Chapter 211 Shocking the audience! "Legend of Zelda" promotional videos are all real machine pictures?

【already edited】

"Open world?"

As soon as Mr. Chu's voice fell, the audience began to discuss.

"I remember that this type of game seems to be quite popular in Europe and America."

"Didn't some designers show open world games at the Asian Games before?"

"If you don't understand, just ask, what, is it an open world?"

"To put it simply, it is a game world with a relatively high degree of freedom. In the conventional game system, we need to follow the game settings, talk to specific NPCs, and enter specific buildings. For example, in "Devil May Cry" you see Those high-rise buildings that you have visited are just scene maps, you can’t reach those places, you can only play the game according to the official route.”

"I know! It means that in the open world, I can go in any building I want to see? As long as I see anyone on the road, I can talk to anyone I want?" Some players stared wide-eyed.

"That's not... It seems that there is no game that can reach this level..."

Players' pursuit of gameplay has always been endless.

From the beginning of the development of video games, the pursuit of players is more cool skills, more choices of characters, and richer scene textures.

Later, more novel modes, more interesting gameplay, and more exciting interactions are needed.

But no matter what generation of players they are, they all hope that they can experience more freedom in the game.

This is also the reason why a group of players were stunned when the hidden room in "The Binding of Isaac" was blown up.

When Icarus in "Dyson Sphere Project" was able to ascend to heaven and leave his home planet to go to other galaxies, it was a shock to the players.

When "Devil May Cry" finishes defeating the final boss, and can even manipulate the boss to transform into a character, and restart a new round, it brings that amazing feeling.

Players who play "Beach Volleyball" are always thinking about what is under the girl's skirt.

Players always hope to see some breakthroughs in gameplay in the games they play.

The definition of an open world gives players more room for imagination.

More intuitively speaking.

In many games, there is only one path to the boss.

In the open world, all roads lead to Rome.

However, in the era in which Mr. Chu lived, the interpretation of the open world was richer.

On Blue Star, the open world that players see is just a few more shortcuts and ways than ordinary games.

Therefore, even when the open world concept of "Breath of the Wild" was proposed.

The expressions of many audience members in the audience are still confused.

There are players who have already experienced the open world, but they don't think this game type can stand alone.

What's more, this kind of game is jokingly called an enhanced version of RPG.

Its core role-playing elements are higher than the open world elements.

"There are many definitions of the open world, but I will only talk about what I personally think is the most perfect interpretation of it." Chu Jun held the microphone and said with a smile: "The best definition of the open world is that players can feel it all the time. ——'Fuck, this fucking works?', 'How can this game be played like this?'"

The voice fell, and the audience roared with laughter.

It is quite a happy scene for a famous designer to swear at the press conference.

But while laughing, more players brought curiosity and anticipation.

According to Designer Chu's statement.

Can the current "Legend of Zelda" achieve what he said-to surprise players all the time?
After mobilizing the curiosity of all players.

The promotional CG about "The Legend of Zelda" on the big screen has already started broadcasting!
The rippling sea water opened the prelude to the promotional film.

The camera gallops fast.

After moving up, in the distance of the sparkling sea, you can see a volcano that is in the eruption period.

Seagulls spread their wings and hover over the sea.

The camera flashes, a tropical rainforest full of banana trees and bushes, with gurgling streams.

Then, as the speed of cutting mirrors increases.

A land of quicksand like waves.

Snow-capped mountains.

Lush and lush forest.

The scenes of various regions shuttle and flash quickly, and the picture quality is exquisite and lifelike
All of them are interpreting the beautiful scene of this continent.

"Damn? Is this the map scene in the game?" Some audience members were stunned.

"This map looks too big... Just the scene I see so far, there are already many landforms such as volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, sea areas, tropical rainforests, deserts, and forests."

"Ghost, is this the charm of the open world?"

"It's hard to say, this is just a promotional video, just like the phrase 'pictures are for reference only' on the instant noodle bag. Game manufacturers usually like to make promotional videos look good, but after entering the game, you will find that it is not the case at all .”

While the audience chattered, the promotional video on the stage was still playing.

Somewhere in the lush forest, the camera zooms in infinitely.

Under a thousand-year-old tree full of cherry blossoms.

A silver-blue slender sword called the Sword of Exorcism was inserted in the stone steps of the inverted triangle.

Then, the blond boy dressed in blue stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the castle shrouded in a strange purple-red luster beyond the sky.

If we say that the initial screen shots are just introducing the scene of the game continent.

Then all the rest will be focused on the blue-clothed, blond-haired boy.

The background music started to get louder.

The boy was running on the vast grassland with a sword on his back.

Then, he gritted his teeth and climbed to the peak.

As soon as the distant shot is pulled out, the tiny boy is in sharp contrast with the towering mountains, and the scene of the abyss is under his feet, which makes people feel shuddering just by looking at it.

The single-plank bridge spanning the cliff seems to have been bent, and the boy ran quickly on it.

Soon, he was walking on the snow-covered ridge again.

Ride through the desert on huge horses.

Immediately afterwards, a series of quick camera flashes close-up, presenting the distinctive elements of the game one by one.

Towering spires.

A secret room full of traps.

There is a huge beast crawling in the mouth of the volcano.

The figure of a monster in the dusty sky.

The rising temple.

The background music is getting louder and faster.

The screen flashed faster and faster.

Like a revolving lantern.

Disaster has come.

A blood moon enveloped the sky.

This originally vibrant continent was eroded and corroded by the monster named Calamity Ganon, and the land gradually lost its vitality.

The fire burned the village.

Countless kingdom soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

The lens turns.

A girl who also has blond hair and wears a blue dress appears in the camera.

Her temperament is noble and elegant.

She is the princess of this continental kingdom, Zelda.

But even if you are a princess, there is almost nothing you can do in the face of disaster.

"Everything I've done so far...is useless at all..." A weaker female voice intersperses into the picture.

There were two lines of tears on Zelda's beautiful face, and with a bit of despair, she looked back at the castle that had been eroded by the red-purple plague.

In the end, she threw herself into the boy's arms covered in mud, weeping at the top of her lungs.

The boy drew the sword on his back.

Face tens of thousands of monsters approaching in front of you.

He protected the princess behind him, and took a step forward, the sword gleaming coldly.

He vowed to defend this kingdom to the death!
Just when this high-burning shot of the last stand appeared.

The screen on the big screen suddenly went out.

All players frowned in confusion.

next moment.

The voice of Zelda comes from the high-end stereo surround sound in the room.

"Link...Link..."

"wake up……"

In the final scene, the boy lying in the blue crystal coffin suddenly opened his eyes as if he heard the girl's call!
At this point, the promotional video is over, and the name of the game slowly appears in front of the big screen.

"ZELDA丨Legend of Zelda"

silence!

The audience fell into a deathly silence.

Even if you are mentally prepared.

It is also clear what kind of game company Junyue is.

But when the promotional video was played.

The feeling of shock still lingers in everyone's heart.

Less than 4 minutes to announce the announcement, the time is not long.

High-quality stereo surround sound through the scene.

This sense of immersion has been pulled to the extreme!

It's like sitting in a movie theater watching a blockbuster.

Obviously not familiar with the beautiful girl in the picture.

But when he saw her hissing and crying, there were still emotions surging in his chest.

Seeing the moment when the short boy climbed the peak with his teeth gritted and sweating, the proper mirror movement made people feel the pride of "seeing all the small mountains at a glance"!

In addition, there is also a fighting part in the promotional film where the boy fights with the monster.

The sharp contrast between the huge monster and the short boy will make people feel a cold sweat.

In the end, the girl's murmurs and whispers woke up Link, who seemed to be in a coma.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and the camera took a curtain call.

But it leaves the audience with a lot of room for imagination.

What is the relationship between a boy and a girl?
Why is the boy in a coma?

What happened to this continent?
Or is it all just a teenager's imagination?
Just a promotional video of less than 4 minutes, but it shows too many massive details!

Beautiful picture quality, rich tones, and clever mirroring.

"I give this promotional video full marks!" Someone shouted from the audience.

"Chu Bao! The only true god!!" Someone shouted.

Soon, the venue was filled with deafening applause.

The enthusiasm of the players burned like a flame.

"Phew... it's Mr. Chu who caused it." Seeing the scene turn from questioning to applause within a few minutes, Ling Tianhang who was standing under the stage wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chu will always have a solution." Xu Nianqing was also wearing a slim light-colored dress today, and he pursed his lips with cherry red lipstick, and said with a smile.

"But having said that, when was this game made? I remember that our company didn't have a project for "Zelda." Yang Mai scratched his head aside.

"Could it be... President Chu did it all by himself?" Someone was dismissed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"This promotional video alone is probably enough for us to shoot for a week... The shooting in the game is more difficult than in reality, even in the developer mode. But after all, there are no scenic spots recognized by the public, and the game shooting cannot be done with a computer. The program retrieves frame by frame. After all, the definition of beauty is different between the program and the naked eye. It is necessary to dig out the most suitable place to make a promotional video in the entire large scene, and then, regardless of the promotional video, such a large map , many scene elements, it is still a 3D game, so much modeling, when will this be done?"

"Then how did you do it? President Chu did not give the R&D department a proposal for Zelda."

"Uh...then this..." The high-level executive who retorted was speechless, he hesitated for a long time, and then held back a sentence: "Maybe, President Chu started doing it a long, long time ago?"

Right now, it seems that only this conclusion can be highly consistent.

"Mr. Chu is really a god... One person can play a game of this level... This is already the definition of a 3A game, right?"

"But it's hard to say, after all, the promotional video and the actual machine show the content..."

Some people stopped talking in the middle of the conversation.

But I understand everything.

The promotional video of the game and the display content of the real machine.

It's a concept like whether a girl turns on a beauty camera or not.

Even for works of the level of "Devil May Cry", there will be some cases where the propaganda does not match the reality.

Or, it will mislead the player, making the player think that he can play such content after buying the game, but in fact he may only be able to play a part of the limited content.

Not just employees.

Many audience members expressed their opinion.

Don't look at how shocking the promotional video is, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It can be guaranteed to shrink a bit in the real machine display link.

Just now.

Chu Jun spoke.

"The next step is to enter the real machine demonstration interface. The promotional video played just now is based on the real machine screen, without any rendering processing. What is in the promotional film can be experienced in the game."

As soon as this word comes out.

Audience: "????"

Junyue employee: "????"

Live water friend: "????"

Question marks flew all over the screen.

Such an awesome promotional image.

It is actually a purely extracted game content display?
In other words, what the players see so far.

Whether it's rock climbing, gliding, or horseback riding, fighting monsters, cooking, temples, puzzle organs, and the four great beasts.

And interact with various NPC scenes.

Is it all fucking real content in the game? ? ?
As soon as the news came out, the audience gasped in unison, directly heating up the room!
Junyue flagship store, plus ten degrees!
No wonder everyone was so surprised.

These days, what industry doesn’t make some fake announcements?
If a person cheats, he will be condemned.

But when everyone is cheating, consumers are already numb.

But now Mr. Chu's words seem to be like——

Open the package of instant noodles, and found that the real thing inside is exactly the same as the pattern!
I fell in love with a good-looking young lady online, and when I met offline, I found that the real person is prettier than the photo!

Pinxixi lottery said that if you cut a knife, you will get 200 red envelopes, and it really will!
How can this not be shocking?

"I don't believe it! I really don't believe it! Unless you can prove it to me!"

"Quick! Hurry up! Don't say anything, let's demonstrate on the real machine!"

"Hmph, if this is true, I'll just take off my pants and run three laps on my head, remember what I look like!"

Just as the players on the scene were booing.

The big screen showed the picture again.

The real machine demonstration part has already started.

The difference from the promotional video is that the real machine demonstration does not play those virtual ones, but focuses more on the display of game performance.

At the beginning, a boy named Link appeared in a lush forest.

In the promotional video, players have already seen the meticulous production of the "Zelda" scene.

But really wait until after entering the actual machine link of the game.

Only then did the players realize how small their vision was. (Note: The real machine demonstration is not to play the game from scratch, but to extract the play clips of each scene, highlighting the game features.)
