Will "Detective God" be the next "Detroit Change"? Talk about the development of hardcore FMV
Recently, the game media [Game Inn] released an in-depth discussion of FMV topic article, here I want to first talk to you about science, the so-called FMV works in a broad sense refers to Full-motion Video, that is, the addition of full motion images in the game, this design has been used by Sega and other game companies as early as the 1980s into the product, and later "Metal Gear Solid", "Call of Duty" and other games have been inspired.
Game Inn pointed out that with the development of the industry, the form of full motion image has gradually become a new game category, which is today's interactive video works. In terms of gameplay and form of expression, it is between games and film and television, separating part of the content in traditional games that are classified as "operations", and providing players with a sense of substitution through a more intuitive audiovisual experience such as text and pictures. Compared with traditional games, there is more film narrative, and compared with traditional film and television works, there is more game operation experience, which is the characteristic of interactive movie games.
According to my years of game experience, games like this FMV type are actually quite a few abroad, and the representative company has QD, and its "Detroit: Change", "Rainstorm" and "Extraordinary Twins" are all outstanding works in this type of game.
Just as the so-called God has closed a door for you, it will definitely open a window for you, although there is no such advanced game production technology and experience in China, but there is a mature film and television production process in China, and the full video interactive film game "Shendu Bad Detective" issued by the game inn many times is just a typical representative of the use of film and television production technology to the extreme, to a certain extent, it can be said that he promoted the pace of FMV development.
The domestic version of "Detroit Becomes a Man"?
Although the live-action shooting of this production scheme is not the original "Shendu Bad Detective", but its production with high standards in the film and television industry, indeed in the current domestic market belongs to the only one, from the official publicity news can be understood that "Shendu Bad Detective" uses 30,000 square meters of shooting location, full real scene full props construction, 1000 + hours of shooting, 6000 + hours of post-production, just at these points can directly catch up with the advantages of foreign pure CG production on the screen, and "Detroit: Change" This kind of pure CG-made game is often modeled realistically to win the full color, "God Bad Detective" uses real-life shooting does not need to consider the character model special effects construction, but requires the actor's acting skills, line skills, and the use of film shots when the scene is switched.
At the same time, the interactive film game with the theme of live-action costumes produced in accordance with the high standards of the film and television industry is extremely rare in the global game circle and is a milestone in domestic games in a certain sense. In terms of my personal look and feel of watching the relevant demo video, it is a game with distinctive characteristics, with both film and television texture and game characteristics.
In summary, with such a quality of "Divine Bad Detective", it has also been favored by many players, and it has gained the expectations of many players before it is listed.
High costs affect pricing?
Full film and television production, will inevitably pull up the cost, compared with the dynamic film and television "Invisible Guardian" pricing, and foreign "Detroit change" pricing, I think if manufacturers want to earn back the cost, the pricing will not be too low. Of course, there is nothing wrong with selling games at a high price, after all, it is impossible to use love to generate electricity to make games that cannot last, if "Divine Bad Detective" can really hand over a perfect FMV answer sheet to everyone, the pricing is slightly higher, and the players will not have too much opinion, of course, it is impossible to go to the high price of foreign AAA games. (Detroit has a price of more than 100, and the upcoming Japanese factory interactive movie game Spring Lost Hundred Years copy price is nearly 300, and the pricing of domestic games should be outrageous less than this extent...) ）
At present, the game has been released on Steam, and it will go on sale on Time on April 28, if it is you, how much do you think the price of this game is appropriate?
