My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 89 CG Master
Shen Jun impatiently clicked on the video and started playing it.

The video begins in the sky.

In the dark clouded sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning, a crow flew across at an extremely fast speed.

But the next second, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and struck the crow mercilessly.

The crow fell straight down without even a sound and disappeared from the video screen.

A few black feathers were floating in the air.

The camera then captured a feather and continued to slide down along the feather's trajectory.

Soon, a volcano came into view.

Magma slowly flowed out from the cracks in the crater like solid matter, forming a red and black river.

The black feather fell into the lava and instantly turned into ashes, emitting a wisp of black smoke.

But the picture suddenly began to shake, and the magma in the crater began to become active with the shaking.

With a bang, accompanied by a volcanic eruption, a black dragon roared and flew into the air along with the lava.

The black dragon's body is covered with obsidian scales that reflect a metallic luster. Looking closely at its body, red blood vessels like dragon tendons are all over its body.

It spread its wings and roared as it shook off the magma on its body, which splashed onto the ground, leaving behind pits of varying sizes.

Just watching this CG at the beginning made Shen Jun stunned.

It can be said that from the CG point of view alone, the quality of this game is not inferior to "Youming Shanhai".

Then, accompanied by the low voice of the narrator, the scene changed and came to a knight holding a sword. It seemed that this was the protagonist.

Shen Jun suddenly realized that the narration was in English?
Why does a trailer for a domestic game have English narration when it is released on a domestic video platform?
Shen Jun felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. He didn't think much about it and continued to look down.

The knight in front of him was obviously like the kind of knight that would be seen in the knight orders of medieval Europe, wearing plate armor and holding a two-handed sword in his hand.

"Wake up...Dragonborn..."

"Your power is about to change the world..."

"The world is in our hands!"

As the narrator shouted passionately, the scene turned to a clip of the actual machine demonstration.

This left Shen Jun stunned, because the tension in this scene was too strong!
The light and shadow effects in the picture are delicate and realistic, and the environmental art behind it is simply magnificent. The protagonist faces a huge skeleton monster, and the details between the two can be seen clearly. Shen Jun can even see the knife marks on the skeleton.

Soon, the protagonist was fighting with the giant skeleton monster with a sword.

Throughout the entire battle, the protagonist's combat movements were extremely smooth and full of impact. Shen Jun even saw the air vibration caused by the sword blade cutting through the air.

In comparison, the action module of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", which he was very proud of, seems a bit pale in comparison.

But for some reason, Shen Jun always had a weird feeling in his heart.

Looking at the picture in front of me, I always feel that something is out of harmony.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Jun realized it.

No UI!

Yes! It’s because there is no UI!
There is no prompt information on the screen, no health bar, no skill bar, no map, no task, and even no damage number!
This makes the actual machine demonstration in the video look like an oil painting, delicate but revealing a hint of unreal weirdness.

Shen Jun continued to watch the battle between the knight and the giant skeleton monster in the video. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something horrible. He sat up straight, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes fixed on the screen.

He pressed pause.

That was just now...

wrong!

Something is wrong!
He adjusted the speed to 0.25x, then quickly tapped the left arrow key repeatedly to rewind the video a little.

Shen Jun's heart beat faster, as if he had discovered the truth!
If I hadn't happened to glance there, I might still be kept in the dark.

In the picture, the knight swung his two-handed sword to block the rusty dagger in the hand of the giant skeleton monster, and sparks flew between the friction of the two weapons.

Then, it is the next second!
Shen Jun stared at the slow-motion video, which was playing like a slow-motion movie, stuttering frame by frame.

This is it!!
Shen Jun decisively pressed the pause button, and the video stopped at the moment when the knight parried the enemy and swung his sword.

The knight in plate armor in the picture holds the sword in both hands and swings it downwards. The blade reflects a ray of light in the air.

It was this reflected light that made Shen Jun feel something was wrong.

The light reflected from the sword blade here not only completely contradicts the physical logic of the structure in the picture at this time, but the light also appears extremely clear and smooth even in rapid motion.

For example, in the actual gameplay demo of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", if you compare it with this video, you can find some clues in the same action of swinging the sword.

In the trailer of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", the light and shadow reflected from the weapon will appear clearer only when the protagonist is holding the weapon and is stationary, but it is still not as clear as the light and shadow in the trailer of this game.

And it's not a comparison between still and still times, but the clarity of the still light in "Netherworld Mountain and Sea" is not as good as the clarity of the light and shadow on the rapidly moving sword here. This is impossible!

As long as the game is made with a game engine, no matter whether you use Unreal Engine or other game engines, even if the game engine you use comes from an alien civilization, as long as you use an engine that exists in real reality to make the game, it is impossible to reach this level!

You have to talk about the logic of reality!
The only possibility is that the light and shadow here are not produced by the game engine at all.

if that is the case……

Shen Jun did not yet confirm his suspicions, but continued to observe the video.

Sure enough, he soon discovered more things were wrong.

The first thing he discovered was the background environment that he had not observed before.

When the protagonist's sword missed and landed on the ground, the ground was like still water, with no reaction at all.

There was no smoke or dust flying, no sparks from the collision with the sword, or anything else.

It even looks like a texture, the only difference is that it is definitely not a texture, but it is definitely not made in the engine either.

Even if it is not specifically created in the engine, there will still be feedback.

So this is absolutely counter-intuitive from a game design perspective. If the opponent's technical skills are really as high as the level shown in the video, how could they forget to provide such basic feedback?
After he watched all the previous sword-swinging animations, Shen Jun was very sure that he had found the truth.

This so-called "live machine demonstration" is not a live machine demonstration at all!
Instead, they used very clever techniques to make the carefully crafted CG animation look like a "real machine demonstration".

This is also why, from the very beginning, the visual performance of the game in the video surpassed any mainstream 3A game.

It would definitely not be fair to compare CG animation with the actual gameplay footage of a real game made with an engine!

Thinking of this, Shen Jun felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He turned the video back to normal speed.

Finally, the video reached the end, and as the protagonist caught the black dragon at the beginning and flew into the air, the name of the game was also revealed.

Dragonborn: Eternal Flame

Yes, a real-game demo video of a domestic game showed its English name at the end.

Fortunately, the next second, a line of small Chinese characters appeared below the English title, which was the Chinese translation of the game name.

Dragonborn: Eternal Fire

Later, the game video even had the release date written out, which shocked Shen Jun.

He originally thought that the other party was still in the development process like them, but he didn't expect that the other party was so close to the release date.

The release date shown in the video is less than eight months away, which is neither long nor short for the promotion of a new game.

This made Shen Jun doubt his own judgment.

If it is really a fake real-game demo using CG, then it will definitely be exposed when the game is released. What is this company trying to achieve?

Could it be that they actually made a real live demo, but because the effect did not meet the standards, they were forced to use deceptive methods to fool the players due to time pressure?

If this is true, although the nature of it is equally bad, Shen Jun can still accept it a little.

Shen Jun scrolled down and came to the comment section. At this time, the comment section was already occupied by enthusiastic players, and many up-loaders with certification marks were also praising the game.

"That's so cool, bro, bring it up quickly."

"Chinese games have finally stood up. First it was Netherworld, and now there's Dragonborn: Eternal Fire."

"666: The Year of the Rise of Domestic 3A"

"It's coming out in eight months, please don't delay it, I'm looking forward to playing your game."

"I hope it's not too expensive, otherwise domestic players won't buy it. Two hundred yuan is about right."

"Who are you representing? I'll buy it if it doesn't cost more than five hundred dollars!"

"Don't say anything, even if it's just a thousand yuan, I can afford it to support domestic products."

"Why is the narration in English? Why is the name in English first..."

"Get lost, you trolls! Can't Chinese people create Western fantasy themes? Where are these old antiques?"

"Those who are participating in the dynamic lottery, please don't join in the fun, go sit at a table with the kids."

When Shen Jun saw that the players were deceived and compared this game with "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", which he had put countless efforts into, the anger in his heart began to rise again.

He felt his temples throbbing and his blood pressure seemed to be rising.

The fake video was too realistic and the technique was too clever, even Shen Jun was almost fooled.

Then it is normal for these players to be cheated!
