After more than ten years of rapid development, the game industry has become a huge and important industry, not only in the country, but also in the international recognition is getting higher and higher. It can be said that with the continuous growth of domestic game developers, China has become the "world's largest game market", not only surpassing South Korea, but even the Japanese and American markets are far behind.
Recently, the famous game media IGN opened an annual poll on its official website "Which Unreal 5 game are you most interested in?" ”。 Among the nominated games are Black Myth: Goku, Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl, Dragon Quest 12, Hellblade 2: Xena's Sacrifice, and Scarlet Fall. Surprisingly, nearly 30% of players voted for Black Myth: Goku, which was a big surprise.
"Black Myth: Wukong" is highly respected in China, and there is no need to explain it anymore, after all, this is recognized as the most "domestic AAA masterpiece" temperament of the game, since the game real machine demonstration video was announced, it has attracted the attention of tens of millions of domestic gamers. What is surprising is that the expectation value of this game in the minds of foreign players is also so high, there is no doubt that the domestic game has never been seen before. It can be seen that domestic games have made a name in the global game market.
The global pursuit of domestic games is inseparable from the hard work of many domestic game developers. After all, although the domestic game market has great economic potential, the cruelty of competition is also "hell-level", which forces domestic game practitioners to do their best, on the one hand, to improve technical strength and research and development capabilities, on the other hand, to embrace traditional culture, in order to make their games stand out from the crowd and be concerned by players.
With the development of China's game industry in recent years, a number of "AAA-level games" have been born in China that are very successful and have great influence in the world. Like Mihayou's "Original God", relying on the two-dimensional culture, the beauty of traditional Chinese landscapes and unique open world gameplay, it has won the affirmation of many players around the world; while NetEase's martial arts online game "Against the Water Cold" has been evaluated by foreign media as the first place in "the world's top ten MMOs with the most cattle pictures" because of its outstanding picture performance and bold graphic technology, "blossoming inside the wall and outside the wall", which has attracted many overseas players to prefer to face the VPN and language barrier to find out.
In the famous social software Discord, foreign players have formed several "Against the Cold Water" discussion groups, each with thousands of more people. Although the process of these foreign players experiencing "Against the Cold Water" is still very difficult because of the game language and other issues, they have not given up the game even if they do not understand the language, and even used to use translation software to translate the storyline of each game, and set up their own exclusive gang. What attracts them is not only the excellent picture performance of "Against the Cold Water", but also the rich traditional cultural atmosphere in it. The use of the game to complete the spread of "cultural self-confidence" around the world is probably something that the game development team itself did not expect.
"Black Myth: Wukong" was elected as IGN's most anticipated Unreal Engine game, behind which is actually the foundation laid by many domestic games with outstanding quality, with the continuous development of China's game industry, more excellent domestic games will continue to appear, what do you think?
