I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Zheng Li from the Department of Medicine at Yannan University is looking forward to this live broadcast.

He filled out the questionnaire and applied for the test, but unfortunately he was not selected and became the lucky one to enter the Kingdom of Darkness.

I have no choice but to leave it to the cloud.

However, [Morning Star] does not provide a live broadcast interface, and there is no way to record and take photos in the game. Everything depends on the descriptions of the players, which is not enjoyable at all!

Even if these players "are so awesome and invincible" every day, Zheng Li doesn't feel anything at all.

He has played [The Conjuring Night] and knows the level of realism that this virtual reality device can achieve, so he knows very well how fun the game can be in an open world with the scope of the Kingdom of Darkness.

This feeling is like watching someone pick up delicious and expensive ingredients, but you can't see the cooking process or the final product. You can't smell it. You can only listen to other people's descriptions of "put a little salt and bring to a boil over high heat." Pale words, scratchy, hungry and thirsty.

Now at least Zheng Li can watch the live broadcast.

In fact, many people believe that the live broadcast is not Lu Tran's coup, but his helpless move.

Because there is no way to live broadcast the game screen, the outside world has been criticized for the completion of [Cage].

[Conjuring Night] achieves perfect picture presentation within the scope of a mansion, and the Kingdom of Night, according to players’ descriptions, is much larger than a room.

In this case, the amount of materials and textures is huge.

The first version of "World of Warcraft" took thousands of people five years of work. How long did it take to make this [Cage]?

Anyway, it must not have been five years, because five years ago, Lu Jian was still an unknown college student, the predecessor of Silent Games had just launched their first console, and Jiangcheng Industrial had not yet set foot in the game industry, and the entire industry was impossible. Possess technical reserves related to virtual reality.

In the words of professionals, creativity is the least valuable in this industry.

For example, open world, to put it bluntly, is to put things that people can do in reality into the game. As long as the closer to reality and imitating reality, the more open the game will be, plus some fantasy and science fiction operations, it will be a game. The underlying game logic.

But being able to do this requires the reserve and accumulation of technology.

The degree of freedom of movement in character modeling, the physical engines for climbing, jumping, fire and water flow, as well as the changes in light and shadow, and the swaying of the wind blowing through the forest. To complete these, a strong technical team is needed.

Moreover, the function of the game console itself is also limited. If a supercomputer is used, a lot of crazy codes can be implemented. However, given the configuration of the players, developers need to exhaust every memory and squeeze the CPU to achieve the goal. Let the game be realized in its most perfect way.

Therefore, although the industry recognizes Lu Jian’s creativity and expression, has the technology really reached that point?

They were skeptical.

This live broadcast is considered by everyone to be Lu Tan's self-certification. Whether he has eaten that bowl of noodles depends on the content of the live broadcast.

Of course, some people think that there is something wrong with Lu Tan because he does not open the live broadcast interface and only conducts official live broadcasts.

This is also a basic operation in the game circle. The pictures looked very impressive at the press conference, but in fact, when the real machine demonstration was completed, the actual machine demonstration shrunk like crazy. Every manufacturer has done this to a greater or lesser extent using CG to deceive people.

Before the live broadcast, Lu Jian also released a short warm-up video.

Zheng Li quickly came across this video on Weibo.

The content of the video is very simple. It is a scene of players walking, building, and planting in the town. It only lasts for less than one minute, and it is the kind of video that can be watched several times in one subway ride.

But, this picture is too real, right?

When Zheng Li played the game himself, although he thought the pictures were very good, he also had an idea that these pictures were the result of his own imagination. The pictures he actually saw were slightly inferior. The brain automatically corrected them into Such a beautiful look.

But when he saw the trailer, he was surprised.

Is this a game?

Is this really a scene from the game?

This light and shadow, this material, this action, are you sure it's not a real shot?

Zheng Li immediately pulled down. He saw that most people had similar thoughts to his own, and he was immediately relieved.

The last time he saw such a simulated scene was in a racing game. He once thought that the production team had found a real car, but traces of CG could only be seen in some details.

However, the material of metal is not the same as that of human beings. No matter how realistic the picture is, it cannot be mistaken for the real thing.

Therefore, Zheng Li felt that Lu Jian must have asked someone to shoot a promotional video, and paired it with the special effects technology he was proud of to make it look like it was in the game.

Although some players posted on Weibo that this was a real machine and sent photos of their own equipment to prove it, most people still thought it was a lie.

All the controversy points to the live broadcast. People are waiting for Lu Jian's live broadcast to see what the quality of the game is and whether it is really as amazing as the hype.

It's a mule or a horse, just take it out for a walk and it'll be fine.

Eight o'clock in the evening, prime time.

Zheng Li opened the official live broadcast room of the old video network.

The live broadcast room was full of people. He switched several lines before he found one that was not too laggy. Even so, the barrage was so thick that it was impossible to see the angle of the screen without some filtering and blocking. It was so dense. The level can only be matched by the national team entering the World Cup.

The countdown is counting on the screen, coupled with some conceptual design drawings of the Kingdom of Darkness, which builds up the sense of anticipation little by little.

At eight o'clock exactly, the screen went dark and the live broadcast started.

Zheng Li directly blocked all barrages to prevent them from blocking his vision, which caused the comment area on the right to keep scrolling, as if hundreds of people were driving unicycles at the same time.

The first thing he saw was a forest.

The dark, deep forest that looked like a living creature immediately attracted all of Zheng Li's attention. He didn't even notice that the comments that had been scrolling crazily on the screen stopped the moment the screen appeared.

Although this was just an ordinary forest, it showed a sense of oppression like a tsunami coming towards his face. Zheng Li saw comments being refreshed one after another next to him.

[Friendly reminder, you can breathe now]

Seeing this sentence, Zheng Li realized that he had forgotten to breathe just now!

He saw the camera shift and go into the forest.

In the layers of woods, a group of people walked. These people were wearing cloth clothes and holding various weapons in their hands. They were trembling and had serious expressions.

Zheng Li soon discovered that some of them were players who had previously self-certified.

Whatever he thought, these were real people.

Is Lu Kan going to show a live-action movie in front of the whole world to fool the audience?

Zheng Li didn't understand, so he continued reading.
