TGame – A PvE oriented online shooter

First teased early in April and subsequently revealed as Tencent Games’ first self-developed MMOFPS, TGame remained shrouded pretty much in mystery until the official website opened up. In brief, TGame is an online shooter developed using the Unreal 3 Engine, with a primary focus placed on the Player Vs Environment (PvE) section of the game. However, does this mean that Player Vs Player (PvP) will be overlooked? Below is an interview with TGame’s producer. More information can also be found here.

Q: What genre of game is TGame based on? What is the game’s storyline?

TGame is a MMOFPS specifically focused on the PvE elements. The storyline takes place in the Middle East in year 2018, where 2 military factions (Resistance and GSDU) are warring.

Q: How is the graphics level in the game, seeing it is developed using Unreal 3 Engine?

The level of details found in the game will be as realistic as it can get, which will be sure to please players. With such clear and high definition graphics, players will also feel more attached to the game. The designs of weapons and characters will be astonishing as well.

Q: Which market segment is TGame being targeted at?

It should be the players who are more into PvE elements. But not to forget, TGame has several PvP modes as well.

Q: With TGame focused on PvE, does it mean the game will not be having competitive tournaments?

Well, even though TGame is aiming at PvE audience, we are also developing various PvP features at the same time. In fact, there will be a large-scale PvP feature where thousands of players will be able to get onto the field at the same time with thousands of spectators as well. To add on, the PvE modes in TGae are not easy, the monsters will not just stand and let players kill. These training will prepare players for PvP modes better.

Q: Are the PvE modes in TGame similar to instant dungeons found in traditional MMORPGs? Will players get to choose their own difficulty mode? How many players are recommended to clear one?

Yes, the PvE modes in TGame will be similar to that of instant dungeons. There will be 3 different modes for players to choose from. I will suggest 4 to 8 players in a party to fully enjoy them.

Q: TGame is a title developed here in China, yet the background story is based overseas. Are there concerns that players will not be able to accept such designs? Will there be local themed maps?

TGame is primarily base don overseas maps and regions, but according to our players’ feedback and demands, we are able to develop new maps as well. This is the advantage of being a self-developed title.

Q: Are there any steps taken to prevent the possible threat of hackers and botters?

Once again, it is a big advantage for TGame to be a self-developed title. The team has experimented and tested various different scenarios and programs, each step helping us to make TGame into a better game with minimal exploits going on. Even after the game launch, we will continue to find ways and methods to stop the exploiters.

Q: When can the final game title be confirmed? When will the first beta phase begin?

We have a list of possible official names for TGame now and we will announce the final title soon. The first Closed Beta of the game starts on 28th April.
