Chapter 846: Spider-Man

In the conference room of Nebula Games, Yang Chen put down the VR equipment in his hand, looked at Brandon next to him and couldn't help but nod.

What he just experienced was Spider-Man developed by Brandon and their team, and the superhero game made with the materials of "Iron Man" and "GTA" Los Santos.

In terms of the main gameplay, I refer to some details of "Marvel's Spider-Man" in my dream memory, but considering the functions of most VR, the game itself does not use a traditional open world, but a box court gameplay similar to "Super Mario: Odyssey", and the main plot in the game is also linear.

Just like the original Iron Man, but the difference is that in the game, players will have more freedom to play as spiders, such as using spider silk to fly through the skyscrapers of New York.

Regarding NPC interactions, as in GTA and Red Dead Redemption, there are still a bit of problems with the current optimization.

But it's shocking enough.

In terms of R&D time, the R&D cycle of "Spider-Man" is much longer, mainly because Yang Chen did not tilt too many resources to this, and it is in terms of technology that the development of "Spider-Man" is just like the original "Iron Man", and they are on the front line.

The original development of "Iron Man" was to shape Los Santos in "GTA", while "Spider-Man" was more about the accumulation of Nebula Games' experience in VR development.

For example, the fact that "The Last of Us" was able to develop so smoothly before was indeed related to UEgame on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was the experience accumulated during the development of "Iron Man" at that time.

At this point, "Spider-Man" and "Civilization" from a certain point of view, the tasks they carry are similar.

As for the story flow, not taking into account the exploration aspect, the game time flow of "Spider-Man" is actually much shorter than that of "The Last of Us", almost the same as the previous "Iron Man".

In terms of story, considering that there is no Marvel, Yang Chen is more of a story from the original "Spider-Man" movie trilogy in his dream memory, of course, considering the follow-up superhero worldview, Tony Stark, who has met most players before, will also appear in it.

Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Professor Lizard, Venom, unlike the previous "Iron Man", players will have more free operation experience in this game, and action elements will be the main elements in this game.

It's not like before, it's more about immersion and feeling the refreshment of Tony Stark's identity.

"Mr. Yang, is this to prepare for the next game?" Inside the office, Brandon asked Yang Chen with some curiosity.

The task of developing the game "Spider-Man" was still Brandon and his team, and during the development of the game, they also received the same request as when they developed "Iron Man".

Otherwise, the story of this same linear mode can be developed according to a model like the original "Iron Man", rather than such a long development cycle as it is now.

After all, the story of the game flow of "Spider-Man" itself is not too long.

Yang Chen, who was leaning on the chair, put down the VR equipment in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "You need to use this kind of technology, and the action elements are still a lot worse on the VR platform." ”

This is also Yang Chen's truth, and the main purpose is to strengthen the development strength of the entire team on the VR platform, especially when it comes to action experience.

"Iron Man" and the previously developed VR versions of "Resident Evil 5" and "Silent Hill", immersive experience of cinematic games based on plot and atmosphere can be said to be familiar to Nebula Games.

But in terms of action elements, the VR platform can be said to be an unfamiliar field for Nebula Games, or other game manufacturers.

"But the aerial perspective, plus the action game, there is indeed a game to be handed over to you in the future." Yang Chen smiled a little mysteriously.

Without waiting for Brandon to get excited, Yang Chen stretched his waist and said to Brandon: "As for now, let's launch "Spider-Man" first, just like the previous "Iron Man", the price will be benchmarked." ”

In terms of price, it is just like the previous "Iron Man", Yang Chen is not ready to price like "Civilization" and "The Last of Us", and the original "Iron Man" actually did not lose money, if you take into account the huge New York art in "GTA" and all kinds of expenses, it is naturally a loss.

However, according to the normal development model, making a game like "Iron Man" that does not affect the player's game experience has made a lot of money instead of losing money.

Although "Spider-Man" has also made new technical attempts, its cost is much lower than when "Iron Man" was developed before, after all, the art materials in the entire New York City are ready-made.

…………

The quality of "Spider-Man" can be said to make Yang Chen very satisfied, and after the experience, Yang Chen also revealed some new game intentions to Brandon.

After all, after the development of "Civilization", Nebula Games will definitely have new projects in the future, and although "Civilization" will also have DLC content in the future, such as more civilizations and more gameplay categories, they will all be handed over to Roland and their team from the X Club to be responsible.

However, although Brandon was very curious, Yang Chen still didn't reveal much.

There are indeed ideas in my heart, but Yang Chen still hasn't decided on it, and the new VR platform is online, including all aspects of technology, and major manufacturers and Nebula Games are still testing.

The development of the two games, "The Last of Us" and "Civilization", also gave Yang Chen a general understanding of the direction of the game on the VR platform and the performance of the current mainstream VR machines.

I had a meeting with Xu Yu and several other company executives, and roughly finalized the next main direction.

The first is the porting of "Civilization", the switch version, and the mobile platform, compared to other games, "Civilization" is undoubtedly an advantage over the mobile platform, and it is also a game that can maintain its original flavor.

There are also development tools that include Civilization-related mods, as well as community building.

The second is the game "Spider-Man", including the derivative of the anime direction, if the previous "Iron Man" is just a sign, then the current "Spider-Man" is a lead.

From the outside world, these two games are not the core products of Nebula Games, but Yang Chen and Xu Yu understand in their hearts that these two games are not just intended to operate as games.

The World War I and World War II world view, including "Battlefield", will be integrated into it.

Of course, in addition to these things, there is another more important thing.

That is the land purchased by the Qilin Development Zone in Jiangshi City, and the newly built headquarters has been able to be put into use.
