Game Development Giant

And when you buy an xbo, you can't just buy one game, right?

Then there is no point in buying a host.

I will definitely buy a few more games, such as Microsoft’s own “Gears of War” and “Halo” series. It’s time to give them a try, right?

In this way, Microsoft's goal has been achieved. After all, the "Tomb Raider" series also has a large number of fans.

For example, they transformed "Tomb Raider 9". In fact, "Tomb Raider 9" is the player's own statement, because it is the ninth part of "Tomb Raider", but in fact, the official has never It has been said on any occasion that this is "Tomb Raider 9", and it has never been written like this on any posters or promotional posters.

They say it's a new Tomb Raider.

Because this is the first work after the restart of the "Tomb Raider" series, it completely abandons the style of the previous "Tomb Raider" and fully learns from the "Uncharted" series.

The core of the previous "Tomb Raider" series was puzzle solving, while the core of the new "Tomb Raider" is action adventure.

There is a fundamental difference.

Of course, judging from the demonstration of "Tomb 10", which is also the new "Tomb 2", eidos not only went to the "Uncharted" development team to study, but also went to the "The Last of Us" development team for a period of time, otherwise If so, there is no reason why this game would be able to take advantage of both games so much.

The sales volume of consoles is what Jester is most worried about in the future. No one is sure of the release of each generation of consoles.

Don’t look at it. Later, Sony’s PS4 sales were overwhelming. In the first quarter of 2015, the sales volume was more than the sales of all other consoles combined. However, before the official release of PS4, no one from Sony dared to talk about their console. It's a good thing to be able to buy.

Just like Shuhei Yoshida, someone else is interviewing him. Ask him why ps4 can sell so well.

Shuhei Yoshida said this very strangely.

"We don't know why so many people buy ps4. We are also wondering where these people come from."

In fact, every time a console is released, it is a situation like this. Just because your last console had an advantage does not mean that you will still have an advantage this time. It is very likely that not long after the console is released, offense and defense will become easier.

After watching the development of next-generation consoles, Jester did not leave the hardware development center. Because the most secret project currently underway is not the development of a new console, but a small development team that has been secretly underway for five years.

Within Mars Entertainment, not many people know about this development team code-named Project X.

No matter how hard I count, there won't be more than five people.

Even at the group's internal meetings every year, this group is kept secretive about what reports are published.

but. Every time Jester came to the hardware development center that was not located at the Mars Entertainment headquarters, he would personally visit the development team of Project X, the most mysterious project in the entire group, to understand the situation.

This development team is not large, only about thirty people.

For a hardware development team, this number is really not high.

but. Everyone here is the most famous somatosensory device expert in the industry, and this development project is carried out by the development team named Project X. It is the somatosensory device on the home game console. This is a plan that Jester started five years ago.

The people in Project X did not express any surprise when they saw Jester's arrival. There wasn't even any special indication.

They continue to do their own thing.

And Jester just looked at it casually, and then winked at the person in charge of Project He nodded and followed Jester to his office.

The conditions of Plan X are very loose, and Jester did not arrange any research and development requirements for the development team.

On the contrary, the people in this development team have the highest salary, the best treatment, and the least stressful job, but no one dares to take it lightly.

When each of them joined this development team, they signed a strict confidentiality clause, prohibiting any disclosure of any content about Project X to the outside world. Moreover, the internal assessment of Project , if a person in the x plan development team fails to meet the assessment requirements, then this person will be expelled from the x plan team.

Although I will still have a good job in the hardware development center of Mars Entertainment.

However, the salary will be directly reduced by half.

This is something no member of the x development team wants to see.

"How's the development going?"

Jester didn't go around in circles. When he saw James coming to the office, he asked straight to the point.

Although Dr. James was a former professor at Stanford, he had stayed with Jester for a long time, so he knew Jester's character very well. After hearing Jester's question, he was not dissatisfied and just smiled. Laughed, then shook his head.

"If we want to reach the level of somatosensory you mentioned, we may need at least ten years of continuous research and development. However, the somatosensory equipment we developed on Dreambox3 is very smooth for melee combat. It is basically guaranteed that the somatosensory equipment sold on Dreambox3 At the same time, we will sell the somatosensory equipment we equipped him with..." When he said this, Dr. James paused for a moment.

Then he added.

"However, although our somatosensory equipment currently has no rival among other gaming companies, it still cannot meet your requirements of providing players with a flawless experience."

Hearing Dr. James' answer, Jester was also a little disappointed. Although he had expected it, and he basically read every development report of Project X carefully, so he was not sure about the current progress of Project X. He still has a very good understanding of how far he can achieve it. Basically, it is roughly equivalent to the level he remembered in the original world in the late 1990s.

"It seems that my plan to start promoting motion sensing on dreambo3 can no longer be completed."

Jester sighed.

"actually……"

James actually wanted to say what he said. Although their current body feeling is not as smooth as Jester requires, if it is really added to their next-generation console, it will still have a very good effect. From their perspective Judging from my own experiments, there are many people who like this very special way of playing the game. (To be continued...)
