Chapter 298 Pokémon is officially released!

Photos of Ubisoft picking up the plane quickly spread to China, and many netizens ridiculed them.

 ‘Big shot? He is really a big shot! ’

 ‘The old thief has always been in China, and suddenly I really want to know how foreign players feel. ’

“It’s like when someone says they want to go to a scenic spot, everyone is excited, but I am as stable as an old dog, because I grew up in the scenic spot. ’

 …

But as the picture of Ye Feng at Ubisoft came out, Ubisoft’s recruitment for stunt actors was closely followed.

 Ubisoft’s requirements are not many. Submitters need to bring their usual sports works and resume.

 In addition, we first invite those who are closer to us to record first. Under the same conditions, distance is given priority. We will follow up by inviting others to record to see if anyone can perform more powerful actions.

　　When news of this incident reached the country, everyone was speechless.

Just the distance priority alone has already rejected countless people.

 The four people who were invited are very close to each other, and it takes almost half a day to reach Ubisoft's headquarters.

 The four people who had arrived were invited to a specific room to wait. They looked around curiously.

 We have all been to many corporate companies, but rarely come to game companies.

Compared with other companies, the majority of people here are obviously young people. There are various game elements everywhere in the company, and the table is also filled with figures of various characters. In a company with strong technological elements, there are game elements everywhere Large poster cover image.

 Huge one-to-one character modeling figures can be seen everywhere.

At this time in the living room, the four of them looked at the surrounding decorations and the giant figures placed everywhere. Their one-to-one NPC models were even painted with hair and detail. The four of them stretched out their When his hand was about to touch it, he took it back.

"You can touch it." The Ubisoft staff was in the reception room. Seeing the four people trying to touch the models around them, they couldn't help but smile with their eyes bent.

 “This is so handsome!”

“I know this game, I really liked it before! You know, when Ubisoft put out a call for submissions, I signed up without any hesitation!”

 “I have loved your games the most since I was a child.”

 …

Several people were talking about it. Ubisoft has a long history. It was established in 1986. It can be said that it has accompanied countless people in their childhood.

 “That’s great.” A person touched his favorite character in front of him. "I never thought in my life that two of my favorite gaming companies would be collaborating."

 Lao Zei has dominated the entire game market with absolute dominance. It is a carnival for players and a dark moment for other game companies.

 “This time I will definitely fight in my best condition!” The man who spoke looked at the three competitors around him with fighting spirit in his eyes.

 Among these three people, he feels that only the other two are competitive.

Out of the three, one is an ordinary professional athlete like myself, and the other two are extreme action athletes.

 The most important thing is that the prize money for this shooting is extremely generous, and the competition is extremely fierce.

While several people were discussing, the door of the living room was pushed open. The leader was an executive from Ubisoft. Next to him was Ye Feng, followed by two Ubisoft designers.

 “Everyone, nice to meet you.” Ubisoft’s executive looked at the four people with a smile that couldn’t be hidden in his eyes.

“Now we need to play the action we want to record for you, and then ask you to move to a special recording venue. During this process, our Black Star designer will explain the action needs this time.”

 He winked at the staff around him, and the staff quickly went to the computer to operate.

 The lights in the living room began to dim, a white curtain lowered above the wall, and a clear picture began to be projected on it.

A few people looked at it very seriously, lowering their heads in thought from time to time, as if they were thinking about what they should do when doing this action.

 After watching the video, few people said anything because the actions in the video were cool enough.

 This is another good game!

 This is what everyone is thinking now.

 “In a virtual game, he can survive.”

"But if it is a real physical model, death is almost certain." Ye Feng looked at the video and said, "But in the world of the game, when you treat him as a real existence, they have no concept of immortality."

"So what I need you to do is, for example, you have a truth in your heart from the beginning. Maybe you are only 90% sure of the truth in your heart at the beginning, but later it may reach 99%, and later it may become 99.9%. It's not going to be 100 percent."

“Because the gap in the middle can only be made up with a leap of faith.”

 “Use the power of faith to overcome doubts and what is usually considered impossible by reason.”

“Use faith to help people regain the hope that ‘everything is possible’.” Ye Feng thought for a long time last night before he figured out how to define a leap of faith.

After Ye Feng finished speaking, even the people at Ubisoft fell silent. This was the first time they heard Ye Feng’s views on Leap of Faith.

After understanding this idea, they watched the video on the screen and immediately discovered many problems.

These movements are more like completing a task, mechanical movements, the limbs are fixed according to the requirements, and there is no stabilization of one's own thoughts in it.

 The athletes who heard these words lowered their heads and thought seriously about what Ye Feng wanted to express in his words.

“It doesn’t matter, we can go to a special venue to experiment first.” The Ubisoft executive said with a smile.

 There is nothing that can be easily tested directly. If there are too many things to talk about, it is better to skip them.

 Ye Feng also nodded. Only after reading it could he make a better selection.

“How high is the platform this time?” Among the four athletes, a bald man asked the question in his mind.

“Let me give you an example. Generally, the height for men’s diving is 23-28 meters.”

“This time, the platform we prepared is 27 meters in preparation, and then gradually raised to 38 meters.” Ubisoft’s executive said.

“We will put in place a lot of protection during this period, from safety belts to network drop buffer protection under the diving platform, to ensure everyone’s safety at all levels.”

"If, if something happens, of course this is a scene that none of us want to see."

"But everything is unexpected. We will sign a contract and compensation with you. If something happens, your family will receive a higher compensation." He started to say it first.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Feng with some fear. He also felt that his initial idea was a bit impulsive.

But if Ye Feng agreed to his idea, he would definitely not set up such a high jumping platform.

The venue was chosen in a gymnasium, which was converted from a diving platform, and the original pool was turned into countless protective measures.

 Before the motion capture actors go up, in addition to wearing countless motion capture equipment, they also need to wear protective equipment.

 A single piece of equipment is not heavy, but when two pieces of equipment are stacked together, it looks a bit bloated.

“In order not to distract everyone, when one person is doing motion capture, I hope that other people can wait outside.” Several staff members came forward to register the motion capture order, and kindly reminded that this was just for everyone’s safety.

 Because they are action actors, this height, which is particularly scary in everyone’s eyes, may be just a little difficult in their eyes.

  But the biggest one is the psychological pressure caused by competition.

 A few people have already mastered the essentials of the movements, and the motion capture is just to demonstrate the physical emotions involved.

In just a moment, a few people finalized the jumping order, and those who didn't take their turn followed the staff outside and waited patiently.

 Ubisoft executive stood next to Ye Feng, "Do you think the people this time are feasible? They are indeed much better than the people I hired for motion capture before."

 This is the last session, and he is extremely looking forward to the recording ending soon.

He can’t wait to replace the motion capture model, start promoting the game and put it on the shelves.

 Even he can’t wait to start the production of the second game.

The first motion capture officer not far away was ready, and the staff carefully helped him confirm safety issues over and over again.

 At this point, no one has too much.

 They watched the first motion capture personnel take the prepared elevator to the top floor.

 Ye Feng looked at that height very seriously.

The 27-meter high platform is almost as high as jumping off a building. Fortunately, it is indoors. If it is outdoors, you have to consider the wind force. If the wind is stronger, the free-falling person may deviate from the trajectory and fall beyond the safety measures. The place.

The man on stage looked down. He was a high diving athlete. For him, this kind of height was just a common occurrence during training.

This time we need to record two versions, one is the posture of falling into the haystack with the back facing down.

 One is the normal diving posture.

 Diving is not a difficult task for them.

The main scene recorded this time is also the first one, where the hands are spread and the back is turned downwards.

 He glanced at the equipment on his body and then at the protective measures below. After confirming that they were correct, he jumped down.

 The whole action can be said to be perfect.

But Ye Feng still frowned after reading it, and even Ubisoft's executive didn't speak.

They were silent. This action was perfect, but they didn't know what they could find fault with.

 The first jumper gets off the protective platform and is unequipped by the staff.

 Ye Feng and Ubisoft’s executives stood in front of the computer, watching the motion capture video just now.

“After listening to your thoughts, I feel like no matter which video I watch, it’s a little less interesting.” Ubisoft’s executive sighed.

 He looked at the testers behind with some worry, worried that none of them would be satisfactory to him.

"You're a good jumper. Please go aside and take a rest. We need to collect everyone's jump data." He smiled politely at the jumper who just walked over. The man nodded to express his understanding. He continued He passed a bottle of water and walked to the chair prepared next to him, waiting for the next person to come on stage and start his performance.

 Then the testers went up two in a row, and each one's concealment movements were perfect, one was even better than the other.

There is no hesitation when taking the leap. Everyone at Ubisoft feels that this is how their ideal Leap of Faith should be.

 But when watching the video, I always feel a little bit worse.

　　Until the last person entered the venue, the first thing he saw was Ye Feng and the Ubisoft executive standing in front of the computer, frowning slightly, and then glanced at the other staff present.

 No one said anything, and they still maintained their unconcealed enthusiasm in the face of these testers, but there was still a touch of disappointment in it.

He knows all the other three jumping testers. Although he is not a professional actor, there will definitely be no problems with jumping.

 “Why?” After putting on the corresponding equipment, he was slowly lifted up on the lifting platform.

This time, he stood on the edge of the diving platform and did not jump off immediately.

Several people looked at him intently, especially the other testers.

 Why not jump?

 They believe that just like what Ye Feng described before, this jump should be decisive and without hesitation.

 Leap down and show your last faith in life.

　　The man on the stage did not speak, and the people below did not urge him.

 This is no ordinary sport.

 Everyone is very patient, because if he can prepare his emotions well and make the most perfect jump, the waiting time will be nothing at all.

The bald man on the stage closed his eyes, and his mind began to slowly recall the story roughly told to them by the Ubisoft staff.

  He also carefully recalled what Ubisoft staff said about the protective device here.

‘Even without safety belt protection, it can ensure that it will be cushioned very strongly after falling, and there will be no life-threatening danger. ’

 He thought about this sentence seriously and finally opened his eyes.

 He took a look at the protective measures on his body and made a bold decision.

 He unbuckled the seat belt.

 Those who were always paying attention to his condition were suddenly shocked.

 “Stop jumping!” Someone immediately shouted angrily below! "This testing activity will stop here!"

The bald man on the stage took a deep breath. He felt that the reason why the Leap of Faith was called the Leap of Faith and the reason why it was called the Assassin's Initiation Ceremony was because it was their first time to jump.

They should climb up cautiously, take a bird's-eye view, climb down cautiously, and then make a mental struggle, then climb up again cautiously, take a bird's-eye view, and then take a leap of faith.

Furthermore, hasn’t Ubisoft already taken the best safety measures?

He is an extreme sports actor and has been walking on tightropes all year round. He just likes extreme sports and does not risk his life, nor does he jump from tall buildings stupidly.

 But this time, he really needs to jump.

 As for Ubisoft's guarantees, no safety guarantee is reliable.

He slowly stood up straight. At this moment, listening to the voice below, angry and urgent, he felt like an assassin in the story told by Ubisoft, trying to escape from the guards.

 Now it takes a leap of faith to escape their pursuit.

 At this time, all the protective equipment on his body has been removed, leaving only the motion capture equipment.

Facing the protective measures below, he did not hesitate.

 Leap down!

Several fellow testers who were sitting on chairs had already stood up from their positions. They looked intently at the direction of the fall. There were screams and shouts from everyone in the venue.

　　A dull sound of falling came from the protective device, and Ubisoft staff quickly rushed to meet it.

"You!" Ye Feng was anxious at that time, and rushed forward with the others.

  He likes to make games and restore, but he cannot accept that someone loses his life because of a motion capture.

The bald man in the cushioning mesh bag had already struggled to get up from the mesh bag. In addition to the cushioning mesh bag, there were also various safety cushions for protection.

 When everyone walked in, he slowly struggled out.

The big toothed flower kept rubbing its limbs.

“Call an ambulance!” Ye Feng snorted coldly, “Don’t move any more and lie down!”

The staff hurriedly called for an ambulance, and Ye Feng was even more angry!

"I jumped this time, are you satisfied?" The bald man took a deep breath. He took a look at the protective measures just now. They were indeed well protected. He only felt a little pain in his body now, but it was still within the range he could bear. Inside.

"Do you know that you almost died!" Ye Feng wanted to go up and slap him twice, but he was afraid that he would have internal injuries.

 “I understand!” He looked at Ye Feng with a big toothy smile. "I realized it the second I went up!"

"I'm fine! Go watch the video!" He chuckled, and several testers who were traveling with him also came over to carefully check his physical condition.

 They are all athletes and know when something is wrong and when it is okay.

 After checking for a long time, they nodded to Ye Feng, "There is indeed no big problem, but we have to go to the hospital for a checkup later."

 As they said that, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the person just now. Everyone was just here to test, not to die.

 They really admire this guy's courage.

 After getting confirmation from several people, Ye Feng followed the Ubisoft executive back to the motion capture equipment.

 They watched the video of the person jumping again.

 Just looking at it this time, I already have a different feeling.

 It was not because he was not wearing the equipment, but the moment he took off the equipment, everyone could feel that at that moment, he himself was afraid.

 Ye Feng watched the video carefully.

 After reading it, he nodded.

 Ubisoft executive also looked at the content in the video with surprise. He found that what he wanted was that moment of fear.

The moment he saw this video, he understood why he was not satisfied with the previous videos.

 Because this leap of faith is to express the kind of belief or acceptance of something that is without reason and beyond the scope of reason.

Only a seemingly absurd belief can ten people regain the hope that "everything is possible".

“So that’s it.” Ubisoft’s executive found himself understanding what a true leap of faith was.

 He believes that after the game is released, players will be pleasantly surprised by the game!

Assassins believed in the creed of the organization for thousands of years. Although they were irrational, illogical, and unprotected, they chose to jump from high places, and finally achieved miracles because of this belief.

Faith is not governed by reason. Faith is the highest passion of mankind.

You leap forward and believe it.

 He carefully saved the video just now. This is the most perfect action template.

Looking at the bald man who was still sitting on the ground waiting for their response, Ubisoft's executive bowed seriously to the people around him, "Everyone's jumps are also perfect, but I think we have got the most suitable one." Our leap of faith.”

 Those who come to take part in the test will be paid in the end, it’s just the amount of the final remuneration.

Those people also nodded.

 They also watched the video just now, and naturally knew that he was the winner, so they jumped with a little fear and a little awe.

“Save this video, replace the existing action template, and start the actual promotion and release of our game!”

"As for you?" Ye Feng looked at the man sitting on the ground, "After you come back from the hospital, we will educate you about safety issues."

The bald man on the ground just bared his teeth and said nothing, just sitting there and giggling.

 Ubisoft acted quickly and released a piece of content on the same day.

　　【"Assassin's Creed" is ready and will be officially released in one month! 】

Along with the dynamic release, there is also a short video.

 It’s not a fight or a sneak attack.

Rather, it was an assassin with a hood whose expression could not be seen clearly. He climbed up the tall ancient building with some trepidation. He had a bird's eye view of the world, and then he jumped.

The video ends abruptly at this point.

On the darkened screen, the large characters of Assassin's Creed were rendered in gold.

 Then there is the logo of Ubisoft x Budding Studios.

 ‘Gan! It’s about to be released! ’

 ‘Damn it, I just signed up and you already picked the role? ’

“I have to say that this jump is indeed much more handsome than the previous videos posted during the collection, and I don’t know who did it. ’

　　‘Really handsome! ’

 …

“Now that it’s settled, I’m going back.” A week later, when all the work was ready, Ye Feng officially said goodbye to the people at Ubisoft Studio. "Our Pokémon has also entered the period of promotion and release."

 The people at Ubisoft Studio were a little reluctant to give up, but they also knew that they couldn’t delay the work of the old thief.

Although they have only been together with Ye Feng for a few days, they have already understood each other's serious attitude towards games.

 Perhaps this is also the most charming aspect of his game. Just like a leap of faith, everything is possible.

 Most people in the world are rational. They are realistic, full of commitment and responsibility for the world, and clearly understand the morals, ethics, and precepts of the world.

 Rational people also know that the world is full of limitations and impossible.

 But he is different. He is using his creativity to constantly tell everyone,

 The world is full of possibilities.

“Aren’t you afraid of colliding with the games we publish?” Ye Feng was talking about Pokémon.

If you calculate the time this way, Assassin's Creed coincides with the release of Pokémon.

"Of course not. You also said that this is a battlefield measured in years." The Ubisoft executive looked at Ye Feng and smiled sincerely.

“I’m really looking forward to the arrival of the second year.” Ubisoft chuckled. When the works year after year hit EA’s face, he wanted to know what EA would say.

"I'm also looking forward to the release of your game." Ye Feng felt his scalp go numb when he thought of the death penalty.

“When we make money, we will definitely buy more works.” Ubisoft’s executive said seriously.

 With the last parting hug, Ye Feng embarked on the flight back to China.

“Let’s put out another Pokémon trailer, and the promotion has officially started!” After getting off the plane, Ye Feng sent a message to the Propaganda Department.

 When the promotional videos for each version began to be promoted in sections, the players were all shocked.

What pdd and Principal Wang showed were only two regions.

The two of them have opened up the gym in the past few days, but the areas they chose are mutual, in order to facilitate the two of them to communicate online.

Now that I saw the official video, everyone found that there were more areas than imagined.

 ‘The next few areas are really unfamiliar. ’

  ‘md, the animations haven’t been put to the back yet, the games have come out. ’

　　‘Random spawn point, so can I also bring the Pokémon from the previous area? ’

 …

  Under the promotional video, players have questions one after another. The biggest question is whether Pokémon can continue to be used when the gym is opened in this area and goes to the next area.

 In response to this, Sprout Studio has given a reply.

 After you open the local gym and go to the next area, you will start the challenge again at the next gym, unlock the badge, and then unlock the level.

 Pokémon of the corresponding level in the backpack can continue to be used when they reach the unlocked level.

Players asked questions one after another, and Sprout Studio would only select a few frequently asked questions to answer.

 Because after entering the game, you can get the answers you want to many questions in the game.

After Germination announced the release date of Pokémon, EA secretly sent a message to Ubisoft.

"Why did you crash with the old thief? Although I believe your game is also a good game, the experience of crashing is really bad." He has been through it, so he naturally knows the discomfort in it.

 The last time Escape and Battlefield were released at the same time.

 Fortunately, the process of horror games is not long, some people even put it in the warehouse without playing it, and there are also online multiplayer games to retain people. Many factors prevented Battlefield 1 from being too affected to take off.

 “It’s okay.” Ubisoft just replied with two words.

“Why is this okay? The release date of his game is clearly stated. You can definitely postpone it for a while, at least until the popularity of his game has passed.”

"It's okay, we have a long plan." Ubisoft said nonchalantly.

If they heard EA say this before knowing that Assassin's Creed is a series of games, they would definitely be in chaos.

Although they are all games made by old thieves, if the sales are dismal, they will be scolded by players. How can you make such a good game like this?

 But now, after knowing that it was a series, they became less anxious.

 Because even if the sales this year are a little slow, when the new game is released next year, it will drive the sales of the previous game.

 Word of mouth is passed down from generation to generation, and after the release of one game after another, the sales of the previous game will be boosted again and again.

“Huh?” The EA executive was stunned. In addition to gossiping, he was also teasing Ubisoft.

The most interesting thing is watching old veterans jumping around in a hurry.

 It’s just that he didn’t expect that no matter what he said, Ubisoft was not in a hurry.

 There is no rush at all,

 On the contrary, he is very confident in his own work.

 “Is it so great? Is it really so strong?” EA’s executive frowned.

EAT now has its flagship Battlefield 1 game. Is its single-player game really that strong?

 But no matter what he thought, he couldn't get a definite answer.

No matter what message you send in the middle, the other party’s answer is only two words.

fine!

 Amid much anticipation, Pokémon was finally officially released.

Seeing that the number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly decreased, he touched the corners of his mouth with some appreciation.

 Don’t let others be greedy.

 pdd also sighed long and regretfully,

 “How come you can play?” He was talking about barrage.

　　‘Human words? I've been waiting for so long, and now you say, "How can you not play anymore?" ’

 ‘md, cancel it directly! ’

'My friend and I are not from the same area. I asked her to catch some local elves for me, and I caught some elves from my side for him. Then we went to another new area and exchanged what we wanted there. thing. ’

　　‘I downloaded it, there are so many pictures, it’s really cool! ’

 ‘It seems that each area has its own exclusive ability, Zhu Zi is too crystalline! I heard that other areas have Gigantamax and super evolution. ’

 …

Players are happily talking about the content of the game.

 Everyone's spawn point was random at the beginning, but no one was unhappy.

 Because as long as you open the gym in your area, you can go to a new place.

 And this is exactly the meaning of the journey.

 In the past, parents who bought handheld consoles for their children plugged them into the base.

"Wait for me to study it and teach you." The parent held the controller in his hand, while the child sat obediently next to him, eagerly looking at the controller in his hand and the picture on the TV.

 “Dad, are you okay?”

“Wait for me to study it again. It’s a bit complicated, including character, and attribute restraint. Wait until I learn how to teach you.”

 “Dad, I know this, I understand.”

“Do you understand? No, I’ll teach you after I understand it thoroughly. Otherwise, I won’t be able to tell you what to do if you’re wrong.”

"dad…"

 “Wait a moment.”

"dad…"

 “Wait a hundred million more…”

 …

This scene happens in almost every family.

Major anchors have also been assigned to various regions, but everyone is still not unhappy because of the separation.

 Because most of the games played by the old thief are played by oneself.

 “I’m in Kanto, where are you?” The first area he unlocked was red.

 “I’m in the dark, boss!”

 “I am the sun!”

 “I am a pearl.”

 …

The names revealed by several friends are all different.

 The areas opened by everyone are different.

"Okay, let's each play our own way. You don't have to keep the Pokémon with me. I'll catch them myself." Yinzi chuckled, "You guys can catch the ones I can't catch in the other version. Then we'll catch them." exchange."

He thinks that playing games is interesting only when you have to catch them yourself.

 If it were not the other of the two versions, he would not choose to exchange.

 After entering the game, there are several characters for you to choose from.

 At a glance, he saw the very familiar little boy, Xiao Chi.

 It’s him!

There will be another chapter later. Let’s read it in the morning.

　　

 (End of this chapter)
