Chapter 214 The hope of the whole village!

"General!"

"A lowly official."

"Another check!"

"Admiral."

"Turn back and fight again!"

"...Haha, great chess! The aggression is endless, it's really like a spring breeze and a horse's hooves are galloping. Today's chess moves are very fierce."

Weekend noon time!

Shen Wanlin pinched the chess piece in his hand, smiled, and shook his head to admit defeat!

"No, you let me."

Gu Sheng also smiled and took the chess piece from Shen Wanlin to review the game.

"Why--"

Hearing this, Shen Wanlin took a sip of tea and shook his head to indicate that Gu Sheng didn't need to be so modest in front of him:

"Young people are supposed to be full of energy. If they are not full of energy, can they be called young people?"

"You're almost done, Dad,"

Shen Miaomiao came over with some fruit and stuffed a piece of cut orange into Shen Wanlin's mouth:

"He's already famous enough. He's the most popular person in the domestic gaming circle, and even in the Asian gaming circle. If he becomes more popular, he'll catch fire..."

Shen Miaomiao is right.

Gu Sheng is now too powerful, and he might even catch fire!

Since the collision with Konami!

It’s been a full month and a half till now!

The names "Gu Sheng" and "Sam" have almost always been on the lips of gaming media and players!

First, he used "Escape" in the horror game circle, and firmly sat on the throne of the king of horror, making "Silent Hill" unable to even raise its head!

Later, with sales of 1.16 million copies in a single week, it exploded the horror game circle, directly killed the competition and shook Konami's entire Tokyo Game Festival's revenue plan!

He also took the opportunity to bring down one of Konami's three major studios, 'Yamamoto Studio', causing an uproar in the industry!

And at the beginning of this month!

As GDC announces the invitation list for this year's developer conference.

Huang Jinzhifeng and Gu Sheng, who were invited as an exception, once again became the hottest topic in the circle, and the popularity lasted for a long time!

The players were in an uproar, like spiritual shareholders, and some were even more excited than Gu Sheng.

Not only because this is Golden Wind's first time participating in a global gaming conference.

What’s more, this time, Golden Wind is the only Chinese manufacturer attending the conference with new works!

Yes!

The other three manufacturers, Guangyao, Zhenting and Nuyan, did not bring any works to the conference this time!

First of all, it is limited by the limitations of GDC.

In theory, projects exhibited at GDC usually need to have a certain degree of pioneering and innovative significance.

This is the default rule of GDC. If you bring a mediocre work, the publicity effect will be counterproductive.

So even if the three brothers had new projects in hand, they didn't dare to bring them here, for fear of repeating Konami's mistakes.

Secondly, it was naturally because of the Golden Wind’s move this time—

You must know!

Brilliance, thunder, rage, flames.

These three big companies in China at that time had all suffered more or less from the "beating" of Golden Wind!

At the Asian Games, the racing game that Nu Yan had invested heavily in was defeated, and it was Gu Sheng who won the gold crown.

Later, in the new generation of somatosensory cabin battles, Zhenting, as one of the "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", was also defeated by BT-7274.

As for Guangyao, it was even worse!

It was beaten twice!

Not only was he involved when Zhen Ting was beaten, he was also the one who was beaten badly by "Left 4 Dead" before!

so!

At this conference, China's three major manufacturers all maintained a tacit understanding.

Golden Wind has taken action, so let's not make trouble.

And in this way!

Golden Wind undoubtedly became the only Chinese delegation participating in the conference!

The hope of the whole village!

Although!

GDC is a non-competitive gaming exchange event.

But according to the tradition of previous years, at the closing of the conference, media representatives and organizers will select a "Most Anticipated Game" title.

And no Chinese game has ever won this title since its inception!

The closest time was six or seven years ago when the motion sensing cabin had just become popular, and Nu Yan was nominated for "Ford".

Such a situation!

This shows the Chinese players' expectations for Golden Wind.

"So this time, you're not going to go the horror game route, right?"

After listening to Shen Miaomiao's narration, Shen Wanlin asked:

"Since this GDC emphasizes innovation, striking while the iron is hot is not a good option."

Shen Wanlin was so experienced that he pointed out the direction for Gu Sheng with just one sentence.

Special situations require special treatment, although striking while the iron is hot is definitely good for profits from a normal business perspective.

But in this situation, it is obviously inappropriate.

"Well, I really have to put the horror game aside this time."

After Shen Wanlin finished speaking, Gu Sheng also nodded:

"Firstly, it's because the occasion is not suitable, and secondly, it's because my next horror game development plan is still facing resistance."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Shen Wanlin raised his eyebrows slightly:

"What resistance?"

"copyright,"

Gu Sheng said:

"The next horror game development plan involves the copyright of an old IP that is floating around, so before development, I have to find an opportunity to acquire the copyright."

“I see…”

After hearing what Gu Sheng said, Shen Wanlin nodded slowly and pondered for a moment:

“Is it difficult?”

"Not too big... not too small,"

Gu Sheng smiled, thought for a moment and replied:

"Funds are a small matter, but human relationships are a big deal."

"Um……"

Hearing this, Shen Wanlin nodded.

After a moment of silence, he said, "There will always be a way out when you need it. Maybe the good fortune will come naturally when you need it..."

That’s it!

Shen Wanlin picked up a chess piece and dropped it onto the chessboard!

Bang!

…

"Five in a row, you're dead."

On the tablet computer, the black pieces fell, forming a five-star chain, killing the white pieces once again.

United States.

Rockies.

Conference Hall 5 of the International Conference Center.

today!

It’s day three of the Game Developers Conference networking conference!

It is also the time for the 'Asian Game Developer Representative' to give a speech!

More than 300 multimedia comprehensive conference seats are now full!

The stage, equipped with a giant screen and Dolby surround sound matrix, is full of lights and colors!

Click, click!

The flash lights kept going off!

The media's flash lights were flashing in front of the stage.

There were even guns and cannons set up on the open space at the back row of the entire conference hall.

Top game developers from five continents gathered together, eagerly waiting.

And at this moment.

Under the side curtain of the stage, Gu Sheng had just completed ten consecutive kills against little Nezha in Go!

"You're cheating! You didn't even inform me!"

Shen Miaomiao was obviously very dissatisfied with being killed by Gu Sheng again:

"You can't connect diagonally anymore. Connecting diagonally doesn't count!"

"Hey! Isn't your request a bit too much?"

Gu Sheng was shocked:

"Are you cheating or am I? Are you changing the rules at the last minute?"

"My rules are the rules!"

Shen Miaomiao was not right but still very confident:

"Or you can give me three pieces and I'll go first!"

"Then can't I just declare you the winner?"

Gu Sheng was simply shocked by the shamelessness of little Nezha:

"I gave you three pieces, but you took the initiative and formed them right away. What the hell am I doing?"

Watching the two of them arguing and playing chess with their tablets.

Chu Qingzhou on the side was completely speechless.

Big brother! Big sister!

GDC!

We are at GDC and will be on stage giving speeches and presentations soon!

You are actually arguing over the rules of a game of Go?

Is this something you need to consider and be concerned about now?

However!

Just about to open my mouth to remind you again!

Then the host's voice sounded on the stage!

"Let's welcome Sam, the chief game director from China Golden Wind, to the stage,"

“Bring us a special lecture on the future development prospects and shaping methods of cinematic games, as well as a live demonstration of the latest work!”

Buzz——!!!

Suddenly!

Warm applause rang out in the conference hall, mixed with screams and whistles from time to time !

Following right on!

The entire conference hall fell into darkness!

Whoosh whoosh——

The sound of the sharp wind came through dozens of speakers surrounding the entire conference hall!

It was like a hurricane flying through the wind, or more like a stream of air rapidly falling past your ears.

As the funky music started playing, a picture appeared on the huge screen at the scene:

Ten thousand meters above the sky!

The camera follows a tall and thin man falling down!

Following right on!

The camera flipped over and saw that behind the tall and thin man, there was a strong man with a square beard following him!

As the two people fell rapidly from the sky, an eagle flew by and cut the picture into two!

On the left is a man with a beard in the shape of a square. Below the subtitles are [Starring: Vincent]

On the right is the perspective of a tall, thin, hook-nosed man, with a subtitle above saying [Starring: Leo]

As the scenes continue to switch, the magical dual-perspective visual experience also comes to you!

In the prison area, Leo punched a cellmate from the right screen to the left screen, and Vincent in the left screen hit his cellmate with a knee strike and knocked him into the right screen.

In the prison, Vincent passed a wrench from the left screen to the right screen, and Leo in the right screen reached out to take the wrench.

On the high wall, Vincent in the left picture is climbing up the rope, while the rope passes through the right picture and is held firmly by Leo.

Vincent rowed on the left and Leo steered on the right.

Vincent drove on the left while Leo blocked the enemy on the right.

Although the two people are in different pictures and have different perspectives, they have the same goal and cooperate with each other.

From prison, to high walls, to rural fields, to luxurious villas.

final!

The two people walked towards each other from the split screen, and the two images were spliced into a complete picture.

The time went back to when they were still in prison.

The two passed by each other and had a brief exchange——

"What's the weather like lately?"

"Good news, there's a storm tonight."

"Action tonight?"

"Action tonight!"

Finally, on the pitch-black screen, the words "A WAY OUT" appeared, cast by the shadow of the barbed wire.

Next second!

There was a brief silence for half a second!

Then there was thunderous applause and exclamations!

'ohhhhhhh - is this a trailer? Is this a game trailer?'

'Oh my god! It looks like a movie trailer!'

'It's incredible! They are clearly doing the same thing, but the split screen presents completely different pictures!'

'Push-in, pull-out, surround, all kinds of overhead shots, it's like a movie-level storyboard!'

'It looks like the Prison Break movie!'

'It's like The Shawshank Redemption, but a little easier than The Shawshank Redemption!'

'There is no doubt that Golden Wind will never disappoint in terms of imagination and creativity! '

'I've never seen a promo like this before! It's really refreshing!'

'Where on earth does Sam get all these creative ideas!!!'

"……"

A simple play!

But it immediately caused a lot of discussion in the audience!

The excellent storyboards and montage techniques perfectly present the best look and feel of this game!

Following right on!

Gu Sheng, wearing a gray-blue casual suit and a Mickey Mouse watch on his wrist, strode onto the stage under the lights that were turned back on!

Thunderous applause broke out!

The new visual experience brought by the film screening made all the participants at the scene stretch their necks in anticipation, waiting for Gu Sheng’s speech today!

Gu Sheng also walked to the center of the stage and picked up the microphone:

"Good morning everyone, I am Gu Sheng, the chief game director of Golden Wind,"

"So what you just saw is the new work that we have prepared specifically for this GDC and is currently under development,"

"A two-player cooperative, interactive movie game:"

"Escape..."

at the same time.

There was also a lot of heated discussion on the official live broadcast room:

'This trailer for Crab No Meat is really cool!'

'Fuck this storyboard! Fuck this montage! Fuck this transition! Fuck! '

"I told you that this guy would have something big to show for GDC! This game is so fucking cinematic!"

'It's bad! He really got the movie game right!'

"As expected of you! Xiao Huang! The hope of the whole village!"

"……"

The scene is full of anticipation and heated discussions in the barrage!

And with Gu Sheng's analysis from the simple to the complex, coupled with the explanation of the relevant settings of "A Way Out".

There were even more exclamations at the scene, and the barrage of comments showed "ohhhhhhh——" one after another!

An incredible game!

even!

For a moment, everyone didn’t know whether they should call “A Way Out” a game!

Because the two 'leading actors' marked in the trailer actually need to be played by two players respectively and cannot be replaced by AI!

and!

The long transition between CG and live-action footage in the middle is even more thrilling!

All kinds of fancy montage techniques and camera movements, coupled with the film's unique 2.40:1 aspect ratio, made everyone present exclaim in amazement!

The Golden Wind is so bold and Gu Sheng’s creativity is so ingenious!

This game is so hard to define!

It is both a game full of cinematic techniques and a movie starring two players!

What kind of sparks will this magical setting create and what kind of effect will it produce?

"I know that everyone must be curious about this new setting, and may also be a little confused,"

Gu Sheng said:

"After all, a simple trailer and my words alone cannot present the most appropriate game effects,"

"so!!!"

Speaking of which!

Gu Sheng's voice rose a level!

The whole audience focused their attention on him, and all media cameras were focused on him!

"So I specially prepared a half-hour actual game demo to show you all."
