With the launch of the online mode of Red Dead Redemption, the entire team was worried about this game mode at the beginning, whether players might not understand it, would not play it, and then gave up this mode.

But it's clear that players' ability to study and comprehend is much stronger than what game producers like them think.

In the beginning, many players were not very familiar with this model. If it was put in a time when the Internet information was not developed more than ten years ago, game guides could only be spread by word of mouth or corresponding magazines. A game that is not so friendly to players is likely to die suddenly, even if it has a good reputation.

For example, when Tianhe Network was just established, Famine, the first stand-alone game released after Legend of the Red Moon, if this game was released early in the morning, it would probably be disseminated through videos, articles, and social circles. Direct violent death.

Because of this type of game, you can experience some of the fun only if you know how to play it. Now what should you do if you encounter a game that you can’t play?

The first thought was to open the search engine and look for strategies.

But in the past, when there was no such condition, there were no strategies to find on the Internet. A game that was relatively difficult without a strategy, few players would die with it.

Now, although there are still real hardcore games, if there is a strategy, as long as it is not handicapped and hopeless, the average game player can get started and play it, as long as there is someone who can accept static Set your mind to it, study it in conjunction with the strategy, at least get started to understand how the game is played, there is no problem at all.

………

"Let me tell you, I have already mastered how to play this mode. It is just one word to sail carefully for thousands of years, leaving a mark to find allies? What if Erwuzi finds out? The most dangerous The place is the safest place, just like eating chicken, it is a dog! When everyone else is dead, we will win."

In the live broadcast of Huya, Lin Yi was playing the game for a trial while bragging to the players. After being recognized as ugly at the beginning, he later added the character modeling that he specially selected to be assigned by the system into the game.

And after playing a few games, although he was not eliminated once, he still understood the essence of this mode.

Just as he was thinking, a little brother suddenly walked up to him and started a conversation with him.

‘It is horrific to hear that York’s body in the small town has been found on the back hill. '

Then 3 dialogue options appeared on Lin Yu's screen.

'York? Who is York? '

'York died on the back hill? It was terrible, how did he die? '

'Is York dead? This is really... we drank together the day before yesterday. '

"This person can't be disguised by the player." Looking at the selection dialogue that appeared, Lin Yu touched his chin facing the camera.

In this mode of Red Dead Redemption, all players will pretend to be NPCs by default as long as they do not take the initiative to expose, or are found clues by the other party, including dialogue templates with NPCs.

And during the game, there will be real NPCs who will come to talk to you, of course, there may be NPCs disguised by the player, whether you can recognize them depends on your eyesight or your own acting skills.

"In this case, it's very embarrassing. I don't think it's a good choice to choose anything." Lin Yu looked at the dialog box in front of him, a little tangled.

If he didn't choose immediately, Lin Yu didn't care, because in this mode, he is invincible during the dialogue, and there will be a delay of about three seconds whether it is a player or an NPC.

"Forget it, just choose this one, pretend not to know." After thinking for a while, Lin Yi directly chose the first option.

'York? Who is York? '

As the character of Lin Yu in the game said this sentence, the little brother who was talking to him showed a stunned expression: "York? York is the owner of the gun shop in the town. His death is really terrible. Damn gang members." At the end, the other party lowered his voice.

'Yeah, these bloody gangsters. '

‘The owner of the gun shop? It's really too bad. '

At the same time, two options are displayed on Lin Yu's panel.

"Let me tell you, choose 2 at this time and watch the other party lower their voices. This shows that it is risky to say such words. Let's choose 2 and feel emotional. This is very spiritual, okay? Don't make trouble, we are dogs, and we are not afraid at all. Okay? Who can find out our true identity? Our answer is watertight, okay? The town is so big, and it’s not normal that we didn’t realize who York is at the beginning?” Lin Yu spoke confidently. said the microphone.

'6666666, Lin's second child is awesome! '

‘I’ll give you full marks, I’m not afraid of your pride. '

‘Yes, the more you know, the faster you die, this definition is perfect! '

'Wait, didn't you find something wrong? The game is already in the late stage. The more information Agent Pinkerton collects, the better he can identify the other party. If the other party is cheating on Lin's second child, wouldn't it be completely discovered? '

Suddenly, Lin Yu saw a barrage, and just smiled, and then heard a burst of gunshots.

The character I manipulated on the screen had blood splashes on its body, and then gradually turned into black and white.

'innocent'

At this time, a person walked in, showed his ID to the screaming people around him, then squatted down on Lin Yu's body, and said something with a smile.

It's the person who just spoke to him.

'poor wretch'

Before Lin Yu came back to his senses, the other party lost another sentence, then turned around and left.

'My heart hurts, hey, Lin's second son was killed and scolded. '

'My heart hurts, my face hurts so much. '

'It hurts, I don't know what to say. '

This is very embarrassing, every time I die at the end of the bragging, how can I play this game.

As for being ridiculed, it's nothing. It's been a long time since the live broadcast, and this kind of thing has happened more than once. If you can get emotional every time, then don't do this live broadcast.

The most uncomfortable thing is that the face is swollen!

"It turns out that Gou is a bit unworkable. This game has to collect information to know ourselves and the enemy. I really know how to play this one. Let me do it again, the last one." Rolling up his sleeves, Lin Yi coughed lightly for two times Said loudly.

‘The last one out of a hundred million? '

‘To be reasonable, you know how to play again? '

'? ? ? ? ? ? ? '

………………

On the fourth day after the online mode was launched, players have basically figured out the various modes and online mini-games.

As for the evaluation, the ratings of players on domestic game starry sky and other media sites maintain a favorable rating of 90%, while overseas game boards such as Reddit are also full of replies and topics about the online mode of Red Dead Redemption, among which praise occupy the vast majority.

Of course, the most intuitive thing is the increase in sales. Thanks to the launch of the online mode, the already basically stable sales have once again been stimulated to usher in growth. The global sales in the latest week have increased to 670,000 copies.

While the players were talking about the online mode of Red Dead Redemption, Chu He went to the Black Light Studio again, and the follow-up game plan needs to be prepared.

Regarding the transplant plan of Red Dead Redemption including landing on the PC platform, it is like transplanting PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to the console, which does not require so many manpower, and only a part of the manpower is enough, including the follow-up Red Dead Redemption content.

Previously, there was an RPG project under development by Black Light Studio itself, and now Black Light Studio has acquired full rights to it. Naturally, this project also needs to be checked to see if it needs to continue to invest funds to continue.

However, according to Chuhe's thinking, as long as this game is good, it will definitely continue to invest in it, and it will be higher than the original 3 million development cost of Black Light Studio.
