"Flood and Steam have openly cooperated??"

"Great! I'll make an appointment right away! ”

The players who received the news were both surprised and surprised.

The public announcement of the cooperation means that the game has been confirmed to be launched on PC, but the time has not been decided.

At the same time, they also smell something unusual.

With Honghuang's current relationship with Ju Hard, Xinyou is afraid that it will not cooperate with the console platform, at least not on Ju Hard's Xbox.

This has some console gamers starting to worry.

"Does Hong Huang really want to give up such a big interest and do such a thing?"

"Wouldn't it? I'm still waiting to play that game! ”

"I don't think so, the host market is so big, even if the relationship breaks down, it will be reconciled quickly in the face of interests."

"Businessmen are all profit-seeking, and what has happened during this time is nothing more than hype, wait, it will be announced that it will log in to the console platform soon."

Since Yusanjia entered the domestic market, many manufacturers have begun to transform, and game production will take the console platform into account.

After all, no one wants to give up such a large market.

The main thing is that Red Dead Redemption is a game that is so awesome that they have to play it anyway.

If you don't go out of the console platform, wouldn't you have to go to the PC side to play?

If that were the case.

It is estimated that Xbox players can scold the giant to death.

"Look! The flood also made an announcement! ”

Suddenly, an exclamation interrupted everyone's discussion.

The players who were still discussing it were shocked, and hurriedly clicked on the homepage of the game area.

However, when they saw the announcement above, they all froze.

[Flood Studio: I'm very happy to reach a cooperation with @Steam platform, "Red Dead Redemption" has been in production and has made great progress, but due to some reasons, we have to cancel the console launch plan for this game, I hope you will forgive me, make an appointment for the new game, please look for the official account of the steam platform. 】

？？？

Canceling the host onboarding plan?

The eyes of the players who saw these words widened in disbelief.

"What do you mean?"

"Hong Huang doesn't plan to go on the console platform!?"

"! PC exclusive! ”

"Doesn't that mean you can't play new games on consoles?"

"Ahhh How can this be! ”

"This is going to be tough with the giant to the end!"

At this moment, all players and even manufacturers were stunned.

In their opinion, no matter how awkward the flood is, it is impossible to give up such a big benefit.

But who knows.

Hong Huang actually did this!

And it's done very straightforwardly.

Not only is the hardcore Xbox not on it, but it's not even on the whole console platform!

This news is undoubtedly a bombshell for them.

Because everyone knows that as long as any platform gets this game, it will attract a large number of players.

That's a lot of money for a platform!

Sure enough.

As soon as the news was released, it was released.

There was a sudden spike in account registrations on the Steam platform that day.

A large number of console players have poured in, a full three times more than usual!

"This time, thanks to the huge toughness, we have such a strong ally, and next year's Asian earnings report will finally not be at the bottom."

Hansen, the head of steam, looked at the messages with a smug look on his face.

As one of the earliest game platforms to enter the country.

They are not the same as the arrogant guys who are very hard, and they have long been very familiar with the domestic market.

In particular, Honghuang Studio has risen rapidly since its establishment, and they can all see it in their eyes, and they must not be regarded as an ordinary studio.

Hansen thought that he had been transferred to Asia, where the game was lagging behind, a few years ago, and his life would be over.

But unexpectedly, the rapid development of China's domestic game industry in the past two years has brought him hope.

It wasn't until he saw the Red Dead Redemption game that he knew his chance had come.

Immediately convened an emergency meeting, focused resources on East Asia, and personally visited the Honghuang Studio.

I have to say.

The surprise that the flood brought to him was too great.

After only half an afternoon of learning about it, he decided to make that game the focus of next year's promotion.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up profits.

Increased the share of the Flood from 70% to 80%!

Finally succeeded in winning the exclusive rights of this game for half a year.

Hansen believes that the game, Red Dead Redemption, will surprise him even more.

It may not be possible to get him out of the curse of being at the bottom of the financial report.

The online buzz continues.

The news of the exclusive PC side of Honghuang Xinyou soon spread throughout various game circles, causing a shock.

Huge numbers of players flocked to the Steam platform to search for the name of the game.

In just one hour, the number of appointments exceeded 3 million, and it is still skyrocketing.

The rapid momentum can startle the manufacturers.

There are only a handful of games with millions of sales, where have you ever seen such an explosive scene?

If this trend continues, I'm afraid I won't have to run for tens of millions.

No!

Ten million may be less!

"Tens of millions of sales, there are only more than 30 models on the market now, and they are all the head IPs of major domestic and foreign manufacturers."

"We still underestimate the appeal of the game to players."

"It seems that as long as the quality of the game is good enough, players will still pay for it."

Looking at the skyrocketing number of pre-orders, manufacturers finally began to think about the importance of game quality.

Because for them, the game of Flood is undoubtedly of epoch-making significance.

It is likely to be a signal that the traffic market is shifting to the quality market!

If you want to survive in a game industry that changes every day, you have to change all the time.

Of course.

None of this is what players care about.

There is only one thing they care about the most now, that is, when will the new tour of the flood come out.

Especially those who have watched the live broadcast, it is even more itchy at this time.

"Reservations are open, when will the game come out?"

"I don't care which platform you're on, I have to play today!"

"Please, the game isn't finished, so it's okay to put the demo version on it first."

"Agreed! When the trial version comes out, I'll buy it anyway! ”

"Ben Cowboy is here, open the door and let me in!"

Not only are the number of appointments skyrocketing on the reservation page, but even the number of reviews is skyrocketing.

Click on it and take a look, almost all of them are urging online, densely packed with hundreds of pages.

That spectacular scene made the Honghuang employees in the studio stunned, and hurriedly reported the matter.

"There are so many appointments?"

Lao Song, who received the report, was full of surprise on his face, and at the same time a little regretful.

"It's a pity that this popularity is so good, if our game is done well now, it is estimated that it will sell well."

During this time, their Dawn team has mobilized almost all the manpower and has been working this game.

However, the content of Chen Lin's design plan is too large.

Even if he has urgently expanded his manpower, he can't finish it in a short time, so he can only watch that this heat can't be used.

"How many chapters are you doing now?" Chen Lin on the side asked.

"Just finished the third chapter, and only optimized the first two chapters." Lao Song replied.

He is still very aware of the team's production progress.

"Chapter three?"

Chen Lin muttered to himself, and then looked at the comments on the page that were constantly refreshing.

After a while, he finally made a decision: "Let's go online with the first two chapters and give them a tryout." ”

"Try it out in advance? That's fine. Lao Song's eyes lit up, "What about the price?" How to decide? ”

"Let's go half price first, and unlock it after all the content is online."

Hiss!

Old Song gasped.

Two chapters, half-priced?

You know, they have eight chapters in this game.

Only a quarter of the content was released and sold for so much money, will players really buy it?

After being stunned, he hurriedly said, "Are you sure you want to do this?" In case the follow-up content does not meet expectations, it will be scolded by players, and other manufacturers may also take advantage of the topic. ”

Although the flood seems to be infinitely beautiful now, it is also on the cusp of the storm, and many manufacturers are staring at them.

If something goes wrong.

Those guys aren't going to be polite to them.

"It's okay, it's just a pre-sale at most, it's not fun and it's not that it can't be refunded, our main consideration now is to finish the game smoothly, and there's no problem with the personnel, right?"

"One of the core members has been poached, but it's not a big problem, I've already arranged for someone to make up for it."

When it came to the issue of personnel, Lao Song immediately became serious.

People are profit-seeking, especially in the face of huge pockets, even he cannot guarantee the loyalty of all employees.

"What about data security?" Chen Lin asked again.

"There's no problem with security, Dawn is now responsible for a part of each team, and even if the materials are taken out individually, it will be useless for them, unless the entire core team can be poached."

At this point, Lao Song is still very confident.

If you want to enter the core team, you basically have to sign the highest level of non-disclosure agreement.

With the investment of more than 1 billion yuan in this new game, no matter how willing to spend money is, Juqiang will definitely not invest such money to compensate them.

And their game materials are all recorded.

Once the giant hard is taken out and used, it is an infringement of trade secrets, which is not as simple as a fine in China.

If he dares to do this as a foreign agency.

Then Chen Lin dared to send those people in!

There is this premise.

The two quickly finalized the precautions, and Lao Song hurriedly left the office with the documents.

Half an hour later.

A new announcement appears below the official account.

The news that the first two chapters of the new game will be launched early next month also spread quickly in the game circle like a hurricane.

"I'm going to the grass! The first two chapters are covered! ”

"Is this true? Mo is not dreaming! ”

"I remember that when I was live before, it was just after the prologue."

"Enough, two chapters enough! It's better than nothing! ”

"Great! It's not a shame that I've waited so long! ”

"Just rush for that movie-level picture quality, I'm going to explode!"

"Hong Huang is finally a human being, awesome! (Broken sound)"

I received comments from readers, and it would be better to post the two chapters together, so all the chapters will be posted at 8 p.m. starting tomorrow.

(End of chapter)
