1. The documentary-style interview at the beginning is quite bluffing, but when it comes to the war scene, you can see the obvious small cost. All the techniques of upgrading, swaying, and messing up are used, but the enemy cannot be seen. When it comes to the alien part, there is a big smoke, and then the laser beams fly everywhere in the background. But the appearance of the Master Chief is really hot. 2. The growth story of young Laski is mediocre enough. 3. Combined with UBI's Alpha Team, video games will definitely be more closely integrated with film and television in the future. The 3-minute trailer is no longer enough to satisfy the appetite of game fans and game companies. They also want to make game distribution an all-media event. Yes, it sold millions of sets in the first weekend for hundreds of millions of dollars. Of course, this does not mean that movies will be completely crushed and marginalized by the new entertainment industry represented by games. After all, both sides have their own advantages. Human beings cannot give up the immersive experience of games, nor can they give up the smoothness of images. narrative. However, these two cases still represent the influence of games on film narratives. In past cross-media practices, such as in The Matrix, games are used to fill in the blanks, and the main axis of narrative is still the film. Although these two films are still complete, the images are only a prequel, a sequence, and the real story has to be unfolded in the game.
