What were horror games like in this world before Resident Evil?

This question can probably... or can only be answered with those horror puzzle games of "Yunsheng".

People who have watched or played "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can completely imagine this type of game as the high-definition graphics of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", plus a horror story, and add some puzzles, chases, and scares.

A game with scenes and other elements.

In short, although these types of games have made certain breakthroughs in creative gameplay, from the perspective of the development of the entire new type of game era, they still lack something "new" enough.

The "new" here refers to the kind of "new" that can keep up with the increasingly critical eyes of players.

Although "Yunsheng" has been pursuing innovation in recent days, without the help of predecessors to help develop, their innovation can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of seeing this that "Soral" made a game like "Resident Evil".

"From the perspective of a horror puzzle game, this game has obviously set a new benchmark in this game type, and it has also brought new thinking and creative directions to game producers in this field.

Xu Wennuo rarely spoke seriously about his thoughts to the audience, "From the perspective of us game players, playing such a game is at least a very novel and interesting experience... Well, although

Not all players can accept such an experience.”

[Yeah, yeah, Nuoer is right [nods]]

[In a sense, this seems to be a variant of text adventure games? 】

[Almost, this game can be watched as a movie anyway~]

[Audiences are watching horror movies, and players are immersed in experiencing the life of the protagonists of horror movies? [Dog Head]]

[Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be something wrong with it... This is the only game that I don’t want to play, but I also want to see Noel continue playing and watch the follow-up story~]

【+1, I don’t want to play by myself, I just want to watch Nuoer play.】

[Solar: Are you polite? 】

[Don’t draw conclusions too early. The shooting part of this game hasn’t been exposed yet. What if you feel good after playing it? Don’t regret it then~[ Eat Melon ]]

…

Xu Wennuo saw the last barrage, thought about it for two seconds, and then took the opportunity to lead the topic in this direction.

"As for the shooting part, judging from the overall situation of the trial version, I feel that it should not be the kind of gameplay where you suddenly fight against a group of monsters without thinking, but should keep the players in an atmosphere of tension and fear, using

The kind of gameplay that uses limited resources to deal with powerful monsters.

"Following this logic, the strength of the monsters is estimated to be much higher than that of the players, and then there should be no open terrain in the game. Even if there is a gun battle, it will most likely be a street battle or a tunnel battle... In short, this game

The difficulty of the game may not be too high, but the overall process will probably be very torturous, so it is probably not suitable for the faint of heart.”

[To put it simply, this game may be very hellish...]

[Although it sounds very interesting, I dare not touch it at all! [I feel numb]]

[When the time comes, I’m going to buy two copies of the game to support ‘Solar’, and then I’ll come over and watch Nuoer’s live broadcast.]

[I’d better go through the level online, I don’t want to make myself suffer [spread my hands]]

[So here comes the question, is Noel a brave player or a timid player? 】

[Nuo'er, you won't stop broadcasting, right? You are so brave, you will definitely start broadcasting as soon as the time comes, right? [dog head]]

[I'm already looking forward to Nuoer's screaming slices and funny collection [eating melon seeds]]

[Stop talking, keep talking, Nuoer will have to log out of station B’s account later [dog head]]

"I will broadcast it at 12 noon the day after tomorrow. Don't run away then!" Xu Wennuo said firmly.

With that said, she seemed to want to prove her courage and directly chose to restart the game, "There were still a few puzzles that were not solved just now. Let's try again..."

…

at the same time.

The rest room of the "Firebringer" team studio.

"When the game is officially launched, will players be dissatisfied with the shooting part?" Yu Suai looked at Xu Wennuo's live broadcast and asked with some worry.

Although she knows nothing about shooting games, during the game production process in the past few months, she has already felt how difficult it is to make a 3D action game.

In terms of object collision, feedback, interaction and other issues, just a small detail adjustment may give players a completely different gaming experience.

Not to mention, the action gameplay of "shooting" is a high-level design creativity that has no previous experience to summarize, and you can only rely on your own trial and error.

To do this kind of "fine work" well and satisfy the vast majority of players is as difficult as asking a novice game producer to directly conquer players all over the world with his first game.

"Try it for yourselves, so you can know whether the players will be satisfied?" He Xu glanced at her and then turned his attention to the other three girls.

"Why don't you try it?" Yu Suai squinted at him.

"I tried it but you can't feel it..."

He Jushi smiled and said, "The various feedbacks of shooting games can only be felt when you play them yourself. It is difficult to empathize with others when watching them... It's like playing with guns yourself, and playing with people in movies and TV series.

The gun feels the same."

"It's okay, I just want to watch you play." Yu Suai blinked.

"You want to see me get scared, right?" He Xi said with a smile.

"You know it, why don't you start the game!" Yu Suai pursed her lips tightly, trying not to show a proud and arrogant expression.

"Do you want to see it too?" He Xiu turned his attention to Liu Xiaoji and the others.

"Of course you have to watch it... As the producers of this game, how can we not understand the game we are making!" Liu Xiaoji hugged Lin Jieyu's arm and replied confidently.

"That's what I mean too." Lin Jieyu nodded seriously.

"I'll just join in the fun." Tang Lin chuckled.

"Okay, then I will reluctantly give you a live broadcast." He Zhu stood up and closed the door of the rest room, and drew the curtains on the side, artificially creating a dark environment.

Then, he disconnected the live projection connection and connected his [Editing Resonator] to the projector.

"Or, I can simply transmit the picture to your [Editing Resonator] and you can watch it directly with VR glasses?" He Xiu turned to ask the four girls behind him.

Everyone: "..."

They have realized the seriousness of the problem at this time... What is the difference between this and letting them watch a horror movie?

Do you still need to wear VR glasses?

Do you think they are not cowardly enough and want to increase the intensity of the shock?

"I kind of regret it...why don't we just stop watching it?" Liu Xiaoji asked tentatively.

Everyone was silent for a while.

The girls were still hesitating; He Ji was waiting for them to express their stance.

Five seconds passed and still no one spoke.

"Okay, then I'll assume that you all still want to read it." He Xi turned around and put on the [Editing Resonator].

The four girls looked at each other, their expressions became a little strange.

In fact, if four people get together to watch a "horror movie", they can basically reduce the feeling of terror to a minimum. Even if this game is much scarier than ordinary horror movies, it is not impossible for them to watch it.

But the problem is...

Their goal was to see He Jiu being frightened by the content of the game, not to be frightened by the game himself!

This was not in their plan at all!

The most important thing is that He Jiu looked calm from beginning to end, with no fear of the content of the game in his expression.

This is completely different from what they expected!

It would be fine if He Jiu was frightened by the game content together with them, but if they were the only ones frightened by the game content, He Jiu would have nothing to do...

If four of them fight and one of them can lose, how can they resist oppression in the future?

He Xu, who put on the [Editing Resonator], couldn't help but smile.

If he had been allowed to play this game a few months ago, he might have been suddenly frightened by some of the scary points in it.

But now if I let him play this game, he will probably be able to recite the next move of each character!

This is not only because he made this game with his own hands, but also because he has played this game in his head countless times.

If you watch a "horror movie" over and over again, no matter how scary the scenes are, it will only become a joke in the end.

In addition, He Chu actually searched for many excellent FPS games in his mind in order to debug the shooting feel and shooting details in the game, and also to lay the foundation for making the next game.

The next game of "Firebringer" will be a very special FPS game.

Because it has the true romance of men...

…

He Jiu's live broadcast did not last long, after all, everyone still had classes to attend in the afternoon.

As for the plan of the four girls to see He Jiu get scared...it naturally ended up with the girls getting scared instead.

In the confrontation between the two sides, He Jiu won another round.

The time came to eight o'clock in the evening.

The game anchors invited by He Ji in the name of "Solar" have all tried "Resident Evil" one after another.

Therefore, the popularity of this game in the gaming circle has directly soared to the first place in the current ranking of all games.

The result not only benefits from the popularity and reputation of "Solar" himself, but also benefits from the unique creativity and unique viewing experience of "Resident Evil".

Players all have different opinions on this creative new type of game that is advertised as a shooting game but is actually a survival horror game.

One of the most popular opinions is...

[This is a game suitable for watching anchors play, not for playing by yourself].

There is such a result mainly because this game is too scary and at the same time has too much program effect!

Players all want to see others be scared, but don't want to be scared themselves.

Some players even go back and forth between the live broadcast rooms of various game anchors and their sliced videos, just to appreciate the scene where the anchors are frightened by the game content.

This feeling of watching a normally cheerful anchor suddenly being frightened into incoherent speech and screaming is so wonderful!

He Xu even suspected that this game might be more popular on the Internet than any of his previous games... Of course, the sales volume might not be ideal.

However, he obviously doesn't care about these problems.

——As long as the game becomes popular and many game producers rush to learn and imitate it, then he has succeeded.

‘So, it’s time for foreign game producers to work harder, right?’

He Xu muttered silently in his heart.

Nothing happened, so he switched WeChat to the "Huayao" account.

Xiao An sent him a message in the evening and asked him when he would start making a new game.

Hua Yao: It’s done [blushing]

Xiaoan: [dumb]

Xiao An: Did you finish it quietly?

Xiaoan: Is it another small-scale game like "Slay the Spire" and "Darkest Dungeon"?

Hua Yao: [nods]

Hua Yao: I can only make a game like that on my own, not even a higher level.

Xiao An: Then you can come to our "Jinlin" studio!

Xiao An: As long as you are willing to come over, Ye Jinlin will definitely give you the position of person in charge immediately!

Hua Yao: And then help you develop a large number of new games to compete with "Firebringer"?

Xiao An: You’re not helping us, you’re helping yourself... Don’t you want to make some large-scale games?

Hua Yao: I don’t want to.

Xiaoan: [dumb]

Xiaoan: Are you so unambitious?

Hua Yao: Yes, my ideal has always been to make various small-scale games, don’t you know?

Xiaoan: [speechless]

Xiaoan: You didn't tell me.

Hua Yao: Then you know now.

Xiaoan: [speechless]

Hua Yao: [blushing]

He Ji waited for a while, but when he saw that the other party stopped replying to messages, he guessed that the other party had gone to report the situation to his boss, so he turned around and opened the game producer chat group and looked through what the "students" had been chatting about that day.

Hmm... Actually, there's nothing to talk about. The content of their chat this day basically revolved around "Resident Evil".

However, while players focus on "appreciating the anchors and being frightened", what these game producers really care about is the design and production of shooting games.

They were all speculating on how "Solar" would design the entire shooting gameplay.

He Xu thought for a while, then chuckled and joined the chat.

Hua Yao: Let me make a blind guess too.

[Ah, Sister Hua also wants to study shooting games? 】

[Other new types of games may be okay, but shooting games...does Sister Hua know about firearms? 】

Hua Yao: I don’t know.

Hua Yao: But that doesn’t stop me from making speculations, right?

【emmm...I can’t say.】

【How about forgetting it? It seems quite difficult to guess. 】

[Sister Hua, let’s not join in the fun, right?]

Although they are all convinced of "Huayao"'s strength in producing new types of games.

But let the other party guess how "Soral" will design the shooting gameplay...
