After the live broadcast, Liu Liang spent more than two hours to successfully pass 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, and there is currently no game that can achieve 100% fidelity and interact with everything in the game, 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. Where is 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 extremely accurate.
The VR version is even more obvious.
You know, consciousness-connected VR games require much higher accuracy of 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 the 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 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 instantly 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?"
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 cool".
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 cheating games with cheating gameplay and poor reputation, and is intended to complain.
But other UP owners basically release videos only after the game’s reviews are finalized. It can also be said that they only play in favorable situations.
The videos made by Liu Liang are not only reviews, but also predictions.
He will release a video as soon as the game comes out and predict the sales and reputation of the game.
This behavior is very risky, but the rewards are also high. It can appear that Liu Liang is 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."
But now, in which column should the game "Zen" be placed?
For the anchor, it really has a program effect.
But in the final analysis, this is still a cheating game! Although it is quite innovative in terms of cheating, it is impossible for this kind of game to achieve commercial success!
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Liang finally made the decision: Just put it in the column "Sooner or later it will be cold"!
The sales volume of this game will definitely not be very high, 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 production.
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 it with the keywords of the copy content to complete the process. The initial rough cut.
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, there is also a very important point: public relations.
When there is a problem with the video content of the UP owner, they must find out and remind them immediately. More seriously, they must also find ways to eliminate the negative effects.
Liu Liang answered the phone in a daze, feeling a little dizzy due to lack of sleep: "Hello? What's wrong?"
The manager's tone was not very good: "Brother Liu, what happened to your latest video?"
Liu Liang was a little confused: "What happened to the latest video?"
Could it be that the car overturned?
No, what's so great about this video? Is it risky to complain about a rubbish game?
The agent was a little helpless: "Go to the comment section and take a look! Think about how to remedy it!"
Liu Liang: "?"
He hung up the phone inexplicably and immediately opened the background to check the data of yesterday's video.
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
Seeing these data, Liu Liang was even more confused. Isn't the number of views quite high? It was close to 400,000 in one night and rushed to the home page. This is a really popular video rhythm.
10,000+ people are watching it, which means that this video is likely to exceed one million views. If the follow-up is strong, it will not be surprising to have more than two million views.
Isn’t the data pretty good?
However, looking down, Liu Liang felt cold in his heart.
Video likes: 12,000!
This number of likes is too low!
It stands to reason that the likes rate of some excellent niche manuscripts can even reach one-tenth. Even if the manuscript is relatively out of the circle and very popular, the likes rate should not be less than one-twentieth.
But now, the like rate is only one forty?
Judging from the data, there is indeed a trend of overturning!
But here comes the question, where did it turn over?
Liu Liang was puzzled. He was also an experienced game zone UP owner, and he knew very well how to avoid the audience’s minefield. Although he didn’t spend too long on this video, the content in it was considered over and over again. , it can be said that everything is stable, it should not overturn easily, right?
With doubts, Liu Liang clicked on his own video and carefully checked every comment, trying to find out what the problem was.
"Moo~ Hello, dear breeders, I am your diligent old cow who updates thirty videos 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.
For most of the video, the style is quite normal.
“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 about it.
"As a sand sculpture game, it has a unique and outstanding circuit, but from a normal game perspective, it has some unclear meaning and not much fun. As for its artistry and profound connotation... I'm sorry, I didn’t even see it at all!
"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 comes true!"
At this time, the video has come to the end, followed by content such as 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!
"Um?"
Liu Liang was keenly aware that the problem seemed to lie here, and turned to read the content of the barrage carefully.
"Hey, Brother Niu was still careless. He rushed out the video without understanding the game this time. It's not unfair to overturn the situation."
“Still, ‘mostly negative reviews’? I didn’t expect the rave reviews!”
"Already in the top ten of today's best-selling independent games list on the official platform 2333"
"Actually, the previous content is quite good, but the conclusion is too hasty. Brother Niu, don't you say you hate those UP owners who come to evaluate the game without understanding it?"
"Yes, I played it and felt that this game is not that simple."
"The predictions for this issue have been completely overturned, and the connotation of the game has not been explained. Although the content is quite funny, I still won't give you a thumbs up."
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. 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? How come it really gets rave reviews?
Looking at the sales volume, it actually entered the top ten of the best-selling list that day!
Is this...a double harvest in terms of sales and reputation?
Off the charts!
