When the 2.4 version of "Original God" once again set off a global hit, domestic manufacturers have also accelerated the progress of their own open world products, and even EA's well-known racing game "Need for Speed" has also been targeted by Tencent, and it is said that its Guangmei Studio will adapt it into an open world mobile game.
This news was first exposed by a player named RemKiad in the Reddit community, after seeing the news, domestic netizens also inquired about Tencent's recruitment website, and found that Tencent Interactive Entertainment Business Group (IEG) is recruiting senior animation designers, senior scene original artists and many other positions for a "UE4 well-known IP big world realistic racing mobile game" in Shenzhen and Shanghai, it seems that this news is very likely to be true.
I really didn't expect that Tencent was not satisfied after having the open world mobile game developed by the "Glory of the King" IP, and even the racing game also had to do the open world, which is too rolled, right? Just how can a racing game be perfectly integrated with the big world exploration gameplay? Is it possible that the well-known sports cars among them will become racing girls? It's hard enough to think about.
Nowadays, the big factories have "paid tribute" to "The Original God" and are competing for the big cake of "open world", can they succeed in the end? Some time ago, Perfect World was online against the "Phantom Tower" of "Original God", and it was really a wave of fans, it seems that as long as the product quality is not too much to pull the crotch, players still buy the "open world" list.
In addition to Tencent and Perfect World, NetEase is actually quietly laying out this game category, and NetEase's action this time is more cautious, and it did not directly produce an open world game, but directly joined the open world gameplay in its flagship game with the most vigorous performance, and first explored the player's mouth.
And this game is the "Cold Water" with the name of "will breathe the rivers and lakes", this game has been online for three and a half years, and now it still plays an important role in NetEase's flowing water, so NetEase is a good choice to test the water with this game.
In addition, "Against the Water Cold" as an industry as a "rubbing heat" of the online game, before the launch of the game of self-propelled chess "Heroic WarGame", wuxia eat chicken "decisive battle floating boat island" have achieved a good market response, so "Against the Water Cold" took the lead in testing the open world gameplay, it is not surprising.
From the relevant information currently exposed by "Reverse Water Cold", the open world gameplay will be launched in the new expansion pack launched in January 2021, the official slogan is "martial arts lost, survival in the other world", it seems that the reverse water cold this time is a big blood, it is said that the "volume" of this other world is almost the sum of the existing "Reverse Water Cold", only the map area size is 2400 square kilometers, plus the picture quality of the reverse water cold has always been the ceiling of the industry, presumably in such a high-definition map to run the map, adventure, is another taste.
It is reported that when the player comes to the mysterious other world of the reverse water cold, the previous skills, martial arts, equipment are all lost, and the player needs to collect materials and build equipment to arm themselves during the journey; the giant tree cliffs that the player can climb in the running map, withstand the baptism of magma and storms, fight with powerful and mysterious hostile forces, etc.; the modeling of the open world of the reverse water cold shown in the video is also quite eye-catching, extreme weather, powerful monsters, special events and terrain environment overlap together. Players can feel the visual shock from the video for a few seconds, and they don't know if it will become a heavy game against the cold water after the official launch.
In short, the big manufacturers have aligned themselves with the "Original God", but they are riveted enough, and the IP and themes that can be used are used, but do they have any products that can become the second "Original God"? Let's wait until the product is online before judging.
