Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 550

Chapter 550 It's hard to recover from the flood! start!

Favorable?

Are you **** serious?

Aesop looked at Petain, who was even a little proud, and opened his mouth, trying to suppress his emotions.

There is no doubt that since Pétain challenged him at this time, it means that the proposal to "remove the watermark" was 100% made by him.

Perhaps standing in Pétain's position, this approach is understandable.

After all, this approach can not only increase market discussion, but also make "Eve of Catastrophe" a hot project in the market once it is released, reversing Yunwei's market slump.

At the same time, it can make Vivendi see hope and satisfy the top management of the funder, thereby providing them with more abundant development funds.

It not only satisfies the market, but also satisfies the top management.

Killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone, is not a failure.

But the problem is-

We don't have the ability to realize the project now!

Today, whether it is engine technology or team production experience, we are at a comprehensive disadvantage!

But under such circumstances, we boasted something super awesome!

My chest made a thumping sound!

An unprecedented lie!

Aesop opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, but he had no idea how to speak!

Looking at the confident Pétain, and then at the already confident Cornick, I really want to ask them where they got this inexplicable confidence!

What did we say back then?

Does it mean that we need to revitalize the golden wind?

Isn't our initial goal to be the first to propose the concept of "virtual world", to publish the concept before the golden wind, to outline the prototype, and then to slowly enrich and improve this virtual world?

But now, why has it become "directly creating a virtual world"?

yes!

Now that this promotional video, which can be called a scam, has come out, both investors and funders, Vivendi, are all looking at us with admiration, and project funds are also flowing in.

But be aware.

Money may be able to buy most things in the world, but "time" is definitely not on money's shopping list.

With abundant funding, it is not impossible for them to create such a complete virtual world.

But besides money, time is also essential.

Phoenix blocks us, it doesn't matter, we can put energy into improving the picture.

The Fantasy Engine blocks us, it doesn't matter, we can invest our energy in improving our physical sense.

Even the physical effects and artificial intelligence that Golden Wind has always been proud of are not impossible for us to break.

But the problem is -

All of this takes time.

It was originally planned well.

Let's first outline the prototype of the concept, which is commonly known as painting cakes.

After that, various fillings are added to the flatbread through version updates.

As long as we are diligent and hardworking, we will have sufficient funds.

It can take as long as three to five years, and as short as one or two years.

The virtual world will become our super weapon to dominate the new somatosensory era.

Just one **** word! Just an inconspicuous watermark!

You took it to dry the chicken feathers! !

"We can't do it,"

Aesop finally took a deep breath and had to wake up these two CEOs with unrealistic illusions from their daydreams:

"Now Golden Wind has almost monopolized most of the world's cutting-edge game production technology through industrial alliances, but we can only rely on Comella's self-developed engine,"

"We are not capable of achieving the quality of gameplay shown in the trailer..."

As soon as he talked about this, Aesop felt powerless.

Golden Wind's strategy is so smart.

Industrial alliances.

Perhaps Golden Wind was involved when this strategy was originally proposed.

But if you want to say that there is no one behind them to support you, even if you beat him to death, you won't believe it.

This strategy is as rogue as it gets, and it's watertight.

The core and ultimate secret is that you can't sue him for a monopoly.

Yes.

Although Aesop said "Golden Wind monopolizes the cutting-edge technology of the game".

But in fact, he is very clear that Golden Wind's behavior, theoretically speaking, does not form a monopoly fact.

Because fundamentally speaking, there are only three core technologies in the hands of Golden Wind -

Artificial intelligence, physical effects, and neural security, which has just been put into development and is still in the testing stage.

As for other aspects, whether it is the graphics of Phoenix, the sounds of Aurora Games, the reality enhancement of Fantasy Engine, or even the auxiliary technology of Yiyu Somatosensory, they all indirectly control it through their shareholdings and cooperative alliances.

The branches and branches of the entire "Golden Alliance" are complex and intertwined.

Both independent of each other, yet inseparable.

And the golden wind!

It is the core of this industrial alliance network!

In other words!

Although Golden Wind is not theoretically judged as a technology monopoly, it has actually formed a technology monopoly alliance with itself as the core!

Under the restrictions of this gangster monopoly, if Yunwei wants to perfect the concept of the virtual world, they must start research and solve it themselves.

Starting to study and solve technical limitations will inevitably consume a lot of time.

But now!

There's only half a year left until E3!

Where the **** could I steal so much technology from you?

For a moment, Aesop's words caused a long silence in the conference room.

What a big lie.

There was a completely unsolvable problem in front of them. No matter how stupid Kaunik was, he now knew how difficult the dilemma they faced was. But the problem is -

This was a dead end and he couldn't solve it.

On the one hand, it is the company's technical limitations, and it cannot be realized if it is boasted.

On the one hand, there is high pressure from the upper echelon of prestige. Without bragging, the sponsor cannot be stabilized.

And now.

If you want to find a glimmer of hope in the cracks, you can only—

"There is still half a year left. No matter how difficult it is for you, at least when E3 is launched, you must try your best to match our publicity effect,"

Cornick gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"At the same time, if you want to do a UICG again, you must maintain the popularity and expectations of the project."

Whaaaaaaaat—?

Hearing Kaunike's arrangement, Aesop's head got big!

Are you going to publish this kind of deceptive CG UI trailer?

Aesop was really sweating: "But the president..."

"Shutup! Aesop!"

Cornick interrupted him sharply:

"Just do it. Vivendi's trust and the company's treatment are not something you can win in a blink of an eye."

There is no turning back when the bow is drawn!

After some hesitation and thought, Cornick made a quick decision!

Dry!

Must do!

Now that they have created such a huge momentum, they have no chance to look back and must go all the way to the end!

After all, this time "Before the Catastrophe" is the only project that Yunwei has made with the efforts of the entire company so far, and it is the "world's first next-generation 4S-level game" as proposed in their report to Vivendi!

Now, the world's attention is focused on them!

If they dare to say anything at this time, the backlash will definitely be devastating!

Must do, must do, absolutely do!

"What the **** do I do!"

Snapped!

After the meeting, Aesop returned to his studio and slammed the meeting notebook on the table!

Put lightly!

He opened his mouth and said "just do it", I will do it if I am a hammer!

Give me a roll of newspapers and three briquettes and ask me to study ballistic missiles. No matter how hard I try, it won't help!

But now, the arrow has to be fired.

No matter how much he complained, the established facts would not change.

The appearance of a lie requires more lies to round it off.

And how to lie is a technical job.

Aesop quickly summoned the leaders of each Firebird group for a meeting.

The purpose of the meeting is also very simple -

How to sing the next scene.

Judging from the current situation, a strike is impossible.

The stage has been set, and both the organizers and the audience are full of expectations for them.

At this time, if you say "Sorry, we can't sing", then you will basically say goodbye to this industry.

Therefore, even if they bite the bullet, they still have to continue this deceptive drama.

And the so-called "if you are poor, you want to change"!

In this extreme situation, human creativity and imagination are fully stimulated.

Soon, after several rounds of discussions and brainstorming, a deviant development plan came into being -

If we join forces together, we will fight a family.

Yes.

Judging from the current situation, it is completely impossible for Firebird to create the virtual world in the trailer in just half a year.

So that's the case!

We might as well shrink the front!

The gameplay is complicated and cannot be perfected in half a year?

Then cut off the gameplay!

The map is too large and there is no time to render it all?

Then cut the map!

There are too many additional functions and you don't have the energy to perfect each one?

Then cut off the function!

Farming, infrastructure, entertainment, and territorial division are not easy to do, so cut them all off, and the gameplay is just survival!

Bars, hospitals, mountains and woods, and neon cities are difficult to create, so cut them all off and limit the map to one street!

Drinking, repairing cars, modifying firearms, and decorating houses are not easy to do, so cut them all off and keep only the basic functions of killing zombies!

Integrate all the development resources together and create a small-level game with zombie fighting gameplay as the only basic core, and the scene is controlled in a small street!

Aesop couldn't believe that they couldn't keep improving on such a small amount of work!

What?

What about the other stuff in the trailer, you ask?

How to realize diverse gameplay, vast maps, and rich functions?

How the **** do I know!

Let's wait until then!

What?

If you ask me, am I not afraid that the game will detonate a huge thunder after it is released?

Blow up the entire group?

I can't control that much anymore!

Let's wait until then!

Now!

Fire-breathing bird!

The most important thing!

It was under the spotlight that they boarded the E3 booth and firmly captured the attention of players and the global gaming community with this top-notch sketch demo they crafted!

As for what will happen after the game is officially released.

Aesop didn't want to think about it.

I dare not even think about it.

In short, what he can guarantee now is that after the game is officially launched, players can still experience some gameplay, some maps, and some functions after leaving the prescribed area of the trial demo.

That's right.

part.

"call-"

Having said this, Aesop could only calm down, close the notebook in front of him, and wave his hand:

"start!!"
