Chapter 481 Open MOD Environment
"How exciting it would be if the Battle of Helm's Deep and the Battle of Palenno Plains were re-released with this game!"

Yes, he is a big fan of "The Lord of the Rings", whether it is a movie or a game or a novel.

In fact, in the movie, the grand war scene is thrilling, but he feels that it is not as good as the description in the original novel.

At the same time, the official Lord of the Rings game produced by Microsoft Games and Warner Bros., although both the graphics and the background style of the game are satisfactory, but the most shocking battle scene is not so shocking.

Including the custom map of war3, and so on, he has played mods similar to Lord of the Rings, but they are not satisfactory.

If you have to say something that you are more satisfied with, the world of Tianhe Network is not bad, and he also entered the game of Tianhe Network at that time.

But this time, he saw a different scene.

Tens of thousands of war scenes, and I can also act as soldiers to join the war, instead of simply passing an offensive and defensive order, or frame countless soldiers to level A.

How shocking should this be?

Although I haven't played the game yet, although I haven't announced the release date, and even the level of MOD support, Tianhe Network has not made a clear announcement.

But Ronald has already made up in his own brain, and he is so excited that he can't help himself.

"John, have you watched the press conference about Tianhe Network? I want to hire some people to develop the MOD of Tianhe Network. Do you think 50 pounds is enough?" After calling his good friend, Ronald still Maintaining a very excited mood, he asked.

If you invest tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, to develop a game, you have to obtain the IP authorization of the Lord of the Rings.

Well, even if his family could afford the money, if he dared to tell his father like this, then he would definitely not want the pocket money for next month.

But spending hundreds of thousands of pounds to make a non-profit MOD and make a small toy of your own is not a big problem.

Compared with pure fan players like Ronald, people in the industry were stunned by what Tianhe Network showed.

MOD strategy?

How does this approach give people a sense of déjà vu?

Everyone couldn't help feeling a sense of familiarity in their hearts.

When Famine and the world became popular abroad, in addition to their excellent quality, isn't it more about their support for MOD?

Especially in the world, even now there are still countless MOD producers developing and producing new MODs, and there are also countless players immersed in the world of MODs.

Compared with ordinary players, they are immersed in the fantasy of whether 1 Hatsune wives will fight 1 Luo Tianyi wives, or 1 Spartan brothers and sisters will fight 1 demon kings.

MOD makers see more from what Tianhe Network expresses.

A more open environment.

Most of the game mods exist only as a replacement for the game model, but in the display of Tianhe Network's war two parts, it seems that Tianhe Network hopes that they can create gameplay based on their own games.

Of course, these are all just imaginations.

The Cologne Game Show press conference about Tianhe Network was still on-site. After introducing the games about the War series, Chuhe handed over the stage to others.

The new work "The Outer Worlds" of Blacklight Studio led by Gabriel, and the new work of Platinum Studio, these Galaxy games will also bring more information to players around the world on this stage.

"Excellent quality, the game screen at dawn and the effect of the physics engine are shocking." Chu He walked off the stage to the backstage, and Charles, who didn't know when he came, said to Chu He.

"Aren't you going to your EA showroom?" Looking at Charles in the backstage, he was a little surprised when he took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"There is a special person in charge, and I also want to see what you want to show. After all, this is also a part of our EA. I have to say that it is really surprising." Charles said sincerely.

He is not a technician, but he is also in this line of work after all, and he can see the strength of Tianhe Network.

Hearing what Charles said, Chuhe smiled and said nothing.

"However, regarding your war series, do you really plan to log on to the host platform?" Charles asked while looking at Chuhe.

You must know that they still want to qualify these two games for global distribution, but if they do not land on the host platform, they will not be so attractive.

After all, games on the PC platform have basically gone digital now, and the physical version is mostly just for collection.

As for whether the host platform will one day cancel CDs and make digital games mainstream, Charles doesn't know, but what is certain is the huge chain of interests, so that such things should not be considered for at least ten years.

"The host platform is not very suitable for the restrictions of some gameplay in the game, and just like what was said at the press conference, we will focus on the MOD gameplay for these two games." Chuhe looked at Charles and said.

Not logging in to the host is a plan that Chuhe came up with after a long discussion with Ruins Studio and Shuilei Studio.

For this reason, they also stopped some of the content that had been developed before.

At the same time, the two teams have also had close communication on the focus of the entire game. The original technology simplifies the gameplay mode of the game while highlighting the open environment of the game.

If it's just an ordinary independent game, or a game produced by a small factory, maybe they won't dare to do this, because the premise of doing this is that the game itself will attract enough 'makers' to fill it.

The world, Left [-] Dead, and the previous internal staff of Tianhe Network, two Chinese employees, one Polish employee, and one Swedish employee produced a sandbox game origin module.

Today's sales have exceeded 2000 million, and its main gameplay is MOD with a high degree of freedom.

Hearing what Chuhe said, Charles nodded slightly.

It sounds like a great idea to focus on MOD, but in fact it is not easy to create a game that can give MOD a rich soil.

On the one hand, it is related to the consequences of the open source game, and on the other hand, it is also a very important reason, that is, the coordination between the game and the MOD.

These are the consequences that the manufacturer needs to consider. It may even ruin a game because of the opening of MOD. Therefore, although it is clear that MOD will continue the vitality of the game and attract players, it really supports the manufacturers whose games are compatible with MOD. Not many.

Because this is a very risky thing, everyone is happy if it succeeds, but it is no small matter if it fails.

"By the way, when are these two games going to be released? Have you ever considered landing on our Origin?" Charles asked Chuhe.

Chuhe looked to the side with his head: "ah? When will it be released? According to the current progress, it may be released next year."

As for the beginning of next year or the end of the year, I don't know.
