Chapter 753: Justification (3)
Everyone's faces were a little puzzled.
In this day and age, games are definitely not as deeply studied as they will be in the future. The first era is an era of steady development, and some of them can dimly perceive it, as if an artist has reached a bottleneck, but they lack the vision from a high position, lack 20 years of experience, and lack the earth-shaking impact of the information explosion era on electronic entertainment and full entertainment.
Qin Yuanfeng looked at them and didn't continue, these people here, including Shozo Kaga, the father of the fire emblem, the three heroes of Blizzard, a large number of computer programming and animation experts from the Soviet Union, and representatives of the Hollywood special effects team, they are not short of experience, but they lack the opportunity to break the word.
What he wants to give now is this opportunity.
No one cares about giving easily, and only when they really know how to do it and how to do it, will they see this experience as a treasure.
"Qin Dong ......" Kaga Shozo's face was a little hesitant: "I understand what you mean...... Is this let's unify the style? All the groups in one? But why can't we pass? ”
"The original artwork and the program, the system are completely different groups, and there is no integration between them." Alan couldn't help but speak, this month, their group of ambitious people has been suppressed for too long, but there is no reason, how can they bear it?
Qin Yuanfeng looked at everyone with a smile, and there were three words written on everyone's face, I was not convinced!
Yes, you Qin Dong created Pokemon with one hand, and single-handedly created the miracle of appearing on the Sankei Daily for four years, and the three first parties in the electronic entertainment industry all appeared on the Christmas financial report, how can those old electronic industry be embarrassed? But we are by no means bastards! Each and every one of them has absolute confidence in themselves!
"Not satisfied with the result?" He smiled and took a sip of his coffee: "Actually, I like your momentum very much, and what I am most afraid of is not having this kind of momentum." ”
No one spoke, but everyone's eyes said what they wanted to say.
I am indeed not convinced! Not satisfied!
Qin Yuanfeng nodded: "First of all, let's start with the original painting. ”
"The original art is the basis for determining the style of a game. A style of painting is likely to identify a certain user group. Some styles, very niche. I don't know if you've ever read the comic Fist of the North Dipper. In the original work, Wu Lunzun and Tetsuo Hara, their painting style is based on sketches, and the proportions of the characters are rarely considered. However, the manga has a very loyal following of fans. That's what they decided on was the comic. ”
Kaga Shozo's eyebrows moved slightly, as a Japanese, he knows a lot about comics, not to mention that he is doing original paintings.
"There is also a manga called JOJO Bizarre Adventure, and the style of the original Araki Hirohiko is similar to that of Hokuto God Fist. Similarly, there is a group of unusually committed fans who are not JOJOs who do not watch. ”
No one is talking, everyone is listening, they are holding a breath in their hearts, a month of suppression, you must listen to it today!
"But there's also a manga called Dragon Ball." Qin Yuanfeng's voice was slightly emotional: "Its sales, animation ratings, serialization popularity, and sales volume of single books are more than ten times that of Beidou Shenquan and JOJO." And it is currently the most successful mainstream Japanese comic that has entered the European and American markets. ”
"The game has nothing to do with this?" He stood up and said to himself: "The national RPG Dragon Quest, spending tens of millions of dollars to ask Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama to paint, for what?" ”
There are two answers, the first is Akira Toriyama's global popularity. Second, the style of painting! ”
"Any game, comics, two-dimensional things, the first one, first of all, is the art style. It determines whether the reader, the player, will follow along. Games with bad graphics may not be the ones with the lowest sales, but they are certainly the first players to put them on hold. ”
The original group is listening carefully, because ...... Suddenly, they felt something different.
A...... The slight difference that came out of their hearts made them feel as if their hearts were beating with it.
Qin Yuanfeng looked at their expressions, their faces showed curiosity and curiosity, as well as confidence in themselves. He understands why, in the future, maybe two years, this topic will be a subject of study for any company. But now, I'm afraid that Aienix himself can't explain why he invited Akira Toriyama.
Without it, it's '92, the game era has just been converted from eight-bit pixels to sixteen-bit pixels, MD and SFC have only been released for a year, and eight-bit pixels have no painting style at all, because too few pixels can't make up a painting style, sixteen is just starting, and no one can sort out the thoughts in it.
This is the high vantage point brought by the prophet, and it is as if he is looking down from a high mountain, and the pros and cons are clear at a glance.
He smiled, for now, they just feel different, but the next words are probably going to completely change their view of game development.
"The Other Side of the Clouds and Mountains is the first 3D game in history, and I'm sure you've seen its trailer. And what you're handing in is thinking about 3D in 2D! The biggest difference between 3D games is modeling. You can draw it in 2D and you're done, but in 3D, you need a model team to model the characters, scenes, and props! Have you ever considered how many polygons you would need for a character, a scene, if you did it? ”
"Polygons?" I couldn't help but ask, the people here have never been exposed to 3D, what is polygon?
"It's a specialized 3D production software." Qin Yuanfeng took a deep breath, this is also something that everyone knows a few years later: "The composition of any model is mostly constructed with two polygons, triangles and quadrilaterals. The original art you gave is complicated, and the modeling team can't complete it. But how much effort does it take to rig the model, do motion capture, and render the special effects after that's done? The cost will increase cumulatively, you are burning dollars! ”
The original group was shocked when they heard it, but then everyone pouted in unison.
When it comes to burning dollars, who can compare to you? Are you embarrassed to blame others for burning dollars?
"If that's all there is to it, forget it, but you're missing the most important part." Qin Yuanfeng's voice continued, it was time to show the real technology: "I have hinted too many times, the other side of the clouds and mountains is the experience of crossing the earth. And you only gave two sets of original paintings! One group of Europe, one group of China! ”
"They passed through the Silk Road, through the countries of Europe, and they didn't want other models?"
"The differences in customs, weapons, and legendary artifacts in each country bring about the overall style positioning, such as Persia and Europe are completely different, such as Japan, such as China. The style is completely different! Would players be disappointed to see that they came to Damascus in the same style as in Europe? A sense of substitution! The most successful part of this game is the sense of substitution that envelops the world! When you draw the original painting, you ignore the customs of various countries, once the sense of substitution is lost, how can we break through this biggest enemy? ”
His voice was a little loud, not angry, but excited, finally about to face the biggest enemy of this game, the sense of anticipation, excitement, and especially the sense of accomplishment born from his own hands, it was simply indescribable.
There was silence.
Shozo Kaga's thoughtful eyes no longer knew when they would shine. As the leader of the original art group, he immediately knew what it meant!
Sense of substitution...... A layer of cold sweat unconsciously secreted from his palms, he really didn't expect this layer, across the world, representing not only conflicts, but also the sense of substitution of players in various countries. And how to increase this sense of substitution, so that players can walk to a place and feel as far as their eyes can see: yes, that's right, that's the style! This is my homeland!
At this time, their original art team succeeded.
"Team leader......" A team member beside him couldn't help but whisper: "What Qin Dong said is right, we really didn't expect this ......"
Before the words fell, Shozo Kaga had already raised his hand with a frown.
"More than ......" his voice was very solemn: "Definitely more than ...... This is the first step in the evolution from the second dimension to the third dimension, and President Qin's words are more than that......"
"And?" A member of the Japanese team asked suspiciously.
Shozo Kaga didn't answer, as a hero of the video entertainment industry, how sensitive is he to games? He felt ...... In this sentence, there is another layer of meaning, although he didn't say it, but he felt that it was more than that.
"Everyone." Qin Yuanfeng said solemnly: "Pixel, evolve to 2D, 2D, evolve to 3DO, electronic entertainment will be completely changed." And you, the ones who change it! ”
His voice echoed through the room, deafening: "In the process, there will be countless issues. Now, I announce that the Qin Dynasty has officially established the Department of Game Psychology. As the original marketing department, it is aimed at the psychology of all players. In the psychology department, each team leader must go to the department for further training. At present, the department has several major topics. Now, what I want to tell you is the first big hurdle on the other side of the clouds and mountains. ”
He "swiped" and pulled down the projection screen rolled up behind him, on which eight big characters had been written.
"See you again......" he said with some emotion, "Second Age...... Trench ...... for all games The biggest hurdle that any company that wants to break into the global market must overcome ......"
The beauty of the mean, the style at a glance.
Kaga Shozo's eyes widened suddenly, these eight words were very simple, but before contacting Qin Yuanfeng, he finally felt it...... Behind those layers of clouds, look down on the general light!
Not only him, but everyone's eyes suddenly deepened. They are like a construction team, with drawings, but ......
They don't know how to build it!
Now, these eight words seem to see the light of day. Especially in the original art group, everyone looked at those eight words in amazement.
In my heart, something is slowly collapsing.
Collapse so fast, so fast.
It was the past ten years, for the industry to summarize, pixel games to summarize the various rules. Now, a month later, they don't have any idea of rebuttal, and they are shocked by these eight words.
The era of 2D is coming to an end, and the era of 3D is coming.
If it was a summary of ten years before, these eight words...... It is the summary of more than 20 years of the global game industry in the era of the information explosion, not all the elites of the Japanese game industry!
Not only console games, but also computer games, online games, and competitive games, the best of the best!
