Chapter 137 Issues with Left [-] Dead

In EA's office, Chuhe met Charles as he wished.

Pigg and Plott went to visit other departments of EA temporarily.

"Long time no see, Chu." After seeing Chuhe, Charles stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Although it's not the first time, it's still surprising." Chuhe also said with a smile.

The entire building is EA's private property, and its many years of heritage can clearly make people feel the unique culture of EA, which is far from being possessed by Tianhe Network.

"Is the production of Left [-] Dead almost finished?" Charles asked Chuhe.

With Tianhe Network being directly invited to participate in E3, the promotion of Left [-] Dead has been launched in Europe, North America and other places.

In addition, EA has communicated with Tianhe Network before, so it is not too difficult to find out these news.

"After the E3 exhibition, it will be officially released. This time, I want to discuss the global release of Left [-] Dead." Chu He looked at Charles and said.

"It's incredible production speed!" Charles exclaimed.

Although he is not a game development practitioner, Charles also knows something about game development.

I deeply know how fast this kind of development is for Tianhe Network.

I have never been involved in the game development of the console platform before. Even with the technical assistance of the Merrick team and EA, it is amazing to develop a large-scale console game within a year.

You should know that like Ubisoft, Activision, and EA’s new year’s goods series at the bottom of the box, in addition to the participation of a large number of members, the more important reason is that they already have the experience of the previous work, and many places do not need to spend too much time.

"Merrick's team has helped us a lot, otherwise the entire development time would have been delayed for more than a year." Hearing Charles' sigh, Chuhe said with a smile.

When I first came into contact with the mainframe platform, although it was a new generation mainframe platform, many of the technologies, if only relying on Chuhe and his team to slowly master it, it was basically very difficult.

Even with the addition of Merrick, the entire early development of Left [-] Dead was supported by Merrick's team. The original development team in Tianhe Network was more about learning.

"Global distribution rights of Left [-] Survival? Including China?" Charles asked with bright eyes when he heard Chu He's words.

Now China's game market is becoming more and more popular with major game manufacturers, as can be seen from the step of adding Simplified Chinese.

It is actually not that simple to add a game to other languages, except of course machine translation.

But this is not simply a technical problem, but a practical problem.

Especially when it comes to some complex games, in many cases, even some well-known translation studios are unwilling to accept Sinicization.

On the one hand, it takes too long, and on the other hand, the translation is troublesome.

With the expansion of the Huaxia game market and its normalization, players began to gradually change their minds and began to support genuine games.

More and more manufacturers are also willing to add some oriental elements and some Chinese elements to the game to please Chinese players.

Although the direct invitation to E3 this time has little to do with it, there must be certain factors in it.

Compared with foreign manufacturers, who pay more and more attention to whether they can attract Chinese players, domestic game manufacturers seem a bit ugly.

All kinds of money-making games are shoddy, and they are completely consuming the bottom line of domestic players.

"EA should understand the difficulty of China's review. Road to Survival cannot pass the review in China. We have tried it." Chu He shook his head and said.

As the world's largest game publisher, EA certainly has branches in China, but just like what Chu He said, the domestic review mechanism is too strict, and only a small number of games can be approved. Version number, successful release.

"What if it passes." Charles said with a smile.

Huaxia is a big market. Even if it is difficult to pass the review as Chu He said, if it really passes, then the game release in Huaxia market alone can bring EA millions, or even Tens of millions of income sharing.

"Worldwide distribution rights." Chuhe repeated.

Next, the two discussed the release of Left [-] Dead and reached a friendly cooperation intention.

In the upcoming Road to Survival, including EA around the world, a large part of the funds will be used for publicity.

However, facing EA’s request that when Left [-] Survival landed on the PC platform later, let Left Left Survival join their rotten orange platform, and their request to be responsible for overseas servers was rejected by Chuhe.

"Would you like to visit EA's motion capture studio together? I heard that you are also building your own studio recently?" After reaching a friendly cooperation intention, Charles asked Chuhe with a smile.

"No need, I have already seen it when I came last time, and we also need to return to China. The progress on the road to survival has come to an end. Wait until a month before E3, and we can send it to the factory for pressing." Chuhe shook his head and refused to Charles.

But even though he refused, Chuhe still stayed at EA for a day, and he took Plot and Pigeon back to China by plane early the next morning.

After returning to China, Chuhe first went to Long Zu of Shanghai to discuss with Zhang Ke and Qian Bin about the upcoming E3 exhibition of the ancient sword and hero, and then returned to the Tianhe Network in Jinling.

Instead of going directly to the project office of the Road to Survival, Chuhe went directly to the project office of Jianghu. After Xuchang took over the new model of Jianghu, Chuhe not only reviewed the latest progress in the documents sent internally, but also I haven't seen it directly in the office.

"No, the value of this place still needs to be changed, it is not perfect!"

Entering the office, Chuhe heard Xu Chang's voice before entering.

After signaling to the people next to him not to make a sound, Chu He walked behind Xu Chang.

Xu Chang, who was completely absorbed in the game, obviously didn't notice Chuhe's arrival, and was still explaining the problems in the game to the numerical planners and programmers next to him.

Chu He didn't make a sound, and stood behind watching Xu Chang manipulate the game characters.

So far, the new model of the entire Jianghu has basically been completed, and the rest is small modification and BUG testing.
