Chapter 304: How to design a Warcraft RPG?

Yang Yun's words made Larry's face turn white in an instant, this is Chi Guoguo's threat, with Mercado's public opinion, plus tens of millions of dollars in legal fees, EA will definitely not be able to afford a real lawsuit.

Yang Yun continued to say coldly: "If there is a lawsuit, I will pay EA millions of dollars in so-called project loss fees at most." But EA-Sports' 30% interest in Contra, Larry, don't forget, back then, it was you EA who were worried about losing money and took the initiative to propose a reverse trading treaty. Although you can use the means of the next act to stop me, you can't stop the whole shijie from criticizing EA! ”

Larry was poked in Zuihou's death hole and stood up in shock: "No! You can't do this! ”

Yang Yun also stood up and snorted, "Weishenme can't be like this? Back then, you were worried that EA-Sports' 30% interest in Contra would suffer a loss, and the reverse trading treaty was supplemented, and now EA-Sports' 30% equity has become a de facto zero asset, and I can't propose reverse trading? If you dare to falsely report EA-Sports' total assets and deliberately obstruct reverse trading, then don't blame me for poking it out to the media! ”

Reverse transaction is that in the case of information asymmetry, the two parties to the transaction believe that there may be a huge difference in the value of the traded items between the two sides in a certain period of time in the future, then the two parties to the transaction have the right to exchange back.

At that time, EA did think that the value of Contra was not as high as EA-Sports' 30% interest, so it added a reverse trading treaty with an agreed time of 3 years.

If EA-Sports continues to grow and develop, it is definitely EA that is now proposing reverse trading. And not Yang Yun.

After EA Sports came out, Yang Yun, who was overhead, became the injured party, and he proposed that after performing the contract, in case EA used the next means, he had to set a high price for EA-Sports, so that the two were of equal value, the court would definitely agree, but public opinion would definitely not agree, and peers in the game industry would condemn EA.

Therefore, it is impossible for EA to occupy the copyright of Contra, and Yang Yun has been holding back. It was not until the end of 1993 that the bomb was detonated. It's about maximizing its power.

If EA and Longteng get along peacefully, Yang Yun will calmly and orderly remove these 20 employees and go back to prepare for 1994's "Pro Evolution Soccer", depending on the situation by the way. See how to get Contra back. Everyone parted peacefully and amicably. In the future, each will compete according to his ability.

If EA and Dragon Teng turn against each other, as in the current situation, then of course this bomb will detonate without hesitation. In addition to Contra Douluo, 20 employees must also be recovered, as for whether to stab the media, it depends on how EA performs, as well as Yang Yun's mood.

How did Larry not know about this?

He brought a lawyer over, just to use legal weapons to defend his interests, Contra was worth $30 million back then, and now, $50 million must be available, how can EA, a listed company with interests first, allow reverse trading at will?

But his opponent doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, Yang Yun has no economic pressure at all, no performance pressure, not even public opinion pressure, and it is EA who is under pressure!

So Yang Yun can release cruel words, claiming to spend $100 million to play with EA, and Larry must choose between EA's reputation and $50 million Contra.

The conference room fell silent, no one spoke on either side, and everyone fell into deep thought.

The two former allies have made such a fuss, all kinds of tricks have been used, and all kinds of yang schemes have been put on the table, and they are ready to go to court when they arrive at Zuihou, and they will become endless competitors in the future, which is really embarrassing and sighing.

Old Parker sighed and persuaded: "It's not good for everyone if things get bigger, whether it's reputation or interests, it's both sides who suffer. Old Parker suggested that you better settle it peacefully in private. ”

Yang Yun didn't care: "As long as the EA board agrees to my plan, I can guarantee that this matter will be resolved peacefully." ”

Larry's face is pale, he is the CEO, but he is also constrained by the board of directors, and behind him stands the Wall Street investors who put their interests first!

"I'm sorry, I need to leave for a while......" Larry couldn't take the pressure and staggered out of the office, his lawyer and secretary followed, and the three of them entered a quiet lounge in the middle of nowhere.

"Mr. Yang, can we really get Contra back?" Jiang Shaoyun was a little excited.

Yang Yun didn't know the bottom in his heart, $50 million was not a small amount, and if EA really didn't plan to save face, he couldn't do anything, so he could only scold each other in the media and fight with words.

But the crux of the matter is that after going to court, 20 Chinese employees will be sued by the court, unable to return to their home countries, and are very likely to cause political disputes, which will make him very passive.

Pro Evolution Soccer is a game of Konami, but what kind of virtue has Konami become now? Defeated by Long Teng in the Battle of Heartbeat Memories, Kazuki sold Konami to Long Teng, and then he didn't achieve anything.

Counting on Konami to do Pro Evolution Soccer, then you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey? I still have to let Yang Yun find a way to find someone to do it by himself, these 20 people are the foundation of his "Pro Evolution Soccer"!

The three of them left after a while, and he had to get approval from the board of directors for Yang Yun's request, and he couldn't answer it immediately.

Two days later, EA finally relented, and did what Yang Yun requested, in exchange for Contra, all the employees of Longteng handed over the work, and zuihou followed Yang Yun back to China.

As for the employee named Xue Dewei who was unwilling to leave EA, after learning that EA had suffered a big loss, he knew that he would definitely not die well, so he could only obediently relent, and followed the crowd to get on the plane to the capital, which was unanimously despised by everyone.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, this kind of person is not uncommon, and Yang Yun didn't take it to heart at all.

Back in the capital, Yang Yun handed over these 20 employees to Yan Inoe to do the jishu structure, changed the set of rules learned in EA to the habit of dragon teng, and combined it with Konami's second R&D department to prepare jishu for "Pro Evolution Soccer".

Then, he called Liu Cixing and Zhang Guoqiang over, took out the complete Shijie view introduction document of the war hammer, and said: "Da Liu, Guoqiang, in the next few days, we need to readjust and modify it according to this document, combined with Da Liu's Warcraft Shijie concept. I'll eat and live with you, make it as fast as I can, and then start doing RPGs on SS. ”

Liu Cixing is nothing, if the script is not modified, it is not a good script.

Zhang Guoqiang asked suspiciously: "It turns out that what about the Haode PC side?" ”

Yang Yun laughed: "The PC side is a disguise. Do you guess if I take a shot on the PC side, will they dare to fight? ”

Zhang Guoqiang suddenly realized: "We held high the big sword of Dune 1993, forcing them to dare not fight on the PC, forcing them to release high-effect games on the 3DO platform." When they thought that the starting line of both sides was the same, and they were confident that they would beat us by doing real-time strategy games, they found that we were doing RPG......"

Yang Yun nodded: "Of course, RPG games are much simpler than real-time strategy games, besides, didn't we just finish making fairy swords?" In order not to let others gossip about us, we made a completely different style of RPG game, which is still a fantasy and fantasy genre that focuses on overseas markets. ”

Zhang Guoqiang was excited: "RPG game is good! As long as the plot is designed, the design is simple! ”

Next, it is the retreat of the three of them to practice and modify the shijie view of Warcraft, this is a super huge project, even with the help of Yang Yun, a reborn person, it will take a while!

……

……

If you want to make it an RPG type, but you can't use the old routine of the fairy sword, Yang Yun's first thought is the single-player mode in the Frozen Throne.

The single-player mode is the most important way to understand the entire Warcraft Shijie view, and the first act of the Frozen Throne is the Night Elf Sentinel Battle - Tide of Terror, which includes scenes such as the rise of the Naga, the Tomb of Sargeras, Malfario's Illusion, and the ruins of Dalaran.

In addition, there is the curse of the Terran blood elves, the relics of the undead cursers, and the establishment of the orc Dolot.

Each scene,In fact, it is the main quest of a certain race.,Let the heroes of each race appear.,Each class appears.,Introduce their role.,Let players accept the plot passed by the game little by little.,And immerse yourself in this shijie with the main story.。

Turning the page further, in "Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos", it is the great escape of the orcs, the disaster of the Terran Lordaeron continent, the cursed path of the undead, the invasion of Kalimdor by the orcs, and the eternal end of the night elves.

This single-player game is different from the RPGs of Sword and Final Fantasy, and it should be called a "real-time strategy game with a story", which is a combination of the two genres.

However, Yang Yun has jishu in both types of games, so the difficulty is not big, he just replaced Li Xiaoyao with the hero of various races, and by the way, he added a separate copy of the fairy sword, and plugged in a real-time strategy game.

Now the question arises, first, which part of Yang Yun is going to start with? Did it start with the creation of the Titans, the fall of Sargeras, and the recruitment of the Burning Legion, or did it start with the old gods of Azeroth fighting the Titans, or did it start with the Night Elves fighting the Burning Legion with the dragons and sinking the continent of Calumdor to the bottom of the sea?

The second question is, if you really want to make it a single-player mode, it is a hero, a soldier and a real-time strategy, what will you do in the next version? The next version can also be made into a PC multiplayer battle, so what about the next version? Straight to MMORPG?

That's interesting.,The Warcraft series has been made into a plot game again.,There won't be too much jishu transformation.,There's nothing eye-catching.,In 10 years.,It's just a constant expansion.,Expansion packs.,Out of mods.,Patches.。

Yang Yun hesitated, what should I do?
