The entire game time flow of Red Dead Redemption is actually difficult to evaluate, but if you focus on the main story, it will only take about forty or fifty hours.

As an open world, players can spend more than forty or fifty hours in it.

On the other hand, the major media on the Internet have not hesitated to give full marks to evaluation, even if there are some independent review sites that have to pick out some faults and give low scores, but they are almost instantly attacked by players.

For some game manufacturers, looking at the success of Red Dead Redemption, they have some different opinions.

In NetDragon's conference room, Zhang Yida and Ma Lei, as CEO, and others sat together, and what was placed on the big screen behind them was

Gameplay footage of Red Dead Redemption.

"What do you think of this game?" In the main seat, Ma Lei looked at everyone and asked.

As Nebula Games and Yang Chen's return to the open world, it is naturally impossible for them not to pay attention to it.

At the beginning, many people saw that Yang Chen chose this genre of western themes, even if they didn't say it on the surface, they were also shocked in their hearts.

But now the sales continue to rise, and the industry is almost all perfect scores, prove one thing.

As long as the performance of the game is good enough, let alone you write about western themes, as long as you don't play any external sensitivities such as politics and human rights, no matter what kind of theme is fun enough, then there is no failure.

As for the full score of the media, it proves the excellence of "Red Dead Redemption", although everyone is a game company, and they are also clear about the following twists and turns, and there is a public relations before the game rating comes out.

But if the game really doesn't work, or doesn't reach that height, these review media won't give a high score in good conscience.

It's really a bit bad, find a way to praise your strengths, avoid talking about your weaknesses, and give you a passing grade.

The game is okay and gives you a high score.

But if you want to get a perfect score, unless your game is really amazing, you can't give it easily.

Unless you're giving too much.

And there is more than one review media to score this kind of thing, and if you really want to buy them all, the cost is not small.

"Nebula Games' Red Dead Redemption can be said to have opened up another kind of open-world game approach." Zhang Yida in the audience spoke.

Hearing this, the rest of the game producers all looked at Zhang Yida with curious eyes.

"His gameplay is actually not much different from the usual formulaic open world, but the key point is that there are too many things to choose from, a lot of details and the connections between the characters, it seems that there is not much connection with the open world games of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", but in fact, if you dig carefully, there are still many places that are connected." Zhang Yida said very confidently.

Although he hasn't come up with any new products in recent years, after all, he is also a former boss, and Zhang Yida still has some insight.

And for the first time, he also entered the game world of "Red Dead Redemption" to experience it.

It can be said that he still has a lot of say.

"Of course, this seems simple, it's like putting a good plot into the game, with a variety of details to create a real open world, so that players have a great sense of substitution, but there are all kinds of connections, which is the most difficult place to control, to be able to reach the level of "Red Dead Redemption" Open World, Nebula Games and Yang Chen must have spent a long time." Zhang Yida pushed his eyes and said in a very firm tone.

"Well, it's possible." Ma Lei listened to Zhang Yida's words, and remembered the official blog information on the official blog that Yang Chen went out to travel without making a game, and suddenly felt that this possibility was particularly great.

As the boss of Nebula Games, do games and run outside every day?

Even if you're the master of the game, are your people eating dry food?

"But Nebula Games has also given us a lead, and the open world doesn't have to be like The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim to create a huge world and at the same time bring all the tasks together; It doesn't have to be like Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain to give players a variety of ways to accomplish objectives; Create a huge game world with a lot of detail, and then introduce enough to make the story compelling. Ma Lei smiled and said.

Although he is the CEO of NetDragon Games, he doesn't know anything about games.

Not only NetDragon, but also first-line game manufacturers such as Tenghua and Phoenix Games, as well as overseas UEgame and Power Storm, are all beginning to study the content of "Red Dead Redemption".

Although the results of Red Dead Redemption are very impressive, and although the huge sales make them jealous, they are not only concerned about sales, but also about the breakthrough that Red Dead Redemption brings to open-world games.

Unlike Nebula Games' Dark Souls and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Red Dead Redemption has a bigger follow-up.

For example, in "Dark Souls", the action experience may be able to reach or even surpass, but that kind of level design and difficulty control for players are difficult things.

And "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", it is not an exaggeration to say that maybe Nebula Games has done the modern warfare part, and after "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" itself attracted most players with its plot and graphic theme, it quickly made a hole in the FPS genre game with its fast-paced multiplayer gameplay.

This makes it even more difficult for latecomers to surpass.

On the contrary, Red Dead Redemption is a great entry point.

Even though you do western themes, they can do other themes.

At the end of the day, it's all about creating a realistic open world, and if successful, this model could be made into a formulaic New Year's game.

This is much more profitable than a single 3A masterpiece.

It's not like "Dark Souls" that can only learn its form, but not its god; and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which has laid the foundation for its own FPS dominance, as an open-world Red Dead Redemption is obviously the best example.

If you can't do it, then learn!

Tenghua and Phoenix Games announced that they would also have an open-world masterpiece a week after the release of Red Dead Redemption.

NetDragon and some overseas game manufacturers, although there is no official announcement, have also revealed some so-called 'gossip'.
