Chapter 292: Uncapped bonus pool

At this E3 exhibition, for all game reporters, there are waves of high chao, and there is something to write every hour and every minute every day.

For E3 on this day, it seems that the biggest winner of the three new consoles released by the three major manufacturers in the past three days is the old one.

As the name suggests, the CHANGE machine of this generation has made considerable changes, so it is full of gimmicks. Although the third day is not over, it seems that the return of the old man on the mainframe is already a certainty.

It has opened up a brand-new host model outside the existing host market. In terms of mobility, neither the Sofa host nor the Microsoft host can compare with it. Can you play with the two hosts while eating and drinking? CHANGE can.

But this is incomparable. Regarding the return of the old Ren, now all the game media have reached a consensus after passing the gas: be cautious and optimistic.

This is also because the host still has the last point of uncertainty: demos often do not mean that the player gets it. So as long as the player finally got the same machine as the one displayed now, they can basically announce that the old king is back.

However, although Lao Ren's machine was amazing, what surprised all players and reporters was the stunning appearance of Hongyi Game.

Before the start of the exhibition, the outside world was also talking about the so-called "Hongyi Renshi" theme day. It is more recognized that Hongyi and Lao Ren reached a part of the transaction secretly. For example, Hongyi made a special game for Lao Ren, and then The old man brings a wing or something.

But today, Hongyi has become the protagonist without any weak momentum.

Whether it’s the stunning appearance of "Assassin’s Creed: Spring and Autumn" or the topical level brought up by "GTA", all players are full of expectations for Hongyi’s game, and players have gradually realized one thing: now Hongyi no matter what Whether it has been released or has been announced, no two games are of the same style.

Whether it is the core game mechanics or the style of the game as a game coat, no two games are exactly the same. On-site players are also beginning to quietly spread a slogan:

"Hongyi's products must be exquisite."

But there is another slogan with similar popularity:

"Hongyi said and practiced the day, and the family sacrifice never forgot to tell Naiweng."

Of course, this is what the players of Huaxia said privately to each other, and they smiled when they said it.

I probably complained that the games behind Hongyi Games are basically long-term trailers. These producers came here and made good ideas and trailers for you, and then told you that it will take a long time for our games to be online. !

"GTA", the Ogg brothers said it will take two years to complete the production.

"No Man's Sky" is even worse. Kirkel said that he has a basic pursuit of art, so it will take him three years to slowly polish the game.

"October Woman" is faster, because this game does not have many complicated systems, and the most time-consuming part is the art. Even so, Shuiyuan also said that the estimated time for the game is one and a half years.

Even the racing game that cooperates with Ferrari has not yet decided on a name, just to say so stay tuned. The person in charge from Ferrari blew there for a long time, and finally came to the question section, asking when the game will be launched and when the pricing will be available. After asking three questions, the player finally asked without giving up: We always have the right to know the name of the game. Right? "Sorry, we don't know the name of the game either. Now we only know an internal code name."

The players are desperate. The promotion of a game that you have not yet set up really makes the players dying. Although it sounds like a lot of new things to be added are very fun, but you said that this game does not even have a name now, that is I can't be happy now.

Fortunately, Hongyi pulled back the hearts of the players, because it was a standard oriental beauty who played. One of Hongyi's current executives is Lu Wanqi, who is mainly in charge of the numerical control department of "Eternity".

"Hongyi not only created a brand new game, a brand new game mode, but also a brand new industry."

In a word, Yu Jiashu knew that this beautiful young lady was going to talk about e-sports.

Since the start of the new season, disputes on this topic are almost daily, because in the final analysis, the current competitive games are fundamentally different from the original online games.

Although the previous RPG online game page game players PVP content with each other, those gang battles, camp corpses in the team, etc., are essentially only the seasoning of the game, and do not occupy the main content.

And competitive games, like the current "Eternity", is to achieve the ultimate in competition. It does not need to be like the original online games. If you want to experience all the content, you need to go through a long period of upgrades, equipment building, and so on.

In this game, as long as you want, you can start a confrontation with other players at any time.

Moreover, the core development part of this game is not the development of game characters. Even if you charge more money and spend more time, everyone’s data for the same character at the beginning of the game is the same, so I won’t say anything. The difference, this is the core competitive part: you can win not because you spend enough money or time, but because you are strong enough.

So in the next time, Lu Wanqi was explaining Hongyi's e-sports concept. Yu Jiashu was drowsy, but most of the other developers who were also game producers listened with gusto.

For them, these parts are the real "dry goods" belonging to Hongyi, how do the player groups capture them? How to distinguish between competitive and entertaining? How to avoid the player's burnout period for competition? How to operate the game's event IP? And so on, they are all issues that are urgently understood by producers who are not familiar with this field. In the end, Lu Wanqi said:

"In the future, e-sports will be the ultimate mode of online games."

"The traditional online game industry has gradually withered, and these PVE-oriented online game models, due to the fact that players are not under pressure, may finally have a second spring on mobile phones. This is also the reason why Hongyi is optimistic about mobile games and has already taken the lead. step."

"More specifically, Hongyi also has a more detailed classification of these markets. Of course, we will not elaborate here."

"On the other hand, our boss FANG has always said that competitive games are not complete. Only competitive + competitions are complete competitive games."

"Friends who follow Hongyi's "Eternity" should also know that Hongyi has been promoting the "Eternity" game competition hosted by itself, and this year's tentative final Intercontinental Rivalry World Tournament is still on the 12th of Christmas Eve. At the beginning of the month. The scale of this year’s event is even larger. We have three complete competition areas, each of which now has 32 teams competing for the strongest in the competition area. After a year of fierce battle, each competition area will have four teams joining the finals. World Championships, and then compete for the only championship, and bonuses."

"And this part I believe everyone will be interested-first of all, the championship prize pool of this world competition is 5 million US dollars. After the world competition, the "eternal" store will put on the unique "eternal contract I" exclusive to the first season. Players who purchase this contract will get a series of exclusive tasks. After completion, there will be unique skins and map plugins. There are too many rewards, so everyone is welcome to check the official website.

"The other part to be said is that 50% of the proceeds from the sale of this "eternal contract" will be directly added to the bonus pool, 25% of which will be donated to charity, and the remaining 25% will be used as funds for Hongyi's "Eternal" , You should understand, we also want to make money."

Lu Wanqi put out her tongue playfully, and she didn't care about these players anymore. They looked at the long series of numbers on the screen behind Lu Wanqi:

$5000000! And it's not capped!
