128 Don't ask, if you ask, you don't have any money

According to the survey results, 80% of gamers said they could not afford to buy a console with holographic projection installed on Xbox.

When they got this result, the people at Sprout Studios and Weisoft couldn't help but whisper 'Ah? 'Sighed.

The staff of Weisoft were anxious and red-faced, constantly scratching the back of their heads.

The host with the holographic module is indeed more expensive than a thousand yuan, but it shouldn't be...... This shouldn't be a reason to be rejected, as they have developed two types of pre-sale options.

One is that it is slightly more expensive and has holographic, and the other is that there is no holographic at the normal price.

The first type has dismal sales, not to mention the second, the former can't be sold, how can anyone still buy the second.

But when the staff of Sprout Studio contacted some big anchors, they got a result that was closest to reality.

That is, everyone is afraid to buy it, of course, it is too expensive to buy it.

"You let the old thief not worry, the pre-sale is only two days left, you see how hard they can be." Yinzi couldn't help but laugh out loud when she looked at the market research results that the employees of Sprout Studio had done for herself.

Yesterday, he released a link to a questionnaire in the live broadcast room, inviting the water friends in the live broadcast room to anonymously fill in the truest thoughts that he did not buy the host.

He still remembers that there were a few questions in the questionnaire that still impressed him to this day.

[Can you accept the price of a new generation console?] ]

There are a few answers to check below: 100 million points expensive, reluctantly acceptable, reasonable, and quite cheap

[Are you still satisfied with the games in the Xbox Store?] ]

Not very satisfied, reluctantly accepted, quite satisfied

[Would you like to give us some valuable advice below?] ]

The last question is open-ended, and at the end you can write your own suggestions.

Other game companies may give you a survey after you fill it out, 'You've done it, thank you for participating.'" ’

But Sprout Studios didn't, from making the game to the present, the main thing is a sincerity.

Although it is filled out anonymously, after filling out the questionnaire, you can see the final vote statistics of everyone and the final suggestions.

The last piece of valuable advice has been written by all sorts of people, but most of them can be summed up in one sentence.

'The game is a good game, but the console is a little expensive. ’

At first, everyone still didn't understand a little, and even Weisoft blamed himself fiercely because of this result.

But after listening to Yinzi's words and clarifying the current situation, I found out that this is the host is expensive, which is clearly the current situation of the Silent Hill experience personnel, and I have not dared to make up my mind to buy the host.

Maybe wait until the last day of the pre-sale, and everyone will be able to buy under the pressure of the pre-sale is about to end.

"Do you have any ideas to reduce the level of fear among players? Reduce the player's sense of substitution and create a fourth wall between the player and the game. Ye Feng looked at the people in the conference room, all of them were elites who had been promoted since the company's development.

This is not because of the problem of console sales, but Ye Feng himself has also taken into account that a horror game like Silent Hill needs to establish a barrier between players and games.

All games are trying to break the fourth wall, because it allows players to immerse themselves in the game more and experience the game better.

The presence of holograms also allows players to experience what it is like to be virtual in reality.

In the spacious conference room, everyone sat in their seats, their heads bowed and pondered.

The long table in the conference room is filled with game figures, as well as miniature buildings from the game.

Game companies, unlike other companies, have a rather relaxed and cheerful atmosphere most of the time, except for doing their own work.

The company is full of one-to-one model figures of game characters.

One of the people sitting at the end of the conference room stared at the translucent figure in front of him, and the longer he looked at it, the clearer the idea became in his head.

He held his hand aloft, "Boss, I have an idea to build a fourth wall for the player. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little arrogant in his heart, other companies are thinking about how to break the fourth wall, only they are in a meeting to find a way to build the fourth wall.

Seeing Ye Feng's gaze towards him, he said loudly, "Everyone knows that if the game modeling and action are too mechanical, people will have a feeling that they can't be substituted and frown when they come out of the play, and in a game based on the real environment, if the art modeling is not good enough, it will make people have an unimaginable estrangement." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the people around him couldn't help frowning.

"Of course, as a game company, we certainly can't afford to compromise our art style just to build a fourth wall for players, but we can adjust the transparency."

"When the player is doing a holographic projection at home, the player can't see their furniture and surroundings clearly in the lowest transparency, and the full projection is like pulling the player into a fantasy world."

"But we were able to increase the transparency of the projection and give the player the ability to adjust it to a level that is comfortable for them."

"In this way, players can see the familiar environment in the real projection, which greatly reduces the sensory experience of the game, but does not affect the gameplay experience of the game."

He tilted his head confidently, this is something he just suddenly thought of, if in the real projection, you can see the environment of your home, will the sense of substitution become less.

"That's a good one!"

"Damn, what kind of idea do you have, solve the problem in one fell swoop, hand over the ability to adjust the ability to players, and they can completely adjust the degree of transparency according to their own comfort level."

"Isn't the fourth wall built all at once?"

……

In the conference room, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Ye Feng also nodded, this is indeed a good idea, which can perfectly establish a fourth wall between reality and the game for players.

But the more he thought about it, the more strange it felt.

Originally, I was only afraid of the game, but after the reality and the game projection blended,

Is it true that players don't stare at their wardrobe at night before going to bed?

However, this suggestion can indeed reduce the player's sensory experience, and after the meeting, Ye Feng also adopted this suggestion.

This time, there were two options, one was to project the words in the game as well.

Previously, it was played directly to let the sound into the player's ears, but now the text content is displayed in front of the player's eyes.

For example, the text spoken on the radio will be displayed within sight.

Players are reminded all the time that this is just a game.

As soon as the plan was approved, Sprout Studios and Weisoft issued an update notice to inform all players of the update just now.

"Hey, I didn't have the money to buy a host, but since the old thieves are like this, then I will smoke two packs of cigarettes less, and I will also buy a host for the old thief." ’

'It's obviously for Ai Wenchong's performance, but it also has something to do with the old thief game, almost. ’

'Increase adjustable transparency?' One thing to say, I participated in the pre-sale because I scraped together the money to buy the console, and it wasn't because of this feature at all. ’

'I really can't do anything about you'
