Chapter 254: A Game That Changed the World (2-in-1)

SN's senior executive who participated in the press conference asked a colleague next to him with a numb expression: "If the head office gives full support, can the new work of our "God of War" series achieve a similar effect?" ”

The person sitting next to him was a technical executive at Santa Monica Studios, and his expression was also numb: "...... I don't want to say it, but it really can't, we don't even know, how the hell do they achieve this effect? ”

The SN executive took a deep breath, and he now had only one thought in his heart: Fortunately, this game is released on all platforms, and there will be this game on the PS platform in the future.

The person in charge of the MS game department, who was sitting on the other side, suppressed the irritable emotions in his heart, and said to his assistant in a low voice: "After the press conference, I will immediately make an appointment with the people of Dimension Entertainment, even if it costs more, I hope that this work can be exclusive to XB!" ”

On Activision's side, Arnold turned sideways to Eldawson and said, "Do you have any other questions about this game?" ”

Eldawson shook his head sluggishly and said, "No ......"

After a few moments, he suddenly woke up and said, "We have to take the agency of this game!" It will mean a lot to us! ”

Eldorson is not a fool, if all the previous contempt for "Taigo 2" came from his pride and prejudice, when he really saw the quality of this work, all the stupidity that should not be there disappeared, and was replaced by the shrewdness of a businessman.

For Activision, it is actually a bit lame to cut apart their independently operated and independently developed subsidiary, Blizzard Entertainment, and only talk about this part of Activision, their success in games.

Take a look at their hugely successful franchises, the most famous Call of Duty series, which sells tens of millions of dollars a year; Then, such as "Return to Wolfenstein", "Destiny" series, "Torture and Murder Prototype", ......

Most of them are games of sudden, abrupt and abrupt. Indeed, in North America, and throughout the Western world, gunplay games are more popular.

Here, there are almost no RPGs and action games, and even the closest "Torture Prototype" is not so pure.

Instead, take a look at their main competitor, EA. The "Need for Speed" series of racing cars, the "Dragon Age" series of RPGs, not to mention EA Sports, are their main plays, NBALIVE is even better, but like the FIFA series, the latecomers are almost surpassing the old Pro Evolution Soccer and NFL......

These are very strong.

Even in the shootout category, they also have the "Battlefield" series and the "Mass Effect" series to fight Activision.

In terms of content, Activision is really uncomfortable.

And right now, it seems like a very good opportunity.

Although, this is a game with a Chinese background, but so what? At present, the quality of this game has been very, very passable. If it can be won and attributed to Activision Publishing, then it is clear that Activision will make up for a big shortcoming in the competition in the game industry!

Judging from the quality alone, "Taiwu 2" has a very great value, and combined with its own situation, it is obvious that it has greater commercial value for Activision!

Arnold sighed and said, "It's a pity...... It's a little too late. ”

Eldorson paused for a moment, and also showed a wry smile: "Yes...... It's all my ......."

If they had made up their minds earlier, they would have preempted the negotiations. And now, after this press conference, although no one has really played it yet, the whole world knows that Taigo 2 is a good game.

At this time, if you want to compete for the global agency of this game, the price you have to pay is a lot. Even, the price is on the one hand, and the showdown with various old enemies will be even more stressful.

"No, it's not your responsibility alone." Arnold said, "Although I was also optimistic about the game before that, ...... I never thought it would be so good. ”

Eldorson was also silent.

Fan Zhe on the stage, of course, couldn't imagine the thoughts in the heads of these bigwigs below. It's just that he can also feel that the atmosphere of the whole scene has become very different.

He enjoyed the feeling and felt like he was in control. What excites him even more is that he has the opportunity to announce his company's work to the whole world, as he does today.

"Alright, the fight system is over." Fan Zhe looked at his watch, leaving only the last point of time for the press conference of Wedo Entertainment.

He said with regret on his face: "What I want to talk about next is about another biggest feature of our work, limited to time, I can only briefly talk about ......"

At this point, someone in the audience suddenly shouted: "Talk more!" ”

Looking down, I couldn't find who was talking for a while.

But then, the sound of heckling and whistling from the field began one after another.

Fan Zhe was stunned for a moment, and a voice came from the headset: "Mr. Fan, you can extend the time appropriately, it's okay." ”

His face was silent, but he knew what to do.

For the organizers, 'Dimension Entertainment', which was originally thought to be just the end of the show, has created the biggest surprise at today's press conference. It is obvious that when more and more relevant information about "Taiwu 2" is exposed, the live streams in the global direction have become more popular.

Obviously, not only the people present, but also players all over the world were attracted by this new work brought by Fan Zhe, who may not have heard of it before.

Whether it was the people at the scene or the audience watching the live broadcast, they couldn't wait to know more details about "Taiwu 2", and wished that Fan Zhe could talk a little more.

In this case, the organizer of the exhibition will naturally not obstruct it.

Fan Zhe held the microphone in his hand and continued: "I feel everyone's enthusiasm, so good, let me talk about the point that we are most proud of in the process of making "Taiwu 2", we call it 'dynamic rivers and lakes'. ”

"Jianghu is a word in Chinese culture, which does not really refer to rivers and lakes, but refers to a special environment, referring to a world environment composed of knights, sects, gangsters, etc., a series of unofficial organizations and individuals."

"And the so-called 'dynamic rivers and lakes', as the name suggests, will evolve, develop and change on their own."

"Every player, every time you restart a game, there is hardly anything in the world that is the same except for the basic premise. All NPCs will be randomly generated, and they will all have their own personalities, have very different experiences, and continue to evolve into a completely different story as a result. ”

"Perhaps, in your game, the abbot of Shaolin Temple is an upright old man, but in my game, it may be a benevolent man with kind eyebrows, and in another person's game, it may be a middle-aged and ambitious conspirator who takes over the position of abbot, ready to lead Shaolin to set off storms on the rivers and lakes......"

"In the game, you can pursue the thrill of fighting the sword world, the thrill of chivalry, you can pursue an unswerving love, or you can be a playboy; You can strive to become a decent leader, fight against the devil, or you can be a peerless demon; You can support justice, or you can live in seclusion among the mountains and rivers to practice martial arts and study, and you don't care about the world......"

In Fan Zhe's words, everyone present didn't believe it too much, to be honest.

Although, Fan Zhe talked about the sky, as if describing a very powerful scene. They also believe that if they can really look at it, such a game will indeed exceed people's imagination......

Technically, it's too hard to make it happen.

However, few dared to refute it.

If Fan Zhe just walked on the live broadcast and said this sentence directly, few people would believe it, and it might even attract ridicule and be regarded as a liar.

But now, it's different.

In the introduction of the previous map and the actual demonstration, Wedo Entertainment has shown their strong technical capabilities to the world.

They now say that they can make this 'dynamic Jianghu', it seems that there is still considerable credibility?

Subsequently, the screen behind Fan Zhe also showed some content related to 'dynamic rivers and lakes'. For example, the two Shaolin Temples with completely different atmospheres, for example, the picture of the Blood Sect and the Fulong Altar uniting to attack the Sword Casting Villa......

But even so, just from these few fragments of video, it is hard for people to believe that everything Fan Zhe said is really so easy to achieve.

At the beginning, "Until Dawn", a game under the banner of "interactive cinema", was released, and various promotions also highlighted the "butterfly effect". This means that any choice the player makes in the game will affect the progress and ending of the game.

Many players, and even many media and game critics, are quite looking forward to this game before it is launched.

However, after the final work was launched, many people were disappointed. Although the quality of the final game is not bad, as a horror story game, it is OK, but this 'butterfly effect' is really not very good, more like a multi-ending mode, nothing more than more endings.

And now, the so-called 'dynamic rivers and lakes' declared by "Taiwu 2" seem to have the same effect in many people's minds.

This is not because they don't trust Dimension Entertainment, on the contrary, with the actual demo they showed before, people already have no doubts about the quality of the game.

However, at this time, Fan Zhe used 'dynamic rivers and lakes' to spend a cake that was too big and too beautiful for everyone, and people were very worried about whether this cake could be cashed in.

Fan Zhe also thought of this.

He said: "For the time being, we can only use words and some simple pictures to describe our 'dynamic rivers and lakes', which may not be able to show the characteristics of our game very intuitively." But there's good news that I can share with you here. ”

"Now, the development progress of our "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" has reached a very late stage, and the main body of the game has basically been built, and I think you can also see it in the demo just now. At present, we only have a part of the art resources left, and some tricks are still being designed, but the amount is not much; At the same time, there is also some work on performance optimization for various different models. ”

"I estimate that in about a month, we will be able to come up with a complete work. The relevant publicity work has also begun, and we are very optimistic that within this year, our work will be able to be launched. ”

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of applause from below.

This news is relatively what everyone who is serious wants to hear the most.

The work can be launched as soon as possible, and for these players who have just raised their sense of anticipation for the game, it is of course the most concerned thing.

At the same time, many agents present also heard the meaning from Fan Zhe's words: we are going to prepare for the release, if you are interested, you must hurry up as soon as possible!

This is the signal of cooperation to all potential business partners.

The heads of the manufacturers who were very interested in acting as an agent for "Taiwu 2" were no longer thinking about the press conference that was about to end, and most of them began to think about what kind of conditions to use to impress Wedo Entertainment and defeat competitors.

……

Huang Jianghang watched the entire press conference and looked at the horizon, at this time in early summer, there was already a vague sense of brightness.

I worked all day during the day, and stayed up all night chasing the E3 conference at night, and now I haven't slept for almost 20 hours. He is a coffee in one hand and Red Bull in the other, and he stayed up to watch this press conference.

However, now, he is not sleepy at all.

At the press conference, Mr. Fan showed the work "Taiwu 2" to gamers all over the world, which was too exciting.

Especially for domestic players.

Huang Jianghang has always had a special feeling for domestic games.

When "Taiwu 2" came out, with the huge investment scale and excellent design revealed, he felt that this game might be the 'best domestic one' he was looking forward to.

But in the past, there were so many games and companies that he was promoted under such a banner that he was always a little unconvinced: can it really be made?

And today, after watching this press conference, he feels that he has no doubts.

took a sip of coffee and poured a mouthful of Red Bull, and the flavors of the two things were mixed together in his mouth, which was slightly sour, and it also made him feel a little more energetic.

With a finger on the keyboard, a title is written:

"This could be a game changer for the world, and it's from China!"
