Chapter 350: The Scary Game of Critical Reality

Chen stranger nodded: “Well, I know that. However, there are currently very few people in the country who make horror games, and for VR games, while horror games are not popular games, their immersion is the best of all game types, or you can fill in the market gap slightly. ”

Joe Hua pushed his glasses into contemplation.

Chan added: “Minister Qiao, this game must be graded. Like Dark Destroyer, it must be an adult to play. ”

“Also, it is necessary to check the player's physical condition through the VR pod before entering the game, and people with heart disease and similar conditions cannot play. The player's physiological indicators must also be monitored throughout the game and disconnected as soon as the indicators are abnormal. ”

“There are also some VR-terminated terror games abroad, and the relevant settings and security measures have been improved, and we do so according to this standard, there will be no major problems. ”

Joe Hua sighed softly: "Yes, I know that. However, the current attitude of the JMC does not encourage such a game of excessive bloodshed and violence, as it carries certain risks and may have some potential implications for human psychology. ”

“We all know, of course, that the impact is minimal, just like watching a horror film, and that no one is psychopathic or even kills or harms people because they watch a horror film. From my personal point of view, I think that some attempts can be made in this regard, but you have to come up with a set of statements to convince Chairman Zhang. ”

Chen Qiao thought about it: “I do have a saying. ”

Joe Hua came up with a little bit of interest: "Tell me about it? ”

Chen Jiao briefly said his thoughts.

After listening, Joe Hua frowned for a moment and thought, “Like, okay. That's a good reason, but it's hard to say if you can convince Chairman Zhang, but you can try it. ”

“You wait here, I'll ask Chairman Zhang, I'll call you later. ”

Qiao Hua quickly walked out of the office and went to the chairman of the committee, Zhang Zhongxiang.

The situation is different in parallel worlds than in previous generations, and much easier for game auditing. Moreover, there is no absolute standard for which games can go through the trial and which cannot go through the trial. Whether or not a horrible game like "Escape" can go through the trial and be played to players, the chairman of the committee Zhang Zhongxiang has to be allowed to shoot the board.

About half an hour later, Joward came back.

“Come with me, Commissioner Zhang is waiting for you. You only have twenty minutes. Think about the language. If you can't make it this time, you probably won't have a chance.” Joe Hua said.

“I get it, Minister Joe.” Chen Jiao followed.

Qiao Hua led Chen Qiao to the office of Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang, knocked on the door and told Chen Qiao to come in.

In the office, Zhang Zhongxiang is looking at the draft concept.

When Chen Jiao came in, he pointed to the seat at the desk: “Sit down. ”

Chen Qiao sat down and carefully observed Zhang Zhongxiang's expression.

Zhang Zhongxiang frowned slightly. It seems that he also has serious doubts about this draft concept.

Chen Jiao's right hand touched the virtual bracelet on his left wrist, silently pulled out the prop and used it.

Zhang Zhongxiang coughed softly and said: "Chen Qiao, I've finished reading your draft concept. The game is a horror game, and there are a lot of bloody, violent elements that, according to the Board's usual attitude, cannot be tried. Because in this highly immersed state of mind, this game has a certain impact on the mental health of the player. ”

"I don't think so, Chairman Zhang. First of all, as adults, the three views have been shaped, and a healthy person, when experiencing horror movies, horror games, and even ghost houses, gets some fright. ”

“The existence of both horror films and haunted houses in our country today suggests that terror experiences cannot be harmed as long as they are well controlled. ”

“At present, the protection mechanisms for players in foreign terrorist games are very mature, and so many horror games appear every year abroad, and we have never heard of players dying suddenly or being stimulated to harm society, so the impact is actually not that serious. Alternatively, such effects can be avoided altogether. ”

Zhang Zhongxiang frowned: “Mainly, there is basically nothing positive about health in the game of terror, which is difficult to convince the traditional and conservative members of the boards. ”

"So, Mr. Chairman, do you think 'criticism’ is a positive thing in itself? ”

Zhang Zhongxiang stunned: “Criticism? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: "Yes, just as the essay criticized some ugly facts. ”

Zhang Zhongxiang thought about it: “Should count. ”

“Escape" has a spiritual core, and its spiritual core is criticism, "Chen continued. In this game, the protagonist, as a journalist with a sense of justice, investigates a psychiatric hospital and exposes the crimes involved. ”

“Psychiatric hospitals are, in fact, places controlled to carry out terrorist experiments, where large foreign consortia, in the interest of ignoring the dead and alive, trample the law and even use superior figures as umbrellas for them. ”

“Players will play this righteous journalist, exposing criminal acts under the control of a large consortium, which in itself is a criticism of ugly facts and a revelation of false images that look good abroad. ”

Zhang Zhongxiang blinked and suddenly felt that Chen Stranger had a point.

Indeed, if the story of "Escape" were to be placed in the domestic context, there would be no doubt that it would be appropriate to go through the trial.

But what if I put it abroad? It's like it's really a criticism and a revelation.

Zhang Zhongxiang thought again: "But this is a completely fictional story. ”

Chen explained: "Chairman, art comes from life and is higher than life. Are these horrific acts of genocide and extermination still rare in world history? Isn't it a positive and positive thing to remind people that Auschwitz camp is far more horrifying to show human purgatory than it is to show in this game, and that this camp still exists, and that I make a game to torture people? ”

Zhang Zhongxiang: “..."

He turned over the draft design concept of "Escape" and looked at it from beginning to end.

After a long period of silence, Zhang Zhongxiang finally nodded: “Well, this game has gone through trial for now, but remember, the story background of the game must not change, it must happen abroad. Also, make sure you set up your VR device to ensure that this game does not adversely affect the player. ”

“If the players strongly protest, the game is off the shelf, and if it has serious social impact, you can't be exonerated, understand? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes, Mr. Chairman, I understand! ”
