After the live broadcast, Liu Liang spent more than two hours and successfully passed the VR version of "Zen".
Because the current live broadcast function of VR games is not perfect yet, he can only leave the audience and eat alone.
As for how to evaluate this VR version...
I can’t say that there is not much difference from the PC version, I can only say that it is exactly the same.
This gameplay hasn’t changed at all!
Originally, Liu Liang had some unrealistic expectations for the VR version of this game.
After all, the current VR is already the fifth generation of VR technology, which can realize consciousness connection. In other words, the player's operations in the virtual world are almost exactly the same as those in the real world.
Although this technology is still developing, there is currently no game that can achieve 100% fidelity and interact with everything in the game, but some games have already begun to explore it.
For example, some of the latest shooting games have implemented a series of operations that are exactly the same as in reality, such as dismantling, loading and even jamming of firearms.
Most of the games that have been released in the VR version will make use of this consciousness connection technology to some extent. At least in terms of operation, it is very different from the PC version.
Otherwise, why would you have the nerve to sell it so much more expensively than the PC version?
However, the producer of the game "Zen" has no such awareness at all!
The VR version of "Zen" does not have any unique design for the VR version at all, it just copied the operations of the original PC version.
For example, in the chapter "Prison", it was originally possible to press the ASDW four keys to move and the mouse to move the perspective, but now the player can move freely; in the chapter "Tree", it was originally possible to press the AD two keys to rotate the perspective, but now
It becomes the player trying to control the shaking of the body to rotate the perspective; the chapter "Mountain" was originally about pressing keys to play music, but now a virtual translucent piano keyboard appears in front of the player to play music.
Just highlight a violent transplant!
You still shamelessly sell it for 10 yuan, which is double the price of the PC version. How about your face?
Of course, if you have to say it, this 10 yuan cannot be regarded as a loss. After all, the materials of this game are really very accurate.
The VR version is even more obvious.
You must know that consciousness-connected VR games have much higher accuracy requirements for materials than the PC version.
The technological level of this world is developing very rapidly. On the PC version, 4K resources have completely replaced 1080P as the standard, but on the VR version, 4K is far from enough.
To truly achieve an effect that is indistinguishable from reality, even if "real-time focus rendering technology" is used, 16K resolution and 240 frame rate are still required to fully achieve the effect of fake and real.
For VR headsets that use fifth-generation consciousness connection technology, the hardware level has reached it, but there are still many game developers' materials and resources that have not reached it, so many VR games on the market still feel very blurry when played.
As for the game "Zen", it doesn't feel fuzzy at all, which shows that its VR version material is ultra-high-definition, which is enough to kill most of the old VR games currently on the market.
"Okay, we can almost put the final word on this game.
"Then the question is, which category should I put it in? This is related to my prediction accuracy and ten thousand yuan..."
As a well-known UP host in the game area, Liu Liang has many different columns to introduce different types of games.
Among them, the two most popular columns are "It's going to be hot by visual inspection" and "Sooner or later it's going to be cold".
As the name suggests, the former is used to introduce those potential new games with novel gameplay and rave reviews, and is recommended; while the latter is used to introduce those games with cheating gameplay and poor reputation, and is intended to be complained about.
In fact, it doesn’t make much difference to the audience which column it is placed in. Many viewers don’t even pay attention to what kind of title the UP host has created.
But it is very important to Liu Liang, because the videos he makes are not only reviews, but also predictions.
Liu Lianghui released a video as soon as the game came out and predicted the sales and reputation of the game.
Moreover, in order to make this kind of prediction more exciting, Liu Liang also added a bonus: if the prediction fails once, he will pay 10,000 yuan out of his own pocket to reward the fans through lottery!
Playing is a thrill.
This kind of behavior is very risky, but the benefits are also high. It can make Liu Liang appear more professional than other game area UP owners.
Previously, he successfully predicted the overturn of several big-name games and the explosion of several niche independent games, attracting many fans and earning the title of "Prophet."
So what will be the reputation and sales of the game "Zen"?
If the sales and reputation are both good, then it should be placed in the column "Visually estimated to be popular"; otherwise, it should be placed in the column "Sooner or later it will be cold".
After some consideration, Liu Liang finally made the decision: it should still be placed in the column "Sooner or later it will be cold"!
Although this game is a bit new, it doesn't look much different from other cheating games. It will definitely not sell very well, and its reputation will be mixed at best, with a high probability of mostly negative reviews.
Well, it shouldn't be wrong.
After finalizing the tone and content of the video, Liu Liang immediately started editing the video.
What is most important to UP owners in the Internet era? Speed!
For the same hot spot, the heat can be dozens of times different between early onset and late onset. This is the so-called "early bird catches the worm".
Liu Liang also knew this very well, so he had to produce this video of "Zen" as quickly as possible.
The editing software in this world is also very developed. It not only has high-precision intelligent subtitles, but also has functions such as "intelligent rough cutting". AI can directly identify the material elements in the video and compare them with the keywords of the copy content to complete the process.
The initial rough cutting work.
The popularity of this technology has made many editors with average skills unemployed, but it has also given UP owners a qualitative leap in their work efficiency.
Liu Liang thought about it. He would stay up all night before going to bed today, cut out the video and post it. It would be automatically reviewed and published while he was sleeping!
Although the audience will complain about "murdering fans with late-night updates", it doesn't matter, after all, this has become his personality.
…
…
The next morning, Liu Liang was woken up by a call from his agent.
Many big anchors and UP hosts will have special agents, some are arranged by companies, and some are arranged by video websites and live broadcast platforms. These agents can also be regarded as operators, mainly responsible for daily work arrangements, channel resource contacts, etc.
Work.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another very important job, which is to help UP owners organize activities, such as lottery draws.
Liu Liang answered the phone in a daze, feeling a little dizzy due to lack of sleep: "Hello? What's wrong?"
The agent said: "Brother Liu, I have arranged the lottery. If you take a look and see if there is no problem, I will hang out."
Liu Liang was still in a daze at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly woke up: "Ah? Wait, what's the lottery?"
When do I want to draw?
Is it the video from yesterday?
No, how come the predictions in this video are overturned? Is it possible that that garbage game can still get most of the praise? This is impossible!
The manager explained: "It's the video you posted yesterday. Hey, I won't say more, just watch it by yourself. The fans are knocking on the bowl and waiting for you to draw the prize."
Liu Liang: "?"
He hung up the phone inexplicably and immediately found yesterday's video on his phone to check.
Video title: Sooner or later it will get cold! This is the most boring game I have ever played. It costs 5 yuan to simulate a tree?
Video views: 390,000, 10,000+ people are watching
The data looks pretty good.
"Moo~ Hello, dear breeders, I am your diligent old cow who updates videos thirty times a month.
"Today I'm going to complain about a new game called "Zen"..."
The content of the video is not complicated. Liu Liang didn't think too much when making it. He just edited his live broadcast video, paired it with his complaints about the game, and added some common video effects.
The video barrage quickly floated through various "hahahaha" and "23333", and the various interesting experiences in playing this game made the audience laugh.
“Finally, it’s time for the general comments and predictions that we love to hear.
“The art of this game is really good, especially the VR version, the accuracy of the materials is very high, but that’s all.
"As a sand sculpture game, it has a unique circuit and is very good. However, from a normal game perspective, it has some unclear meaning and not much fun. As for the artistry and profound connotation... I'm sorry,
I didn’t even see it at all!
“The vast majority of players probably won’t like a game like this, let alone spend money to buy it.
"Therefore, I make a bold prediction: The final evaluation of the game "Zen" will be 'mostly negative', and the sales volume will not exceed 50,000! Let us wait and see whether it will come true!"
At this time, the video has come to the end, followed by chatting with fans and asking for likes.
But just now, the progress bar shows that the amount of comments in this paragraph has reached the peak of the entire video!
"Hahaha, Brother Niu is careless. The predictions for this period have been completely overturned. The sales volume and reputation are all wrong!"
“Still, ‘mostly negative reviews’? I didn’t expect it to receive such rave reviews!”
"The sales volume is also completely wrong. This game has already entered the top ten best-selling independent games on the official platform today!"
"Brother Niu has exploded the gold coins! Hurry, knock on the bowl and wait for the draw!"
Looking at these barrages, Liu Liang fell into a state of confusion.
What the hell? rave reviews?
This garbage game received rave reviews on the official platform, and I ate the fish-screen monitor on the spot!
Liu Liang was very unconvinced, and he immediately opened the official game platform to check.
As a result, I almost couldn't believe my eyes.
What the hell? Why do you get such rave reviews?
Looking at the sales volume, it actually entered the top ten of the best-selling list that day!
Is this considered...a double harvest in terms of sales and reputation?
