Game Development Giant

Sega and Sony's guesses are good.

This demonstration video is indeed impossible to produce on the next-generation console. In fact, the picture that Jester completed is exactly the picture that can only be completed by the home console of the PS2 era.

But they were wrong about one thing.

It is true that the next-generation console prepared by Mars Entertainment cannot have the performance of the original historical generation of the legendary PS2. However, because it adopts some special architecture, its performance is completely comparable to that of the Dreambox 3 originally planned to be developed. One and a half times, although it is not as incredible as the original PS2 in history, it is still far superior to the Saturn that Sega is preparing to develop and the original PS1 in history, which is the PS2 of this era.

So, although, the picture will definitely shrink.

However, it will definitely not shrink as much as Sony and Sega people expected.

In addition to Sony and Sega, who were shocked by the pictures in the demo video, players and other game makers were extremely shocked.

For the players, they seemed to have the same shocking feeling as when they saw "Star Wars" back then, and they felt that such a game was not something that could be had in this era.

And game developers are even more so.

Even more than that, they feel as if they have just understood Newton's classical mechanics and are ready to show off their skills, but suddenly find that other people's papers on the theory of relativity have already been written. The gap is too big, the technical gap It was so big that they had never dared to think of such a level of pictures before.

This is true. In this video display, Jester did have the idea of ​​showing off his skills.

This is something that later game companies often do, especially on consoles. For example, just after the later generations of Xbox and PS4 were released, both parties announced two such games respectively. The graphics were extremely explosive, just to show off their technology and functions.

"Son of Rome" on xbo and "The Order 1882" on ps4.

These two games were not developed for sales or so-called fun at all. They were developed for only a few purposes, which is to announce to players and other developers to see what the performance of our console can achieve. , let’s see how sophisticated our graphics can be, not just in the era of xbo and ps4, but also in previous eras.

For example, in the era of xbo360 and ps3. Representatives of such games are "Gears of War" and "Uncharted".

Soon, this kind of news that shocked the industry spread all over the world through various programs, newspapers and periodicals. Most people had no way of seeing the video demonstration at the pre-show press conference before the e3 exhibition. They also We can only look at the various boasts made by various media editors through newspapers and periodicals. Among these various boasts, this demonstration was almost blown to the sky.

"An epoch-making game!"

“Totally beyond imagination!”

"One year of accumulation finally broke out. Shocking the industry!"

"How do Sega and Sony compete?"

Articles like this are basically everywhere, and players who read these articles in game newspapers want to see it with their own eyes. What kind of demonstration video did Mars Entertainment release that could make so many media say such a thing?

It seems that the battle for the next generation of consoles has already been decided before it even begins.

"...I can conclude without mercy that if Mars Entertainment can produce a game with this kind of graphics in the next generation of console battle, then Sega and Sony will be no match for them."

Jester's official magazine "game". Naturally, I also spare no effort to brag at this time.

Players also watched the video demonstration of the 'Era' project announced by Mars Entertainment at the e3 exhibition through various game shows. Although it was only a short ten minutes, it made countless players watch it for a few seconds. I don't feel bored at all because the game graphics in this display are really amazing, completely surpassing the dot matrix games they are playing now for who knows how many years.

"This is a game that can only be found in the next era."

This is the voice of countless players after seeing this video demonstration.

Of course, they will also have such questions.

"Can such a picture really be realized? Wasn't Mars Entertainment deceiving us?" Even with this question, some media interviewers asked more than once when interviewing people from Mars Entertainment.

In the end, I was asked too many questions, and Mars Entertainment really had no choice.

Just take the initiative to hold a press conference and answer some questions about this demonstration video.

Among them, the one that players and the industry are most concerned about is, can the game that Jester wants to make really be as good as the one just demonstrated?

Mars Entertainment’s answer is very ambiguous.

"We can't guarantee that."

Mars Entertainment’s answer was certainly not satisfactory, so they quickly added: “Our goal is to produce such a picture. It can be said that we are technically incapable of producing such a picture. The picture is no longer a problem at all. The final question now is whether our next-generation console can handle such a picture."

The level of the picture is linked to the performance of the hardware, everyone knows this.

Developing a console that is both stable and as powerful as possible within a reasonable cost is the key to the success or failure of this matter.

"Furthermore, I can also tell you one thing. In order to be able to develop this game, our boss even directly asked the hardware development department to make some modifications to our next-generation console to make it more powerful. Although, We can’t guarantee now whether we will be able to make the game reach the level of our demonstration when it is released, but we can guarantee that we will try our best to do it.”

Such guarantees are actually just clichés and of no use at all.

But for players, they just like to hear it. Although Mars Entertainment has not explicitly said that we can definitely do it, but they can say that we will do our best to do it, and they are very satisfied.

As for whether Mars Entertainment will try its best to do so.

At least from Jester's point of view, he did devote all the power of Mars Entertainment to this game. (To be continued...)
