Chapter 314 Online Mode
In terms of time, it is much easier to mess with than what Chuhe imagined. Originally, Chuhe was thinking about whether to introduce some other projects about Tianhe Network that are going on to mess with time.

But after announcing the latest online mode for Red Dead Redemption, among other things, the time is almost up.

After the live broadcast ended, Chuhe picked up a glass of water from the side, and then looked at the crowd who were still watching the fun. After all, some people even sat down on the ground regardless of their image for several hours.

"See, this is the live broadcast you expect from me. There is nothing interesting." Chu He spread his hands and said.

That is, the title of BOSS of Tianhe Network, otherwise the devil would come to watch my live broadcast.

Chuhe himself is self-aware of this.

"Actually, what's more interesting is about the online mode of Red Dead Redemption. Mr. Chu knows exactly what it looks like." Xu Chang, who was in charge of the expired online mode from Jianghu, said a little sadly.

Except for the people who knew the project team of Red Dead Redemption itself, everyone else looked very anxious.

There is no doubt that everyone is a game lover, and they have all played Red Dead Redemption, although because of the type of game, it can't impress everyone.

But there is no doubt that most people still like this game, and will praise it unreservedly.

Even on the day of the game's release, many people in Tianhe Network Company asked for leave, in order to be able to experience this masterpiece for the first time.

Now that the latest online mode information has been released, but they don't know what it is, it's very uncomfortable.

"It's actually an attempt by us. It's an innovative model, rather it's a whimsical design. I don't know whether it will be recognized by the players." Chuhe shook his head, looked at the crowd and said .

According to the vision of Chu He and the entire Red Dead Redemption team, the online mode will consist of countless mirrored battles, and each battle will accommodate up to 74 players.

In the game, players can choose to do what they want, such as joining the Pinkerton detective camp, or just being an ordinary person, or joining the gang camp.

Of course, this is a normal online mode. For example, in the same battle, players in the gang camp can choose to carry out a robbery plan together.

Also when the robbery plan mission appears, players who choose to join the Clinton agent camp will receive an opposite mission, which needs to stop gang players, kill or arrest them.

As for the players who do not choose to join Agent Clinton or the gang, they are more inclined to play casually or play freely. For example, these players can do good or bad things without any constraints.

Agent Clinton and gang players need to perform special missions, but players of the same gang camp and Agent Clinton camp can get better initial resources in the battle.

In the promotional video played during Chuhe's live broadcast before, it was about a confrontation mode gameplay in the online mode.

When players enter this confrontation mode, they will enter a brand new battle situation, and in the new battle situation, players will be assigned to two camps, which is of course different from the normal camp mode.

According to the idea of ​​Chuhe and the team, in the new mode, all players do not know other people's identities by default, and players will also have NPC dialogue templates.

That is to say, if possible, as long as the player's acting skills are high enough, he can pretend to be an NPC. Of course, such a setting is related to the final winning condition.

In a battle of 74 people in total, there are 48 people from the gang, and 26 people from the Pinkerton agent camp. It doesn't mean that you win if you wipe out the opponent.

Players in the Pinkerton Detective camp need to capture 2 gang players if they want to complete the mission and win. Gang players have two conditions to complete the mission and win. Kill 4 Pinkerton detectives without exposing themselves. members, or there are only 10 gang members left.

At the same time, both Agent Pinkerton and gang members can bribe or threaten each other to provide information for themselves.

For example, when every Pinkerton agent discovers a gang player, he can choose to make a PY transaction with the other party to get the news he wants.

Players in the Pinkerton agent camp have a special bond NPC. If they are discovered by players in the gang camp, they can have two choices.

The first is to find a way to rescue the fettered NPC, the second is to cooperate with the other party, and the third is to leave the battle after failing the mission.

Of course, just like the original intention of many game designs, who would know what it looks like?
Although Chuhe and the entire Red Dead Redemption team thought this online mode would be interesting, no one could tell whether it would be a violent death.

But basically the design concept of this mode is drawn from games such as werewolf killing, and also refers to the idea of ​​battle royale games.

And the core of the whole model is that no one knows who is who at the beginning.

Maybe you find that the ordinary NPC walking by is your enemy, or even the NPC you are looking for information on the street is your enemy, all of which are unknown.

Of course, in order to ensure that there will be no such situation as killing an NPC casually and trying to win a prize, a witness system has been added to the game.

For example, if you want to kill someone to get a prize, you can actually kill him, but if a witness finds you, just like in the story mode, you will be wanted.

And being wanted is not the most uncomfortable thing, the whereabouts of all wanted players will not be known to players in the same battle.

In addition, in order to prevent some people from concentrating on dogging, such as finding a cave and hiding until the end of time.

The game will carry out mandatory tasks, and will continue to release new information through some NPCs.

According to the test of the internal studio team, the game mode of a whole sentence usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes, which can be said to be very long.

…………

Compared with Chuhe, who is studying when the online mode will be launched, there are forums at home and abroad, including post bars and other places for players to communicate.

After the Chuhe live broadcast, there were more discussions about Red Dead Redemption, not only the content of the online mode released during the live broadcast, but also the plot, details and easter eggs in the game, all of which were dug out by the players one by one .

There are even people who make summaries for each character in the game.

Of course, the most discussed one is the online mode of Red Dead Redemption.

But in the absence of an official answer, everyone's opinion is different.

In the heated discussion among the players, Chuhe and the working team finally decided on the opening time of the online mode.

At the E3 game exhibition, the content about the online mode was released, and then the online mode was officially updated on the second day after the end of E3.

　It's another day of terrible overtime, I feel like I'm going to be bald... I feel helpless about the online mode of my big cousin, and the experience is extremely poor~
