Zhang Guoqiang was excited: "In the place that Sony is most proud of, beat them fiercely!" When I think of the king against the king, I am a little excited! ”

Yang Yun nodded: "Guoqiang, you are in charge of the game program, let's handle this matter together!" Dare to compare the game system with me, and still want to poach people from my company? Sony this is looking for death! ”

This threatening word inspired everyone's fighting spirit, who would dare to compete with Long Teng? It is indeed possible that the total number of games may not be able to fight, but the number of high-quality classic games, the number of platinum palace-level games, who dares to say that they have done Longteng?

Take a look at the game that Mr. Yang shot, he either doesn't shoot, or he makes a shot, which game is not a pioneering work?

"The game "Resident Evil", Lao Jing, you give me Shinji Mikami, and the original plan are ready, I will participate in the design in a few days, and I won't talk about this today."

Inoue nodded, he had heard the name of Shinji Mikami, this employee was either in the Shanghai R&D center, or stayed in the Sega headquarters, and went back to check it out.

Yang Yun continued: "In addition to "Resident Evil", "Thief" can be made slowly, and "The Expendables 2" is the same, my request is to come out by the end of this year, one year is enough. Also, what I said at the Christmas Tsinghua Carnival was not impulsive, and the epic Chinese history game "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" can now also start the project. ”

These games are not simple, "Resident Evil" is a more popular survival horror AVG game than "Tomb Raider", "Thief" has higher requirements for the 3D game engine, and after it is made, it may upgrade the Dragon 3D engine to "Stereoscopic No. 4". "The Expendables 2" is entangled in the PC and SS versions, and is made together with the movie script. As for "Five Thousand Years Up and Down", Yang Yun has no score in his heart at all.

Let's gnaw on this most troublesome bone first!

Yang Yun said: "The game of "Five Thousand Years Up and Down". My idea is to connect Chinese history in series, but I don't want to touch the part of the flood wilderness, and I don't touch it in the Yellow Emperor era, the Xia and Shang Dynasty related to the Romance of the Gods, and the princes of King Wu of Zhou, these contents are not suitable for making historical games because of the fantasy and mythological content, and they will be added to the future as extras or expansion packs. ”

The official history is the official history, and the romance is the romance. The mix of mud and sand should be in a moderate ratio to make a solid game.

Yang Yun said: "My requirement is that the game should not only have historical educational significance, but also have rich gameplay. Tell me about it, how should this game be designed? We started after the Romance of the Gods, spanning thousands of years for such a long time, how can people not get tired of playing, and the more they play, the more they want to play? ”

This is very demanding, and it is no longer achievable by the simple "Dragon Teng Three Kingdoms" series. Because there are too many themes in thousands of years, there is no such a core theme as the Three Kingdoms, and everyone has not thought of any good ideas for a while.

Zhang Guoqiang said: ""Three Kingdoms" is only a part of history, and it has the well-known story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as the foundation. So players can get started quickly and have a sense of substitution. But for an ordinary person like me, I knew Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has seen the Water Margin, and the Song and Yuan dynasties have seen the Legend of the Condor Heroes. The Ming and Qing dynasties and modern times know many points, but how to string them together with a line. This needs to be carefully considered! ”

Yes, everyone feels the same way!

Chinese education is like this, the book knowledge of history class is the same thing, other knowledge acquisition channels are only television and newspapers and other media, literary novels are not very developed, in most people's impression, many dynasties in ancient Chinese history are blank, such as the Zhou Dynasty, five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the vast majority of people can't even count the dynasties, just know a Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Ma Liang said: "Can it be made into an RPG mode?" We set up an immortal cultivator to experience the 4,000-year-old history from the perspective of a bystander, and feel the historical changes through his eyes. ”

"You're foolish! How do historical games relate to cultivating immortals? This is not the Legend of Sword and Fairy! ”

"No, it won't! An old monster who has lived for thousands of years, just to record history? ”

Everyone criticized, blew their beards and stared, Ma Liang shrunk his neck, and didn't dare to talk nonsense......

Hearing this, Yang Yun laughed dumbly, the first thing he thought of was Han Li from the Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivators, didn't this person live for thousands of years?

Han Li was born in Qingniu Town before cultivating immortals, and he was a great accomplishment in his infancy, hundreds of years have passed, Qingniu Town is still the same old age, after smuggling into the spirit realm, the human race has been cultivating for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, to be more serious, the two industrial revolutions have entered the era of modernization and high-tech, and as soon as the artillery laser weapon comes out, he is still afraid of a demon beast with a hammer......

Thinking far, Yang Yun vetoed this construction: "The history that lasts for thousands of years is difficult to complete with only one protagonist of the immortal cultivator, and the most important thing is, how to let the immortal cultivator participate in the historical events?" It's hard to get! ”

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes lit up: "I thought of the idea of the "Terminator" movie and the novel "Xun Qin"! Isn't there a time machine reborn back, a modern special forces, in order to solve the many questions raised by modern social historians, the time machine has traveled back to the past many times, participated in the heavy dà event, completed the task even if it passed, returned to the modern era, and then entered the next heavy dà event, without having to spend the boring time of the peaceful era, only join in the critical period! ”

That's a good idea! Yang Yun began to think about it, if the Tang Dynasty was taken as an example.

You can give Li Yuan and Li Shimin a copy of the Tang Dynasty Founding War game, a real-time strategy game type, command the Li family's army to fight other princes, and finally set foot on the enemy base and unify the Tang Dynasty.

Next up is the conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, making the crusade against the Turks an adventure RPG replica game, or a comprehensive RPG in the mode of Warcraft 1.

It is necessary for Wu Zetian, the female emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to mention it and make a palace fight RPG copy game.

Behind it is the Anshi Rebellion, make a copy of the real-time strategy game......

In this way, players follow the timeline again and again, taking on the role of a character or faction, completing quests and returning to the modern day, so that there is neither a false historical education nor a feeling of being unsubstitutable.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "This idea is partially adopted!" Everyone continues to speak freely......"

Zhang Guoqiang was encouraged and a little happy, but his good friend Ma Liang couldn't help it, and said: "You are a multi-protagonist, players are easy to doubt." And the heavy dà event you mentioned, for example, Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, according to the official history, the player must play Wu Sangui's side, so that he can win, so that it is in line with history.

But Wu Sangui was a traitor in the eyes of the Ming people at that time, and you let the player who had just finished the task of protecting the family and defending the country in the Ming Dynasty play a traitor? Also, it is the official history that he led the Qing soldiers into the customs, and when Kangxi withdrew the three feudatories, he became the anti-Qing camp again, the player played Kangxi and killed Wu Sangui, please, half an hour ago the player was still Wu Sangui, what will the players think? ”

Zhang Guoqiang was speechless for a while, this is indeed a problem, the protagonist changes too quickly.

Yang Yun waved his hand, disapproving: "This is a matter of degrees of freedom." The game can have the default history process of the system, or there can be a preference process of the players' own preferences, we allow players to choose their own forces, and make the game a high degree of freedom! ”

Everyone was speechless, but Ma Liang didn't understand it, and stammered and asked, "How can this limit the freedom of design?" In case the player kills Wu Sangui, how will the Qing Dynasty enter the customs? If the player controls the Ming army to go out of the customs to fight, and it drags on for hundreds of years without perishing, and the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished by 1995, isn't it completely impossible to continue the main story? ”

Yang Yun laughed and said, "Why are you so brainless? In the important historical event of Wu Sangui leading the Qing soldiers into the customs, regardless of which force the protagonist is, anyway, after completing the task, the protagonist is going back to modern times, and we will replace it with Wu Sigui to lead the Qing soldiers into the customs. None of this matters, what matters is that the game has a canonical main story, but players are free to play with multiple outcomes.

These results will not affect the main line of history, just for the player's own amusement, you can continue to play Wu Sangui when the three feudatories are withdrawn, and it doesn't matter if you kill Kangxi and overthrow the Qing Dynasty, just like you play the Three Kingdoms, use Liu Bei to unify the Three Kingdoms, do you really think that Cao Cao was killed by Liu Bei? ”

Zhao Yongping rarely spoke on the creativity of the game system, and said: "Ma Liang, if you can't figure it out, you go and look through the table of contents of any book, there are the first, second, and third parts, each of which has ten chapters, and each chapter has a few subsections. The department is the dynasty, the chapter is a certain emperor, and the subsection is a copy of various games. That's the case, Mr. Yang? ”

Yang Yun applauded: "Ma Liang, look at it, you are still a game planner!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Ma Liang's big face, he just didn't turn the corner for a while, using the table of contents of the book as an analogy, how could he not figure it out?

The official history is the skeleton of the game, but the content of the dungeon can be ever-changing, the lazy people themselves follow the official history to go mainstream, and fanatical players are more likely to explore the whole game to find the maximum degree of freedom for the pleasure.

After Yang Yun decided on the big tone, the designers began to think about the details.

Zhang Guoqiang said: "Mr. Yang, from the two major characteristics of time travel and high degree of freedom, I think the workload of this game is probably not something that can be completed in one or two years, with a history of more than 3,000 years, there are too many things to write about, and the number of subsections in the book catalog is almost endless!" ”

Everyone has this kind of doubt, just a casual Qing Dynasty, hundreds of major events are estimated to be unstoppable, and there are many types of games, small and cumbersome.

Yang Yun nodded, stood up and said solemnly: "Then next, let me tell you what is called a game platform and what is a sandbox game!" (To be continued......)
