i really just want to play games

Chapter 220 There has never been only interactive changes

The employee who was praised was very happy. In this point, it just proves that people are still animals. Usually, even though domestic pets cannot understand human words, they still enjoy the tone of praise.

"But I was able to think about this problem last night because I discovered a big blind spot." Chen Tiancai smiled and set a bait, waiting for someone to eat it.

"Then boss, what is this blind spot?" Pei Guangming is worthy of being a man who has also attended E3, and he understands the intention of his boss's words very well.

He didn't even raise his head and directly completed the task of admiration.

At this time, all the employees were quiet, ready to listen to their boss's opinion.

"That's what I found, whether it's the mosaic in the 2D era, or the 3D in the back, or even the current next-generation console, on the surface it shows the progress of the picture, but in fact it's all about the change and progress of interaction." Chen Tiancai didn't talk nonsense. stated this point directly.

"It's all about interaction! This..."

"I feel that something has been broken, but I still feel a little unclear."

"This familiar feeling is like when I was in Ma Zhe."

The employees began to discuss in low voices. Some smart people didn't speak, but their eyes became brighter and brighter. They probably understood what Chen Tiancai meant.

"Hey, my boss, stop being so pretentious and talk about it!"

Chen Tiancai loyally praised Pei Guangming for activating his skill again, but he still didn't raise his head and continued to look at the files in his computer.

"Okay, let's talk about it." Chen Tiancai cleared his throat and said slowly:

"Take 2D to 3D as an example. On the surface, it seems that video games have changed from flat 2D to full-space 3D, but it is actually a revolutionary change in the way of interaction. Because in the 2D era, there are also many 2D flat top-down perspective games. Take Contra as an example, some levels are displayed like this, except that you can’t jump, the actual actions that can be used in the 3D scene are similar.”

"Therefore, the change of this era is actually very simple, it is to change the flat picture into a change of our human subjective perspective, so we can look at the game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" again, and we can clearly understand Know why it's called the walking patent for 3D games."

"So from the era of 3D games, it is still the logic of "Ocarina of Time". It's just that more and more progress in the picture makes our human subjective perspective more vivid, but no matter how the picture changes, behind the scenes The interactive revolution is still the same as it was decades ago.”

"Cough!" Chen Tiancai took a sip of happy water, then cleared his throat, and continued:

"Maybe it's not too obvious yet, I'll go on."

"The era of VR has indeed come, but why didn't the previous VR games have any hits, and most of them were leisurely and entertaining games. Even the popularity of VR has dropped a lot in the past two or three years."

“It was only with Valve’s new game “Half-Life” a few years ago that everyone saw how VR games should really be made. The reason is very simple. That is, everyone saw clearly that in order to make games for VR, the first thing that must be changed is the interaction method. Variety."

"Half-Life has achieved it, so it is very successful. I admire V Agency very much. Although G Fatty will not be counted among the third, but when it comes to promoting and inspiring the game industry, V Agency is indeed the only one."

Through Chen Tiancai's in-depth and simple explanation, many employees understood what Chen Tiancai meant and understood that the progress of games over the years is actually an improvement in the interaction method. The so-called continuous improvement of the graphics is just to strengthen this interaction method.

However, there are still some new employees who don't understand. He didn't dare to ask questions loudly. He could only ask in a low voice to the old employee next to him: "Senior, I still don't understand the change from 2D to 3D. Why does the change in interaction change the screen? many."

This senior happened to be one of the 28 arhats after the establishment of Zange Network. He understood Chen Tiancai's meaning very clearly. Hearing the junior's question at this time, he directly explained: "It's very simple. You can see the way the props are. The way to get it in 2D games is to directly use the protagonist to collide with it. In 3D games, you can directly control the protagonist to get this item from the table, just like you usually take an item. This is 3D The biggest change in the game, simulating the way real people interact with the world.”

The new employee suddenly realized, and then said: "That's it, no wonder I played other VR games before, and I always felt uncomfortable playing, but playing "Half-Life" felt very comfortable."

Chen Tiancai was very satisfied when he watched the employees begin to understand this issue and kept discussing it with colleagues around them. This is also the purpose of holding this regular meeting.

But Zange Network is a game company after all. After talking about VR, many employees' eyes lit up. An old employee directly asked excitedly: "Boss, are we going to make VR games?"

Chen Tiancai smiled, then shook his head quickly, and said, "I have no such plan, but after the development of "Secret Realm: Yelang" is completed, I will tell everyone good news."

"Okay, everyone can go to work. It will be lunch time in a while. If you don't work hard now, you may not eat well later." After making a small joke, Chen Tiancai ended the regular meeting.

Although some employees did not get the confirmation of developing VR games from Chen Tiancai, they were not too disappointed, because Chen Tiancai always brought them surprises.

However, there is actually a deeper reason why Chen Tiancai raised this issue today, but the rest should not be discussed with the employees.

But obviously, there were three people who had to digest Chen Tiancai's astonishing words first.

"The three of you come to my office right away, I have something to say to you." After greeting 'Iron Triangle', Chen Tiancai went downstairs and waited in his office.

The 'Iron Triangle' arrived soon, and each of them found a place to sit down.

"To tell you the truth, Zange Network will never develop VR games." Chen Tiancai's shocking words made the eyes of "Iron Triangle" stare straight in fright.

"Boss, what does this mean? VR is the outlet of the next era, and from what we know, almost all major game companies have started their own VR projects. Are we going to give up this most important position?" Pei Guangming jumped up from the sofa and said.

Feng Bi and Li Zhu were very quiet and didn't say anything.Even though this is more in line with their personalities, Chen Tiancai still saw their frowns, and he didn't understand why Chen Tiancai would speak like this. His words seemed to tell them that Zange Network would not plan to do it for a few more years. Same.
