Chapter 322: Consultant Ye went to Los Angeles again
At this year's CGS, of course, the herring fish network also released more game content of "Getaway", many things are disclosed for the first time, mainly in the form of screenshots, and it also contains a battle video of more than two minutes, which has attracted wide attention from game media at home and abroad.
In this video, although it is also edited through several clips, it is not a complete live demonstration, but many players and media can also get an overview of its combat system...... Besides, after all, it's the best part that has been edited.
The function of this video itself is not to allow players to learn how to fight from shallow to deep, but it is just to show off the technique and presentation...... Pick up the coolest stuff at this stage and put it out.
Of course, it is no longer the kind of Satsuma dog that has nothing and lacks everything during Ye Shenxi's internal test, and it is all temporary replacement content, but it has improved more details, completed the action, and added skills with different effects that players need to obtain through the plot or collection in the later stage of the game.
At that time, Ye Shenxi had not increased the skill system during the internal test, and he could only fight in ordinary melee combat and long-range attacks, but now he has it, with gorgeous special effects to show the battle, increase the combo effect of different exercises, and then present it to the players.
At the scene, hundreds of players gathered around the herring booth to watch the premiere of the demo video, when the protagonist of the video teleported behind the monster, leaving the residual image of the particle effect in place and slowly dissipating in the air, and even the teleportation trajectory can be seen as if a space curvature effect similar to air refraction, the scene erupted in a tsunami-like amazement.
I came here with high expectations, because I heard that there would be a fight...... Usually an RPG game battle must be released in the middle or late stages of development, but it only took eight months for the herring network...... Dare to show that there must be a considerable degree of completion, so that before the start of the exhibition, their expectations will naturally be raised to a high height.
And the effect lived up to their expectations, as if they were watching a movie that had been in post-production for a long time.
While the protagonist appears behind the monster, he continues to draw his sword and slash at the monster in a set of fluid movements.
The monster's striking action, the sound effect played just right for each slash, and the time slowdown and camera shake that appear at the right time when the action is obviously very strong, make the sense of blow in this clip almost the pinnacle.
These are all very detailed things.
Adjusting the sense of impact is a long-term process, and the core content is definitely the action. Whether it is the character's hitting action, the monster's hitting action, the force feedback during this collision, or the judgment of the hit frame...... For example, if I hit you in the stomach and you fly out with your head up, it's not natural.
In addition to this, at this time, "Getaway" not only completed this part, but also added more auxiliary effects.
The distinct sound effects of the blow, the muffled sound of a punch, the speed of a sword slicing through the air and the slash of an enemy, the variety of rich sound effects and the action itself are perfectly coordinated, as if the sound is really accurate to the time of the two or three frames of the hit, almost as if each segment is hand-tuned.
There is also a charge slam, the whole frame has a brief but obvious time deceleration effect, which makes people feel that all the forces have a cumulative process in this deceleration process, come together, and then explode in the next moment after the slow motion ends.
It's true, the next moment, when these converging forces gushed out, the monster was knocked away for a long distance like a broken kite version, and the lens itself still had a shaky cooperation, which made it even more difficult to see that this blow was negative.
Of course, this effect will definitely not be so cheap.,It must be the end of a certain combo or ultimate.,But whenever it appears.,Even if the monster doesn't lose that much blood.,This will make players feel refreshed and hearty.。
Attentive players may even notice that the monsters' clothes begin to tatte as the battle progresses, and there seems to be a flying effect of clothes and even a small amount of blood splattering in each collision...... And the monster itself looks scarred.
At that time, he appeared at the Qingyu booth to explain to the players a planner in the past of Henggong Studio, as for the high-level, Ye Shenxi needless to say, Shan Jie also returned to Funan immediately after participating in the summit forum and continued to catch up...... Originally, the progress was actually a little ahead of the original expectation, and everyone did not participate in many activities, and when they encountered some problems, they discussed with various overseas gods and then found solutions to solve them.
This makes the plan that was set before quite a lot of time.
But after Ye Shenxi came back from his trip to the capital before, he mentioned the progress again, and the originally estimated two-year time period may be shortened.
……
During this time, he also received a call from Ding Yicheng and expressed his gratitude from the company's standpoint.
Because after the seminar that Ye Shenxi participated, the review of the Copyright Department was slightly loosened, and it has said that it is speeding up the review of the version of "Burning Expedition...... Ye Shenxi has changed some things after all, at least in the struggle for power and profit, the two departments of Department H and the Copyright Agency are not as endless as they were originally, and they must become the departments that have the final say in the field of online games.
As for Wrath of the Lich King, Huang Yi doesn't expect it for the time being, let's open the server first.
Later, at the end of August, the Copyright Administration finally released and allowed Huang Yi's "Warcraft" to be officially operated, at this time, 84 days have passed since the suspension of "Warcraft" in the original stone city, and roughly calculated, the loss of Huang Yi and glass slag is about 330 million yuan......
Previously, after Shicheng lost "Warcraft", Chen Xiaowei admitted frankly that the company lost more than 90% of its revenue, and Shicheng's share price also fell all the way this year, from $43 in April last year to April this year...... It dropped directly to $7, as if you had reached the bottom of the valley.
Subsequently, Shicheng launched four lawsuits against the glass slag in succession, including commercial defamation, software copyright disputes, property loss compensation, and computer software copyright license trial contract disputes. This is no longer the third lawsuit, but the fourth, and the Huangpu No. 1 Intermediate People's Court has also accepted the latter two lawsuits.
Stone City has a big time, not long ago they fired 300 of the original "Warcraft" customer service, almost all of the 80-person branches in the capital have also resigned, and four of the six vice presidents of the headquarters went to the capital to supervise the layoffs...... Their Beijing branch was originally mainly responsible for the operation of the two games "FIFA OL2" and "World of Kings", and now it should be cut, and the rest will be merged into the Huangpu headquarters, and the outside is also speculating about the emptying of the entire Beijing branch, it is estimated that it is to place the remaining nearly 500 original Warcraft operation team.
This matter has caused a lot of uproar, causing a storm of public opinion that has not stopped, and now he is directly suing the glass slag.
made it clear that they wanted to play "Warcraft" to death, maybe they didn't feel it themselves, but in the eyes of others, they were like a child who lost his beloved toy and rolled around.
At that time, Shi Cheng and the lawyer representing the glass slag faced off in court, and the two sides actively defended each other, and the court announced that the verdict would be announced at a later date.
According to the relevant regulations, if there is a dispute between an overseas game company and a domestic agency, the operation of its domestic game will be completely suspended until the dispute is resolved...... So...... "Warcraft" was shut down again.
At this time, it has just been two weeks since Ding Yicheng called Ye Shenxi to express his gratitude...... And the NetEase national server of "Warcraft" has just been opened for a week, and a week later, the service was suspended again.
This is not a question that Ye Shenxi can interfere with, Shi Cheng seems to be determined not to let Huang Yi feel better, although both the outside world and their own internal thinking that the possibility of winning the lawsuit will be much greater.
Among the players, some people are radical and scolding, and some people are also numb, and they have said, okay, okay, love open, love who to love......
However, Ding Yicheng can still accept it, as long as it is not a power game from above, it is still acceptable...... Anyway, as long as the Shicheng lawsuit has a result, it should be able to open the service again as soon as possible.
It seems that under the pressure of public opinion and the bigwigs above, Zhu Jun and Chen Xiaowei have a tendency to withdraw their lawsuits.
……
In addition to leading the team to continue the development of "Getaway", Ye Shenxi also took time to go to Los Angeles in September, the main purpose of which was to go to the University of Southern California for interactive entertainment major investigation and research, mainly in accompaniment.
The Department of Higher Education, the Department of Science and Technology, the Department of University Students, and the Department of University Work directly under the Ministry of Education each selected one or two cadres to form a seven-person investigation and research team, and this time they will go to four well-known schools in North America that have set up game development-related majors to conduct field visits to see how people carry out their work.
After the inspection, a report should be submitted, the results of the investigation should be given, and according to the report, it would be like a meeting to discuss, ponder and study, and gradually give a feasible plan for adding relevant majors in China.
What is feasible, that is, what kind of degree it belongs to, which schools will be opened on a pilot basis, what courses will be set up, how to teach, where to hire teachers, etc.
This research team was led by Wang Shucheng, deputy director of the Department of Higher Education, who had often met with Ye Shenxi in the capital, and Ye Shenxi was responsible for helping to introduce and contact those schools, but gave him the title of consultant...... However, he didn't know the leaders of those schools and departments, and he could only contact them through large companies like Activision.
USC's Interactive Entertainment program is one of seven majors offered by their most prestigious film school, and the most notable feature of this major is the ...... There is money, because the game industry has money, game companies have money, there are sponsorship, and the game practitioners themselves belong to the high-paying industry, and the school funding is quite sufficient. So this major has its own independent building for teaching and technical research and development.
There are even high-end R&D labs, in addition to high-definition cameras and projectors, game testing rooms, motion capture rooms, and even they have started to develop virtual reality equipment.
However, it can be seen from the students of this major that their content is mainly in the field of art and design, including the design of scripts, game music and sound effects, and the code related to the program is also taught, but it is relatively weak......
