Chapter 559 A more perfect "Dark Soul"!
Chen Mo nodded: "Although there has not been a complete decision yet... it may be a form of a previous version."
Denise was very excited, obviously this was the most valuable news she had discovered this time.
"So, is there anything to disclose about the prequel of "Dark Souls"?"
Chen Mo said: "Well... the background of the story has been finalized, but we can't disclose too much now. We can only reveal that this is a story that was far earlier than the time set by "Dark Souls" itself."
Dennis asked: "It was long before the time setting itself...how early was it? Will you tell us about the beginning of the world of Dark Souls?"
Chen Mo said: "Well, in this plot, players will be exposed to many early characters from "Dark Souls", including Sun King Gwyn, who established the Age of Fire."
"In fact, the R&D plan for this work has been decided long ago, and it won't take too long, because the overall engine is based on the current engine, and it only needs to add some more scenarios."
Denise became more and more excited as she listened: "Is that so? So will it be released separately this time or will it appear in the form of DLC?"
Chen Mo said: "It is released separately, but this time, two different versions are expected to be released, including the VR version and the handheld version."
Dennis was stunned for a moment: "Handle-hand version?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes. Regarding this handheld machine, it is actually only available in China. If you are interested, I can give you one or take it back to TGN to take a look. It is expected that this handheld machine will be available abroad soon."
Chen Mo said as he stood up, brought a brand new Sith from the side and handed it to Denise.
"Is this a brand new handheld? Oh, I have a little impression, but this handheld is not on sale in Europe and the United States." Denise curiously held Sith's packaging box in his hand to observe.
Chen Mo smiled: "Yes, because I have been busy with the research and development of "Dark Souls" before, I am quite rushing, and there are not too many games on it, so I consider delaying the release of a few months. This time, the "Dark Souls" prequel and "Dark Souls" will be launched on the handheld platform."
Dennis was a little surprised: "Is this a little extravagant? Those who really like "Dark Souls" are all hardcore players, and they definitely prefer to play in the game cabin."
Chen Mo smiled: "It's different. The current pricing strategy is like this. If players buy the VR version of "Dark Soul", they will get a free handheld version of "Dark Soul". Players who can't afford the VR game cabin can also buy the Sith version directly, and it will be very cheap. It's only 98 soft sister coins, equivalent to about 16 US dollars, which is less than 1/20 of the VR version."
Dennis nodded. After hearing this price, she understood a little about the advantages of the handheld version of "Dark Souls".
However, she hasn't unboxed yet, so it's hard to understand what it would be like to play "Dark Souls" on such a small handheld machine.
Dennis asked, "Then, how much content will the Dark Souls on the handheld be reduced?"
Chen Mo said: "The game content of "Dark Souls" will be faithfully reproduced, and there will be no shrinkage. Of course, due to the different operation and display methods of the two devices, the handheld version of "Dark Souls" will definitely have some changes in the experience."
"But I think the handheld version is two different game experiences compared to the vr version, and it is difficult to arbitrarily say which one is better or worse."
Dennis said excitedly: "So, can the whip weapons I like in the prequel of Dark Souls be strengthened?"
Chen Mo showed a smile: "Just as I said before, you can turn off the damage."
Denise: "…"
Obviously, it is impossible for Chen Mo to increase the damage of whip weapons...
Dennis thought about it and asked again: "There is another very critical question. How difficult is the prequel of "Dark Souls"? Will you reduce the difficulty because of the strong demands of the players?"
Chen Mo smiled: "I have said before that when I was doing "Dark Souls", I never considered the difficulty, because what I want to bring to players is an unexpected feeling, a surprise and joy brought by their heart."
"About the prequel of "Dark Souls"... let's put it this way, it will be a more unexpected game. Or it is the true essence of the game "Dark Souls". I think in terms of gameplay, it will surpass the current "Dark Souls".
After saying that, Chen Mo showed another meaningful smile.
Denise was very excited: "Okay, I believe many players can't wait. I hope the prequel of "Dark Souls" can be made as soon as possible!"
Denise chatted with Chen Mo again. The reporter from the other side of the ocean was obviously surprised by everything in the experience store. After asking a lot of content, he reluctantly said goodbye.
"Anyway, the content about the previous work of "Dark Souls" should not be kept confidential, right? It should be fine to release it to players now, right?" Denise asked.
Chen Mo smiled: "No problem, you can make players look forward to it. By the way, I hope you can play Sith and help promote it."
Denise nodded: "Okay, then I'll say goodbye, and I hope there will be an opportunity for interviews in the future."
Denise left happily, his mind full of longing for the prequel of "Dark Souls".
I think other players should have similar expectations for this work as Denise, but when they think of the difficulty of this game, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.
...
Chen Mo has a lot of things to do during this period.
At present, the number of employees of Thunder Interactive Entertainment has been one plus and another. Not only are there more and more people in art, but there are also more and more people responsible for the operation and maintenance of various projects. The stations on the fourth floor of the experience store are almost full.
Currently, Thunder Interactive Entertainment has a lot of work.
On the one hand, it is the "League of Legends" event. The domestic league is in full swing and the popularity is getting higher and higher. The second global finals are getting closer and closer. Many players in "League of Legends" are looking forward to this.
In addition, Overwatch has already been released in the international version, and it has received a very good response in the European and American markets.
However, this game has not achieved dominance in China like "League of Legends", mainly due to the characteristics of this game.
Because the game depth of "Overwatch" is not very good, it is difficult for the popularity to continue to rise, and many players temporarily sealed it up after the novelty is over.
However, Overwatch is still a popular game and still needs long-term operation.
Of course, there are dedicated people responsible for maintaining these contents, and Chen Mo does not need to worry about it, because the game has been roughly established.
Chen Mo's current work focus mainly on two aspects. On the one hand, it is to remake "Dark Souls 1" so that the series of works "Dark Souls" can be fully presented to this world; on the other hand, it is to promote correspondingly around Sith.
So far, Sith has not been released in the European and American markets, and there are no particularly popular masterpieces on the game on the platform except "Odyssey".
Chen Mo wanted to lay the foundation for Sith to open up the European and American markets through the popularity of "Dark Souls".
Handheld consoles and VR game cabins are aimed at completely different people, and the biggest advantage of handheld consoles is actually cheapness.
For the game "Dark Souls", the vr version is 1988, while the handheld version only costs 98 to buy it.
The difference in experience between these two devices is mainly due to the difference in immersion. Just looking at the gameplay and content of the game, the handheld version of "Dark Souls" is also fun.
In addition, the market share of mobile phone platforms is still expanding. Just like in the previous life, more and more manufacturers have transformed PC-side games on mobile phone platforms, and the effect is very good, and the profitability of mobile games is becoming stronger and stronger.
