Chapter 605: It's Not GHS for GHS's Sake
Hearing Yang Chen's words, the reporters in the audience couldn't wait, and the first person to be selected to ask questions was still an old acquaintance of Nebula Games, a reporter representing the game's starry sky.
After being selected, the reporter picked up the microphone and asked the question in his heart: "Mr. Yang, you just mentioned that "Wizard Hunt" and "The Elder Scrolls Skyrim" are different types of RP games, what is the specific difference?" What about the gameplay, setting, or the rest? ”
Yang Chen smiled, put the microphone close to his mouth, and said, "It's different in all aspects, in "The Elder Scrolls Skyrim", players play a great dragonborn, of course, according to the plot, if the players don't do something excessive, such as killing a chicken in Ximu Town, then the players will be an admired dragonborn, a hero." ”
Listening to Yang Chen's words, everyone in the audience also let out a burst of laughter very cooperatively, regardless of whether they were really happy or not, anyway, the atmosphere was reached.
On the stage, Yang Chen paused, and continued, "But "Wizard Hunt" is different, and "The Elder Scrolls Skyrim" and many games we have done, such as "Red Dead Redemption", there is actually a very obvious boundary between good and evil, a robber rushed into a hotel and bullied the owner of the hotel, as the protagonist, we shot to kill the robber, and were admired by others, in our words, this is called chivalry, this is justice, we are doing good deeds. ”
"But in Witcher Hunt, we want to bring players a more complex and real world, that is, good and evil are unbounded, cause and effect are chaotic, just like the real world, in this game we want to reinterpret the meaning of heroes, reconstruct the so-called heroes, maybe your intentions are good, but what you want to get will actually be completely different."
After Yang Chen finished answering, a kind of reporter at the scene was a little confused, just the description of the text made it difficult for them to form a sense of picture in their minds, but they also had some concepts.
That is, according to Yang Chen's words, "Witcher Hunt" players can decide their own good and evil, and get closer to the real world.
But it's not surprising to think about it, after all, Nebula games have always been so focused on 'freedom'.
Then another reporter continued to ask, "Mr. Yang, is "Witcher Hunt" a linear RP?" ”
"Linear? In fact, the game has developed to this day, linear and non-linear have been relatively blurred, such as "The Elder Scrolls Skyrim" and "Red Dead Redemption", it seems to be non-linear, but the whole story is actually developed according to linear, but in "Witcher Hunt" we will make the whole game more interesting, such as the choice of events, players will pay the corresponding price for the choices they make, and each choice brings different consequences. Yang Chen explained to the reporters on the scene and the players watching the live broadcast.
Line and non-line, in fact, is relatively vague, even if it is the so-called multiple endings, but it is still a linear story, but this linear has multiple branches, and the player needs to trigger some conditions to achieve.
Next, in the face of the reporter's answers, Yang Chen was able to answer them one by one.
For example, the combat system in the game, the size and scale of the map, and all the interesting things in development, until a more acute question was asked.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, we noticed that the rating of "Witcher Hunt" in some countries is listed as a rating of 18r, and even on the ban list in some countries, and the last game is "Call of Duty Modern Warfare", I want to ask Yang if there are always some special elements in the game, such as what was shown in the previous trailer!"
This is going to make big news!?
Hearing this, not only the players who watched the live broadcast, but also the reporters present were all excited.
In fact, they didn't know the news, but after all, the other party was Nebula Games, so although they knew that they could get more attention on some topics, they still subconsciously ignored it.
But now it's different, someone has made a head bird and a backstabber!
Looking at the excited reporters in the audience, Yang Chen didn't panic too much, in fact, he kept the content of "Wizard Hunt", which he had thought of a long time ago, not to mention that the game had successfully passed the rating, it was completely legal, and Yang Chen could be said to be even more confident.
"Of course, just like Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Witcher Hunt is not a family game like Super Mario Odyssey, this is an adult game, which is the meaning of the existence of game ratings in various countries, in Witcher Hunt, I don't deny that there are some adult elements, but in fact, many books, including movies, have the same content, and much more."
"Actually, we're not prepared to use the adult element as a selling point, it's just a very normal part of life, maybe you think we added these elements just to attract attention, but it's not really the case, we're deepening the player's memory of the game character, and after certain things, we want to show how important she is to the white wolf, if she disappears, the white wolf will go after her. It's not a game with special elements, and we don't actually think that players will buy them just because they are in the game. What we want is to make the player understand that these people are important to White Wolf, rather than just telling you as a player that she is important and you have to go to her. ”
"We actually had some special ideas, and we always thought of it as an artistic expression."
Yang Chen's expression was very serious, and he was also very sincere.
Not only the reporters in the audience, but also the players who watched the live broadcast were also instantly excited.
In fact, this is also Yang Chen's true thoughts, in his opinion, "Wizard Hunt" is not a yellow game, even if there is a bed scene, but it is not as vulgar as imagined.
These scenes are not intended to show the player the body of the white wolf or other characters, but to add a sense of humor to the scene, as well as special elements, so that players can understand the characters themselves and understand their personalities.
For example, Yennefer's unicorn, these scenes are all profound, not simply HS for the sake of HS.
