Chapter 534: EA wants to hold a CPL fight tournament at the same time
Live in a four-person standard dormitory, three meals are free, a monthly salary of 1500 during the probation period, 8 hours of training a day, 1 day off a week, pay social security in Shanghai after becoming a regular, you can have all the benefits of Longteng Company, and the salary will be greatly increased.
It was impossible for Ye Fan to refuse such favorable conditions, and he soon signed a contract and officially became a member of the Longteng e-sports club ChinaLong, forming the first professional e-sports club in China to receive a salary.
After Yang Yun's meticulous assessment, the eight people were divided into four teams to focus on different games.
"Pro Evolution Soccer 96" is one person, "NBAGame96" is one person, "Special Forces" is three people, and "Saloman Snake: Red Alert" is three people, these are all official competitive events of WCG, with them as the backbone first, and there is still more than half a year to re-recruit new people from the outside world to join.
In addition, Need for Speed and The King of Fighters 96 were added to the tournament as show-based competitions, and of course, there may be other great games added before the official start of WCG next year.
These rules are all formulated by themselves, from beginning to end there is no one to guide them, every link is groping, Yang Yun's request directly borrowed the phrase "crossing the river by feeling the stones", so that Wang Zhe and Lin Zhihong and their team should not be afraid of making mistakes, and they can try any good ideas.
This is a professional competitive industry that has never appeared before, there is no shortcut to take, no predecessors can follow suit, when Lin Zhihong frowned and didn't know how to train these team members, Yang Yun threw over a plan.
"It's ......"
Lin Zhihong flipped through it, and there was only one big frame in the book. Categorized by game, down to the details. All of them are a few sentences of introduction, and he is embarrassed: "Mr. Yang." That's too easy, right? How do I think you just have to say one word to practice! 'That's it?' ”
Yang Yun smiled and said, "Isn't it just a practice of calligraphy?" I only put forward ideas, and you dig deep and refine. For example, in football and basketball, there is really no skill to speak of, you just need to find them to be sparring partners from all over the world, let them study sports tactics, or find loopholes and blind spots in the rules and procedures of the game. In fact, if you play a lot, you know the routines, so you will become a top master. ”
Lin Zhihong's face was a little feverish, and he snorted: "Mr. Yang." Both of these games are made by ourselves, so let's look for our own bugs and blind spots to win the game, is that really good? ”
"I'm just giving an example, and if there is a bug like this, I'll patch it before next year's game! In the first WCG, we can't give people a grip, we must put an end to any unfairness, and everything speaks with the strength of the game! ”
“……”
Lin Zhihong gave a thumbs up and continued to look down, and he flipped to the back. Seeing that "Special Forces" seems to have more requirements, there are four or five suggestions.
"Can you play whack-a-mole above the 15th level in a week?"
The first is such a training requirement, Lin Zhihong thinks that this is not too difficult for a strong person, and the 15th level is a 16*16 playground. There are 256 gopher holes, and the gopher head is only about 1CM*1CM in size, which can be located and clicked only by moving the scroll wheel and mouse. How difficult must that be?
"It's not difficult, the screen is fixed. The mouse scroll area is so large, and we have a highly sensitive mouse. You can do it all with just a gentle swipe. You have to believe them, they are professional, and you think everyone is as bad as you do? Yang Yun quipped, Lin Zhihong blushed, he only played the sixth level at the highest, which is the level of ordinary people.
Looking at the second article, Yang Yun asked the programmer to deliberately make a 3D version of the whack-a-mole game, that is, to use the game engine of "Special Forces" to make a shooting training game for rescuing hostages.
"Mr. Yang, I know that the police cymbal units in many countries will have shooting projects to rescue hostages, but they are in a special training room with real guns, and we only need to sit in front of the computer and use the mouse."
"That's right, the enemy can be shot to death, but if the hostage is hit, it's us who will deduct points, isn't there a mistake in the game? If you shoot at your own people, you will also be wounded, bleed and killed! ”
"Then why don't you look for those quick reflexes from the military and police circles to form a club? Or look for those veteran professional soldiers, who have actual combat shooting experience, will they have a big advantage in the game? ”
"Zhihong, you think too much, actual combat training and game training are two different things. However, if it does well in the future, the military and police can also use the game for daily shooting training. ”
Yang Yun knows in his heart that the cost of real training is high, virtual training can be a good assistance, and it is not uncommon to develop police shooting games in the future, and when it reaches the level of virtual reality, it can be carried out without leaving home to rescue hostages.
He asked to redesign a set of hostage shooting training demos in the game, so that players can quickly get familiar with the game operation, run while staying vigilant in the game, shoot enemies from all directions at any time, and train the fast movement speed and accuracy of the mouse in a 3D environment.
"This test game is almost done, and there is a ready-made template in the European branch, which is actually to add highly intelligent AI robots. Professional players must have at least 90 AI-Level data! Yang Yun explained casually, making Lin Zhihong smack.
"This is 90, Mr. Yang, why don't I even play to 40 when I play......"
"So you can't be a pro! What is 90? I estimate that it won't be long before there will be individual scores that remain around 95, and those 5-man teams will only be considered a good professional team if they have a rating of 90. ”
Look at it again, Lin Zhihong still has to find a master sparring partner in the whole world, of course, it is an online confrontation, Longteng's network server is very stable, the game has just been released, several fixed IP servers are already overcrowded, and there are still a lot of players in the world who have the conditions to connect to the Internet.
In addition, all the team members must be replenished within eight months, and a complete team must be formed for each game project.
The image spokesperson of the game is also about to start, the game baby, the beautiful game host, this is another major event for the Lin Zhihong brothers and sisters in addition to the training camp.
"I can't stop at all! I'm going to get busy again......" Lin Zhihong put away the book and sighed, finding that he seemed to have been fooled.
What beauties, what treasures, what spokespersons, all of them are deceitful, Yang Yun obviously drew a tempting pie, he can only look at it, he can't eat it at all, and he works as hard as he can......
……
……
The one-man show performed by the individual is not exciting, and when the dragon is in full swing, there are also people in North America who plan to launch a big counterattack.
Robert, the president of EA, summoned the heads of relevant enterprises, and personally picked up the VIPs from the airport one by one and sent them to a five-star hotel to rest.
"Welcome to President Nakata!" Namco Nakata arrived as scheduled.
"Hey John, you arrived just in time!" John the CEO of IDSoftware shakes hands with Robert.
"Wow! Mr. Muñoz, President Ken Kutaragi, you are on the same plane? Sony's Ken Kutaragi was also present in person, which is enough to show that Sony attaches great importance to it.
And Muñoz, a friend of Robert's media world, was also invited, mainly because of one of his ideas – the CPL, a professional esports league.
Robert brought these people together, definitely not randomly.
When Ken Kutaragi and Hirono Nakata appeared in front of everyone, everyone knew that the Sony camp had temporarily joined forces with EA.
John and Terry Blair walked into the conference room laughing and laughing, which meant that the powerful IDSoftware and Westwood Studios had a close relationship and were planning to do something together.
After Robert introduces Muñoz to everyone, the mystery is slowly revealed.
"Longteng Entertainment Game Company is about to launch WCG next summer, which is good news for the game industry, after all, it can attract more ordinary people to pay attention to games and like the competition in games. But for us, it's quite passive, there are no games in the WCG project, and they are going to abandon us all! ”
Robert was indignant, he slammed the table lightly, and said heavily: "Real-time strategy, first-person shooter, sports confrontation, casual competition, no matter what game, they only look for the games of the Dragon series, and all the games of our family have been eliminated!" I invited everyone to come this time, just in the hope that we can discuss together and join forces to fight against Longteng Company, otherwise we will definitely be broken by him one by one! ”
Although everyone is prepared in their hearts, this matter is not trivial, and it is not something that can be discussed by pounding the table and moving their mouths.
Kutaragi Ken was the one with the highest status, he crossed his hands, leaned on the table, and said quietly: "President Robert, you don't need to reiterate the domineering and hateful nature of Longteng Company, I believe that no one here will like them, please tell me your plan directly." ”
Many people seconded the proposal, but Robert could only feel some pity in his heart and said: "In order to counter the influence of the WCG, I invited Mr. Muñoz, the founder of the CPL League, who will use the media to expand and globalize the CPL tournament to compete with the WCG Division. So, I hope you can license us Quake 1 and Ridge Racer 2, plus our own EA's Command & Conquer 1 and FIFA96 and NBALive96, and we'll be able to play against WCG! (To be continued......)
