Chapter 142 Kicks off
At the end of May, Chuhe and his team had all gone to Los Angeles.

After entering the hotel, there are still two days before the start of E3. During this period, everyone will make small-scale adjustments to the exhibition site.

After all, although there is already a design plan before, some small details still need to be adjusted by the whole team.

During this period of time, Chuhe himself met many people, including some bigwigs in the industry, including people from Microsoft and Sony.

Until the moment before coming to E3, Chuhe still did not give the two companies a reply, that is, which platform will Road to Survival choose to publish on.

There has been no reply, and I believe they understand something in their hearts, but they can win a game to a game, and now there are not many companies that have entered the new console platform, or can come up with games now, Therefore, although Tianhe Network is not that famous, it is still sought after by them.

Among them, Microsoft is obviously more eager.

After all, Microsoft's camp is really bad in games, not at 01:30.

For game consoles, the most important thing is of course games, especially exclusive games.

But Microsoft's external publicity is on the function, with the price.

What is the reason for this?
Of course, the lack of exclusive games!

Take a look at Sony's camp, the new projects God of War, GT racing, and limited-time exclusives such as the Wushuang series and so on.

Look at Microsoft again, Gears of War and Halo are simply shabby.

Even if the road to survival is not exclusive, standing in a team can support the scene anyway.

"The distribution has almost been completed, and the pre-sale time is set for the third day after E3?"

In the hotel room, when a glass of water arrived, Charles smiled and walked towards the Chu River.

"No problem, but there won't be a problem of game stealing, right?"

Chuhe nodded. The two parties had negotiated about the release of the game, and then Chuhe asked worriedly.

The phenomenon of game sneaking is too common. The disc is provided to the retailer in advance, and the retailer chooses to sell it in advance.

Or because of various other factors, such as the loss of the CD, or theft of the CD.

"We have a way to guarantee this. In fact, even the games released by EA are in danger of being stolen." Charles said with some headaches.

Even though EA is the world's largest game publisher, there is still no good way to deal with the problem of game stealing.

Even EA's games, such as the Sims series and the Need for Speed ​​series, have suffered from game stealth.

The game was stolen, there is really no way to explain this kind of thing.

Even the incidents of some games sneaking away are not just a coincidence, but may also be written by your competitors.

Hearing Charles' words, Chuhe can only hope that such uncomfortable things will not happen.

"Does Tianhe Network have any new plans in the future?" Charles asked seemingly unintentionally.

At present, the project of Left [-] Dead is almost completed, and the follow-up is nothing more than DLC and daily operation.

Generally speaking, at this time, there should be new projects on the table.

"There is indeed a new plan, but it is an online game type, and it will probably only be in the domestic market of China." Chu He thought for a while and said.

This is also to be honest, at present he really only has one online game project.

As for the others, I haven't figured out what to do yet.

online games! ?
Hearing what Chuhe said, Charles was obviously taken aback.

From Tianhe Network's production of Road to Survival, it is not difficult to analyze that the other party wants to enter the overseas market, and has begun to target the layout of the host platform.

Otherwise, there is no need for Tianhe Networks to take such a big risk. Not only has it produced a game that cannot be reviewed in China, but it is also an unfamiliar host platform.

Ambition, contacting the Tianhe network itself, and its works, Charles saw the ambition of the other party.

Now the other party tells him that the next project is an online game, to be honest he doesn't believe it.

"There is no way, it's too expensive to make games, and Tianhe Network needs new projects to create blood." Chuhe said with a smile.

Speaking of it, he really didn't lie, this was really his original intention.

But after hearing this, Charles curled his lips secretly.

Ghosts believe.

Leaving aside whether Left [-] Dead will be successful or not, just relying on the information that EA surveyed, Tianhe Network's monthly profit is as high as nearly [-] million U.S. dollars.

This kind of revenue is nothing in the world, but it is definitely not a small company.

You say you have no money?

Ghosts believe it!

But despite thinking this way in his heart, Charles still smiled and said: "Is there a problem with the funds? Did He Network consider financing that day? EA's bid is very sincere."

Chu He, who had been laughing all the time, suddenly froze, then returned to his smile, and changed the topic with a haha: "Charles, did your EA bring any exciting news this time?"

"As rumored outside, there is a new Mass Effect and a new RPG." Charles didn't hide anything, these were not commercial secrets in the first place.

Hearing what Charles said, Chu He didn't ask any more questions, but he already understood that EA brought this time not only old faces such as Sims and Battlefield, but also the new work of BioWare, a studio owned by Elevation Partners, which was acquired not long ago.

Thinking of this, Chuhe couldn't help sighing.

This company can also be regarded as an established game manufacturer in the industry, with many famous games, such as Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate.

But in the end, it was acquired by EA, and the price EA paid for this was a total of more than 8 million US dollars.

For the current Tianhe network, this is an astronomical figure.

The conversation with Charles lasted almost two hours.

With the development of E3, it seems that people related to games from all over the world are gathered here, especially the hotel where Chuhe lives.

Take a casual stroll in the big restaurant, and you might be able to meet the main members of a famous game project.

Not only people in the industry, but also media from all over the world gathered here.

From traditional TV, newspaper media, to Internet media, there are too many.

As for the domestic media, there is no need for game-focused media such as Game Star and Player Paradise. Penguin, Sina, and Wangyi also have them.

Even CCTV and CCTV have dispatched reporters to E3 for related reports.

Countless players and the media will focus all their attention on this place in the past few days.

In such an atmosphere, two days passed quickly, and the E3 exhibition officially kicked off.
