Chapter 109: Pokémon's future imagination
If Gu Feng is asked to judge whether an IP is successful, then in his opinion, when a fictitious image is known to seventy or eighty percent of people, the IP has already been successful to the sky.
Pokémon is such an IP, maybe many people will still be confused just talking about Pokémon, but as long as Pikachu is mentioned, these confused people will immediately show a sudden look.
"Oh - you said Pikachu, you know."
What is called out of the circle, this is.
In addition to Pokémon, there are naturally many IPs like this, such as Mario, Marvel, Ultraman, and so on......
When it comes to influence in the gaming world alone, Mario is second to none; In terms of the influence of the film and television industry, Marvel can be described as a god who blocks and kills gods; On the influence of the anime circle, Ultraman ...... Forehead...... It's really not enough for Pokémon to beat it with one hand, if it weren't for the interest in his previous life, Gu Feng didn't expect that the world's most influential anime IP, Pokémon would actually come out on top, and what surprised him even more was that the second, third and fourth places were Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, and Mickey Mouse.
However, although Mario and Marvel can't be done in a single circle, many people may be unbelievable in terms of comprehensive influence, and all the IPs mentioned above may not be able to do Pokémon together.
Compared with other IPs, Pokémon has truly achieved 360-degree all-round development without dead ends.
Gu Feng's greatest wish in this life is to make his original intention a real legend in the history of game development, and a game company that can be called a legend, if it doesn't even have an IP to support the façade, it is more or less funny.
In the previous life, who could become a giant in the game industry, who didn't have one or two IPs that could be called gold-sucking monsters? Blizzard's Warcraft, Riot's League of Legends, Activision's Call of Duty, R-Star's GTA, EA's FIFA, SE's Final Fantasy, miHoYo's Genshin Impact, and Nintendo's Pokémon and Mario ......
Of course, League of Legends and Genshin Impact are also games in Gu Feng's future plans, the former has established its unique hegemony with more than ten years of domination, and the latter has demonstrated its influence all over the world in just two years.
In the early days of League of Legends, the company was unknown because the company was not famous, and in the early days of Genshin Impact, it could only spit on itself under suppression.
Both prove one thing with their actions and facts like everyone, and in the gaming world, time really will tell.
Gu Feng has a rod scale in his heart, he knows what a good game is, and besides, the original intention is not miHoYo, and the day when the original heart makes the original impact, he firmly believes that no one can suppress him, and the humiliation of being injured at home and going abroad to lick his wounds will not happen a second time.
However, although League of Legends and Genshin Impact can also be regarded as two big IPs, Gu Feng has thought carefully that whether it is MOBA or Genshin Impact's unique human-cutting mechanism, neither of them is actually very suitable for the development of VR and even holographic in the future.
Technology is advancing, the future of games cannot stop at mobile games, although there have not been phenomenal VR games in the previous life, but this is the general trend of game development, the past life did not appear, it does not mean that this life will not appear.
He has a system, and he has the valuable experience left by countless predecessors in his previous life, who said that a traverser must only do what he already had in his previous life?
What Gu Feng wants to do is to be a pioneer in this world, to open the way that has been opened in the previous life, and to open up the road that has not been opened in the two lives.
The appearance of Pokémon made Gu Feng have a large number of ideas in a short period of time.
Unlike League of Legends and Genshin Impact, the stages of League of Legends and Genshin Impact are on the PC side and the mobile game side, but Gu Feng privately thinks that the stage of Pokémon is not on the PC side, nor on the mobile game side, or even on the console side, but - VR! Holographic!
No matter how classic the Pokémon heirloom turn-based combat mechanics are, from the perspective of a professional game designer, Nintendo's potential in the previous life may not even be a tenth of the potential.
The turn-based system greatly limits its combat performance, and the skill number limit greatly limits the tactical depth and operational ceiling.
Try to imagine that you are engaged in a gym battle at this moment, the rules of the battle are doubles, the battlefield is a water field, the combination sent by the gym trainer is Charizard and Blastoise, sea and air are one, it is extremely difficult to deal with at a glance, you have to think about which two Pokémon to choose to fight, and what tactics to use in the command for a while.
Command your most trusted Pokémon to battle like a true trainer! Go win! This is the true charm of Pokémon.
Imagine again, you are in the finals of the Fengyuan Regional Alliance Competition at this time, the Pokémon on both sides have fallen five, and there is only one final battle left in the 6V6 peak showdown, you and your most trusted initial Pokémon Pikachu, against the opponent's Flame Chicken, which is also an ace and has reached the peak of the fighting spirit, the virtual characters in the audience are all real players, they are cheering for you, shouting for you.
Because it is a 1V1 battle, players can enter a state of concerted efforts and directly control the body of the Pokémon with their consciousness, at this moment, the Pokémon is you, you are the Pokémon, enjoy the beauty of the terrifying energy in the Pokémon's body, and enjoy the blood and pleasure of experiencing the battle.
Whether in command or in person, the battle scenes and immersion that VR can show are by no means comparable to any Pokémon series in previous lives.
Maybe it's not that Nintendo doesn't want to do this, maybe it's just that the technology can't reach it.
The above scenario that Gu Feng imagined can't do it on the console, the terminal game can't do it, and the mobile phone can't do it.
Only VR and holographic have a chance to bring the purest battle charm of Pokémon to life.
If the picture above really becomes a reality one day in the future, then the era of MOBA domination may really be ended by the new king, and VR Pokémon will write a new chapter in the esports industry.
Gu Feng sat up from his chair excitedly and turned on the computer to search for information such as VR, holographic, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.
Dongdong!
Listening to the debater, Gu Feng knew that it was the senior sister knocking on the door.
"Enter."
The office door was pushed open from the outside, and the person outside the door was indeed Jun Zilan, but she didn't come in, but stood at the door and shouted, "Eat." ”
"Oh good." Gu Feng subconsciously responded, and after realizing his reaction, he looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer with an "ah".
"I'll go! Why is it noon? ”
Jun Zilan was no longer surprised by this scene, but just urged: "When you forget about work, you are all sisters and brothers, pigeons never like this, let's go, let's go, come back after eating." ”
"Gentleman's Orchid! You're getting too much now! Gu Lan's voice sounded outside the door.
"Nonsense, where did I go too far?"
"Did you just say that I was active in eating?"
"That's right."
"Look, you admit it, you're just hinting that I'm not serious about what I do, and my mind is full of food, hum!"
Gu Feng locked the screen and got up, and when he heard the "argument" between the two outside the door, he couldn't cry or laugh, how could he listen to it and feel that the old lady was coquettish?
"You're too cranky, aren't you?" Jun Zilan was also a little crying and laughing, 176 she directly grabbed 165 Gu Lan like a boy, "Didn't you always say that you all have a saying in Shu called 'If you don't eat actively, you have a problem with your brain'?" I use you as a positive teaching material to criticize him, and I don't care about my body at all. ”
Hearing this sentence near the door, Gu Feng suddenly couldn't laugh......
