Chapter 235: Or the Press Conference (Fourth Watch)
Chen Mo continued.
"Okay, then the press conference officially begins."
"I know that everyone is here with full doubts, what is Chen Mo's first game going to do? What is the platform? It's probably still a PC or mobile game, oops, it's too mysterious. ”
Chen Mo said, and he couldn't help laughing.
The reporters below were also amused, and they all said: "Don't talk about cross talk, we want to watch a new game!" ”
Chen Mo said: "Okay, good, new game." Before we talk about the new game, let's take a look at a simple CG. ”
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he stood aside, and the screen began to play CG.
As soon as I heard the CG, many reporters came to the spirit.
As we all know, Thunder Interactive Entertainment has always been nicknamed "Thunder Film Studio", which can be called the most willing to burn money to do CG game companies in China, and the CG of "Warcraft" and "Diablo" are classics.
Will the CG of this new game be so shocking?
Screen switching.
In the distance, the rising sun is slowly rising, and a small person is running towards the camera.
In the sunlight, the whole scene appears very bright and saturated, but everything is made up of blocks.
Blocks of white clouds, trees, grass, rocks......
This little figure is also a bit like a toy, but the shape is more pleasing.
Countless blocks formed a huge slide, and the little man slid from the slide and then flew into the sky, spreading a pair of wings behind his back, flying over the jungle, flying over the mountains, and finally landing on a small boat on the surface of the sea.
The whale, which was made up of blocks, suddenly surfaced and lifted the boat into the sky.
The villain crashed into a huge block with the word TNT written on it in mid-air, and was instantly pushed away by a violent explosion and fell on a rooftop.
The villain looks ahead.
The lights gradually came on, and the buildings hidden in the dark were lit up in turn, and the whole city was lit up.
If you look closely, these buildings are also made up of countless blocks, and there are many iconic buildings inside, such as the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, the Yellow Crane Tower, and so on.
The whole city is brightly lit and looks bustling.
A LIGHT SHINES INTO THE SKY, FORMING A GAME LOGO MADE OF BLOCKS: MINECRAFT, MINECRAFT.
The CG final picture is frozen in this scene.
……
There was applause, but not enthusiastically.
Most reporters are confused, what the hell is this?
They were looking forward to watching CG at the same level as "Warcraft" and "Diablo", but they saw such a short animation that was only a little more than a minute.
Could this be Chen Mo's new game?
Chen Mo walked to the front of the stage, and everyone's reaction was within his expectations.
"I know you may have some doubts right now, don't worry, wait for me to speak slowly."
"It's called Minecraft, and it's a VR game. Many people may wonder, why is it called 'Minecraft'? ”
"To put it simply, it's a building block game. Many of you may have played LEGGO bricks before, but in fact, this game is designed to try to reproduce the fun of building blocks in the game. ”
"So, what can you do in this game?"
Chen Mo clicked on the PPT page-turning pen as he spoke, and the PPT screen switched accordingly.
"It's a world of blocks, and you can think of it as a world of blocks. In this world, you are free to remove or place blocks to reshape the world the way you want. ”
"You can dig a huge dungeon in the mountain."
"It is also possible to build a magnificent sky city out of glass."
"It is also possible to build buildings that actually exist in reality, such as the Bird's Nest, the Great Wall, and the Opera House. Of course, it takes a certain amount of architectural knowledge and a lot of patience. ”
"In short, in this world, you can build almost anything you want."
Chen Mo clicked on the page-turning pen as he spoke, and buildings such as the Bird's Nest, the Great Wall, and the Opera House made of squares appeared on the PPT screen.
"In addition, this game has a wealth of spin-offs."
"Like survival mode. When you enter this world, you will have nothing on your body, and you must collect wood and stone, build your own dwelling, and hide from the dangerous creatures of the night as you can to survive. ”
"For example, online mode. You can search for worlds created by other players, or invite other players to come to your own world and create with you. ”
"For example, in the network mode, in each server, 10,000 players will co-create in a world with a total surface area of 100,000 square kilometers, and the ecology of each server will be completely different."
"In addition, there is a tech tree in the game that is completely different from the real world, as well as a unique trading system......"
Chen Mo's thinking is clear, his words are fluent, and he tells it little by little, introducing all the advantages of "Minecraft".
The reporters below behaved differently.
Some people are interested and relished.
Some people were puzzled and frowned.
Someone whispered and shook their heads frequently.
Someone looked dazed and overwhelmed.
But it's clear that even those who are interested in the game are somewhat disappointed.
Because everyone knows that Western fantasy is probably Chen Mo's best field, whether it is "Warcraft" or "Diablo", Chen Mo's ability to control the theme of Western fantasy can be said to be second to none in China.
Moreover, Chen Mo also specially made the website of the Azeroth universe, regularly updating some settings about "Warcraft", and players have been calling for Chen Mo to make the world of Azeroth into an MMORPG game.
Many people think that Chen Mo made "Dark" to open the way for RPG games, and the next RPG game with a dozen people from a human perspective.
The result?
The new game is indeed an RPG, it is indeed a first-person perspective, and it is indeed VR, but this is too far from what I imagined, right?
Although the graphics quality is not bad, although the game is very rich, although you can freely create all kinds of awesome buildings in the game, however, it looks too young!
Building block? It's all kids' play!
If it's a mobile game, it's very okay, and on the PC side, it's okay, because there are more teenagers on these two platforms, and there must be more people who love to play with building blocks.
But what about VR?
A VR game cabin can easily cost tens of thousands, except for a few rich second generations, all of whom must be adults with certain financial ability to afford it.
Who would want to lie down in an expensive game pod and build blocks?
Chen Mo's speech was very wonderful and rich in content, and most of the reporters were recording and listening carefully.
But there are also many reporters who have completely lost interest, and very perfunctory took a few small videos, memorized some key points, and waited for the end of the show.
There was also a reporter who was very disappointed and sent a message to his editor-in-chief: "Damn, Chen Mo actually made a building block game...... Oh my god! ”8)
