Chapter 204 The Real Open World

The news that "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" is about to launch the preemptive version is undoubtedly very exciting for players who are eager to see through.

It doesn't even need a lot of hype.

This matter has already attracted the attention of many players.

The original number of reservations from 300 million skyrocketed to more than 700 million!
Simultaneously.

The manufacturers who have been paying attention to the industry trends, naturally, soon learned of the news, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

This also includes two giant hard giants.

"The pre-emptive version was launched in advance, and it was sold at half price. Hong Huang was a little too confident in his follow-up production."

Director Juqing said in surprise.

"They are looking for their own death!"

Carter smiled dismissively: "I thought they would pose a threat to us, but I didn't expect to make such a stupid decision. It seems that we are worrying too much."

"Indeed." Director Juqing agreed, "Before the final product of the game came out, even we didn't dare to guarantee the follow-up quality. They actually sold the semi-finished product directly, and sold it at such a high price. It's really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers."

"I think that if we don't need to do it this time, many people will stand up for us."

Carter tapped the table lightly, his eyes calm.

In the past few days, they have been sending people to secretly contact Honghuang employees, trying to recruit those core members.

But the result is.

The loyalty of Honghuang employees is far beyond imagination.

After spending a lot of time and money, only one core member and a few insignificant peripheral members were found.

Their plan to disintegrate Honghuang from within has been completely ruined.

Originally thought that it would be more troublesome to deal with in the future, but unexpectedly, Hong Huang committed suicide and came up with this pre-sale of the pre-emptive version.

Don't they know that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment?

Now players' expectations for "Red Dead Redemption" have been raised to the highest. If the follow-up content does not meet expectations, the consequences will definitely be serious.

He didn't think that Honghuang could always maintain the quality of the trial version.

As Carter thought.

There are praises for Honghuang's pre-emptive version, but naturally there are also criticisms.

Just half an hour after the announcement was made, there were a lot of unscrupulous people who said that the preemptive version dared to charge half price.

There are even people who say that Honghuang wants to take the opportunity to make money and run away.

It is no longer clear whether it is the player or the navy sent by the manufacturer.

Among them, the one with the most likes was pinned to the top page.

[Snail Riding a Turtle: I am a pure passer-by. I have one thing to say. This game is not as magical as you say. Although it is well-made, it also has a point that many people ignore, and that is openness. 】

[As an open world game, the quality of "Red Dead Redemption" is really nothing to say, but the whole trial process gave me the feeling that there is no sense of openness at all, but more like a semi-open movie game. Most of the shots are dominated by a cinematic perspective. 】

[Lack of independent exploration, which is obviously contrary to the open world, and what is the difference from those role-playing games that advance along the main line?So please follow the trend rationally, don't blindly enter the pit, so as to avoid wasting money. 】

After a paragraph, there are hundreds of words in eloquence.

It can be seen that he has carefully studied Honghuang's previous game demos, and it is also the comment with the highest praise at present.

Click to reply below.

There are pros and cons.

The people on both sides actually quarreled directly in the comment area, and the quarrel went up to hundreds of floors.

But I have to say that this comment did have a little impact on the game, making those players who came to the open world hesitant.

I don't know if I should start this game or not.

After all, a pre-emptive version costs more than 100 yuan.

But the strange thing is that the players on both sides were arguing, but Honghuang didn't respond, as if he had acquiesced in this matter.

Could it be that.

Is this game really just rubbing the edge of the open world?
The players couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, hesitating whether to wait and see before starting.

"A group of idiots, this is called lowering expectations!"

Dongshanju headquarters.

With a smile on the corner of Zheng Qian's mouth, he explained why Hong Huang didn't respond.

He is very clear that the problem Hong Huang is facing now is not that the heat is not enough, but that the heat is too high!
The public trial of the first battle of Gods made the entire Internet praise the game, and the expectations of the players will naturally be raised higher and higher, like a tight string.

Once the follow-up content of the game fails to meet expectations, or even is only a little weaker than the trial version, this string may be broken.

So what Honghuang should do most now is to let them hack as much as they want, to lower the players' psychological expectations.

"He can even notice such a subtle place, this Mr. Chen is really not an ordinary person."

Sitting in front of the computer, Zheng Qian was both amazed and emotional.

If it was him, he would have lost himself in such a sudden explosion.

Fortunately, such a character is not their enemy.

Otherwise, sooner or later he will be killed.

Thanks to the friendly relationship between the two, their online game was able to go online smoothly, and even the number of online games far exceeded expectations.

I have to say that it is really thanks to Hong Huang's blessing.

that's it.

This upsurge of debate has lasted for nearly half a month under the impetus of caring people.

During the period, Hong Huang updated three episodes of the "Western World" TV series.

Added another fire to the heat.

Whether or not "Red Dead Redemption" is an open world game has become the most discussed topic among players.

But no matter how they quarrel, this topic will come to an end today.

Because the day when the pre-emptive version goes online is today.

"Hurry up! The pre-emptive version will be launched at 12 noon!"

"The train shootout, is it finally coming?"

"GKD, I can't wait."

"There are still people who say that it's not an open world and you don't want to play."

"A group of rhythmic idiots, so what if it's not an open world? I'm clueless about the quality of the game alone!"

"Anyway, I'm already planning to buy it. Come to the live broadcast room to watch it first, and play it by myself when I get home."

Station b, in the old E live broadcast room.

The barrage is still the same as usual, very lively.

As a veteran fan of shooting games.

Old E naturally wouldn't miss this awesome game, and had been waiting in front of the computer for a long time.

Even he himself didn't notice that the arm resting on the mouse and keyboard was trembling slightly, looking a little excited.

He didn't watch the live demo before.

But he watched the video.

With his years of experience in gun games, he can see at a glance that this "Red Dead Redemption" is different, and it is by no means as simple as a role-playing game in the ordinary sense.

"It's on! The game is on!"

Accompanied by a bullet screen, 12 noon arrived.

Old E was shocked, and quickly refreshed the page he had prepared a long time ago. Sure enough, a game appeared in front of him.

【Game: Red Dead Redemption】

[Introduction: The game tells the legendary story of Arthur Morgan and the notorious Van der Linde Gang, experiencing the desperation journey in the last years of the 19th century. 】

[Genre: Open World, Drama, Western, Adventure, Action]

[Price: 185 (50%)]

"Hiss, the half price is 185, and the full price is 370. This price is a bit expensive."

Old E took a deep breath, and the first thing he saw was the game price.

This price is almost enough for him to buy another copy of Resident Evil.

"Expensive? You don't even look at the movie-level picture."

"This is indeed expensive for ordinary games, but for this game, I can only say that it is too cheap!"

"Indeed, if the quality of the trial version is available in the follow-up, it won't be high to sell 500."

"I'm afraid you haven't seen a draw card without 648 hairs."

"This game has a lot of investment, and I'm a little worried that Hong Huang won't be able to recoup the cost if he sells it at this price."

The bigger the game, the more money you invest, and the harder it is to lose money.

This is also the reason why many manufacturers are clearly capable, but dare not easily make large-scale games.

Because they are not sure whether they can fire or not.

Once you can't make back your money, the loss is not as simple as hundreds of millions.

"Well, this price is indeed low compared to the quality of the game."

In front of the camera, Old E didn't struggle too much and chose to buy it directly.

After downloading, you can't wait to enter the game.

The audience, which was originally extremely lively, also became attentive.

Swish!
The light comes on.

A familiar picture appeared, and a snow-covered valley came into view.

Old E with the earphones opened his eyes, his expression was exactly the same as when Ajie and the others tried it out.

"I'll go! The sound effect is great, the picture is better than watching a live broadcast, and you can switch the No.1 viewing angle!"

In the live broadcast room, Old E yelled, looked left and right, and was so excited that he almost stood up from his seat.

After some difficulty, he recovered from the shock, suppressed his emotions and continued to move forward.

Because I have seen the trial play, it is very smooth along the way.

In about 10 minutes, I came to the hiding place of the hostile gang and experienced the gun battle gameplay of a game.

"Not bad, the action of the gun is smoother than I imagined, and it matches the surrounding snow environment absolutely."

After solving the enemies, Old E was full of praise for the game, and couldn't find any faults.

If there is something wrong with it, maybe it is only the one mentioned on the Internet, which is not open enough.

Holding this doubt, he immediately accelerated forward.

Search for supplies, climb snow-capped mountains to rescue members, exterminate wolves, attack rival gang positions, hunt and collect food.
After spending more than an hour and going through plot points one after another without any risk, he finally caught up with the progress of the live broadcast demo, and rode horses with his companions to the place where the train tracks passed.

"It's coming! The plot of blowing up the railway tracks is coming!"

"The last time I saw it stopped here, I finally waited for it."

"Have you noticed, it's been an hour and a half, and Chapter 1 is not over yet."

"Fuck! It seems to be true!"

"The content of one chapter is more than an hour and a half?"

"Then doesn't Chapter 2 start in three hours!?"

Suddenly, the audience discovered this crucial question, and they exclaimed one by one.

They originally thought that the content of the two chapters released by Honghuang this time would be as good as two hours.

But now that two hours are almost up, the content of Chapter 1 is not over yet, and the richness is far beyond their imagination.

"This game is so awesome that I can't tell whether it's real-time calculation or cutscene CG."

Old E is riding a horse and running in the snow-capped mountains with his gang. It looks like a cutscene CG scene, but he can still control the character.

There is a wonderful experience of manipulating movie characters.

"Hey~ I'm going to jump this way. I'll jump again. Brothers, do you think I'm handsome?"

Old E, who discovered this new gameplay, became addicted to it after playing it. He rode around while riding a horse during the cutscene animation, and didn't follow the team well at all.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, he bumped into a big tree by the side of the road.

boom!
The screen turned red.

He was thrown straight off the horse.

As a result, the horse ran away, but he was still standing there, and the other members rode the horse and drifted away.

"Hey! Hey! Wait! My horse is gone!"

Old E yelled again and again, controlled the character to chase after him, and ran on the snow on his two legs.

The audience who saw this scene burst into laughter instantly.

Make you laugh.

The horse is gone, it depends on how you continue the plot.

"This one doesn't count, let's do it again."

Seeing that the team ran far away and the mission failed, Old E suddenly became more honest, started on his way again, and obediently followed the team all the way.

Finally, a few minutes later, I came to the familiar hillside and saw the train tracks passing by.

What the player has to do is to help install explosives under the rails.

"Wow! Are you really going to blow up the rails?"

The hearts of the audience were shocked, and they regained their spirits in an instant.

They dare not think about this kind of thing in reality, but in this chaotic and disorderly western world, it is perfectly normal.

Give them a sense of letting go.

Yes.

As they play along the way, they have gradually understood the core of the game.

That is freedom.

Spiritual freedom!

Honghuang seems to be explaining the true meaning of the open world to them from another angle!
