Game Development Giant

As soon as Suzuki Yu comes back, things are not as simple as Namco thought.

The current market for 3D fighting games is very clear. The rise of "Tekken" has been unstoppable. If Mars Entertainment does not make mistakes, then they can easily stabilize this share.

And how many similar games can survive in this market? This question is difficult to answer, mainly because there is a little controversy about what survival is.

There may be some small companies who feel that if they can have a single-digit share, they will be very good and live a comfortable life. However, from the perspective of major arcade manufacturers such as Sega and Namco, they cannot get at least one-third. market share is a failure.

Sega has experienced the failure of "VR Warrior 2", and "VR Warrior 3" will definitely give its best.

A game's IP cannot withstand two failures.

Calculating the time, this new 3D fighting game that Namco is developing is very likely to collide with this similar game from Sega.

A brand new game, and a game with a lot of foundation and accumulation. If such a collision occurs, the failure will most likely be this brand new game.

Unless, this brand new game can be much better than the other one in terms of quality.

But here's the problem.

Who dares to pat his chest and say that he can make 3D fighting games better than Suzuki Yu? You know, Suzuki Yu is the originator of 3D arcade fighting games. Even Itagaki Tomonobu, who often sneers at "VR Warrior", if he sees Suzuki Yu, he will obediently call him master.

Suzuki Yu's return has also caused such an uproar in the Japanese gaming community, which Jester had not expected before.

But now he doesn't have time to care about this.

The affairs of the 'Era' project are enough to make him exhausted, not to mention that he also has to pay attention to the release status of several games of his own company that he attaches great importance to.

in these games. Only Diablo is a PC game.

Jester's millions of prophecies have long been known to everyone, not just within Mars Entertainment, but also to all well-informed media. These media even reported them as official news. Got out.

This makes many people who don't like Jester and Mars Entertainment extremely unhappy. They have never played the game called "Diablo" that Jester is optimistic about. They don't know what kind of game it is, but it can be played by Jester. Stern praised it so much, and also from several media outlets who have tried this game. Judging from the news circulating on the street, it must be of high quality.

However, for a PC game to sell millions of copies is still too amazing in this era.

If it were a console game, with the influence of Mars Entertainment's console, these people might be dissatisfied, but they would never be sarcastic. But PC games... really treat us like primary school students.

Some of these people don't like Mars Entertainment themselves, and a large part of them are the bastards of other hardware vendors. Mars Entertainment is also doing this kind of thing, and it is impossible for the other two companies not to do it. These trolls will publish some news that is not beneficial to Mars Entertainment whenever they have the opportunity. Jester and the others don't dare to hack him. Now that Jester's prestige is unparalleled, no one can hack him.

but. Mars Entertainment’s other games can be hacked at will.

Especially when "Diablo" left such a big hole this time.

Moreover, the other party is very clever in blackmail.

"It is true that we have learned that the quality of "Diablo" is very outstanding, and it is a rare high-quality RPG game..." First of all, these people tried hard to praise the game, even though the praise was rude. That's not true. It can be seen from their words that they have never tried this game at all.

But everyone definitely likes to hear good words.

However, immediately after they praised the game, they immediately raised their own doubts.

They are not directly saying anything bad about this game, but they are saying that several other PC games are very famous and have good sales. However, what they have in common is that none of these games has exceeded the 100-year mark. Sales volume of 10,000 sets.

In the current PC game industry, it is a great thing for a game to break one million copies. Except for a few games from Mars Entertainment that have reached this level, other PC games can break one million copies, no more than one finger. Numbers, of course, are not just now. Even more than ten years later, if PC games can exceed one million sets, they will be legendary sales.

These people finally made a special statement about Jester's million-sales forecast.

And what they really want to express is naturally self-evident, it must be to ridicule Jester for being arrogant and talking nonsense.

Any game can be touted by him as a million-selling game. It would be fine if this game was produced by a big shot in the industry. But the problem is that this game is made by two independent producers for the first time. Developed under the leadership of young people.

If a game like this could sell millions of copies.

Are you really implying that the producers of other companies are all sbs?

If not, then it can only be that you are too arrogant and do not take the heroes of the world seriously.

Mars Entertainment cannot refute this, because Jester did say that "Diablo" could sell millions of units, and there is no way to defend this.

In fact, when this matter was highly hyped in various gaming media in the United States, it also gave people who did not originally pay attention to this game an opportunity to learn about it and get in touch with it.

Some fans of Mars Entertainment will not pay attention to or like all the games of Mars Entertainment. Generally speaking, these people will only pay attention to a few specific series or a few extremely famous producers. game.

After all, Mars Entertainment is so big that they produce more than ten or twenty games every year.

Not every game can be the best of the best.

In fact, three or five high-quality games in a year are already a huge profit for Mars Entertainment.

As a result, "Diablo" was so criticized and hyped by both parties around the topic of whether it could sell one million units, that it actually doubled his attention. I don't know what this means for this person. Is this a blessing or a curse for a game that hasn't even been released yet?

But after Jester found out.

But instead of being angry, he is happy. (To be continued...)
