Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Since Atari's online promotion, it can be said that there is no pause at all, and various revelations are emerging one after another.

Even if there is no revelation on the game content, let's start from behind the scenes.

Game designers, level designers, actors including voice actors, etc., some of them take turns.

At this time, some players who followed Nebula Games and Chen Xu's official blog found that Nebula Games finally made a move.

It is still the familiar official blog-style propaganda. There is only a video attachment and a sentence on Chen Xu's official blog.

'I was born for a treasure, and I will seek my treasure. ’

Many players are no strangers to this text, because it was mentioned in the menu information collected by players before.

What really makes players care about is the video.

Excited players opened the video for the first time, and then everyone was shocked.

Is this picture serious?

Looking at the content of the video, countless players widened their eyes.

'Nathan Drake, an insignificant little thief. ’

As the ruins collapsed, Nathan Drake threw himself towards a gold coin engraved with a skull mark.

'Will be born and die for a treasure. ’

'I guess that's how people see me. ’

'And that's how I'm remembered. ’

'But I'm not that kind of person. ’

The next moment the camera misses that gold coin, behind which his brother Sam Drake is about to fall into the abyss.

Nathan Drake, who pounced, wanted to grab Sam's arm.

'Everything is meant to be, Nathan. ’

Under the bridge across the river, young Nathan and Sam looked at the neon city in the distance.

‘You, me, we are together, we are destined to find treasure. ’

The next moment they came to a cave, and with torches and weapons in their hands, they opened a relic trap.

‘Heaven is waiting for those who have proved their worth. ’

Passing through the dark cave, Nathan Drake and Sam Drake looked into the distance in shock.

The valley covered with lush green vegetation, the dilapidated and dilapidated house covered with green vines, tells how long it has gone through.

The buildings faintly discernible in the distance were submerged in the water.

Incredibly spectacular, extremely shocking.

'This is it, another treasure in my hands. ’

In the flames, Nathan Drake looked at the coin marked by the island in his hand with complicated eyes.

Beside him were countless treasures of gold and silver, before Nathan Drake tossed the coin into the sky.

‘How many opportunities have I lost…to return to normal? ’

With the coin flip, a series of pictures flashed.

In the office, Nathan Drake kept stamping the documents, his expression was dead, and at home he held the dishes and stared at the pictures on the wall in a daze.

'It took him a long time to get out of this shit! ’

'But that's what he wants to do. ’

Sam had an argument with Sullivan before going to sea.

'I was born for a treasure, and I will seek my treasure. ’

Riding a motorcycle and facing an armored vehicle like a tank dashed on the streets.

A series of gunfights and explosions.

From the city to the forest to the sea.

'I made a promise that I would never do this again in my life. ’

Holding the clues he just discovered, Derek, who was excited, pushed open the door and looked at Elena in the house, and his expression suddenly froze.

'If you don't lie to me anymore, you shouldn't lie to yourself anymore. ' said Elena in tears.

A series of adventures followed.

Sullivan, Elena, and Nathan Drake.

The picture returned to the house, and Nathan Drake was just speechless.

‘How long have we been looking for those treasures? ’

'Very long time……'

'No offense, but they just don't understand. ’

A series of fragmented footage cuts the final scene back to the Burning Treasure Land.

The gold coins thrown into the sky slowly fell.

Firelight and gold coins reflected Nathan Drake's face.

'Then there is only one question left...'

'Is it all worth it? ’

………………

The entire promotional video is finished.

All the players who watched the video were all excited.

'Oh my God, this scene is so good! ’

'This picture is too explosive, is this serious? ’

'Not only the pictures, but also the scenes of the game, the whole process is really hot, gunfights, fights and explosions, it feels like it doesn't stop at all! ’

'That's right, that's right, especially the explosion of the fire feels more awesome than some movies! ’

'Can't you be awesome, haven't you read the previous news, all the explosion scenes in the game are modeled and blasted with real-life production! ’

'Fuck, so fierce? ’

Many players are very excited to discuss after watching the promotional video of "Uncharted".

Nebula Games has only done two promotions so far.

For the first time, there are various Easter eggs added to the VR theme.

Reveals the setting of the game, and the life history of the protagonist Nathan Drake.

Shambhala, Golden Land, Pirate Paradise... Countless legendary ruins have been discovered by Nathan Drake.

This time, it's about the gameplay of the game.

A series of hot scenes, racing, gunfights, explosions and various legendary treasure ruins can be described as everything. .

But this video actually released a lot of information, that is, the content and plot of the game.

Although the video does not directly tell the entire game story, there are many fragments and dialogues with the lines.

Through these clips and dialogues with the lines, players can basically guess the outline of the story.

Obviously, Uncharted is a story about adventure, family.

Nathan Drake wants to find those legendary treasures.

But at the same time he is not one of those great pirates in history.

Because what he yearns for is not the treasure itself, but the meaning of discovering the treasure.

But he has to make a choice between his family and a stable life.

The entire story flow of "Uncharted" can be felt by just watching the promotional video.

A hot adventure, interspersed with emotional lines about family responsibilities or love.

Not only players, but also designers in the game industry were also surprised by the pictures of "Uncharted".

Although it is not a VR experience, it is just an ordinary video, but from the perspective of screen performance, it is definitely a CG-level existence.

And judging from the details in the video, many designers only have one feeling, that is: harsh!

Although the loading technology on the game warehouse side has improved.

It does help the game's screen performance, but it won't improve so much!

Could it be that Nebula Games has become more insane, making players read a five or six minute note before entering the game?

Many designers in the industry expressed shock.

But then according to the information released by Nebula Games, many designers in the industry showed a stunned expression.

Why is there such a prominent picture performance?

Because judging from the content released by this "Uncharted Sea", this turned out to be a thread game!
