Chapter 191: Horseback Riding and Hacking Sale

This feeling Zhao Hao was not unfamiliar, when the space door appeared a few times before, the imprint on Zhao Hao's palm emitted such a burning feeling.

But what really made Zhao Hao a little strange was that after this burning sensation appeared, Zhao Hao deliberately drove the car to the side of the street, which was a little remote and there was no surveillance camera, but the burning sensation gradually disappeared.

"Toria, did the space door appear at home?" After connecting the phone, without waiting for Tolia to speak, Zhao Hao hurriedly asked.

"Space Door? No, what's wrong, did something happen? Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Toria on the other end of the phone was also a little nervous, and hurriedly asked.

"No, nothing. It's just that burning sensation is back in the picture. Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hao shook his head lightly and said to Toria.

"Again? Nothing out of the ordinary? Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Torya asked nervously.

"No, I don't feel anything out of the ordinary." Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Hao said to Toria.

Zhao Hao is also very strange about this, you must know that this situation appeared before, but it was accompanied by the appearance of the space gate, but now there is no reaction at all, how can Zhao Hao not feel strange.

However, although he felt a little strange, Zhao Hao had no choice.

After hanging up the phone call with Toria, Zhao Hao drove back towards the studio.

"Xiaoji, you borrowed someone from James and them again." As soon as he went upstairs, Zhao Hao saw Hideo Kojima and a few people walking out of the direction where James and them were working and came to the elevator door.

"James's 'mount and slash' has been developed, and the killer is now at the most critical time, there are not enough manpower, so naturally some manpower must be drawn." Seeing that Zhao Hao did not have any rules for superiors and subordinates like other companies, as if facing his friend's inquiry, Hideo Kojima smiled and explained to Zhao Hao.

"Then you can get busy, I'll go and see the finished product of 'Horse Riding and Slashing'." Zhao Hao smiled and said.

It's not just about looking at the finished products of horseback riding and slashing, but also about some related speeches about waiting for the next press conference, etc.

And the relevant advertising campaign will start immediately.

"'Riding and slashing'? I tried it. A perfect piece indeed. Hideo Kojima said to Zhao Hao with a smile.

After the elevator door opened, Hideo Kojima entered the elevator, and Zhao Hao also walked towards James's office.

After walking into the office, I saw James and a group of them holding the handle. Sitting in front of the computer yelling.

At the top of their computer screen, there is a screen of 'riding and slashing'.

"Boss, you're here." Seeing Zhao Hao coming, he put down the handle in his hand and said to Zhao Hao.

"Did you patch the number of people?" Look at the screen on the computer. A group of people in the black press are fighting, most of course they are hired NPCs, and the real players are actually the people present.

"That's right, BOSS, we think that the really interesting part of this game is the multiplayer battle, the kind of joy of leading an army to fight on the battlefield." Hearing Zhao Hao's question, James nodded lightly.

Smiling, Zhao Hao said: "Okay, no matter where the selling point is." At the very least, we need to attend a press conference and make sure that the servers are up and the game is maintained. ”

With more and more games, the number of people needed will naturally expand, not to mention the development of new games, such as "Minecraft" and "Fallout", which are developed and completed, and also require a lot of manpower to be responsible for some bugs in the game and the update of new content to ensure the vitality of the game.

Just like the previous 'Fallout' and 'Minecraft', the graphics are always stiff, but fortunately in these games. It's not that the picture is the biggest selling point, so although the impact is there, it is not big.

But if you really say it, in fact, the picture quality of 'Horse Riding and Slashing' is not as bad as imagined. Even better than 'radiation' in some ways.

But what really surprised Zhao Hao was the experience of the battle, which was beyond Zhao Hao's expectations.

Like 'Minecraft' and 'Fallout', of course.

The most important thing about 'Mount&Blade' is that you also have an editor to create mods, so you can let others edit your favorite mods, as long as you have the ability.

And in 'Mountback & Blade', James and the others have also finished a half-finished mod.

A battle in the game's story. It was transformed into a crusade in Western history.

Of course, this is a unique perk that you have as a genuine player.

Regarding the game, Zhao Hao does not plan to encrypt, even if it does not cost money, you can download the offline plot mode, and you can also choose to continue to play your favorite MOD, Zhao Hao, they will also update the game for you.

But if you want to play with friends and multiplayer, I'm sorry, please buy the genuine version.

In detail, 'Horse Riding and Slashing' Zhao Hao and James, they did not stereotype it as a stand-alone game, or a semi-online game, which is more appropriate.

After all, the charm of this game lies in the online multiplayer mode.

In single-player mode, I have to say that this plot is really weak enough.

At half past two in the afternoon, Zhao Hao and James attended a press conference on the promotion of 'Mount and Blade', and also announced that its 'Mount and Blade' will be officially released in two days, but the electronic version will be pre-sold on the Steam platform in advance.

But what really shocked many people was the fact that the game was not encrypted.

"Wouldn't it, without encryption? How else can this make money? Someone on the Internet uttered shocked words.

"The space gate is really a conscience, the game is free!"

"Since it's no longer encrypted, why can't you play multiplayer online mode?"

Immediately there were questions on the Internet, but not long after the press conference was announced, a pre-sale advertisement on the Steam platform about 'Mount and Blade' also popped up.

Although most people are shocked and puzzled by the expectation of 'riding and slashing', and the fact that offline mode can be carried out without encryption or even without paying.

But what can't be changed is the usual pre-sale results on steam, as well as the super high rating on IGN.

In less than an hour after landing on the Steam platform, 400,000 sales have already been pre-sold.

'Mount & Blade' sells for $29.9 on Steam.

That is to say, if you add the share to Steam, and other costs are not calculated.

'Mount & Blade' has already earned nearly $17 million.

And the development cost of 'Horse Riding and Slashing' is less than $8 million.

It can be said that the pre-sale of less than an hour has already allowed the Space Gate Studio to complete the task of recovering the cost.

And the score of 'Mountback and Hack' on IGN, the most authoritative game review site, is also very good.

Although there is a public relations factor, it is not much different.

After all, for IGN, credibility is fundamental to their existence.

Therefore, most players still believe in and agree with IGN's evaluation.

And on IGN, this is what it says about 'riding and slashing'.

7.0 overall: The game doesn't have any particularly surprising story, but it has a lot of things that you can't have in a normal game.

The graphics performance is 8.5 points: imaginative light and shadow and particle effects, beautiful environments, the only thing that makes people regret that the game makers can make those NPCs that are not very important are not so ugly.

Sound performance 6.5 points: The music effect is not good, but it can't be said to be bad, it can only be said to be qualified.

9.0 points for hands-on experience: deep combat, interesting political and economic strategy, and excellent multiplayer mode give you a variety of ways to play.

Playability 9.5 points: With so much game content, I believe you won't get tired of playing it in a short period of time, and the most important thing is that just like the previous games of the space gate, "Horse Riding and Slashing" has a mod editing maker, maybe you can participate in the big battle in the magic novel in the game, as well as various wonderful battles in history.

Overall: 9.1 points

Final comment: Role-playing blends with a deep combat system, and the multiplayer mode is the best part. This low-cost work compared to 3A, its playability is even higher than that of some money-burning masterpieces. (To be continued.) )
