Chapter 478: Saloman Snake: Red Alert
"The second game is still a PC game, and it is also a war game, but it can be regarded as an upgraded version of "Saloman: Dune 1993", and the name is "Saloman: Red Alert".
When Yang Yun said this word, he was a little excited.
This is a classic PC battle real-time strategy game, launched by the West Wood Company in real history, I think when I was studying, their classmates could play without sleep and food, and they stayed all night in the Internet café, and they almost never felt bored, until the later "StarCraft", "Rome Revival", "CS" and other games came out, and the popularity of Red Alert slowly subsided.
RedAlart, after this word was spoken, everyone whispered it a few times, feeling a little unfamiliar with these two words, and they didn't quite understand its meaning.
Yang Yun smiled: "First of all, it is a real-time strategy game, similar to Dune 1993. But this is a completely alternate world, something that is happening on another planet in the universe, a planet similar to Earth, with world wars, Allies and the Axis of Evil, and the planet's technological development is similar to Earth's 1950. ”
In order to prevent the Chinese River Crab Army from poisoning this classic game, Yang Yun had to move the story to outer space and hang the prefix of the Salloman Snake, indicating that this is a typical interstellar war, rather than a cold/war theme that represents "red".
Of course, if a small company is used for a backdoor listing. It is to be expected that there is no problem at all in the best-selling capitalist countries, because the game scandalizes Si/Dalin, and allows Si/Dalin to attack the world instead of Hit/Teller, and the European and American markets will definitely support this game.
However, the socialist countries, China, which has always regarded the Soviet Union as its big brother, will definitely not agree to the listing of this game, and such an awesome game will be banned by the state radio and television. That's more than worth the loss. Why bother?
"It's World War II again...... So, you're going to leave it to the European R&D Center 1C to do it? Zhang Guoqiang was a little disappointed, and it was clear that the game was not suitable for distribution at headquarters.
In China, there are too many rules and regulations. The red line must not be touched. Rules can't be broken. Let's just say that the various tanks in the dunes are counted in detail, and ordinary people really can't get them, in case something that shouldn't be revealed in "Red Alert" is revealed. The military came to your door and invited you to tea, how do you explain those numbers? To pay or not to pay?
Yang Yun nodded: "As I said, basically all war games have to be handed over to the European branch for distribution, but you programmers who participated in the Dune 1993 project all went to the R&D center in Paris to help, I would rather spend more money than cause any trouble." ”
Many people laughed, Zhang Guoqiang even cracked his mouth, and laughed, this is a righteous and bright official trip, of course, the income and subsidies are expensive, and there is no danger, I went to Paris, France, basically no one will refuse this kind of good thing.
Why don't you let someone from Paris come to China to do a project? This is the reason why Yang Yun doesn't want to get into trouble, the number of weapons he got from Eastern Europe or the United States can't be transmitted back by international fax and telephone, these are monitored, and there is no way to bring back passengers who enter and leave the customs, and if they are caught carrying this kind of documents, they will go to jail.
And in case the number of games and the number of objects are not coordinated, and the programmer liaison weapon dealer has to give feedback and redesign in many aspects, and toss back and forth a few times to know, this is definitely a waste of time and energy, and it is not pleasing to please, and it only costs a few dollars to send people out to work?
Even if Chinese programmers add overseas official subsidies, their salaries are much lower than those of European programmers, and if they pay some money to let them go to Europe, "Special Forces" and "Saloman: Red Alert" can participate, and when the technology is in place and the authorization of weapons dealers from various countries is in place, they will just come back to do "CS".
When Ma Liang heard this, he was a little depressed, he had never participated in the design of Dune 1993, he was in Japan at that time, and now he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to go to Europe.
"Mr. Yang, is there a game that you can do without going abroad?"
"Of course there is! How about leaving the SS and PC versions of NBAGame96 to you? We made deep revisions to our original outputs, adding my latest requests, and maybe major revisions, so I was personally involved as well. ”
The NBA project has only developed a specially customized Demo version for Stern before, Yang Yun wants a large number of players back from the United States, plus the team coach and agent sent by the Timberwolves, everyone knows that Yang Yun attaches great importance to this game, which is equivalent to overturning the previous test project for a deep reconstruction, Ma Liang heard that he is in charge, and it is still SS and PC versions, he has long been happy.
However, some people still noticed the unusual smell and showed puzzled expressions.
Inoue Yanxiong rarely spoke, and he was puzzled: "Mr. Yang, why are all these three games in PC versions?" Could it be that our new game for this year's SS console is only NBAGame96? ”
Yang Yun raised his eyebrows and said: "I have seen the list of projects of various game suppliers that have been sent up for the report now, and there are several masterpieces among them, such as DQ7 and FF7 on the Japanese side, Legend of Heroes White-haired Witch, Light Power 3, Domestic Blood Lion 3, Journey to the West Demon 2, Thorn Qin, the game projects of these cooperative enterprises look good." Our own King of Fighters, Sword of Fighters, Tomb Raider, The Expendables, there are so many games that can be used for follow-up versions, why is it only "NBAGame96"? ”
Inoue Yanxiong didn't know how to express it for a while, Zhao Yongping helped explain: "Lao Jing didn't say that he was very idle and had nothing to do, in fact, I also had the same question, from the three games just mentioned, one is a first-person shooter game, one is a real-time strategy game, and the other is a sports game, all of which are new content and new ideas." But why aren't Special Forces and Red Alert released on our greatest advantage, the SS platform? We've had a precedent for MD to release real-time strategy games before! ”
Yang Yun was helpless: "I just said that "Special Forces" and "Red Alert" were specially modified for WCG, and even "NBAGame96" had to greatly delete the single-player mode, and only retain the competitive battle module.
To put it bluntly, these three games are all a WCG custom version, and my plan is to launch the battle version as quickly as possible, leaving enough time for players to prepare, hold a WCG next year, and then release the full game version of these three games with plots and missions.
And you really want to see two players in a WCG tournament with a controller sitting in front of a TV playing a game and fighting for the championship? ”
Thinking of that scene, everyone laughed, Zhao Yongping's thinking was still conservative after all, he shook his head and said: "But sitting in front of the computer and playing games is not necessarily strong!" Video game competition, in the eyes of most people, is a child's game, sitting in front of the TV and sitting in front of the computer better than whose game is no different, right? ”
Yang Yun shook his head: "No, there is a big difference, you will know when the time comes." ”
Of course, there is a difference, not to mention anything else, playing Counter-Strike, or League of Legends, are all 5 team members sitting in a row, wearing a unified team uniform, equipped with cool keyboard and mouse headsets and other high-end equipment, the momentum is immediately different, and the competition is in a confrontation between the two armies, the computer is their battlefield, and the mouse and keyboard are their weapons.
Waiting for the cute female game commentator to appear on the rostrum, the director and referees keenly grasped the wonderful shots on the big screen, the exciting/emotional commentary of the professional masters, the wonderful divine operation of both sides of the game, and the crazy shouts of the fans in the audience, that scene is absolutely exciting.
If it is a single-player 1V1 project, such as Warcraft 3, StarCraft, cold Moon, expressionless Sky, steady Boxer, handsome Grubby, everyone has a large number of fans, they are all the focus of their eyes in the ring, they are staring at the computer screen, pressing the keyboard quickly in their hands, and the APM is as high as 200 operations, it is called a crazy dick cool and handsome!
Imagine again, if it is a person holding a game controller, two people sitting cross-legged on the sofa, maintaining the same posture and looking at a 40-inch large color TV, you come and go, after hitting a wonderful goal, the two raise their palms and have a heart-to-heart blow, this is the scene of playing football with friends at home......
"WCG must be the most professional! In the future, most of the competitive games will appear on the PC, and we can also have video games, such as NBAGame, Pro Evolution Soccer, but this is a minority after all, video games will develop towards the casual side, and they will rarely be involved, and video games will gradually be eliminated on WCG! ”
Yang Yun said this in a conclusive tone, and said this qiē in an affirmative tone, others are already surprised, Yang Yun said almost no mistakes, since he said so, then do it, "Special Forces" and "Red Alert" do the PC version, basketball does two versions at the same time, without further ado, everyone can start.
That's all there is to the new game task, Yang Yun is indeed a little tired, he yawned a lot, planned to break up the meeting and rest, and said before leaving: "Yongping, I will go to Paris with Guoqiang and them in a few days, you can arrange it for me." Also, When will the movies and games of The Expendables 2 be released? ”
Zhao Yongping laughed: "It's just these days!" (To be continued......)
