Chapter 294 Three Demos
"Isn't this discussed? We sent it together." Looking at the information in the hard drive, Chuhe felt a little headache.

Although Chuhe basically does not interfere with the development of its various studios, it still communicates with Chuhe on some projects, at least letting Chuhe know what projects they are going to do.

In the order they were sent, Chu He leaned sideways on the chair, and then opened the sent files.

Regarding the new project of Longzu Studio, they have already determined the name of the project, which is called Prototype of Massacre.

Just like the name of the game project, even if they already know the type of game they are going to do, but judging from the 2-minute demo, Chuhe feels that this time they really let themselves go completely, or It's crazy to say the least.

Any game player, after watching this 2-minute demo, would never have imagined that the team that made this style of game was previously making Meteor Butterfly Sword, and it was pure martial arts and fairy swordsmanship like ancient swordsman, etc., in the Chinese style. game team.

The dark tone, the bloody and violent killing scenes, and the handsome protagonist are Chuhe's first impressions of this demo. Of course, the gameplay features of the game are also shown in the demo.

For example, destructible buildings, and cool-looking parkour, wall climbing, jumping, including 90-degree vertical climbing, these actions look super cool.

At the same time, the first version of the story of the whole game was also in the hands of Chu He. Although the game plot was carried out according to the suggestion given by Chu He at the beginning, and the protagonist became the villain BOSS, the plot of the whole story was not very good. It was a very old-fashioned routine. .

The whole background is a fictional parallel world. The government and federation set up a special secret force to study a virus, and then the virus suddenly spread out of control, and the government and federation began to eliminate the virus again.

The protagonist is a scientist in the virus project, and then wants to leave with a virus sample. When the army is shot and killed, the virus is smashed and most of the citizens in the city are infected.

It led to the emergence of various virus monsters, and then the protagonist came back from the dead and lost his memory, but gained powerful power, and was able to kill others and absorb their memories, and then the protagonist began to kill and eat all the way in order to find his own memory. In the end, I found out that I was the prototype of the virus.

It can be seen that the whole game is basically borrowed from the plot of Resident Evil, and its own routines are quite old-fashioned except that the protagonist himself is the real virus boss.

But cliche is cliche, it's not too bad, and the whole game is not a plot-oriented game.

"The development fund of 1500 million US dollars is enough to realize what they want." Chu He looked at the budget below and nodded slightly.

To be honest, this project is quite a big project for Longzu. It spent a sum of money to acquire visor studio from THQ. Everything on Jian Qi Xia has been invested in it.

As for the game itself, judging from what they provide, as long as it is a normal game level, you can basically look forward to it, and the probability of making this game bad is very small.

After all, on the one hand, Longzu's project team is not short of money. With the investment of 1500 million US dollars, plus the acquisition of talents in the visor studio, it can be said that this project requires money and technology.

If under such conditions, Longzu really made a mess, Chuhe would really have to clean it up.

As for TINGK's plan for Chuhe, he really didn't expect it.

It’s not the kind of mobile game that continues to use krypton gold cards as imagined. After the success of Commander, TINGK directly spent 1200 US dollars to acquire a well-known mobile game studio in the industry. It is probably the business of two games in a row. The huge success made TINGK feel that the money was a little panicked, or he learned that Chuhe is different from the boss of ordinary game companies.

The mobile game project they set up this time is an ARPG type game, and it is not the kind of mainstream domestic games that are free and charge for items. They want to make a buyout game, a console-level game for mobile platforms.

A sci-fi mech action mobile game.

$600 million in development costs?
Looking at the development cost budget, Chu He took a breath and then let it out. This development cost is basically higher than the commander's development cost.

But the difference is that Chuhe understands the difference between the two very well. The cost of the commander is more spent on voice actors and original paintings, and this game will really spend all the money on the game. .

Moreover, as a game with a buyout system, based on the current market, the main profit maker is the ios mall, because there are far more pirated users on Android than imagined.

If you have to use an analogy, the piracy of Android mobile games is even more ruthless than the previous domestic stand-alone piracy environment.

And an investment of 600 million US dollars, at least in the field of mobile games, is considered an extremely rare investment.

"It's a bit like Warframe, but it's different, and it looks interesting." Chu He blinked, thought for a while, and replied below, and replied on the communication software.

Can this game make money?
Chuhe is not clear, but there is a high probability that it will lose money. Facing the cracked version of the terminal game stand-alone, the bonus of domestic game labels, and the thin side of Tianhe Network, at least some famous websites, forums, and post bars will not have their own pirated games H.

But for mobile games, if it is not exclusive to IOS, it can be expected that it will be cracked on the day of release.

"600 million US dollars, according to this quality, even if you lose money, you won't lose much." Chu He shook his head and said.

After replying to Longzu and TINGK, Chuhe focused on the last attachment.

This is the demo sent by QD, about the demo of the interactive movie game they want to approve.

It's just a short 5-minute demo, get up, get dressed and go to the street, that's all for these 5 minutes.

There are no fights, no plot unfolding, and even the sound effects are crude.

But what really attracted Chuhe's attention was the picture in the game and the performance of the camera.

As if this is not a game, but a movie-like feeling.

A variety of picture special effects including motion blur and multiple depth of field are perfectly displayed in front of Chuhe. The 3D engine owned by the other party seems to have unique features in it.

In addition to the expressions of the characters in these games, the movements are also very brilliant.

As an interactive movie game, besides the picture, the most important thing is of course the plot.

But this 5-minute demo obviously has no way to show anything.

"Maybe it's time to go to Paris and see their results for yourself." Chu He rubbed his chin and thought.

Although it is not amazing, the demo provided by QD did impress him.
