"Portal" is popular, on the one hand because of the uniqueness of the game itself, and on the other hand because "Portal" appeared after "Mario Kart", especially one of the two-player modes.

It is a platform that is very suitable for switch.

And although "Portal" itself has a VR version.

But in fact, in terms of sales, "Portal" has the highest sales volume on the switch platform.

It is even much higher than the PC platform.

The other piece is the plot and world view of "Portal".

If in the game, the story of Cher, Whitley, and the people who are now affectionately called G-girls by players were very simple.

So with more and more analysis, Brother Di, is looking for more clues in the game.

Some related content gradually surfaced, including the so-called aperture technology in "Portal", which was summarized.

Among them, what interests players the most is the story behind Aperture Technology.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a discussion among players.

A previous topic has been picked up again by players.

That is the artificial intelligence in the game.

The topic of artificial intelligence has been widely discussed before when brain-computer interface technology was developed.

After that, Yang Chen also produced games about artificial intelligence such as "Detroit: Become Human".

This time, Sister G in "Portal" once again made the players discuss this matter.

At the same time, it is not only accompanied by artificial intelligence, but also a world view in "Portal".

Compared with the dream memory, "Portal" was not mentioned much.

Yang Chen still added some details into the game.

For example, there will be some little easter egg content hidden in the game.

Through the broadcast, there were also conversations with G-girl and Whitley, as well as some discoveries made by the two robots in the later cooperation levels.

They can all find some clues about the world in "Portal".

For example, in the world of "Portal", it is very likely that the world has been destroyed.

But how was it destroyed?

This is a problem.

Alien invasion, or a war breaking out among humans?

But after Xueer left the base at the end, the wheat field scenery that appeared made people feel that the world was still full of vitality.

It doesn't feel like the end of the world at all.

Players online also have different opinions on this.

But for Yang Chen, he didn't care too much.

But like most games in Nebula Games, "Portal" also has its own unique characteristics.

That is a MOD production to support players.

And although it is on the switch platform, the gameplay mode of "Portal" belongs to a puzzle-solving type.

At the same time, when developing the game, I took into account the abruptness caused by a scene switch.

Basically, most of the board materials in the laboratory in the game are similar.

Except for entering the factory and scenes such as the cooling room, the style of the modeling materials in the game basically does not change much.

And if players observe carefully, they will find that most of the materials in "Portal" are in the form of blocks.

In other words, a very regular model, such as boxes and cylinders, are all based on this very regular modeling.

Of course, from the perspective of game development, it was purely because Yang Chen was a little lazy in order to progress during development, and mostly used a model of the same material.

Anyway, "Portal" itself has different requirements for scene graphics than open-world masterpieces such as "Red Dead Redemption" and "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey."

Besides, if these game materials are not reused, "Portal" cannot be sold for only 30 yuan.

Of course there are benefits to doing this.

That is, it will be much more convenient for the subsequent production of some MODs.

The gameplay of the game itself is a puzzle type, so the MOD content of the game is basically based on the map of the game.

The overall framework has basically been built.

Similar to "Super Mario Maker", in "Portal", Yang Chen and his Nebula Game team will also add a MOD specifically for making maps.

As for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", the model was replaced and the girl's scroll was directly completed. That is basically not seen in "Portal", at least on the switch and "Portal" on the VR platform. .

As for the PC platform, players unpack the art resources in the game and then make a replacement, not connected to the Internet but in offline mode, and Yang Chen has nothing to do with it.

For Yang Chen, "Portal" has come to an end.

However, the game industry gave "Portal" a very high evaluation.

Familiar old-face media including Game Star and other media all gave full marks to the game.

Although in terms of game technology performance, "Portal" did not make much changes.

But the key is in the game content. "Portal" really seems to open a door.

The unique gameplay in the game has also made many game manufacturers see a change.

If "Mario Kart" only made a change in the original racing mode.

Then "Portal" brings a brand new change.

A very unique combination of FPS and puzzle solving.

Although many players say that "Portal" is not an FPS game.

After all, in the eyes of most people, FPS games should be exciting.

But there is no way to erase the unique feature of "Portal".

There are also many game manufacturers discussing the content of "Portal", including on the Internet.

And a general direction for the future gaming industry.

Regarding this point, in fact, similar meetings have been discussed within Nebula Games.

From the PC platform to the VR platform, and then to the brain-computer interface model, the VR platform has ushered in a change that is not big, but not small either.

It can be said that they are closely related to their impact on the gaming industry.

Originally, all game manufacturers were chasing the most cutting-edge technology.

But the sudden two games on Yang Chen's side made the major game manufacturers have some doubts.

Is there a technical breakthrough between "Mario Kart" and "Portal"?

No, even in terms of visual effects, "Portal" is not even comparable to games such as "Resident Evil" and "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain" developed by Nebula Games back then.

But they are still loved by countless players.

As a result, many game manufacturers have thought of a masterpiece from Nebula Games: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."

In terms of screen performance, this innovative open-world production exclusively on Switch is inferior to "Red Dead Redemption", "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", "GTA" and other works, but it is recognized as a masterpiece. .

This has also caused many game manufacturers and game producers to think about this aspect.

……………

However, compared to the discussion about this from the outside world, Yang Chen didn't pay too much attention to it.

However, this topic has become more and more intense.

But like most topics that arise, it quickly goes off the rails.

We obviously started discussing the so-called issues of artificial intelligence and doomsday, and the discussion turned into a journey of game development, that is, the expansion of cutting-edge technology and the content of the game itself, and who is the direction of the future.

In the end, as more people participated, the topic gradually became more popular, and then it became distorted again as the discussion continued.

After shaking for a long time, I went back and turned to how advanced the technology in "Portal" is.

What will human society be like in the future?

Is it like in "Detroit: Become Human"?

Most jobs have been replaced by machines, and humans can enjoy life better.

You can experience a variety of services without leaving home.

Including the development of this kind of technology, what will the social environment of mankind be like in the future?

These topics have also triggered discussions among many people.

The same discussion also occurred within Nebula Games.

Wang Yaliang, Lin Jiayi, Chen Shu, Wang Ye and other people who had followed Yang Chen to conquer the country since "Octopath Traveler" were sitting in the lounge playing "Mario Kart".

It can be said that everyone is now a well-known figure in the gaming industry.

Putting aside Yang Chen's personal halo, he is a figure who can stand alone in any big factory.

At this time, everyone was also discussing such a topic.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think it will be like in the future when technology is extremely developed? Will the development of games not be carried out by us, but just through ideas, and then build a fantasy world? Wang Ye said with some enthusiasm.

"Well, humans can install a chip device on their heads, which can directly input the data in these electronic albums into their nervous system, so that the viewer can feel all the feelings in the recorder's brain at the same time, including emotions, muscle movements, Perception.”

"This allows people to experience other people's lives and their emotions. This is very cyberpunk." Yang Chen smiled and snapped his fingers.

"But I'm afraid this is too far away from us." Yang Chen spread his hands and said.

"But I think the situation in "Detroit: Become Human" is very likely to happen. After all, brain-computer interface devices have been commercialized, and machines have begun to gradually replace most repetitive jobs. It's just a matter of cost. A question." Lin Jiayi said from the side.

"But it should cause a big social problem, like in "Detroit: Become Human"." Wang Yaliang also added.

"This is a pain caused by the transition of the times, just like entering the industrial age. It was also recognized at that time, which meant that machines took away their jobs." Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Based on our current development process, we will imagine that in the future, a short period of social replacement will have passed, and we will envision a better direction. Machines will replace humans and produce more living materials. The production capacity will exceed the demand, and humans will no longer Worrying about daily necessities.”

"Highly networked, 3D printing and artificial intelligence have become commonplace. What kind of situation do you think there will be?" Yang Chen smiled.

"Make life better!" Chen Shu raised her hand to express her opinion.

On the other hand, Lin Jiayi next to him was thoughtful: "Let humans and society become more and more disconnected from real-life interactions."

"Actually, I feel like this now. After I get home from get off work, I can stay at home for two days in a row. It is a reality that mobile phones are unnecessary to communicate with friends. Except for meals, most of the communication is done through mobile phones. When I have nothing to do, More people are ordering takeaways and shopping online for clothes and other items," said Wang Ye, who was standing next to him, with the same sentiment.

After saying this, the other people nodded in agreement.

This also makes them have the same feeling.

"Then if a mysterious thing happens, causing society to collapse in an instant, the government to collapse, the continent's landscape to become unrecognizable, human's high-tech civilization to collapse in an instant, and countless people to be trapped in their homes, what do you think that would be like?" Yang Chen looked at it Said to everyone.

"That should be loneliness, squatting at home alone with paper people to accompany me. As long as there are paper people, it doesn't matter if I stay for a year. But if human technology collapses, then there will definitely be no more fun. Without it, there will be no paper for me. I'm a movie star." Lin Jiayi said matter-of-factly.

Then he received a speechless look from everyone.

"Ahem, if you are not a person trapped at home, but a courier boy who needs to deliver goods to survivors trapped at home, what kind of experience do you think it would be like?" Yang Chen coughed and said. .

"It's so good, and there's a delivery boy!?" Wang Ye next to him obviously didn't focus on the same channel.

At this time, Lin Jiayi, Chen Shu and others clearly realized what Yang Chen wanted to say.

"Mr. Yang, do you have any new game ideas?" Lin Jiayi asked Yang Chen with great interest.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, do you have any new ideas?" Chen Shu also asked curiously.

"That's right, but it's different from all previous games. This should be a very controversial game by then." Yang Chen smiled and nodded.

While saying this, Yang Chen put down the pro controller in his hand.

Then he took the laptop from the side and connected it to the projector.

Under everyone's slightly confused gaze, I created a new folder and then created a word document.

And entered the four characters "Death Stranding".

Everyone looked at each other, and then smacked their mouths.

Okay, this is very Mr. Yang.

In the words of players, it means that the game has been remade and the folders have been created.
