Chapter 307 Unless We Make a Resident Evil Game
Seeing this scene, I can feel it even more.
This is definitely not a game that Lucas can make!
"Neighbors" is really good, and this goodness is reflected in the level design and creativity.
But if you want to say whether there are any problems, there are many problems, but many tricks are used, and players sometimes don't notice it.
For example, the picture, when the player is chased by the perverted killer, it usually happens in some relatively fixed locations.
These places are relatively dim, and the modeling accuracy is very low, but the players have no time to notice it.
Another example is optimization.
The game "Neighbors" is locked at 30 frames!
Even so, there will be occasional instability.
And the picture style is the U4 engine that is more popular on the market.
Look at this unknown mysterious game in front of you now.
This amazing modeling accuracy, this photo-level picture quality.
As an industry insider, I always feel that this game has a familiar taste, the kind of taste that I often come into contact with and like very much.
Just from the beginning, I can feel that this will be a game of excellent quality.
But what exactly is it?
I just can't remember it.
In the screen, after the protagonist controlled by the player stood up, a few words popped up in front of him.
Goal: Escape the room.
Then, the game officially started, and a countdown appeared in the corner of the screen.
Because it was a trial at the exhibition, the time was limited.
The time limit was that each person had a maximum of 12 minutes, or one ending was completed, which was considered a successful challenge.
After the challenge was successful, you will get a CDK, which can be activated on the Origin platform after the name of the game is fully revealed.
I didn't dare to waste time, so I hurried to continue playing.
I first looked at the interactive props in the room.
An old cathode ray tube TV with a video recorder on it.
An electrical box with a fuse missing in the electrical box.
In addition, there were several photo frames and photos, with a kind-looking woman and a somewhat Mediterranean but strong man.
He looked like the owner of this house.
"Or, the previous owner? This protagonist should be those young people in horror movies who are desperate to go to haunted houses to explore and don't know whether they live or die."
Since I didn't have any props on me, I could only walk out of this room.
Push the door and go to the corridor.
Seeing the scene outside, Jeff hesitated subconsciously.
This scene, the sense of déjà vu is too strong.
Dark and cramped, narrow corridor, limited vision, never know what will appear at the next corner.
If it weren't for the countdown time that destroyed the immersion of VR, I might have to muster up courage every time I turned a corner.
In the small room under the stairs, there are many things that look ominous, one after another straw dolls, hanging from the ceiling by ropes.
Walk out of the storage room and go to the kitchen.
The feeling of uneasiness in my heart is even worse.
In the microwave, there is a crow with a charred body and blood all over its body.
In the refrigerator, countless maggots are crawling on the rotten meat.
Looking at the table again, there is rotten food that I don't know what it is.
It's a mess everywhere.
The double baptism of first-person perspective plus VR, I know I won't smell anything, but I just feel a rotten smell lingering around me.
"Damn it."
Jeff cursed inwardly, and his heart was already a little scared.
The sense of substitution is too strong.
I have been reminding myself repeatedly that this is fake, this is fake!
But it is useless.
I walked to the side of the table, where there was a big pot with a lid on it.
The moment I reached out to open it.
Many palm-sized cockroaches crawled out of it, and there was a dark yellow disgusting liquid and many sticky and disgusting things inside.
After putting down the lid of the pot, a cockroach was lying on the palm of my hand!
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something, but my palm is a little itchy.
And looking at the cockroach again, it seems to be reflecting light, and how many legs it has can be seen clearly.
"Fuck!!"
Jeff's scalp tingled, and he couldn't help cursing.
Obviously, all the players present were at about the same progress.
After he cursed, many people started to curse one after another, and it seemed that they were disgusting.
Walking to the outermost side, there were many rotten animals, and flies were flying in the sky.
But he also got a key prop, the wire cutters.
"This stuff, Leon is good at it."
After complaining, he took the props, turned back to cut the iron chain on the cabinet, and got a new prop videotape.
On the way back to the room, I thought there would be some scary things, but it was surprisingly quiet.
Some small movements occasionally made people startled, but they were not scared.
But
Jeff hoped that something would jump out.
This depressing atmosphere might as well be shouted out!
He returned to the previous room and put the videotape into the video recorder.
The screen changed.
The person controlled by Jeff became the person holding the head-mounted camera in the screen.
A group of three people, don't say it, they really came to explore this legendary haunted farm.
"A self-media blogger who is looking for death?" Jeff complained, and then sighed at the cleverness of the videotape setting.
You can reuse materials, have more game time, and reveal some game content from another perspective.
For example, at this time, in the chat content of several people, you can hear some stories about the background of the game.
Jeff complained in his heart.
"A family from Baker Farm? Jack, Margaret? The abnormal son Lucas? Good guy, the producer has joined the game?"
"Louisiana? This place name, what game was the main stage to be placed here before?"
It's just that the trio did not expect that something unexpected happened.
One of the members, Andre, disappeared inexplicably.
I searched all the way and found the room I found.
Finally found some surprising clues.
Under the fireplace of the Baker family, you can see a pull ring when you squat down!
After pulling the pull ring, a wooden board on the wall next to it retracted, and a road appeared!
"Good design."
He praised in his heart.
At this time, the two-person team in the game, except Andre who had disappeared, was a little scared.
"After finding Andre, leave this damn place immediately!"
This house is different from other haunted houses.
There is really something wrong with this house!
Enter the secret passage and follow the ladder to the cellar below.
The feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.
Jeff can already feel his heart pounding.
After coming down, he saw the person he was looking for.
Andre stood there with his back to him.
Jeff walked forward step by step, subconsciously wanting to reach out and pat his shoulder.
At the same time, the hair on his body had stood up, and goose bumps were about to fall to the ground.
But before he could pat his hand, Andre in front of him fell down directly.
You can see that an iron hook covered with rust and blood was pulled out of his mouth, and the whole person fell down powerlessly, falling on Jeff's body.
Bleeding from all seven orifices, his eyes seemed to melt, and sticky blood oozed out of his eye sockets, as if he was dying with his eyes open, as if asking Jeff for help.
Next to the body, you can still see a pair of legs walking towards here, but I don't know who it is.
At this point, after suppressing it for more than ten minutes, I couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Ahhhhhh!!! Fuck! Wardfah!!!"
This part of the game is very simple, and it's hard to create a big gap between players.
Many people have also reached this part.
There was the first scream, and then there was the second scream.
Then there were screams all over the place!
One after another.
Jeff's heart was pounding.
The video tape in front of him had ended, and there was a snow pattern in front of him, and the perspective returned to the room where he woke up again.
But he had no intention of continuing to advance the game.
He felt weak all over, and he wanted to sit down and rest for a while.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Jeff wanted to curse, but he didn't know who to curse.
Should he curse this VR device for being too good or the game for being too immersive?
This game is definitely not something that Lucas can make.
He is a good game designer, but not to this extent.
This is a work that can only be produced by a game team of a certain size.
After half a minute of pause, the countdown has ended.
The staff began to remove the equipment.
Jeff only felt his embarrassment at this moment.
He could feel a wave of dampness on his back, his legs were a little weak, and his face was pale if nothing unexpected happened.
He thought he was already in a bad enough state, but he looked around.
Others were not much better.
Some people even needed the help of staff to walk out.
He took off his glasses and walked off the omnidirectional treadmill, feeling as if he was in another world.
It seemed that he had not just played a game, but had really experienced a life-and-death adventure.
However, some people were excited to get the cards with CDK written on them.
Can I pass the game in such a short time and for the first time?
It is not impossible, but it is probably a bit difficult.
These people should be queuing up for the second time, so they were not as scared as other players.
After refusing the help of the staff next to him, he looked back with sympathy at the new players who walked into the trial venue with great interest.
He walked out of the trial venue with trembling legs.
Then he found a corner and sat down directly, panting.
Around him, there were many players who had just finished the trial play. They were both scared and excited, and they were discussing the series in the game.
"So, can we not watch the video tape next time and just pull the mechanism directly?"
"There is a key in the secret door, but if you open the door and walk out, you will meet Jack, and it shows a bad ending."
"I heard them say that there is a fuse in the secret door, and there should be other endings."
"There is quite a lot of game content in a demo?"
"I have to queue up again! This game is so interesting!"
Jeff nodded secretly.
This trial play is really worth it!
Just thinking about whether to rush back and write an article immediately.
Then he saw the person who was even worse than him, the staff helped him out and sat next to him - the BGN game media reporter who he met before queuing.
The two looked at each other, both of their old faces blushed, pretending not to know each other and looking around.
Jeff recovered faster and stood up first.
I don’t want to continue browsing.
This report must be published before others!
A high-quality mysterious game, what a good gimmick?
In order to report the content as much as possible, I also left the contact information of many players.
We agreed to contact him once there is any new content.
It will be popular.
This is really popular.
Thinking of this, I stood up and walked out.
When I passed the queue, I found that there were more people in the queue than before.
Looking at the EA booth again, the number of players is not much different from this side.
It’s really strange.
On the main stage of the E4 exhibition, many game trailers are released every day, and many new games are announced every day.
I thought the name of this mysterious game would be announced on the first day.
But unexpectedly, it was not.
The same thing happened on the second day, and the suspense continued.
Until the last day.
This day is the most anticipated day.
It is when the world’s top manufacturers announce new works and release new trailers and new content.
This makes countless people stunned.
Doesn't this mean that this mysterious game is at the level of a top-tier company?
Others were curious, but Arnold was really a little upset.
"Lucas's crappy game was announced after our game?! What a joke! Why did they only notify us today! Who can cut in my way?!" Arnold was shocked and angry, "Damn it, what right did he have? Isn't he afraid of offending EA!"
For game releases, E4 also follows a principle.
The more important the game, the later it will be.
Among the top manufacturers, it is generally not a big deal who comes first and who comes later.
Everyone has a big year, and everyone has a relatively mediocre year.
But all EA's products are after that mysterious horror game?
It's almost like saying that EA's products are not good enough.
The staff responsible for contacting E4 also felt a little incredible and replied: "I even said that if Lucas's crappy game must be adjusted after our EA, I will consider refusing to log in to E4 to release games in the future."
"Then what?"
"Then, it was still rejected."
Arnold frowned.
Would rather offend EA than adjust the release order?
When did Lucas have such great magic? Is he hanging around someone big?
How big is this?
If someone else's game cut in line, it wouldn't matter.
But this Lucas slapped EA and WGA in the face at the awards ceremony.
He poached most of Lucas's team, and the new horror game that is going to be announced today will be released on the same day as Lucas's game.
All this is for targeting, with a sense of revenge.
By the way, warn many small studios.
You can scold me and slander me, you can be unhappy with me, but don't make trouble for me.
The game crash is a matter of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred.
I can afford the loss of EA, but can you small workshops afford the loss?
But this way, the warning effect is greatly reduced.
"Damn Lucas, damn E4!" Arnold cursed angrily, "I want to see what big brother you are clinging to, what game is worthy of your protection!"
The lackey next to him quickly echoed: "It is definitely not as good as ours, nothing is worse than ours. Unless Lucas can make a "Resident Evil"."
But, how is it possible?
Everyone added in their hearts. (End of this chapter)
