Chapter 296 Press Conference

"Are all the prototypes you developed are Sony platforms?" Chu He noticed something and asked.

"We have always had a relatively close cooperative relationship with Sony." Cage was taken aback for a moment, then said.

So, there is a PY deal with Sony, and the game is exclusive to the Sony platform.

This is not news. For example, after the games of third-party manufacturers are monopolized by Microsoft and Sony, players will find that when those manufacturers face questions, they often say such a sentence at the game conference.

'Because the game specifically takes advantage of the hardware performance of the XX platform, on which we use all the SPU, I think it will be very difficult for us to make the game run on the XX platform, we will not be able to squeeze a lot of things into it. '

After all, they can't just say that the money given by the XX platform is much older, so our games will only be released on the XX platform.

"Games on Tianhe Network do not require the monopoly of a certain platform, nor do they require monopoly fees. The only requirement is the quality of the game." Chu He looked at Cage and said.

"The cost of 600 million US dollars, the development of a part of the game first, I need to see the actual effect of the game, at least the effect demonstrated in the DEMO." Chu He looked at Cage and said.

Although several studios have been acquired in a row, new projects have been established, and the promotion budget for Red Dead Redemption in the later stage, 2000 million US dollars is still available for Tianhe Network.

But first of all, the current QD has not proven itself, nor has it brought in any income. Although the plan does seem to have something, at least we have to look at the actual effect of the game.

After all, it is not uncommon for the demo DEMO to be much better than the actual game.

To give a more typical example, for example, the cavalry on the back of a dragon developed by Yoko Taro under the leadership of Square Enix, the CG demonstration at that time can be said to have excited countless players.

Even its CG was stolen by a large number of domestic page game manufacturers at that time, but in fact the quality of the game itself can be said to have shrunk seriously.

CG and games are not products of the same dimension at all.

The DEMO demonstration given by Cage to Chuhe looks amazing, but Chuhe does not hope that this project will be like a cavalry on the back of a dragon.

The initial development funds of 600 million US dollars are enough for them to make part of the content. If the quality of the game meets the requirements and satisfies Chuhe, then the follow-up funds will be credited as soon as possible.

But if Chuhe thinks it's purely for fun, then the project will naturally be canceled immediately, the loss will be stopped in time, and then the personnel in the studio will be changed.

In terms of game investment or production, Chuhe can satisfy the development team as much as possible, but if it is a joke for him, then don't blame him.

Regarding the request given by Chuhe, Cage and others did not have any surprises or other emotions, but were very excited.

Although only $600 million was given for initial development, it seems normal to Cage and the others. In most cases, after a project is approved, it will be accompanied by a large number of tests. We cannot say that Complete the entire project before starting the test. Generally, one-third or one-fourth of the progress is made first, and then a secret test is carried out. If the response is good, then continue. If the response is poor, then the project will be stopped. , stop loss in time.

On the second day after Chu He left QD, the funds of 600 million US dollars in the project account were already in place.

At the same time, the new project name has been determined after the team's internal negotiation-"Heavy Rain", this is their first work after being acquired, and it is also a work of the entire QD transformation.

…………

When QD, Long Zu, and TINGK started to determine new projects and started to develop them, Chuhe, Gabriel and Plott continued to determine the next adjustments and other plans for Red Dead Redemption in the Black Light Studio, and then returned to the project. The domestic Jinling.

As for the reason, a press conference about Tianhe Network will be held soon, including the latest progress of Red Dead Redemption, as well as new projects of TINGK, Longzu and QD, which will be announced to the public.

There are some promotional purposes, but more is to give the majority of players an accurate message, and to deal with the corresponding game media.

Just after the end of TGA, players from all over the world are asking about the latest progress of Red Dead Redemption, and the game media has much more information channels, including EA getting the release of Red Dead Redemption and sending it to various countries for review The news of the agency's rating review has already been obtained.

Including gamespot, IGN, domestic game star sky, player paradise and other game media, various interview applications, including game secret evaluations, have never been interrupted.

In addition, we also discussed with EA about the release time of Red Dead Redemption and the popularity of publicity, so there was this press conference.

And this is just the beginning. After the Tianhe network conference, EA will also hold an annual press conference, in which Red Dead Redemption is also one of the protagonists.

The press conference will be held at [-] o'clock on Friday night, China time. The on-site press conference is not open to the public except for the invited media. Of course, Tianhe Network has official live broadcast rooms and hosts on all major live broadcast platforms, including Overseas rats will broadcast it in real time at that time.

Although it was just a press conference, before it started, there were still a lot of concerned players pouring into the major live video sites. The popularity and popularity seemed a bit exaggerated, but the dense barrage still showed that Tianhe Network domestic appeal.

Ye Qing, who has been doing well in the single-player department of the game Starry Sky, also got the invite to the Tianhe Network conference this time, checked the equipment on one side, put the work card around his neck, and walked into the lobby of the Kylin Software Park.

"I don't know what news Tianhe Network will announce this time. Is there a specific release time for Red Dead Redemption?" Entering the middle of the exhibition hall, Ye Qing chatted with the reporter from the Player's Paradise next to him.

Although the two companies compete in business, it is a high-level matter and has nothing to do with small employees like them. There are even frequent job-hopping between the two reporters.

"It should be. The gossip says that EA has obtained the distribution rights of Red Dead Redemption, and has already conducted rating reviews around the world." The reporter from the Player Paradise nodded and said in a low voice.

Compared with the guesses of the reporters at the scene, the guesses of the players on the live broadcast website are obviously much more whimsical.

'In other words, this press conference will not specifically tell us, everyone, don't worry, Red Dead Redemption is doing it, and we will be able to see it soon.This kind of news, right? '

'Are you a devil? '

'If this is really the case, don't mention it, I will take the knife and go to Jinling Qilin Garden tomorrow. '

'Speaking of which, I don't know if Red Dead Redemption can pass the review in China. The trailers that have been shown a few times before feel a bit suspenseful. '

'It doesn't matter if you fail the review, you can use Alipay for the Hong Kong server of the Sony mainframe. '

'Hmph, why stress Sony?Alipay can also be used on our super hard host! '

'Ren Fan looked at you and shivered, expressing that Ren Fan also wanted to play Red Dead Redemption. '

'Take a rest, everyone, the press conference has begun!Turn off the barrage to protect your IQ, watch the press conference seriously! '

He didn't say anything about wearing a suit, just wearing a white sports suit. Chu He stepped onto the stage and picked up the microphone.
