Chapter 1017: The Future of the Virtual World (Three Changes)

The barrage in the live broadcast room has been swiped by the overwhelming 666, and the audience at the scene is all confused.

It can be said that the vast majority of people present did not expect Chen Mo to come up with this set of rhetoric.

Professor Xu's expression was very excited, obviously he wanted to slap the table and say that it was "nonsense", but his hands were raised, but he couldn't do it.

The other two guests also looked at each other, apparently their brains were racing to refute this set of arguments, but they were running out of words for a while.

Is there something wrong with what Chen Mo said?

It's a big problem!

At least the first reaction of the guests on the other side when they heard Chen Mo's words was, isn't this nonsense?

But after smoothing out the logic from beginning to end, it seems to be quite complete......

The examples listed by Chen Mo, including Mike's sarcastic words about capitalism, the words on the police car, FIB-related plots, etc., are indeed in GTA, and it is impossible for Chen Mo to blatantly spread rumors in front of everyone. Since there are these elements, Chen Mo said that GTA is exposing the ugliness of capitalism, which seems to be very logically smooth.

Moreover, simply grasping the violent elements of GTA to talk about things is actually not very tenable.

When a medium presents the plot with the main goal of "exposing" and "criticizing", too much beautification of the scene will greatly reduce this criticism. To put it simply, like some essays about beheading in the old society, ignorant people use the blood of revolutionaries to dip human blood steamed buns in vain to cure diseases, this plot is actually quite bloody, even much bloodier than most movies and TV series that kill people with guns.

However, if you want to eliminate this bloody and violent influence and over-glorify the plot, then the "critical" effect it aims to achieve will not exist.

If all similar subjects are forced to be made like fairy tales, it will only make people feel extremely fake, and eventually become complete cultural garbage.

These people's doubts about GTA are mainly focused on its "violent" appearance, while Chen Mo raised the issue to a higher level of "spiritual connotation", so he directly raised the topic, forming a kind of "dimensionality reduction strike".

The key to this is that GTA must have enough connotations.

GTA really does.

Is it a game that encourages crime? Not.

Most people just scratch the surface and think that GTA encourages people to commit crimes, but it is not.

GTA does not encourage crime, nor does it induce players to kill indiscriminately, it is not the bloody blood of the rivers and lakes that most people think, and it is not the unrestrained and happy grudge that teenagers yearn for, but the shackles that are getting tighter and tighter. It tells the story of the sorrow of being played by the invisible enemy after defeating the visible enemy again and again.

In the world of GTA, there has never been a false relationship between marrying Bai Fumei and reaching the pinnacle of life by crime, but constantly being betrayed by his friends, or betraying his friends, and having to temporarily grovel to the more powerful underworld forces, and act as a biting dog for those well-dressed beasts of FIB.

Those stories that seem to stimulate the hormones of players are actually just constantly wiping the butts of others and completing one task after another, but they can never redeem their freedom from FIB.

The protagonist who called for wind and rain in the previous work may die like a wild dog in the next work, and no one cares whether he lives or dies.

When you first enter the GTA world, many people may indulge in the thrill of killing and looting, but as the plot deepens, players feel the joys and sorrows of the protagonist, and will find that everyone in the story, even those small supporting characters, also has their own sorrows. And the deeper revelation of the current situation of the whole society derived from this is the key to making GTA different from a cool game and becoming a masterpiece with full scores.

……

The controversy of "Today's Current Affairs Debate" is still ongoing, but the wind on the Internet has completely tilted to Chen Mo's side.

Of course, Chen Mo's rhetoric cannot conquer everyone, for people like Professor Xu and Chen Baiyou, the position that "violent games will inevitably lead to crime" has been preset in their brains, and no matter how much they explain to them, it is impossible to convince them.

But of course, Chen Mo's words were not said to the three opposing guests, but to all the viewers in front of the TV and computer who were paying attention to this hot spot.

What Chen Mo wants is the support of public opinion for GTA, or at least no objection, and the tolerance and understanding of the entire social environment for the development of games, especially virtual games.

In the second half of the show, several opposing guests and the audience were still trying to refute Chen Mo's statements, but Chen Mo responded one by one, completely occupying the initiative on the scene.

At the end of the program, Hu Yue asked Chen Mo: "Thank you very much to Mr. Chen for coming to participate in Today's Current Affairs Debate today, giving an official explanation of the GTA game, and allowing us to better understand the true connotation of this game." Finally, I have another question, that is, a live audience member just asked, traditional violent games may not have much impact, but as the next generation of VR, the matrix game pod has a sense of immersion and realism far beyond traditional PC and mobile games, will it cause a more serious impact? ”

Chen Mo didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "May I ask you, what do you think is the future of virtual reality technology?" ”

Hu Yue was stunned: "The future? I think the future should be closer and closer to the real world. ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, the so-called virtual reality, the focus is on 'reality'. Whether some people want to admit it or not, the ultimate form of virtual reality will be a perfect reproduction of reality, or even transcendence. What kind of virtual reality world will we create in the future? Is it a 'paradise' where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, without any crime? ”

"I'm sorry, but while this is a good wish, it may only exist in the unrealistic thoughts of a very small number of people. Judging from the current literary and artistic works, whether it is movies, TV series, comics or games, similar false pictures almost do not exist. If you don't believe me, you might as well think about whether there are any popular movies or best-selling books where everyone lives happily ever after. I think that similar scenes can only be found in heaven. ”

"Why? Because the vast majority of people don't like this kind of falsehood. ”

"The development of virtual reality in the future will inevitably be diverse, with truth, goodness and beauty, as well as falsehood, evil and ugliness. Positive and negative, these are two sides of the coin, if you remove all the negative things, the positive things will appear false, and the whole world will become pale and weak. Negative things are meant to inspire people to yearn for good things and allow them to better recognize what is good. ”

So, will the violence of next-gen VR have a more serious impact? My answer is, no. Not only will it not, but this is the only way for virtual reality, the future virtual world is an all-encompassing world, as for what is good and what is bad, the majority of players have the right to judge. ”
