Video Game Designer

Those who can come to the scene are basically the media in the game industry, not only domestic, but also foreign game media.

And besides them, some game industry practitioners also took the initiative or were invited to the scene.

Compared with pure fans, they are obviously much more sensible, at least there will be no such situation of cheering at any time or applause that can't stop.

"I know that everyone is here today because they want to know the latest news about Red Dead Redemption, as well as some plans for Tianhe Network in the future. Don't worry, there will be all of these." Chuhe said to everyone present with a microphone.

"But before that, I have to announce some data to you." Chu He turned his body slightly, and at the same time the big screen behind him lit up.

‘To date, we have invested more than $120 million in development costs for Red Dead Redemption, and we have more than 3,500 employees around the world contracted to work on Red Dead Redemption. '

As Chuhe's words fell, the big screen behind him showed photos one by one, including photos of studios or outsourcing teams from various countries, and finally the picture stayed on the photos of employees of Tianhe Network Headquarters.

'More than 1,500 actors provided the character models and motion capture of Red Dead Redemption; including the stories in Red Dead Redemption, our screenwriter team spent more than half a year, including the game's story, character design, background and details The setting exceeds the content of 20,000 sheets of A4 paper. '

Actors wearing person-sensing devices in the motion capture studio are recording motions, and finally piled up paper higher than people in the black light studio.

"The production cycle lasted more than a year, so we brought a real western world, the whole process will exceed 70 hours of the main line process, strictly speaking, this is also the first 3A work of Tianhe Network. '

Chuhe said with a smile while holding the microphone in his hand.

The big screen behind it changed again, this time it was not a photo, but a 30-second video.

The scenery of the west, the train of the last century, the desperate gunman, the final picture is frozen on the black and red background wall, with the name of the game written on it.

'Dead Man's Hand'

There was applause at the scene, but it was the kind that went to the end, and it only lasted about three or four seconds.

But on the major live broadcast websites, the mood of the players is not so peaceful.

'Damn it! Awesome! At first, I thought it was awesome, but now I heard Mr. Chu talk about the development of Red Dead Redemption, it’s not just awesome! '

‘The development cost of 150 million U.S. dollars is so ruthless! '

'Stop talking, this year's DNF Spring Festival set, I want to buy three sets, and I will support Red Dead Redemption. '

‘It is said that the development cost is 150 million U.S. dollars, which is less than 1 billion yuan when converted into RMB. Are 3A masterpieces so cheap? '

‘The brother upstairs has a gold mine? With a development cost of 900 million RMB, is this TM still cheap? And this is only the development cost, the promotional cost in the later period, can't afford 100 million US dollars? '

'You forgot? A while ago, Wangyi and Penguin announced that they were going to start creating a client game again? And it's a 3A-level quality end game costing 1 billion. '

‘Can you stop mentioning Wangyi and Penguin on this occasion, it’s disgusting. '

'I don't understand why Mr. Chu likes to cooperate with Penguin so much. Many projects of Tianhe Network have PY transactions with wegame. '

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs, I am an employee of wegame operation. Although wegame is owned by Penguin, it has nothing to do with Penguin Games. We operate as an independent company, and we have no relationship with Tianhe Network. The cooperative Huaxia Star Project does not dare to say that there is no commercial profit plan, but at least it is really doing things, and it has really supported a group of independent game producers and teams who have potential but have financial difficulties. We are going to cooperate with Microsoft and Sony, and try to support and cooperate with the host platform. '

Regarding the players' eager discussions, Chuhe didn't know, he was still introducing what Tianhe Network should bring out in this press conference.

"Of course, today's press conference cannot be so simple as to say how much energy we have spent on this project. Next, I will come up with something sincere." Chu He took the microphone, paused and then In the expectant eyes of the media and players, he said loudly: "The real machine test video of Red Dead Redemption, I believe this is what you have been waiting for for a long time."

With Chuhe's voice falling, the lights of the entire venue suddenly dimmed, and a new picture began to play on the big screen behind the voice of the narration.

The LOGO of Tianhe Network, Black Light Studio and other companies involved in the production of Red Dead Redemption also appeared on the screen, and the EA release logo appeared at the same time.

"Wow!"

It wasn't just the entire media that cheered, but also the players around the world who were sitting in front of their computers watching Tianhe Network's press conference, also cheered.

Although there are all kinds of gossip, such as EA winning the distribution rights of the game, such as the game has been reviewed for ratings, but it is just gossip, and today there is no doubt that the news has been officially announced.

The Red Dead Redemption they were looking forward to is really not far away.

While everyone cheered, the video continued to play, just like what Chu He said, this is the video of the actual test.

It is completely presented from the player's first perspective, and even the UI in the game is not covered by post-processing.

Everyone knows that this is the actual picture. The picture and quality displayed in the game now will be the same in the games they buy and play in the future, and even better, because Tianhe Network still has time to develop Keep grinding.

"Has the actual screen of Red Dead Redemption reached this point?"

Looking at the picture on the big screen, the media reporters present were all shocked.

Although they knew that Red Dead Redemption, which cost more than 100 million U.S. dollars, had absolutely top-notch graphics, but no one expected it to be able to reach such a level.

Compared with God of War, which just won the best year, and the aura that swept all the records on the Microsoft platform, Red Dead Redemption is better at least from the screen. I am afraid that this has already squeezed out the performance of Sony and Microsoft's consoles. Bar.

Compared with the media, more players don't have a concept in their hearts, such as what such a picture means, what kind of light and shadow they don't know.

For most players, the criteria for judging the screen is basically based on first impressions and intuition.

And there is no doubt that at least on the screen, Red Dead Redemption has given players such an impression.

Shelber was standing in front of the computer at this moment, although it was already noon in the United States, and his mother had just called him down for lunch.

But he still didn't move. He was already attracted by the trial video of Red Dead Redemption in the video.

He had no interest in the history, or stories, of the historical American West.

In fact, he hates the kind of plot-oriented games. He prefers to pick up a gun and play games, such as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Battlefield, and COD. He is a fan player who attaches great importance to it.

But at this moment, he was completely attracted by the Westworld in the video.

Can games be so real?

Thinking of what I just saw in the game, the characters manipulated by the player walk on the snow-covered ground, and the footprints left are completely different; from the NPC in the game, the protagonist, and the heat exhaled by the horse in the snow will condense .

In rainy and snowy weather, NPC pedestrians on the street will find a place to hide, even in thunderstorm weather, accompanied by lightning and thunder, horses will be frightened.

When encountering wolves in the wild, the horses are frightened and afraid to leave the protagonist and run away.

The accumulation of these details, coupled with the awesome picture, gives people the feeling that this is not a game world, but a real western world.

Sherber's eyes were wide open. The simple five-minute test video of the real machine basically showed the situation of the game, and did not reveal too much content, such as what the combat mode is like, and what the plot of the game is. .

It's just wandering around the city in the game, but even this hardcore is enough to excite all the players who are looking forward to it.

Of course, compared to the content of the game, what Chuhe announced next made the players even more excited.

After waiting for such a long time for the release date of Red Dead Redemption, I finally have an accurate expectation!
