[When we get enough money, we can find a place where no one knows us, so we don't have to hide XZ anymore.] 】

Silent on the stage.

A deep voice rang out.

[Bang-]

A gunshot rang out, and the picture on the big screen suddenly moved.

Seven or eight cowboys rode horses and ran on the mountains, forests and grasslands, and the wonderful game pictures kept flashing back.

Snowy mountains, shootouts, trains, escapes, fishing, western farms.

Accompanied by a brisk and somewhat bleak whistle song, it echoed throughout the venue.

Seeing this familiar scene, the players cheered, and their voices were louder than ever.

Red Dead Redemption!

The final highlight is the game!

The audience stood up excitedly, staring at the big screen and the stage, and the cheers continued for more than a minute before gradually subsided.

Lao Song smiled and slowly came to the stage.

"Speaking of the history of the Flood Wilderness, of course, this game is indispensable, and it is also our latest masterpiece, Red Dead Redemption."

"To tell you the truth, when I first received this game plan, I was very shocked, not because of its requirements for production, let alone the grandeur of the open world, but the last two words, salvation."

"Yes." Lao Li also stepped forward.

"You might think it's a pure open-world game, but I can say responsibly that it's not a game, it's a life, it's a journey."

"It is because of this that we pursued perfection to make it the ultimate and spent more than 2.5 billion dollars to make it what we want."

"In the end, we succeeded, and we succeeded in bringing the game to everyone."

Wait a minute.

2.5 billion!?

Suddenly, the audience noticed a very crucial message.

The cost of this game is actually more than 2.5 billion!

In an instant, the entire venue and major live broadcast rooms were in an uproar.

They don't understand what the previous words mean, but they do know what 2.5 billion is.

This is almost enough to make four or five 3A masterpieces!

The flood is actually all invested in one game!

"No wonder, no wonder the quality of the first two chapters is so horrific."

"2.5 billion, that's too exaggerated!"

"How dare they? Aren't you afraid of losing money? ”

"I finally know why other companies can't do the big cousin in terms of quality, this TM is simply arrogant!"

"Even big manufacturers don't dare to invest so much money in a game, right?"

Don't talk about the players, even the major manufacturers were shocked by this offer.

2.5 billion funds, not any manufacturer can take it out casually.

Even if Hong Huang has those games plus the income of movies and animations, I'm afraid it will be nerve-wracking.

In case this game can't get back to its roots, wouldn't it be pushing yourself into the fire pit?

You must know that the pre-sale version of this game is so popular, and now it has only sold more than 9 million copies, even if these players buy the full version, they will only just pay off.

What a boldness to dare to do this!

Are they so confident that they can sell more than 10 million copies?

"Fool, you put so much money into one game, don't you know that there are only more than 20 games with tens of millions of sales now? How can it be so easy to achieve? ”

The giant hard branch, Carter, who had just rushed back, also received the news and sneered disdainfully.

Even if they have an annual monopoly and have the entire platform resources to promote, they don't dare to break 10 million tickets, and it is estimated that it will only be seven or eight million.

More than 10 million sales.

That's a phenomenal game every year.

It takes so much manpower and cost to make a game, even if it just pays off, and the operating expenses incurred during the period will bring down the entire company.

Originally, he was still a little worried about the impact of the carnival on them, but now it seems that he is still too careful.

The introduction of the flood is still continuing.

After talking about the production process of the game, Song and Li also introduced the content of the game.

"As you can see in the Early Version, the full version of Red Dead Redemption will be directly available in all 8 chapters."

"In addition to the original gameplay, we have added a lot of details, such as hunting different prey requires different guns, different fur can be used to make different backpack clothing, and new legendary animal hunting."

"Another example is the weather and temperature system, which affects things like how characters wear and what food has to last, frostbite, food rotten, etc."

Lao Song's voice is very clear, and every time he says something new, the audience's eyes light up a little.

They thought that the details of the early version had been exaggerated enough, but they didn't expect the full version to be even more exaggerated, and it had been refined to the difference between food rot and prey.

Wait until Lao Song finishes speaking.

Lao Li on the side also stood up.

"In addition to that, we have added a very important thing, honor points."

"All the good things a player does in Westworld will increase the reputation points, and all the bad things done will also deduct the honor points."

"If the honor value is high enough, it means that the higher the level of respect you are in this world, and entering the store will give you a discount and even trigger some hidden events."

"If the honor value is lower than the warning line, it will also have a different impact, as well as the overall story direction, and it will also change the plot of the final finale, and the specific content is inconvenient to say, leave it to you to explore by yourself."

"To be a good person who does good deeds and accumulates virtues, or a wicked person who is heinous, it is all in your thoughts."

In the end, he smiled mysteriously and sold out.

The audience, who was listening carefully, also became agitated, and even a little moved.

His every move in Westworld will affect the direction of the story, and even the finale will change accordingly.

It's just beyond their understanding of the game.

Or rather.

This is the open world they imagined.

It's not just a game, it's a real world.

Hong Huang is really using games to tell them what an open world is!

"Is this the ultimate move that Hong Huang has been holding back?"

"That's awesome! If it can be realized, it will be absolutely superb! ”

"No wonder they're not afraid of other manufacturers copying the gameplay."

"Laugh to death, you can't copy it for them if you put it there."

"The early version is just a castrated version?"

There was a shock inside and outside the field, and the early version that amazed countless people and even changed the pattern of the entire industry was just a semi-finished product!

Before the loss, the giant hard giant copied the half-finished gameplay, and he was complacent there, but now it seems that he is simply two clowns.

It's useless to copy it for you!

Don't you have that ability?

As far as innovation is concerned, Honghuang has thrown off a lot of manufacturers a few streets, making them look forward to the full version even more.

That's it.

It took half an hour.

Lao Song and Lao Li finally finished introducing the prepared game content.

But when they announced the launch date at the end of the month, the expressions of the excited players suddenly became strange.

Because the annual exclusivity of Juhard is also launched at the end of the month.

Even the games of Soni and Rentiandi are estimated to be launched in those days.

When nearly 100 games are launched at the same time, Honghuang is planning to be tough to the end?

And in this quirky atmosphere.

The whole carnival with the theme of the development history of the flood famine has gradually come to an end.

"The history of the development of the flood is over here for the time being, it is our summary of the past, I hope you can like this New Year's gift, and I hope we can make better and better games in the future!"

Lao Song took the microphone and said with emotion.

Although it was only two hours, it has experienced the development process of Honghuang from its inception to the present, and it is a little embarrassing to look back.

As for the last ten minutes.

It is a Q&A session that they have specially set aside.

"Hello, I want to ask, you just said that the game is better and better, can you reveal a little bit about the future production direction of Honghuang?"

Naturally, the media at the bottom will not miss this opportunity, and someone immediately asked.

As soon as this remark came out.

The players who were still immersed in the content of Red Dead Redemption also woke up one after another, stopped their discussion and looked at the stage.

Old Song and Lao Li glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Originally, these news should not be revealed, but since it is the annual meeting, let's talk about it briefly." ”

"There are two main directions for us in the future, one is to produce more excellent works to fill in the history of the development of the flood famine, and the other is to adapt to market changes and bring some new attempts."

"For example, a larger narrative, intelligent AI characters, and the development of new categories are all directions we will try in the future."

The words fell, and the scene fell into a commotion again.

However, many manufacturers have been using AI popularity recently, so it hasn't caused much repercussions.

Afterwards.

Other media and viewers asked about the game, and the ten-minute Q&A session ended successfully.

In the New Year's greetings of Lao Song and Li, as well as a group of employees, the first carnival of Honghuang finally came to an end.

The audience who left the venue was overjoyed and ran to the stage to choose their favorite game peripherals as a souvenir, and the scene was lively.

The news of the update of the whole series of games in the wilderness also spread quickly with the end of the live broadcast, sweeping the entire game circle like a hurricane.

In particular, those new content have caused a blockbuster sensation on the Internet.

The annual meeting with Juhard has become the hottest topic of discussion.

even launched a very popular network-wide poll.

#Red Dead Redemption VS Faith, who is the best in the open world? #

[1, the eldest cousin is the first in the world! ] 】

[2. Faith is self-respecting! 】

[3. Only children do multiple-choice questions, I want them all!] 】

I have to say that netizens are the best at working hard.

In just one day, the number of views of this poll exceeded one million, attracting a large number of players to eat melons.

However, it was the jaw that shook everyone's jaws.

In addition to the first two hours of "Red Dead Redemption" far ahead, the number of votes for "Faith" in the back actually directly surpassed, a full 15% more!

"What's going on? The vote for faith is so much higher? ”

Ouyang Xiao, who was broadcasting live, frowned.

Although she hasn't played faith, she has watched the live broadcast.

As good as the game was, she didn't think it could beat the big dart to give her a shock, because it wasn't a level at all.

Even if a similar gameplay is added, the picture quality and plot performance ability cannot catch up at all.

"There's definitely something wrong with this vote!"

Eventually, she came to a conclusion.

The barrage in the live broadcast room has also increased suddenly.

"There is indeed a problem."

"Even if there is a gap, it shouldn't be so big."

"Big? It's already wrong for the game to surpass the big cousin. ”

"Fools can see that they have bought tickets."

"It's just a means of operation of capital, and I've seen a lot."

"Can this endure? The brothers rushed him! ”

With that, the indignant audience immediately ran to vote, trying to get the votes back.

As a result, the vote gap has just been pulled to 5%, and the votes of "Faith" have soared again, back to more than 10%.

If they didn't buy it, they wouldn't believe it.

"It's disgusting! Can you buy traffic more obviously? ”

"If the sales of Honghuang can't be done by then, this game industry will really be over!"

Hong Huang had made so many preparations, and Ouyang Xiao saw it in his eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that this battle between the flood and the giant hard represents the war between the quality faction and the traffic faction.

If the traffic faction led by Ju Tough wins, it is the player's own choice, and this kind of market is not good!
