Chapter 353: Visiting Professor

"Sulfuric acid face" Itagaki has always been known for his open-mouthedness, although Ye Shenxi has never met him, he has heard of it for a long time, and when he heard it today, it really deserves his reputation.

One of the older brother's most famous remarks was: "Tekken 12345 is my top 5 most hated game. ”

"My little brothers trust me very much, and I will cut whoever I tell them to cut."

"I don't really understand the thoughts in Kobayashi's head, I only heard this name for the first time yesterday, and "Devil May Cry 4" is such a bad game that dares to be released?"

That's the style.

Comparatively speaking, Japanese game producers seem to be better known than those in Europe and the United States.

Players also talk about them, Hideo Kojima, Shinji Mikami, Eiji Aonuma, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Keiji Inafune, and pay homage to Shigeru Miyamoto from time to time, and there are relatively few mentions of Europe and the United States.

On the one hand, after the collapse of Atari, for some time after that, the center of gravity of the global game shifted to Japan.

In addition, Japanese game manufacturers often use producers as the selling point of their games, and they will also mention and praise them when they promote them, while Europe and the United States mainly focus on manufacturers and teams.

The division of labor between European and American teams is also more detailed.

There are also more PC games in Europe and the United States, and PC games are still at the bottom of the chain of contempt in the gaming circle.

For all sorts of reasons.

Itagaki has become an A-list game producer with two projects, "Dead or Alive" and "Ninja Dragon Sword", but he has never been able to return to his previous heights since he left TECMO due to financial disputes the year before last. And the pants removal demon because of the chain effect brought about by his resignation, and the two companies of Dark Rong were also merged with Dark Rong last year.

For the appreciation of this senior, Ye Shenxi can only say that he is afraid, and he has nothing to say about such a straightforward expression, just forget it after hearing it. Fortunately, he just mentioned his own game, if he said that the 5 works of "Iron Fist" 12345 were compared with "Getaway", it is estimated that Ye Shenxi will gain a large number of black fans again.

One powder is worth ten black.

"Then let's go and get busy, this is our first time doing a mobile project, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to the mobile phone belongs to the block operation, the UI interface and the point operation on the PC side are not small, don't think that the fingers have the precision of the mouse operation, pay more attention." Ye Shenxi explained while petting the cat.

"Okay."

……

On June 28th, the last of the three major media outlets, "Gamespot" finally gave their official rating of "Getaway", which came a little late and was not satisfactory.

In the end, they gave "Getaway" a score of 9.5, which is actually a high score, but in the eyes of players, it is not worthy of "Getaway".

Of course, in the evaluation report, they still praised and touted "Getaway", but under the world's expectation for the birth of another game with full scores in three major media, this score is particularly dazzling, causing countless people to sigh.

"We agree with many of our friends that this is truly one of the best games of our generation, and Getaway shows everyone a vast and in-depth system of oriental mythology, as well as a vast and interesting open world. However, it cannot be ignored that there is indeed a gap between Eastern and Western cultures in the theme of the game itself, and we have seen a lot of efforts by Fisoa to bridge this gap, but this gap still exists, and it is not so simple to resolve. ”

"Whether it is the plot, the picture, the music, or the gameplay, "Getaway" is good enough, and the cultural gap itself is not a shortcoming, but it exists objectively." Rating: 9.5.

Gamespot posted this review on the front page of their official website, and Ye Shenxi himself was not very relieved, but there is no doubt that he was immediately attacked by players and fans, and ridiculed by other commentators.

"Gamespot says no to Getaway." This has also become one of the hot topics of discussion on social networks.

Their own editors are a little confused...... Is 9.5 points very low, it's already very high, it's very face-saving, okay...... This is a bit beyond their expectations, how can a score of 9.5 be criticized.

Personal game critic and veteran player Damien999 tweeted: "Gamespot has repeatedly proven that it has not kept up with the trend of the times, in fact, Getaway is a game that belongs to the next generation, and it is normal for them not to understand. ”

Hulvers, one of the opinion leaders in another player group, also said: "We always thought that Famitsu was very picky, but Getaway was the first non-Japanese game they selected, and there was almost an unwritten rule before that they didn't give full marks to non-local games." But in the face of the strength of "Getaway", they also loosened, and the evaluation report was written sincerely and touching. ”

"Gamespot seems to have made a mistake, and the fact that a game that gives everyone a thumbs up does not show how good your taste is, but rather highlights unprofessionalism and outdated trends, and this opinion is only for the reference of the editors of Gamespot."

In another world, "Famitsu" is indeed the first foreign manufacturer to give a full score until 2011's "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", and before that it was all games from some domestic manufacturers, such as "428 ~ Blockade of Shibuya" and "Monster Hunter 3", in fact, it does not occupy any advantage in comparison with European and American masterpieces of the same era.

It may not be a problem to put their approach in the old days when Japanese games were at their peak, but now with the rise of Europe and the United States...... It's a bit too much to say.

This year's "Getaway" allowed them to break this "tradition", which is enough to prove that the popularity of this game in Japan is actually their own borrowing of a donkey to break the ice.

On the other hand, in Gamespot, they have always thought that IGN is too casual and loose about such standards as perfect scores, and the editors have communicated internally that they should try to minimize full score games.

Coincidentally, "Getaway" just hit this muzzle.

It's also the times that create heroes, of course, the evaluation of the game will change with the review editor's own taste, such as the 13-year-old masterpiece "The Last of Us", under the full score of a number of media, "Gamespot" also withstood the pressure and played an 8/10, which happened to be not so liked by the review editor.

This criterion will also be related to the context of the times.

For example, in the early days of "Famitsu", it was also tried to get a full score on one platform, and "Final Fantasy 12" was able to get a full score during the PS2 period, also in order to give Soni and PS2 a face.

Another criterion: you can't always get a perfect score for one set...... Just like GTA4 and GTA5, the former is a double perfect score for IGN and GameSpot, and the latter is a double perfect score for IGN and Famitsu.

Sometimes in addition to quality, it also depends on luck.

"Now you know why GS (Gamespo for short) can't expand their global reach, less than a month before that, Getaway has already scored perfect marks from 21 media outlets, and it doesn't work when it comes to GS, and the reasons are so far-fetched and too difficult to convince the public. Refuse to get a full score for this reason, and simply explain directly that the oriental-themed game can't be counted as a full score. ”

"Sometimes the opinions of the media can only represent the opinions of a few people in their editorial department, not even the opinions of the majority of players."

"Pasca has been since his debut (he's not an entertainment star...... Since then, it has been smooth sailing, almost invincible, and invincible. Now he's finally met his lifelong enemy, Gamespot......"

"It's a joke when you think about it, the editors at Gamespot don't understand anything about this game that is ahead of its time, it's not a joke, it's a fact."

"Shouldn't you play a game before you review it?"

There were even more aggressive players: "I'm never going to go to the GS website again, and hopefully everyone will too." ”

There was a sudden wave of "anti-Gamespot" on the Internet, which was unexpected......

The Gamespot review editorial team was under a lot of pressure, and even discussed internally whether to revise the score, but this proposal was quickly rejected, which seemed too unprofessional, as if the rating was given without careful consideration and repeated discussion, so that the score for other games in the future will not be convincing.

They are not the only media that did not give full marks, there are many others, why are they being besieged...... It's not all good to have a lot of influence.

……

The School of Computer Science of Sichuan Shu University issued an announcement on its official website: "Notice on Hiring Ye Shenxi, President of Qingyu Network, as a Visiting Professor of Sichuan Normal University".

In the announcement, Shu University said: In order to strengthen academic exchanges and scientific research cooperation with Comrade Ye Shenxi, after the 13th president's office meeting in 2010, it was decided to hire Professor Ye Shenxi as a visiting professor of Sichuan Shu University. The main cooperative departments are the School of Computer Science and the Department of Game Design, and the main collaborator is Professor Han Qinghe, Vice Dean of the School of Computer Science. The cooperative colleges and collaborators asked Professor Ye Shenxi to carry out relevant academic work and make important contributions to the discipline construction, scientific research and talent training of our university.

The employment period is from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013.

Visiting professors are not honorary professors, both are honorary titles, but the latter is OK to confer this title, and after the title is awarded, even if the awardee does not go to that school for the rest of his life, it is fine.

However, visiting professors have to work, and from time to time they need to go to the school to give lectures, lectures, participate in collaborative research, etc., which is equivalent to ...... Part-time.

Ye Shenxi found such a part-time job.

Earlier, when Shu University opened this major, the outside world was speculating that it was also eight or nine to ten, why this major was chosen as a pilot in Shu University, mostly because of the local herring network in Funan.

Okay, now the real hammer is out.

It is definitely not just the cooperation between Ye Shenxi and Shu University, this must be the in-depth cooperation between the company of Qingyu Network and the university of Sichuan Shu University, those bigwigs in the company should also go to Shu University from time to time to work part-time, and may also provide some hardware, teaching teachers, etc., students may also sometimes visit the Qingyu Industrial Park, and be edified by the top corporate environment, and excellent graduates may also directly enter the Qingyu Network for internship after graduation, or be directly hired. Since then, we have embarked on the road of life.

This is really unenviable.

It is true that the herring fish network industrial park is in the south of Funan City, everyone knows that the vast land of 40,000 square meters, the base of the herring network has started construction at the beginning of the year, and the construction period is ...... It hasn't been revealed, but it should be done in batches, and then employees will move in one after another. It is estimated that within next year, several buildings should be able to rise from the ground and be officially put into use.

And entering the Qingyu network is now the ultimate dream of domestic game practitioners, but the difficulty is indeed a bit big. The company is expanding fast, but it's also demanding more and more from its employees, who are becoming more and more attractive to the best gamers from all over the world.

At the dinner of the China Game Developers Conference, Ye Shenxi met with Doug Jinfeng Yulu, and then invited him to join the company to make a start. Domestic gamers want to enter this company, not just to compete with their domestic peers for jobs, but to compete with the best practitioners in the world.

In China, the employees of Qingyu Network now have a kind of game industry...... The saying of the Draconians.

The announcement of the School of Computer Science of Shu University also posted a photo of the hiring ceremony, which was in a conference room of the school, and there was a banner with bright red background and gold font of "Comrade Ye Shenxi Visiting Professor Appointment Ceremony of Sichuan Normal University" behind it.

The title "comrade" ...... It's true that you can't write a "Ye Shenxi boss" or something in a place like the school, and hiring other visiting professors is basically a doctor or something, so Ye Shenxi can only use comrades.

Even the standing posture is the same, how to count the number of people in a row, there are eleven or twelve, Ye Shenxi is standing in the middle, looking a little out of place, he is surrounded by some middle-aged men, and there are also one or two young women...... The academic researchers in suits and leather shoes attending the meeting did not look very harmonious in a photo.

Netizens don't know each other very well, they can only read the text introduction, ah, they are all some relevant leaders of schools and colleges......

Shu University's own students are even more supportive, the rumors are true, the school is really involved with the herring network, ah...... Cooperation, is cooperation.

Some students have already begun to think about it carefully, and even go to the hall to transfer departments and so on.

They also posted some photos on the Internet, which were Ye Shenxi, accompanied by school leaders, wandering around the school, visiting the teaching facilities and environment.

and this announcement complement each other, corroborate each other, and also indicate this professional ...... It's really not for fun, and it's not used to provide conversation for the masses after tea and dinner. Whether it is the Ministry of Education, Shu University, or Qingyu Network, everyone has paid enough attention to the birth of this emerging major.

At this time, the school itself has been on summer vacation, but colleges and universities, it is definitely not that there is no one in the school as soon as the middle school and primary school are out of the summer, and there are still many students who stay in school, part-time jobs and the like and do not go home.

The atmosphere here is very lively and open, even in the scorching eyes of the school leaders, there are still many students who come up to greet Ye Shenxi and ask for an autograph or something.

They should all be senior game enthusiasts, and they are also shouting "Mr. Dang".

Chen Qinghe, deputy dean of the School of Computer Science, asked with a smile: "Mr. Ye, why do they call you Mr. Dang?" "He's not joking, he really doesn't understand.

A middle-aged man in his forties, smiling and kind, he likes Ye Shenxi, a young man, putting aside the identity of the boss of the other party's big company, it is a kind of elder who likes to look at the younger generation, and even a little ...... Look at the feeling of the son-in-law.

After all, Xia Qingyu was also a popular figure in Shu back then, and these teachers all knew the name of that girl.

"My ID is Pasca, and that's what they called." Ye Shenxi was also very helpless, remembering that when he was promoting in the United States, Europe and Japan, at the signing meeting, some people called it like this.

If it's just an international student, and a foreigner also calls it like this, he can't help it with an accent that is not correct or round.

A group of foreigners didn't learn anything good.
