Just as the players were immersed in the world of GTA, a new Weibo post from Chen Mo caused a huge uproar.
GTA Photography Competition!
Many players were dumbfounded when they heard the news. A photography competition in the game? Is this a joke?
But when they saw the rules and rewards, they couldn't stay calm anymore.
Isn't it just a photography competition? Come on!
There were a lot of photography enthusiasts among the players, and some had won in competitions in real life. A photography competition in the game was nothing to them!
As for why the players were so eager to participate? Because the rewards were too good …
The rules of the GTA photography competition weren't complicated. Within two weeks, the players were free to submit relevant materials and participate in the selection. The selection was split into two sections, the photography section and the videography section, which meant photos and videos would be accepted separately.
The two sections would be judged separately, with specialized judges in charge of scoring and combining the votes of the players, the top one hundred would be chosen from each section. The top two hundred players would receive a great reward: a GTA Friend Invitation Voucher.
Although it was called a Friend Invitation Voucher, it was actually a free copy of GTA. As most of the people who could participate in the competition had already bought the game, they could give it to any of their friends.
Many players were excited. The value of this wasn't low at all!
The price in GTA was 3680 RMB, and the international version was 660 USD. It wasn't a lot of money for the players who could afford the VR pod, but it wasn't a small amount either! Moreover, would anyone find it troublesome to pick up money?
Moreover, there were a total of two hundred people, which was quite a number of prizes. If there were only a few dozen spots, many people wouldn't be interested. However, once the number of spots was increased to two hundred, many people would feel like they were going to win the prize.
Players entered GTA, driving around the beautiful scenery, taking pictures of people, scenery, cars, dogs, and anything else that was fun …
In GTA, Chen Mo had reserved a similar function. Pictures could be taken directly from the phone. Le Hui's phone in the game had an automatic camera function, and it wasn't limited by pixels like the phones in real life.
As a representative of the next generation of VR games, Chen Mo used the highest quality art resources when making GTA. The models and textures were extremely detailed, much more detailed than any other VR game. Even the ambient lighting was extremely realistic, such as the reflection of the water, sunlight, weather, etc. It was all very beautiful.
The Le Hui's camera in the game also had a filter function. Players could use a variety of filters to change the color of the image, creating a very unique mood.
As for photography, it was more complicated. Players could use a remote-controlled drone to take aerial photos in the game and edit the footage at will. Currently, GTA did not have a multiplayer mode, but there were still many things that players could take pictures of. Once there was a multiplayer mode, multiple players could cooperate with each other and even achieve the effect of filming a movie in GTA.
…
Soon, a large number of entries were posted on GTA's official forum.
The onlookers who had come to watch the drama were all exclaiming, "What the f * ck, was this shot in the game?!"
A silver sports car was parked on the beach. The distant sea was sparkling, and the surface of the sea looked like it was dotted with stars.
A black woman was leaning against the door of an RV in the slums, staring blankly at the camera. The black and white filter seemed to be expressing her despair towards life.
In the alleyway, the sun shone through the cracks on a small silver car, giving this retro looking car a futuristic look.
The sun was setting, the horizon was dyed red with burning clouds. The amusement park by the sea cast its reflection on the surface of the sea.
Little Zha was chasing a butterfly amidst the green grass, its two short hind legs on the ground and its front legs raised up, looking very adorable.
These were only a portion of the entries. The themes included scenery, characters, vehicles, and so on. The entries that were chosen, whether it was the shots or the colors, didn't lose out to the real thing.
As for the photography, it was even more imaginative.
As the game didn't support multiplayer mode, most of the entries were aerial photography. However, there were still many who came up with new ideas for aerial photography.
A car was parked alone on the top of a mountain. The setting sun was in the distance, and the windmills were spinning alone, as if listening to the loneliness of the world.
There was still some morning mist on the surface of the sea, and the indigo seawater gently rippled against the reefs. The camera zoomed up, and a few fishing boats were out to sea.
In the valley, flowers were blooming. The lush grass gently bent under the gentle breeze, and butterflies fluttered in the forest, their postures light and graceful.
Walking along the coastline, the setting sun dyed the surface of the sea red. It looked like an ocean of red wine, and people couldn't help but want to have a glass to enjoy it.
A deep cave.
A majestic mountain peak.
A steep canyon.
A lonely lighthouse.
A distant thunder.
A magnificent bridge across the sea.
A never-ending stream of traffic.
A skyscraper.
An intricate overpass.
A brightly lit city that never sleeps.
Many iconic buildings.
These photography works weren't done casually. Many of them had gone through very detailed editing, and were paired with a suitable background melody. Some were soothing, some were tense, and with smooth and steady use of the camera, the final result was stunning.
Many people looked at these photography works, and then looked at their own work, and realized that it was a pile of rubbish …
Many players were even puzzled. Are we playing the same GTA?
Did you guys secretly pay for it?
Many people felt good about themselves, and felt that they would definitely be one of the 200 lucky ones. However, when they saw these excellent works, they instantly realized that they were done for.
However, through this photography competition, a large number of spectators realized that GTA's scenery was actually so beautiful!
While constantly thinking about how to take better photos, the players traveled all over Los Santos, to every corner of the city and Blaine County, to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
There were also many people with ulterior motives who took photos of the photography competition and showed them to spectators who didn't know the truth. In the end, many people couldn't even tell which was the game and which was reality!
This highly realistic virtual world scenery once again won a lot of popularity for GTA, fiercely increasing their sense of existence.
After an intense selection process, the 200 outstanding works were finally selected. Basically, there was not much controversy, and the works that were selected were all very popular works. Chen Mo quickly fulfilled his promise. The winners' Thunderbolt Gaming Platform accounts had a GTA that could be used as a gift to any of their friends.
Many players who were debating on whether or not to buy the Matrix gaming pod grit their teeth and bought it after receiving the GTA from their friends!
It was only after they bought it that they realized something was wrong.
Emmmm …
Chen Mo gave a GTA for three thousand dollars, and then used his own money to buy a three hundred thousand GTA gaming pod?
