Chapter 747 Yamauchi Kazuno's racing competition

After thinking for a long time, Jester suddenly felt that he was thinking too much.:.

Or, he was a little too greedy.

As an irresistible event, the Hanshin earthquake could not be predicted. If you use this to operate Nikkei futures, it would be too unwise.

Although I am a little unwilling to give up, the way to choose still requires a choice. As a capitalist, greed for money is naturally a very important attribute. However, distinguishing when to be greedy and when not to be greedy is a more important attribute than greed for money.

Greed for money is only related to the amount of money, but the choice of choice is directly related to life and death.

After Jester figured this out, he made a decision to give up the plan to make a lot of profits through the Nikkei collapse caused by the Hanshin earthquake.

After that, Jester didn't have much trouble in Japan, it was just to see two development teams.

I had already been to Itagaki's development team. His development team was in Osaka, which is the location of Mars Entertainment Japan. Next, Jester was going to Tokyo, and Yamauchi Ichinomi's development team was here. However, when Jester went there, he just learned about it, that is, John Carmack also arrived in Japan yesterday and was visiting Yamauchi Ichinomi.

It is said that Yamauchi Ichinori took the initiative to contact him after he knew that Carmak was interested in modifying his sports car. Don’t forget that in addition to being a game engine enthusiast, Carmak is also a loyal fan of car engines. He likes everything that can make him run faster.

So, this time when Jester went to Yamanuchi Ichinomi's studio, he could still see Carmack.

Carmack is a person who is easy to "indulge in love with others". If he loses interest in one thing, he will devote himself to other things without hesitation.

Therefore, after Jester knew that Carmak came to Yamauchi Ichinomi's studio in Japan, he was also a little worried. He was afraid that Carmak would lose interest in 3D engine development and game production like he did in his original history, and then turned to the field of rocket research and launch and could not extricate himself. He wasted it in vain, the best ten years of his life.

Jester asked the people from the Mars Entertainment Japanese company, but they didn't know the reason, but some people said that it seemed that Yamauchi Ichinori organized an event with some automobile companies, and it seemed to be a racing competition...

Now Jester knew it.

Although the specific matter is not clear, it is probably not difficult to speculate.

Generally speaking, in order to develop a racing game that he is most satisfied with for Dream Wave 3, fans of Yamauchi are preparing to compete with his own studio insiders. Perhaps because he didn't know where he knew Carmak was also interested in racing, so he also sent his invitation to Carmak.

And Jester can also guess the reason why Carmack is invited.

Generally speaking, Yamauchi Ichinobu might want Carmak to help him solve some technical problems, especially engine development.

In fact, Yamauchi Ichinori's team has a good level of engine development. Racing engines cannot be developed just by wanting to develop. For example, a new company suddenly said that it wants to make a racing game, and has never had experience in similar racing games before.

The most important thing in racing games is the engine.

The engine of a good racing game can give players an unparalleled driving experience. As for other things, they can only be behind the engine in racing games.

The most important thing for the development of racing engines is the accumulation of experience, which is only produced from a racing game and a racing game. When making these games, you constantly enhance your racing engine so that the engine of a racing game can be as perfect as possible. Therefore, racing games are a very strange type of games. Almost all of these games, the best one, is not his first.

Of course, there are also some people like Sega who became popular when Minoro Nagoshi was responsible for "Sleeping in the United States" for the first time, but don't forget that Sega has accumulated a lot of technology in the development of arcade games.

The current team of Ichinori Yamauchi is the same. Although they have never made racing games on home consoles, they all have experience in developing many arcade racing games. They have now accumulated a lot of technology and experience in the engine of racing games.

Maybe Yamauchi Ichinori wanted his racing engine to be better. Maybe he wanted to add some difficult functions to complete in the engine and needed Carmak's help, so he took the initiative to invite Carmak to participate in this internal racing competition in their studio. After Jaster contacted Yamauchi Ichinori and told him that he would go to his studio to inspect, Yamauchi Ichinori was very excited to tell Jaster that it would be best if he brought a sports car himself.

The reason is the same as Jester guessed.

Yamauchi Ichinori was indeed organizing a racing race inside his studio, and the date was very coincidental, just set for tomorrow, that is the day that Jester passed by.

This matter was indeed a bit negligent by Jester himself. Originally, his idea of ​​going to these studios was random, and he could not contact or arrange it in advance. Moreover, the time he arranged was quite nervous, and he had not planned to stay in Japan for a long time. Moreover, there was still a big deal in the United States waiting for him to go back to deal with.

He and Li Fuzhen spent a few days in Hokkaido. For the reason of keeping the secret, he did not notify the branch headquarters in Osaka.

Even the branch thought he had just arrived in Japan the day before yesterday.

Today I just brag about itagaki in his studio for a whole day. I originally planned to brag for a long time, but because I was too devoted when I started, and the ideas of several new games by Itagaki Natsuki were indeed a bit attractive. Jester couldn't help but whisper for a while. By the time I realized it, it was already half past afternoon.

Therefore, I originally planned to go to Tokyo at noon, so I had to give up.

When I arrived in Tokyo, Yamauchi Ichinori came to pick him up and the car he drove was a Ferrari. As for the specific model, Jester was not very clear about it.

When he was in college, he often paid attention to some sports cars, but later on, he didn't have this time. He often paid attention to these things, but judging from the car, it should be a new car, and Jester also knew about Ferrari's position in the sports car industry.

Whether it is now or in the future, Ferrari will always be the number one in the sports car industry. Lamborghini and Maserati are not on the same level as Ferrari, and the difference is in its heritage. For example, the Bugatti Fat Dragon that was blown by later generations or Koenigsegg. Not to mention Ferrari, Rafa, one of the three supercars, is one of the three Ferrari antique car, the unit price of 250gto is as high as 2.2 billion yuan.

It is the most expensive sports car in the world.

Jester's accompanying staff took the official car arranged by Yamauchi Ichinomi, and Jester went directly to Yamauchi Ichinomi's Ferrari, which was also what Yamauchi Ichinomi asked Yamauchi Ichinomi to get on his car, so that he could feel how good a quasi-professional driver was. Jester and Yamauchi Ichinomi did not go to the studio in the city center.

Instead, I came to a suburban racing stadium.

When Jester got out of Yamauchi Ichino's car, his legs were a little floating. If the people next to him were not careful, Jester might have fallen to the ground all at once.

Then, Jester looked at the Ferrari from Yamauchi Ichinomi with some fear and swore that he would never take the other person's car again.

After arriving at the racing stadium, Yamauchi Ichinobu kept complaining to Jester, saying that if Jester hadn't told him to slow down, he would have driven faster. Moreover, he felt a little regretful that Jester did not build a sports car to participate in the competition.

Jester also saw Carmack, wearing a racer's outfit, standing next to a white Ferrari, and he obviously saw Jester. He was waving and greeting Jester.

To be honest, this so-called racing competition is more like a party than a racing competition.

This time, except for Ichinori Yamauchi and Carmak, a few people prepared supercars. Most of the cars used by others were sponsored by Ichinori Yamauchi contacted Mitsubishi and Honda this time. Specifically, they borrowed a few sports cars for temporary use. The competition was not a racing race, but a time trial race. When it came to this race, no one ran three laps, and the best result was the best.

As for the prize, it is not precious, but it is quite special. You can add an npc with the same name and surname as the champion in the future "GT Racing". The identity of this npc is the car god in the game.

When Carmak came here, he also thought that Yamauchi Ichinori's event was good and interesting. In addition, he had just solved several technical problems with the new engine of "Thor Hammer" and was about to have a holiday for himself. Yamauchi Ichinori invited him, so he came. Yamauchi Ichinori had told him before, and he said that he would invite him to participate in this self-entertainment racing competition.

I also want him to help optimize the engine of their racing game, and it is best to deal with several newly added functions, such as the rainwater system.

All these Carmacks agreed.

For Carmack, dealing with some problems that others in the code is difficult to deal with has an inexplicable attraction for him.

"I think a designer who makes racing games must drive a racing car himself and experience it in person on the track. Only those with this kind of experience can create a truly fun racing game." Jester was watching these employees of Yamauchi Ikoni's studio, while driving a sports car sponsored by Mitsubishi, Yamauchi Ikoni came to him at some point and said this.

Jester did not agree with Yamauchi Ichinobu's statement.

After all, he has never had such experience, and he has never had the development of such a highly realistic racing game. On the other hand, Yamauchi Ichinobu is the best racing game designer in the world in the future. The GT racing series he is responsible for, that is, "Sports Car Romantic Travel", is the best racing game in the world. There is even no one. The total sales of the series exceeds 70 million copies, making it a veritable number one player in the same game.

All the vehicles participating in the competition were sports cars provided by Mitsubishi or Honda, and two Yamauchi Ichinomi or Carmak, and several others also brought supercars with better performance. However, based on the principle of fairness, the cars provided by Mitsubishi and Honda will be based on the ones that run out this time.

Of course, after that, the few of them can use their own cars to play a new race.

However, the two of them have not decided whether it is racing or timing. Now, these people agree with a racing race.

Jester had heard Yamauchi Ichinori talk about it before. When recruiting people, his studio had a necessary restriction: it was necessary to be able to drive, and he had to drive very skillfully. Of course, it was also necessary to be interested in driving a racing car.

Because Yamauchi Ichinobu said when recruiting them that before formally developing the game, they must personally set up a car to experience this feeling on the real track.

Carmak had just finished his first lap, but it was not actually the first lap. When he was familiar with the performance of the car, he drove seven or eight laps, but the lap just now was the first lap of formal calculation of time. The results were not ideal, with only one minute and forty seconds, ranking third. However, only eight people, including Carmak, ran before.

But Carmack was not very discouraged. Jester could tell that he was still very excited.

In fact, Jester is now a little worried about whether Carmack will suddenly resign after the development of the current "Thor Hammer" engine and start his other interest journey. After all, for Mars Entertainment, Carmack is a well-deserved number one person in the development of game engines. Others, even the most powerful, will definitely not be compared with Carmack.

Of course, looking at the whole world, Carmack is still unique in terms of 3D engines.

So, Jester suddenly had an idea, should he talk to him about the topic of virtual reality first? If he could be interested in virtual reality, even if he lost his passion for the 3D engine, he could transfer his energy to the virtual reality device.
