The entire "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" game time flow is actually difficult to evaluate, but if it is mainly based on passing through the main storyline, it will only be about forty or fifty hours.

As an open world, players will definitely spend more than forty or fifty hours in it.

On the other hand, all the major media on the Internet gave full marks without hesitation. Even if there were some independent review sites that insisted on picking out some faults and giving low scores, they were almost instantly attacked by players.

But for some game manufacturers, looking at the success of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", they have some different views.

In NetDragon's conference room, Zhang Yida, CEO Ma Lei and others were sitting together, and on the big screen behind them was a

Gameplay screen from Red Dead Redemption.

"What do you think of this game?" Ma Lei looked at everyone in the main seat and asked.

As Nebula Games and Yang Chen's new work returning to the open world, it is naturally impossible for them not to pay attention.

At the beginning, many people saw that Yang Chen chose this type of western theme, even if they didn't say it on the surface, they were surprised in their hearts.

But now the sales that continue to rise, as well as the industry's almost unanimous full marks, prove one thing.

As long as the performance of the game is good enough, not to mention writing western themes, as long as you don’t play with external sensitive factors such as politics and human rights, no matter what kind of theme, as long as it is fun enough, there will be no failure.

As for the full marks from the media, it proves the excellence of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption". Although everyone is a game company, they are also clear about the twists and turns below. What kind of public relations before the game's ratings come out? .

But if the game is really not good, or if it has not reached that height, these review media will not give a high score out of conscience.

It's really a little bad, find a way to praise your strengths, avoid talking about your shortcomings, and give you a passing grade.

The game is okay, give you a high score.

But if you want to get a score like a full score, unless your game is really amazing, otherwise you won't give it easily.

Unless you give too much.

And rating this kind of thing,

More than one review media, if you really want to buy them all, it will cost a lot.

"Xingyun Games' "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" can be said to have opened up another approach to open world games." Zhang Yida, who was in the audience, said.

Hearing this, the rest of the game producers looked at Zhang Yida curiously.

"His gameplay is actually not much different from the usual formulaic open world, but the key point is that there are too many things to choose from, a lot of details and the connections between the characters, which seems to be similar to "The Elder Scrolls: Open world games like Skyrim don’t have many connections, but in fact, if you dig carefully, there are still many connections.” Zhang Yida said confidently.

Although he hasn't come up with any new products in recent years, Zhang Yida still has some insight as he is still a boss in the past.

And in the first time, he also entered the game world of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" to experience it.

It can be said that he still has the right to speak.

"Of course, this seems simple. It's like putting a good plot in the game and adding various details to create a real open world, which makes players feel very immersive. This kind of connection is the most difficult part to control, it must have taken Xingyun Games and Yang Chen a very long time to reach the open world of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption"." Zhang Yida pushed his eyes, Said in a very firm tone.

"Well, it is indeed possible." Hearing Zhang Yida's words, Ma Lei remembered the information on the official blog that Yang Chen would go on a trip without making a game, and immediately felt that the possibility was particularly high.

As the boss of Nebula Games, do you go outside every day to make games?

Even if you are the main producer of the game, do the people under your command have nothing to do with food?

"However, Nebula Games has also given us a head start. The open world doesn't have to be like "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" to create a huge world while converging tasks; it doesn't have to be like "Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain". In that way, players can have a variety of plans to achieve goals; build a huge game world with details, and then introduce enough exciting plots." Ma Lei said with a smile.

Although he is the CEO of NetDragon Games, he doesn't know anything about games.

Not only in NetDragon, but also Tenghua, Phoenix Games, as well as overseas UEgame and Power Storm and other first-line game manufacturers are beginning to study the content of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".

Although the results of "Red Dead Redemption" are very good, although the huge sales volume makes them jealous, they are not only concerned about sales, but more concerned about the open world game that "Red Dead Redemption" brings. a breakthrough.

Unlike Nebula Games' "Dark Soul" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", the follow-up operation of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" is bigger.

For example, in "Dark Soul", the action experience may be able to achieve, or even exceed, but that kind of level design and control of the difficulty of the player is a very difficult thing.

As for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", it is not an exaggeration to say that Nebula Games may have already done a good job in modern warfare, and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" itself attracted most players with its plot and screen themes After that, with the fast-paced multiplayer gameplay, it quickly made a hole in the FPS type game.

This makes it even more difficult for latecomers to surpass.

On the contrary, "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" is a good entry point.

Although you did a western theme, they can do other themes.

In the final analysis, it is to create a real open world, and if this model is successful, it can be made into a formulaic new year series of games.

This is much more profitable than a single 3A masterpiece.

In the face of "Dark Soul", which can only learn its shape, but not its spirit; and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", which has established its own FPS leader, as an open world "Red Dead Redemption": Redemption is obviously the best example of this.

If you can’t do it, learn it!

A week after the release of "Red Dead Redemption" by Tenghua and Phoenix Games, they immediately made an official announcement that they will also have an open world masterpiece.

Although NetDragon and some overseas game manufacturers have not made official announcements, they have also revealed some so-called 'gossip'.
