Chapter 313: The Effect of Motion Capture
Old Gold has made its way into the GS1 X device, and the game has also appeared on the big screen.
The GS1 version of Project Xuanjia is similar to the PC version in terms of the login interface and other aspects, the only difference is the performance after entering the game.
This time, Lao Jin is only responsible for playing, and the task given to him by the organizer is to concentrate on playing wonderful operations, and there is a special person in charge of the specific commentary.
Please come to explain an official commentary in the league circle of the Huaxia region of "Road of the Gun God", called Miyu, who is a girl and is also quite popular among FPS players.
Lao Jin skillfully matches his teammates and enters the game.
After choosing the character, the audience erupted in cheers - Lao Jin chose Chanel, which means that the audience can see a girl character in the game.
The in-game screen appears on the big screen, and the skydive process is still similar to that of the PC, but after landing, it is completely different.
In the first two minutes, the big screen is divided into two screens - the big screen is the game screen, and the small screen is the scene inside the GS1 captured by the camera, and you can clearly see that Lao Jin is wearing an action capture suit and holding a gun, and is carefully observing the big screen in front of him.
The main reason for this design is to show players the effect of the action capture suit.
In fact, when the anchor wears the action capture suit, there is no need to use the camera to read the action, and all the action data will be directly transmitted to the device through the capture suit, and synthesized with the game screen through calculation, and played. But this is the first time to show it after all, so players need to clearly see the accuracy of the collection suit.
On the small screen, Lao Jin fell to the ground, he leaned forward sharply, and the roller skates under his feet began to move quickly, moving forward.
He was matched with two teammates, either in person or online. But it didn't matter, Lao Jin didn't care about them, and went to search for things by himself.
This is also the first time that Lao Jin has used GS1 equipment, and deliberately tried some more fancy operations, such as long-distance sliding shovels, sharp turns, etc., and the characters on the screen faithfully reproduce his movements.
Lao Jin also deliberately raised his left hand in the process of running, and made a V gesture, and Xia Neier in the game also made a similar gesture.
The audience immediately erupted in exclamation.
"Oh! Can you read the movements of your fingers? ”
"Yes, didn't you see that the motion capture suit also has a capture module on the fingers?"
"But it feels like the movements of the two people are only 80% similar? There are also subtle movements that seem to make a difference. ”
"Gee, don't force this, you still expect professional motion capture equipment like a game?"
"No, no, no, I heard that this seems to be a deliberate effect......"
Many attentive viewers discovered that Lao Jin's actions were not exactly the same as those made by Xia Naer.
After all, Chanel is a female character, and Lao Jin is a man, if it is perfectly reproduced on Chanel in full accordance with Lao Jin's movements, it will definitely give people a feeling of "Chanel is very gentleman", or it will make the model more like a marionette, with a slight sense of dissonance.
Zhong Ming's approach is to add the action characteristics of the corresponding characters on the premise of retaining Lao Jin's actions.
The movements of these characters are all in motion capture, and their personality traits are preserved as much as possible during the motion capture process, such as Chanel's combination of feminine charm and a little bit of madness, these characteristics are retained.
Of course, this set of things is not particularly mature now, and there are still a little discordant situations occasionally, but it is no longer so conspicuous in the heat of battle.
The small window disappeared after a few minutes of display, and this is mainly to let the audience see the effect of the motion capture suit, and it will be called up again after a while.
On the big screen, Chanel, "played" by Lao Jin, began to scavenge for weapon modules and equipment, and then began to have small frictions with nearby players.
Everyone was surprised to find that this degree of integration is very high!
Judging from Chanel's movements on the screen, this is what Lao Jin is doing, whether it is picking up things, shooting, moving, etc., these operations are obviously different from other players in the game, and the biggest difference is that the accuracy is higher!
The other characters in the game are not wearing action capture suits to play in GS1 equipment, so GS1 cannot read their specific movements, only the data of foot roller skates and the data of the gun simulator, and can know the height and tilt angle of the player's body at this time (through the waist brace), and the specific actions of the player character in the game are generated through a set of fixed templates.
In short, everyone else looks stupid, just like the characters seen on the PC, although each character's gun-wielding movements, shooting actions, and movement movements are very standard, but it is inevitable that there is a sense of sameness; The characters controlled by Lao Jin are different, the gun movements are not so standard, but they are very realistic, and the movements of the whole body when moving can also perfectly match the roller skates.
The action alone is enough to distinguish Lao Jin from other players.
Many players have seen the live broadcast of GAME OMNI before, and later the live broadcast method of GS1 engineering machine (without motion capture) has also been seen by players, but compared with the current live broadcast method, it is completely three generations behind.
GAME OMNI IS A VERY STIFF SHOT OF THE SITUATION INSIDE THE DEVICE, AND THE PLAYER'S ACTIONS HAVE ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IN-GAME SCREEN; When Tang Ying plays in the GS1 engineering machine, the camera equipped with it shoots the player's back through the over-the-shoulder view, and combines it with the game screen after cutting out the picture, which looks like the player is fighting in the game scene, but there is still some drama.
With GS1, the player is truly in the game, and the character can make any gesture in the game, and the character's lips will move when he speaks.
Of course, lip-syncing is not possible, it's just that the microphone detects that the player is speaking and asks the character to move their lips. But that's okay, most people don't care about that.
In other words, the streamer can completely transform into a game character in the game, and pose or say anything as a game character - just like Lao Jin just gestured.
This is definitely a critical innovation for the live streaming experience!
OLD JIN HAS KILLED ALL SIDES IN THE GAME, HE ALREADY HAS EXPERIENCE IN REAL GUN SHOOTING, AND HE OFTEN PLAYS "GUN GOD PATH" AND "RESIDENT EVIL" IN GAME OMNI, AND HE HAS PLAYED THE PC VERSION OF "XUANJIA PROJECT" BEFORE, SO HE QUICKLY GOT STARTED.
The audience who didn't win the lottery was not as sad as before, they all stared at the big screen and were attracted by Lao Jin's wonderful operation.
"What a show!"
"The action is so handsome!"
"It's hard to imagine that these actions are all made by Lao Jin, Xia Neier is flashing around like this, will Lao Jin be dizzy?"
"Probably not, I think he's enjoying it."
"I'm so tempted that I really want to buy one...... It seems that GS1 is much better than GAME OMNI! ”
"I feel like GAME OMNI is going to suffer, and GS1 is obviously prepared!"
Lao Jin played in it for half an hour, experienced the whole game, and when the time was up, all the GS1 devices in the experience store entered a state of pause, and everyone walked out one after another.
Players who have already scanned the code can carry out the next round of the lottery, and the host directly called Lao Jin and commentator Miyu to the stage for interviews.
"So, how does it feel to play in an action capture suit?" The moderator asked.
Lao Jin said excitedly: "It feels good! I thought it would be a very bloated device, but now it doesn't look like it's at all, it feels like I'm wearing a thin autumn suit, and it's close-fitting, and I don't feel anything after getting used to it. ”
"Any idea what you transfer to the big screen looks like?" The moderator asked again.
Lao Jin shook his head: "I don't know, it won't be very embarrassing, right?" ”
The host smiled: "Look at the big screen. ”
On the big screen, Lao Jin's previous game screen was brought up, and several wonderful shots of multiple kills were playing in a loop.
On the screen, Xia Nell, who is "played" by Lao Jin, has a flexible body and accurate marksmanship, holding a shotgun and approaching the enemy quickly in a roundabout way through roller skates, instantly sticking to her face and then knocking down with a few accurate shots, and the whole action is smooth.
"I ...... So handsome? ”
Lao Jin himself was stunned.
Most people are relatively stiff when playing this kind of somatosensory game, because they are usually used to using the keyboard and mouse, and most players' coordination will not be particularly good, and only some people who have practiced dance and fighting will have a relatively good posture.
The host smiled: "So this is another powerful feature of GS1, which combines the player's actions with the actions of the characters in the game through intelligent algorithms, and beautifies the player's actions as much as possible on the premise of ensuring that the actions are consistent, so as to achieve the best picture effect." ”
"Miyu, you haven't started playing yet, but how does it feel to explain this kind of game?"
Miyu took the microphone from Lao Jin's hand: "I have indeed commented on a lot of games before, especially the PC version of "Gun God's Road", overall, I think the OB viewing effect of "Xuanjia Project" is the best in the game I have experienced so far!" ”
"It's not just that the motion capture server allows all players to 'integrate' into the game, but many other details can obviously be seen that "Xuanjia Project" has made a lot of special optimizations for the OB effect of the game. For example, a clear bullet trajectory. The bullet shooting route in "Xuanjia Project" is very obvious, that is, a white line is drawn in the air, and the audience can also see very clearly where the bullet is coming from and who the current player is fighting. ”
"FPS games on PC tend to be broadcast most of the time from a first-person perspective, and the advantage of this perspective is obvious, that is, you can clearly see what the players are doing; But the downside is also obvious, that is, the audience often has no idea about the whole big game, and even if there is a skirmish that is currently taking place, it is not clear who is fighting, because the pros react too quickly, and basically someone will die when they meet. ”
"But the damage reduction and armor of everyone in "Xuanjia Project" are relatively high, the battle lasts longer, the third-person perspective has a wider field of view, and the clear bullet trajectory can also tell where the enemy is, so the viewing experience has also improved a lot."
Lao Jin and Mi Yu spoke freely on the stage, expressing their opinions on this new equipment.
Obviously, both of them really enjoyed the brand new device and the game "Xuanjia Project"!
Many viewers at the scene were already itching to see it, but now listening to the two of them blowing like this, they couldn't help but want to buy it directly.
Several players who have tried the game have already paid with their bracelets directly at the counter.
There are still many players who haven't been drawn, and they can't stop asking players who have just finished the experience.
"How do you feel?"
"Is it really as mysterious as Lao Jin said?"
"Is it better than GAME OMNI? Okay, I bought it too! ”
Players who have completed the experience are unanimously praised.
"It's awesome, buy it!"
"IT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN GAME OMNI, THE SOLUTION IS DIFFERENT."
"The Xuanjia Project is so fun!"
"It is recommended to buy the GS1 X, and if you want to buy it, you must do it in one step."
"I heard that it seems to be out of stock now, so hurry up to buy early and enjoy it early, and if you buy it late, you may have to grab it."
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and the players also ran to the counter to pay, and at least more than 100 units were ordered out of this experience store in the morning!
……
On the car back, Zhong Ming and Lin Xiaoguang both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the new experience store is going well, and it looks like the sales of GS1 should not be too bad, at least it stands." Lin Xiaoguang lay down on the seat of the flying car and let out a sigh.
He has been worrying about GS1 for a long time, for fear that the sales explosion will drag down the "Xuanjia Project", and now it seems that it should not be.
As long as it can gain a foothold, the future work will definitely be to give more games to GS1, and as the game library becomes more and more enriched, GS1's market position will definitely get higher and higher.
"Mr. Zhong, what are you going to do in the next game?" Lin Xiaoguang asked.
Zhong Ming didn't answer immediately: "The next one, I plan to make a console game." Remember when I specifically asked for the GS1 to be made removable? ”
"Kind of fast, right? I thought you were going to make another FPS game. Lin Xiaoguang was a little surprised.
When Zhong Ming participated in the design of GS1 before, he did put forward a request, that is, to make the main engine of GS1 detachable. In fact, both GS1 S and GS1 X do the same, the main unit is detachable, and the price difference between the two is mainly on the main unit.
THIS CONSOLE IS A FLAT BASE, AND THE SIZE IS TWO LAPS LARGER THAN ZHONGMING'S PS4 PRO IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, BUT IT IS LESS CONSPICUOUS IN A DEVICE LIKE THE GS1.
In GS1, its host is directly inserted under the base in front of the player, and it looks basically one from the outside, but the main body of the GS1 X is much larger than that of the GS1 S, and some differences between the two devices can be seen from the outside. There is a relatively hidden button next to the base, and the host body can be taken out after being pressed.
However, these were not introduced at the press conference, because the current GS1 console is just an ordinary console device, and there is only one game on it, "Xuanjia Project", and there is no supporting controller and cable, etc.
GS1's solution is equivalent to a host plus a complete set of analog equipment (including large screens, gun simulators, stands, universal treadmills, etc.), among which the price of the host is relatively not very expensive, GS1 S's host is probably less than 2000, and GS1 X's is more expensive, more than 3700. There are significant differences between the two in terms of configuration and storage capacity, but overall, the GS1 X is a bit cheaper than the GS1 S, after all, it is the highest-spec version, and there must be some premium.
"FPS games are not done for the time being, this kind of game is not much in the fine, players are now paying attention to the "Xuanjia Project", and a new FPS game will be released in the short term, which is equivalent to stealing the limelight with yourself, which is meaningless."
"As for the rest...... The current accumulation of action games is a little insufficient, and I plan to make a simulation strategy game. Zhong Ming said.
