Chapter 194: What Do You Call Film-Like Graphics (2)
Next, not just the yers and reporters, even Yuri Johnson and Kay Lee were watching with intense concentration, they were fascinated. They hadpletely forgotten this was a video game. They felt like they were watching a movie, especially when these twenty or so people pushed the BOSS. They had already seen all kinds of powerful effects of the Major Eight Sects and the stunning effects literally stirred up the yers watching right in front of theirputer screens.<div>
When they saw the BOSS, all the locked angles made everyone gasp. Especially when one realizes that you’re up against a monster as tall as a six-story building, it’s daunting. It may not sound like much in a game, but imagine for a moment standing at the bottom of a six-story building and engaging in a duel with a creature of that size. How terrifying does that sound?
The approaching BOSS fight left everyone thoroughly astounded. The battle was way more thrilling than any sci-fi movie out of Floral Vige, especially with the endless skills of the BOSS, coupled with the various positioning requirements for the yers. It’s a game of high difficulty.
However, one thing became etched in everyone’s mind, the young man always holding the frontline against the gigantic BOSS. His size seemed out of ce on the screen. To prevent this dissonance, Celestial Order had created a spell that could increase the yer’s size and strength.
Also, in many games, if the BOSS’s axe is long, it only harms its target and nobody else, unless the skill description states it’s an Area Of Effect damage. But here it’s not the case. It’s all too real. Even the room attacks. The BOSS’s axe came down and the shield in the left hand of the Celestial Order man in the front erged instantly to block it.
But because he’s smaller, at least smaller than the BOSS, his character instantly takes a kneeling posture, including the details like dust rising from the ground. And the rest of the axe that overflows would hit other characters too.
Another melee ss got shed, and although quickly healed, it left a strong impression on the yers. From beginning to end, the video felt more like a blockbuster movie from Floral Vige than a game featuring a dungeon boss fight.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
One couldn’t deny though, the glorious and terrifying skills presented in the video game left a deep impression on everyone. At the very end of it all, they finally brought down the BOSS. When the team exited the dungeon, a beam of golden light shot up, and right at the dungeon’s entrance, the names and statues of the 20 yers stood firmly.
When the video ended and the music began, the lights of the IMAX cinema lit up. The livestream revealed the stunned expressions on the spectators faces while online viewers werepletely blown away by what they saw.
At the event, after the shock had worn off, apuse broke out. Some reporters couldn’t help but ask questions. Seeing the excitement in their eyes, Leo Johnson knew he had seeded! He had bet and won! His game, with everything it offered, definitely had the potential to surpass Monster World!
Yuri Johnson, stepping back up to the temporary stage in front of the movie screen, picked up the microphone and said with a smile, “I’m sure all the journalists and yers have seen what can be truly called a film-like screen! This is the game we’ve honed for ten years! I believe it will be a revolutionary invention. Now, I’d like to take some questions from our journalist friends.”
Oddly enough, the first journalist that Mr. Johnson picked was a blonde foreigndy. She asked, somewhat excitedly, “Mr. Johnson, do you know how I felt while watching this clip? It’s almost as if I were watching a blockbuster production from Floral Vige! So my question is, Mr. Johnson, do you realize how amazing your game engine is, how it can bepared to the special effects seen in Hollywood releases? You might change not only the gaming industry, but also the film industry!”<div>
Thisdy didn’t really ask a question but excitedly stated a bunch of things. The other journalists were taken aback, but they had to agree! The graphics were so amazing that everyone thought it was a Hollyvvood joint, and even with the skill bars, most people just ignored them. They were watching it like a movie! This brought them to the question that the foreign journalist had posted: they too had seen the NPC rendering, and it was far more realistic than special effect rendered characters. They wondered how the game engine developed by NetEase achieved this?
A foreign journalist warmed up the room by heaping praises, which made Yuri Johnson very happy and he called upon a second journalist. This reporter was from a professional gaming media, he stood up and voiced his concerns, “I have to say Mr. Johnson, your team has developed an astonishing game! In terms of graphics, it is indeed unprecedented! However, I’m worried about how high theputer’s configuration has to be to run such graphics?”
“Thank you for the question, my fellow journalist. This indeed is a part of what I wanted to address. The reason it has taken us so long toplete this game is that the currentputer hardware has finally met our requirements. Most importantly, our gaming engine has made a significant breakthrough. While providing high-quality graphics, it also minimizes the demands on the user’sputer. In other words, any mid-rangeputer worth around 4000 me Nation coins can handle this game perfectly well!” Yuri Johnson said with a smile.
“Wow, that’s fantastic news, thank you for the answer, Mr. Johnson.”
“Damn, that’s awesome? I was just worrying about what kind of superior configuration would be needed to run this game. But from what I see, my currentputer could do it!”
“Yeah, hell, though myputer is a bit outdated, but for this game, I’m totally getting a new system!” Gamers online were discussing eagerly, and numerous yers were already excitedly chatting away.
“Mr. Johnson, if you’re just starting to advertise this game, does that mean that it’ll be quite a long time before the game is released general public? After all, we all know that there’s quite a gap between the start of a video game’s promotion and its public beta test.” Another journalist specializing in gaming asked.
“Hehe… I’m sure many yers watching the live stream, as well as our journalist friend over here, are eager to know the answer to this question. But I can frankly tell you all; unlike the typical game development cycle, I’m pleased to announce that this game was fullypleted before we called this press conference! Although we had some differences when deciding on the game’s charges, as soon as we finalize the fee model, we will immediately start preparing for the game’s operation.” Yuri Johnson quickly replied.
“So, Mr. Johnson, are you nning on charging yers based on time spent or on items sold in the game? Also, I noticed that the game seems to switch to the first-person perspective once entering a dungeon?” The reporter immediately followed up.
“Hehe… This journalist is quite observant. I’ll answer your second question first. It’s not that the game switches to the first-person viewpoint once a yer enters a dungeon, but only specific ones use this format. Just like the one in the trailer we’ve just watched. It belongs to the legendary difficulty, the hardest level in our dungeons! In such difficulty, the yer’s viewpoint changes to the first-person, as seen in the video, allowing yers to feel like they have really stepped inside the game world. Of course, the yer’s movements are greatly limited in this view as it’s not a Gods-eye view.”
“Regarding your first question, charging yers based on item usage is currently the mainstream method. However, this greatly affects the lifespan of a game. And if we aim to make a quality game, maintaining bnce within the game is crucial. Therefore, a time-based fee would be fair to all yers. It’s a dilemma. So there are some disagreements between me and the CEO of thepany. Although we haven’t made a decision yet, there is a high probability that it would be a time-based fee. This mainly involves some matters of the Top Three veteran yers, as everyone should know, this game and Top Three share the same root. Out of responsibility for the yers, we can’t ignore the old yers of Top Three.” Yuri Johnson said.<div>
“Thank you, Mr. Johnson.” The reporter promptly sat down.
Yuri Johnson quickly pointed to another reporter, “Mr. Johnson, I noticed that you mentioned some disagreements with thepany’s CEO in your speech. As far as I know, WY should be your ownpany.” This reporter apparently caught the hint in Yuri Johnson’s words.
Once the reporter’s question was asked, everyone present instantly perked up their ears. Yes! This could be big news. Could it be that Yuri Johnson was no longer the CEO of NetEase?
Yuri Johnson slightly smiled, then replied: “Actually, I’m no longer thergest stakeholder of thepany. The currentrgest stakeholder of WTY is a former yer, a Top Three yer. I believe the yers who have yed Top Three should have heard his name. His game ID is Literati Saucy Poet.”
As Yuri Johnson finished his sentence, there was a stir among the group of gaming journalists below, whereas the yers watching the live stream at theirputers immediately blew up. After regaining theirposure, numerous yers were dying to share this news with everyone around them. In particr, the Top Three yermunity, there were very few yers who hadn’t heard the name Literati Saucy Poet.
Didn’t know who he was? Just look at the global server rankings, the top 201 ounts in front of the list all start with ‘Literati’. Now, how about that! The mesmerizing story of Literati Saucy Poet’s rise to power had been documented by many and posted on the official forum. Of course, on the night when these 200 ounts appeared, Literati Saucy Poet wrote a reply to his allies saying he would consider their suggestion of acquiring WY..
