All-out confrontation with WCG!

Hearing this, everyone changed color, and Robert made a good calculation, which was to make a big league, tie them all to the CPL chariot, and use the collective strength to play with the dragon.

Nishikito's "Command & Conquer 1" will definitely face off against Dragon's "Saloman: Red Alert", and the two best real-time strategy games on the market are them, the two games are similar in terms of operation interface, and the time interval between the two games is less than half a month.

And "Red Alert" is only a pure battle game with a size of less than 20M, and there is no personal campaign plot mode, even if it is simple like this, but it is still hot, which makes Longteng's competitors feel inexplicable, and it is very tragic and heroic to both Shengyu and Shengliang.

IDSoftware's "Quake 1" is bound to snipe "Special Forces", the battle between the two companies for 3D game engines lasted for two years, each with its own advantages, and each other did not obey each other.

First-person shooters are the most tactically confrontational and individual skill games, and I believe that there will be a large number of shooter masters to join the competition, which is also the most important branch of competitive games, and no one dares to underestimate it.

Let's talk about football and basketball, EA and Longteng have played over the years I don't know how many times, and the current situation is that EA's FIFA temporarily lost to Longteng's live, but EA's NBALive and Longteng's NBAGame have just been listed, and they haven't seen the market feedback results, since WCG adopts NBAGame games. Then EA will have to be determined to use NBALive on CPL.

If you don't, how will EA play? Any game is overwhelmed. Will EA be able to develop games happily?

Robert looked at the crowd and felt unusually bitter in his heart. He had to lower his stature, even if he pleaded to convince these people to help him, he had no other choice.

This is a back-to-back battle, the board of directors' trust in him is getting lower and lower, he has failed in turns, and he has made many stupid moves, if it weren't for the hard work accumulated over the years, the board of directors would have fired him a long time ago.

"There is no company in the world that has ever held a global esports tournament, and Longteng has not. Neither do we. Now everyone is standing behind the same starting line, so the following is not a game, but a marketing and publicity speed! Robert deliberately avoided the important and made an artificial inducement to infinitely expand the advantages of forming the CPL league.

"First-class companies do standards, second-rate companies do brands, if we don't seize the initiative in setting the rules of global e-sports competitions, we will be very passive in the future. If WCG achieves EdUHK's influence in the world, those high-level professional teams will be subtly attracted to the Dragon Games. They're automatically rejecting other games, and that's fatal to us, and I'm sure we don't want to see that, right? ”

Robert infinitely exaggerated the possible risks, and he was really in a hurry. As long as he thought of the ending of EA Games being ostracized by WCG, he was faintly afraid in his heart, and it took a long time. EA is likely to be completely squeezed out of the competitive gaming market!

Once there is no competitive competition in the game, then its audience will be reduced by more than half. Such a game can only be called a casual puzzle game, or a story-solving puzzle game. Without the support of competitive games, what qualifications does EA have to compete with Longteng?

This is not alarmist, several presidents and presidents have thought about this situation, they also have their own thoughts in their hearts, Robert's proposal makes them excited, an alliance is not a bad thing, but there are some things that must be said clearly, such as interests.

"That's right, once the masters are playing the Dragon game, as long as we can't attract enough high-level players to participate, we will gradually lose the attention of players, and eventually lose our attractiveness, and our competitive games will gradually be eliminated from the market!" Hirono Nakata nodded in agreement, which resonated with everyone.

But then he asked rhetorically, "But ask yourself, can these games of ours really compete with Dragons?" Everyone is just getting started, CPL and WCG adopt completely different game projects, is it really fighting for publicity and marketing, rather than fighting for game quality? ”

Robert's face was a little unbearable, but he didn't expect the first question to point to the shortcomings he was trying to skip: "President Nakata, it seems that you don't have confidence in "Ridge Racing 2"?" ”

Hirono Nakata sneered: "President Robert, all of you here are in the industry, and it will make people feel ridiculous to say big things." That's right, according to your plan, Ridge Racer 2's competitor is definitely Dakar Rally. In terms of realism, this game that has been officially approved by the Dakar Rally is more playable than Ridge Racer 2, and I personally don't deny it at all. ”

Ken Kutaragi reminded meaningfully, "Why didn't you bring up the game Need for Speed?" This is probably the game with the best commercial value in a racing game, right? Won't both WCG and CPL invite KTT to license the game? ”

Robert snorted heavily: "I was suspicious of the relationship between KTT and Longteng many years ago, and since it betrayed our EA back then, I have confirmed that they should be a relationship company with mutual shares!" ”

Understood, Kutaragi Ken smiled and said a proverb in Japanese: "Losers always have excuses." ”

Hirono Nakata laughed and said very approvingly, "It sounds like EA is planning to use CPL to get revenge. ”

The two received Robert's invitation separately, and they didn't know that the other party would arrive before today, but it only took a few words to understand each other's attitude, and the two quickly exchanged views and reached an agreement, for them, the urgency to participate in the CPL is far less strong than EA, this is a good opportunity to join forces to obtain greater benefits, and the next thing is to bargain.

Everyone else couldn't understand Japanese, the scene was cold, John coughed, he was the most urgent person, if the "Quake" series was to survive, and if ID's commercial 3D game engine wanted to sell for a good price, he had to hold the big tree.

"I'm sorry guys, but I want to ask, is it that the WCG rejects us from these games? Until today, I didn't know anything about the word WCG, and I didn't ask Longteng about it. I mean, if Need for Speed can be selected as an official WCG project, why are we not eligible to join the WCG? John also didn't want to join the CPL camp impulsively, and the best outcome for him was to join both sides rather than endless hostilities.

Robert shrugged: "John, since they have "Special Forces", why should they have your "Quake"? And don't you notice the difference between you? In terms of game skills, your "Quake" can do a maximum of 2VS2 confrontation, while "Special Forces" can support 16-player battles, their tactical arrangements will be richer, and the game will be more cooperative. ”

John was a little annoyed, his biggest flaw was criticized to his face, should he still welcome everyone with a smile and criticize and correct him?

"Humph! Since "Thor's Hammer" is worthless, why do you still want to come to me? John stood up and gestured to leave.

Robert didn't move, only raised his eyelids: "Although "Thor's Hammer" only supports 2VS2, as long as the operation is good and the publicity is in place, it can also arouse the enthusiasm of players." Fewer people means that the game is fast-paced, the requirements for competitive players are higher, and the visual effects are more refreshing, which is an incomparable advantage of "Special Forces"! ”

John was pulled back by Terry and persuaded: "It's still the discussion stage, you can put forward any requests and ideas, and EA will try to meet everyone's needs as much as possible." ”

John rolled his eyes: "Your "Command & Conquer" is more dominant than "Red Alert", of course you have the confidence to speak!" ”

Triha laughed and said no more.

Robert looked at Ken Kutaragi and asked, "President Kutaragi, do Sony have any good suggestions?" ”

Ken Kutaragi said calmly: "Of course Sony supports the establishment of the CPL, but Sony doesn't have too many high-quality competitive games, what do you want us to do?" ”

Robert pondered for a while, thought about organizing the language, and said slowly: "I want to add performance projects, every game producer can submit an application for performance projects, and it is not bad to promote the game." ”

As expected, Kuda Ragi Ken sneered: "Do we Sony only need to pay money to participate as a sponsor?" Invited me here with such fanfare, just to say this? President Robert, all you need to do is ask your assistant to give my secretary a phone call and it will be met! Let's show some sincerity, to put it mildly, if it's just what you said, I can't see the odds of CPL at all! ”

Robert trembled with anger, he endured it, and secretly cursed a group of old foxes in his heart, all of them are old and mature guys, difficult guys who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

Eventually, he sighed, took out a few copies of the plan from the side, and handed them out.

Everyone took it and studied it carefully, and a smile gradually appeared on everyone's face.

"I think it's feasible......"

"President Robert, take it out early! And it made us worry for so long! ”

"It's just, I thought it was just a sudden idea, it turns out that EA has been so well prepared!"

"What a big deal! The Sony and Nintendo camps account for about 40% of the video game market, and if you attract these people to participate, the population base of the CPL is quite impressive. ”

During the discussion, Robert and Kutaragi Ken looked at each other.

Everyone else can license a certain game, and CPL is a commercial activity, and the licensor has to pay a fee for using the game, which is easy to get away.

The most difficult thing to dismiss is Sony, this is Chiguoguo's digging wall, poaching players from the video game camp to CPL, to satisfy Kutaragi Ken, EA has to pay a considerable price! (To be continued......)
