Advanced Players in Arc

Sun Hao took off the helmet on his head, looked at the old god Dong Chen sitting next to him, and asked with some disbelief, "You really finished it, it only took two weeks. You are too fast, can't you?" Is it just a beginning?"

Dong Chen, who had been playing games on his laptop, stopped playing when he saw that Sun Hao's trial was over. Hearing what he said, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You've already played the game, don't you believe it? Have you done it?" That’s it, don’t you know it after you finish the game?”

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that you made this game too fast. People make games in terms of years. You finished it in two weeks. No technology can be so fast, right?" Sun Hao put on his helmet Putting it aside, he still said in disbelief.

"Hi," Dong Chen waved his hands indifferently, "That's because you know nothing about the real power of technology."

"A great man said that "technology is the primary productive force" is absolutely correct. Others can't do it because they don't have the technology."

"Don't ask about the specifics. The game is already in front of you anyway. Just tell me what you think of the game, right?"

Hearing Dong Chen's words, Sun Hao stopped asking any more questions. He patted the helmet next to him and said, "With this helmet as a bonus, I am quite confident in your game. I am not personally interested in games." It’s big, but I’ve seen other people play the game too.”

"The graphics of your game are really good. Even if you don't play the game, I think it's worth watching it as a movie. Your graphics are comparable to those of 3D animated movies, especially the cutscenes, the fighting, lines, and music. , the scene looks majestic, and it really feels like watching a blockbuster movie. And there is no lag at all. I don’t know if it’s because our hardware is better or because your game is better optimized.”

"Of course I've done a good job on the game," Dong Chen was still very confident about this, but he turned to say in a slightly disgusting tone, "But it's really a waste of time to ask you to do a game review. I can't give you any advice, just Saying it is like watching a movie."

Sun Hao spread his hands and said helplessly, "You have found the wrong person. If you ask me how to sell this game, I can definitely tell you ten plans. But if you ask me how this game is, I can only I can talk about how it feels to watch it as a movie.”

"It must be sold," Dong Chen said, pushing the laptop to Sun Hao. "I just played with your laptop. Your laptop is not bad. It can open mid-level special effects. The picture is better than those of masterpieces." The special effects are also much higher, and the gameplay is very smooth. I can’t boast about the playability, but it is not inferior to those masterpieces, and it can definitely compete with them.”

"That's for sure. It's a pity that this game is only available on the helmet platform. It must make more money to fully show its value." Sun Hao looked at the screen on the laptop and agreed, "This is what I'm good at. That’s it.”

"Okay, then you can get on with your work. I have to quickly find some professionals to review my game. The people in the company have probably played the pirated version of "Girls' Scroll" for almost all time. Your original plan was for February Will we start a small-scale public user test of the helmet on the 7th?" Dong Chen asked.

"Yes, it will be seven days later. During this time, we have started to contact testers, including people from the Ministry of Education, some students, some famous gamers, some game video authors, and some customers who have bought our products before. We have all sent out invitations. We will buy tickets for them at that time, and then they will be sent directly to Arc Light Technology for testing." After hearing Dong Chen's question, Sun Hao also talked about some recent events.

"Okay, you're busy, I'm going to find someone from the technology company. By the way, when you have time, you can play games and relax. I asked them to send you this helmet, which is not just for you to use for a short time. Yes, it has been scientifically proven that playing games appropriately can relieve emotions.”

After saying that, Dong Chen left neatly, leaving Sun Hao helplessly shaking his head, "You kid plays Xiao Xiao unrestrainedly every day, who can be like you every day.".

………………

Dong Chen was sitting in front of his workbench, and now the screen wall was all open. Inside was the same laboratory where the last video conference was held before New Year's Day for helmet testing.

However, there are no longer only the two helmet test positions at the beginning, but have increased to 20. Among them, 10 test positions are already occupied by people. They are people from the helmet research and development department. They are now studying As they talked, they kept looking at the 20 helmets.

After a while, the director of the game department came in with 10 people. They were the planners and original painting designers of "The Great War". After saying hello to Dong Chen, the 10 people from the game department sat at the testing seats.

After the people in the game department were seated, Dong Chen said, "Okay, everyone is here. We have limited time and we will start right away. Especially those in the game department, pay attention to the evaluation to see if the game has insulted you." Design, I dare say this game is definitely the most sincere stand-alone game in recent years."

"The game has been remotely installed on the helmet, let's get started."

After receiving the instructions from Dong Chen's big boss, the testers over there also put the helmet on their heads with puzzled expressions. The other monitoring personnel also took their positions. The moment the helmet was started, the 20 display screens connected to the helmet screen also appeared. It lights up. Although the display does not have the microwave bonus effect, you can still see something.

As the 20 testers entered the game, the testing laboratory seemed to have become the shock department of a certain company, and one after another expressed shock.

When they first entered the game, there was a cutscene. They thought it was a common CG animation. The picture quality was quite good. At first glance, they could tell that they spent a lot of money. However, they all expressed their calmness. At most, they felt that this beginning It's very beautiful and has a grand scene from the prehistoric times.

The reason why I am calm is because this kind of setting is very common, and there are many games where the CG at the beginning is good but the game is terrible.

Just like the first time I saw the "Ten Thousand Demons Gathering" promotional video of "A Certain God of War" many years ago, the first time I saw this kind of CG animation of ancient myths with a slightly darker Chinese style, it was really shocking.

But after the game was launched, it was really... as great as the hope was, the disappointment was even greater.

This is no longer a new trick in China. There is nothing wrong with using the words that ridicule foreign game developers of "making CG with their heart and making games with their feet" here.

Some people even say that when playing games, just play games and don’t look at those promotional CGs, because they are all fake. The more you look at them, the more disappointed you will be with the game.

Although with the continuous advancement of technology, the real picture of the game is getting better and better, and the gap between the real picture of the game and the promotional CG is getting smaller and smaller, the gap is still very obvious.

Racing games are the best in this regard, that is, the gap between their real pictures and promotional animations is the smallest. Those complex role-playing or action games will have to wait.

Some manufacturers have started to be lazy and don’t even spend money to produce CG promotional videos. They just use real-time calculations with good-quality real game pictures. This not only saves money, but also breaks the huge difference between game CG and real pictures. difference.

Now the promotional images are the same as the real images, so there is no gap.
