Chapter 529: Half-Life 3 and Yang Conspiracy

Chuhe is not sure what other industries are like, but at least there is no eternal dynasty in the game industry, there is no doubt about it.

Atari in the early years represented the pinnacle of the North American game industry at that time, but after experiencing multiple decision-making failures at Atari and the lack of quality of its games, resulting in a backlog of inventory, ET finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back. After the failure There was a big collapse of Atari, and then the emergence of neon game manufacturers dominated by Nintendo brought about a huge change and shock in the game industry.

After that, the game industry technology in Europe and North America caught up. The level of a series of game technologies such as game engines and physical effects, European and American games gradually surpassed the neon game industry chain.

Since entering the millennium, almost every graphic innovation and technological innovation in the game industry has appeared in Europe and the United States.

And neon-style games, in the future, are more inclined to conquer players in terms of game creativity, design, plot and level design, rather than purely using the simplest technical violence to make players addicted like European and American games. in.

On other host platforms, the same is true. In the early days, Atari dominated the crowd, and later, Nintendo dominated one side, Sega, SNK, and Sony joined forces, and then Sony ascended the throne and became emperor, and now it is divided into three parts.

There has never been an absolute king, and today's steam platforms are only the first batch of people who eat crabs and are the most familiar with crabs.

But this can only show that the steam platform has a great advantage, and it is not an invincible existence.

It's like a restaurant.

The steam platform opened a restaurant that tastes good, and later opened an EPIC restaurant that tastes good, but the business is not very authentic, and the ingredients on the steam platform are snapped up in the market, and at the same time they hold the rope. Tied up, trying to get into his shop, and by the way, a sign saying XX is not allowed to enter the shop to eat was hung on the sign at the door.

What TEU has to do is much simpler. We have to maintain the same level as them or even higher than them in terms of the taste of the dishes on the steam platform. At the same time, we have to be higher than them in terms of price.

Unless you are visiting nostalgic old customers, for ordinary diners, which restaurant to choose is not a matter of much consideration.

Today's TEU obviously makes a lot of articles on dishes.

The Outer Worlds, Becoming a Human, Astral Chain, EA and Ubisoft's games were announced, quickly attracting players' attention.

Action games, RPG types, FPS, TPS, and interactive movie games, ancient themes, modern themes, sci-fi themes, and magical themes are almost the types you can think of, all of which can be seen on TEU during this time period.

The announcement of the pre-sale time of several games in succession, as well as the opening of the official website and related promotional videos completely drove the players crazy.

By the way, the number of registrants on the TEU platform is rising steadily.

…………

In the new year's E3 game exhibition, Tianhe Network did not participate in it, but on the day of the E3 exhibition, a news broke out in the game industry.

In the game industry, a hermit master who has not done it for many years finally did it. Valve announced that it will develop a new game.

The announcement of the news instantly ignited the industry. What is the new work of Valve?

Countless players started discussing it, but Valve didn't make a positive announcement. It just opened an official website on the second day after E3 ended with a simple crowbar.

Players all over the world went completely crazy when they saw that simple crowbar.

As they thought, Valve finally made that game.

A game they have been waiting for for more than ten years, the sequel to Half-Life.

Later, more and more information was released by V Agency, the familiar Dr. Gordon Freeman, the familiar artifact crowbar. (I guess I can't wait for Half-Life 3, so I might as well bring V agency out~ Even if it is a game more than ten years ago, it is really a masterpiece, if you have not experienced it, you can experience it, although now Come on, whether it is the picture or the physical effect, it is too outdated.)

With the announcement that Valve began to develop Half-Life 3, the news of both TEU and EPIC was immediately suppressed by it.

It is definitely an epoch-making game. The amazing appearance of Half-Life 1 almost brought about the innovation of global FPS, and the appearance of Half-Life 2 later maintained this amazingness.

Before Half-Life 3 appeared, players had no reason not to look forward to such a work.

...

In the office of Tianhe Network, Chuhe is trying to play two war series games, as well as their game Apex legends from Rebirth Studio, which is also the game of pinnacle legend.

Hearing Pigg and Plott talking about Half-Life at Valve, Chu He put down the mouse in his hand and couldn't help showing some serious expressions on his face.

"It seems that vavle is in a hurry now, and even took out such a big killer as Half-Life 3." Chu He couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

When it comes to FPS games on PC, Half-Life is definitely a point that cannot be bypassed. It can be said that without Half-Life, there would be no counter-strikes behind, and there would be no vavle game empire.

"There is no way to do this. After all, the steam platform is the root of vavle. The emergence of TEU and EPIC is already digging their roots, and since Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike, vavle has not been available for too long. products." Plot said with a smile.

If there was only one EPIC, vavle and the others would not be too nervous, but the TEU is too fierce. It has only been online for less than half a month, and it has already posed a serious threat to its grassroots strength, that is, independent games.

Coupled with EPIC's continuous signing of exclusive games, and more and more medium-sized manufacturers joining the TEU platform, vavle finally couldn't sit still.

While Chuhe was talking with Plott, the mobile phone next to him rang.

When the call was answered, it was Wilson from EA calling to inform Chuhe to conduct a video conference negotiation.

Two minutes later, Chu He, who was sitting in front of the computer and turned on the camera, looked at the tired Ive and Wilson.

"It should still be night for you now." Chuhe smiled.

"It doesn't matter at night and during the day, the key is that this will be an opportunity for us." Ive said looking at Chuhe.

"What kind of reply will we get if we come to discuss with vavle to add Half-Life 3 to our TEU?" Wilson asked Chuhe seriously.

"Gabe Newell will definitely not agree." Chu He shook his head and said.

Although in the minds of the majority of players, Gabe Newell seems to be a kind and fat man, but in fact, people who know and have contact with Gabe Newell have a very clear understanding.

Self-confident and a bit stubborn, as well as a person with ambition and possessiveness.

It is almost impossible for Half-Life 3 to land on the TEU platform.

"Holding high the banner, in order to allow players to experience the game better, we discussed with vavle about Half-Life 3 and other games under its banner entering TEU, and they agreed to continue to expand through games such as Half-Life 3 and Counter-Strike We; of course, it would be better if they refused, we can express that although vavle refused, but the games of Ubisoft and Tianhe Network, as long as the steam platform does not refuse, we will still log in to it." Ive said looking at Chuhe.

After all, it’s not long before they said that they don’t support any monopoly. Using this reason to leave the steam platform may cause a lot of trouble instead of profit.

But now, this is a conspiracy.
