Chivalrous feelings.

This is a sentiment that every Chinese person has.

For domestic gamers, it is impossible to say that they are not interested in such feelings.

But......

But how difficult is it to make something that perfectly reflects this feeling? Even Jester, who knows the direction of the game in the next twenty years, has only vaguely seen the shadow of this feeling in "Shenmue".

In the 80s, the Kowloon Walled City, the rivers and lakes mixed with dragons and snakes, the heroes of the green forest in the black words, the green dragon and the white tiger and the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu organized the conspiracy, this kind of semi-empty history is not like the Hong Kong-made kung fu films at its peak, Qian Xiaohao's 82 years of "The One Who Came Out of the Walled City" The beginning of the follow-up is a very authentic record of the grassroots life of the walled city, which is a scarce life experience today.

Coupled with the kung fu journey of the Tai Chi Grandmaster, who is adventurous to learn the art of solving puzzles and making friends, there are very few games and movies now.

And in terms of action, it is also very original.

Tony Jia's fights are also extremely exciting, and the films that are not tired of watching dozens of times are still "Jingwu Heroes", "Drunken Fist 2", "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Plan A" and the like.

The picture of "Shenmue" itself has a style, old, but elegant, and it is unusually in tune with the martial arts feelings it promotes.

Of course, for the sake of this faint feeling, "Shenmue" also sacrificed a lot of fun, such as not being able to fight on the street and other destructive behaviors, which may be one of the reasons for the failure.

If you have played "Like a Dragon" and "Bloody Scoundrel", you may think that their fighting system is very good, of course, but to say that the sense of blow reaches the level of punches like the movie of Yuan Heping as a martial arts director, it may not be enough.

Probably only Namco's "King's Landing". There are only a few "Ninja Dragons" and so on.

And "Shenmue", which was completely born from "VR Warrior", is naturally one of them, compared to "Like a Dragon", the sense of blow is very down-to-earth and realistic, and there will be obvious concussions when you are hit instead of passing your hands and feet through the opponent's body.

Due to the problem of 3D perspective, either make "Iron Fist", "VR Warrior" and other left and right battles, or multiplayer battles to learn "King's Landing", which may also be a problem for the sequel to "Shenmue", and see that the charm of fighting can be better reflected than the pursuit of long continuous skills, after all, the master's moves are three or five times. The grasp between the electric light and flint is the harvest of long-term practice and the fun of fighting.

Where is the realism of the fighting system embodied?

That is to make an authentic restoration of the real boxing, or what you can call the national martial arts of martial arts - this is not the kind of ethereal bells and whistles that come and go with flower fists and embroidered legs, but real fighting.

If you have ever been shocked by the shot of Zhang Zhen in "The Grandmaster", who directly opened the door and elbowed Xiao Shenyang without borrowing, then look at Shenmue.

It can be said that this is the RPG work with the best degree of restoration of Bajiquan at present.

Why do you have to limit yourself to an RPG?

Because there is also Yuki Jing in "VR Warrior", which is the same mother as "Shenmue".

Wen has Tai Chi to secure the world, and Wu has eight poles to determine the world. These two martial arts theories are broad and profound. Take the top elbow as an example, it is a short hit in itself, and it is not used close to the body, and it runs directly to shoot the long-distance target. That's nonsense.

To maximize lethality, double the relative speed at the moment of killing, hit the other with the hardest and the softest, and elbow to the weakness. At the same time, the eight poles pay attention to cross strength. It is a reasonable bone support to ensure that the energy is concentrated at the force application point. Compared with the Huang Tianlou scene in "Shenmue 2", Liang used the power of the bullfighting to use the elbow of the outer door, and at the same time straightened the other hand to maintain the cross strength. The posture of the boss being hit is also more reasonable.

The second is the scenery and customs, the tranquility and delicacy of Yokosuka, the neon of Hong Kong, the scattered terrain, the antique courtyards, and the morality and sinister nature of the rivers and lakes that can be seen everywhere, making you feel like you are in the martial arts.

These features that should have belonged to our own games are now basically nowhere to be found in our own games.

Moreover, the pure oriental music in the game is difficult to hear in the top blockbuster zuò games.

This kind of oriental-style swinging spirit is light and elegant, think about being able to hear in a game like "Mohu Luojia", "Life Is Like This", "Streamer Flying", "Thoughts" in Tsui Hark's "Green Snake", ...... What kind of feeling should such a god-level soundtrack be?

For Jester, it was better than hearing Hans in COD6. The soundtrack at the end of the season also made it difficult for him to control his feelings.

"Shenmue" is not only the originator of sandbox games, but also the originator of "game music film soundtracking", in the era of "Shenmue", only two game soundtracks in the world have reached the realm of "movie", one is "Shenmue" and the other is "Silent Hill".

The soundtracks of both of these are Japanese.

Take a look at these names.

Osamu Yoshi, Yuzo Ko, Tsuyoshi Yanagikawa, Ri Murata, Kameiji Inouchi, Nobuhiko Kashihara, Hayato Matsuo, Toshiyuki Watanabe......

Almost all of them are Japanese national composers, and the orchestral version of "Shenmue シェンムー" played by the Kanagawa Symphony Orchestra also has Jia Pengfang's erhu performance, and it can even be said that this is a tall game soundtrack composed with life and soul, blood and passion, and it was born in 1999, and it was shocking.

There are many, too many things to remember in Shenmue.

However, memories can only be memories.

Jester sighed, his mind was a little chaotic now, and he couldn't concentrate, so he simply threw the pen in his hand aside, and stopped some of his ideas for the new game.

However, the main body of the game has already thought about it, and it is not an overnight thing to flesh out a game.

The most important thing now is the carnival, after all, even if you want to start the development plan of this game, at least after New Year's Day this year.

At this time.

Jester received a strange phone call.

It's not that the caller is weird, it's the content of the call.

The call was from the sales department.

They said that they had just received a somewhat strange order, the order was placed by the Pentagon, and the goods requested were their handheld game consoles Gameboy, and the sales department was a little puzzled why the Pentagon would want these handheld game consoles, and they would not be surprised if it was a few hundred or one or two thousand units, after all, it was almost the end of the year, and maybe it was a pre-ordered Christmas gift.

However, they booked 300,000 units in one go.

And it was required to be delivered by mid-December, and of course, the Gameboy has been selling very well, so there are no problems in terms of production.

300,000 units is not an unacceptable number for Gameboy, in fact, according to the current inventory of Gameboy, this order from the Pentagon can be completed in early November, in fact, the European branch wants more than this number of orders every month.

However, this order was, after all, offered by the Pentagon.

Therefore, the sales department still called Jester and told Genjest about this unusual order.

After receiving this call, Jester was silent for a while, and after a moment of distraction, he thanked the person in the sales department on the phone, and said a few words of encouragement before hanging up the phone.

He had indeed forgotten one thing before.

After all, during this time, he was busy with the time of the game, almost all the experiences were put into the experience, even the time with Claudia was very little, let alone paying attention to other things, in fact, he had not paid attention to anything unexpected except for the news of the game in the past few months, until today, he received this call.

When he heard the Pentagon's order for this 300,000 Gameboy handheld, Jester reacted a little.

Next year, something big will happen that will shock the world, and it will be at the beginning of the year.

Of course, it was not the collapse of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the Soviet Union was not the beginning of the year, but the Gulf War, which broke out in January next year, taught the whole world a lesson about how modern warfare should be fought in the Gulf War.

In Jester's memory.

During the Gulf War, the Pentagon did order a large number of Gameboys from Nintendo that year and sent them to the soldiers who participated in the war to relieve the loneliness of the soldiers.

However, for Jester, being the protagonist of a story he has read before is not the most important thing.

He picked up the phone and called his assistant.

"Sort it out with me, starting in July, all the way up to the current affairs section of The New York Times, the Washington Post, and send it to my office."

After getting an answer from his assistant to do it immediately, Jester hung up the phone.

Jester's assistant was still very fast, and within twenty minutes, he was delivering him a thick layer of hundreds of newspapers.

A company like Mars Entertainment, in addition to ordering a large number of newspapers and periodicals in its own field, such as the New York Times, also has to subscribe to a few copies, it doesn't matter if you read it or not, but you must have it.

Just in case you need it, you won't be able to find it.

After getting this thick stack of hundreds of newspapers, Jester let the main force out first, and then looked through them one by one. (To be continued......)
