Game Development Giant

It cannot be said that it is unwilling.

Or to put it another way, Mars Entertainment is not willing to give such generous treatment to all third-party companies.

Capcom has been a die-hard fan of Mars Entertainment since Mars Entertainment first began to rise. This has never changed. The two parties have even made in-depth masterpieces in the development of arcade games.

The most important thing is that Capcom was the first company to defect from Nintendo's camp that year.

Jester admired Kenzo Kenzo's courage, vision, and courage immensely.

The problem is this time...

Capcom is a very strange game company. It has not actually changed leaders in nearly thirty years, but their attitudes towards the game market are completely different.

Especially in the nineties.

If you are a player who only came into contact with Capcom after the millennium, you may not know that in the 1990s, when the console war was in full swing, this game company, which later players called Capcom, was in the game market. How great is his behavior.

This can be seen from Capcom’s corporate strategy at the time to ‘balance the industry’.

Maybe many people will laugh when they see these four words. Is it worthy of saying the words "balance the industry"? In fact, at that time, Capcom relied on the great success of "Resident Evil" to have unparalleled influence in the industry. They did have the qualifications, and they did so.

They once developed "Code Veronica", an excellent game in the "Resident Evil" series for Sega's DC. From the sales of DC to the sophistication of this game, you can know that Capcom is very good at this game. Above, the experience of spending is completely unequal, because this game is outstanding in the entire Resident Evil series. They can all be ranked in the top three.

Another example is the "Resident Evil: Zero" they developed on Nintendo's console at the time, which can be ranked among the entire series.

At that time, Capcom was not like what it would be later. Because the sales data of the platform was low, they would not develop games. On the contrary, they would insist on developing games for those whose sales data were not good, and they would double the effort. of intention.

Therefore, Capcom’s “Resident Evil” series is on a platform with low market share. The quality of the games is very high, and they really fulfilled their company strategy at the time to balance the industry.

This kind of joint vertical and horizontal spirit was extremely rare among third-party game companies at the time.

Of course, this does not mean that Capcom does not care about game companies with high market share at this time. In fact, the recognized highest achievement of the "Resident Evil" series, "Resident Evil 2", is on PS.

Follow the later card bitch. Totally different.

Capcom has already begun production of "Resident Evil", and it has also received support from Mars Entertainment's 3D project team. Especially in terms of 3D modeling, it gave them great convenience. However, although Jester did not restrict them at the time, they could only develop the "Resident Evil" series on their consoles.

I just want the movie rights to this game. Three in a row.

But here’s the problem. After all, Mars Entertainment has put a lot of effort into this game. According to Capcom’s current ethics. I'm afraid they are too embarrassed to release this game on other platforms.

Basically, at least the first part of "Resident Evil" is definitely exclusive to Dreambox 3.

The question is, when will dreambox3 be announced?

You know, among the current next-generation consoles, Dreambox 3 is the most mysterious.

Everyone nodded when they heard Jester saying that he wanted to win over Capcom. They all knew that Capcom's influence cannot be underestimated.

"Then there's "Dragon Quest"..."

When Jester talked about this famous Japanese national game, he had a headache because Enix was too close to Sony. He didn’t know how many benefits Sony had promised them to let them play it so quickly. It has shifted to Sony. Although they have not announced it to the outside world, judging from the current situation, if their side cannot provide similar treatment to Sony, then Enix may really turn their "Brave" "Dragon Quest" is exclusive to the PS2 console.

Many people are now debating whether it's worth giving Enix special treatment for Dragon Quest.

Opinions vary.

Because the game series "Dragon Quest" is not as influential as "Final Fantasy" worldwide, but in Japan, the influence of this game is not comparable to "Final Fantasy".

This is a game that can boost console sales in the Japanese market.

If others don't have it, then others will buy a console in order to play this game.

And when you buy a console, you don’t just buy one game.

"Dragon Quest" is the kind of game that can make people buy a console without hesitation. This kind of game is a must-have for every company nowadays.

"I personally disagree."

Jester expressed his thoughts: "Dragon Quest is indeed very important, but it is not important enough for us to ignore our established principles. When we competed with Nintendo for the Japanese market, they We stood unswervingly on Nintendo's side. We didn't back down at that time, and we didn't even fall behind. Now..."

It’s not a lot to say, but many people are still very moved when they recall the great achievements of Mars Entertainment.

They felt that Jester said a lot.

"Dragon Quest" is important, but not so important that Mars Entertainment disregards its principles. In fact, in the entire gaming industry, except for Jester, no one else's game has this qualification. .

"The show of hands begins now."

The final statistical results did not go beyond Jester's expectations. With an absolute majority, the possibility of further contact with Enix was rejected.

If they agree to the previous conditions, then they will continue to cooperate. If the other party does not agree, there is nothing they can do.

Now the three hardware vendors are constantly fighting over the new platform.

Or to put it another way, it is brewing. Although it is still calm now, Jester believes that once the new console is released, there will be storms in this calm brewing. (To be continued...)
