Chapter 76: Host?

There are too few domestic talents with experience and technology, or too few can be recruited, most of them are in the studios of NetEase and Penguin, and even this group of people is compared There is a big gap in the technology of high-end talents for game development abroad.

  Of course, if Prot and Pig are included in their two teams, then Chuhe’s Tianhe Network is also regarded as the top game development team in China.

  Listening to Chu He, Prote and Pig were all spreading hands.

   "Would you like to go to other exhibitions together?" Chu He felt a pity that he didn't get the results he wanted, but then said with great interest.

   My own exhibition area is Xu Chang, and there are no problems with the staff of the Cologne exhibition, and the feedback I want is basically understood.

   In addition to satisfy his curiosity, Chuhe really wanted to know whether other manufacturers have brought new works.

   did not go to EA and other exhibitions first, but Chuhe went to several domestic booths first.

The penguins led the old acquaintances of Chuhe, Wang He, the person in charge of WEGAME, but I can see that this time, the penguins still quite like the Cologne game show, not like NetEase and several other manufacturers. It's just that domestic online games are basically a visit to the Cologne exhibition to gain attention.

  To put it bluntly means exporting to domestic sales, and putting a layer of gold on your own money game.

  In addition to the penguin fantasy that it just acquired, Penguin also has a dedicated WEGAME exhibition area, among which many penguin-funded WEGAME exclusive games.

   Many of them are of good quality, and they are not purely domestically oriented, attracting many foreigners.

  Looking back at Wangyi, Chuhe just left for a while after watching the exhibition area.

   A martial arts online game, from the screen, it is indeed very good, and the game's CG is also very good, can be viewed as anime.

   But from the news heard from the domestic industry, think about the characteristics of the first few online games of NetEar, Chuhe does not need to think about what this game is really about.

   The same is true of several other manufacturers. Chu He has no way to say anything about this phenomenon. After all, for these companies, the game is just a commodity.

   What's more, the domestic environment itself is the case. If you want to change it, you can only make the environment into it. Manufacturers choose to make good games and make more money than doing these junk games.

   But how difficult is it to make the whole environment like this?

   Even if it is the development of foreign games in recent years, the direction of the wind has changed somewhat.

   "The actual picture of the game is pretty good, but I just don't know how to play it." I came out of the NetEase exhibition area and said to Prote next to the Chu River.

   "Of course not bad, after all, NetEase is said to have invested more than 300 million in this project, which may be exaggerated, but there are almost 200 million RMB." Chu He listened to Prote.

  Is the investment in online games large?

   In fact, all games are the same, say big but big, say small but small.

   Invested hundreds of millions of online games, dare not say too much, but there are definitely many in China.

   And because the market is different, even if the online games are very garbage, but as long as the game screen is good enough compared with similar online games, powerful first-tier manufacturers can also use them to make money.

   But stand-alone, it will not work, this is the characteristics brought by different player groups.

   So domestic manufacturers, no one has intentionally invested a lot of money to try the stand-alone field.

  Did you say that the game project department of Wangyi and Penguin is short of money?

   is certainly not lacking, but because of the complicated group relationship, these projects simply cannot pass the review.

   The trouble of project application and the consequences of failure are all very important factors.

  People who have no skill and fame, even if they have made a project application form, it is impossible to pass.

  And those who have the ability and fame, there are too many things to worry about, such as the consequences of the project failure, and may even make him unable to settle in the domestic game circle, these are too realistic things.

After leaving the net billion exhibition area, Chuhe first went to Blizzard's exhibition area, and did not bring much shocking news. Since the release of Diablo 2, in addition to several patch updates to the Frozen Throne of Warcraft 3, no matter It is speculated by the outside world that StarCraft 2, Diablo 3 and that mysterious World of Warcraft, all have little news.

  As for asking the person in charge of the Blizzard project, the replies received are also planned, and are being done internally, so stay tuned for this kind of rhetoric.

In contrast, Ubisoft and EA have made a lot of changes. Ubisoft’s project guessed that the latest series of Assassin’s Creed ready to be released in October. This time the assassins returned to 1715. Caribbean of the Year~www.readwn.com~ According to the trailer released by Ubisoft, this time the player will play the young and frivolous rebel assassin Edward Kenway, and also the grandfather of the former protagonist Connor Kenway.

From the beginning, Assassin's Creed has many shadows of the Prince of Persia, but after its peak of the Aegean trilogy, Assassin's Creed has been sold globally, and it has become one of Ubisoft's most classic IPs. The leap of faith has also become a signboard.

   "Compared with the works of the contemporary era, the picture of the Black Flag is not qualified. It may not have developed all the functions of the host, but it can be seen that Ubisoft has great ambitions this time." Prote next to him said.

The platforms on which Black Flag is landing are mainly host platforms. Among them, Microsoft’s XBOXONE and Sony’s PS4 are new consoles that have just been released. The major game manufacturers are still far from digging their functions. Among them, Black Flag is also the first A batch of games that boarded a new era console.

   An undeniable problem, although the single-player games are enough in the audience of the PC, but such as Assassin's Creed, and a series of European and American Japanese single-handed masterpieces, the main sales are still derived from the host platform.

   "The new platform will not appear so quickly, it can completely squeeze the host's performance into monster-level games." Chu He nodded and said.

  The host game Chu River's Tianhe Network actually has plans in this regard. Both Sony and Microsoft have found the Tianhe Network, wanting them to transplant the famine to the host platform, and they will provide development prototypes and provide technical support.

   But because the main work at that time was on the development of "Jianghu", Chuhe did not immediately agree.

   "You said that our Tianhe network technology can try to develop games on the host platform?" Chu He asked toward Prote next to him.
