Chapter 346 Non-profit reporting
It's not that simple to set up a project as big as Red Dead Redemption.

Funding is not a big problem, the most important thing is the assignment of tasks among the various teams, but it is still a bit early to say this, because so far this is just an idea of ​​Chuhe.

Red Dead Redemption made a real Westworld, but it wasn't enough.

Some gamers have always jokingly said that life is actually a game, everyone is playing Earth OL, the rich are probably the accounts of krypton gold bosses, and ordinary people should be zero-charged leopard heads.

Oh my god, that sounds reasonable.

In fact, Chuhe wanted to reproduce the reality, such as using the template of the Jinling Municipal Party Committee?

Create a game world where all the NPCs in the game speak Chinese, and then experience various exciting plots in the game?
Well, this kind of thought was only thought of for a moment.

If you really want to do it, it's not impossible to do it, but there are too many restrictions. Not only can you not pass the simple thing of the trial, but it is too troublesome to think about it.

"It may be a good idea to put the background in the universe for future science fiction themes." Chu He leaned on his chair and started his own conception.

When Chuhe was conceiving, Charles, who was located at the EA headquarters in Redwood City, San Francisco Bay, USA, and a group of EA executives breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Prototype as the head, coupled with the same few games that EA agents performed well, it can be said that it has almost stabilized the market's pessimism towards EA.

Although the market value of EA is still falling, the five-day moving average has turned into a wavy line instead of the downward slash when Andromeda's reputation exploded some time ago.

"How can Tianhe Network succeed in every game?" Sitting in front of the computer, Charles looked at the data report in front of him, feeling puzzled.

There are almost a dozen to twenty projects established in EA every year, and most of these projects are usually shot down during internal testing, and then the leftovers in the game are used as waste for other games.

In the end, it was produced by EA, and there are only a few games for players, and there will be many failures in these few games.

Of course, this failure is not a failure in sales, but that word of mouth and sales have not met EA's expectations, and a series of IPs cannot be built around it.

In recent years, what games has EA created that can become a series?

Dragon Age is one, but apart from Dragon Age?

It seems that there are no works that can be obtained.

However, EA has repeatedly failed in large-scale 3A masterpieces such as FPS and APRG, but the sports game with the highest market share in North America, in addition to FIFA, which is known to most players, includes Madden Rugby, EA Golf, and ice hockey. The series can be said to be quite successful.

But these games are successful, and although the sales are good enough, except for the FIFA series, the impact is really too small.

If you don't count the players in North America, even many players don't know what Madden Football, EA Golf and Ice Hockey series are.

Most players around the world still know Battlefield, The Sims, Need for Speed, and FIFA for EA.

This is why EA is more willing to invest funds in the field of ARPG and FPS to create 3A masterpieces, rather than increase investment in sports games that can be called model workers and earn both word-of-mouth and sales.

For Charles' confusion, if Chuhe knew, he could only shake his head.

Is EA's strength poor?

Of course it can't be bad, and even Tianhe Network's overseas branch and Jinling headquarters have many employees poached from EA.

The main reason is that EA's heart is too big, and the food is not very good-looking.

For example, the reputation of Mass Effect Andromeda exploded, mainly because it was linked to the IP of Mass Effect, which has changed too much.

From the original linear mode to an open world, and the entire plot of Andromeda has nothing to do with the previous work.

In addition to the background and the name of the game, Andromeda has nothing to do with Mass Effect at all.

But if you put aside the influence of IP such as Mass Effect and just look at the quality of the game, this game is actually not that bad, and it is actually quite interesting.

Compared with the previous Red Dead Redemption, the impact of the original massacre is actually not that great. If there is only something new, it is that the plot and the protagonist are anti-heroes.

In the current situation where most games are stereotyped protagonists and saviors, the plot of the anti-hero protagonist who slaughters the original form still adds a lot of points to this game.

A very interesting game, at least when the player is playing it, but after playing it, the player always feels that something is missing, and it cannot leave a deep impression in the player's mind. This is the original form of massacre The situation is gone.

But in Chuhe's mind, this is the original shape of massacre, which is not a classic game.

But this is indeed a qualified commercial game.Whether it is sales or popularity, it can be regarded as a qualified work.

"Mr. Chu, someone on the Internet has given us a rhythm."

In the office, Chuhe was still perfecting the idea of ​​Xinyou, when the communication software on the computer desktop popped up a pop-up window and a link.

The content of the article comes from Weibo and the official account of the media. As for the content, it mainly talks about how the plot of killing the original form is against humanity and will teach young people badly.

Regarding this kind of speech, with the development of the game industry and its entry into the right track, it has been seen in recent years, but in the period when Huaxia games were just emerging, there were countless such speeches, and countless people regarded games as The scourge, it seems that as long as you play the game, it will definitely become bad.

As a result, some existences such as Professor Yang and Professor Tao, who pretend to be professors but do things like livestock, have also emerged.

"Mr. Chu, we have received news that someone has made a lot of reports against us."

Chu He, who was sitting in front of the computer, looked at the message sent by the communication software, paused with the hand holding the mouse, and frowned.

The game industry, no, it should be said that all industries actually have similar situations.

Who reported it?

player?
Chuhe doesn't believe that even if some players participate in it, it's probably not organized spontaneously, but organized by someone with a heart.

As for who reported it, it is really difficult to find out, because the person who may even report you has no direct interest relationship with you.

This kind of phenomenon is not uncommon in China, including at major domestic game exhibitions, there are countless such secret reporting activities.

And in terms of interests, has the original form of massacre affected the interests of any domestic manufacturers?
On the surface, there is no such thing as this game has not even been reviewed in China, but it has been reported.

But it probably didn't go through the trial officially, so it gave others an excuse to report.

In fact, in addition to the original form of massacre, the previous Red Dead Redemption, including PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, have been reported.

To be honest, it is incredible that a popular game can not be reported.

This kind of thing has been experienced by many game manufacturers in China, and of course most of them have done it secretly.
