With a development budget of 7 billion yen, it is the ultimate masterpiece of the Guinness Book of World Records. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When converted into dollars, it's about 50 million or 60 million—dollars worth a lot more than they were 20 years later.

As a gamer, Ichiro Kuroshima bought the game "Shenmue" in the first place.

Instead of going home to play the game, he took the disc to Animic's staff lounge, which is equipped with most of the consoles on the market today, even the 3DO console, which is often compared to D's Food.

Animic's cultural atmosphere is different from other Japanese game manufacturers, and the atmosphere here is more free-spirited, and everyone's opinion on games has their own unique opinions.

In fact, except for Senxia, most of the employees on Animic's side are very optimistic about Shenmue.

- You know, in this era, GTA is still a 90-degree top-down view game, Tomb Raider is completely polygonal, and Final Fantasy is also the era of 2D textures and pseudo-3D.

Animic's own game engine for Dark Souls uses a large part of the code of the Shenmue engine, and the more they refer to Shenmue's engine, the more these developers admire Shenmue's strength.

Combined with DreamCast's unique lighting effects, Shenmue was able to do things that the PS2 couldn't do with ease.

Well, that's right, in the eyes of developers such as Ichiro Kuroshima, the effect on DC is definitely better than that of PS2.

In many places, DC can write special effects at the bottom layer, such as many light and shadow effects, which can only be achieved at this level, and on PS2, there is no way to achieve it.

PS2Although they haven't seen the physical machine yet, they already have a development machine and a development kit, and through this part of the situation, it is easy to find that the image effect that can be achieved on PS2 is actually inferior to DC.

"Dark Souls" was developed for PS2 and PC, but developers, including Hidetaka Miyazaki, also felt that this work would have the best effect if it was on DC.

But alas, Mori Xia didn't agree to the launch of a DC version.

The scheduled development time of Dark Souls is around 01, and Mori Xia thinks that DC is finished by then, so there is no need to develop it at all.

"Van Gogh's paintings were only popular after his death, and probably the same was true of D.C. and Shenmue. ”

Senxia once said this to others.

Kuroshima Ichiro and others, of course, are not convinced!

After returning to the Animic club, he saw Huang Lei, Miyazaki Hidetaka and other colleagues, and the big guys turned their heads after seeing Ichiro Kuroshima, and then looked at him with a blazing face.

"Guys—I've got it!"

He raised the DC game board in his hand.

Shenmue.

"Oh oh oh!"

Everyone exclaimed.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get started!"

Some people are already impatient to watch the game.

Kuroshima was unequivocal, and everyone came to the lounge together, but Kuroshima turned on the DC game console and put it in.

After the reading is over, they enter the system.

"Oh......!"

At the beginning, what appeared in front of everyone was a cutscene.

The street scene of Yokosuka is displayed in the picture.

The white clouds floating in the sky, the pedestrians on the road, and the extremely delicate street scenes.

All this gives people the feeling of an incomparably shocking feeling.

At the beginning of the story, it is a plot of a hero saving beauty, and the male protagonist Ryo Hazuki saves a girl named Harasaki.

"This is the heroine, right......"

Someone next to him muttered.

This girl named Harasaki is really cute, and she looks like a heroine at a glance.

- But if Mori Xia is here, he will definitely complain.

Because Shenmue's real heroine only appeared in the second part, and she officially debuted, she still has to wait for the end of the second generation......

Of course, people didn't know it at this time, but they were still immersed in Shenmue's technology.

When the hero saves the beauty, there is a fight, which is really good.

"It's all real-time calculus...... Awesome!"

Because it's a real-time calculus, the game's cutscenes are very good, and everyone is dazzled.

"It's amazing! The technology is impeccable!"

"Yes, and the music is perfect!"

It's not just the graphics, but some people noticed that the music in this game is super good!

Perfect music, perfect graphics, perfect show!

All of a sudden, the only thing that appeared in everyone's hearts was the word "perfect".

It's amazing.

"I don't know if we can achieve this effect by then...... someone muttered.

Later, the game of St. Juliana's Hospital, although it also uses an improved engine, but this is only for technical verification, and everyone is not technically mature, so in terms of the current effect, it cannot be done to the extent of Shenmue.

"But we have motion capture technology, and I think our movements are smoother than Shenmue......"

There are also people who feel that their side is not useless.

"But that's not the way the game is going to be like that...... FATE," someone muttered again.

After the game at St. Juliana's Hospital, they will start working on an interactive movie version of FATE/STAY_NIGHT, this version of which Mori Xia decided to put a lot of effort into it, and will also use various motion and facial capture techniques, but the game is a different style of art after all, and it is not so realistic.

Of course, they are still discussing what kind of painting style to use.

"Pay attention to what the people here are saying. Someone else found a subtle place, "Although the lips are moving, the upper half of the face is 'dead'." ”

In the 3D model, the ability to move the mouth is really a very novel place, because even ten years later, in many games, the characters in the 3D model are "ventriloquist masters" who can't speak.

But for Animic, this is an exception.

Senxia's requirement for them is that the face has the highest weight, and the content of the other parts must be ranked after the face.

Because of this design, the system that Animic is developing has a strong focus on the design of the face.

It can be said that in terms of facial expressions, apart from a certain Blizzard, the most studied is Animic here.

In the other parts, everyone compromises the lines and other parts of the game, but the expressions of the characters, on Animic's side, can be said to be the most confident.

Shenmue can also make a very good expression, but that part is only used for CG and technical demonstration, and it is in the information navigation, but the feeling in the actual game is much worse, and on the other hand, Animic can use chess - of course, at the expense of some things.

Finding a little bit of a place that can surpass the "prototype", there is a sense of relief in everyone's hearts.

The second thing that amazes them is the cinematic storyboard in the game.

To be able to reach the cinematic level of a game on the storyboard, MGS2 should be considered to be at the level of the master, but Shenmue was two years earlier than MGS2......

"But why do people in a big eastern country wear cheongsam......"

After the villain "Blue Emperor" who killed his father appeared, Huang Lei complained.

Well, this "villain" is a dressed forgiveness color...... No, it's a man with a green dragon cheongsam and a Qing Dynasty braid......

The expressions of the others also became subtle.

...... Well, everyone has been to some big country in the East.

But how to say it, the BGM and performance effects of this part are still okay, so everyone forgives Sega's laxity, let's go to see the story behind first.

The game is progressive, and Ichiro Kuroshima is skillfully playing the game, which is particularly comfortable, and Shenmue, whether it is the picture or the music, is simply a particularly good enjoyment.

In the game, they also knew that the previous "little sister" was named Harasaki Wang.,It's the male owner's classmate.。

And the QTE system in the battle is also very interesting, both difficult and dynamic, which is really blood-pumping.

It's a good game!

"This kind of sunshine system, we can do it too. Someone suddenly said, "Isn't this the effect that Mr. Xia Sen wants?"

"But on PS2, it's a hassle to do it...... PCs are fine, but the performance requirements are a bit ......"

"So it's still DC, okay!"

“...... Actually, I've always disliked Sega, because it's Animic, so I'm going to say, I don't like Sega!!."

"I don't like Sega either, although I like DC, but sure enough, Sega still can't do it!"

"I don't have any feelings for Sega, but I really like Sony more......"

If it were to be changed to another place, no one would object to it when singing praises, because neon gold is habitually following the crowd, which is a national thing.

But here is Animic.

This place is full of partisanship, and although everyone here is impressed by Shenmue's strength, how can I say it......

There are definitely quite a few "Sogou" and "Ren Dolphin".

At this time, someone immediately jumped out.

"The technology is impeccable, and there's this detail – you see, every drawer here can be opened. ”

In today's world, there is really no one who can do Yo Xi so meticulously.

"You see, the NPCs here, each with their own life, each with their own activity time, is really so detailed. ”

"But according to the plot, this part is really good, this continuity, this sense of realism...... It's the spirit of excellence like a craftsman!"

Ichiro Kuroshima nodded.

This kind of technical question is simply amazing, and such an unprecedented open world makes people want to sigh.

You know, even in the open world, there are few that can do as well as Shenmue. In Shenmue's world, there are many indoor environments that can be entered, and in the future masterpieces, some houses only have a model of the house itself, and as for the inside, there is nothing - look at it, it's you, Assassin's Creed!

"Can your game be made into an open world?" Ichiro Kuroshima looked at Hidetaka Miyazaki next to him, and then he noticed that Hidetaka Miyazaki was frowning.

"This kind of game...... The gameplay seems to be a little subtle, and if the QTE system fails, the mission fails, which is a little more difficult......"

...... the difficulty a bit high?

When Hidetaka Miyazaki said this, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and then everyone else looked at him.

Anyone is qualified to say this, but Miyazaki Hidetaka does not.

"What's wrong with you? I'm telling the truth, the QTE suddenly appears, and then the person dies, it's not okay, at least give him three seconds to struggle!" Miyazaki shouted, "Look, it takes at least three seconds for the dog to pounce on the player, right?"

In Dark Souls, Hidetaka Miyazaki has made the dog a particularly interesting setting, with insidious dogs infesting various places, knocking the player down or taking him into a pit, absolute creativity and routine.

But Hidetaka Miyazaki also gave the players three seconds to react, although it would be empty after being pounced on by the dog...... But it won't die!

Well, that's Hidetaka Miyazaki's mercy.

"Forget it, let's get on with the game. Kuroshima Ichiro turned his head expressionlessly.

Or Shenmue interesting.

This level of 3D modeling can also be done in Lelouch's game, but Lelouch is just a texture, but here, each building can be turned into a scene individually, which is rare.

If you want to go deeper...... Uh, sorry, they haven't been that optimized yet.

No, it's not a matter of optimization anymore, and if you do it in Lelouch, I'm afraid the machine will really explode.

"Eh, it's an arcade!"

You can still play games in the game?!

When this was discovered, everyone was excited.

The game of the game, this situation is really interesting!

Not only can you play arcade machines, but also gacha and billiards, which are wonderful and detailed, so that these people can't wait to enter the world of Shenmue and experience such a wonderful life for themselves.

"That's amazing!"

It's not just one person who sighs like this.

At this moment, everyone at Animic Club was fascinated by the wonderful idea and meticulous setting......

Kuroshima Ichiro was also excited, in terms of technical level, Shenmue really had nothing to say, this was simply not a game, but an art.

And it was at this time that Sakakino Gakuin ......

"Smack!"

Lily flung the handle out of her hand.

"What the hell is this!"

......

I actually fell asleep in seconds......

Sogou Ren Dolphin is just teasing, don't blame OwO.

Shenmue is a very difficult work to explain, and it is not wrong to say that it was born in the wrong era, because it was in that era that Shenmue's greatness was most vividly displayed......

FATE's new work is coming soon, but Violet will not be until January next year.

I'm telling you, Violet's novel is quite interesting OvO

Well, that's right, I'm Kyo Shibuki OvO
