Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 65

  Chapter 65 Is this the second-generation FPS? ! (plus more)

  Wow! !

   In a few days!

  When Gu Sheng dumped a bag of toy guns on the conference table, both Lu Bian and Da Jiang were stunned!

"This is…"

   Lu Bian picked up a pistol that slid in front of him, with a confused expression on his face.

   "Glock 22, equipped with .40s&w pistol ammunition, 15 rounds of magazines, suitable for close quarters combat, now generally equipped with the US police, for displaying American Iai."

  Gu Sheng's introduction was methodical and full of confidence, just like Robert Towne Jr. at the Stark Industries press conference.

   "I'm not asking this..."

  The forehead is supported by the land, with black lines all over the head:

   “I mean, what are these toy guns for.”

   "Playing games,"

   While talking, Gu Sheng picked up an AR15, put it on his shoulder, and made a gun gesture:

   "Use this perspective to make games."

  Hearing the sound, Lu Bian looked at Gu Sheng, and saw that Gu Sheng was aiming at him through the rear sight above the gun.

   "This perspective?"

  Seeing Gu Sheng's appearance, Lu Bian frowned slightly:

   "Do you mean to add a gun raising animation on the basis of the virtual front sight? It's not necessary."

   "No, no virtual crosshairs,"

  Gu Sheng shook his head, put down the gun and patted the guide rail:

   "Just rely on this to aim."

"What?!"

  When this remark came out, both Lu Bian and Dajiang were shocked!

  The two of them were a little unbelievable.

To know!

   For a long time, shooting games and virtual crosshairs complement each other.

  In terms of the setting of "raising the gun to shoot", other games are at best adding an animation of raising the gun as Lu Bian just said.

   But no one has ever mentioned the setting of 'cancelling the virtual front sight'!

   "This... is a bit cumbersome, isn't it?"

   While talking, Lu Bian pulled out an AK casually, and assumed a hip shooting posture:

   "The angle of view is so wide. After so many years of market testing, the virtual front sight has already proved that it is the most convenient and fast way to aim."

   Beside him, Da Jiang also nodded in agreement and said:

   "Yes, even if it is a motion sensor cabin game, we design it like other manufacturers, isn't it more secure?"

  Gu Sheng has played other manufacturers' somatosensory pod shooting games.

  He knows that the shooting mode of the FPS in the somatosensory cabin is similar to those of the somatosensory interactive game consoles in the video game city.

  The virtual front sight on the screen will move with the muzzle of the gun, pointing and hitting, the principle is similar to that of a laser pointer.

   That's not what Gu Sheng wanted.

  That is not the second generation FPS either.

  In fact, originally, as the game director, he could directly order at this time, let Dajiang and Lu Bian put away their doubts, and just follow his settings and it's over.

   One reason is that the position is here, and the other reason is that he has always been the backbone among the three of them.

  Even if he made a decision today and made a promise, the two brothers would not complain.

but!

  Gu Sheng knows.

   Compared with the first-generation FPS, the second-generation FPS has one of the biggest difficulties in production!

   That is the mysterious "feel adjustment"!

   This kind of thing cannot be measured by data at all. It will be reflected in multiple dimensions such as fluency, sensitivity, strike feeling, and shooting feedback.

  In the somatosensory cabin, they must conform to the ergonomics to the greatest extent, and find the balance between simulation and gameplay!

   These things can only be understood but not expressed in words.

   That's why Gu Sheng specially purchased these simulated firearm models, so that Lu Bian and Dajiang can actually experience what the second-generation FPS should feel like!

  Because only by experiencing the overall feeling of the second-generation FPS first-hand, they can make this feeling well!

   "Come on, feel it and you'll know,"

   While talking, Gu Sheng randomly picked out an AK and pushed it to Lu Bian from the table:

   "These models are all equipped with motors, which can simulate recoil to a certain extent,"

   "After a while, Dajiang starts shouting, and I will charge at you from the front of the conference room with a knife,"

   "You use the laser pointer as a virtual sight, and pull the bolt to kill me."

"good."

  Hearing this, Lu Bian nodded and stood up, walked to the end of the meeting room with the AK in his hand, lowered his gun, and nodded:

"I'm ready."

  At this moment, Gu Sheng was already standing at the front of the conference room, holding a plastic imitation military thorn, and raised his hand to signal: "I'm ready too."

   Dajiang stood aside and slowly raised his hand: "Three! Two! One! Start!"

  Follow Oe's hand and fall!

   Just listen to Gu Sheng's shout!

   "Bageya Road—Xinai!!"

   Raise the knife and kill towards the land!

"Grass!!"

  As if the blood in the body produced a conditioned reflex, Lu Bian was surprised at the outrageous charge slogan of Lao Gu, but without the slightest hesitation, pointed the laser pointer at Gu Sheng and pulled the trigger!

Da da d

   Plop.

   Gu Sheng pretended to be hit, lowered his body and slid and knelt in the living room, and fell to the ground.

   "This is traditional virtual crosshair shooting,"

   Being pulled up by Lu Bian, Gu Sheng asked:

"how do you feel?"

"Feel…"

  Lu Bian scratched his head:

   "I feel that the three generations of your ancestors should be strictly investigated, you don't act like..."

   "Did I **** ask you that?"

  Gu Sheng was so angry that he kicked Lu Bian:

   "I'm asking about the shooting experience!"

"oh oh,"

   Lu Bian grinned:

   "The shooting experience... just no experience, almost the same as the general feeling of shooting games in the somatosensory cabin."

   "OK, let's do it again then,"

   While talking, Gu Sheng pointed to the gun in Lu Bian's hand:

   "This time, you need to turn off the laser pointer and use the machine sight to aim."

"OK,"

   Lu Bian nodded, he was also curious, what kind of experience is it like to shoot with a machine sight in the first-person perspective:

   "Then come on."

  Here, the three returned to their positions, and Da Jiang raised his hand again: "Get ready—"

"start!!"

   Following Da Jiang's order!

   Gu Sheng's little day charge howl sounded again!

  And this time, in the face of Gu Sheng who rushed madly, Lu Bian chose to shoot with a gun!

   Click!

  As the shoulder rest rested on his shoulders, Lu Bian felt that his field of vision suddenly narrowed!

   Instantly!

  Everything around has turned into virtual focus, and the most real focus in front of my eyes is Gu Sheng who is running wildly!

   Even, due to the limited field of vision, Gu Sheng's speed is extremely fast!

  At the same time, the threat and impact seem to be several times stronger!

   Lu Bian suddenly panicked!

   Almost subconsciously pulled the trigger!

   da da da da—! !

  The recoil simulated by the motor of the gun body makes the rear sight in front of Lu Bian jump, and the shooting feedback effect is infinitely enlarged at this moment!

  Although I know this is acting, it can even be said that the three brothers are playing around!

but!

   What Lu Bian had to admit was—

   This kind of impact and realistic feedback really gave him goosebumps!

   "Wo...day..."

   Is this the second generation FPS? !

this moment!

  Lu Bian understood exactly what Lao Gu wanted to feel!

   He never expected it!

  The two shooting methods seem to have little difference, but the contrast is so strong in the first-person perspective!

   Just a random gesture, the difference in perception is so strong!

   What about adding muzzle flash effects, projectile spread effects, blood splash effects, ragdoll systems, etc.?

   Lu Bian simply cannot imagine how much the visual impact will be!

not to mention!

   What Lao Gu wants to do is a zombie-themed game!

and!

  Changed from the slow and dumb image of zombies in zombie-themed games in the past.

   This time, they want to upgrade the zombies!

   Let the zombies move quickly and form groups, just like the group of humanoid monsters in "Fukuyama Journey"!

God knows!

  When their "Left 4 Dead" lands in the somatosensory cabin, what kind of burst effect will it show!

   "How is it? Feel it?"

  Gu Sheng, who was lying on the ground, saw that Lu Bian did not respond for a long time, and knew that he must have realized the essence of the second-generation FPS mode:

   "Is it quite different from the virtual front sight?"

   "Fuck...it's just..."

  Lu Bian reached out and pulled Gu Sheng up from the ground, his face full of shock:

   "Not only is it not small, it is simply a world of difference!"

   "At first, I thought the difference between the two shooting modes was only reflected in the aiming,"

   "Even, the 'second-generation FPS' you mentioned is not as convenient as a virtual front sight hip-fire because of the extra gun action,"

   "But in reality, far from it,"

   "Recoil feel, shooting feel, target impact, and even field of view optimization...it is a multi-faceted overall improvement!"

   "Old Gu,"

   While talking, Lu Bian looked at Gu Sheng, his eyes twinkled brightly:

   "Maybe, you are going to bring about a big change in the game circle again this time!"

   Lu Bian is not exaggerating at all.

   Such a mode upgrade is no less than the influence of phobia on the horror game genre!

even!

  Because the shooting game market is far wider than the horror game market, the impact of the second-generation FPS on the entire game industry is more profound than the fear of ghosts!

"well…"

   Speaking of this, Lu Bian sighed again:

   "It's a pity that the game mode cannot be patented, otherwise the patent money for this technological innovation alone is enough for us to eat for a lifetime."

   "Why do you think so much?"

  Hearing this, Gu Sheng patted Lu Bian on the shoulder:

   "I have more work than that, don't worry, don't talk about eating for a lifetime, follow me and let you eat for three lifetimes."

   "I even feel that if this game is done well, it will be enough for our golden wind to eat for a lifetime..."

   Lu Bian grinned, horrified at the final quality of the game.

  Seeing that the landing side has been skeptical at the beginning, but now it is completely convinced and full of praise.

   Dajiang, who was always beside him, couldn't help raising his hand: "Report! Brother Sheng! I want to play too!"

  Gu Sheng knows that this difference in first-person experience can only be understood after the first-person experience.

  So he waved his hand: "I can't play anymore, my knee hurts from sliding and kneeling in the living room, let me do it."

   After finishing speaking, Gu Sheng gave Lu Bian a look of responsibility:

   "Come on, you two study hard, Dajiang is our main beauty, we are the first to create this thing, we must let him experience it deeply!"

   "Okay, leave it to me!"

   Lu Bian nodded, and took the plastic dagger from Gu Sheng's hand.

  Gu Sheng just stepped out of the meeting room, when he heard Lu Bian's arrogant voice behind him:

   "Hey, old horse Xibaer—!!"

   Bian'er has a bit of talent in recruiting people...

  Gu Sheng shook his head and smiled, then turned around and closed the door of the conference room.

   Just out of the conference room!

  He met Shen Miaomiao who was holding snacks head-on.

  In the corridor, the two looked at each other, and then, Shen Miaomiao cast her suspicious eyes on the conference room.

  In the conference room, Lu Bian and Da Jiang's voices came out, and the Chinese was mixed with bad Bangzi words.

"You are…"

  Shen Miaomiao pointed to the meeting room:

   "Study a foreign language?"

   "emmmmmmm..."

  Gu Sheng shrugged his shoulders, a bit at a loss as to how to explain to little Nezha:

   "We are working on a project...."

   You are a liar! !

  Shen Miaomiao secretly rolled her eyes.

  Your lie is more nonsense than my saying that watching movies for inspiration!

but!

  Shen Miaomiao did not expose it.

   Let's play!

  She wished that Gu Sheng and the others would not do their jobs every day!

   Otherwise, how could the project fail, and where would her rebate come from if it didn't fail!

"Um…"

  Shen Miaomiao nodded, and looked at the chattering meeting room again:

   "I'm very creative!"

   It's too much to boast about.

   After finishing speaking, Shen Miaomiao no longer wondered what strange ceremony was being held in the conference room, and distributed the bag of potato chips in her arms to Gu Sheng:

   "Do you want to eat potato chips?"

"eat,"

  Gu Sheng took the potato chips and raised his hand:

   "By the way, let me tell you about the investment in this game."

  Shen Miaomiao likes to hear this!

  Nodding immediately, the two arrived at the president's office one after the other.

   "How much does it cost to prepare?"

  The two sat down, Shen Miaomiao tore open the bag of potato chips, and cut straight to the point.

   Gu Sheng estimated in his heart:

   "The follow-up cost is still in the estimation stage for the time being, and I only have the approximate investment amount for the promotional film."

   "How much?" Shen Miaomiao picked up the potato chips and put them in her mouth.

   Gu Sheng stretched out a finger.

   "One hundred thousand?"

  Shen Miaomiao frowned.

   It's a little less.

   You must know that she and Gu Sheng starred in the promotional video of the game called Phobia. There was no special rendering effect at all, and it cost about 100,000 yuan.

   Is it possible that Lao Gu will take the comedian route this time and continue to use the form of live-action trailers?

  However, before she proposed to add money.

   Just heard Gu Sheng say: "One million."

   Whoo!

  Although Shen Miaomiao wished that Gu Sheng would spend more money, she still couldn't help being surprised when she heard this number.

one million!

  A promotional video!

To know!

  The total investment for the fear of ghosts is only two million!

  Nowadays, a promotional video for this new project costs half the cost of ghostphobia? !

and!

  As far as she knows, a promotional video for a game is only about three minutes long at best!

   One million in three minutes!

   This is simply burning money!

  The most important thing is that Gu Sheng's words made Shen Miaomiao's self-confidence shake!

  She wants to burn money.

   But the premise is that she has enough money to burn!

  Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao licked her lips, and asked hesitantly: "The promotional video costs one million...then the final cost of the game will probably be...?"

   For the first time, Shen Miaomiao felt panic.

  Seeing that Gu Sheng hesitated for a moment, he seemed to be calculating a little, and asked:

   "How many do we have?"

  Shen Miaomiao shrank her neck: "How much do you want?"

  Gu Sheng grinned:

   "According to the current settings, if you want to make the game perfect—"

   "I want as much as I have."

  PS: Add more updates today! Twelve thousand in total! I beg all the readers to vote for a precious monthly ticket for the younger brother! In the future, under the premise of ensuring the quality, we will add more updates for everyone! Thanks! !
