Chapter 84

"If a small studio can make a premium game like 'Honkai Impact 3rd,' a work from a company as big as Tencent shouldn't be worse than Honkai 3, right?"

When the login screen loaded, the audience could see the full anticipation in Jie's eyes.

The game finally loaded.

To his surprise, Tencent's game also used an animated short for the opening.

"Whoa~ This image quality is on par with Mihuyou! It seems Tencent is serious too!"

In the short film, a red-haired mature woman and a white-haired loli, holding heavy machine guns, were interspersed on the battlefield.

The fluidity of the visuals was excellent, and the scene was very intense.

But for some reason, Jie just didn't feel the shock that the "Honkai Impact 3rd" short film brought him.

Soon the short film ended, and the game directly entered the combat screen.

After Jie skipped some beginner tutorials, he pulled the camera angle to observe the red-haired mature woman he was controlling.

However...

When he zoomed in, he was scared out of his wits.

"Holy crap!! What the hell is this!! This red-haired mature woman looks so different from the one in the short film just now!!"

You couldn't tell from the back, but looking at the face, the art style was simply too bizarre.

The barrage was also scared out of its wits by this devilish face.

It wasn't that the red-haired mature woman was terrifying, but that the art style... appeared very eerie.

The red-haired mature woman's face shape was actually quite good, a typical oval face with big eyes, plus flaming red lips.

But... no matter how you looked at it, it was awkward.

If you had to explain it, it was like a real person with a Barbie doll's face.

And as a veteran gamer, Jie soon discovered the key.

"I understand!! It must be the game engine... or a problem with the image rendering."

"As everyone knows, for games with this two-dimensional art style, 'Honkai Impact 3rd' is the pioneering work; previous game art styles were all biased toward realism."

"So I guess Honkai Impact 3rd's game engine or rendering technology must be different."

"And this Tencent game uses an anime art style, but... the game engine and rendering style still use the old methods."

"Don't understand?"

"Let me explain it to you like this: everyone watches anime, right? Anime also has several art styles."

"There are pure 2D animations, pure 3D animations, and 2D+3D animations."

"And using different rendering methods can also make the effect presented by this animation different."

"So, maybe Tencent only learned the art style of 'Honkai Impact 3rd' but didn't have the rendering method of 'Honkai Impact 3rd,' which is why the visuals appear a bit... mismatched."

"I'm not saying Tencent is bad; after all, for such a big company, researching a game engine is no problem."

"It's mainly that they don't have the experience of making this type of 3D anime art style before..."

"This is just my guess, after all, I'm just a guy who plays games, I don't have experience in making games, if I said it wrong..."

"Then just treat it as me showing off, hehe~"

Actually, in terms of visuals alone, you can't blame Tencent.

Even if you let people from other game manufacturers do it, they wouldn't reach the natural level of Honkai Impact 3rd in just half a month.

After all, the development of games in this world is far behind Earth; almost all games in the world use the same game engine and rendering method.

Looking at Earth, there are several choices for game engines alone.

The same goes for rendering technology.

Therefore, when "Honkai Impact 3rd" appeared in this world, it brought such a huge shock to the people of this world.

And "Honkai Impact 3rd" might not count for much on Earth.

But in this world, it really had a bit of a dimensionality reduction strike.

Major game manufacturers in the world are actually silently learning from Honkai Impact 3rd.

Whether it's game gameplay or operational mode...

One can only say that Tencent was a bit too eager for success.

They just copied the gameplay and operational mode of "Honkai Impact 3rd."

But they haven't fully studied the 3D anime rendering technology of "Honkai Impact 3rd." ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
