Chapter 363 OLD SCHOOL

As for the death of Sega?

When he thought of this, Kudo Yoshi sneered twice. This was not a good choice. It didn't matter to him, but the problems facing Masaya Nakamura were still the same.

Masaya Nakamura had no way to put down his face and go to Mars entertainment. Could it be that he had the face to leave Sega?

Don’t forget that when he was competing for the president of the Electronic Game Industry Association, he had many quarreled with Nakayama Shinho. In order to obtain this position, he completely offended Nakayama Shinho. Now he asked him to go to Nakayama Shinho's company - the president of the association to go to the vice president's company to hug his thighs. How could Nakamura Masaya, a person who was desperate to be honest?

Before he knew it, Kudo Yuji thought a lot. When he kept thinking about Sega, he didn't think of any reason. At least from the companies that Masaya Nakamura just mentioned, he didn't find any suitable one except the optional one...

Thinking of this, Kudo Yoshi's face suddenly changed, and he thought of something recently.

Then, he looked at Masaya Nakamura with his straight eyes, and Masaya Nakamura was still smiling and watching him without any change.

Somewhat was certain, Kudo asked in a suspicious tone: "Have you reached an agreement with Sony?" Kudo asked a little angry. When they left Nintendo's development camp with Masaya Nakamura, they had reached an offensive and defensive alliance in private. If not, why would he have left PC-e and Japan Electric so procrastinated in matters like this.

For him, Hudson is not a bad choice whether he is going to Mars Entertainment or Sega.

"Of course not."

Hearing Kudo Yuji's questioning, Masaya Nakamura certainly would not admit it. He did not agree to Sony's request, but it was true that he had seen Sony privately. After saying the denied sentence, Masaya Nakamura was silent for a few seconds. It seemed that he was organizing the language before speaking.

"I did not agree to Sony's request, and I didn't even see them. It's just that I let one of my subordinates contact Sony's people..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kudo Yoshi's face changed again, and the expression in his eyes became more and more suspicious.

Seeing this scene, Masaya Nakamura was also a little impatient and said angrily: "Why don't you believe me so much? Do you think I will violate our offensive and defensive alliance? It was a few hours before that, I just met someone from Sony and didn't talk about specific things. I just asked me that I didn't mean to meet. If so, then tomorrow, after I got this news, I will contact you immediately. Do you understand? Kudo!"

Hearing Nakamura Masaya's explanation, Kudo's face eased slightly.

"Sony? Are they really reliable?"

Kudo Yoji's tone has a strong sense of disbelief, and it's not their fault. They have trusted the top 500 companies before. However, Japan Electric, which is also among the top 500, does not deserve their trust. Sony has almost zero experience in the current electronic game industry. He has been bitten by a snake once, so naturally he can't want to be bitten by a snake a second time.

Moreover, Hudson is unlikely to be bitten a second time now.

Facing Kudo Yuji's question, Masaya Nakamura was also hard to answer. He met Kudo Yuji tonight, not to persuade him to join Sony's third party. Because he had not confirmed his idea of ​​joining Sony's third party. Tonight, he just wanted to find the other party to discuss how to deal with the other party when he officially meets Sony's people tomorrow.

Is it agree or disagree.

After Masaya Nakamura made the truth, Kudo Yoshi became silent. To be honest, he personally was not optimistic about Sony, especially the console problems between them and Nintendo were not solved. Now he wanted to enter the game industry, so he was not reliable no matter how he looked at it.

"Are you worried about the hosting problem?"

Masaya Nakamura asked, and when he saw Kudo Yoshi nodding, he spoke directly.

"Tonight, Sony people told me that we don't need to worry about this. They have reached an agreement with Nintendo in private and the console will not be a problem."

"That's how it is."

After pondering again, Kudo Yoshi still couldn't make up his mind. Although he directly broke the alliance, he was cursed at most, but he didn't want to join Mars Entertainment from the bottom of his heart. The reason was that Hudson was a very conservative and traditional game development company. Many people in the company resist Mars Entertainment from the United States.

When Sega helped Masaya Nakamura to get the position of president, she offended Nakayama Shirouzu. Although Nakayama might not care about this, they now almost refuse to come to third-party development companies, but they may not be sure that they will settle the old accounts after Sega grows.

It is a good idea to go to Sony, but the premise is that Sony can succeed. They are the heroes of the Dragon. But they have already been to the Dragon once before. The ending is not ideal - and how is Sony better than Japan Electric?

It is officially because of the lessons of the past, so it is difficult for Kudo Koji to make a decision.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, the two still did not discuss a result. Masaya Nakamura didn't want to discuss it without results. So he drank all the wine in front of him and said resolutely: "Let's do this, there will be no result if we continue to discuss this. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow you will meet the Sony people with me, and listen to what they say. If they want to win over us, they can't just rely on empty words."

"That's all." Kudo Yoshi sighed and said this.

Sony thought they had done secrets about Namco and Hudson, but this kind of thing was spread the most quickly in the industry. Needless to say, even Jester, who was across the Pacific Ocean, knew about it, let alone those Japanese, whether it was Yamauchi or Nakayama Hayao, who also got the news at the first time.

Hiroshi Yamauchi was naturally furious, but he had no choice but to do so unless he was willing to look for Masaya Nakamura, but for Hiroshi Yamauchi, Nintendo was not in a position where he could survive by being completely shameless.

What about Nakayama Hayao? It is impossible for him to not be jealous of Namco and Hudson. His relationship with Masaya Nakamura was not good, but although his relationship with Masaya Nakamura was a bit stiff because of Masaya Nakamura back then, he also had someone contact Hudson. However, Hudson didn't even give him a chance to meet him, and even responded very toughly. If he wanted to talk to them, he had to talk to Nakong, otherwise he would not have a talk.

From this point of view, Nakayama Shizuo knew that there must be some agreement between the two to advance and retreat to restrict both parties.

But if he asked him to talk to Namco to talk about this matter, hehe, Nakayama Shizuo was also embarrassed and did what he did, so he was helpless about Sony's recruitment of both.

Jester himself had this plan before, but after thinking about it, it was basically impossible to succeed, he broke up the idea. Namco and Hudson are very good, but he is not alone. The third-party development alliance of Mars Entertainment is now strong enough, and there is no need to take the initiative to win over anyone.

What he is busy with now is Sid Mel's "Civilization". As for the new FPS game, even if he wants to do it, he has no way to do it before John Carmack's 3D engine is perfect. Moreover, the main person in charge of the second FPS game is not himself, but Carmack, which he had discussed with Carmack before.

And Jester also trusts Carmack very much. The founder of the ‘old-school’ shooting game has talent and talent that others can imagine for this type of game. Of course, old-school is a player more than 20 years later. He calls a shooting game with a similar style when the game was just born.

old-school means conservative.

Conservative, but not outdated. There is no saying that the game is outdated and outdated. It is only fun or not. Just like the new players who can play Mario, fire patterns and PM in a simulator more than 20 years later, they can play Mario, fire patterns, and PM in the first generation. Fun games are fun.

Even the old school shooting game is far from outdated in the future.

Needless to mention the benchmark of this type of game later, the "Haven" that is the masterpiece of Microsoft's xbox, the representative work of this conservative shooting game, is said to be a strong Carmack style, or Thor's bloodline "Legion Fortress 2" is the representative of this type of old-school shooting game.

When Jester was playing "League Fortress 2", someone once asked this, saying why this game cannot find 1 but only 2?

In fact, many people don’t know that the game “League Fortress” is very similar to Dota. Their first work, “League Fortress 1”, is just a mod in “Thor Hammer”, and the later “League Fortress 2” is an independent game.

This is why people always say that this is a game with a very strong Thor bloodline.

In addition to the certain inheritance relationship between them, they are also the same as the old school.

Not to mention these for now.

Jester knew that the sales of "Civilization" would not be too high, but he still wanted to do his best to promote the game because he knew how great it would be.
