Chapter 448: 442 Shock
Unlike Calvin who only plays single player games, Andrews participated in the beta testing, so of course, he could tell that the visuals in this movie were indeed recorded in-game by some players using the built-in video recording tool! From many aspects, and from the camera transitions, it was evident. But the voiceover was probably post-production.
“Alright, I’ll give it a go, but what did you just mention about this being the story of the Asuna Region client?” Calvin asked Andrews with a puzzled look. What did that mean? Did the storyline in the Asuna Region and Southern Federation differ? Shouldn’t such a network game be the same across the board? The only major difference should be the language, with other aspects like the system, maps, etc., being the same.=
“The gameplay content we can access is entirely different from what you could access on the Asuna Region client!” When it came to this, Andrews’s interest was instantly peaked, and he quickly elaborated.
“Why? Isn’t it the same game?!” Calvin was taken aback.
“It definitely is the same game! That’s the brilliance of it! Although we are playing the same game, the federation client and the Asuna region client are completely different, even professions, races, npcs, skills, etc., are different, it can be said that it’s totally two different games, the only same thing being the game system. According to the mysterious information released by the official, the maps we play and the maps on the Asuna region client are also different, but the gaming maps of the two are actually connected.” Andrews immediately spoke up, his face brimming with excitement.
“Between them, a mountain that players currently can’t cross connects them. I suspect there will be an expansion released in the future that will remove this mountain block, then we can go to the map client on the Asuna region side and play with the Asuna region players! And reportedly, there might be a PvP (Player versus Player) game mode available between the two parties!” Andrews spoke rapidly, “Can you imagine? A server with over 200,000 players in a PvP situation.”
“200,000?!” Calvin’s mouth fell open in amazement.
“That’s right! Exactly 200,000! Their game servers are so powerful, each one can accommodate 200,000 players, and we’re told our servers’ capacity will match that of the Asuna region client. When the time comes and our servers are connected, every one of our servers will correspond to each of theirs,” Andrews continued speedily.
At this point in the North Federation, although the attendance in the 2,600 cinemas was around 40%, almost all of this 40% were dedicated gamers, with less than one tenth being new audience members. In all the North Federation cinemas there are countless players discussing like Andrews and Calvin!
If they previously could only experience the game through official website screenshots and videos, this movie entirely shot with game footage allowed for a complete understanding of the entire game! It was astonishing! Shocking! The gaming graphics can reach this level!
The game content that Andrews and Calvin were discussing was the real purpose of Finn Lewis creating two clients! The concept of “factions” is weak! Creating two factions in a game while the majority of players are still from one country? Damn, I’ll just separate factions by regions! However, it does differ from other game factions, that is the two game factions are not entirely hostile!
For example, in Monster World, the Horde and the Alliance would see each other’s names in red! But it’s different with this game, when the two are connected in the future, players from the Asuna region side who see players from this side will not see their names in red, just as if they saw players from the Asuna region side, but because both sides are under the influence of the NPC forces of their own maps, these NPC forces are hostile to each other.
And there will be various types of opposing quests, which means that players from the two factions can team up and complete dungeons and so on under the overall opposition model.
For these game enthusiasts, this is exciting news, because from this video you can see how well-made this game is. But for many people, or shall I say, for all of Floral Village, this can be said to be the beginning of a change in the era!
With the emergence of this game, a change will occur in Floral Village! As the largest film company in Floral Village, many naturally have to save face for HQ. Thus, although many media outlets reported that this movie was destined to fail and so on, HQ still held a grand premiere. Unlike previous premieres, this one started directly at midnight, along with 1440 cinemas participating in the premiere.
And because of HQ’s influence, the number of Floral Village stars, directors, and film critics who rushed over still filled the entire cinema that could accommodate nearly 500 people.
When the movie ended, unlike the applause and excitement of the game players who watched the movie in other cinemas, a deathly silence prevailed in this screening room, because what people here saw was not the content of the movie, but what this movie revealed! What does this movie mean for Floral Village? It means a horrifying impact!
Those sitting there were all experienced people, who could describe this movie as well-made! But was the so-called well-made movie shot by game players themselves? What does that mean? This means that the rendering effects of this game can only be described as astounding! Absolutely shocking! What kind of rendering graphics are these?
Assuming this level of rendering quality, will Floral Village’s fantasy movies, as well as mythological movies, and some superhero movies and so forth, still need special effects companies in the future? This game can do it all! This would significantly reduce costs but not compromise quality. This is great news for production and distribution companies.
This is terrific news for directors as well! Although… it seems the filming scene has not much to do with the director! But if a game player’s video can reach such a high production quality, then wouldn’t this be easy for professional directors? Some directors thought that while the movie as a whole was good, the use of camera angles and shots could only be described as rudimentary. They thought that many scenes and story shots could have been executed more perfectly!
