Chapter 766 Dreambox3

Mars Entertainment is preparing to officially announce the news about Dream Wave 3 to the public, which may be the biggest news in the industry in that year.:.

This is a day that many people have been waiting for since last year when Jester came out to hold a press conference and announced that their new console would be launched one year later.

As the well-deserved overlord of the entire industry for the previous two console generations and also the leading company in the recovery of the PC game industry, their every move has always been the most attention and attention of the industry and players.

In fact, many players who support 3D games will definitely replace 2D games have been influenced by Mars Entertainment. After all, they are the first game company to develop 3D games on PC and have been very successful. Moreover, they have shown how they will display 3D games in the future. Therefore, compared with the past six months, Sony, which has been giving the 3D game era to the end.

In the eyes of n-multiple players.

Mars Entertainment is the one that is most likely to blow the fatal blow of 3D games to 2D games.

Originally, the Cologne Exhibition was not highly valued. The game companies, whether from Europe, America or Japan, would not put their heavyweight games on this exhibition, and they would not even attend this exhibition. Only those European game companies would spare no effort to support the Cologne Exhibition.

This time, the news about Mars Entertainment was announced very suddenly.

This makes many game companies very embarrassed and depressed, because as Mars Entertainment announced its new console DreamWave 3 announced at the Cologne Exhibition, it means that the Cologne Exhibition will definitely attract the attention of the industry at this stage, and even the attention will be higher than the e3 and the Tokyo Exhibition, but now it is less than two weeks before the start of the Cologne Exhibition.

It is definitely unlikely to ask them to prepare seriously.

Therefore, many game companies made a quick decision and took the initiative to move from some projects prepared by the Tokyo Exhibition in September to the Cologne Exhibition. Although the preparations may not be comprehensive, this is the only way.

In fact, for some European and American manufacturers, the Tokyo Exhibition is like a waste of money to them. It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to abandon it, because the styles that the Japanese game market likes are quite different from the styles of the North American market, and games that can take all of them are rare.

Some European and American manufacturers can sell hundreds of thousands of copies of games in North America. Maybe they can only sell tens of thousands of copies in the Japanese market.

For European and American game companies, even if they move some games to the Cologne Exhibition, the impact on them is not great, but for Japanese game companies, it is different. For them, Japanese local players are their most important player group. Needless to mention the Cologne Exhibition, even the e3 exhibition is not as important as the Tokyo Exhibition.

Of course, this is about those second- and third-tier Japanese workshop-style game companies.

For those who have great pursuits and hope to achieve results in North America, the largest market for real video games, will definitely drop the e3 exhibition first.

In fact, the status of the game exhibition is also determined based on the market size. The reason why e3 can stand out in the major game exhibitions and adopts the industry exhibition that is very unfriendly to players is because it is the largest exhibition in the North American market, which is the world's largest electronic game market.

Just like later generations, why did the Tokyo Exhibition gradually decline? From the previous exhibition where major European and American manufacturers gathered, it has become the exhibition where most of them were small Japanese factories. The biggest willingness is the changes in the Japanese market, especially in the era when Jester was in, the share of the Japanese mobile game market even exceeded the share of the game of the home console.

And the comparison is the Cologne Exhibition.

As the European market grows bigger and bigger, European manufacturers are becoming stronger and stronger, and are also being paid more attention.

As for the domestic cj, hehe, it cannot be called a game exhibition at all.

Even the organizer of the Cologne Exhibition was very surprised by the sudden release of Mars Entertainment, but after the surprise, they were ecstatic because they all knew what this meant.

Since Mars Yile announced that they will release news about Dream Wave 3 at the Cologne Exhibition, all parties and sectors are also desperately exploring relevant information.

However, insiders inside Mars Entertainment are all tight-lipped.

When faced with everyone's inquiries, they just gave simple answers, and we didn't know much. All the news will be announced at the Cologne Exhibition.

Sega and Sony may also pay more attention to this news than other parties, because they know that in this generation, their biggest competitors are not each other, but Mars Entertainment, especially Sony. Now they cannot produce any top-ranking first-party games, so they are suppressed by Sega in terms of console sales.

I almost felt breathless.

Ken Kutaraki himself is under great pressure. Although he has made great progress in the development of 3D games, what he lacks the most now is time.

His studio takes time to develop a great enough game.

But with the entry of Mars Entertainment, the time left for him will be less and less. So, after Mars Entertainment announced that they would announce the relevant information about their new host at the Cologne Exhibition, Ken Kutaraki contacted a Sony first-party studio five times within a day, each time he asked the other party to speed up.

This studio, which was located in Europe and the United States, was not well-known before. It also knew the seriousness of the situation now and promised that it would work overtime to let the game come out before the end of the year.

This is an action-level game similar to Mario, which just puts the scene in three dimensions.

Such games have been released before, but these games have turned the three-dimensional world into two-dimensional games, which really lacks appeal to players. However, this game that Kutaraki Ken this time is definitely not like this, and it has made players extremely disappointed.

The scale of the Cologne Exhibition is not too large.

Because when they were preparing before, they did not prepare in much direction, and the organizing committee even laughed at that time, whether the game companies they were willing to participate in this session would break through a new low.

The reason for saying this is very simple, because there are fewer and fewer game companies coming to participate in the previous few times.

However, this time, since Mars Entertainment announced that they would announce their new hosts at the Cologne Exhibition, two weeks before the exhibition began, the organizing committee will suddenly receive some game companies that they had disdained them no matter how they invited them, and took the initiative to send out the information they wanted to participate in the exhibition. For example, Weizhen, Xueleshan, Global Entertainment, ea, Activision...

"Jest Lee went to Germany in person!"

The next day, a local newspaper in Cologne reported an article, and less than a week before the exhibition began, a photo appeared on the front page of the newspaper.

The protagonist of this photo is Jester Lee, and the photo was taken at Cologne International Airport.

However, this incident did not cause any uproar.

In the eyes of many people, this is also natural. A game company's console is released to the public. As the actual leader of the company and the spiritual leader of the company, it will definitely attend the scene.

However, many game forums are still discussing this. Will Jester Lee host this time the Cologne Exhibition be hosted by himself?

Most people think that Jester will host the meeting himself, but some people say that it is likely not, because the launch conference of Drem 2 will not be hosted by Jester. Jester is more likely to be responsible for the game release work. After all, his job is actually a game designer, not a hardware engineer.

The Mars Entertainment press conference is divided into two sessions.

The first was their host press conference, which was not held during the Cologne Exhibition. It was placed the day before the opening of the Cologne Exhibition.

The time is 7:00 in the afternoon. Before that, Mars Entertainment also prepared a self-service cold dinner for reporters or players who came to attend their press conference.

After drinking and eating, the press conference on DreamWave 3 started in the hotel auditorium in Cologne.

When everyone was watching, everyone was speculating that when the press conference was hosted, under the guidance of the on-site lights, Jester Li appeared on the hosting stage without expectation. He held a microphone in one hand, with his face on his face, and greeted the other hand, while walking towards the center of the hosting stage.

The people at the scene also kept cheering at Jester.

Obviously, everyone was very excited about it.

Following Jester were four strong young men. The four of them carried one corner of a table, and on this table was covered with a dark red velvet. Under the cover of the velvet, the shape of something was raised. It can be clearly seen that there was something under the velvet.

Judging from the slightly flat appearance, it should be the Dream Wave 3, the new host of this generation of Mars Entertainment!

After lifting the table to the center of the hosting table, the four young people left, leaving only Jester standing aside.

Everyone at the scene was also watching him, or something on the table beside him.

However, Jester obviously did not want to leave and uncover the biggest mystery. He picked up the microphone and began to say to the audience: "Thank you for coming here to support us. To be honest, I am very grateful because we have some different strategies on the hosts of this generation, so many people are not optimistic about our performance in this host generation. I don't want to explain too much. What I want to do is very simple, that is, let's go and see it in a few years."

As Jester spoke, the atmosphere on the scene was successfully mobilized.

"Today I want to tell you about our new host. The name is nothing special, but it continues our usual naming principle. DreamWave 3, which is the third generation host of the DC series. We spent a lot of effort in the design of this host. We gave up the original plan and redeveloped it. In fact, it is not just that. Even in terms of appearances that few people will pay attention to, we designed more than a dozen versions, and then we made the final decision."

As he said, Jester lifted the velvet.

I saw a small black box with piano paint placed in the center of the table. The box is rectangular, but it is not a very regular rectangular shape. The top cover and bottom cover are rectangular, and the front is also rectangular, but on both sides, it becomes a parallelogram. From a distance, it looks like it is inclined, turning into a parallelogram rectangular rectangular body.

The box is also a little smaller than the previously announced P2 of Sega Saturn and Sony, and looks even smaller.

“We also use closed-dish storage.”

As Jester said, he pulled the top cover with his hand, and a space for the disc appeared. In the middle of this space, the bald head for reading the disc.

"This is Sony's technology, please rest assured."

While demonstrating, Jester said humorously, whether it is Sony, Sega, or Mars Entertainment, they all use Sony's bald heads. This was originally agreed upon by the two parties when they established the World Electronic Games Association, and Sony did not break the contract. In fact, it doesn't matter even if it breaks the contract. In this world, there are other companies in addition to Sony, who are willing to provide CD format and bald heads.

For example, Philips is eyeing it.

For Sony, the entire game console manufacturer uses its own bald heads, so why don’t they do it?

Even in the eyes of many people within Sony, promoting their CD standards is more important than the success of their gaming department. Therefore, for Sega and Mars Entertainment, the authorized prices and bald purchase prices are even lower than those given by Philips.

As Jester talked for a long time, and combined with the picture of DreamWave 3 on the big screen behind him, the people present also saw it clearly. At first, they didn't care much, but they suddenly realized that it seemed that Jester talked for a long time and never mentioned anything. They also carefully observed the table for a long time. Apart from the beautiful piano-painted square box of DreamWave 3, they did not see what they wanted to see.
