Chapter 77 Surprise and surprise news
"It's hard, at least it's hard now. Our technology itself is not as good as others, and with the new generation of consoles, even if the new technology has technical support from the manufacturer, the changes in the game engine and the optimization in the later stage are all very important issues. "Prot shook his head and said.

He himself has experience in console game development, and he knows that compared to PC game development, it is very difficult to develop on consoles.

At least with the current personnel technology of Tianhe Network, it is really a nightmare level of difficulty.

Of course, this does not mean that the development of the PC platform is simpler than that of the console.

In fact, the game development of PC platform and console platform has a very extreme flavor.

For console platforms, the development difficulty is the lowest for home consoles, because the hardware indicators of home consoles are all fixed, and the development team does not have to face various compatibility tests, and follow-up patch upgrades and other painful things.

Although the initial cost is high enough, once the team gets started and understands the development process of the console, they can basically use it until the end of its life. The cost of the entire console generation is actually lower than that of PCs.

But the most critical problem is that it is difficult to get started and easy to upgrade.

The PC is the opposite. It seems that the threshold is low. All kinds of independent gamers can develop games on the PC. The cost also increases with the improvement of hardware.

Simply put, the PC platform is easy to get started, but difficult to upgrade.

Different platforms constitute two extremes.

"Mr. Chu, if we want to develop console games, the best choice is to acquire a more powerful studio in the industry." Prot suggested.

"Let's talk about this follow-up, the company is poor!" Chu He said with a sigh in his heart after hearing Plot's words.

The acquisition of a powerful game studio in the industry is different from the previous acquisition of Longzu.

I don’t like the small studios without strength. The price of a medium-sized studio with strength is tens of millions of dollars, or even over [-] million dollars. The current Tianhe Network can’t afford it.

Listening to Chuhe's words, the corners of Plot's mouth twitched.

Really poor?
Thinking of the company's revenue reported by the financial department at the company collective meeting the day before the Cologne Game Show, Plott turned around silently.

But Chuhe also made a decision in his heart. After the Cologne Game Show, he returned to the company and started to set up a new game studio and start developing mobile games.

If you want to make a good game, how can you do it without technology?How can I do without money?
Originally, I wanted to wait for a while before entering the mobile game, but now this step should be brought forward.

What luxury cars, mansions, Chuhe himself really didn't think about it, saying that he is also a billionaire, but his life is still like a house.

Up to now, the house is just a high-rise, not a villa; the car used for transportation is only four circles of 80 million yuan, not a luxury car with several million yuan.

I have to say that this year's Cologne Games Show didn't have any big breakout points. It was roughly the same as what players predicted on the Internet before. They were all games that had already had some rumors, and they were chosen to be placed on the Cologne Games Show. broke the news.

"That annoying ghost is here again." At this time, Pig whispered to Chuhe and Plott next to him.

I saw the annoying bald Renault walking towards them.

"Humph!"

Chuhe thought that the other party was here to make trouble and mock him, but what he didn't expect was that when passing by a few people, the other party just paused for a while, then let out a disdainful 'hum', and walked straight towards the interior of the exhibition hall up.

"What does he mean?" Chu He looked at Plot and Pig next to him, and said a little confused.

"I don't know." Plott and Pig were also a little confused.

Afterwards, several people from Chuhe visited the exhibition again, including some first- and second-tier manufacturers, who chose to release the latest news of their works at the exhibition, which showed the latest progress of the game, but because the content and gameplay needed to be kept secret, it was forbidden The media and players personally use mobile phones to take pictures.

It is obviously not possible to visit all the exhibition areas in one day, so Chuhe and the others just visited the exhibitions that are relatively close to them.

"President Chu, there are domestic reporters over there, and they want to interview you." After Chu He and Plott returned to their exhibition area, Xu Chang walked over and said to Chu He.

In the rest area, reporters from Players Paradise, Game Star and other websites are waiting there.

There were not many surprises for Chuhe. As one of the few game manufacturers participating in the Cologne Game Show, they naturally had this kind of treatment.

And Chuhe also needs these game media to expose Tianhe Network's new work "Jianghu".

"Hello, Mr. Chu!"

After seeing Chuhe, everyone stood up and said hello.

"It's getting late, and the first day of the exhibition is about to end. If you have any questions, just ask. I'll tell you everything you can." Chu He said to everyone with a smile.

It wasn't an interview meeting or a press conference, so most of the questions asked were casual and mainly focused on the game, but obviously they had passed it in advance, and probably what questions to ask had already been discussed.

"Mr. Chu, we also tried "Jianghu" today. The physics engine in it can be said to be very real, and even shocking. We would like to ask whether everything in "Jianghu" can be destroyed or not. Only the content of the trial part of the game today can be destroyed?" A reporter asked.

Although "Jianghu" provides a trial version, it is not the full version, including the battle and the plot, which are only partly shown. Of course, this part will not be played by players even if the Cologne game exhibition is held for a few days.

"Of course, thanks to our self-developed game engine, scene destruction is the main feature. Even the main players have enough perseverance to dig through a mountain and fill a lake." Chuhe nodded and said.

"Mr. Chu, we found that every opening in the game is a different life? Does this mean that players have multiple random openings?"

Hearing this question, Chu He smiled and shook his head: "Multiple? To be more precise, it should be countless. According to the questionnaire at the beginning of the game, players can choose to randomly generate characters, or choose their own place of birth. You may He came from a decent family, maybe from a merchant family, or maybe a beggar who lives in nowhere."

In an uproar, hearing Chuhe's words, the reporters present couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in their hearts.

Judging from the performance of today's trial play, the quality of the game is already good enough, and now if Chuhe's words are true, and it's not a big cake, then this game is really amazing!
Is Huaxia Games really going to have an awesome game?

"Mr. Chu, we found that there is a multiplayer mode in "Jianghu", can you introduce it? Is it similar to "Meteor Butterfly Sword"?"

Chuhe shook his head: "I won't say much about this, anyway, it will be a very innovative game mode, and everyone will know when it is officially launched."

Then everyone asked some questions about "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and the new DLC of "Famine".

Of course, the main problem is still focused on "Jianghu". As for the video and pictures of the game, with Chuhe's permission, the on-site demo video will also be published. However, Chuhe has made a small request on this point. That is the picture that tries to choose the picture that foreign players are surprised in the trial room.

However, after the interview was over, Chu He, who was about to go back to the hotel with everyone at the end of the exhibition on the first day, got a very unexpected and pleasant news from the person in charge of the exhibition.

　Ubisoft games really buy early and enjoy early, and buy late for free, um~ Steam platform Soul of Glory is free~ Speaking of the Meteor Butterfly Sword in the article, I obviously borrowed part of the setting of Soul of Glory, so there is no Did anyone find out?
