“thishighlight reel for august……”

As soon as he entered the door, an English sentence came out of his ear, which immediately attracted Fang Junqi's attention.

"Huh?" turned his head to look at his girlfriend's mobile phone screen, and silently calculated in his heart what day of the week it was, he immediately looked up in surprise, "It's usual, it's not easy!"

This is the game highlight show "Highlight Reel" released on YouTube by foreign media Kotatu, because each episode is only a few minutes long, and it is full of highlights of popular games, which is very suitable for players who are short on time to "play games in the cloud".

The only annoying thing is that the official statement "usually updated on Mondays and Thursdays" is actually very unpunctual because the main creator often delays the update for various reasons.

Zhang Wan nodded, "It may be that the state has been better recently, so it's 'usual'." ”

"Na, your courier," handed the carton in his hand to the other party, Fang Junqi sat down next to his girlfriend, "Push it over a little, Sister Yaoyao said that she also voted a few, and I don't know if she was selected." ”

Shoved the tablet in his hand into his boyfriend's hand, leaned on him and said uncertainly, "It seems to be there, right? I see that the introduction says 'ormhole ol'." ”

"Ormhole" is the official translation of "Secret Realm", and although it lacks artistic conception, it is better to be simple and easy to remember, and it does not lose its core connotation.

The video started playing again, but the first one was a "PUBG Battle Royale" video.

The editors of "High Energy Moment" condensed the game highlights delivered by players around the world, plus incisive commentary, and made a short film of a few minutes, which is the content of this issue. Because the material comes from player contributions, popular works, games with free gameplay and highlights, or games with more bugs are particularly easy to be selected, such as popular games such as "Overwatch Online" and "GTA5", as well as "Rainbow Six" and "Assassin's Creed" where "bugs are the body" are frequent visitors to this show.

Of course, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, a generation of new games replace the old plays, and at the same time have the three characteristics of popularity, freedom, and more bugs, "PUBG Battle Royale" quickly squeezed out of the front and became the first popular king of "high-energy moments", almost every issue will have so many paragraphs, and this issue is even more so.

In the first paragraph, the protagonist and his teammates are shooting at people in a speedboat, and when he sees all the enemies hitting the street, he takes out a grenade and intends to blow up the opponent's speedboat, but the grenade falls into his own cabin, killing a boatload of people.

In the second paragraph, the protagonist jumps off the car, shoots and kills an opponent in an instant, and is about to run over to pick up the loot, but the car he discarded slips down the slope, runs over and presses over him who is addicted to licking the box, vividly interpreting the importance of "stopping and turning off the engine and pulling the handbrake".

In the third paragraph, it is finally not a "battle royale", but a "Fortnite" with a similar gameplay.

Epic announced this zombie-fighting tower defense game back in 2011, intending to use this official title to showcase the power of its Unreal Engine 4. Later, due to the rise of mobile games to change the industry situation, the company revised its policy to open Unreal Engine 4 for free to individuals and small studios, and the scheduled debut game lost its promotional significance and fell silent for several years, until it was suddenly released this year, with the same survival competition gameplay as the former, and launched a paid beta version. Thanks to the excellent graphics and entertaining gameplay, it was an instant success, and the free-to-play game sold hundreds of millions of dollars in sales, and the limelight was not small.

In addition to the normal killing equipment, players can also collect building materials such as wood planks and metal, and quickly build various simple buildings in the game, so as to change the terrain to create tactical advantages, build fortresses as covers, build ladders and gods to descend from the sky, and the combination of building system and FPS gunplay gameplay makes the game process full of creativity and various accidents.

Then, the two spectators on the Pacific side were treated to the Fortress player's exclusive death pose.

The protagonist of the video hides in his fortress and kills his opponent, and Xizizi opens the door on the wall to go out to pick up equipment. However, as soon as the door was opened, a rocket hit just in time, directly staging "open the door and wait for death".

Seeing this, the two have already understood that the keywords of this video seem to be "battle royale" and "death". Although foreigners do not have the word "to die", the meaning is the same.

In the fourth stage, he is still a fortress player. The protagonist jumps off the platform he has set up, opens his paraglider and lands behind his opponent, and when he sees that the latter is completely unaware, he simply dances. Because he was too forgetful of jumping, he didn't react when the other party turned his head and found himself, and he was soon blown up and scattered all over the ground.

In the fifth paragraph, the familiar Chinese interface appeared in front of you, which was the "secret realm" that the two had been playing recently.

The female player with the ID of "Yao King" was lying on the grass on the mountain, staring at the two groups of players who were fighting at the bottom of the hillside, waiting for the opportunity for the fisherman to make a profit, and talking to people at the same time. The man in the headset said: "Uncle Police smiled slightly, 'False propaganda price fraud, fake one and three to lose money quickly!' and then the old man who sold the plate lost his pants. ”

Hearing this, the female player's body shook significantly, and then a bright circle of light appeared above her head, and the lilac mecha fell from it, directly smashing her into light. On the screen that turned gray in an instant, the players who were shooting immediately stopped shooting, rushed towards this side with their own means, and then started a new battle around the mech.

Zhang Huan shook her head and sighed lightly, "I saw that Sister Yaoyao's operation was so sharp before, killing all sides with one enemy and one hundred enemies, I didn't expect that she would also miss the time." ”

Fang Junqi pursed her lips and said behind her back: "Her strength is actually just a strong sense of balance, she is good at playing somatosensory games and dance music games, and other games are at an ordinary level." When she encounters an opponent who can't be beaten, she can only find someone to help, and that night in the sect war, she was first beaten by someone and fled in embarrassment, but then she took the initiative to counterattack and burst the cloud group, and she asked Brother Jing to help fight on her behalf. ”

"At that time, I heard her say to wait and open a hanging, and I thought there was some no-kill plug-in in this game. ”

"There is definitely a PC version, but the PT version and mobile games should not be available, after all, it is a console. ”

The "Secret Land Online" terminal game has been released in two versions of PT and PC, and the versions of the other two console platforms of Xbox and PS are also in production. However, for the time being, the mobile game only has a bee system version, and it is indeed not easy to appear plug-ins.

The game runs on the client and must exchange information with the server through the network, which gives the interested people the opportunity to cheat. By intercepting and decrypting communication data, modifying local data, etc., plug-in software can bring players a variety of abilities to disrupt the balance of the game, from perspective to spikes.

In response to the problem of plug-ins, game companies can only try to put key computing on the server side, and use the verification mechanism of cheating software and cheating behavior to suppress the spread of harm with account banning. The latter requires sacrificing server-side/client-side performance, and there is a possibility of lag and mis-blocking. The former can solve these problems, but even if it is done to the extreme, putting all the computing and rendering on the server and turning it into a pure cloud game, it cannot prevent the plug-in program from realizing auxiliary functions such as automatic aiming, automatic shooting, and automatic knife replenishment through graphic recognition.

Compared with open platforms such as PCs and mobile phones, game consoles have a closed system, and the cost of developing and using plug-ins is much higher than that of the first two. The Bee system later introduced the "console mode" and also borrowed this advantage, by improving the performance of the game-focused interface, prohibiting the operation of unverified applications, effectively blocking the operation of key wizard auxiliary programs.

"Hey, what about the exclusive host?" Zhang Ping hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's not that you can't stop the physical hanging and the humanoid hanging." ”

Fang Junqi didn't care much, "If you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it, most of the physics are jokes, how many people in the world have that kind of reaction speed and ability to remember pictures?"

"Yes, I don't know how Mr. Ma's brain grows?" casually sighed, Zhang Huan's tone suddenly changed, and she looked up at her boyfriend, "Tell me, what's going on with that 'selling brother'? Why don't I know?"

Hiding something from his girlfriend is a taboo in life, Fang Junqi can only honestly explain the ins and outs, and tell everything that happened that morning, "That's the case, I came out of the tiger maintenance center that day, and a middle-aged man came over to ......"

At the end, he added, "There were a lot of things that day, and I forgot about it when I was busy, so I didn't mean to lie to you." ”

"Really?" the girl looked at him deeply, mentally remembering the amount to be settled later, and turned her head to continue looking at the tablet.

After such a delay, the video is nearing the end, but this time the protagonist is replaced by a GTA5 player, who drives a motorcycle to the side of the road, takes advantage of the slope to change direction and pulls up into the sky, and has fun rolling and all kinds of show-offs. Then he heard a "bang", he was hit by a passing helicopter, and his body was thrown higher into the sky by the propeller, and his strength proved how dangerous it is to hit a small big one.

After reading it all, Zhang Wan nodded slightly, "Well, this issue is okay." ”

Turning his head to look at the coffee table, his hands rubbed together and instantly became excited, but he was ready to enter the unboxing mode.

"What did you buy again?"

“petpad。 ”

"Huh?" she said quickly, but Fang Junqi still understood.

Pet Pad refers to pet mats for cats and dogs, but together it is the name of Bee Electronics' handheld game console.

Its small front has a popular full-screen design, but the essence is a high-end version of "Tuoma Gezi".

In 1996, the famous consortium B (Bandai) launched the electronic pet game console "Tamagotchi" tamagotchi equipped with a dot matrix LCD screen, which soon became popular in East Asia and spread all over the world, with a total sales of more than 80 million units of more than 40 models in the whole series. As the former group of young players grew up to the point of nostalgia, this old game has been brought back to life.

Noticing the market trend, not only did consortium B launch official mobile games and replica game consoles, but other manufacturers also followed up to launch high-imitation or original electronic pet machines, including Bee Electronics.

The latter's original intention was just to clean up the color screen MP4 inventory,Unexpectedly, it was unintentionally inserted into the willows,This color screen pet machine with IFI is actually very popular,Sales in the first year exceeded one million units。 Now that it has outstanding performance, Bee Electronics naturally has to continue to invest resources, and then there is the third-generation product with a fashionable full-screen appearance, touch screen and blockchain technology in Zhang Ping's hand.

Brother Qi couldn't help but scratch his head, saying that he couldn't understand it even more, "There is a flagship store at the entrance of the bee garden, and you still need to buy their things online?"

"It's different, you don't have this when you buy offline," Zhang Huan pointed to the two security signs on the package.

Ludao is about to hold a multinational summit, and the State Post Bureau issued a notice as usual, requiring relevant enterprises to improve mail inspection standards, and the express delivery sent to Sanfu will be stamped with security checks, and the mail entering Ludao will be re-inspected on the ground, and then there will be those two chapters.

"I'm dizzy," Fang Junqi was speechless for a moment, "You're boring enough." ”

"You don't understand! The BRICS limited courier box is so commemorative?"

Fighting up Yu Yong, Brother Qi reluctantly complained: "You are the first one who has seen stamp collecting, collecting candy paper, and collecting express delivery bills." ”

"Okay, I won't tease you!" Zhang Wan smiled, "This machine of mine is not an ordinary version, and it can't be bought in official stores." ”

"Oh?" the reason was quite plausible, and the boy looked down at the machine that his girlfriend had just taken out of her hand.

Despite its name, the PetPad console looks more like an electronic photo frame, and if you put on a photo frame sticker/case, it will look even more like.

The shell of the one in front of me is obviously custom-made, and the pink diamond-encrusted picture frame looks very girly at first glance.

"It's just a different shell, just look for me, why spend all that unjust money?"

Zhang Huan was busy booting and initializing, and she didn't raise her head and retorted with a smile, "I can do it myself, but what about upgrading the chip?"

"Upgrade the chip?" Fang Junqi was even more surprised.

"Well," the machine started successfully, Zhang Ping opened the "About this machine" page, and pointed to his boyfriend, "The ordinary machine is 512 plus 256, and I changed the processor and memory for this, and now it is dual 2G." ”

"What's the use? It's just a pet machine, how many times more can the performance be increased?"

"It's a big deal!" Throwing her boyfriend a sympathetic look of care for the mentally handicapped, the girl asked: "This thing is the same as Bitcoin, it can be mined and appreciated." ”

Fang Junqi naturally knew what Bitcoin and blockchain were, but this made him frown, "You also went to speculate on coins, be careful to enter the market now and become leeks!"

"No, I can't afford tens of thousands of coins," Zhang Wan shook her head decisively, "I mean, the third-generation petpad introduces blockchain technology into the pet breeding system, and each pet is a special code that determines its appearance and personality, and the generation process is similar to Bitcoin, and it can also be traded and transferred like it." Others are mining, we are warm nests. So the higher the performance of the machine, the more efficient it is to breed kittens and be able to make more money. ”

With the increasing intensity of the central bank's regulatory crackdown, some speculators have withdrawn funds one after another, and then some people have been eyeing this product to buy and hoard frantically, resulting in the sales of equipment hardware and virtual pets both rising, and Bee Electronics and early players have made a profit from it.

"Is this okay?" Fang Junqi frowned slightly, "Can you really make money?"

Zhang Wan smiled and shook her head, "I just got on the boat and didn't understand anything, so if I can't earn it, I should play the game, the game is still quite fun." 2k reading network
