Chapter Ninety-Four: Game Release
In the Chang'an studio in Shanghai, Lin Jiayi, who was testing a numerical level in the game, received a phone call.
After a short exchange and hanging up, Lin Jiayi's face showed a very strange expression: "Is this guy going to make a VR game?" Although the VR platform is much more mature than the original, it is a thankless task due to the limited development tools and user popularity. ”
"Who's going to develop VR games?" Zhuo Qing, who was drinking milk tea next to him, asked.
"I got a call from Yang Chen, and I was asked which VR team in the industry was more efficient and high-quality." Lin Jiayi said.
"VR? Could it be that he wants to VR Resident Evil? This kind of horror game is very suitable for the VR mode, and the most important thing is to port the game that has been made to the VR platform, the cost will not be very large, and the picture quality of "Resident Evil" is enough to support the VR platform. Zhuo Qing thought of something and suddenly exclaimed.
I don't want to think about it, but if you think about it carefully, it is very likely that Yang Chen wants to transplant "Resident Evil" to VR.
Imagine a first-person perspective, with terrifying zombies coming at you, and that sense of fear is definitely a feeling that can make people pee.
"But if it's too much fear, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive, and Nebula's Resident Evil can clearly see that they are reducing the fear in the game." Lin Jiayi shook his head and denied the answer.
Ideally, VR and horror games do seem to be an excellent match, and the strong immersion of VR itself will definitely scare players out of their urine.
But from a business point of view, a game that is too scary for players to enjoy.
This is a very important piece of information, and from Yang Chen's development of "Escape" and then to some of the things revealed in "Resident Evil", this trend can already be clearly seen.
…………
On the other hand, after hearing the news he wanted from Lin Jiayi, Yang Chen contacted the other party in his personal name.
A VR development team based in Shanghai, some of the industry's most well-known VR game development and porting are outsourced by them.
Video business chat, Yang Chen expressed his requirements: "It's not a game, more precisely, it should be a scene DEMO, but it needs to be able to match somatosensory motion detection, so that the characters in the game can feedback the actions in reality." ”
Listening to Yang Chen's request, the person on the other side of the video obviously didn't react for a long time.
"The AI in the same scene doesn't have to be too good, as long as you don't be stupid and don't move." Yang Chen expressed his request: "As for the scene, I will give you a copy of the information in the future." ”
With a confused expression on the other side, Yang Chen hung up the phone, then flipped through the address book on his phone, and finally clicked into a chat group called the third (16th) class of high school.
…………
Time flies quite quickly, and Xu Yu is fully responsible for the main work of Nebula, including the expansion of the company's scale in the second year, as well as some new business developments, Xu Yu has already arranged the plan.
On the other hand, the R&D team, some follow-up content about "Resident Evil" has almost been completed, including the discovery and repair of bugs, and the server has been arranged.
Of course, considering that the game is launched on the fifth day after the Spring Festival, the annual leave of the studio team may not be as long as imagined.
As for putting a game with horror elements on the line at this point in time after the Chinese New Year, it's a bit strange, but the main reason is that during this period, there are no big games to go online and there are few competitors.
went home with Wang Yaliang for a year, and each had a New Year's dinner at the home of both parents, and on the third day, they ate in the house bought by Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang.
"There's no one on the street anymore." After dinner, he took a walk outside with steel eggs, looking at the few pedestrians, Wang Yaliang couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you all at home for the New Year?" Yang Chen said with a smile.
Although it has been sunny for the past few days, the temperature is still very low, and a cold wind is blowing, even if they are wearing down jackets, the two of them still shiver involuntarily.
The gloved hand came to his mouth and sighed, Wang Yaliang looked at the street in the distance: "Do you remember?" When I was in high school, you drove me on a battery bike after school every day, and then like a thief, you sent me to the intersection and let me get off the bus and walk home by myself. ”
Arching Yang Chen's arm, Wang Yaliang suddenly thought of something and said happily.
"Not you yet? At that time, I couldn't ride a bike, and the way to school was long, so I was asked to pick you up every day. Yang Chen rubbed Wang Yaliang's face with the back of his hand.
"I walked home by myself in my junior year of high school." Wang Yaliang pulled the steel egg that was attracted by a second ha, and said with a light snort.
"But luck is really good, when I was in my third year of high school, the school moved, and it was quite close to home, so I could go to school every day by walking, otherwise I would have to take the bus every day." Wang Yaliang tilted his head and said with a smile.
Hearing Wang Yaliang's words, Yang Chen smiled and didn't speak, and his right hand in his pocket clenched a USB flash drive.
…………
On February 1st, "Resident Evil" was officially released, unlike the previous "Octopath Traveler" and "Escape", this time "Resident Evil" can be said to be released simultaneously around the world, except for some countries with very, very strict censorship, which have not passed or are under review.
The game itself has two built-in languages, Chinese and English, and the subtitles are in mainstream German, French, Russian, English, Japanese, Korean, and Western languages.
Players who were previously attracted by the demo version of "Resident Evil" have purchased and entered the game.
The promotion of UEgame itself, coupled with the fact that there were no major works in the same period, made "Resident Evil" directly rise to the top of the sales list on the day of its release.
Countless players entered the game for the first time, and after experiencing the full version of the game, the game community of "Resident Evil" was lively in an instant.
The major game media websites are in the first time to explode the liver through the evaluation because they did not ask for a dedicated media evaluation version.
Game Starry Sky, in the office of the Game Evaluation Department of the Editorial Department, Zhang Si, who was sitting in front of the computer at ten o'clock in the evening, looked at the hideous zombies on the screen and swallowed silently.
And it was raining thunderstorms outside the house at this time, and the editor who said before that there was a review of "Escape" was so scared that he didn't dare to go home in the middle of the night, but stayed directly in the company for one night, Zhang Si felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
But now that it's his turn to be on duty for a Resident Evil review, he doesn't think it's an exaggeration.
Accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning outside the house, and the dull sound of leather shoes constantly coming from the game in the headphones, Zhang Si suddenly tightened the padded jacket on his body.
