Chapter 238: Old Moriya is really nice! A great motion capture team!
We're still throwing smoke bombs!
That's great of you!
All given up?
The most important thing is, weren’t you the first to come up with the smoke bomb tactic ?
How could he suddenly overturn his previous plan?
They couldn't understand what Lao Gu was doing and were all stunned. Even Shen Miaomiao looked confused.
However, Gu Sheng just laughed:
"Because Moriya is too smart, and he is suspicious and cautious. We can't hide it from him."
Yes, Moritani predicted Gu Sheng, and Gu Sheng also predicted Moritani’s prediction.
After all, this is not the first time that Golden Wind has used smoke bombs and sneaked into Chencang.
In the previous escape project, Gu Sheng had kept it secret and used "To the Moon" as a cover.
According to Sato, Golden Wind's low profile had already attracted the attention of Managing Director Moritani. He judged that Golden Wind could not have spent so much time developing just a small pixel-style game, and thought that they might be accumulating projects to ambush Konami.
But unfortunately, at that time, Joetsu Keimasa's mind was full of collusion with Yamamoto Tsuna, and he simply ignored Moritani's warning.
Only then was he dragged into the Abyss of Gamblers by the Golden Wind, and he could only close his eyes and step on the accelerator to collide head-on with the Golden Wind.
And this time!
Gu Sheng used the same trick again, and the first person he worried about was Toru Moritani.
Others may believe that Garden Warfare is the main project, but Toru Moritani may not believe it.
First of all, Moriya knows himself very well. When he was in Japan before, the two had had in-depth exchanges on the future development of the game more than once.
He and Moritani revealed that he will launch various innovative games in the future and even open up new genres to bring Golden Wind to new heights.
Moritani knows what he is capable of.
Secondly, he knew Moritani very well and knew that Moritani was a meticulous person who had a deep understanding of the gaming industry and a keen sense of smell.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Konami was able to take root in the motion sensing cabin track several years ago and develop all the way to dominate the Eastern Hemisphere today. Its various development policies and strategies, as well as the correct choice of games, are inseparable from his planning and suggestions.
If we take into account the entire Konami, we must pick out one person that Gu Sheng is afraid of.
That could only be Tetsuya Moritani.
"This person is so perceptive and willing to trust his intuition and judgment and pay for it,"
Gu Sheng said:
"Maybe he had already figured out that we were going to make trouble for Konami before I called him."
"So..." Shen Miaomiao shrugged and grinned: "We just told ?"
"right,"
Gu Sheng nodded:
"Because if I don't say it, he will say it. Only if I say it, he won't say it."
Although Moritani is suspicious and cautious, he is a husband.
From the previous "accidental like" incident, it can be seen that Moritani has an almost rigid pursuit of "morality".
Although Moritani is a modern man, in the words of Japan, he has his own Bushido spirit.
Golden Wind has always had a bad relationship with Konami.
However, Gu Sheng and Moritani's personal relationship has never been affected and they have always had a good relationship.
To Yu Sengu, Gu Sheng is his friend.
When dealing with friends, benevolence and righteousness should be put first.
If Gu Sheng doesn't tell him the truth, then it would be reasonable for Moritani to report to the company and be on guard against the Golden Wind.
But now, Gu Sheng told him the whole situation. If he reported it at this time, he would undoubtedly be putting himself in an unkind and unjust position.
"this……"
After listening to Gu Sheng's explanation, Lu Bian and Dajiang looked at each other.
It seems hard to believe that in modern society, there are still people who adhere to their beliefs like this.
"But if Moritani really reports Kamitsuki Keisha, then we won't have any good solutions, right?"
Lu Bian spread his hands and frowned:
"After all, this is just your private behavior. No one else will know about it, and it will not attract public criticism."
"But he couldn't get over it,"
Gu Sheng pointed to the location of the heart:
"A gentleman can deceive with his own methods, but it is difficult to deceive with his own wrong ways."
"oh……"
Dajiang and Lu Bian seemed to understand, blinked, and looked at Shen Miaomiao:
"What does Mr. Shen mean?"
Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes.
Neither of you understand what's going on.
"It means that you can only use morality to blackmail people with morality,"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao raised her little hand and gave Gu Sheng a thumbs up:
"You are so mean, you are so mean..."
…
This move is indeed a bit damaging.
Especially since Moritani had already determined that Golden Wind was about to launch an attack.
but!
Just two minutes!
Moritani is just short of walking to Joetsu Keimasa’s office!
Gu Sheng called, and Moritani was trapped by his own Bushido spirit.
Everything is calm at Konami, and the three top studios are busy preparing for the upcoming Tokyo Game Festival, hoping to make up for their previous losses.
On the other hand, in Golden Wind, the development of "Sekiro" is also being carried out in full swing.
Let’s be honest.
It's difficult.
Somatosensory cabin action game.
Not to mention that Golden Wind was produced for the first time, even looking around the world, there were very few .
From the underlying logic to the visual effects, they are completely crossing the river by feeling the stones.
although!
For Gu Sheng, who has the system under his belt and doesn't have to worry about level design and storyline, the game is almost ready-made.
However, it is not easy to perfectly transplant Sekiro, which originally belonged to the console and PC platform, into the somatosensory cabin.
Because on the console, the wolf itself is an experienced ninja. All players have to do is press the buttons on the controller according to the enemy's moves to control the wolf to make corresponding actions and defeat the enemy.
It's just a matter of moving your fingers.
But in the somatosensory cabin, what Gu Sheng has to do is to "transform" the players into wolves, allowing the players to control themselves in the game through nerves and perform actions such as "flipping the knife", "dodging", and "ninja killing".
It's very complicated.
And they have no experience.
I don't even have any experience in outsourcing.
It's just like a pony crossing the river.
No wonder in this world, action games are very important on PC, but few people make them in the motion sensing cabin.
It's difficult.
The development time is short, and the market for guns, cars and balls is huge, and everyone is making a lot of money from it. Who is willing to spare the energy to specifically study the performance of action games?
In this situation, even Gu Sheng, who was well-versed in systems, felt unprecedented pressure.
Don't say you are frowning.
At least the number of jokes on weekdays has obviously decreased.
Even when I am at home, my mind wanders from time to time and I often stay busy in the studio until late at night.
Shen Miaomiao expressed great concern about this.
She had never seen Lao Gu so serious before.
When they were making games before, the overall atmosphere was full of laughter. Although some technical difficulties would arise in the process, they were not particularly difficult to solve. Basically, they could overcome them together after discussing them.
But this time it's different.
Shen Miaomiao could clearly feel it.
The technical challenges of the "Sekiro" project seemed to be endless.
Often after one problem is solved, another one appears.
Before this one is even resolved, the next one pops up.
Although I have to admit it!
It is a pleasant thing to watch Lao Gu working hard.
But in the long run, Shen Miaomiao is still a little worried that before the game is completed, Lao Gu will die first.
So, when Gu Sheng went to Tokyo, Shen Miaomiao bought another plane ticket and accompanied Gu Sheng.
…
"...Yeah, I just got back to the hotel. How's home?"
"...That's good, good, good, great..."
Dusk falls and night falls.
Tokyo, Japan.
InterContinental Nakagawa Hotel.
With a beeping sound.
Gu Sheng opened his door, shrugged, held the phone between his shoulders, carried the colorful shopping bags, pushed the door open with his butt and walked into the room.
Gu Sheng placed the shopping bags against the wall and turned on the lights, so that the luxurious suite was illuminated by warm lights.
"Oh shit... I'm really tired!"
A long sigh!
Gu Sheng threw himself onto the sofa, picked up the phone and said, "Let's talk on video."
When the video was opened, I saw that it was already past eight o'clock in Zhongjing time, and Lu Bian and Dajiang were still in the office.
"How was it? Did it go well?"
Lu Bian asked on the other end of the phone.
"It went smoothly," Gu Sheng took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and took a deep breath: "Not only did it go smoothly, but there were also unexpected surprises."
Over there, the two brothers listened attentively—
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao arrived in Tokyo the day before yesterday afternoon.
Although they said there was no need to pick them up at the airport, Moritani still insisted on asking which flight they were taking and arrived at the airport early to wait.
That night, Moritani was the banker and there was no one else around, so the three of them had a meal and drank some wine.
Because the project development was time-sensitive and the task was heavy, Gu Sheng did not beat around the bush and started talking about the related plans for the "Sekiro" project during the meal.
They are now in urgent need of excellent motion capture studios and motion capture actors.
In fact, generally speaking, motion capture studios have their own motion capture actors, and they use a complete set at a time.
"But the Sekiro project... requires extremely professional and large amounts of samurai sword action material."
At that time, Gu Sheng said:
'So we thought, can we hire a professional martial artist to do motion capture?'
'After all, in addition to motion capture, we also need motion data to realize the presentation of relevant movements in the somatosensory cabin.'
What a lunatic!!!
When Moritani heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Although Gu Sheng had previously revealed to him that they were about to move towards the 'body action' genre with this work.
But when he confirmed that Gu Sheng was serious, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
For the motion sensing cabin game market, this is an almost blank area!
Golden Wind's first 3S-level masterpiece!
You will run the risk of the car rolling over easily!
If this isn’t madness, then what is?
but!
I can complain in my heart...
"Old Moriya is really kind,"
Gu Sheng said:
"As for the motion capture team, he recommended me to the 'Japan MOSIA Motion Capture Studio',"
"This studio has had a lot of cooperation with Konami before, including the "Yakuza" made by Yamamoto Tsuna, which was provided with technical services by them."
Hiss—awesome.
Hearing this, Lu Bian and Dajiang looked at each other and nodded.
Although "Yada Kuangbiao" failed, providing motion capture technology services for such a work does not seem to be an achievement that brings honor to the company.
But as professionals in the circle, they know that "Yada Kuangbiao" lost only due to reasons such as gameplay, story, and turbulent external reputation.
The industrial quality of this game is absolutely first-class!
Especially the performance movements, which are smooth and very natural.
Moreover, MOSIA motion capture has always been very famous in the industry.
Of course Gu Sheng had no reason to refuse!
So the next day, which was yesterday, with Moriya's help, Gu Sheng started cooperation negotiations with MOSIA Studio.
"Originally there was nothing to discuss about this thing,"
Gu Sheng said:
"We pay the money and they work, that's only natural,"
"Unexpectedly, this conversation turned out to be a big surprise!"
turn out to be!
MOSIA's service objects have always been science fiction movies and TV series, as well as some games on the PC platform.
Because the main feature of these works is that 'the protagonist is expressed from a third-person perspective'.
After all, only in this way does motion capture make sense!
But Gu Sheng wanted to do motion capture for a somatosensory cabin game, and it seemed that this project was quite large, so the people from MOSIA became interested and asked him indirectly, curiously wanting to know what kind of game this was that could use such large-scale motion capture technology.
result!
The first thing Gu Sheng said was a 'motion cabin action game'!
MOSIA was completely confused!
Holy shit! Did I hear that right?
Playing action games in the somatosensory cabin?
Moreover, we want to make an action game full of the flavor of the Japanese Warring States Period!
Such an amazing concept, coupled with Golden Wind's well-known reputation in the game market.
The person in charge of MOSIA was impressed at that time!
You must know!
If Golden Wind can really make this thing, then the reputation of their MOSIA motion capture studio in the gaming circle will naturally rise to a higher level!
Moreover, this kind of project is basically beneficial to them with no harm.
The technical strength is there, so even if the game fails, it won’t have a big impact on them.
"Yakuza" is an example.
Plus, Shen Miaomiao has never been short of money.
Therefore, MOSIA showed great enthusiasm for this project.
Moreover, after Gu Sheng proposed "hiring professional martial artists", he took the initiative to put forward a name and bluntly stated that if Golden Wind was interested, MOSIA would be responsible for contacting and negotiating with that martial artist team to facilitate cooperation!
"Who is it?"
Listen to what Gu Sheng said mysteriously.
Lu Bian and Dajiang couldn't help but feel curious.
"Have you heard of Kenji Tanigaki?"
Gu Sheng asked.
Hearing this, the two people on the opposite side thought about it and shook their heads: "Tanigaki Kenji? I haven't heard of him..."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. I'll change my name."
Gu Sheng smiled and waved his hand:
"Have you heard of Rurouni Kenshin?"
"Taniguchi Kenji is the action director of this series, and his team is the martial arts team of this series of movies."
