i really just want to play games

Chapter 104 Another Phone Call

Ever since Chen Tiancai received the invitation to E3, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

The gaming industry can be roughly divided into two major components, and these components are represented by the company.

These two parts are called platform and content.

The platform is a console platform like Yusanjia, or a digital version distribution platform like the steam platform.

The content is game developers like Praise Network, usually only focus on developing games, and put their own games on these platforms for sale.

There is no obvious gap between the platform and the content. In addition to providing the platform, Yusanjia is also filling a large number of games for its own platform.

Manufacturers that mainly make games are also interested in building their own platforms, especially when digital versions of games are gradually surpassing sales of physical versions.

Because the research and development of game consoles is too expensive, and starting from these generations, even Yusanjia’s console research and development funds are an astonishing amount, so the physical console platform is still firmly held by Yusanjia. The difference is just a matter of who goes up and who goes down.

As a platform, of course, it has inherent advantages. The income from selling games is naturally high, and it can buy more consoles.

But this is not absolute, especially over the years, with the strong content of game developers, even previous exclusive works will soon be released on other platforms.

Of course, Chen Tiancai knew very well that Anthem Network is still a relatively weak game developer, and works like "Anthem" and "Hunting Crisis" were able to squeeze into E3. Apart from being a rookie, most of them also have the credit of Tengyi.

So "Legend Chang'an" is Chen Tiancai's stepping stone to come to E3. As the first 3A-scale game he decided upon with gritted teeth, "Legend Chang'an" did not disappoint him. Suo Dafa's heart.

The game industry is a small industry, and the DEMO of "Legend Chang'an" is enough for these platform manufacturers to decide whether to cooperate with Zange Network.

"The day after tomorrow should be the last day of E3, and that day seems to be the press conference of Suo Dafa..."

Chen Tiancai sat on the sofa in the rest area, and was not in a hurry to return to the room, but was thinking about some problems.

"Since Suo Dafa is eager to meet me tomorrow, he naturally wants me to bring "Legend Chang'an" to the press conference the day after tomorrow, but should I show "Anthem 2"?"

Chen Tiancai has not forgotten "Anthem 2". The reason why he only released "Legend Chang'an" today and left "Anthem 2" is because he is thinking about the arrival of this day.

In case there is a press conference of Yusanjia to catch up with, the good news of "Anthem 2" will be the icing on the cake.

As a small game, "Anthem 2" is a personal work, even at the press conference, Chen Tiancai will emphasize this point.

"Hymn 2" is his personal hobby, like a small gadget that a master who is proficient in sculpture took time to carve when he was making a big work.

The reason why "Anthem 2" was made was because Chen Tiancai saw the new functions of the world editor, and his hands were itchy for a while, and the story of "Anthem 2" had actually been in his mind for a long time, so he took the time to make it slowly .

"Forget it. If you want to support the show, just put a promotional video on it."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Tiancai denied the news of releasing "Hymn 2" at Suo Dafa's press conference.

He came to such a conclusion only considering the player audience of Suo Dafa.

Fans of Suo Dafa have very distinctive characteristics.

They are definitely a group of picture-obsessed people, and they only like large-scale AAA productions.

"Legend Chang'an" is absolutely satisfied with these two points, but "Anthem 2" is hard to say. In the eyes of Suo Dafa players, "Anthem 2" may be a web game.

"That's it. Let's see how Dafa wants to cooperate tomorrow." Chen Tiancai got up and was about to go back to his room to rest, but his phone rang again.

"Hey?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen? I'm Takeda from Nintendo Co., Ltd., do you have time to come to our booth tomorrow? We have something to discuss with you about cooperation." The other party spoke very quickly, but his words were clear , Chen Tiancai also understood.

"Okay!" Chen Tiancai's answer was very short, but he was actually very excited.

He thought that even if the call was from a certain platform, it would most likely be an invitation from Microsoft, but he didn't expect it to be Lao Ren.

"Ok, please tell me your time, so I can arrange it in advance." Takeda looked business-like, but his tone was already a little soft, and his speed was a little slower.

"About three o'clock in the afternoon." Chen Tiancai said the time.

"Okay, can it be before [-]:[-] in the afternoon?"

"can."

"Okay, good night."

"Good night to you too."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Tiancai felt that today was a dream day, and he was a little lucky to receive the invitation from Suo Dafa. He didn't expect that Lao Ren would also call him.

What Suo Dafa came to talk to him about, Chen Tiancai could guess it right away, but besides being happy when Lao Ren came to him, Chen Tiancai was a little confused.

"With the current function of Switch, can it bring "Legend Chang'an"?"

Chen Tiancai quickly threw away this terrible idea, and then thought:
'For the sake of the switch in players' hands being able to play for a few more years, it's better to give up this terrible idea. '

It has been almost six years since the switch was released. So far, the old Ren has not come up with a version with higher performance than the switch, only a version with improved battery life, and a lite version that can only be counted as a handheld.

Now the generation of consoles has reached the PS5 generation, and the graphics performance and functions have reached a terrible point. With the functions of the switch, even with the magic operation of the game transplantation company, it is difficult to make "Legend" which represents the pinnacle of this generation of consoles. "Chang'an" was transplanted.

According to Chen Tiancai's inner thoughts, he still prefers Lao Ren in his heart, after all, it represents childhood.

But considering the weak skills of the old host, Chen Tiancai still felt that the old Ren's pursuit of image quality was too relaxed.

In the early days of developing "Legend of Chang'an", Chen Tiancai bought a switch version of "The Witcher 3" in order to find inspiration. The idea was that it was easy to carry and could use some spare time.

Not to mention that the screen cannot be played, but after spending about 35 hours watching it again, Chen Tiancai felt that his eyes were really going blind. Although the screen was okay, it was too tiring to play, and it was separated from the big screen. The shock of some scenes in "The Witcher 3" has been reduced a lot.

"But you can drag "Anthem 2" into Lao Ren's face-to-face meeting!"

Chen Tiancai turned his head and planned to sell "Anthem 2".
