Chapter 757 The second party

Their question about Jester was mainly whether he really took out $200 million to develop a game himself.

After all, this number is too high.

I know that this game may not have any return, but I still invested such huge amounts of money. What kind of spirit is this? Of course, thinking about Jester's identity, it is not impossible for him to do such a thing.

Some people think what Jester said is true, because Jester always strives for excellence in the game. If you want to do it, you must do the best, otherwise it is better not to do it. There is a great possibility that Jester will not be able to reach the level he imagines based on the game he wants to make, compared with the parameters of the new console.

That's why I decided to redevelop the host.

This seems reasonable.

Of course, the reason for disagreement is very simple, that is, this is $200 million, which is not $20 million. The personal property of Forbes announced in the previous year, including all the shares, all the movable and real estate are added up, which is only between 30 and 4 billion US dollars.

However, he invested 200 million in one game.

This is a 20,000 yuan cash R&D fund, not a movable property and real estate. Moreover, during this period, there has never been any situation where Jester sells his own assets.

Also, it is said that he has made a lot of investments abroad.

Many people don’t believe that Jester can spend this money directly for a game.

Of course, they did not doubt that Jester had the ability to give out 200 million US dollars in cash, but they just didn't believe that Jester was just investing so much in a game that was destined to be profitable.

The two sides argued with each other, and no one could convince anyone.

Then they immediately moved into another discussion of the question, which was what Jester answered the reporter's question. When Enix announced that the next generation of DQ main story will only appear on P2, although it was not stated explicitly, it was mentioned very obscurely. They also have a third-party exclusive, which is not only Sony.

American players do not have a deep understanding of DQ. After all, this game is popular in Japan. In Europe and the United States, this game doesn’t like much, and it is far less influential than Final Fantasy in Europe and the United States.

However, there are always a small number of people who can accept this kind of gentle game, and the quality of the works of dq in history is excellent, so once you accept this setting, you will naturally become addicted to dq and have many supporters.

Moreover, some games only need to understand their popularity and influence, and then they can start discussing them.

Basically, netizens concluded that this incident was extremely unfavorable to the promotion of Mars Entertainment's host in Japan. Because DQ's influence in Japan can be said to be unparalleled.

The only one that Mars Entertainment can compete with DQ in the Japanese market is probably the Balotelli series. But stop playing, Dream Wave 3 will be released one year later than P.2.

The gap that has been saved in the Japanese market this year is basically irreversible.

As for what Jester said, they also have a third party that is exclusive, and they should also be Japanese game companies. Japanese game companies have a lot of good relationships with Mars Entertainment. Many small workshop styles that were previously small can develop to their current scale, which is closely related to the support of Mars Entertainment, so these companies are trustworthy of loyalty to Mars Entertainment.

However, because these companies are not big, Mars Entertainment will not force these companies to take the initiative to do exclusives. They also look down on the games of these companies, and they are unlikely to give up the possibility of the entire platform. Therefore, it should not be these small companies.

After thinking about it, they quickly turned their attention to a company.

It was this company that was originally the one that was officially launched in the Japanese market with Mars Entertainment, and was judged from Nintendo's camp to Mars Entertainment's camp.

Capcom.

The more these people discuss, the more they feel that it is possible, because Capcom is indeed the most likely.

I didn't think it was before, but now through some news analysis, we can see that the cooperation between Mars Entertainment and Capcom should not have just begun now. In the past few years, Mars Entertainment sent a group of technicians to Capcom to develop a game under the pretext of technical support.

The news did not attract enough attention at that time.

Because this kind of Mars entertainment is common for some of its partners, but now when I think about it, I find that this game Capcom has not been announced to the public. Someone asked before that Capcom's reply was very simple, this is a game they developed for the future.

What is the future?

There is no doubt that it is the new host.

Of course, this is impossible to be recognized by Mars Entertainment.

Some people are not even worried about the situation that Mars Entertainment will face in the future, especially in the Japanese market.

Although DQ has a huge influence in Japan, there are many excellent third-party manufacturers that have a lot of influence. Mars Entertainment is rich enough. Even if their first-party Japanese studios are not good, they can still spend money to buy some second-party ones.

The second party is a relatively new concept.

As we all know, gamers with a little knowledge of the first and third parties can understand the meaning of it. In fact, as the name suggests, the first party refers to games developed by studios under the console merchants, and will only sell games on the console merchant’s platform. The third party is an independent game studio that has nothing to do with the console merchants. They can choose to sell games on any platform.

Therefore, some people may ask, since there is a first party and a third party, is there a second party?

Of course there are.

Generally speaking, as long as the game is a game distributed by a host merchant agent and only on this host merchant platform, it is a second-party game. But there is a problem here. Since it is not a studio under the host merchant, why do you still have to let the host merchant release it? Anyway, it has nothing to do with the host merchant. Isn’t it enough to publish it yourself? It can still be a full platform, so why can you be a second-party?

There are two situations in this case, one is cheap. For example, later Capcom, he was so cheap that he took the initiative to bring his own dry food as the second party of Nintendo, which was despicable.

There is also a second type, which is the most common second-party situation.

That is, one is a third-party studio, but he collected money from the console dealer and specially developed games for the console dealer.

Because this game is exclusive and the copyright belongs to the console manufacturer, but the developer is a third-party studio. Therefore, in order to distinguish between first-party and third-party games, this situation is called a second-party game.

For example, "Blood Source".
