Chapter 547: What a satisfying scam!
This game... is kind of awesome.
This was Gu Sheng’s first impression.
Yes, this game belongs to Yunwei, and Yunwei is now the only international competitor of Golden Wind. Theoretically speaking, as the president of GW, he should not help others to gain more advantage and destroy his own prestige.
But as a qualified gamer, Gu Sheng had to admit——
This game is really awesome.
The last game that gave him this refreshing feeling was the demo game "Unrecord" created by the Gaul DRAMA studio in his previous life using Unreal Engine 5.
The visual presentation under the superb performance of Unreal Engine 5 is so realistic that many players even questioned whether the skit demo was shot with a real camera.
When it was first released, everyone who saw it would say, "Wow! Is this so awesome?"
Very impressive.
However, that kind of quality presentation is only limited to skit demos.
At least before he traveled through time, the release date of "Unrecord" was still unannounced, and there was a high probability that the release date would not be announced.
The reason is very simple -
The reason why this game looks so realistic is that it uses a lot of high-precision modeling and two very clever lighting schemes, striving to make the entire game screen infinitely close to reality.
Moreover, a very powerful point of Unreal 5 is that it can directly use real-life scanned models, and no topology baking is required, which is equivalent to reducing the difficulty of scene rendering in disguise.
So from a technical point of view, it is achievable.
But it is not enough to support it to build a complete, well-organized, content-rich and playable game.
"Unrecord" is actually more of a technical display of a cinematic narrative process, rather than a gameplay display focused on interaction and experience.
In human terms, it means -
This thing is made for you to watch, not for you to play with.
now!
The promotional video released by Yunwei has a lot of flavor from his previous life's "Unrecord" in terms of picture quality, and even surpasses that skit demo in some details!
And this is not the most important thing!
The most important thing is that Yunwei’s promotional video has a heads-up display UI interface from beginning to end!
That is to say!
All the scenes in this trailer...are they actual gameplay footage from the game?
Gift crab——!
Gu Sheng was really shocked.
Survive, build, cooperate, clash, trade, socialize, entertain, farm...
Extreme graphics, rich gameplay, multiplayer interaction, open world, and even physical destruction on large battlefields!
If this promotional video is really a real-life performance of Yunwei’s latest work, then it will definitely be a groundbreaking gaming masterpiece!
With ultra-realistic graphics, rich gameplay and the construction of an interactive social ecosystem, it will surely become a second universe independent of the real world!
This is not a game at all!
This is simply the breakthrough for humanity to achieve a leap in digital life!
Gu Sheng asked himself, with the current technical capabilities of the Golden Engine, is it possible to make such a game?
In terms of graphics, Phoenix also has real-scene scanning modeling and high-precision model rendering similar to Unreal 5. If it puts its full effort into graphics performance - it can.
In terms of interaction, Gu Sheng has countless open world games in his own game library. As long as we can take the essence and remove the dross, and make every effort to expand the playability - it's possible.
In terms of scene performance and physical effects, Golden Wind's self-developed physics module is now very mature, and if it puts all its efforts into presenting physical interaction - it's possible.
Maybe it's time for a curious baby to ask questions -
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu, since these technical problems can be solved, why are you so shocked by Yunwei's game?"
Because what Yunwei is saying now are all my words!
Why do we need to establish a seven-engine module system?
Why did we acquire Phoenix and Magic?
Why did we make Made in Heaven independent?
Why did we draw on the elites from the three major studios to form a team?
From the development of the Golden Engine to now!
Golden Wind’s initial investment in the Made in Paradise project has exceeded 6 billion US dollars!
Once this project is officially launched, its production cost will exceed 3 billion US dollars!
Nearly two years of preparation!
An investment of nearly 10 billion !
The effect they ultimately want to present is what is shown in the Yunwei promotional video!
But now!
Yunwei actually got ahead of them and said that he had already completed the project?
ah???
Buddy, is it on or has it never been turned off?
Aren’t we in possession of the world’s most advanced gaming technologies now?
For graphics, we have Phoenix, for sound, we have Aurora Games, and for augmented reality, we have Dream Engine.
The rest, such as artificial intelligence, physical performance, and neural safety, are all high-tech technologies that we have independently developed and mastered, and are unique in the world.
Then the question arises -
How the hell did you make the game in this promotional video?
Do you have a secret R&D department?
Reserve emergency response technical force?
Specially designed to handle situations where this technology is blocked in direction?
I have been saving for two years and invested tens of billions of US dollars in this ultimate project, and you just did it for me?
Gu Shengren was dumbfounded!
If this was true, he wouldn't even think about why he lost first, but would be curious about how Yun Wei did it!
It feels like humans have just achieved the Second Industrial Revolution, invented internal combustion tanks, and wanted to conquer the natives of East Africa, but the natives of East Africa directly took out the Vibranium Helicarrier.
Isn't this Wakanda, buddy?
Scratching head.
It's really puzzling.
Seeing Gu Sheng's puzzled expression, Shen Miaomiao also grinned:
"Is this game... really cool?"
Hearing this.
Gu Sheng opened his mouth.
How to say it.
"I can't say it's amazing,"
Gu Sheng licked his lips:
“I can only say that no one can stop it.”
hiss--!!!
After these words came out, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but take a breath!
Is it so strong?
Has the situation become so serious?
And at this moment!
Dongdong...
With Yunwei's stunning promotional video coming to an end.
In the pitch-black screen, two lines of wasteland apocalyptic-style fonts appeared on the screen.
【Yunwei Games】
【Grand Offer】
【"On the Eve of the Disaster"】
【E3 Game Show, first-hand experience...】
Gu Sheng’s expression froze for a moment.
Then he slowly typed in his mind: ?
When I type a question mark, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
On the eve of the catastrophe...
On the eve of catastrophe???
hiss--!!!
Gu Sheng took a breath of cold air!
As a gamer, he may not have heard of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Red Dead Redemption, Minecraft, or even Half-Life!
But it is impossible that he has not mentioned the well-known "On the Eve of the Catastrophe"!
Because, it was the emergence of this game that made the pre-sales and trailer quality of the game industry regress twenty years!
The most powerful expert in the gaming circle at that time, the worst scam in the history of gaming development!
It is this! It has created a new form of trailer showing "CG+UI pretending to be a real machine demonstration"!
It is this! It created the record of "declaring bankruptcy four days after going online"!
Even compared to him, the three masters Hongxiadao, Guru and King Kong have become handsome!
The spectacle of receiving a flood of negative reviews on the first day of its release and the lowest score ever recorded on IGN all prove its top-notch game quality and operations that can be called fantastic or even magical!
And now!
In this parallel world!
This game, which is hailed as "the smelliest pile in the gaming cesspool", has appeared !
And it was produced by Yunwei himself!
For a moment, this magical and bizarre reality made Gu Sheng dumbfounded and full of questions.
Explosion!
Shock!
incredible!
Brain crash!
All the speculations and concerns just now were instantly turned into ridiculous self-discussions that disappeared into thin air.
People can't help but sigh that they haven't seen such pure nonsense for a long time. It is not thought through by the brain at all, there is no skill at all, it completely ignores technical limitations, and completely gives up on self-justification. Every word and every sentence is completely out of the instinct of bragging. All operations come from the greedy nature of human beings. This is pure money-making!
What a complete fraud!
Idiots are better than masters, but it's true!
If I hadn’t lived through two lives, I would have been stunned by Yun Wei’s astonishing publicity!
I wonder how they could produce this level of "real machine demonstration trailer" without any technical support!
I was wondering how they could create so many huge and detailed gameplay branches without any accumulation!
It turns out that he is just a good talker and relies on deception!
actually!
With Yunwei's current size, it is not impossible to make such a game if it really wants to.
As the saying goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
As long as Yunwei is willing to calm down and spend energy, time and money to study the gameplay and pursue the technological gap.
Given time, maybe they will be able to produce the true form of "On the Eve of the Disaster".
Maybe one or two years, maybe three to five years.
"No man's sky" can be transformed from a "no man's pit" to a real "no man's sky" that has received rave reviews.
I believe that for a large company like Yunwei, it is not impossible to carefully polish out a masterpiece.
Perhaps the quality of the final game will be inferior to this "fake real machine", but as long as the gameplay and basic quality are there, players' tolerance is sometimes still very high.
but!
It's impossible.
The many investors behind Yunwei's huge scale, as well as its largest financier, Prestige, would not give Yunwei so much time to develop a game with an uncertain future.
A vacuum period of as short as one or two years or as long as three to five years is difficult for Yunwei's huge size to sustain.
The simple phrase "E3 Game Show, Early Access" is enough to sentence this work to death.
"well……"
For a moment, Gu Sheng didn't know what expression to make to face this ridiculous result. He could only shake his head and sigh.
And seeing this!
The little Nezha in his arms was shocked!
Old Gu sighed?
Has the situation gotten this bad?
Does that mean...
My little treasury is going to expand again?!
