"If a small studio can create a high-quality game like Honkai Impact 3, then a game from a company as big as Tencent can't possibly be worse than Honkai Impact 3, right?"

As the login screen loads, viewers can see the anticipation welling up in Fallen's eyes.

The game has finally loaded.

To his surprise, the Penguin Games also used an animated short film to open the game.

"Wow~ the picture quality is comparable to miHoYo's! Looks like Tencent is getting serious!"

In the short film, a red-haired mature woman and a white-haired loli wield heavy machine guns and move through the battlefield.

The visuals are incredibly smooth, and the scenes are extremely intense.

But for some reason, Fallout just didn't have the same impact as the Honkai Impact 3rd short film.

The short film ended quickly, and the game immediately entered the battle screen.

After skipping some of the tutorial, Fallen zoomed in to observe the red-haired older woman he was controlling.

however……

When he zoomed in, he was immediately terrified.

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

I couldn't tell from the back view, but looking at the front, the style was just too bizarre.

The viewers in the live chat were also taken aback by that devilish face.

It's not that this red-haired mature woman is particularly terrifying, but rather that the art style... seems quite bizarre.

This red-haired mature woman has a very beautiful face, a typical oval face with big eyes and bright red lips.

But... it just doesn't look right.

If I had to explain it, it's like a real person who got a Barbie doll's face done.

As a veteran gamer, Fallen quickly discovered the key to it.

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

"As we all know, Honkai Impact 3rd is a pioneering work in this type of anime-style game. Previous games have tended to have a more realistic art style."

"Therefore, I suspect that Honkai Impact 3's game engine or rendering technology is also different."

"While the Penguin game uses an anime art style,... the game engine and rendering style still use the old methods."

"don't know?"

"Let me explain it to you like this: everyone watches anime, right? And there are several different art styles in anime."

There are purely 2D animations, purely 3D animations, and animations combining 2D and 3D elements.

"Using different rendering methods can also result in different effects for this animation."

"So, it's possible that Tencent only learned the art style of Honkai Impact 3rd, but not its rendering methods, which is why the visuals seem a bit... mismatched."

"I'm not saying Tencent is incapable. After all, a company that big shouldn't have any problem developing a game engine."

"The main issue is that they had no prior experience with this type of 3D animation style..."

"This is just my guess, after all, I'm just a lousy gamer with no experience in game development. If I'm wrong..."

"Then just consider it me showing off, hehe~"

Actually, judging solely from the visuals, the penguins can't be blamed.

Even if you get people from other game companies to do it, they still can't achieve the same naturalness as Honkai Impact 3rd in just half a month.

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

In contrast, on Earth, game engines alone offer several selectable targets.

The same applies to rendering technology.

That's why Honkai Impact 3rd caused such a huge shock when it appeared in this world.

Honkai Impact 3rd might not even be considered anything special on Earth.

But in this world, it really does feel like a dimensional reduction attack.

Major game developers around the world are actually quietly learning from Honkai Impact 3.

Whether it's the gameplay or the business model...

It can only be said that the penguins were a bit too eager for quick success.

They simply copied the gameplay and operation model of "Honkai Impact 3".

However, they haven't fully grasped the 3D animation rendering technology used in Honkai Impact 3.

Chapter 46 miHoYo: Relying entirely on the contrast with its competitors

Before playing Honkai Impact 3, Fallen would have praised Girls' Journey.

But after playing Honkai Impact 3, then playing Girls' Journey...

He racked his brains but couldn't think of any words of praise.

Honkai Impact 3rd features fluid and natural character animations, strong impact feedback, beautiful character art style, and innovative gameplay...

As for Girl's Journey... the character movements are stiff, the combat feel is terrible, the character art style is bizarre, and the gameplay... is almost 80% identical to Honkai Impact 3.

Many things are just renamed.

Even this red-haired mature woman might be based on Himeko's character design.

Not to mention the background music and voice acting...

It's practically an unfinished game!

As he played, he even put on a mask of pain.

"Hey everyone, this game...it's not bad...but I'm choosing Honkai Impact 3."

After saying that, Fallen immediately pressed ALT+F4...

He immediately opened Honkai Impact 3.

Barrage.

[Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter, where are the penguins' cash cows? Why aren't they saying anything?]

[Seriously... even I'm speechless, haha...]

To be fair, Zera is quite pretty in the short film, but... why is she so weird in the game, hahaha?

[Look at the mask of pain on Brother Duo's face... I finally understand why he didn't want to test the game.]

[I'm dying of laughter, I want to curse, but I don't dare, hahaha...]

Seeing the jokes on the screen, Fallen could only manage a wry smile.

He is quite well-known in the game streamer community.

Therefore, I always think carefully before I speak during live streams.

For a large internet company like Tencent, it's really not appropriate for him to publicly criticize it.

However, with Honkai Impact 3 as a comparison, he couldn't find any reason to say anything good about Girls' Journey.

"Hey... everyone, calm down. Actually, I think we can give 'Girls' Journey' some time. I imagine many players have already given feedback to the official team by now."

"As long as Tencent makes timely adjustments and studies the anime rendering of Honkai Impact 3, this game is still playable."

"After all, this is arguably the only alternative to Honkai Impact 3rd."

So, this is the excuse you finally came up with after all that thinking?

[Hehehe... What nonsense are you guys talking about? I just feel like I'm wasting money on Honkai Impact 3rd if I don't play it more.]

Compared to this, miHoYo is really amazing... It's clearly a small workshop, yet it has completely outperformed Tencent.

[MiHoYo: You flatter me, it's all thanks to the contrast with our competitors]

This time, all I can say is that Tencent was careless.

…………

At the same time, many Honkai Impact 3rd players downloaded and tried out Girls' Journey.

Without exception, everyone was startled by the bizarre art style.

Very few can last more than half an hour.

Those who survived for more than half an hour were mostly gamers who had never played Honkai Impact 3.

However, even those who haven't played Honkai Impact 3rd still find it hard to accept the bizarre art style of Girls' Journey.

Within just two hours of the server opening, Tencent's inbox was almost overflowing with feedback emails.

"Xiao Yi, how's the data?"
