Chapter 146 It’s broken, I seem to have learned it!

Rush is a two-sided game.

The so-called dual-end refers to the PC side and the host side. In addition to the regular PC platform, the game will also be available on Xbox and PS console platforms.

That’s what Chen Ba thought.

But when actually negotiating cooperation, "Speed" seemed to cater to the appetite of console developers, causing both companies to want to win exclusive rights.

Xbox is the most sincere.

Because their own "Forza Horizon" series has cultivated many racing game enthusiasts, they have high expectations for this type of game.

"A serious exclusive game."

Chen Ba asked: "What do you say? What do you think after reading Microsoft's exclusive agreement?"

"I have a question!"

"By exclusive, he should mean exclusive on all platforms, right? Then can we make a separate exclusive for the console platform, and reject the exclusive on the PC platform?" Xiao Lu suggested.

Different from the exclusivity terms during the "God's Grace Continent" period, this time the conditions provided by the Xbox platform are very good, and everyone agrees in principle to exclusivity.

But being exclusive on all platforms is a bit difficult.

After all, Tianba Studio started on the PC side, and many of its core fans are PC players. It would be too heartless to give up these fans if it became exclusive to all platforms.

Moreover, it is not easy to explain to G Fat and the steam platform.

Xiao Lu proposed to narrow the scope of exclusivity to the console side, that is, the console platform can only be played on Xbox. As for the PC version, it can be released as it should be, without being affected by exclusivity.

"I'll ask them..."

Chen Ba also feels that although the conditions are very generous, it is indeed a bit bad to be exclusive on all platforms, and PC and consoles should be distinguished.

So, he went to the relevant person in charge to discuss the exclusivity details.

Perhaps because there has been such a precedent before, Xbox agreed more readily and agreed to the plan proposed by Tianba Studio.

But then again.

Full-platform exclusivity and console-side exclusivity have completely different meanings, and the benefits and promotion resources they enjoy are definitely different.

"no problem!"

Chen Ba readily accepted.

As long as it does not affect the normal release of the PC side, the treatment on the console side will be slightly worse if it is slightly worse. Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it cannot be worse than the original.

"This is our studio's first serious console game, and it is also the first game to enjoy the promotion of the console platform..."

Chen Ba attaches great importance to this matter.

The studio's previous games, whether it is "Star Emperor" or "God's Grace Continent", or even the newly released "Love Staff", although they all have console versions, they are not taken seriously.

In the final analysis, these games are all PC games, and the console versions are "ported versions" and are not particularly native console games.

"Fast" is different.

During the development stage of this game, it was developed strictly in accordance with the standards of console games. Instead, the PC version is like a ported version.

The biggest difference between the native version and the transplanted version lies in adaptation and optimization.

Veteran players know this very well.

Many classic 3A masterpieces were basically first released on the console platform, and then ported to the PC and launched a dedicated PC version.

You'll find out when you play.

It’s great to play on the console, but when it comes to the PC, even though the computer configuration is not bad, it’s very awkward to play and the experience will be much worse.

The reason behind this is...

When game developers develop this game, the device around them is the game console, not the PC computer.

The starting point is different, and the final finished game is naturally different, and the player's playing experience will definitely be different.

As soon as the Spring Festival holiday ended, Chen Ba couldn't wait to officially announce the news that "Fast" will be exclusive to the Xbox platform.

besides.

He also announced the approximate release date of the game, which is May or June this summer.

This is the official release date!

According to usual practice, the actual release date must be earlier than this time. At the end of April, the early access version will be launched on the steam platform.

The price is 118 yuan!

This is an exclusive discount price for the early access version, and it will return to the original price of 128 yuan after a while.

There are three versions of the game.

The standard version is 128 yuan, the gold version is 158 yuan, the platinum version is 178 yuan...

The standard version is the simplest version, which is the so-called game body, without any additional content.

The gold version has an additional initial capital of 500,000, and will also come with some game-limited vehicle packages, such as mountain bikes, road bikes, and large-displacement motorcycles that cannot be purchased.

The Platinum Edition includes all the content of the Standard Edition and the Gold Edition, plus an additional "new garage" in online mode and a repair and modification workshop.

Three versions, each with its own characteristics.

Many players saw these three options as soon as they came, and they were immediately confused, not knowing which version to buy was more appropriate.

Including ice coke.

He was originally playing a pretty good pixel wind tower defense building game, when he suddenly heard a water friend say that "Fast Rush" was on sale, and then he hurriedly opened the steam store page.

Bing Cola is a stand-alone game long video UP host similar to Wang Laoju. Perak Perak has 1.383 million fans.

In addition to posting videos, he occasionally broadcasts live broadcasts to play new games or games that he finds interesting.

He also pays attention to "Speed" and added it to his wish list early.

It's just that among these three versions, he really doesn't know which one to buy...

"Platinum version without thinking?"

After glancing at the barrage, Bing Cola said speechlessly: "No, you really think of the anchor as a rich man. Isn't tens of dollars just money?"

There is a difference of 60 yuan between 178 yuan and 118 yuan!

Logically speaking, a million-level UP owner shouldn't worry about these tens of dollars, but Bing Cola is not sure how long this game can be played.

If it's not fun, then just buy the standard version and it'll be fun. Only if it's fun, you need to max it out and go directly to the platinum version.

"Forget it, trust me."

Based on the idea of ​​supporting domestic games and trust in Tianba Studio, Ice Coke hesitated for a moment between the standard version and the platinum version, and finally bought the platinum version.

Balance -178 yuan!

There are no discounts for the platinum version and the gold version. The price is the same. There is only the standard version. The original price is 128 and the early adopter price is only 118.

"There is a download hanging in the background. Let's continue playing that tower defense game and try to pass a few more levels..."

With that said, Ice Coke switched back to the previous game and played tower defense with relish.

Played for about half an hour.

Unable to withstand the urging of fans in the live broadcast room, he switched to the steam platform and took a look, and found that the download and installation of "Speed" had been completed.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

"I'll continue to pass the level later, save my progress, and I'll go explore Jiangning Island first!"

With that said, Ice Coke turned on "Speed".

The game loaded very slowly for the first time. After waiting for almost four or five minutes, he finally saw the game's main page.

“Can’t play online mode?”

After trying several times and finding that "Login failed" was always displayed, Bing Cola asked the audience in the live broadcast room: "What's going on? Why can't I get in?"

"The server crashed!"

"Stop trying. I can't get in either. I can only play in single-player mode... Brother Ba's Tudou server can't handle it. I'm done with it now."

"Shit Tianba! All the money is used for Xianyu Digital to purchase goods. You don't have any money to buy a server, right?"

"Don't scold Brother Ba. He helped me find a girlfriend and protect the best Brother Ba in the world! "Love""

The audience in the live broadcast room was not surprised.

Tianba's servers seem to have been criticized and criticized by players since the first online game, "Star Emperor".

It's never been better.

The game is a good game, but occasionally the server crashes and I can't log in. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.

"That's okay..."

Seeing that everyone said it was a server explosion, Brother Ba had already gone to restart the server. He didn't know when it would be done, and Bing Cola nodded.

"I'm also thinking about playing the online mode, but from the looks of it, I think I can only play in single-player mode!"

Standalone is fine too.

Although there is no tension and excitement of player vs. player, and the opponents are all humans and machines, it is definitely enough to experience a game.

Ice Coke enters stand-alone mode.

As soon as he came in, there was a little secretary who told him how to control the garage, how to sign up for competitions, how to upgrade his racing and driving skills...

“I really want to take the driver’s license test!”

The news that "Fast" requires a driver's license to hit the road has been leaked a few months ago, and Ice Coke is not surprised.

But he didn't expect that there would be more than one level in the driving test.

Players can initially take the C3 test, obtain a C3 driver's license after the test, and sign up for C3 level events.

Want to participate in higher level competitions?

Then go get a higher level driver’s license! C3 upgrades C2 and C1, then B3B2B1 and A3A2A1...

The highest level is an S-class driver's license.

This upgrade system has a bit of a development element. Bing Cola can understand at a glance that this driver's license level is very important.

A Class C driver's license is okay.

At level B and level A, the exam content is not only about winning first place in the competition, but also about meeting a certain "skill score."

And the driver's license cannot be continuously upgraded.

It took Bing Cola a few minutes to obtain his C3 driver's license and wanted to continue his promotion to C2, but the system prompted him with "insufficient experience."

The so-called experience refers to competition experience. That is to say, he needs to use a C3 driver's license to compete in some events and achieve certain results before he can upgrade his driver's license and compete in higher-level events.

"Fancy..."

After complaining, Bing Cola looked at the only car in his garage, a new energy smart tram launched by Huazi and a major state-owned automobile manufacturer, and opened the game map.

Many icons lit up on the map.

Each icon represents a game that is about to take place there. Players can click to view the details and drive to the designated location to participate in the game.

The gameplay is quite simple.

After selecting a relatively simple "city obstacle course", Ice Coke was soon in the car and saw the navigation route to the location.

Just follow the navigation and drive all the way to the location.

"The map is quite large and the scenery is pretty good! This should be based on the map of Jiangning city, but some places are different from Jiangning..."

Bing Cola has been to Jiangning, so he has a certain understanding of the map.

The scene map in the game is 50% realistic restoration and 50% original and self-designed. It is not the real Jiangning City, but it is very similar to Jiangning City.

"Ouch!"

Driving along the navigation to the designated location, Ice Coke thought it would be a very simple matter, but unexpectedly, this road was too difficult to drive.

There are a lot of cars on the road, and the drivers are of very poor quality, and they often change lanes and cause traffic jams.

With a bang, he crashed.

The new car that had been driven for less than 100 kilometers immediately turned into an accident car, which made Ice Coke feel a little uncomfortable.

What made him even more unexpected was that the collision seemed to be serious. When he started driving again, the car body would unconsciously shift to the left, causing a serious feeling of congestion.

How to open this?

The only option is to tow it to a repair shop, apply for insurance and then have the car repaired!

Before the race, I went to the repair shop to repair my car. The fans in the Ice Coke live broadcast room were so happy that they said that my driving skills were too poor and they needed to practice more.

"What an injustice!"

"I'm driving normally, right? He insists on squeezing me. How can I tolerate him?"

Ice Coke feels very wronged. What does this have to do with driving skills? It was obvious that the NPC was being unreasonable and had to squeeze in to block the car. Otherwise, how could the car crash?

So infuriating!

When he met this kind of NPC driver on the road, he really had no temper at all and just felt that he was so unlucky.

Forget it, let’s fix the car first.

On the way to the repair shop, a water friend suddenly sent an SC to remind Ice Coke: "Anchor, didn't you buy the platinum version? The platinum version comes with a repair and modification workshop, why do you need to go to the repair shop?"

"Yes!"

Ice Coke suddenly realized that the platinum version comes with an online mode garage and an exclusive repair and modification workshop.

You can use car repair and modification services without going to repair shops and modification shops, and save a lot of game coins.

In addition to saving game currency...

Another advantage of the exclusive repair and modification workshop is that it saves time. You can quickly bring it back to the workshop for repair anytime and anywhere, without spending time waiting.

"I'd forgotten if I didn't mention it. The platinum version also comes with a workshop. How to use this thing..."

After opening the game menu and studying for a while, Ice Coke finally found where his repair and modification workshop was.

It's quite convenient.

No matter where the car is parked, as long as you open the workshop page, you can summon the vehicle at any time and perform corresponding repairs and modifications.

"Do I still have to do it myself?"

After taking a look at the function introduction, Bing Cola was a little surprised and said: "I thought the NPC was helping me fix it, but I didn't expect that I had to do it myself."

Is this okay too?

He is just an ordinary player, he knows nothing about repairing cars!

Under the guidance of the little secretary, Bing Cola enlarged the damaged parts of his car, used a sander to polish the scratched areas, and then used a machine to smooth out the dents. He continued to polish, apply putty, sand putty, cover other car bodies, and spray paint... …

After a set of sheet metal repair procedures, the scratches and dents were basically resolved, and Ice Coke was dumbfounded.

It's not just him.

The viewers who watched his live broadcast were also dumbfounded at this moment.

Is sheet metal repair weird?

Not surprisingly!

The weird thing is, isn't this a game? When has a game been able to be so detailed, with almost every restoration step restored?

"It's bad, I seem to have learned it!"

Bing Cola murmured to himself: "Now I just need machinery and equipment and a car for me to practice..."
