Chapter 351 Release of Heavy Rain
Department by department moved to the new building, and the projects in hand also temporarily stopped.

This is really a big project. The headquarters of Tianhe Network is okay, but TINGK in Shanghai and Longzu can do it.

And in the day when Tianhe Network moved, a comprehensive publicity had been carried out about the rainstorm.

According to the original process, EA, which is responsible for the global distribution of Heavy Rain, handed over the full version of the game to EA Huaxia, and then applied to the relevant department for review.

As for the final result, EA was almost crying, and finally passed the trial successfully once!

It's been two years!Starting from the Road to Survival, followed by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Red Dead Redemption, Prototype, a Huaxia game company, and a single game failed to pass the review, and this time the heavy rain finally passed the review, although the process was very tortuous.

When it was submitted for review for the first time, Rainstorm Soldiers failed the domestic review, and it wasn't pure bloody violence. Although there were some related scenes in Rainstorm, they were basically not too much.

The main reason for being crossed by the review department is pornography. In some plots in the game, female characters will be naked, and there are close-up shots. Although there is no OOXX plot, it is too obvious.

After all, this kind of blatantness is too ostentatious, and even if you express it, you have to be a little more reserved. For example, when you tear your clothes in a big movie, and it is exposed, and it is accompanied by an ecstasy expression, it is definitely impossible for you. Audited.

Do you have to keep a low profile, for example, if we delete the revealing scenes and keep the expressions of tearing clothes and ecstasy, won't it be easier to pass the review?

It's not the first day for EA's subsidiary in China to deal with relevant departments. After the audit failed, it mentioned this to the headquarters, and then EA headquarters mentioned this to Chuhe of Tianhe Network.

However, because the game was in charge of the QD studio in Paris, Chuhe did not intervene, so regarding the provision of a special version, after Chuhe contacted QD to explain the situation, QD hurriedly released a special version to the Bank of China.

It is said to be a special version, but there is actually no change, only a few clothes have been added, and a few close-up shots have been changed. Other than that, the game has no different changes.

In terms of publicity, the rainstorm is not as big as killing the original form, and the rainstorm does not need to kill the original form on the scale of publicity.

But for domestic players, they feel that there are advertisements for heavy rain everywhere, including professional game media websites such as Game Star and Player Paradise, as well as corresponding post bars, forums and other places, and they can see advertisements for heavy rain almost every day.

No way, who made the rainstorm pass the domestic audit successfully?
Sony Mall and Microsoft Mall have all opened pre-orders for Rainstorm.

However, compared to the players' expectations for this game, some domestic industry insiders maintain a state of watching the game.

Few people are optimistic about such a game.

How big is the market for interactive movie games?

At the same time, few people are optimistic about EA, which won this game.

Everyone is not outside the industry, and it is clear what price EA paid for this game.

Not a small agency fee, and promotion fee. According to the game price of 49.9 US dollars, EA wants to make back its capital and start to make a profit. This game must sell more than 200 million copies to be profitable.

Similarly, if Tianhe Network wants to return its capital, and its profit must reach this figure.

Based on the current reputation of Tianhe Network in the game industry, 200 million copies should be a matter of time, but after experiencing the hot-selling games such as Red Dead Redemption and Prototype, if the sales of Heavy Rain are not so good, it is not good for Tianhe Network. A very good thing.

As for EA, let alone, an EA that almost hit Andromeda didn’t get over it, and finally came a massacre prototype to help him breathe for a while, if this rainstorm doesn’t meet EA’s expectations As a result, EA really vomited blood.

Not to mention the explosion in sales, but at least in the mouths of players, it must be a good game, a game worthy of praise.

But for an interactive movie game, can it really be done?
All are skeptical.

This type of game is really too small, and the cost of all this type of games in the world for a year may not be half of that of a 3A masterpiece.

And QD, the heavy rain, invested 2000 million U.S. dollars, which is a crazy move in everyone's eyes.

"The pre-sale is only 40 copies." On the day of the official release, looking at the final statistics, Charles at the EA headquarters in Redwood City took a deep breath.

Is this number low?

Not low, compared to the general game, the pre-sale can reach 40 copies, which is already a data worthy of celebration.

But this is a game of Tianhe Network, and you have to know the truth about the previous massacre, the pre-sale alone has already exceeded one million.

The huge contrast makes Charles a little worried, and even this data has not been released to the public.

Although this is a normal figure, compared with the millions of sales of the previous massacre prototype, even if it is normal, some related media can call it abnormal in order to attract traffic.

…………

"Interactive movie game, is this what it looks like? It feels a bit boring."

Yang Chen, who came home from get off work, turned on his Sony console, slept on the bed holding the handle in his hand, and followed the prompts to manipulate the protagonist, he couldn't help but yawned.

Although I knew it was a beginner's guide stage, and I already knew what interactive movie games were before I bought them, but the slow pace really made people feel boring.

To say that the only bright spot is the picture, as well as character modeling and expressions.

It was so real, if it wasn't for the reminder button next to it, he would have thought he was watching a movie.

"No, this novice level is too long." Seeing a prompt pop up every now and then, telling you how to operate, Yang Chen felt a little confused.

How good is the original form of the previous massacre, just do it when you come up, and do whatever you want.

But this torrential rain is also a little bland.

I regret it a little bit, I should not have pre-ordered it if I knew it earlier, I should have seen what the game is like in advance.

Looking at the game screen on TV, Yang Chen felt a trace of regret in his heart.

But it’s more than 300 oceans anyway, let’s play and see, it’s really not up to your appetite, it’s better to trade second-hand discs with others for other masterpieces.

While playing, Yang Chen thought until he reached the end of the prologue, where the protagonist Ethan and his eldest son had a car accident.

　I just received the news that my brother is getting divorced. I can't figure it out. I just got married and divorced after 3 months. It's terrible.

　　Let the game accompany me~
