Game Development Giant

Therefore, this year, the major media have gathered together again, and they are preparing to come up with a trump card.

That’s the awards live broadcast!

However, this plan is still under internal discussion. As the owner of "game", Jester naturally knows everything about it. However, although it has not been decided yet, the internal discussion is still very heated. Regarding For VGA, which has TV media participating, live broadcast is not difficult for them, so everyone involved in the discussion is in favor of this new plan.

Jester also thinks this is a good idea.

Live broadcast of the award ceremony on television can indeed greatly increase the popularity of this award.

As a player, Jester knows how attractive this kind of live broadcast of awards is to players. Therefore, when he learned that VGA planned to broadcast this year's awards through live TV, he also I feel that if gdc does not change, it may really be surpassed by vga.

After all, VGA's selection is more friendly to those players.

GDC's selection is much more cold-blooded.

This was similar to the situation of the two major awards in the world that Jester was familiar with later. Although the history of GDC was earlier than that of VGA, the influence of VGA later was higher than that of GDC. To be precise, it was The influence in the minds of players must be higher than that of GDC. The problem is that the games selected by GDC are really too cold and unpopular with players.

However, GDC no longer cares and still goes its own way.

However, Jester alone cannot have the final say in live broadcasting the GDC awards ceremony. After all, the organizer of GDC is not him or Mars Entertainment, but the World Electronic Games Association, which was founded by him. It's true, but it was three companies that initiated the establishment, and. There are also twenty permanent members, all of whom have voting rights.

Things like live broadcasting GDC's annual celebration, although it does not need to be voted by all members.

But it also requires the consent of at least three initiators.

Therefore, he still needs to inform Sega and Sony about this matter. Although Jester expected that they would not object to this kind of thing, they still need to inform them first.

Fortunately, there is still some time before the GDC conference at the end of the year, so Jester is not in a hurry.

In fact, it was at the e3 exhibition before. It's not just "Quake 4" that's stealing the show. For example, another brand-new game from Mars Entertainment, a game called "Sword and Demon Sealing Record" developed by people from China, has attracted a lot of people's attention. Even though a year has passed, the craze for "Diablo" has not weakened much among North American players.

This is thanks to the role of Battle.net and the ladder.

"Diablo" can be said to have led the resurgence of a game type. It seems that since this game became popular, North American players have instantly become interested in other games of this type.

And following the trend is also the favorite thing to do in the gaming industry. Because this is the safest way.

Therefore, over the past year or so, the sales of Diablo games have been pretty good.

However, over the past year or so, a large number of games of this type have been released. Some players are also a little tired of this crazy following behavior. Of course, the main reason is that there are too many such games. And there is no "Diablo" to play, not to mention they don't have Battle.net for players to use.

Therefore, the sales of Diablo games in the past month or two have not been very good.

Actually. This is not yet the era when Diablo explodes into gaming. Even during the period of history that Jester experienced, it only appeared after Diablo 2 was released.

At the beginning, neither players nor producers from other companies paid much attention to this game, and naturally they were no longer interested.

It’s not that players are no longer interested in Diablo-oriented games. In fact, before the E3 exhibition, a survey was organized to ask players what games they most want to see at the E3 exhibition. The first thing is natural. It was Jester's 'era' plan that had been postponed for n years. The second one was "Diablo 2", which reminded Jester of the three most unlikely games at the subsequent E3 exhibition.

ff7, the man-eating vulture, and Shenmue 3.

Of course, these three games were later announced at the pre-show conference of the first E3, which caused a shock no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake.

Naturally, at this time's e3, there was still not much news about the 'era'. However, at Mars Entertainment's pre-show press conference, Jester took the stage in person after several years. Although he didn't say much about the 'Era' project, Jester still explained that most of the development progress of this game has been completed, and it is not far away from the real release.

But although there is no news about "Era", there is still news about Diablo 2. The teams of Mike Mowaimi and Bill Rogge have been developing this game for a whole year, and they started working on "Invincible Heroes" at the same time. Once it was released, it achieved extremely good sales. However, the Diablo 2 project is much larger and naturally requires much more time.

Although players did not get further news about the ‘Era’ project at e3, nor did they get the actual game screen of Diablo 2.

But they saw a real-machine demonstration of a brand new arpg dark game, and there was also a real-machine trial!

This is really a dark game that is fun to play and very interesting.

Anyone who has played this game has to admit that if we only talk about the stand-alone part, this game is much better than Diablo 1. Moreover, in terms of graphics and optimization, this game is called "Sword and Demon Sealing Record" The games are definitely among the best in the industry.

"Is this really a game developed by Chinese people?"

This was all the questions in the minds of people who played this game at e3 at that time.

In fact, even within Mars Entertainment, there are many people who have this kind of doubt, especially when the big fat man Bill Rogge played this game for the first time. As the person in charge of the Diablo 2 project, it was originally historically The father of Diablo, he really felt the attraction of this game called "Sword and Demon Sealing Record", although it is very different from the Diablo 2 they are starting.

However, they can still learn a lot from it.

This couldn't help but surprise them. (To be continued...)
