Chapter 261: The Combination of Movies and Games (Today's 2nd Update~)
"Find out how you feel." Yang Chen said with a smile.
The vast majority of people don't find publishers, as well as small indie game companies, and they don't have much money to advertise when they do.
Producers generally try their best to promote it, and it is basically difficult to find a well-known video writer who specializes in making a similar game, after all, it requires a fee for PY transactions.
More makers can only register countless accounts with a trembling mind, and then go to various game forums and communities to advertise.
Try to let others know your game, and some games that have been spread on a small scale, players have not been able to notice the more interesting gameplay system hidden in the game.
Then the maker will also personally go down to reveal some of the content in the game, whether it is easter eggs, gameplay, or hidden plots.
Even some interesting bugs, not all of them were discovered by the players themselves, and a small number of them were actively revealed by the game makers and their teams.
Of course, for today's Nebula Games, there is actually no need to engage in these bells and whistles, even if they don't take the initiative to advertise, the games they develop will be the mainstream popularity.
Just like domestic games such as Starry Sky, even if you don't take the initiative to advertise, in the same period when there are no other funders and 3A, Nebulas Games' masterpiece is definitely the main headline.
But a little spoiler for the player, or take the initiative to reveal some easter eggs and plots that the player did not find, is a very wonderful feeling for Yang Chen himself, watching the player feel excited about what he did or other emotions, it makes him feel some pleasure.
The more players who beat Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain, the more discussions about the game become, and the game is actually the same as the movie in a way.
Movies can be called art because, in addition to its commercial points, the plot of the film will have its own ideological core, not just visual impact.
The same is true of games, which can be called art games, and it is not only its gameplay.
Art in the game.
Countless domestic and foreign game review websites have given "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain" such a high evaluation.
And it's like in elementary school reading comprehension, you can give it a hundreds of words of explanation for any simple word.
The same is true of the plot of the game, sometimes the game makers themselves have not thought of this, but with the patchwork of the players, this world view is slowly perfected.
"Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain" is not a crippled worldview, on the contrary, Yang Chen, who has dream memories, knows very well what kind of wonderful and huge story such a classic IP that has run through the history of the 30-year series.
In a way, this is a complete worldview, and when players give their opinions, if they are not right, they will immediately be refuted by the rest of the players who find the clues.
Similarly, if the player builds and speculates, then the various hints in the game prove that the game has actually arranged a series of clues.
Players, on the other hand, will marvel at the size of the game and thus develop a sense of pride that they have guessed the plot when the official is only hinting at it.

Overseas, in his Powerstorm studio, Steven leaned back in his chair and watched the cutscenes from Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain, which were fully edited and lasted for hours.
Even the cutscenes fit together perfectly, and while there's a bit of a split, it's amazing for a game.
"It's like making a game like making a movie, and in a way, he's taught the industry another lesson." Steven suddenly stood up from his stool.
Since returning from the awards ceremony that day, he has been working his new work, a game based on "Epic Continent", but this time his work is not like the previous "Epic Continent", the main perspective of the story is on a certain character.
He wanted to build a complete worldview like The Elder Scrolls Online.
"If you can see such a work before the development of "Epic Continent", then "Epic Continent" will definitely usher in a qualitative change again." Steven sighed in the surprised gaze of Jonny next to him.
Looking at Steven, who was full of emotion, Jonny next to him was very surprised, there is no doubt that as Steven's golden partner plus a good friend, and also the second-in-command of the power storm, Jonny knows Steven very well.
This is a very proud, even conceited, man, but from the previous "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" to the current "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain", he has strongly admired a person, which seems very rare to him.
"I need to overturn the development schedule of "Epic Continent 2", and I need a director, a professional director, and good enough actors, Sam Cruise can be the protagonist of "Epic Continent 2", and at the same time several important roles, I need actors on the right track." Steven said as he looked at Jonny.
??????
Listening to Steven's words, Jonny was stunned: "Are you crazy? It's okay for Steven to overturn the progress of "Epic Continent 2", after all, we haven't invested much, but we're making games, not making movies, and it's okay to be a professional director, as long as it's not Oscar-level, and the kind of super commercial blockbusters, we can find it, but Sam Cruise...... Oh my God, he alone needs tens of millions of dollars. ”
Jonny looked at Steven a little speechlessly, although they were rich in power storm, they weren't so bad.
How much does it cost to develop a game like this?
One or two hundred million dollars? Or even higher?
How many copies of the game do you have to sell to recoup?
And games are different from movies, first of all, the appeal, although this kind of superstar has a lot of fans, but these fans may be willing to buy a $10 movie ticket, but a $60 game is willing to spend?
And how many of these people are gamers?
If you want to invite a superstar, these are games to consider.
Listening to Jonny's words, Steven gradually calmed down: "But I need to be a real professional, otherwise next year's Game of the Year will already be locked in." ”
Steven looked at Johnny very seriously.
"Let's put the plan of "Epic Continent 2" on hold for the time being, I think I have to go to Huaxia and meet that person with my own eyes."

In the Nebula game, Yang Chen didn't know that on the other side of the ocean, there was a person who was obsessed with him, and even decided to come to see him in person.
He was still in the conference room, working on the follow-up plan for the Metal Gear Solid series of games.
The follow-up story between THE BOSS and BIG BOSS, as well as the multiplayer online mode, as well as the story after Venom Snake in "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain", these are all things that Yang Chen needs to bring to players.
Of course, there's also the online multiplayer mode of Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain, as well as a hidden plot - the world is seedless.
Such a plot, relying on the player's own strength, can be said to be almost impossible to complete.
So that's going to have to rely on their official spoilers.
