"Call of Duty!"

When he heard the name Call of Duty, Chen Jiayi was surprised. Unexpectedly, this extremely classic click-and-shoot game in later generations actually came to the China Game Exhibition. However, it seems that they are not here for the game show. Now, their game is not finished yet, and it is only partially developed. Moreover, as soon as Chen Jia came to them just now, they did not show the same enthusiasm as other game manufacturers.

Seemingly, they are looking for someone.

"You're a good game, I don't know when it's going to be released?"

Chen Jiayi took a general look at the video and some specific gameplay.

In fact, first-person shooter games have been very popular in later generations. Even after the appearance of Counter-Strike, it still can't resist the enthusiasm of these players. The reason for this is that Counter-Strike is single in terms of gameplay after all, but the competitive surname is relatively strong. However, such as making a command summon, a half-life. He has a playable surname on the one hand, and a competitive surname on the other.

Perhaps, you will say, the game surname of Counter-Strike is also good and more fun.

However, for those amateur gamers, I'm afraid that they will want to vomit after playing "Counter-Strike" for a long time. Of course, this spit is not to say that the game is bad. Because, for a lot of amateurs. They are not very accustomed to this single competitive surname game, and it will be exciting to play at first, but after playing for a long time. will slowly become uncomfortable, coupled with the continuous shaking of the first-person perspective, and gradually produce a feeling of dizziness and vomiting.

In this way, games like Call of Duty and Half-Life can make up for Counter-Strike's lack of game caste. Because he has added a lot of gameplay while competing for his surname. In particular, Call of Duty, a first-person shooter game based on World War II, seems to have returned to the battlefield of World War II after entering the game.

The graphics, character NPCs, and war scenes in the game are all similar to real wars. Moreover, this game is also great in terms of competitive surname. Among them, the Call of Duty series has always inherited the philosophy of their game - there are no lone heroes in war.

Yes, in the real battlefield, the power of one person is very small.

Only by working as a team and giving full play to collective strength can we win this war. Therefore, in the game, the cooperation of the team is more important. The entire Call of Duty series of games not only brings players a visual impact, but also a variety of rich gameplay, and even the competitive surname is also very good. When it was launched, it was loved by many players. Since then, the Call of Duty series of games has been developed as a series of games.

It's 2002 and, apparently, Call of Duty hasn't been developed. Even if they come to the China Game Show, all they will put out is game videos and promotional posters.

"Oh yes, I'm glad you enjoyed the game. However, we have not yet set the launch time. ”

One of the staff members at the exhibition area was also very happy to see that the player enjoyed their game. It's just that after saying that, the first day of the game exhibition area is coming to an end, but they still haven't waited for the investors who appreciate their games to show up.

The purpose of the Call of Duty Games team's visit to China this time is to find Chinese investors.

Because, now they have a problem with development, that is, there is no funding.

"That's a shame."

When it was rumored in a previous life, when the Call of Duty series was launched, it was also full of twists and turns. Now, it turned out to be so.

“why？”

In the face of these European and American people, Chen Jia can ask them questions generously. In this regard, it is much easier to deal with than some domestic game manufacturers. Of course, Chen Jiayi is not saying that the domestic one is bad. It's just that, it seems, people in Europe and the United States are more direct. Sometimes, it's easier to talk.

"I'm sorry to tell you we're in some trouble."

One of the blonde women smiled at Chen Jia, it seemed that they were not in trouble.

"I see."

For the game development team, if it is troublesome, I am afraid there is no technical difficulty. If they had, they wouldn't form a game group, but would have worked in a lab to solve technical difficulties. Since there are no technical difficulties, there is only one reason, and that is the lack of funds.

You know, to develop a game, he needs a lot of money. Although, this money may not be as good as the Internet. However, if no one else invests, it is basically a huge amount of money for these technicians. Therefore, there are many talented programmers in later generations, and it stands to reason that they can become a big man. However, many people have continued to develop games for others.

Because, it is his instinct to develop games. However, for the game to continue to be developed, it is a commercial event.

For a lot of programmers, they don't have this kind of business activity.

"I don't know if you know, Tang Dynasty Company has a venture capital company called Tang Dynasty Venture Capital. Your game is so good, I think Tang Dynasty Ventures will be very interested. ”

"yes, that's great."

When a few people heard Chen Jiayi talk about venture capital in the Tang Dynasty, they suddenly ignited hope again.

Speaking of which, this Call of Duty game team has been developing well before. In terms of funding, there is no problem. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had the money to study for so long. It's just that since the launch of Counter-Strike, a lot of first-person shooter games have not been favored by others. Even the boss who invested in it before, due to the impact of the situation, interrupted the investment and withdrew from the game group.

When the Call of Duty team heard the news, it almost disbanded. Luckily, they're all a group of game-loving programmers. How can you be like those businessmen, who say abandon and abandon. So, they got back on their feet. While continuing to develop the game, I was looking for investment from others. It's just that when others hear about first-person shooters. They shook their heads and said they weren't interested. If you're developing a strategic competitive game, maybe, I'll take a look.

In desperation, the members of the game team learned that the second China Game Exhibition was opened. It is said that China has developed rapidly in the past two years. Whether it's the economy or the Internet, even if it's a game, his speed is illegal and fast. Moreover, China's private sector funding is very strong. If their game is favored by Chinese investors, they may be able to continue to develop it. So, they discussed it and pointed out that the last chance was China.

Unexpectedly, after coming to the China Game Show, they were subjected to the same experience in their home country. Not only did no investors come, but even ordinary players showed no interest after seeing it. When Chen Jiayi talked about Tang Dynasty venture capital, they were a little moved. Of course, Tang Dynasty venture capital they may not know. However, the Tang Dynasty company, they are understood.

This is a rookie in the gaming industry, not only is it strong, but even the money is good. Their Tang Dynasty Ventures may be interested in our game.

"Thank you, my friend."

"You're welcome, this is my business card, you can say, I introduced you here."

As soon as Chen Jia handed them the business card, he left the Call of Duty games exhibition area.

"Hey, David, can you believe that?"

One of them, a tall American, asked a colleague next to him.

"Why not?"

David said helplessly, "Is there anything we can not believe now?" ”

Now there is not much way out for them. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will hold on to it. Although, it seems that this lad is a bit bragging, however, they have no choice.

…… Leaving the Call of Duty exhibition area, Chen Jiayi looked at the other game exhibition areas.

The reason why he wanted to send out his business card just now was completely because Chen Jiayi saw the limited surname of "Counter-Strike".

Admittedly, the emergence of Counter-Strike has become a fire at home and abroad. However, as time passed, the momentum of entire Internet cafes playing Counter-Strike was gone. Although on the Tang Dynasty competitive platform, the number of online counter-strikes is still quite considerable. However, it is much worse than before.

After playing Counter-Strike for a long time, many players have moved on to other strategy games. After all, they are not Counter-Strike pro players. For Counter-Strike is just a hobby. Two hours a day is enough.

From this, it can be seen that the further Counter-Strike goes, the more he will lose his playable surname. Finally, it is possible that many amateur players will only play occasionally. The only ones left were the pros. Because, this is the trend created by Counter-Strike in product positioning. Later, a South Korean game company saw the limitations of CS Counter-Strike. The playable surname of Counter-Strike has been greatly enhanced, and as a result, there is Crossfire.

Now, what is the line of fire, I'm afraid it is still in the womb, and the Tang Dynasty network has no plans to develop it. Well, at a time when the Counter-Strike market is gradually decreasing. It would be better to develop more other games, like Call of Duty. When players are tired of playing Counter-Strike, it is the favorite of these players. Moreover, it is a favorite of amateur players.

After a whole day of shopping, Chen Jiayi finally finished most of the game exhibition area.

In Chen Jiayi's eyes, the second game exhibition held by Linchuan Municipal Axe is much more mature than the first one. Whether it is in terms of the number of exhibitors or in terms of professionalism, it is much stronger than the first session. Moreover, there have been significant changes in the participating manufacturers. For example, European and American game manufacturers such as Blizzard, Xuele Mountain, Call of Duty, etc., they have appeared at the second China Game Show.

Chen Jiayi believes that with the advancement of China Game Show, it will attract more game manufacturers from all over the world in the future. Perhaps, the China Game Show can also develop into a world surname game booth like E3.

However, Chen Jiayi also summarized the shortcomings of many domestic games in this game exhibition. For example, the domestic game circle is too monotonous. Except for Taiwanese manufacturers, all the game products launched are online games. This kind of atmosphere has even been influenced by Taiwan's Daewoo. This time, entering the game exhibition area, the main products are also online games.

On the other hand, European and American companies, in addition to stand-alone game manufacturers such as Blizzard, even hardware game equipment have also been moved by them. Among them, Microsoft's Xbox series is one of the masterpieces.

I have to say that the domestic game industry is still relatively simple, far less than Europe and the United States. It's not a big game country at all, at most, there are more people playing online games.

It's a pity that not everyone looks at the 2nd China Game Show so objectively. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
