Chapter 16 VR Games Untouched

"You said he wanted to make VR games?"

Haicheng, the general manager of unlimited network entertainment.

Mr. Liang looked a little surprised after hearing the report.

"Yes, I said I needed to discuss it and get back to him later. Mr. Liang, do you think you still want to do this? ”

At the desk stood a tall woman in a white petticoat.

As the supervisor, she helped her silver-rimmed glasses, and after being surprised, she felt a little whimsical at this time.

Mr. Liang glanced at her and frowned slightly.

"Did you tell him about the current state of VR?"

The woman nodded.

"I made it clear to him that VR games are technically difficult to achieve an instant experience of the game. It's not like 360° broadcasting like film and television. These are two different concepts. ”

"And what did he say?"

"He said he knew it very well and understood it, and that's why he had to do it."

Mr. Liang was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he speak in displeasure.

"I don't think he understands anything! If VR games are really so easy to make, haven't major foreign manufacturers done them a long time ago? And those foreigners haven't done it before, look at what "VR Interstellar" has become of him, don't people in the industry know? ”

The tall woman didn't answer, apparently she also felt a bit impractical to do VR games.

Mr. Liang leaned back in his chair and shook his head.

"It's good for young people to have ideas, but ideas are not the same as delusions, and you can't do things with your mouth. A person who makes "Dark Forest" can only say that he has excellent skills and is a well-rounded talent, but this does not mean that he can ask for stars and moons, and people must face reality! ”

After a pause, he looked at the woman in front of him.

"Mr. Pity, if you reply to him, just say that VR games have not performed well in the world, and there is not even a work that can catch the eye. If he wants to use the funds from the support program to make VR, first ask him if there is a case he can use. ”

After Mr. Liang finished speaking, he sat up slightly straight, lit a cigarette, and smoked.

"We happen to have a cooperation with Copper Core Technology, so let's use their VR. Tell Mr. Shimmer that we provide VR development tools and let him show us a case. ”

"The funds in the support program are intended to be invested, but the investment is in promising and profitable projects, rather than spending them indiscriminately. There is not a single convincing case for the uncertain direction of VR, and even if I wanted to, the shareholders would not agree. Therefore, let Mr. Shuoguang provide a case not only to persuade me, but also to persuade the shareholders, but also to persuade the market, so that the money can be given willingly. ”

"Got it?"

...

...

"So, what your boss means is to see if I have the ability to do VR here, right?"

Meng Shu held the mobile phone, drank happy water, and summarized the meaning on the other end of the phone.

[I'm really sorry, Mr. Shimmao, it's hard for us too, VR games are really hard to do right now, it's not just a technical problem, it's also a high cost problem.] ]

[This kind of VR game has been made abroad, not only the quality is poor, but there are also a large number of bugs, and the price of the first release is ridiculously high, but the players don't buy it, the game has to be taken off the shelves, and finally it can be seen from the financial report announced by the manufacturer that it has lost a lot.] ]

[Since then, no company at home or abroad has made VR games, and players have become accustomed to the computer and console side, and VR may not be accepted by players for a while.] Teacher Shimming, you need to think about it. ]

Meng Shu waited for the female voice on the phone to finish speaking, and then groaned for a while, but after seeing the development engine in front of him, which could be used by monkeys, he showed a confident and absolute smile.

"Thank you for the reminder, I actually know what you said. I would like to ask, if I do come up with a case, what is the approximate amount of support you will have? ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then a sigh came.

[Judging by the quality of your VR, if there is really a good level, it will not be less than 10 million.] ]

10 million?

Meng Shu frowned.

Truth be told, less.

However, when you think that you don't develop your own games like other companies, you don't have to work hard like other companies, but take the path of systems, so it doesn't matter.

"In a month, I will publish the case, but 10 million is too little, and when you see my case, you will consider how much to support."

Suddenly there was an inhalation on the other end of the phone.

[a... One month...? This... That... Then we wait for your good news. ]

I could hear that the other end of the phone was obviously not convinced, but he suppressed the urge to ask, so it seemed a little intermittent.

Meng Shu chatted with him for a while and learned that the other party had a cooperative VR company, which saved him the time to contact.

He then explained the need for the VR development tools and asked them to provide them as soon as possible.

After that, he hung up the phone and got the electronic version of the distribution contract for "Dark Forest".

Looking at the two PDF files in the V letter, Meng Shu shrugged his shoulders and did not click on them immediately.

He took his phone, put down his chair, and lay on it looking at the ceiling, where the skin of the wall was somewhat peeling, and fell into thought.

The world has clearly popularized VR, but VR games are shoddy and untouched, and the root cause is likely to be...

The development engine can't keep up!

This problem also appeared in the original world.

Many people think that the development of VR games is not much different from the computer and console at the technical level, so they want to make a profit after porting some classic games to VR, and the result is all overturned.

Whether it's The Elder Scrolls 5 VR, Fallout 4 VR, or L.A. Black VR, all of them hit the streets without exception.

But it's not without VR that deserves recognition.

For example, "Resident Evil 7 VR" is a work of high quality.

And looking at all the VR games, at the top of the pyramid is probably "Half-Life: Alex".

Realistic graphics, high degree of freedom, smooth movement, detailed textures, industry-leading physics and collision feedback.

It can be said that it really brings players into the world of the game and smooths everything.

And the engine used in such a brilliant work is a new tool that has been developed for nearly a decade.

So for a good VR game, it is important to develop the engine.

And the engine of this world obviously can't do this.

Otherwise, VR games wouldn't be shoddy.

Although the game engine of this world is not good, the development engine that can be used by monkeys produced by the system can!

And, stronger than the engine that developed Half-Life: Alex in the original world! More comprehensive!

In this world where VR is popularized, no one makes VR games, which is equivalent to a blank market.

If you don't make good use of it, how can you be worthy of the identity of the traverser and the ability of the system?

Thinking of this, Meng Shu smiled.

"Playing games across the screen is like watching a movie, and it is estimated that there are many people with electronic impotence after a long time."

"It's time for something new, it's time to bring you into the big stage of the game world!"
