New ideas, a special VR game?

Yang Chen's sudden words made Brandon stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Yang, what do you mean?" Brandon didn't get it.

"A new team, the team responsible for VR games, will of course be a new IP." Yang Chen said towards Brandon.

Speaking of this, Brandon understood the meaning of Yang Chen's words, and he couldn't help but be a little excited: "Mr. Yang, are you saying that we can set up a team alone?" ”

"Of course, we need to accumulate some technology in VR games." Yang Chen nodded and said.

VR will be a very important development direction for games in the future, and Yang Chen believes in this, especially the news that the discovery of new materials will reduce the cost of VR equipment, which makes Yang Chen very sure of this.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a PY wave with UEgame at the beginning, in order to improve the accumulation of VR technology in Nebula Games, and at the same time, Brandon and his team also waved a small hoe to NTR the UEgame that was playing hot.

"Of course, it won't be too large-scale open world, but more of an interactive movie game with a VCR." Yang Chen said to Brandon.

Creating a large open world directly on the VR platform is a bit of a risky act for them, and their technical capabilities on the VR platform may be able to do it, but it is definitely not the best.

And in Yang Chen's memory, there are some special themes that are more suitable for the experience of this mode of VCR.

"The follow-up GDD will be given to you when it is perfected." Yang Chen looked at Brandon and said.

However, hearing this, Brandon was a little excited and a little surprised: "Mr. Yang, you are not responsible for the leadership of the VR project?" ”

Shaking his head, Yang Chen said: "Maybe I'll pay attention to it, but next on the PC platform, I have a new project, and this is not for you to really create a complete open world, just to add some content to the VCR interactive experience so that players can feel the openness." ”

"New project?" Brandon was a little more energetic.

"Well, Monster Hunter, a story about hunting." A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Chen's mouth.

"The story of the hunt? Is it possible to have an open-ended world like Red Dead Redemption that allows players to hunt in forests, mountains, and oceans? Hearing Yang Chen's words, Brandon's mind instantly presented the game "Red Dead Redemption".

"In terms of environment, there is no problem, forests, wastelands, terraces, valleys, caves, ice fields, these will become hunting grounds for players in the game, but as for monsters, they are not ordinary tigers and lions, but all kinds of dragon creatures." The smile on Yang Chen's face became even stronger.

If Wang Ye, who had previously developed "Wolf: Shadow Death Twice" and "Dark Souls" with Yang Chen, they would definitely guess what kind of game this was.

But Brandon had no idea at all, still speculating: "Dragon? The dragons from The Elder Scrolls Online? Dragon hunting, a fantasy game? Could it be that the players are playing the role of a Dragonborn? ”

"Well, you're right about hunting dragons, but it's magical dragons, and the only thing players can use is cold weapons." Yang Chen looked at Brandon and said meaningfully.

Brandon was stunned.

The magic is the dragon, and the only thing the player can use is cold weapons.

Even if Brandon didn't participate in the development of games such as "Wolf: Shadow Death Twice" and "Dark Souls" like Wang Ye and others, he also smelled something unusual from Yang Chen's words.

Does it mean that the dragon is still the dragon like in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and the player is an ordinary person or a cold weapon?

Is this still a hunting story?

It's the story of a dragon hunter!

"Monster Hunter", it won't be "Monster Abuse", right?

However, without waiting for Brandon to continue speaking, Yang Chen turned the topic to something else.

"In terms of VR, the main thing in the early stage is to make a big DEMO, and in addition, the new VR project will involve a big city, and the model will take New York as an example, of course, in the current VR project, these big cities are more inclined to the existence of stickers, but we need to make him a substantial existence, because there will be a lot of plots in the city in the future." Yang Chen turned the conversation back to the VR project towards Brandon.

For this VR project, Yang Chen did not want to be able to launch it quickly, but it took a long time to accumulate, not only the team development time, but also the popularization of the equipment.

At this point, Yang Chen believes that those VR manufacturers should be the most urgent.

Billions of dollars have been invested in the field of VR, and for such a long time, it has not been fully rolled out, you must know that even if the takeaway industry burns billions or tens of billions, it has already opened the market, just wait for the opponent to boil to death and then cut leeks.

"Understood, Mr. Yang, but what kind of game will our VR project be?" Brandon was still a little curious about this.

Although Yang Chen did not hand over the GDD to him, from the words revealed by Yang Chen, he was also able to analyze some of them according to his professional ability.

Games with a modern theme, and should be biased towards the highly immersive story-based games of interactive films, and secondly, it can be a big project.

Because in it, Yang Chen mentioned shaping a big city, and said that he preferred to use textures, but he didn't let them directly use textures.

This shows that they need to model and build the entire city and apply the materials for subsequent games, otherwise simply using texture effects can not only save costs, but also improve the effect of the game.

In terms of realism, players may think that the realistic modeling may be more realistic.

But the opposite is true, and when the player can't go to those places to get a closer look, the textures are much better.

"Subject matter?" Hearing Brandon's words, Yang Chen smiled.

"Genius, philanthropist, playboy, millionaire...... To be more precise, it should be the story of the birth of a superhero. ”

Superhero, Iron Man.

When deciding on the VR project, in fact, Yang Chen also considered a lot of games in his dream memory, but combined with the feedback brought by the previous "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Resident Evil 5" after the launch of the VR version, there is actually the effect of these two games in VR.

In the end, Yang Chen targeted a theme: superheroes.

At the same time, in the camp of superheroes, Yang Chen set his last sight on the story of the character of Iron Man.

In the world comics of dream memory, this is actually a second- or third-tier character, but it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that the setting of this character is very good.

Genius, philanthropist, playboy, and money ability, in terms of financial resources, there is probably only another Batman known as the master who can compete with it, but compared to the story of Iron Man, the story of Batman is obviously much more depressing and heavy.

In a highly immersive VR experience, it is obviously more emotional for players to play as an Iron Man who is in the limelight than Batman hidden in the darkness of Gotham City.

The second is the linkage of games, such as the "Red Alert: World War" series of Nebula Games as early as before, "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain" and "Assassin's Creed" and the follow-up "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", Yang Chen has added a lot of small easter eggs in the game.

And these little easter eggs have been dug up by the vast number of supernatural players, and they are all discussing on the Internet whether there is a deeper experience in these games in addition to the background.

Compared with the current VR game development technology within Nebula Games, it is very capable of presenting a lifelike open world game to players, but it is biased towards the experience of interactive plots, which is not difficult in Yang Chen's opinion.

The only difficulty is how to tell the story to the players in the game.
