"Firefall", produced by the Red5 team in the American Pax game show in March 2011, surpassed becoming the most popular game on the show, even dubbed "World of Warcraft with Guns" by the American media. After the exhibition, the Beijing media interviewed the two leaders who will go to Korea to participate in the game seminar.  They are the president and CEO of Red 5 Studios in the United States, the most familiar identity of the Chinese player is "World of Warcraft" former project leader, is now making the "Firefall" game Mark Kern and the Nineth City Tonypark. When you are in World of Warcraft, you like to shoot and then have the "Firefall" Mark Kern said, also in Blizzard to do World of Warcraft, often in the spare time to play shooting games, I also like to play.  After leaving Blizzard, I want to do a game like this, and add some MMO elements to the shooting game.  Compared with other shooting products, "Firefall" expanded the definition of online shooting game, players in addition to fighting each other, can also cooperate to carry out the task.  For the "World of Warcraft" rating, Mark believes there are two main reasons: First, the team's background, many of the developers in the Firefall are from Blizzard's World of Warcraft.  Second, "World of Warcraft" is a successful example of the game industry, the average person when the evaluation is based on its standards, so they have encouraged us to do not mean worse than World of Warcraft.  At the same time, Mark also mentioned, do not want to compare with "World of Warcraft", because of this, the idea will be limited. "Firefall" The Chinese agent did not determine that the nine city is only the shareholders in the 2010 net Fair, nine city has declared that the "Firefall" of the Chinese agent has not been determined, is expected to be tested at the end of 2011.  The Tonypark and Mark confirmed this again. Tonypark said that Red 5 is an independent company, how they develop in China, brand management is their own decision, and Mark added that it is too early to discuss "Firefall" in China's proxy, Red 5 has its own website,  Interested players can find relevant information on the website.  When it comes to the game's release plan in China, Mark tight-lipped, only to say that after the public test of Firefall in the United States, "Firefall" will be presented to players in China as soon as possible.  As for "Firefall" in China's future, Tony said that the current homogeneity of the situation is more serious, in the "Firefall" came out, should bring different feelings.  If Blizzard can make me a competitor, it's my crowning honor. Blizzard's new book "Titan" is a shooting class online games, it will inevitably and "Firefall" will form a competitive relationship, (note: This message by the Tencent game to verify that there is no official source) When asked a similar question, Mark said he didn't know much about the Titan, and if the players thought the two games were quite alike, he would work harder to make the firefall better, and also said that if Blizzard took me as a competitor to the future of Titan (Weibo), I'll take that as a supreme honor!
