There is a dream called football

Chapter 434 Cooperation with Game Company

The well-known game company EA releases a football game every year—FIFA. Since it is a new year’s game, it is of course unrealistic to expect a lot of updates, and this game must find teams and players for promotion.

Generally, the cover must be a top star, such as Kaka, and the animation before the game is also the top team of each league, Arsenal is also one of them.

And the activity that EA asked Arsenal to do this time was a face model activity.

This is a double activity. The first is to collect model data for the game, and the other is to take the opportunity to promote it.

As we all know, to be realistic for game characters, you must find someone to make a face model, and then use a dynamic tracking system to collect it.

This is also the reason why the characters in many domestic games have stiff expressions, because they have no money to find face models, or cut corners.

Wenger took EA staff Rajar to the team's entertainment center, and then Wenger handed over the players to him.

This one looks like an Indian. There are the most Indians working in the software industry in the United States, which has surpassed the employees in the United States.

Rajar wears glasses and looks like an engineer, with a cameraman next to him.

"Don't be nervous, just like usual, our show will be posted on EA's official website, and what you want to see is life-like scenes."

"I brought the equipment, and today you can see how a football game is born."

Many people are very interested in the game, but as for how the game is developed, few people really know about it.

After setting up the computer equipment, Rajar said with a smile: "Okay, I need someone to help."

Van Persie volunteered.

"Okay, Robin, you come."

"First we need to collect data."

Rajar put small dots on Van Persie's face, these are used to capture expressions.

"Okay, follow my instructions."

"First, laugh."

Van Persie laughed along, and everyone was amused, because Van Persie laughed almost like crying.

"No, be natural."

In fact, people are like this. When you fake a smile, it’s like crying. If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourself.

After trying many times, Van Persie finally got better, at least he seemed to be smiling when he smiled.

"Happy, the ecstasy after you scored a goal."

Van Persie raised his eyebrows and laughed on the spot. After all, everyone is not professional. Even professional actors may laugh, let alone this situation.

"It's okay, let's do it again."

"Annoyance, the annoyance of missed opportunities."

"Complain to the referee."

After collecting more than a dozen facial data, Rajar said with a smile: "Okay, this time we will do a simple one. In fact, we need to collect the data of the whole body, but those are in the database. We are just doing a demonstration."

"Then there is the most important thing for every game company, the game engine, which is the company's core secret."

Players are most interested in this. Everyone has heard of the game engine, but they don't seem to understand it. Is it the same as a car engine?Is it the core?
Someone asked a question.

"Then please take a look at this game engine, what do you think?"

"It's like a piece of software."

"Yes, this is a software, similar to the PS you use, but it's professional, take a look, I'll put the data I just collected into it."

Immediately, a villain appeared on the screen, just like Van Persie, and by clicking the mouse, he could make expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, joy, etc.

"This is the most preliminary and most important, the modeling of the game, and then the characters can be placed in the scene."

Everyone basically understands that "Van Persie" has been built, and the next step is to put him on the court.

The whole process doesn't look complicated, but think about it, this is just one person, and there are so many players in the game.

Of course, many unknown players can just use the public face, there is no need to model, but there are at least a few hundred famous players, which is also quite a problem.

"This is just the simplest. Next, every action needs to collect data, and then it is produced. Therefore, the progress of the FIFA series is only a little bit every year. But from the perspective of five years, the progress of the FIFA series is still great. Our current sports system is more reasonable."

"Of course, all of this requires investment and collection. We find Kaka and Ronaldinho as models, which are very expensive."

Everyone nodded. The investment behind a game is amazing. After Rajar finished speaking, he invited everyone to play the game.

"I invite everyone to play the game with me, and then we can talk about the shortcomings of this game, you can say anything."

In fact, FIFA at this time has not evolved to be as fun as it was later, and there are a lot of shortcomings.

Soon someone said: "This game is too accurate, everyone is like Barcelona. It's fun, but it's too fake."

This is indeed the case. In real situations, passing mistakes are the most common thing, but in games, this is almost impossible. Every through ball can basically be passed in place. This is very fake.

Rajar chuckled, "It's not easy to realize. You must know that many gamers are amateurs. If the turnover rate of passing the ball is high, they will be unhappy."

This is true. Many people play games just for fun. If they can't score a goal after playing for an hour, many people may choose to give up.

At this time, Li Qiao made an opinion.

"When I play FIFA, I always feel that the athletes seem to be floating on the lawn when they run, without a solid feeling. Is this difficult to achieve?"

Regarding this, Rajar thought very seriously, "It should be possible to improve, your opinion is very good, and it will help us."

At this time, someone said: "Can you give old customers a little discount? For example, customers like me buy it every year, but in fact they don't make much progress. I can just upgrade it. Many games have this situation."

Rajar was happy about this, "This is the company's sales strategy, and football is a season of the year, which is also the reality, but I think it is really necessary to distinguish between the needs of old users and new users."

In the end, Rajar teamed up with Arsenal players and played three-on-three PK. This was also the happiest part. In fact, when playing games, who needs to understand the complicated technologies and processes behind them? As Wanjia, the most important thing is to have fun.

Playing well is the most important requirement of many players, so football games will probably never reach the level of a real game. It is not that the technology cannot be realized, but that if that is the case, players will feel uncomfortable.
