WARNING: This thread is first come, first serve

this isn't the contest, but replying to this thread puts you into a contest... this is simply the profile stage.

In your Company Profile you must:
1. Make up the name of your gaming company
2. Pick one first Party franchise to be made by your company (you can chose it from any first party games from Sony Microsoft or Nintendo)
3. Pick 2 third party games to be exclusive to your company (you can chose from any third party games on any system)

Example Profile:

Company Name: Pretendo
Exclusive 1st party game: Perfect Dark
Exclusive 3rd Party games: Madden Series, Crash Bandicoot series

What's going to happen in the future:

4 companies will randomly chosen to compate in a Console war...

These companies will design a console from the ground up, NO aspects of the console will be left out, but you will have to chose from priced lists provided by me. The console makers will also be responeable for marketing strategys and signing second and third parties.

Every other company will become independent, the console makers can purchase thier services as a second or third party... of course second parities cost a lot more, and as a third party, there will be a lot that goes into you deciding which console to develop for.

Plus, independent companies will have to pay for how many workers they want, and how much time they want to put into developing certain games, AND how they are going to market the games in question.

This compatition will become deep, but remember, the ultimate goal is to make your console win a war... one war win is 1000 dblns in your pocket. But making money as a company is also important, because third parties can come up and make consoles of there own in the future, and the less loan money you have to get, the better your chances to financially sucseed.

I will release ALL of the info on the competition in a few days.

Moderators and all Members may compete (even though Moderators won't get anything be making dblns)

So make your profiles fast before all the great games are taken.

(remember, having controll over a genre of games nobody picks will make you money in the end, and as the wars progress, how you market and develop a game will be more important than the name of the series, but I still suggest you steal the big franchises first :D)

NO... both companies are second party, part owned by nintendo, a third party is a company that makes games for the consoles of their choice, or whichever throws the most money their way an example of a third party is Akkliam or Ubi Soft.

This sounds good... let's have a crack at it, shall we?

Company : Overtime Interactive
1st Party Franchise : Mario Sports (Tennis, etc.)
3rd Party Franchise : Tetris, Megaman

That's right, we are gonna win this thing. Isn't that right Shigeru Miyamoto?

Shigeru: Herro! Ahh yes yes sir, you are a rearry tricky mister!

That's what I thought. Even Shiggy see's the possibilities.

Shigeru: Ahh yes yes, controrrer oriented to my games onry! Make it useress for fighting game! Yes Yes!

....Quiet you.

EDIT: I originally had the 2k2 series, but I saw someone else had it, so I changed it to Tetris and Megaman.

How many more companies do we need Justin?

Xantar
02-25-2002, 09:36 PM
I also don't want to participate (looks like there will be enough contestants anyway). I've just always wanted to do this.

Company: Xanfics Incorporated
Franchises: A Requiem for Hyrule, The Legend of Samus Aran, Perfect Dark: Onryou

I couldn't separate them into first and third party franchises since they're all produced by me. Oh well. I'm probably not going to be considered anyway.

On a more serious note, this sounds like a really interesting contest. Kudos to you, Justin.

Jin

1st Party Game: Starfox franchise
3rd Party Games: Sonic franchise, and Phantasy Star Online franchise

Thank you, this is gonna take a lot of work on my part..

and, in the future, you will be able to make up games, but giving them enough hype to sell will be hard as hell (at least with the program I'm making)

Indeed they havent, Rare own Donkey Kong now so it is a second party franchise. You git, you nicked Secret Of Mana, I am the RPG factory, I wanted it for later on. The first true competition has arisen.

Look at the topic post, I've have the list there forever :p

-EDIT-

The problem with the contest right now is... well, I alreadt started a compatition wit my friends... one of them made a piece of crap console that is hard to develop for, and had horrible graphics, but it had great marketing, and great games.... and it out sold everything...

but that isn't the problem...

The price Tag on the system was $500!!!!!! and it never dropped!!!!!!

sooo... I'm making a system that seperates the $500, $400, $300, $200, and $100 markets.

So Jin and Generic are using Star Fox (Nintendo + Rareware) and Super Smash Bros. Melee (Nintendo + Hal Laboratories) as 1st Parties. What's up with that? :confused:

03-05-2002, 04:47 PM
There was no choice for 2nd party, so I figured it would be alright to put it as a 1st party game...

GameMaster
03-05-2002, 04:58 PM
Yeah, but I think he wants a first party and there's plenty of those. It can be from any console man.

UncleNoName
