Chapter 222 BioShock!

Tian Kemeng didn't think there was any difficulty. He said relaxedly: "Creating a game that looks like a work of art? Other companies can't do this, but our Phantom is good at this."

"The "Little Nightmares" we made before was praised by many people as a game like a work of art."

Han Qi nodded approvingly: "Indeed, the game we made is called a work of art, which is not a problem for our ghosts."

"However, the next game I want to make is not to make it look like a work of art, but to develop and produce the game in the way of creating a work of art, and it has very high requirements for the art style of the game."

"Miss Cao." Han Qi looked at the foxtail grass, "This time the main beauty job will not be easy."

Setaria is now a veteran. Although she is still very young, facing the challenge given by Han Qi, Setaria seems very confident.

Setaria even said: "I have been waiting for such a day in the murals before, and I also want to create a unique style. The more unusual the art style, the more it can reflect the strength of our ghosts."

Xian Yuchi asked: "It feels like the boss has very high requirements for the new game. I don't know what the theme of the game is?"

Han Qi said: "The theme of the new game is a steampunk game."

"Wow." As soon as the words came out, everyone in the ghost laughed happily, "Steampunk? This is very cool."

Han Qi continued to explain: "The game will be a No. 1 shooting game, so it is locked to the No. 1 title."

Assistant Luo Shan asked: "No.1 is called a shooting game, and No.1 is locked. Is this a steampunk-themed shooting game? This is indeed rare in the market. As for the high-level Almost none."

"Let me think about it." Tian Kemeng thought for a long time, "It seems that Polar Bear released a steampunk shooting game the year before last, but it was complained later that the shooting feel was poor, and the final sales were mediocre. It is said that the studio that made this game It was disbanded immediately afterwards."

Han Qi added: "Although the form of the game is No.1 shooting, I cannot say that this is a shooting game."

"Compared to shooting games, it is more accurate to use the No.1 name to define shooting RPG games. The protagonist played by the player goes through a fantasy adventure, and the No.1 name is used to experience the storyline of the game."

Luo Shan asked: "It's a very good setting. No.1 said that shooting can make the game more immersive and enhance the sense of substitution in the narrative."

"Yes, this game is still in the familiar style of Phantom." Han Qi emphasized, "The plot, the plot is king."

Luo Shan made a few gestures in the notebook, and then said: "It seems that the new game is a No.1 shooting game with a steampunk background and a heavy storyline."

Han Qi nodded, then shook his head again.

"No.1, which focuses on the storyline, said that shooting games are very common, even mainstream. Of course, there are very few steampunk games."

"But what I want to emphasize is that the selling point of the new game is not shooting... The plot and world setting will be the most distinctive features of the new game."

After saying this, everyone immersed themselves in writing and drawing for a while.

Until everyone memorized the main points of Han Qi, and then everyone communicated with each other.

Including Han Qi, I also looked at the game settings conceived by the employees based on their own descriptions.

Only then did everyone ask curiously: "Then boss, have you figured out the name of the new game?"

Han Qi nodded: "Of course I have thought about it."

"The name of the new game is - "BioShock Infinite."

"BioShock Infinite" is the No.2 shooting game produced by Irrational Games on Earth and published by 1KGame.

This game was released in 2013. Once it was launched, it has received wide acclaim for its stunning graphic art style and in-depth plot, and has become a masterpiece of word of mouth.

In particular, the floating city of Columbia in the sky can be called the top performance in the history of games.

In the city above the clouds, singing and dancing are peaceful, everyone lives in incomparable peace, and it is a scene full of vitality.

A "perfect" city can be called an idealized utopia.

There is even more perfect teammate Elizabeth, almost one of the best teammates in the history of video games.

If Ghost makes "BioShock Infinite", it will bring players a shocking cloud city, a playful and lovely girl Elizabeth, a wide variety of weapons and fancy magic effects, It can create a game world full of steampunk style for players.

All these elements mean that "BioShock Infinite" will be very interesting and full of characteristics.

The original main line of the game-rescue the imprisoned girl Elizabeth.

This plot is also very kingly.

The uncle male protagonist and the loli female protagonist, this is simply the ultimate expression of personal heroism!

These superficial factors make it possible for Ghost to make "BioShock Infinite" commercially successful.

But there is another very important factor, almost equally important, that made Han Qi decide to make BioShock Infinite.

It is because of the plot of "BioShock Infinite".

The game describes a perfectly precise and orderly world like gears for everyone, especially the main city of Columbia.

Perfect, it just blows up Suzaku City!
The beautiful buildings above the white clouds, the ideal life brought by cutting-edge technologies such as electricity and steam, the buildings in the sky are connected by romantic trams, and the incredible airships are floating slowly among the huge statues.

Everyone is so peaceful, every store has a wide range of products, and everything is so perfect.

This city in the sky is simply paradise!
A perfect and ideal city is hardly something that human beings can have.

The subsequent development of the game's plot also proved that this disturbing perfection was just another lie.

"BioShock Infinite" is dystopian, and at the same time, it also has a lot of pen and ink to describe the faces of the rulers and big capitalists in the steampunk background.

Perhaps life in Suzaku City is completely different from life in "BioShock Infinite".

But Han Qi is confident that any player who has played the game seriously can also detect the game's response to reality from the game.

"BioShock Infinite" is a romantic utopia game and a heavy realism game.

And this point is very important to Han Qi who is being ruthlessly oppressed by the polar bear.

Han Qi wants to make a voice through the game, make a voice that belongs to the ghost through the game, and at the same time fight for greater rights and interests for the ghost through the game!
