Chapter 263 Petition

Announcing the latest news about Red Dead Redemption, the impact is actually much greater than what Chuhe thought. For example, excited players rushed to tell each other on the Internet, and the confirmation of Red Dead Redemption will be announced at E3. Multi-message news has become the headlines of various media.

There are even a lot of unscrupulous game media, who directly started the headlines such as "Shocked, Red Dead Redemption, which countless players are looking forward to, will announce the release time at E3".

Originally, this news was only spread by Chuhe through Weibo, but as a result, the influence became greater and greater, and the official of Tianhe Network had to send a notice to confirm the authenticity of the news.

However, Chu He was a little nervous about the heated discussions about Red Dead Redemption among players in major game forums.

Speaking of which, I just wanted to announce some news about Red Dead Redemption, why did it look like the game was about to be released?
You must know that the game has only been developed for about half a year so far. When E3, these players with infinite expectations will find that the demo video is different from what they imagined. They just throw out the promotional CG. It's bigger and more fragrant, but it's just an untouchable pie. There won't be any extreme players doing anything to themselves.

Thinking of the news that a player in Neon not long ago issued a death threat to his company because of a dark game bug, Chu He shuddered.

But about these things, Chuhe is just thinking about them in his own head.

And this time about Red Dead Redemption, there is no MOD plan for the time being. This is probably the only game on Tianhe Network that has not considered MOD in its design since the famine.

The main reason is that this is a game that has landed on the console platform, and it is different from the original Road to Survival. The workload of Red Dead Redemption is really too big and too complicated.

In the early days, the whole team couldn't think about so much, and they didn't even think about the PC version that had already been decided. They devoted their greatest energy to the development of the host platform. This is the main work of the current Red Dead Redemption team.

Although for an open game, especially a game that is compatible with various mods, there will be unimaginable strength in terms of vitality.

For example, since the release of Jianghu, except for players in the online mode, relying on various strange MODs, the average online level of Jianghu has remained at a very impressive number.

Even when there is a MOD studio and a large MOD is released, the number of online users in the entire world, even including sales, will increase considerably.

Every gamer actually has a game design dream. They may not know what kind of game they want, and they don’t even know whether the cool gameplay they imagined is really that fun. .

They just want to, and MOD is such a place to realize their imagination.

If there is a professional survey, then someone will find that 70.00% of MOD producers are not professionals, but gradually become masters of MOD production through self-interested learning.

Including many foreign manufacturers, there will be an open strategy for MOD. For example, Blizzard's Warcraft has launched an official map editor. Relying on the editor and even some map authors can make some maps that are more fun than the original version.

But not all manufacturers like to make their games MOD. Although Tianhe Network is not such a manufacturer, in the current game development progress, thinking too much will only make them lose their direction, and MOD is just an extension of the game , the most important thing is not only MOD, but also the quality of the game itself.

Chuhe doesn't want to create a 3A game that relies on MOD to survive. Even without MOD, Red Dead Redemption is still one of the greatest games. This is Chuhe's goal.

"Mr. Chu, you have to read this news."

The mobile phone's message notification sounded, and the playing CG of Red Dead Redemption was turned off, and Chu He picked up the mobile phone beside him.

A domestic news feed and a website.

"Joint name?" Looking at the news feed and the URL that was sent, Chu He couldn't help being stunned.

One is from the official forum of Tianhe Network, and the other is from the overseas public welfare website change.org.

As for the content, they are all the same. They are all petitions for Red Dead Redemption to land on the PC platform. After all, judging from the current news released by Tianhe Network, it is very likely that Red Dead Redemption does not have a PC platform plan, but is exclusive to the console.

Among them, on change.org, a total of more than 8 people have petitioned, and in the official forum of Tianhe Network, there are 51 petitions from players, and all of them are members of Tianhe Network.

Of course, this member user is not the same as Penguin's monthly renewal membership, but an account that has purchased Tianhe online games.

As for the petition on change.org, Chuhe just glanced at it. What really moved Chuhe was the petition from domestic players.

Compared with the host platform, it is obvious that more PC platforms are used in China, and because of official reasons, the host platform is still very cumbersome in China.

Although it is said that whether it is a Sony user or a box user, it is possible to change the host platform from the national server to other regions through some means, but it is still quite troublesome for most players.

"If these players know that Mr. Chu and we haven't finished even one-fifth of the progress of the game, do you think they will come and kill us?" Can't help but smile.

These players, so what are you looking forward to doing?

Petition to go to the PC platform. You must know that even one-fifth of the progress of the console platform has not been completed. Before the end of this year, it is already an incredible thing to be able to produce an EA version for internal testing.

"As long as you talk too much, hurry up and go to work." Chuhe pretended to be majestic, and gave the two of them a look.

One-fifth of progress?

This is too high to look at us, one-tenth is about the same.

With a curl of his lips, Chuhe began to send skillful tweets.

"We have received everyone's petitions. Thank you very much for your attention to Red Dead Redemption. But at present, our main plan is to complete the game. As for the PC plan, we will have it, but it is not now."

Chu He wrote this sentence on Twitter and Weibo at the same time, then thought about it and edited a 10-second CG video of a red man in the wild, and then added a sentence at the end.

'Finally, a small gift for everyone. '

After completing this series of actions, Chuhe nodded in satisfaction. As for the PC version, the follow-up team will be able to transplant it, but considering the follow-up BUG update of the console version and the production of DLC, the PC version will definitely Been behind for a long time.

But this is not important, just give the players an accurate answer, anyway, they will definitely not be working on the PC version now, at least they will not consider assigning a group of people to work on the PC version until the end of the entire project.
