New idea, a special VR game?

Yang Chen's sudden words stunned Brandon for a moment.

"Mr. Yang, what do you mean?" Brandon didn't understand.

"A new team, the team responsible for VR games, will of course be a new IP." Yang Chen said to Brandon.

Having said that, Brandon understood what Yang Chen meant, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited: "Mr. Yang, are you saying that we can form a team alone?"

"Of course, we need to accumulate some VR game technology." Yang Chen nodded and said.

VR will be a very important development direction for games in the future. Yang Chen believes in this, especially the news that the discovery of new materials will reduce the cost of VR equipment, which makes Yang Chen very sure of this.

Otherwise, they would not have had a wave of PY with UEgame in the first place. In order to improve the accumulation of VR technology in Xingyun Games, at the same time, they took a fancy to Brandon and his team and brandished a small hoe to give UEgame, which is currently playing hot, a wave of NTR.

"Of course it won't be a large-scale open world, but an interactive movie game that is more inclined to VCR." Yang Chen said to Brandon.

Creating a large-scale open world directly on the VR platform is really a little risky for them. Their technical capabilities on the VR platform may be able to complete, but they will definitely not be the best.

And in Yang Chen's memory, there are some special themes that are more suitable for the experience of VCR.

"The follow-up GDD will be given to you after completion." Yang Chen looked at Brandon and said.

But upon hearing this, Brandon was a little excited and surprised: "Mr. Yang, aren't you in charge of leading the VR project?"

Shaking his head, Yang Chen said: "Maybe I will pay attention to it, but next on the PC platform, I have a new project, and this does not mean that you really want to create a complete open world, but just interact with the VCR. In the experience, add some content that allows players to feel open."

"New project?" Brandon got a little excited.

"Well, "Monster Hunter", a story about hunting." A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Chen's mouth.

"A hunting story? Is it an open world similar to "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", where players can hunt in forests, mountains, and oceans?" Hearing Yang Chen's words,

The game "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" instantly appeared in Brandon's mind.

"In terms of environment, there is no problem. Forests, wastelands, terraces, valleys, caves, and ice fields will all become hunting places for players in the game. However, in terms of monsters, they are not ordinary tigers and lions, but various dragons. Creatures." The smile on Yang Chen's face grew stronger.

If Wang Ye, who developed "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" and "Dark Soul" with Yang Chen before, was by Yang Chen's side, he would have guessed what kind of game it was.

But Brandon has no idea at all, and is still guessing: "Dragon? Those dragons in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim"? Hunting dragons, a game with a magical theme? Could it be that the players are playing similar games? Dragonborn role?"

"Well, you're right about hunting the dragon, but the magic is the dragon, and the players can only use cold weapons." Yang Chen looked at Brandon and said meaningfully.

Brandon froze.

The magic is the dragon, and the players can only use cold weapons.

Even if Brandon hadn't participated in the development of games such as "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" and "Dark Soul" like Wang Ye and the others, he could still smell something unusual from Yang Chen's words.

It means that the dragon is still the dragon in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", and the players are ordinary people or are they cold weapons?

Is this still a hunting story?

It's the story of a dragon hunting player!

"Monster Hunter", wouldn't it be "Monster Violence"?

But before Brandon continued to speak, Yang Chen changed the topic to other topics.

"In terms of VR, the main thing is to do a big demo in the early stage. In addition, the new VR project will involve a big city. For the model, take New York as an example. Of course, in the current VR project, these big cities It is more inclined to the existence of stickers, but we need to make it a real existence, because there will be a lot of plots happening in this city." Yang Chen turned to Brandon and turned the topic back to the VR project.

For this VR project, Yang Chen didn't expect to launch it soon, but it would take a long time to accumulate, not only for the team's development, but also for the popularization of the equipment.

On this point, Yang Chen believes that those VR manufacturers should be the most anxious.

Billions and tens of billions have been invested in the field of VR. For such a long time, it has not been fully rolled out. You must know that even if the food delivery industry burns money and burns billions, tens of billions, it has opened up the market anyway. , Just wait until the opponent is boiled to death and then cut the leeks.

"Understood, Mr. Yang, but what kind of game will our VR project be?" Brandon was still a little curious about this.

Although Yang Chen didn't hand over the GDD to him, from the few words Yang Chen revealed, he was able to analyze some of them based on his own professional ability.

Games with modern themes, and should be biased towards interactive movies with strong immersive plot games, and secondly, this may also be a very large project.

Because in it Yang Chen mentioned building a big city, and he said that he prefers textures, but he didn't let them do it directly with textures.

This shows that they need to carry out the modeling and construction of the entire city, and apply the material of the subsequent game. Otherwise, simply using texture effects can not only save costs, but also improve the effect of the game.

In terms of realism, players may think that real modeling may be more realistic.

But the actual situation is just the opposite. When the player cannot go to those places to observe closely, the effect brought by the texture is better.

"Subject?" Hearing Brandon's words, Yang Chen smiled.

"Genius, philanthropist, playboy, millionaire... More accurately, it should be a story about the birth of a superhero."

Superhero, Iron Man.

When deciding on the VR project, Yang Chen actually considered many games in the dream memory, but combined with the feedback from the VR versions of "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Resident Evil 5", and the fact that these two The effect of the game presented in VR.

In the end, Yang Chen focused on a subject: superheroes.

At the same time, in the superhero camp, Yang Chen set his final sights on the story of Iron Man.

In the world comics of dream memories, this is actually a second- and third-tier character, but it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that the setting of this role is very good.

A genius, a philanthropist, a playboy, and the ability to make money. In terms of financial resources, there is probably only another Batman called the Lord who can compete with him. However, compared to the story of Iron Man, Batman's story is obviously more depressing. Much heavier.

In the highly immersive VR experience, for players, playing the role of Iron Man, who is in the limelight, is obviously more exciting than Batman hiding in the darkness of Gotham City.

The second is the linkage of games, such as Nebula Games' "Red Alert: World War" series, "Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain" and "Assassin's Creed" and the follow-up "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare". Yang Chen added many small easter eggs.

And these little easter eggs have been dug out by the players with great powers, and everyone is discussing on the Internet whether there is any deeper experience in these games besides the background.

Compared with the current VR game development technology inside Nebula Games, it is very capable of presenting a lifelike open world game to players, but it prefers an interactive story experience, which is not difficult in Yang Chen's view.

The only difficulty is how to tell the story to the players in the game.
