Chapter 375: Is Honghuang planning another big move?
The birth of new technology.
This made Lao Li and others overjoyed.
I was even more shocked by this feature that I had never seen before.
They didn't expect it.
Just by simply scanning the body, the player's outline can be imaged in the game, even in detail!
This is no longer comparable to simple game modeling.
It is a technological innovation, a key step from virtual to reality!
"A Guang, come down quickly and let me try it too."
“I want to build a model for myself too!”
"No, don't grab it! I was here first!"
"Fuck, Old Li, why did you stand up there?"
"You guys are moving too fast!"
The entire testing room was noisy.
Including Lao Li, everyone was scrambling to stand up and test, wanting to see how their game modeling was.
Even without Chen Lin's arrangement, the character modeling of everyone had been completed.
When they saw characters exactly like themselves appear on the screen, with even the same expressions and movements, they exclaimed in surprise, as if they had discovered a new world.
"Mr. Chen, will this technology be used in games?"
Old Li couldn't help but turn around and ask, his eyes full of joy.
"Yes." Chen Lin nodded, "I plan to make a game to test it out first, and use it as a guide for the new equipment."
"convoy?"
The others were stunned when they heard this.
"Isn't it said that there are already four IP sequels to protect it ?"
After this period of preparation, those games have entered the final testing phase, and almost all employees who have signed the confidentiality agreement know that they will be launched on new devices.
Now we have to add another one.
That is to say.
Five escort masterpieces? ?
"The four games will remain the same, but I plan to add a new game to boost sales for the second-generation machine."
New Game!
Everyone's faces lit up when they heard this.
Is the big project finally coming?
"Mr. Chen, what kind of game is it?"
Old Li asked first, his eyes full of anticipation.
Others are also looking forward to it.
You know.
Now in the entire domestic game industry.
The most envied practitioners are these Honghuang employees.
Because we receive game projects almost every year, and the platform provides a guarantee for profit.
If they are lucky enough to make a hit product, the bonus for that year will be enough to make them several times the money they earned, and their salary will be far higher than that of their peers.
So many people dream of entering Honghuang and regard it as a holy land for gaming practitioners.
After all, Honghuang is now one of the world's top 500 companies.
The resumes received every day can almost pile up into a mountain, and they include elites from all walks of life.
Not only that, the interview has to go through a series of screening procedures, and not everyone can get in easily.
"As for games... we haven't decided yet. We'll have a meeting to discuss it when the time comes. During this time, we'll promote the new equipment first."
Chen Lin thought for a moment and said.
Then he thought of something and looked at Xiaoli beside him: "By the way, the eighth anniversary is coming soon, right?"
"Well, next month." Xiaoli answered quickly.
"One more month?"
Chen Lin touched his chin, then raised his head and said, "That's perfect. Let's hold the carnival at the virtual sports venue. We can promote the new equipment in advance. You can talk to Lao Song later."
"OK."
Xiaoli picked up the tablet and quickly wrote it down.
after.
They also worked with the R&D department to test some new equipment functions. After collecting enough data, they returned to their respective posts and became busy with the next tasks.
…
at the same time.
In various game circles.
After this period of hard work, players finally reached the late stage of the game "2077" one after another.
Those players who have seen CG fall into emo also defeated Adam's Hammer as they wished, and kept reloading the game and whipping the corpse countless times.
I finally released the unhappiness in my heart.
"Haha, cool! Let you be arrogant."
In the live broadcast room.
Ouyang Xiao kicked at Adam's heavy hammer's body.
This was already her fifth time to load the game, just to whip the corpse and vent her anger.
After defeating the boss so many times in a row, she became very skilled and was even able to complete the level without taking any damage.
"It feels good."
"This old guy should be whipped a few more times."
"I just got here today and abused the heavy hammer more than ten times."
"Same, it's so cool to use all kinds of weapons to beat people."
"I know how to fight now."
Seeing Adam's hammer being slaughtered again, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room surged, and many people said it was exciting.
It's really that CG has dealt them too much of a blow.
It took me a long time to come out of the emo scene.
Now that my revenge has been achieved, I finally feel a little better.
"Let's go, let's continue to advance the plot. I feel like we're almost at the end."
Cleaned up the scene.
Ouyang Xiao did not stop and continued to move forward according to the instructions.
The current protagonist V, because of the previous biochip, came back to life after being shot in the head, but there was another person in his head, the consciousness of Johnny Silverhand.
He is the legendary figure who blew up the Huangban Company 50 years ago.
The two consciousnesses repelled each other, and coupled with the severe damage to his body, he was already dying.
Therefore, it is necessary to use Arakawa's technology to separate the consciousness in order to survive.
The players have always believed in this, and they have overcome all the levels and finally reached the end of the game.
However.
Beyond everyone's expectations.
This game has more than one ending.
But six in total!
And none of them have a good ending!
Either give the body to Johnny and leave your consciousness in the database, or successfully separate the other consciousness but be told that you only have a few days to live.
The only thing that is barely good.
It means giving up treatment, giving up everything you have, fleeing Night City with your friends, and waiting for death in the wilderness.
When all the endings are revealed.
The players were emo again.
I almost burst into cursing.
"All right……"
In front of the camera.
Ouyang Xiao looked at the setting sun in the distance, speechless.
In fact, she had already guessed that this would be the outcome.
There are no living legends in Night City.
In this man-eating iron cage, no one can escape, not even the protagonist.
But along the way, those thrilling experiences and familiar partners were all real, and it was not a wasted trip.
What made her most uncomfortable.
After the protagonist V died, the video calls from old friends and the words of mourning that appeared at the end of the film were simply a fatal blow.
You'll feel better if you die.
But those who care about you and love you are sad and painful because of this.
I have to say that Honghuang is getting more and more skilled in using knives.
"Not bad. I give this game 87 out of 100. The missing 12 points are for hitting someone on the street while driving, and the remaining 1 point is for being a bad person in the prehistoric world!"
After letting out a long sigh, Ouyang Xiao quickly recovered and became his usual cheerful self again.
After all, I have completed a masterpiece, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Even the audience came back to their senses and started discussing the plot and content of the game, making it very lively.
until.
A sudden barrage of comments flashed by.
"Host, check Weibo! There's something new coming out!"
"Something new?"
Ouyang Xiao, who was interacting with the barrage, looked puzzled. He opened Weibo through the browser that came with the Honghuang platform and saw a message on the homepage.
[Honghuang (official): The 8th anniversary carnival brings you something different...]
The content is just a short sentence.
There is also a short video attached below.
This was the scene of Lao Li and others standing on the testing table and undergoing body scans.
Originally, everyone was a little confused.
But when they saw an identical person appear on the screen next to them, the entire internet went wild.
"Fuck! What is this?!"
"Human body scanning imaging??"
“This, this, this…”
“This is so real!”
"Is it a special effect synthesis?"
“It doesn’t look like it.”
"Could it be the new technology that Carnival is going to announce?"
In just a moment, the announcement was flooded with comments.
The technology displayed on the screen was so shocking that it completely refreshed their cognition.
Just stand there and scan, and you can generate a character exactly like you in the game, even the expressions and movements are exactly the same.
Add to that the tactile system that already exists on the virtual side, wouldn’t it be like a real person entering the game?
Not to mention netizens.
Even major manufacturers were alarmed and watched the content of the video in disbelief.
“It’s really a thermal imaging scan!”
“To be able to do this!”
"How is this possible!?"
Exclamations were heard among various manufacturers.
As game practitioners, they look at the problem differently from players and immediately realized the huge potential of this feature.
That's game character building!
Everyone knows.
Building a character, including design, composition, modeling, rendering, action logic and other processes, takes a lot of time.
But if there is this technology of Honghuang.
It can be generated directly and is indistinguishable from a real person.
Even if we modify it into a game character based on this, it will be much more powerful than making it from scratch!
"This is incredible. Is the Honghuang Carnival going to be a big one this time?"
After being shocked, some players couldn't help but speak.
“I don’t know if it will be used in the game.”
"Damn it, there's not much information to be derived from just this little clip!"
"When will the Honghuang Carnival be held?"
"Same question!"
The thermal imaging scanning technology revealed that many people's attention was focused on the Honghuang Carnival.
You have to know that these few months are the time when major manufacturers around the world hold carnivals.
It has been a hot topic recently, and now Honghuang has suddenly joined in. You can imagine how lively it is on the Internet.
Many players are waiting for more new game content to be revealed in advance at the carnival.
As for those large factories that are already preparing.
After receiving the news, they started working hard. They have come up with so much new game content and IP sequels, and they don't want to be overshadowed by Honghuang.
They are all working harder in publicity and promotion.
And just when everyone was talking about it.
In the Honghuang
After finishing all his work, Chen Lin called together the team leaders to discuss matters concerning the new game.
"Mr. Chen, many manufacturers are planning to hold carnivals this time. It is said that there will be many blockbuster games and sequels."
"We can't let them outshine us."
"So we have to prepare a game plan that's a bit more presentable."
Everyone was discussing the current situation.
Nowadays, the virtual market is constantly competitive, and many manufacturers have taken the opportunity to make a fortune, so they naturally have spare money to develop more projects.
Even the Riot Carnival, which had been suspended for several years, was restarted this year, and some game updates were revealed, attracting the attention of countless players.
Since you want to use a new game as a gimmick.
It has to be loud enough.
"I think we should first determine the type of subject matter."
At this time, Old Song next to Chen Lin spoke.
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
I started thinking about what kind of game I should make.
"How about an action movie?" someone suggested.
"No, there's already Monster Hunter in the sequel, and duplicating the genre isn't a good idea. Besides, this type of game isn't very compatible with the virtual side." Someone objected immediately.
"What about FPS?"
"No, there won't be a sequel to Resident Evil, right?"
"Racing is always okay, right?"
"Need for Speed..."
“…”
As they were talking, everyone got stuck again.
Now they already have four IP sequels: Monster Hunter, Red Dead Redemption, Resident Evil, and Need for Speed, and other online games will also be updated with major versions one after another.
In this case, new games must not be classified in the same category, otherwise they will only fight among themselves.
"Are these all useless?"
Even Chen Lin himself didn't have much of an idea.
He has good games, but suitable games are rare.
If it appears at the wrong time, even the best game may fail miserably.
He certainly won't affect the promotion of other IP sequels for the sake of a new game, so he has to think of some new ways.
New method...
New Game...
Chen Lin quickly flipped through the project materials on the laptop, and even to the bottom, he still couldn't find a suitable game, and his brows gradually deepened.
This is a situation where no solution is available.
It was the first time he encountered this.
It's really hard to know where to start.
But soon.
He suddenly had an idea.
"Yes! New game!"
"Why didn't I think of that?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
