a colleague of ABC. After watching it in advance, she also She had doubts, but after she contacted ABC's Jack Aston who was responsible for doing the location interview by phone, she was shocked by the other person's answer.

"More popular than what you see on tape."

This is nothing, what is serious is the word "yellow-skinned monkey" before, which is naked racial discrimination, not to mention that she is a black man, and she hates it even more.

"Ha ha……"

Just when Oprah wanted to stand up and stop the noisy scene, Jester laughed loudly.

He looked at the angry audience with some disdain and said in a contemptuous tone: "Even if you call me a liar, you have to see what these three games are like first."

As he spoke, Jester reached out and pointed to the sturdy white man who was the first to shout out the words "yellow-skinned monkey" and "liar". He still had a faint smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile. "I dare to ask this gentleman, can you tell me your name?"

The white man looked at the crowd around him who were also flushed and angry. He seemed very courageous. He said his name loudly without any hesitation: "Henry Stuart, my name is Henry Stuart." Te, what do you want?"

But this time he didn't say any more racist words. He also knew that just the discriminatory word he used before was enough to get him into trouble.

In the United States, racial discrimination is something you can do, but not say.

This is taboo.

"Nothing. Since you call me a liar, do you dare to make a bet with me? If whoever loses, he will run naked around the Art Institute of Chicago three times, and the whole process will be broadcast live to the entire United States - "Don't worry, I'll pay for all the live broadcast expenses." As he spoke, Jester showed a malicious expression on his face, and his eyes looked at the white man with a cold light.

Then this big white man named Henry Stuart was as if he had eaten a fly. He couldn't say a word. He looked at the people around him and all turned their eyes towards him. He didn't want to do it anyway. Back off at this point.

But, obviously, his momentum was not as strong as before. He was silent for several seconds before he opened his mouth, pretending to be loud, and shouted in a fierce tone: "I want to know first what you want to bet on!"

"Just because you said I'm a liar, I'm going to do a press conference and trial session in Chicago like the one in Costa Mesa. When the time comes, I will buy this time slot and broadcast it live to the whole United States. If I If these three games cannot cause a sensation in Chicago, then I lose, and if they cause a sensation, you lose, how about that?"

Jester grinned, revealing his white teeth, and his smile seemed bright. The look in his eyes seemed to have not changed at all from before, but he was surprised to reveal an undisguised chill.
