Chapter 376: AR Games
The major media are shocked that a game can actually set off a patriotic craze around the world, or even around the world.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this phenomenon is actually an inevitability.
The realistic game experience allows players to experience a baptism of "war" in an immersive way, and seeing war movies on TV and experiencing war are obviously two different concepts. This is like those old people who have participated in the Anti-Japanese War watching war movies and the new generation of young people watching anti-war movies, and the understanding of the two is definitely not on the same level.
In this regard, in addition to the major entertainment media giving a wide range of positive comments on this "World War", some official media that rarely involve the entertainment field have also reported on this game to varying degrees.
Huaxia New Youth Daily: Experience the war in the game and feel the feelings of the martyrs in the war, "Counter-Strike: Global Strategy" allows young people to have a deeper understanding of the patriotic feelings of the revolutionary ancestors.
The official account of the Chinese Communist Youth League posted: The game can be pure entertainment or edutainment, give CSGO a thumbs up to the new world!
Not only the domestic media, but also the foreign media have a very high evaluation of this game.
Global Times: The impact of this global war is wide and far-reaching, from the field of video games, this is a rare epic masterpiece, but its significance has gone far beyond the game itself, it has made today's young people more active to understand American history, and inspired young people's patriotic feelings that have been forgotten, just like the song "beyond the game" in the new world, CSGO has gone beyond the game itself!
Of course, another key point where CSGO has been noticed by major media outlets is the bold innovation of the game.
The authoritative website in the field of electronic technology in the United States, "Electronic Frontier Network" wrote: New World Games once again showed the world its strength in the field of video games, when the world war is finally over, we finally have time to look back and see, this game that everyone can't stop, what are the incredible technological innovations.
The article lists many highlights of the game, but the most important one is the "world map" that shocked countless players at the beginning.
"Using the NGPS system, the entire world map is completely transplanted to the game, which makes all players who enter the game instantly feel that they are in the game, or it is not accurate to say that, it should be said that the game is around, and the world war is around you, which makes the game do not need any twists and turns in the plot to make players instantly have a strong sense of substitution. ”
"With a sense of substitution, when players from other countries invade, domestic players will naturally not stand idly by, and the most real reaction of all players has also promoted the deepening of the sense of substitution of other players, so a real world war full of blood and tears is displayed in front of players!"
"Here, the role of NGPS is very obvious, we have 288 satellites above our heads at the same time, at any given time, above the same area, there are 12 satellites working, they can observe the area from multiple angles, and also provide a lot of data support for the new world to draw this world map, so we can be fortunate to see the buildings we live in the game. ”
This report is still relatively professional, but the "Electronic Frontier Network" is still not as good as Lindy's in terms of its understanding of games.
In fact, the technology that Lindy has tried in the last two games is related to a new technology in the gaming industry, which is known as AR games on Earth.
AR, the full name of Augmented Reality, translated as "augmented reality", is a technology that integrates real world information and virtual world information "seamlessly", and the physical information (visual information, sound, and even taste, touch, etc.) that is difficult to experience in a certain time and space range in the real world is superimposed through computer and other science and technology, and then superimposed after simulation, so as to apply virtual information to the real world and be perceived by human senses, so as to achieve a sensory experience beyond reality.
The real environment and virtual objects are superimposed in real time and exist in the same picture or space at the same time.
This technology requires camera support, but Lindy replaced the camera with NGPS, and to map the world, a camera is not enough.
What makes CSGO different from real AR technology is that Lindy doesn't put the battlefield in reality, and if he did, the realism of the game would definitely be stronger, but as a game, Lindy can't expect players to actually take a train to the border to participate in the battle.
So, Lindy still puts the battlefield in the virtual space, and strictly speaking, CSGO is not a real AR game.
In contrast, Global Farm is a true AR game.
In general, VR technology is to allow players to enter the virtual space, and AR technology is to bring virtual items to reality, both of which are forms of expression of virtual reality games.
On Earth, there are only a handful of games based on these two technologies, and they are not mature, and Lindy, an old player, has long been left with little interest in general games, so for him, these two modes are what he wants to try very much now.
While the society is still talking about the world war that has just ended, the second game that Lindy modified for Xiaoxin Game has been completed.
It took more than a dozen days to complete, and for a game that is already an AR game in its own right, Lindy has taken a lot of time. It's just that this game did cause a lot of sensation in the early days of the earth's launch, but there are many problems with the gameplay of this game, the game's performance in the middle and late stages is weak, and Lindy has been delayed for so long because of a lot of changes to the gameplay.
Sending the game to Zhuang Zheng, Lindy planned to take a break, he opened the website forum, and the paving was still the afterheat of the world war.
"Huaxia players, your performance is very respectable, but the next time we start a world war, we won't give you another chance!"
"Russian players are really bad, they have been quiet, and they will come out to harvest when other countries are almost done!"
"This world war is considered to have learned, it is not okay to blindly act brutely, we must pay attention to strategy, I hope that the next time the new world has a fourth world war, it can release an announcement in advance, so that players have more time to plan!"
"By the way, when will the Fourth World War come out? This time, Lao Tzu hung up a long time ago, and watched the live broadcast for several days......
"The managers of the new world take a look here, can you tell me when you will organize the next world war? I dare say, the next world war will definitely be more exciting than this one!"
"Out of World War, the investment in the new world should not be small, the server, the network, can accommodate so many players, the cost will definitely not be low. ”
"If you can't do it, you can charge it, and the CSGO download is only 100 yuan, which is really conscientious. If we can have another world war, it is acceptable for us to spend some money, of course, the prices in the new world are also a bit scary, in short, not too expensive. ”
Lindy frowned slightly, the player's suggestion is good, next time you go out in the world war, it's good to have a fee to participate, don't be too expensive, the registration fee of 50, even if 2 billion people participate, there will be 100 billion.
Silently write down this important point in your little notebook.
While Lindy was still browsing the forum, Retinal Imaging received a solemn call request.
"Plug in. ”
In Lindy's eyes, solemnity was already "standing" in front of him.
"Boss, the game has been received, your understanding of the game is indeed very deep, and you have modified several problems in the game. Said solemnly and calmly.
"Solemn, you've learned to pat yourself on the back too. Lindy said, turned around and poured a cup of tea, sat on the chaise longue with a teacup in one hand, and with the thought of his brain, a small wooden table rose from the side of the chaise longue, Lindy put the teacup on the table, "Let's get to the point, you can talk about it, what's wrong with this game?"
Yan Yan also sat in his office chair.
"The most important questions are two points. ”
"First, in terms of the playability of the game, the growth of the game is very limited. The purpose of this game is very simple, basically to collect pets, if the game is played for a long time, this kind of fun, the freshness will become less and less. ”
"Second, there is a big problem with AR games, that is, security risks, this game on the earth, caused a lot of accidents, some players were shot because of breaking into private residences, some players grabbed pets while driving, causing car accidents, in some important places, such as the military, religious sites, due to the player's trespassing, causing a very bad impact. ”
Lindy nodded, and what he said solemnly was actually pretty much the same.
"Another thing is that we can't expect players to go out all day to catch pets, knowing that everyone's range of activities is only a little bit larger. Beyond this range, the few times the player is acceptable, but the more times the player may not have patience or time and energy to complete the collection. Lindy added a little.
Solemn nodded.
"So, this time I divided the game into two parts, one is the virtual world and the other is the real world, in short, I turned this simple AR game into a game that combines VR and AR. ”
"Combining AR and VR?!" was also a little surprised on his solemn face.
Lindy's idea is already very bold. Players can enter the virtual world, and at the same time, items from the virtual world can also come to the present world......
Lindy nodded slightly.
What will happen when AR and VR are combined, and reality and virtual are combined?
