Chapter 723 Promotional film
However, at the same time as the GA released the lost treasure demo, Chen Mo released a promotional video!
The content of the Weibo post was very simple,'mysterious seas' promo. All the scenes are in real life. "
The players hadn't even seen the video yet, but they were all dumbfounded when they saw the "note".
"The game name is out. It's called mysterious seas!"
"I feel like the name isn't as simple and crude as the lost treasure!"
"What's this? All the scenes are in real life?"
"Uh, isn't this the same strategy that was used in PlayerUnknown's Battleground?"
"You cut the scenes and clips of the game and used it as a promotional CG?"
"...Chen Zhao's slacking off. Thunderbolt movies has fallen. I'm heartbroken!"
"Yeah, isn't this the same strategy used in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds? but PUBG is mainly about the gameplay, the graphics aren't that important, but this ..."
"Will it work? I don't want the scene to be overshadowed by 'the lost treasure'."
Many players were instinctively worried when they saw the main text of this Weibo post. The so-called "using the game's real-life scene as a promotional video" was actually what PlayerUnknown's Battleground did, and the effect was not bad.
However, the problem was that PlayerUnknown's Battleground was a game that focused on playstyle. The graphics were not bad, but it was definitely not the best.
Many players felt that high-quality cinematics had to be edited frame by frame to ensure the quality. Using the game's real-life scene to directly produce CG was a more opportunistic method. It was often a fast-drawing that saved time, and the quality was not high.
As a treasure hunting and adventure game,"mysterious sea" 's graphics would inevitably be compared to GA's "the lost treasure", and if the graphics were bad, they would lose a lot of points.
Many players opened the video with some trepidation.
They were really worried. What if Chen Zhao got into an accident?
……
The video began.
Thunderbolt gaming's logo.
Thunderbolt gaming platform logo.
"Everything is destined, Nathan."
Under the bridge, young Sam and Nathan looked at the bustling lights in the distance, as if they were staring at their destined future.
"You, I, we'll go together."
"We are destined to find the treasure."
The camera changed, and the grown-up Sam and Nathan came to an underground secret room. They turned on the mechanism and opened the stone door in front of them.
"Heaven is waiting for someone to prove his worth."
A magnificent view flashed past. It was a Valley full of lush vegetation. In the valley, there were houses covered with vines. They were dilapidated as if they had gone through a long time. However, looking at the faintly discernible buildings in the distance, it was as if one could still imagine the prosperous scene of the past.
Sam and Nathan slowly moved forward, shocked by what they saw.
The camera quickly switched.
In the mysterious and deep underground tomb.
Mount qilimazaro, which pierced through the clouds.
At the bottom of the blue ocean with a wooden shipwreck.
"He spent a long time trying to get rid of this," said Sullivan.
"No," Sam said."That's what he should do in his life."
The villain appeared.
"We're a bunch of thieves, digging for things we shouldn't be digging for. "
"But you ... You're different from us,"
"I'm a treasure lover, and also a treasure hunter. "
"So, are you ready to find your own treasure?"
Car racing.
Combat.
A gunfight.
They escaped onto the plane.
It was a series of fast-paced exciting scenes.
The scene changed, and Alina appeared.
"I once promised that I would never do these things again," Nathan said.
"How long have we been looking for this?"
Nathan said,"a long, long time ..."
"Yes, for a very long time," Sam said,"just you and me ..."
"I didn't mean to offend you, but the others ... Really won't understand."
"If you don't lie to me, then you shouldn't lie to yourself," Alina said.
On the surface of the sea that was as blue as Jade, a speedboat floated.
"The treasures of these great Pirates in history are now within reach."
"Listen ... Nathan, I beg you this time. Let go of all this. "
"Go home and live a good life."
After a series of exciting scenes, the melody gradually came to an end. In the brief darkness, a voice asked in a low voice,"
"Have you ever thought about what would have happened if you had made a different choice back then?"
Nathan's back was to the camera and he said in a low but firm voice,"
"No, and I've never regretted it."
The video came to an abrupt end, and the game logo appeared on the screen: Mysterious seas!
……
After watching the video, many players were dumbfounded.
"Wait a minute, what did Chen Mo say? the entire thing is real?"
"That's impossible. I feel like the whole thing was done with cg!"
"I feel like even the hair on the character's head and the tiny scars on the cheeks can be clearly seen. And the character's expressions and movements, this precision, is this real game??"
"It's motion capture, right?"
"The motion capture can't be this perfect. To achieve this level of feeling, I'd probably have to manually adjust it."
"Hand tuning? The game had lasted for several hours, and he had to manually adjust all the movements? Isn't this a little too surreal?"
"Now I know why Chen Mo emphasized that this is a real scene. If he didn 't, people would really think that this is a whole CG!"
"In other words, when we entered the game, we saw this kind of high definition video quality? F * ck, isn't this a little too much? can the VR gaming pod support this? It'll be embarrassing if only the game cabin with the highest specifications can run!"
"It's still too early to say that the graphics are better than the lost treasure, but ... If this is a real scene in the game, it will definitely beat the lost treasure!"
This promotional video alone was not the best CG. The high quality cinematics that Chen Mo had spent a lot of money on before were almost as high quality as this one, or even slightly better.
However, the key was that the video was made using the real scene of the game!
Using real-life scenes to create CG effects was a huge gimmick, and many players didn't believe it, thinking that Chen Mo was exaggerating.
However, the video did reveal more information.
Although the entire video was connected with relatively fragmented mission fragments, the players could roughly guess the story's outline through these fragments.
Obviously, this was a story about adventure, family, and fate.
Unlike those traditional adventure stories, the male protagonist was faced with a dilemma between treasure hunting and family. He was struggling and wavering, but this didn't make him appear indecisive. Instead, it made his image even more well-developed.
