Chapter 443. A taste of China
Shen Gushu, the game production team of Dragoon Studio, under the hardcore software, saw the announcement of the steam platform, and his heart was cold.
"Is Hatsune really a game done quietly?"
In fact, when Hatsune World announced the actual machine trial, Shen Tani Shu did not have such a big shock, because as the same game producer, he knew the moisture in the real machine trial.
In the eyes of most players, the actual trial is basically equivalent to the game has been completed and can be played directly, and therefore, in the player community, many players think that they will be able to play "Monster Hunter" as early as the beginning of this year.
But Shin knew that if Monster Hunter was a console exclusive, there might not be too much time between the actual demo and the official release, but it was a game on PC.
The configuration of the game console is fixed, and the manufacturer can develop and optimize on the given configuration to ensure the game effect, but everyone's PC has differences, and this difference may cause the game to run normally on some PCs, but not on some PCs, and there are bugs due to different configurations, which are the differences between console games and PC games in development.
The configuration of the actual machine trial is determined by the manufacturer, which can maximize the display of the game, but it is possible that behind these actual machines is the top PC, and the average gamer simply cannot afford the cost of this configuration.
In the past, there were Xianxia games, and when it was demonstrated, it looked like the picture, light and shadow, and special effects were extremely good, but in fact, after players bought it, they found that the optimization was extremely poor, and only the most top-of-the-line PC could run like a demo, and other slightly worse configurations were stuck into dogs, which received a lot of bad reviews.
"Monster Hunter" was tested on the actual machine at the Comic Con, and Shen Gushu felt that it should be a display of fixed configurations, and the version that really coped with various configurations was still under development.
What I didn't expect was that less than a month after the Comic Con, "Monster Hunter" actually released a demo version that everyone can download?
Does this mean that the commissioning of the PC for different configurations is almost complete?
Shen Gushu didn't know.
He only knew that on the Steam platform, the number of people who pre-ordered the beta version of "Monster Hunter" had exceeded three million, and this was only a week after the news was announced, and there were no rewards for this pre-registration, just a pre-load reminder in advance when the time came.
This is a terrifying number, and based on past experience, Shin Gushu has been able to deduce that "Monster Hunter" will be another game with tens of millions of sales.
Dragoon Studio's game this year is about to be released, it is also an action category, and it will inevitably be compared with "Monster Hunter", I heard that Suoren Mutual Entertainment also has an action game on sale this year, so it is foreseeable that the results of these three games will become Hatsune Games, Suo Ren Mutual Entertainment, and hardcore software will represent the right to speak in this year's game circle.
January passed quickly, on Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of households put up lights, the sound of firecrackers was a year old, and the number of New Year's Festival broadcasts on the first audio video network was still amazing, but people paid attention to the next day.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xudong did not go out at home, and his family generally started on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and several relatives visited each other.
After playing games all afternoon and having dinner, Wang Xudong sat in the living room and switched to the news channel.
The weather forecast is still being posted here.
Wang Xudong remembers that when he was a child, his family used to read this weather forecast to know the weather conditions for the next day, and now everyone has a mobile phone, and various weather software can even tell you when the rain will fall and when it will stop, and no one pays attention to the weather forecast after the news, but this show still survives.
After the weather forecast, there was a special program for the New Year, and after an advertisement, at eight o'clock, "A Bite of China" officially started.
Different from the modern music with a slight rock style at the beginning of "A String of Life", "A Bite of China" uses traditional folk musical instruments, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, and the pictures of kneading, chopping vegetables, and cooking, which have a simple and beautiful feeling.
The picture changes, the combination of ink and real scenes, switching, without a sense of disobedience, finally, a picture scroll unfolds, take a closer look, only to find that this is a fat and thin meat, the meat skin turns into reeds, the fat is the river, the red lean meat constitutes the pattern of the landscape, in the river water, a leaf flat boat rippling, aside, bamboo chopsticks are about to pick up this piece of fat meat, quite charming.
"What is this?"
Wang Xudong's father is about to retire, he usually likes to watch the news, and scoffs at the love-hate family ethics dramas that his wife likes to watch.
"It's a documentary, well, it's supposed to be about food."
Wang Xudong saw that his father was interested, so he explained.
"Can you still make a documentary about what you eat?"
His mother was finishing her dishes and chopsticks and coming out of the kitchen.
In the picture, it is the appearance of a primeval forest.
It was in the southern part of China, between the misty mountains.
The camera begins with a young woman who searches through a pine forest with a cane in search of a precious fungus, matsutake mushrooms.
"Matsutake mushrooms belong to the aristocracy of wild mushrooms, and in restaurants in big cities, the price of a charcoal-grilled matsutake can reach 1,600 yuan......"
“1600? Isn't this just an ordinary mushroom? ”
His mother looked at the screen in surprise, a chef was patiently putting matsutake mushrooms on the iron plate and frying, and the camera zoomed in, so that Wang Xudong, who had just eaten enough, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"It's wild mushrooms, it's hard to buy."
Wang Xudong's father interjected.
"No matter how wild this mushroom is, 1600 is too expensive."
Wang Xudong's mother muttered, but she also sat on the sofa, looking intently, perhaps to see what kind of mushrooms could be sold so expensive.
Next, the camera focuses more on the people picking matsutake mushrooms.
These people need to walk deep into the primeval forest before dawn to pick matsutake mushrooms, which are not always available, which is very hard.
The purchase price of an ordinary matsutake mushroom in the production area is 80 yuan, and after simple processing, it will be transformed into a table in the city at a price of 700 yuan.
The protagonist of the first story went through hard work, and finally picked a good quality matsutake mushroom, and harvested the fruits of labor, such a plot is simple, but not pretentious, and there is a simple beauty.
Wang Xudong's father was a little distracted, he worked in the fields when he was young, and when the grain warehouse was full, maybe he also had such an expression.
For the Chinese people, this simple satisfaction is engraved in the genetic bloodline, and it will not change depending on whether the object is matsutake mushroom or rice, or anything else.
It is precisely because of the thousand-year-old farming civilization that the Chinese people can feel the joy of the harvest more, just like the title of this episode, the gift of nature.
