Chapter 11 Interviews
Xiao Yu walked out of the financial hut with a happy face.
The reporter of Entertainment Weekly, who was squatting outside, saw the person talking out and immediately posted it:
"Do you have time now?"
Xiaoyu was surprised, this very pleasing reporter hasn't left yet? Come to think of it, no media outlet has its own personal interviews.
"If you're free, ask whatever you want."
"Do you have an extremely strong team behind you?
I mean, a big project like the Age of Empires that requires a lot of historical material would take a long time if you were alone.
And you also have a game box like 7K4399, and the number of mini-games in it is like a sea of stars.
Even if you make a mini-game a day, it's definitely not enough time. ”
The reporter's question is very professional, although the system has assured that no one has touched the game he made, but only suspects that this is not done by Xiaoyu alone, which is very reasonable.
Xiao Yu thought of so many games in the system wheel, and thought about it again, he just had 20 million points, and he was afraid that there would be no fewer games in the future.
He also doesn't pretend: "It's true that I have more than a strong team behind me!" ”
The reporter's expression froze: "You mean more than one?" ”
"Yes, you heard it right, more than one. But these big teams are inconvenient to appear for various reasons, so they choose to hang under my name, and I should be more of a gamer in the strict sense. Xiao Yu told the truth.
"Don't get me wrong, there's no doubt about your talent, and I think you're an indispensable person even in those strong teams."
Why do professional journalists speak so well? If you can talk, you can talk more!
Xiao Yu nodded, indicating that he had taken the rainbow fart.
But in the eyes of the reporter, the meaning is different, and he immediately asked:
"So what are you doing on the team?"
Xiao Yu was silent.
It's over, braggart is blowing too much!
Mr. Pei quickly saved! Waiting online, in a hurry!
As the saying goes, a lie has to be fulfilled with countless lies, Xiao Yu thought to himself that no one would debunk it anyway, so blow it to death!
Xiao Yu paused and cleared his throat.
The reporter was in awe, and his aura changed!
"Like I said before, sometimes I'm more of a gamer.
So the question is, in addition to considering the quality of the game, does a professional team also need to consider the needs of players?
Let's just say that there are two current Age of Empires, have you found a very serious problem? ”
Xiao Yu looked at the reporter indifferently, meaning that you hurry up and help round it, I didn't expect it yet.
The reporter's mind turned: "I'm not a professional game reporter, I can only see that there is a problem with the picture quality."
I actually thought of this question when someone asked you before.
As we all know, after decades of change, the image quality on the console side has been very exquisite, like the best PS image quality sold on the market has reached 1080P, do you think I'm right? ”
Xiaoyu nodded, glanced at the reporter with great relief, and was about to add a contact information after the interview, but he didn't say it, he was too sensible!
"Picture quality is just one of the drawbacks."
The reporter scratched his head: "I really can't think of anything else, I guess the player with the ID Daqin Fengqi should be able to have more ideas." ”
After all, he is an entertainment reporter, so it's not easy to embarrass him.
Xiao Yu said about his game experience:
"The first is the interface. Don't you notice that whether it's the main menu or the game, all the screens are small?
Maybe you don't think it's a big problem, and the interface is too large and may block the map and other factors, but it's too small. ”
The reporter continued:
"What you mean is that this may be a minor issue for those big god players, not important.
But the success of a game still depends on sales, so most ordinary players are the core that supports the game.
The interface is too small for them, which can slow down the speed of familiar gameplay.
And they're just entertainment-oriented, and they don't go too deep, so they may choose to refund or even never play the series again because of this little factor in the familiarization process, right? ”
Xiaoyu is very satisfied, young man, promising! I didn't expect anything from what you said.
Xiao Yu continued to remind: "I just talked about the experience of ordinary players, and now I will talk to you about the aspects of great god players.
You find that no, the entire operating system does not make a unit make coherent movements.
For example, the three god players just now, as soon as they came up, they used the sentry to a point on the map to explore their vision, so think about it, did the sentry stop moving after reaching that point?
Players can quickly press the team that has been formed to select the sentry horse, and then explore another unknown area on the map.
But the average player can't react.
And every exploration of the great god players is roughly in a straight line, so make an assumption:
Is it possible to make a unit move coherently with a key on the keyboard?
Assuming that the shift key is the order of operations, what happens if you hold down the shift key to mark one point on the map and then another point? Xiao Yu once again hinted to the reporter to answer.
The reporter suddenly realized: "As long as there are enough marked points, the sentry only needs to be used once, and you can explore the whole map one after another!"
In the early stages of the game, you can't create a class that can kill the Sentinel Cavalry quickly, so you can save a lot of time! ”
Xiao Yu opened his mouth and smiled:
"If the Sentinels can behave like this, what about the peasants? Can I hold shift to build a lumber yard and then mouse click on a tree or build another building, allowing the farmer to do a job automatically?
As long as this is done, not to mention the god players, at least ordinary players can play the game very proficiently as long as they practice a few games.
The time saved means more resources, so can players who can play medium computers try to play difficult computers? ”
The reporter was delighted: "In your eyes, even the slightest way to dissuade players is not deserved, and I admire your professionalism."
Do you have any other responsibilities?
Or can you tell us a little bit about your next step? ”
Xiao Yu continued to blow: "I will also make appropriate suggestions in the middle of the production of the game, such as what is more in line with the player market for players, and what things will be more liked by players?"
I'm sure you've seen a wolf in the wind before!
I saw his suggestion, so I reached out to the big team to list a list of games that didn't have a good impact on society and asked them to change them or delete them outright.
So every player can actually talk to the production team, but it's not easy to contact them, but you can pass it on through me.
As for the next step you said, well... Others are trade secrets, so it's hard to say. But I'm only going to release one more Empire series, and if the sales don't meet my expectations, I probably won't release it. ”
The reporter looked disdainful: "Ahem, restrain a little, you can't rob it openly!" ”
The reporter thought for a while, but still mentioned: "Although someone said something harsh before, and it seemed to be here to provoke and arch the fire, I also want to know about it." ”
Xiao Yu didn't care: "In my opinion, whether it is a PC game or a console game, it is an inevitable result that it will be eliminated in the future." ”
"Oh?" The reporter answered the call just right.
"You know how popular arcade machines were in the 80s and 90s! It can be found on the streets of the world.
It also belongs to the gaming industry, however in just a few decades,
It was knocked down by the console and the PC.
Times are progressing by the moment, and the old desktop TVs of the past are gradually becoming obsolete by the current LCD TVs, so I don't doubt the future of PCs and consoles. ”
Xiao Yu's previous life, the world VR game has been born, although the technology is not as high as this world, but it has begun to develop.
In this world, Xiao Yu can't even find such a thing as VR on the search engine.
Of course, the premise is that Xiaoyu can stay here until the moment of full development of VR, after all, the scientific and technological capabilities of this world are too fierce, and most of the technologies that were only achieved in the previous life around 2010 are now researched out.
"But that's still far away, aren't they? At least in the current situation, I don't think it's possible for someone to say that the PC side is declaring war on the console side.
Peers are one family, I don't do it, and someone else will do it.
You find that no, the purpose of the computer is versatility, while the console is monolithic.
And this determines the number of users.
There are many ways to be entertained, you can exercise, you can eat food, you can travel, you can just play games.
Therefore, the host industry is destined that the number of users will not be too exaggerated.
And because of the versatility of the computer, if I want to go to sports, eat food, travel, etc., I can check the information on the Internet first, and be fully prepared before going.
Therefore, the number of users of computers is even larger, and when it covers the whole world, not to mention poor countries, at least those developed and developing countries have enough financial resources to buy computers.
Don't look at what I'm saying that it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game, in fact, the gap is huge!
If you publish a good game on console, 10 million people may buy it, but the total number of console users is only a few hundred million.
You publish a good game on PC, and it might be bought by 100 million people! Because there are more than 6 billion people in the world, everyone can be a part of the bill!
Otherwise, why do you think the old Gates monopolized the operating system and became the world's first? ”
The reporter quickly said: "Ahem, it's hard for us to talk about monopoly, at least there is a pineapple system."
What a sobering remark of yours! Thank you for your answers, and I look forward to seeing you next time! ”
After the interview, Xiao Yu nodded comfortably, and added the reporter's phone number, just by virtue of the benefits of his ability to talk and pat on the back, the value of this friend's position!
Xiao Yu returned to the hall and continued to wander around.
