After answering the phone, Chen Xu was even more surprised, that was, the person who called was the director of the Magic City Game Department who had met several times before.

"Minister Yang, is there anything wrong?" Chen Xu asked curiously to the point.

"Well, there is indeed something big. Have you read the previous news? Overseas Weigu Technology announced that the new generation of VR game warehouse equipment has made a major breakthrough, which can give players a more immersive experience." Yang Chen said on the phone.

"Look." Chen Xu said.

Regarding this, Chen Xu also saw the industry news that Lin Rou collected every day.

However, Chen Xu didn't care too much at that time.

The reason is very simple. According to the current data, this immersion mode requires players to be completely immersed in the game and have to be highly focused, which also allows players to receive a large amount of information. Compared with ordinary PC games, VR games consume more energy.

As for the black technology like the subconscious mind of Sao in the previous life, which allows players to enter deep sleep, it is obviously not achieved in the parallel world.

Moreover, although the price of the VR game cabin itself is lower than when it was first released, it is not something that most players can afford.

The mainstream VR game warehouse is basically around 50,000 yuan, which is much more expensive than the PC that can run mainstream masterpieces smoothly.

As for higher-level VR devices, let alone.

So more players still play games in VR experience stores similar to Internet cafes.

All of these factors lead to the fact that the share of VR does not actually surpass that of the PC platform.

Next is the cost of game development, and the cost of VR is generally higher than that of PC.

In addition to top manufacturers launching corresponding special VR games every year, even if some second-tier game manufacturers launch VR games, they basically test the waters on the PC platform first and then transplant the VR version after achieving excellent results.

Because of this, Chen Xu made the current main experience of Nebula Games on the PC platform.

"About China, our new generation of VR game warehouse equipment has also entered a stage of testing version."

"It's just that there are no testable games. At the same time, because the new generation of VR game warehouse will give players a stronger sense of immersion, so multi-faceted testing is also required in terms of safety. After all, some games may not be much on the PC platform, but when it comes to the VR platform, it will bring players a special stimulation."

"Of course there are some things on the phone that can't be explained clearly in a word. You log in to the backend of the official website of the game department to see the letters sent. If you are interested, you can come to the game department tomorrow afternoon." Yang Chen said to Chen Xu.

Although I still don’t know the specific content, after listening to Yang Chen’s words, Chen Xu basically had a secret in his mind.

Obviously this is a contest between the platform's cutting-edge technology.

For the game department, it obviously has a different meaning in terms of VR devices.

Just like the host in the previous life.

In the early years, Nintendo rose and dominated the country after the Atari collapse. All practitioners in the game industry had to look at Nintendo's face. The power gold system was a product of that time.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xu entered the official website of the game department and read it all over and basically felt some in his heart.

Basically, it's just as he thought.

The conference hall of the Game Department building the next day.

Chen Xu was a little surprised because there were quite a few designers present.

Tenghua, NetDragon and other domestic game manufacturers, and most of the people who are ranked above the list are here.

Among them, Chen Xu also saw some faces of old acquaintances, such as the good man, Teacher Meng.

"Teacher Meng, are you here too?" Chen Xu went over to say hello.

Meng Zuo, who was chatting with someone over there, heard the voice, turned around and saw Chen Xu walking towards him with a smile on his face. The scene of him holding someone else's trophy that night appeared in his mind, showing a hint of embarrassing but polite smile: "Mr. Chen is here too."

However, without giving Chen Xu a long time, Yang Chen from the game department took the stage on the conference room there.

"Everyone is the top player in the gaming industry. The purpose of summoning everyone this time is actually very simple."

"The new generation of VR gaming devices has entered a stage of testing versions."

"At the same time, for the new generation of VR devices, special adaptation has been made to the development machine game engine, and a new physics engine architecture has been opened."

With Yang Chen's words, designers, including Chen Xu, basically understand the meaning of the game department convening game designers this time.

In short, there is new progress in the VR device engine.

But there is still some distance to be launched on the market, but the progress overseas is similar to theirs, but it has begun to promote it.

Naturally, the domestic side cannot be lagging behind, but the relevant settings lack relevant game materials for testing.

Of course it will not be a complete game, similar to the experience demo of the game, and it is not without benefits.

First of all, there is a special subsidy from the game department, and the intellectual property rights produced are owned by the designer and manufacturer. Simply put, the game department pays you for it, and the subsidies are quite large, so of course the quality must be passed, and the game department will follow up on the progress in real time.

Of course, designers who can be invited are basically among the top in the domestic industry. No one is really stupid to do such things as subsidy fraud.

Secondly, if you participate in the test, there is another advantage that the new technology will definitely not be promoted to all designers immediately for free. Designers participating in this action will be given priority to obtain corresponding permissions.

Designers who do not participate will only be able to krypton gold for excess resources or permissions as before.

After Yang Chen's brief introduction was completed.

Next, the designers also took a vehicle to the scientific research park of the game department under the leadership of the game department.

Under the leadership of the staff, I personally experienced the corresponding effects.

After Chen Xu's turn, after entering the game warehouse, the scene he was in was an environment similar to an unfinished house.

At the same time, Chen Xu also learned about the meaning of Yang Chen's previous words.

He has also experienced the VR game warehouse in parallel worlds before, although it is very immersive.

But there are still some flaws.

The overall feedback from the new generation of VR game warehouse is very perfect.

Wearing somatosensory feedback clothes and gloves and sleeping in the game compartment, you can get a very real feedback on your actions.

Walking around, jumping, and punching, Chen Xu tried to do a few moves, and felt that although it was still a certain difference from reality.

But it's quite perfect.

"The immersion brought by the VR device interaction in this world has reached this level!" Chen Xu also sighed with an expression of his exit from the game warehouse.

But he is also clear about the problems that need to be faced.

The most direct point is the negative effects of over-immersion.

Taking "Dark Souls" as an example, if it is made into a VR game, it is based on the level that Chen Xu just experienced.

Most players cannot play it. They are not persuaded to get rid of difficulty, but are scared away by immersion.

Think about the mouse in the sewer, the weird scenes of the underground prison, not to mention some horror games!

After all the designers on site experience, Yang Chen also told everyone about related matters.

Simply put, if the designer present is interested, he can make a demo game for testing by the game department, and then modify the immersion feeling of the game warehouse based on feedback.

Because the immersion is too strong, it is necessary to make some places less powerful.

It sounds a bit funny, but after actually experiencing it, Chen Xu could understand the meaning of this statement.

It is the corresponding registration process, except for some designers who do have projects on hand because they really cannot be separated.

Including Chen Xu and thirteen designers stayed at the scene, including Meng Zuo.

"Mr. Chen, are you going to participate in the demo production of the game department this time?" Looking at Chen Xu who was queuing with him, Meng Zuo next to him was a little curious.

After all, the news about the sequel to "Dark Souls" on the Internet was very popular. Shouldn't Chen Xu be working hard to develop "Dark Souls"?

How can I still make do with the missions on the game department?

Could it be that the research and development of "Dark Souls" is too fast and no longer needs Chen Xu to control it?

If you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible.

After all, the foundation of the sequel is here, and the game circle is almost the default thing, that is, the sequel can reuse a lot of art resources, greatly saving development progress.

I had no idea that Meng Zuo was starting to get my mind up again, Chen Xu smiled: "I'm curious, and this is also the first time I've been making a VR game, and I also have some interesting ideas."

This is indeed true. Chen Xu really wants to give it a try with such an opportunity.

When Meng Zuo heard Chen Xu's words, his eyes lit up and suddenly became excited: "In fact, there is not much difference between the design of VR games and PC games. The most important thing is the difference in operation modes and the surprise caused by the camera. Although VR games are generally called the first person, some specific games and links are more suitable, such as action types with visual effects."

"Then we can exchange our experiences with each other in the future." Chen Xu looked at the enthusiastic Meng Zuo and couldn't help but sigh. Teacher Meng is indeed a very good person!

"Of course." Meng Zuo laughed very happily. He lost his first tour, was stolen from the limelight at the second gameplay exhibition. His slimness in the third annual game was in stark contrast to someone's trophy. This time he was finally going to get back the venue.

Since he is called Teacher Meng, then this time he will be a teacher!

"By the way, Mr. Chen, do you have any ideas about the new game?" Meng Zuo asked when he thought of something.

"I have an idea, the name of the new game." Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

"pt? What does this mean? It seems a bit strange." Meng Zuo was a little curious.

"playable    The acronym of teaser. After all, this demo is also a playable preview. You can also add a prefix, which is called 'Silent Hill pt'." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Silent Hill pt, it feels quite meaningful. Then Mr. Chen, we will communicate in detail!" Meng Zuo said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
