"I’m so shocked! I’m so shocked! You can play it like this???"
"No way? Operating mechs???"
"Old man, you’re serious!!"
"Ling Jing, I love you to death!!"
"My mind is blown, dude, what kind of performance is this!!"
"Damn it! I don’t want to spend another day in this broken metaverse in May!!"
......
At first, the viewers thought the players would be operating Titans alongside mechs. Now, it seemed that wasn't the limit of the game.
Lu Li seemed prepared to let players operate mechs in combat. If it were a typical PC game, they might not have been surprised.
But, don't forget, this was a VR game!
The absolute realistic control experience was not something easily achieved. If done poorly, a mech that felt like plastic would likely be hung on the pillar of shame and cursed at!
Since Ling Jing dared to present this scene, it meant they were ready to face the scrutiny of the public!
"This is absolutely the boldest attempt in the VR gaming circle!"
Mo Zhi crawled up from under the table and stated with certainty, "If you don't understand, I can give you a simple analogy."
"In VR game development, while everyone else is focused on character-level crawling, climbing, and jumping, Ling Jing has already started making super combat from a non-human perspective!"
"While everyone is learning to stand, crawl, and walk, Ling Jing has already started learning to fly!"
"You must understand, the most crucial aspect of VR games is immersion, and immersion stems from the physical sensory feedback mechanism. Human perspectives are easier because we have enough experience to simulate this perception."
"But for mechs, just think… we haven't yet created mechs of this caliber in games, let alone the experience of combat inside such a mech."
"If we were to still follow human sensory feedback mechanisms, it would result in something monstrous, making players very uncomfortable, like playing house."
"And what is the hardest part about mechs?"
"It's that cold, mechanical metallic feel… Imagine, sitting in the cockpit of such a behemoth, becoming one with it, running, jumping…"
Mo Zhi narrowed her eyes, as if hearing the gears grinding and clicking when the machinery operated.
The look of enjoyment on her face stunned the viewers in the live stream.
'Streamer, don't… don't do this… I just entered the sage mode…'
'Streamer, don't… no… don't stop, yes… yes, that's the expression…'
'Look at you guys, you've got no self-control (adjusting pants)'
'This is why I love watching Mo Zhi's streams, she always gives me dream material unintentionally?'
'Are you sure it's just dreams?'
......
The brothers really couldn't be blamed for losing control; the visuals were too enticing, making one's mind wander.
"What are you guys doing, getting off on my stream!!"
Mo Zhi's expression instantly changed when she realized what was happening. She covered her mouth with one hand and whispered, "Hurry up, if the mods come, there won't be another chance."
Mo Zhi, in a good mood, not only didn't show any displeasure but even joined in the fun with her viewers.
At this moment, the promotional CG was also coming to an end.
The duo of pilot and mech, set against the backdrop of raging flames, was so cool that Mo Zhi couldn't help but scream!!
"Oh oh oh!!"
"Oh oh yeah yeah yeah!!"
"This scene perfectly echoes the opening scene! BT-7274 is so damn cool!!"
[Titanfall - (Integrated)]
"Tsk tsk, integrated."
"Honestly, it's very fitting."
"I really look forward to the day the pilot and BT-7274 become one!"
Mo Zhi could confidently pat her 36D chest this time and guarantee she wasn't being lewd.
She really wanted to experience what a marvelous feeling it would be to operate a mech in the VR world.
After Ling Jing's promotional CG for "Titanfall" was released, it quickly sent shockwaves through major game studios in the industry.
Bai Zhiyuan, after finishing her work, received an urgent summons for a meeting.
Not only her, but also Liu Geng, Han Yue, and other key personnel responsible for the VR department were urgently summoned.
Clearly,
The release of "Titanfall" had made the higher-ups feel a sense of crisis.
Meanwhile.
At Pig Factory's Yan Jing Tower.
Upon the release of the promotional CG for "Journey of the Wind Traveler," the praise was overwhelming.
Wang Lei had been smiling from ear to ear since morning, "Lu Li is a genius!"
"Just by following his suggestions and technical guidance, the promotional campaign for 'Journey of the Wind Traveler' has achieved such great success."
"A true hero emerges from the youth!"
In fact,
They had been preparing the "Journey of the Wind Traveler" project for many years. Initially, they planned to release it on PC and mobile platforms, but the rapid rise of VR caught them slightly off guard.
Reluctantly, they had to rush the process, building VR elements upon the existing foundation, directly pursuing a three-pronged approach compatible with VR, PC, and mobile.
However, VR was, after all, different from PC. It wasn't just about the technical threshold, but more importantly, how to perfectly integrate VR's unique immersion mechanisms had become a perplexing problem for Pig Factory's game development department.
Fortunately, as the boss, Wang Lei treated Lu Li with respect and actively communicated with him to establish a good cooperative relationship. With Lu Li's guidance, not only was the problem solved,
but it also brought them new inspiration, ultimately leading to today's "Journey of the Wind Traveler" and the overwhelming praise from players.
"Seeing the great success of 'Titanfall,' I'm truly happy for Ling Jing!"
After watching the promotional CG, Wang Lei sighed, "The younger generation surpasses the older; we are all getting old. The future belongs to these young and vibrant fellows!"
"This creativity, this attempt, it's truly bold!"
Skipping the research and exploration phase, directly going for a mech perspective, haptic feedback, technical parameters, perspective simulation… these were all unresolved technical challenges.
A slight mistake, a deviation in immersion, and player experience would be greatly diminished, inevitably triggering a tsunami of criticism.
After all, everyone loves to build gods, then pull them down from their pedestals and trample on them.
No one could resist such temptation.
It could be said that Ling Jing was really going all out!
They were attempting a very bold gameplay!
Such a risk was far beyond what Ling Jing, still in its growth phase, could afford.
Of course, extremely high risks often came with unparalleled opportunities.
If Ling Jing truly managed to pull it off, then this June would hold much less suspense.
All of this was Wang Lei's analysis from a business perspective, weighing the pros and cons. If he were to consider it purely from an idealistic standpoint, he greatly admired Ling Jing's leadership.
Not everyone who has already achieved success is willing to continue forging ahead on the path of chasing dreams.
"Boss, why do you trust Ling Jing so much?"
His subordinate, Mi Shu, asked with some confusion. She was also aware that Ling Jing was undertaking a very risky attempt to break through technical barriers.
Gazing down from the 56th floor of Yan Jing Tower, Wang Lei's eyes gathered a sharp brilliance:
"Of course!"
"We shall wait and see!"
