MTL - Underworld Game Producer-Chapter 40 A device capable of changing the future gaming market

Escape 2 officially started production, and Li Wen announced the news of the sequel in the bib.

'Thank you for the love of the players. In order to let players who like horror games continue to enjoy the feast of horror, Escape 2 has officially started production. '

'Different from Escape 1, Escape 2 is located in a secret mountain village that is not known to the public... The main character is also a reporter, not a soldier, please stay tuned, players. '

"Also, the producer of Escape 2 is Zhang Chunsheng, the head of the Escape 1 production team of our company. He has a much better understanding of horror games than I do. In terms of horror, he will never disappoint the players and will not make them afraid. dare not explore. '

"The game script of Escape 1 was completed by Zhang Chunsheng and I, of course, Escape 2 is no exception. '

In addition, a promotional video of Escape 2 was put on, which is actually not much different from the screen of Escape 1.

After all, the image quality of a game engine that costs more than 100,000 yuan is already difficult to distinguish between true and false.

However, Escape 2 also uses the upgraded engine just purchased, and the advanced intelligent AI can allow players to experience deeper fears.

As for whether there will be an online mode in Escape 2, there will definitely be.

In order to take care of more players' acceptance of fear, the game is much easier than Escape 1, and the sense of terror will be reduced.

This is only the difficulty of the easy mode, the difficulty of the normal mode will be far beyond escape 1.

This was decided by Li Wen through the sales of Escape 1.

In this world, most players seem to have low resistance to pure horror games.

It is indeed very difficult for a top-ranked horror game like Escape to explode in sales at the beginning.

Now that Escape 1 has been online for two weeks, and the sales volume has reached 3.5 million copies, the sales speed has slowed down.

This is a test of the waters, and it has detected the player's resistance to horror games.

He plans to proceed step by step, first strengthen the players' resistance to horror games, and then apply a strong medicine.

There is one more important thing that is enough to change the news of the future game market.

Xiaotian came to the company again yesterday, mysteriously.

She learned from a certain source that the VR virtual reality technology equipment used by the military will soon be put into the civilian market.

This is not comparable to those VRs on the market.

This kind of VR technology covers neurology and so on, and there are things that Li Wen can't figure out at all.

In short, this VR continues to simulate real sensations through the nervous system.

It can reach about 50% of realistic realism.

The reason why this high-tech technology will flow into the civilian market is that the military has developed new equipment that 100% simulates the real feeling.

The army is about to be replaced, so it will flow into the civilian market.

The reason for the delayed tickets of the Gilded series is that it is preparing to turn the latest game of Gilded into a game with new VR technology.

Penguin Games is doing this, and it is still using the game series of the mainstay, the courage is not ordinary, after all, it is a big company with money and willfulness!

As for when the new VR equipment will be officially launched, Xiaotian doesn't know, but she said it will be soon.

Nowadays, games are generally made into VR versions, even escape is no exception.

Generally, if you buy the game body, it will come with a VR version...you don't need to spend more money to buy it.

VR has been developed for a long time from its birth to now, and it is already very portable. However, due to some defects, it is not as convenient to operate as a mouse and keyboard.

Therefore, many players do not like to use VR devices for games.

Over time, the VR version of the game is not particularly optimized, and the operation feels like shit.

This is the shortcoming of VR devices currently on the market.

It must also be equipped with VR handles, motion capture cameras, etc...

And it also needs a very large and empty space, although there are also VR treadmills specially used for games.

But that price can directly dissuade most players.

Therefore, players with average conditions really don't like VR very much.

However, the new VR equipment that the army is about to put into civilian use is different.

Neural manipulation, no additional equipment required.

You only need to lie on the bed and choose a comfortable position to play the game happily.

If this kind of equipment wants to be widely promoted, the price will definitely not be very high, and every player can easily buy it.

The only thing is that the game carrier of this new device is definitely not compatible with the games currently on the market.

Need to make a new version...

This is completely different from the concept of porting games from consoles to PC platforms.

The underlying structure of the game is different.

Needs to be redone from the bottom up.

This requires the production team to make two identical games with different structures.

For large factories, there is no problem, but for small and medium factories, there is no financial support at all.

The game landscape will definitely change in the future.

Small and medium-sized game factories will definitely choose more advanced VR games instead of continuing to stick to consoles and PCs.

After learning about the news of the new VR device, Li Wen has already started to change the company's future development thinking.

The only problem right now is that I don't know when the new device will be available.

a year? two years?

Happy Paradise is not a game company with a deep foundation like Penguin, and it simply cannot afford it.

Therefore, the production of Escape 2 and Resident Evil must not be stopped.

With luck, the new device of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will be released one month after the game is released.

Unfortunately, the game is about to be completed, and then new devices are launched, so I can only bite the bullet and make the game.

After all, a VR device that can simulate real feelings is the ideal game state for countless players.

Although there is only about 50% of the simulation feeling, it is much better than the current stage of VR with only one screen.

However, since it is a new device, the production cost of each game will inevitably increase.

After all, there needs to be taste, touch, pain, etc. in the game...

The production cost of a game is estimated to be several times higher.

If a small and medium-sized factory makes such a game, it probably has to empty itself out.

But if you don't do it, you will be left far behind by other companies, and you will never be able to catch up.

At that time, the game market will definitely be very tragic.

Now that the news has been known in advance, no matter whether the new equipment is put into the civilian market is true or not.

Li Wen felt that there must be nothing wrong with paying attention to it.

Now I have to save some money.

Otherwise, when the time comes, if there is no money to make a new game, it will be a pain in the **** to death.

The future game market will become bigger and bigger due to the addition of new devices.

Because of the neural control, even people who have never played games before may spend money to buy a copy to try it out.

Not to mention the players who are addicted to the game.

Let's imagine.

An R18 beautiful girl game, you can do shameful things with beautiful girls, and it can also bring real interaction to players.

Doesn't this ride a horse and buy it immediately?

Games will stop being games and become a second reality...
