Chapter 129: Blizzard joins forces with Tang Dynasty Network
"With Blizzard's professional production level and the creative planning of our Tang Dynasty Network, I think the next World of Warcraft 3 will set off a miracle of e-sports. Do you agree, Mr. Mack? ”
In fact, when Blizzard released Warcraft 2, it put Warcraft 3 on the R&D agenda. It's just that since the research and development, the planning plan has only added some equipment, races, troops, and the like. Not much has changed in the whole big frame. The whole pattern system is still the same as Warcraft 2. In this way, the strategic confrontation surname, in Warcraft 3, may only be slightly more brilliant than Warcraft 2, but it lacks a soul surname.
It can be said that the appearance of Warcraft heroes is the most soulful creativity in Warcraft 3.
Now, after Mike finished reading the plan given by Zhou Xiaoqiang. The appearance of a hero makes Mike excited.
Don't underestimate just one hero, it is the appearance of the hero, but he has completely changed the pattern of the entire Warcraft 2. The strategic approach of the future, under the model of the hero, has become diverse.
It wasn't until later generations, when the market commented on the heroes of Warcraft 3, that it was the first time that Blizzard of Heroes made "heroes" play such an important role in a real-time strategy game. Since then, Warcraft 3 has also brought real-time strategy games into a new era.
Mike didn't say yes immediately, but passed the plan on to the other R&D members.
After they finished reading, the entire sitting room had already burst into shocking applause. This plan is simply the most detailed, creative, and soulful plan they have ever seen. As long as the content in the planning is made, presumably, a competitive game that is popular in the world will be born at this time. Even, the Warcraft series has the potential to surpass the interstellar series and become the most popular competitive game in the world.
"Why don't we agree?"
In fact, after reading this plan, Michael also considered not cooperating with the Tang Dynasty Network. Because, in Blizzard's tradition, it has always been to read the ability to complete the game. Moreover, if you cooperate with the Tang Dynasty Network this time, it will definitely greatly strengthen the strength of the opponent, isn't this to cultivate competitors for the future.
It's just that if there is no joint development, maybe the Tang Dynasty Network will use this plan to develop itself. Moreover, this plan was planned by the Tang Dynasty Network itself, and some of the specific values, key data, and the balance between the entire system are also best known only to the Tang Dynasty Network. At that time, maybe Tang Dynasty Network may also be the first to develop a Warcraft 3. Of course, even if it is developed, the Tang Dynasty network also has the suspense of plagiarism. However, Blizzard is helpless. Who said that the current network regulations are not perfect. As we all know, the lawsuit between Apple and Microsoft has been going on for ten years, and there has been no result until now. Even if it's plagiarism, how can you do it to the Tang Dynasty network? Moreover, there are a lot of innovations in it, which are not available in Warcraft 2 at all.
In this world, there are too many plagiarized things in the electronic aspect of the Internet. It's hard to tell who's right from wrong, and there's no effective law, and Blizzard knows too much about this kind of thing. Therefore, after reading this plan, Mike exchanged opinions with the R&D members, and finally although he still didn't want the Tang Dynasty Network to participate, he had no choice but to greet him with a smile and cooperate with the Tang Dynasty Network to jointly develop Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne.
The next time, Tang Dynasty Network and Blizzard Entertainment jointly released a news, saying that the two companies have reached a cooperation to jointly develop "Warcraft 3".
Although the two companies only released the news and did not immediately hold a press conference, the news just came out, and the entire Internet game market suddenly became shaken. No one would have thought that Blizzard would jointly develop Warcraft with Tang Dynasty Network.
If today is April 1st, many media will want to ask, is Blizzard trying to entertain everyone?
Still, facts are facts, regardless of other people's surprised expressions.
Many media in Europe and the United States expressed their incomprehension of this cooperation. They believe that Blizzard has a mature R&D team and a long-standing brand effect, so why should it cooperate with Tang Dynasty Network. Although CS Counter-Strike, developed by Tang Dynasty Network, is by far the most popular esports game in the world. However, Tang Dynasty Network had no experience in developing "real-time strategy" games. Could it be that this cooperation is just a deal between Blizzard and Tang Dynasty Network?
Of course, there is a skeptical side, and there are friends who are fully supportive.
In particular, those who love "Counter-Strike" players congratulated Blizzard on their cooperation with Tang Dynasty Network. It reads, "Both companies are world-class gaming companies. If they can work together and develop a game, we will not be disappointed. Seriously, I'm looking forward to it, but I don't know what kind of surprise Warcraft 3 will give us? ”
These players, no matter what professional they are or not.
They only know that the counter-terrorism developed by the Tang Dynasty Network has become popular in the world. From this point, it can be seen that the Tang Dynasty network still has strength. And Blizzard, as an old and well-known game company, its products are selling very well in the world. Especially in the StarCraft series, there are already quite a few professional teams around the world. If the two companies can work together, it will definitely be a blessing for players.
However, the most excited are not the European and American media, nor some players in Europe and the United States, but countless Chinese netizens.
After this news was made public, countless Chinese netizens were excited. You know, Blizzard is a sacrosanct game company in the hearts of many Chinese gamers. In their hearts, the word Blizzard entertainment can only be described as worship. Until later generations, there was even a little bit of over-worship.
But in any case, Blizzard Entertainment is the supreme game company in the hearts of domestic people. Although the Tang Dynasty Network instantly became popular all over the world, if you want to compare the Tang Dynasty Network with Blizzard, maybe, the Tang Dynasty Network is still relatively young, far less than Blizzard. But now, Blizzard is teaming up with Tang Dynasty Network to jointly develop Warcraft 3. It is said that Warcraft 3 is the most important masterpiece for Blizzard in recent times.
Blizzard has joined forces with Tang Dynasty Network at such an important moment of research and development, and I have to say that Tang Dynasty Network is indeed very powerful.
Perhaps, in a few years, Tang Dynasty Network will also become a game company on the same level as Blizzard. At that time, domestic players no longer need to look at Blizzard, we just need to remember the Tang Dynasty network.
More perhaps, Tang Dynasty Network will become a more famous game company than Blizzard? This is not impossible, judging from the current development of the Tang Dynasty network, in the next year, they will see.
Unexpectedly, just a small piece of news has attracted the attention of the media all over the world. To this end, Tang Dynasty Network and Blizzard Entertainment jointly held a press conference in the United States to announce this cooperation. Of course, the purpose of this press conference is not only to publicize, but also to explain to the outside world.
