After returning to Nebula Games from the game department, "Red Dead Redemption" successfully passed the review, which made Chen Xu feel good.
Of course, Chen Xu also knew that the main reason for being able to pass the review so quickly was because the competition between Huanyu and Zeus was fierce.
Although "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" was launched first, overseas has always been zeus' home ground.
So now Universal VR really needs more masterpieces that can serve as the facade.
As for why we chose "Red Dead Redemption" instead of Mr. Alexandre Dumas's famous masterpiece "The Three Musketeers", on the one hand, it was based on the content. After all, compared with "Red Dead Redemption", the latter's background theme settings are So slightly sensitive.
Secondly, there is the movement on the atrai side.
Just because he doesn't pay attention doesn't mean that Chen Xu really doesn't know anything about the situation.
Chen Xuke has always asked his assistant Lin Rou to collect news about the industry for him every day.
For most ordinary players, they basically have to wait until atrai officially announces the news, or until third-party media begins to spread it widely.
But Chen Xu had already received the news in advance.
Originally, Chen Xu had not thought about which game to present. After all, except for some more special games, Nebula Games almost has the capital to try it.
But after knowing the news, Chen Xu didn't hesitate at all.
After all, the two sides are competitors to each other. Shouldn't they fight to the death
"Mr. Chen, atrai has released news again. It feels like the western theme has suddenly become popular." In the office, Ruan Ningxue, who was showing some original design concepts to Chen Xu, said with emotion.
"It's normal. After all, Western movies are relatively niche. Atrai has chosen them as the next 3A project, so naturally they want to heat up this topic." Chen Xu smiled.
"So let's reap the benefits?" Ruan Ningxue thought thoughtfully.
"That's right, so in terms of game progress, just like the previous "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", try to keep atrai as close as possible." Chen Xu smiled and nodded, with such a teachable expression on his face.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Yi and Yang Xin also walked in, respectively reporting on some preparatory work for "Red Dead Redemption".
"Okay, let's follow the current model. Yang Xin, please leave me to tell you about the plot of "Red Dead Redemption" and the setting of the background. Of course, your team will definitely be too busy with this project. At that time, I will also find some professors who study western history for your group to consult." Chen Xu looked at Yang Xin and said.
Yang Xin, who was sitting on the stool, nodded and listened carefully to Chen Xu's story.
"Compared with the western themes currently on the market, "Red Dead Redemption" will be quite different."
"The western movies currently on the market are more about showing the so-called beauty of the west. After all, this is normal. Just like Water Margin, many people think it is chivalrous, but in fact most of them are a group of bandits, especially Lu Junyi. Crap."
"Similar to Westerns, the real West is not that good. A large number of Westerns mythologize cowboys. Good white immigrants are threatened by violence, and heroic cowboys and law enforcers eliminate violence?" As he spoke, Chen Xu gently shook his head. Shake his head.
"It is true that in any period, there are good people and bad people. The so-called cowboys naturally have good and bad people. There are people like the heroes in Western movies, but most of them are a group of bandits and a group of criminals. In the so-called era of law and civilization, With the coming of , these people will also come to an end. Of course, whether the so-called civilized era is civilized or not will also be a key point." Chen Xu said with a smile.
Western expansion is not as romantic as imagined.
Rather, it is full of barbaric expansion.
The same goes for Western movies in previous lives, which directly mythologized the so-called cowboy culture and cowboy spirit.
On the contrary, it was the subsequent Italian Westerns that truly showed what the Western period was like.
There are good and evil cowboys, an era where barbarism and civilization coexist, but eventually they gradually die out with the advent of a new era.
The West is definitely not an aesthetically romantic label, but a label in which barbarism has been replaced by 'civilization'.
Listening to Chen Xu's words, Yang Xin, who was sitting there, also seemed a little excited.
After all, judging from Chen Xu’s introduction, this so-called Western Story is completely different from what is currently on the market.
What are they
The opener!
Of course, the more important point is that atrai is hyping up the so-called western elements. When it comes out that Nebula Games is also working on this content, just thinking about atrai's expression, Yang Xin Want to laugh out loud.
Especially recently, the designer named Antolini has made Yang Xin very annoying. He just said what he was doing with their "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"
"Take a look at the main content of the game. I will add more details later. You should have a general understanding first. If you have any ideas during this period, you can also write them down for reference later." Chen Xu handed over a copy The printed document was handed to Yang Xin.
With excitement, Yang Xin opened the documents in front of him.
There is not much content, after all, it is just an outline, about the content of two A4 sheets of paper.
But Yang Xin was stunned at the end.
This ending…
"Mr. Chen, this!" Because it was a summary of the story, Yang Xin didn't have much emotion at the moment.
But the key point is that this person named Arthur Morgan is the protagonist!
Why did someone die in the end and become this person named John
"Don't be so surprised, and if players understand the meaning of technology in the game, then Arthur's death will be valuable and shocking." Chen Xu said with a smile.
Can the protagonist and important characters die
Of course he can die, just like Xiaoqiang, Ghost, and later Soap and Yuri who died in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
But their deaths must be valuable, rather than being hit by an inexplicable villain and smashing their heads with a stick. Then the death of the protagonist is not used to make the players feel shocked and thoughtful, but to make the players confused and angry.
"Mr. Chen, this is not the key at all." Yang Xin couldn't help being speechless.
This is not the crux of the problem at all. The real core problem is that the character that the player has invested his emotions in dies!
And I haven’t been playing “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” for a long time!
Is this because the players have a deep understanding of the 'Love Warrior' and have completely let themselves go
"It's okay, I believe players can understand it. Besides, although Arthur Morgan died, he completed his own redemption. Isn't John Marston alive and well? To a certain extent, John Marston is Arthur's last His redemption is also proof that he once existed." Chen Xu said with a smile.
As for John Marston following in the sequel, that is also a matter of the sequel. Besides, isn't there also little Jack
Listening to Chen Xu's words, Yang Xin said that there was no word after the word 'mei' in this sentence that he couldn't believe.
