Chapter 231 It's okay if you don't make the game, but you have to draw the big cakes beautifully
Chuhe stayed at the EA headquarters in Redwood City for a total of four days. During this period, except for some core studios, Chuhe basically visited all the open areas.

If it is a company as big as EA, there are countless large and small projects every year, not to mention the sub-studios located in other places, there are enough numbers in the headquarters alone.

However, after the visit, Chuhe clearly understood that there will be more than [-]% or even all of them in this batch, and the final outcome will be cancellation of follow-up funds or mandatory sale.

A good game has always climbed up from the corpses of other games.

The most glamorous games are displayed in front of the players, and no one will remember the losers except the team that made them. This is the cruelty of the game industry.

As for the plan for the invitational tournament, it has actually been basically finalized, but the format has not been decided yet, but this is not such an important matter.

EA will be in touch with Tianhe Network regarding the advance reservation preparation of the venue, as well as the venue layout at that time, including the invitation of the major teams and the cooperation of the live broadcast platform.

Regarding the holding time, it is temporarily set to be after the TGA Awards Ceremony.

At the same time, Chuhe has also contacted EA about the mobile game plan of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

The specific cooperation matters still need to be negotiated between EA and Tianhe Network, but EA's verbal promise is enough sincerity. Once confirmed, the mobile game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be placed as a priority at the T1 level.

It will belong to the same level of project level as Need for Speed, The Sims, and FIFA.

In terms of mobile game development, EA may not be as familiar to players as traditional mobile game manufacturers such as gameloft. Players still know more about EA on PCs, such as FIFA, The Sims, Battlefield and Need for Speed.

But in the field of mobile games, EA is definitely a dominant monster.

Therefore, in terms of mobile game development, there is no need to worry about it at all, and EA will definitely hand in a satisfactory answer.

After the friendly contact with EA in Redwood City, Chu He had to go back to Los Angeles to hold a press conference on Red Dead Redemption.

All major game media around the world will receive invitation letters, including domestic game star sky and player paradise, etc.

Gabre and others from Black Light Studio, as well as Prot and others who have already flown from Tianhe Network, will participate in this press conference, in order to announce the project of Red Dead Redemption this time.

Since the project was revealed at E3, many domestic and foreign players have expressed a very strong interest in such a game.

However, Tianhe Network has not revealed its veil all the time. Countless people, including players or various media, have asked about it, but the final answer is that it has already been done, such ambiguous words.

"No, this DEMO is not good enough, and the details can be more perfect. For example, when a horse walks on the wet mud, the depth of each footprint is different." Chuhe looked at the promotional video submitted, and lightly He shook his head lightly and said.

Hearing Chuhe's invitation, Yang Changhua, who was personally in charge of the production of the promotional video, couldn't help but look speechless.

Although the promotional video is basically the same as the game CG, the purpose is to express the big concept of the game and show the most perfect advantages of the game in front of the players. Even some over-the-top game manufacturers can make the game CG picturesque , the degree of game real scene mosaic.

But you can’t draw too big a pie. Through the production of promotional animations, the existence of various details looks really shocking.

But the most important thing is that this is just a promotional animation, the real game has not written a single line of code yet.

Drawing big cakes is something that every game manufacturer will do. After all, some advertisements and products will be engraved with the slogan "The picture is for reference only, please refer to the real thing". It is not unacceptable to beautify the game video .

But you can't beautify too much!Is it necessary to be so detailed that even the depth of the footprints are different?
Of course, it’s all about making complaints, and the boss can do whatever they say, anyway, it’s not their responsibility to add these details when the time comes.

The people in the team who are in charge of making the promotional video are working overtime and working hard. Even though the flour has just been made and the dough has not been kneaded yet, at least the cake drawn on paper must be done well.

In the Beverly Hotel, Chu He was wearing a padded jacket and watching the manuscript in the background. More than 50 game media from all over the world, as well as the official twitch and some domestic live broadcast platforms, have received invitations to attend this press conference.

In addition to the invited media, there were even some crazy players who rushed over at their own expense to learn first-hand news about Red Dead Redemption.

Because of the limited space and the fact that fans were not invited in the original plan, Chuhe and the others were originally going to refuse.

But in the crowd, Chuhe saw a group of familiar faces, Chinese people holding Chinese plaques. Of course, these were not killed by crazy fans of Tianhe Network from China, but international students from a local university in Los Angeles.

In the end, Chuhe 'randomly' selected 4 fans to enter the conference site, two Chinese students, one male and one female, a blond girl and a Caucasian brother.

The press conference hadn't started yet. Reporters from various media around the world hung their badges on their chests and entered the press conference to find their seats.

Although it was a press conference, those who came to the scene obviously had their own small circle, and the media they knew from various countries gathered together.

For example, domestic media such as Game Star and Players Paradise were competitors in China, but now the reporters from both sides are chatting nonsense.

"I didn't expect Tianhe Network to have such a reputation abroad." Ye Qing, who had finally won this opportunity in the game starry sky, looked at a group of foreigners beside him, and said in a low voice.

"Yeah, if you don't use market capitalization and these ghosts, if you only talk about games, Tianhe Network can almost be compared with EA, Ubisoft, and Blizzard. If it is true, what is missing is only the so-called history. .” Chu Yun from the game player nodded in agreement.

Unlike Ye Qing, who won the opportunity to go out this time, he was originally a reporter stationed abroad, and he often went out to report overseas news, so he has a better understanding of Tianhe Network, which enjoys such a reputation overseas, than ordinary people. .

On the hour, after all the invited reporters had landed and entered the arena, Chu He nodded to the staff, and the lights in the hall suddenly went out, leaving only the lights on the main stage.

Holding the microphone in his hand, Chu He walked directly onto the stage.

(Recommend a game that I discovered by accident, roguelike type, Magicite on the steam platform, if you are interested, you can go and have a look, the pixel style is similar to Terraria.)
