Chapter 827 News
Shigeru Miyamoto's award was actually expected.
Although the competitiveness of other games is also very high, the obvious "Ocarina of Time" is better than other works.
Therefore, after Jester announced the final result, most of the people on the scene had a look that was indeed the case. Perhaps only those expressions of those who were also nominated candidates would be slightly disappointed.
Hideo Kojima, who was sitting with Shigeru Miyamoto, came back from disappointment. He stood up and shook hands with Shigeru Miyamoto to congratulate him. For Kojima, this "Spian Dragon Spy Shadow" is just the beginning of the series of stories in his mind. The story behind it will be very long. Maybe he will do three or five. He will be nominated for the first game of the year after he starts making the game again. This is already a very successful one for Kojima.
Although it was a pity that he did not win the final award, he did not return empty-handed. After all, the award for the best action/adventure game still fell in his hands.
In addition, Miyamoto's "Over the Ocarina of the Time" is also a game that amazed him. He even felt that if Miyamoto's game was competed with Jester's "Hao Hero" last year, it would not be impossible to win. Due to some functional reasons, many fun places in the development of "Hao Hero" were actually cut off for various reasons.
Because the primary purpose of this game is to shape a world, how to play it is not Jester's primary purpose.
In contrast, "Zelda" is much more playable.
On the platform, when Miyamoto took over the trophy of the best game of the year from Jester, Jester also congratulated him, and then Jester deliberately asked Miyamoto: "As we all know, Miyamoto, you have been resting for a while after the release of "October of Zelda Time". Do you have any new game development plans? I think players must be very concerned and caring about this news."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Jester's question, Shigeru Miyamoto smiled and then turned against Jester's army.
"I don't have any good ideas yet, I just have some immature ideas. Actually, I have some ideas about the game Balotelli, but you want to make a new work of Balotelli, so I dare not compete with you..." Originally, when I talked about this, the entire dialogue process was a relatively normal question and answer, but at this moment, Miyamoto Shigeru suddenly changed his voice.
"...But Boss, after all, it's not like players looking forward to my new game, but rather a question that the people sitting under the stage are more concerned about. I remember you said that you will announce some very important news during the GDC period. And the confidentiality conditions are very high. I haven't found out what you want to say in the company."
Jester was not angry when he heard Shigeru Miyamoto's rebel generals.
He also smiled.
"Because there is no internal news at all, of course you can't find out. I was just talking about this matter inadvertently with several core members of the new development team. I was not going to make it public, but I think it's better to let the players know... In fact, there is nothing too easy to say. The content of the players' guesses before cannot be said wrong, but they can only say half of it..."
Jester said while pondering.
When Miyamoto heard Jester say this, a curious look appeared on his face: "What did others guess before? What did they guess? Did they say you..."
Although Shigeru Miyamoto didn't finish his words, everyone at the scene still guessed what he wanted to say.
That is, because of the content of an interview, Jester was revealed before and wanted to release a news about his career on GDC. Because of this news, many people speculated that Jester would announce that he would retire after this new work of Balotelli, but this news was personally denied by Jester for a while before the development of GDC.
Jester personally admitted that he did have plans to retire, but the new Balotelli game will definitely not be his last one. Moreover, after the end of this new Balotelli game, he had planned all the game projects that he had developed in history, and he had prepared this game for many years in advance.
So, many people are guessing what kind of game it is.
But after all, Jester stopped talking about this matter.
However, at this time, at the award ceremony for the best game of the year, Jester said in front of developers around the world that the previous guess was not completely wrong, and it seemed that it was really indicating something.
"Yes, what I said in the Mars Entertainment player community is true. I call Balotelli's new work "Galaxy" internally, and the name of the game will be called "Super Balotelli Galaxy". The game is still very Balotelli's action level-of-the-art, of course, the gameplay will be different from all the Balotelli series you have played, and even all the games. As for the differences, I can't say it now, I can only tell you when the time comes."
"As for the game after "Super Balotelli Galaxy"... I have conceived this plan in my mind for almost five or six years. It's just a game plan. I've written at least hundreds of thousands of words over the past few years. It can be said that this will be the game I have spent the most effort, so I call it a summary of my entire game development career."
"The meaning of this summary is also to clearly express my attitude towards this game. If nothing big surprise occurs, this will be the last game I plan to plan - as I said before, when all my understanding of electronic games becomes a game, I will not develop games anymore. I think that once this game in my mind comes out, I will retire without any regrets."
"Finally, I want to make a point that this will be a PC game, and "Super Balotelli Galaxy" is a console game. That is to say, the next two games will be the last console game in my game development career and the last game. I have said so much today, and it has been carefully considered. I think it is necessary to tell everyone what I think."
"And there is nothing to hide in these."
After Jester finished speaking, he bowed to the industry colleagues under the stage, and then after being shocked by the news that Jester said, he immediately stood up and gave the warmest cheers of the GDC Awards Gala so far.
After the cheers and applause calmed down, Jester said apologetically to Miyamoto Shigeru next to him: "I feel embarrassed to steal your limelight, but there is a best prize in a while. I bet it must be yours!" As he said, Jester thought about Miyamoto Shigeru and smiled. Miyamoto Shigeru shook his head indifferently.
"It was really a bit unexpected and suddenly, you decided to retire at such a young age..."
"I'm no longer young. In 1984, fourteen years ago, I was nineteen years old. At that time, I was imaginative and energetic. Now I'm 33 years old. When the two planned games are finished, I may be over forty years old..."
After Jester finished speaking, he thanked the audience again. Then he congratulated Miyamoto Shigeru again and left the rostrum.
And he also mentioned another award, which is the lifelong achievement award of GDC.
It will only be awarded to those who have made the most outstanding contributions to the entire video game industry, Jester and Hiroshi Yamauchi have won the highest personal award in the video game industry.
And this time...
With the award presenter, the founder of ea and now the CEO of ea, Tripp Hawkins, the name on the envelope in his hand at the beginning of the year - Miyamoto Shigeru Miyamoto, this GDC annual event came to an end, and the biggest winner was undoubtedly Miyamoto Shigeru himself, but the hottest topic was not.
Speaking of which, Tripp Hawkins is also a legendary figure. In 1982, he left the booming Apple and founded EA. Now EA is the top three game companies in North America. The first is naturally the unquestionable Mars Entertainment. And many people argue about who it is, but it is still recognized by most people.
When leaving, Miyamoto and Jester were naturally the people who were waiting for the interview to be interviewed. Miyamoto Shigeru was fine, but it was not so easy to interview Jester.
However, Jester seemed to be in a really good mood today. He did not let the strong bodyguards around him block the reporters who wanted to interview him. Instead, he waved his hand and asked them all to come over - and dozens of reporters rushed over, surrounding Jester like a hundred birds paying phoenix. They were about to ask.
But Jester took the lead and stopped them.
"Time is limited, so I can't accept interviews from everyone. I can only answer some questions. No one is limited to one question. My total number of questions is ten. I just click on people, and whoever I click on will count."
Just after Jester finished speaking, he casually ordered a relatively young and pretty female reporter.
Of course, the reporters dare not object. What is Jester's status in the gaming industry? People with this status are worthy of their attention when they can interview them.
The female reporter who was spotted by Jace did not expect that she was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was the first to ask Jester, so she became excited and even her tone became a little confused. However, Jacester didn't care much and took the initiative to correct several mistakes of the other party.
"What I want to ask is what everyone wants to know. I don't know if you want to reveal it. You have said before that "Super Balotelli Galaxy" is the same as his previous series. The game type is still a very traditional action pass by players - we understand this very, very much because this is the biggest feature of Balotelli. But I'm a little curious about the game you mentioned after the Balotelli series. All of your previous games can be said to have created a brand new game type. So is your new game also a game type that has never appeared before?"
After the female reporter asked, she looked at Jester with anticipation, hoping that Jester could give an answer.
Of course, the answer is not Jester.
Jester also didn't promise that he would answer all the questions, because at this stage, it is certainly impossible to say too much about his new game.
After this question was asked, Jester frowned first. He was hesitant, but after hesitating for a while, he nodded and said with a smile: "This question is very good. It just happens that I can say and can't talk about this. What I can say is that this is not a new type of game. On the current market, there are at least seven or eight other games, so I can't say too much about the others."
This answer is equivalent to not saying it, but others can only be helpless.
As one question after another, Jester answered some ambiguous words, some of them said nothing about it. Soon, the last question was reached, and one reporter asked it had nothing to do with the game.
But many people are still interested in his questions.
"Mr. Li, thank you for giving me a plan to ask me a question, but I don't plan to ask you about the game. From the previous answers, I have already got almost everything I want to know. As for the others I want to know more, I know you won't answer. Instead of wasting the opportunity to ask these questions, it's better to ask someone you are more likely to answer - you said there are two games in your development plan, so I would like to know, if you have new and great inspiration during this period, will you continue to make the third game? If not, as your fan, I would like to know, what will you do after you finish your game development?"
This question obviously attracted the attention of many people present again.
These questions do have nothing to do with Jester's mysterious game, but these are still things that everyone wants to know very much.
"hehe."
Jester smiled: "It's hard to refuse, because I don't have any particularly good reasons to refuse, but there is no question to answer, but you have two questions. Which one do you want me to answer?"
He first teased the other party, but Jester was obviously joking. He immediately continued, "Talk about your first question first. I said before that the reason I am not playing games is because I think all my game ideas have been expressed. This is the reason why I will retire. If what you said really happens, then I will definitely continue to make the third game."
"The second question is that I actually have other identities. You all know that I am still the chairman of Manchester United. I have bought this team for almost ten years and won many championships. However, I have not had much time to pay attention to my team because of the hard work on game development over the years. Therefore, I am very likely to focus my main energy on this aspect in the future, and of course, there may be something else." (To be continued.)
