Chapter 455: Is Sega going to make online games?

Of course, Jester also expressed regret for the puffer fish feast where power is coming.

Matsumoto smiled indifferently, saying that if he had a chance in the future, he would definitely let Jester taste the benefits of cooking puffer fish.

"Where is there any statement that Sega's latest news is that their network is online?"

Jester asked in the car that was rushing back, and the employee who came to report the news to him in a deep voice. The employee frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, our staff inside Sega just said that during their senior meeting, Yu Suzuki made this point and gave a very passionate speech. The senior executives of Sega, especially Shirooshi Nakayama, should have been moved, but what did Yu Suzuki say at the meeting? Because our staff level is not enough, they did not hear it."

Such a method of installing spies in his rival companies is not only Jester, but even Nintendo, which has long since withdrawn from the console market, has first installed each other or sold intelligence personnel.

Once your opponent has any information worth paying attention to or extremely valuable, then these installed commercial spies will reveal it to you.

Of course, only the top leaders of each company can know that it is known, so if it is not for some special situation, basically the most precious news will not be leaked.

"Why."

After hearing the employee's negative answer, Jester couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Claudia who had been sitting quietly beside him, with a strong apology on his face: "Claudia, I'm sorry, I said I'll only rest with you in the past two months. I didn't expect that in just a few days, I'll break my promise. But this is not a very important thing, just..."

Unexpectedly, before Jester finished speaking, Claudia shook her head with a smile on her face and interrupted Jester's words.

"Jess, what I like is your aspect. Your focus and seriousness in work. If you abandon your career for me, this is not the Jace I like."

"Well……"

Hearing Claudia's words, Jester was still moved by others. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat only surging, but he didn't say a word, but just made a little humming sound.

Finally, Jester just said three words: "Thank you."

Claudia still smiled and reached out to hold it in Jester's hand. Although she didn't say a word, Jester already knew her feelings very clearly.

If you get a wife like this, what else can you ask for?

After Jester was silent for a few seconds, he spoke again: "In my opinion, if Sega's news is true, then I really admire Yu Suzuki. He did see a very important thing, that is the Internet."

"network?"

After hearing this, Tamahiko Yoshiro, who was sitting in the co-pilot of the car, asked in confusion.

He doesn't seem to know why Jester values ​​the Internet so much.

He knew about the Internet or the World Wide Web. This is a new term that has only been born for many years. It is extended from a local area network. If the local area network connects computers in a certain area through cables or optical cables and forms a communication environment that can be connected to each other, then the Internet will expand the scope of this local area network to the entire earth.

Of course, there are not many countries that can complete the assumption of national-level network channels. Even the United States has just completed the establishment of east-west network lines.

As for the assumption of submarine cables in the trans-Pacific and even transatlantic oceans, it is not known when it will be completed.

Jester seemed to see Tamahiro's question, and he smiled and said, "I think it might be through satellites. If Sega rents a satellite, it will be difficult to communicate with this kind of game on a global scale, but if it is only limited to Japan, it will not be too difficult."

As he said that, Jester seemed to remember something. He shook his head and denied what he had said before.

"But it won't be too easy. Most importantly, the cost of this kind of communication is too high, and there may be a lack of sufficient supporters... But this is still the direction of the game development in the future."

"What kind of Internet do you value this?"

Although Jester said it all, because Jester might have said something a little confused, Tamahiko Yoshiro did not understand Jester's meaning. Of course, even if he understood it, he would not be as good as Jester who had seen the future game pattern, and had such an understanding of the Internet and the influence of electronic games.

"Yes, Yuxiu, do you know why "Thunder Hammer" is so successful?"

Jester did not say it directly, but smiled and asked Yuxiu Yoshiro a question that seemed irrelevant. After hearing Jaster's question, Yuxiu Yoshiro was surprised without any surprise.

Then, he thought for a few seconds, frowned and said tentatively: "First of all, this is your game, your reputation has enough influence on this game. Secondly, the gameplay of this first-person shooting game is more subtle and attractive than the previous platform shooting. Finally, this is a 3D game, the first 3D game that can be played at home, which is crucial."

"Um."

Waiting for Yuxiu Yoshiro to finish speaking, Jester nodded without objection, and nodded in his mouth, not telling whether he agreed or opposed it.

"Is there anything wrong with what I'm talking about?"

This made Yuxiu Yoshiro very surprised. He knew Jester very well. Whenever Jester looked like this, he said that although his answer was right, he did not really talk about Jester's heart.

"No, what you said is right, just a little bit..."

Jester smiled, his tone slowed down: "It's just that you said at the end, I don't agree with the most important reasons - it seems a bit inaccurate. I mean, my point is that the reason why the game "Thor Hammer" is so successful is not just what you said."

"In fact, in my opinion, if there is no "Thor Arena", then the attractiveness and playability of "Thor Hammer" to players will be reduced by at least 90%. I had mentioned the issue of "Thor Hammer" in an internal discussion meeting. It may be because you are in Japan all year round, so your understanding of this game is somewhat different from that of the United States."

Jester said, and Tamahiro nodded in a daze.

"What you are talking about is the core of this game? The most important thing?" Although Yuhi Yoshiro said this, most Japanese players, except those who like to play fighting games, seem not so enthusiastic about confrontation. The biggest interest of these Japanese players is to explore the strategy of a game by themselves, or friends who are familiar with them, such as the method of completing the game without shooting, the fastest way to pass the level, or the method of hitting the score, etc.

American players are particularly enthusiastic about confrontation with different players.

"Yes, it's a confrontation, so I proposed the term esports when I released "Thor Hammer", and "Thor Arena" was designed based on the ideas of esports."

After Jester finished speaking, he reached out and knocked his finger on his thigh a few times, and then continued: "I don't have specific information here. Some of the survey information is at the headquarters in the United States, but I remember some data. I have consulted a special investigation agency to do this. Currently, the most common thing that American players who play "Thor Hammer" is not the plot of "Thor Hammer", but "Thor Arena" - that is, in the eyes of almost all players, "Thor Arena", a mod-like thing, is much more fun than the original version of the game."

"This is a change in the way of playing, the confrontation between people brings."

As he said that, Jester's eyes flashed, and a playful smile appeared on his face again.

"Yuxiu, do you still remember the game called "Age of Empire" that I mainly promoted on Carnival? It's the real-time strategy game."

"certainly."

Tamahiro Yoshiro is very clear about this game. You must know that according to the practice of Mars Entertainment, when a game is officially tested, an employee test must be conducted internally. The scope of this test is not only in the United States, but also in European or Japanese branches. Of course, the games are locked on the company's fixed hard drive. The company's employees can only play in the company and cannot be brought out of the company.

When the internal test of "Age of Empires" was tested, even in Japanese branches, the game became popular within three days. Almost every time I rested, in the lounge specially marked by the company, almost all the PCs were running. The confrontation brought by this game made the winning players feel an unspeakable sense of accomplishment.

Even himself became a fan of this game at that time.

Thinking of this, Yuhisukyoshiro suddenly realized something, and seemed to know what Jester wanted to say.
Chapter completed!
