Chapter 434 Fly to London

With Jester's roar that officially began to start the carnival, the anger of the entire carnival party was pushed to **.

This time, not only has the attention of everyone, but it has more e-sports projects than last year, but also has a cosplay project that has been officially included in the carnival competition unit since this year. Although Jester is not very interested in this, including in his previous life, he didn't know why this project was so popular.

But seeing that there were indeed a large number of players who kept cheering and taking photos with the characters in the bed game, Jester thought of the cosplay competitions that would definitely be cosplay competitions in this large-scale game exhibition in later generations.

So, at the second carnival, it was added.

What players need to and desire is what we have to do, which is also a creed that Jester has adhered to since he founded Mars Entertainment.

After Jester finished this speech, he was about to fly to the UK. The reason was very simple. As a producer this year, he made two games day and night, and he also had to worry about the matter between the World Electronic Games League and the Second Mars Entertainment League. Basically, there was no rest this year.

So, Jester also decided to give himself a long holiday after finishing the carnival, the last major event of this year.

As for the game "Runite Guardian" is not big, Jester plans to start production after the Spring Festival because after he comes into contact with the UK vacation, he still has to rush to the country in the Pacific. He accepted the invitation, or rather, it is a response from the country to his reaction to the events in the middle of this year. They invited themselves to attend the annual Spring Festival Gala. After thinking about it over and over again, Jester agreed to the other party's request.

“The speech was successful.”

In the car heading to the airport, Mark Seney said to Jester sincerely.

Jester smiled unanimously. In fact, a lot of content was referenced in his speech just now. Mike Mohuami's speech at the opening ceremony of the Blizzard Carnival in 2013 was just a little adaptation. That time, Jester watched the live broadcast of the Blizzard Carnival on the Internet. It was accurate to be popular and stolen. He thought Mike Mohuami's speech was exciting at the time.

"I may have to discuss with Claudia on this vacation and determine the marriage between us. I won't be back in about a few months, and it will depend on you for the next Christmas promotional war."

Jester did not talk about his previous speech, but talked about his next work to Mark Senni. In previous years, Jester was not directly responsible for the Christmas promotion war, but Mark Senni would pay attention to this matter for the company, which was considered a major event within a year.

"Um."

Mark Seney didn't say nonsense either, just nodded. When he heard Jester say he was going to get married, a slight smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he also teased Jester: "Claudia has complained to me a lot in recent years, always saying that you are not good to her."

Jester was a little embarrassed by Mark Seney's words. He sighed and said, "I really feel sorry for her for leaving her alone in Europe over the years. Moreover, she has been here to see me after a while. But I rarely have time to see her."

"Actually, you don't need to work so hard." What Mark Seni said is the truth. As a game company that has already formed a scale and has seven or eight games being developed at the same time, there is indeed no need. Bosses like him are still developing games on the front line of development.

For example, although he also likes to make games, he usually only needs to make one for a year or two, so that he will have more spare time and will not prevent him from accompanying his wife and children.

Mark Seney got married more than a year ago and the children had before they got married.

"You don't understand."

Jester just said in a plain tone, then he seemed to think for a moment before adding another sentence: "I'm not waiting anymore."

Before I knew it, the car had arrived at the airport.

Before getting off the car, Jester seemed to remember something. He said to Mark Seney very seriously: "Right, Mark, during my absence, please help me pay attention to the development process of dreambox3. This time, our development guiding idea is to guide hardware development with software as the core. In the past two times, we first developed hardware, and then considered how to develop games based on hardware. In my prediction, the future game market will be dominated by hardware vendors and software vendors to dominate."

Jester also mentioned this at the previous high-level meeting, but many people think that Jester is exaggerating, because with the establishment of the World Electronics Association, Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony have reached a cooperation, and these three companies have almost controlled the entire hardware platform. As long as those third-party game manufacturers want to stay in this industry, they must follow the rules set by them.

"It won't be like this." Obviously, Mark Seney also agrees with this view. In his opinion, Mars Entertainment, which has become the maker of industry rules, cannot decline in a short period of time.

A faint light flashed in Jester's eyes, and he still had that faint tone.

"If you want to maintain the current form, it is indeed as you think, but the most important problem is that no one likes to surrender."

Mark Seney thought that Jester would talk about third-party developers, especially those who are dishonest like EA. EA had the idea of ​​joining other companies to launch its own consoles, but unexpectedly, Jester was caught off guard by the sudden measures of the World Electronic Games Association to divide the market, which made them temporarily dispel this idea.

Besides, even Nintendo has retreated. Do other third-party manufacturers still have the courage?

Therefore, Mark Seney spoke out his questions truthfully.

This is also the idea of ​​many people in the company. Jester couldn't completely reverse their views, but he still hoped that Mark Seni could think of it with him. He thought for a moment, organized the wording, and said: "They are indeed not as good as Nintendo. It can even be said that they are far worse than Nintendo. But have you ever thought that these third-party developers do not have the ability to shake the foundation of this pattern, but what about the companies that have completed this situation with us?"

When Mark Seney heard what Jester said, he was shocked. He knew what Jester was talking about.

"You mean Sega and Sony? They..."

He didn't say the rest, because it was enough for Jester to say this, and no one willingly surrendered to others. The temporary tolerance must be for the future counterattack. This is the theorem that has remained unchanged forever.

"I'm not worried about Sega, I'm worried about Sony."

Everyone in the company's senior management knows about Jester's importance to Sony. In Jester's eyes, Sega's threat is not as great as before.

"Yes, for a behemoth like Sony, as long as they are willing to give, there is almost nothing they can't do." Mark Seni also agreed with Jester's point of view. Sega is like them, and she is also specializing in the gaming industry. The most important thing is that Sega does not make much money as they do, and she is much more than Sega himself.

The development of games, the layout of channels, the development of hardware, and the recruitment of talents, ultimately, money is all about doing work. If you have money, you can have everything. Although this sentence is a bit absolute, it still makes sense. In terms of money, R&D, channels and talents, it is not as good as your own Sega.

No matter what exquisite strategy they have, they can easily crack it by themselves. This is their biggest shortcoming and why Jester did not take them seriously.

But Sony is not the case.

"Now, let's not talk about this for now. You only need to remind the development team of dreambox3 to listen to the opinions of those game producers. You must know that the essence of game consoles is to make games. Therefore, game consoles should provide game developers with the greatest convenience in game development. This is also the reason why I abandoned the dual CPU architecture in dreambox2, which is too unfavorable to game development."

Mark Seney also agrees deeply about this.

He is a game developer, so he has a high recognition of this point. In fact, Sony's later failure in the early stage of ps3 was because all developments were followed by hardware engineers and ignored the opinions of software developers. This led to the fact that after ps3 was developed, it had powerful functions, but it was extremely painful to develop games on ps3.

It was precisely because Mark Seni was the chief architect of PS when he made the mistake and made PS4 a game console completely born for games.

This is a huge improvement for Sony's hardware R&D institutions, which has allowed them to go from the arbitrary behavior of hardware developers to the correct track of development with software developers. The most important thing is that sales will not lie.

The sales of ps4 are indeed extremely brilliant. When the total sales of ps4 exceeded 20 million units, the sales of their old rival xbo were only less than 12 million.
