Game Development Giant

Of course, although "game" and many players who participated in the trial feel that this game is good.

But there are still many different voices.

There are also many people who are not optimistic about the future of this game. Among them are some practitioners in the video game industry. For example, the famous Emperor Britannia, the founder of Virgin Games, and the father of "Genesis", Richard. Garrett, this godfather-like figure in RPG games.

When receiving media interviews.

When the media asked him: "Mr. Richard Garrett, you are a senior developer of RPG games. Your "Genesis" has a very high reputation in the game industry. So, what do you think of "Runestone Guardian"?" What about this game?"

Richard Garrett glanced at the interviewer with disdain.

"First of all, I have not been invited to play this game, but since you asked, I can give some brief answers. I have heard about Mr. Jester Lee's new game from my friends before, and I also I’ve seen a friend try it out, what should I say? If Mr. Jester Lee insists on calling a Minesweeper game with a new skin an RPG, then there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Immediately, the interviewer discovered something very ironic in Richard Garrett's words.

Therefore, he immediately pursued the question.

"Excuse me, Mr. Richard Garrett, can I ask again, do you really think this is just a game similar to Minesweeper?"

Maybe it was because Richard Garrett was in a hurry at the time.

He was obviously impatient with the interviewer's continuous questioning, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said before, so he just waved his hand unhappily, indicating that the interviewer should stop asking questions and he wanted to get in the car. , and at the same time, he couldn't help but answer the interviewer's question.

"From what I have seen about the content and gameplay of this game, it is indeed as boring as Minesweeper."

Finished. Richard Garrett closed the car door directly, and then stepped on the accelerator without saying a word, so that the interviewer asked at a very fast speed: "You mean mine clearance is a very boring job?" A game?”

He didn't hear the question clearly, let alone answer it.

However, this is enough for this game media to produce an eye-catching report about Richard Garrett.

"King of Britain Richard Garrett said that Jester Lee's new game "Runestone Guardian" has no merit at all, and he also believes that this so-called game cannot be called an RPG at all. The game is just Minesweeper with a new skin. Moreover, he also thinks that the game Minesweeper is not worth mentioning."

Within a few days, such an article caused an uproar in the video game industry.

You know, Richard Garrett and Jester Lee are both godfather figures in the video game circle, although Jester Lee is more famous, has a wider range of interests, and has more fans. However, Richard Garrett is the developer of "Genesis" after all, in the field of RPG games, especially in the field of American RPGs. The status he possesses is supreme.

Although Jester has made several RPG games before, after all, the style of the games he makes is still Japanese-style, and in the circle of American RPG players. They are not interested in Jester's games.

How many people like it, how many people hate it.

That's what happened to Jester.

This time Richard Garrett reports. It became a trigger, and many American RPG players immediately began to ridicule Jester's new game.

It is now the 1990s, and in the United States, the most rudimentary online forums have appeared.

In a game forum.

A post supporting Richard Garrett was immediately upvoted by a large number of American RPG players. The content of this post is still very high-level.

The post reads like this.

"First of all, at the beginning, let's admit that Jester is indeed a top figure in game development, but after all, Jester's main reputation is based on console games."

"Not to mention Jester's few RPG-like games, they don't have these traditional American games. Two of them are brand-new game types created by him. One is FPS and the other is RTS. Forgive me. Frankly speaking, I have played both games, and many of my friends have played them.”

“At that time, I need to make it clear that I don’t think there is anything interesting about these two games. For example, one game is just like holding a gun and randomly clicking, and the other game is just using the mouse to click and then randomly In the past, it really lacked playability."

"Many of my friends say this."

"So, in my opinion, Jester Lee is not suitable for game development on the PC platform, let alone rigorous RPG games that require rich plots. I don't own the game "Runestone Guardian" I have played it, but as Richard Garrett said, many of my friends have obtained test qualifications from Mars Entertainment."

"I asked them and they all said the same thing."

"This is just an interesting, low-level game. It is not qualified to be called an RPG at all, let alone compared with the works of Mr. Richard Garrett."

"Of course, many opponents may ask, why do so many game magazines, such as the famous "Game", give such high evaluations to this game, and those who participated in "Rune Stone" interviewed by these magazines? Interviews with trial players of "Guardians" all spoke highly of this game. Why has this game become so unsatisfactory in your opinion?"

"When faced with such a question, I originally didn't bother to answer it, but since someone asked it sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy. It's very simple. First of all, you have to make it clear that I did not say "Fu" Why is the game "Stone Guardian" so bad? What I'm saying is that this is just a small-level game with some novelty. Secondly, don't you know whose magazine "game" belongs to? Who doesn't know that this is Jace? How could they possibly report negative news about Mars Entertainment and Jester Lee when they are under Te Lee’s name?”

"Finally, I would like to advise all Jesters not to think that Jester will be able to dominate the PC game field after becoming invincible in the field of consoles. Although his first two PC games achieved certain success by relying on tricks, but , in RPG, a game type with a long tradition, it is not his turn to draw the rules.”

Such an offensive and satirical article immediately caused an uproar on this American RPG game forum.

Many Richard Garrett and die-hard fans of American RPG games jumped out to express their approval.

Such as.

"Well said! Well-founded!"

"Yes, that makes sense. In the RPG field, Jester Lee is not even worthy of carrying Richard Garrett's shoes!"

"What about Jester Lee, who is the best game designer in the world? Who gave him the title? Have you asked us players? Needless to say, I am the first to refuse! Why is he not the King of Britain? king?"

"Yes, in my opinion, Richard Garrett is the best game designer!"

"I think this time Jester's new game will definitely become his Waterloo. It is said that there are only three developers of this game. Except for one of them being Jester, the other two are actually just two people. Ordinary intern, does Jester have this kind of attitude towards a game that players expect?"

"What you said upstairs is true? This game was completed by Jester and two interns?"

There are many answers like this, but those Jester fans are naturally not easy to mess with. Although in this prehistoric era of the Internet, those who often use PC to fool around on the Internet are PC players and there are very few console players. It doesn't mean that Jester doesn't have supporters.

Soon, Jester's supporters came to this American RPG game forum.

I got into a fight with these people.

"Why can't Jester make a good PC game? Needless to say, without the scroll movement effect engine on the PC that Jester completed a few years ago, you guys can now play "Ultima" and play it. The picture of the scroll moving?”

"Needless to say, you said that Master Jester's PC games are not good, but why haven't you seen any games from Master Richard Garrett that can sell three million copies on PC alone? Really? Shameless words!”

"That's it, it's not your turn to talk nonsense about whether the game is good or not. Needless to say, among all the games created by Richard Garrett, do you think that "Fire Emblem" has a high sales volume? What does it mean to know that an RPG game has sold over 10 million copies?"

"Yes, I guess you guys can't even imagine how much space ten million game cartridges would take up if put together?"

Of course, in the face of the counterattack from these Jester Lee fans, although the people on this forum were a little angry, but after all, it is different from the environment in later generations where accounts and comments will be banned directly if they disagree. They play American RPGs and think of themselves. Someone with a very high standard would naturally disdain to do this.

If they do this, doesn't it show that they think they can't defeat each other? (To be continued...)
