Thinking about it this way, what Mr. Pei said is quite reasonable.

All the successful projects in the past have indeed not succeeded by 'seeking stability'.

In fact, whether it is Tengda Games or Yuyang Games, every time the game is made a sword and takes a great risk, but every time it is a great success.

On the other hand, those game companies outside that blindly seek stability often sell old games as new games by repairing and replacing them with art resources, blindly seeking stability and making money, but the response is often mediocre and the sales are bleak.

Because seeking stability is a kind of standing still.

At a time when other game manufacturers are seeking innovation and change, seeking stability is equivalent to falling behind others, and the successful experience of the past will quickly fall behind.

Lin Chang was also in awe, although he didn't know much about the game industry, but Mr. Pei's words seemed to contain a profound philosophy.

"Then what do you mean, Mr. Pei?" Lin Chang asked.

Pei Qian coughed lightly twice and said: "In my opinion, the more new the company, the more enterprising and bold innovation. ”

"If the new company wants to stick to the old ways and copy the previous successful experience at the beginning of its establishment, it will not have the courage to innovate in the future, and will only deviate more and more on the road of 'mixing'."

"So, whether it's in Yuyang Games or Chixing Studio, how to design or how to design, forget the fact that you are in a new company."

"It's still the same as before, decide on the type of game first, step by step."

Lin Wan nodded: "Well, in this case, there are actually only a few directions to choose from." Since we don't make mobile games, we only have stand-alone games and online games on the computer side. ”

"If you want to challenge yourself according to Mr. Pei, you must strive to make a stand-alone game similar to "Turning Back", "Struggle", and "Mission and Choice".

Pei Qian pondered for a moment: "Are there really only these few roads to go?" Think again? ”

It's good that Lin Wan doesn't give an example, but this example evokes Pei Qian's sad past.

Each of these three single-player games has a greater investment than the other, but also one earns more than the other.

Although it was not enough to prove that this was a failed path, Pei Qian did not want to go through it again in a short period of time.

So, we have to find another way to go.

Lin Wan showed a very confused expression: "Huh? But that's all there is to the game type, the computer side is nothing more than two categories: stand-alone and online games, and mobile games ......"

Pei Qian prompted: "Haven't you heard of it recently...... VR games? ”

Lin Chang and Lin Wan were stunned and glanced at each other: "VR games? ”

Lin Wan hesitated for a moment and then said, "I've heard it, but ...... This kind of game is still just a concept, right? Except for some foreign manufacturers who have made individual exploratory and conceptual VR games, no one is doing it at all......"

Lin Chang looked dazed, silently took out his mobile phone to search for the keyword "VR game".

Last night, Pei Qian had searched for some relevant information on the Internet and learned some content about the development of VR technology in this world.

Generally speaking, the VR technology in this world is a year or two faster than he remembers, and compared with the development of mobile phone technology in this world, VR technology is actually relatively slow.

One of the more critical nodes about VR technology is the birth of the first modern VR glasses device, in Pei Qian's memory, it should be the Oculus Rift, which originally came out in 2012, which is a VR glasses device made by crowdfunding 2.5 million dollars, and since this year, the public's interest in VR has gradually been ignited.

According to the development in Pei Qian's impression, it was not until 2016 that VR equipment from major manufacturers, such as HTC vive, PSVR and other equipment were launched one after another, and the VR boom really burned up.

It is also for this reason that 2016 is known by many as the first year of VR games.

It's just that the development of the VR industry soon encountered a bottleneck, and the popularity gradually subsided due to technical reasons, but that's all for later.

And the current situation in this world is roughly equivalent to the situation around 2013 to 2014 in Pei Qian's memory.

There are already companies abroad that have developed usable VR glasses through crowdfunding last year, but this product is not too much attention in China, and there are not too many people paying attention to it abroad for the time being.

On the one hand, because the technology at this time still has certain defects, the resolution is relatively low, the resolution of the monocular is only 640*800, and the two eyes are only 1280*800 after merging, and the grille is very obvious.

On the other hand, because there is too little content that VR technology can support, whether it is a game or a movie, there are not too many manufacturers to develop and shoot.

There is no equipment and no content, and the vast majority of consumers naturally have no incentive to spend $300 to buy such a toy.

In China, there is still a blank in the VR field, no company produces VR glasses, no company develops VR games, and there is not even a cheap VR alternative of "cardboard box + mobile phone".

Pei Qian thinks so: according to the development speed of the entire VR industry, it will take at least three years to reach the heat of the "first year of VR".

In these three years, the entire market has shrunk relatively much, and the heat will not be very high.

Moreover, the prerequisite for playing VR games is to buy a VR glasses, and the price should be at least about two or three thousand; And to experience large-scale VR games smoothly, you also need a high-end computer, which may cost at least six or seven thousand.

This kind of investment is unacceptable to most players.

Therefore, Pei Qian feels that it should be foolproof to engage in VR games at this juncture!

On the contrary, it will drag on for another two or three years, and the situation is really hard to say.

I have to take advantage of this critical juncture to hurry up and lose the money.

Lin Chang held his mobile phone and checked it, and finally figured out the current situation of VR games.

"Mr. Pei, if you want to develop VR games, do you have to cooperate with these foreign VR glasses manufacturers?"

Pei Qian smiled: "What else to cooperate with?" Wouldn't it be okay to develop it yourself? Shenhua Group can make mobile phones, but can't make VR glasses? ”

Lin Chang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be the same thing.

VR glasses are not very complicated technology, and the difficulty of making them is not higher than that of mobile phones. Shenhua Group not only makes mobile phones, but also makes smart hardware, and it is not too difficult to develop a VR glasses.

But he quickly realized that the problem now is not a problem of technology or money at all!

Lin Chang said: "Mr. Pei, this seems too risky, right?" Now there are no traditional game manufacturers making VR games, and if we want to do it, there is no successful experience to refer to? ”

Pei Qian asked: "Since we want to innovate, what successful experience do we need to refer to?" ”

Lin Chang's mouth opened slightly, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Lin Wan said: "Don't interject first, let Mr. Pei finish the idea of the whole project before expressing his opinion." ”

Lin Chang: "......"

Lin Wan was obviously seriously considering the feasibility of the VR game project, and after thinking about it for a while, she said: "Then, Mr. Pei, what kind of VR game are we making?" A first-person shooter? Interactive movie games? Or a simple strategy game should just fine. ”

"If you consider the characteristics of VR equipment, it is definitely the best choice to make a first-person shooter."

Compared with computers, VR is not yet mature in many aspects, such as resolution, operation, dizziness and other problems that need to be solved urgently.

The only advantage is the immersion.

So, genres like shooters and interactive cinematic games can be played in the first person with a far better experience than a computer game. As for strategy games, they are relatively reluctant, and they can only do some games with simple controls and not too complex content. Although it's all God's perspective, God's perspective in VR mode will also look more shocking than on the computer, and it's barely possible.

Pei Qian fell into a brief silence.

If you do a first-person shooter or an interactive movie game, you might even be able to make a name for yourself.

Because first-person shooters can be aimed with a controller, coupled with a strong sense of immersion, plus a little horror atmosphere, you may be able to make a masterpiece that is blown up by players.
