Chapter 21: It's Too Much
The media ratings of "Time and Space Code" have been released one after another, and the long reviews of major game media have also been released, and the media ratings of this game have fluctuated slightly more than the previous games of the Future Oasis, at least the opinions of the media are more divided.
For example, many more "cold" game media or critics criticized the game "Time and Space Code" for its lack of artistry, so they did not give "Time and Space Code" too high a score.
Of course, there is no shortage of people who praise "Time and Space Code", and many mainstream game media have given this game high praise.
"Time Code is an excellent industrial game, and it is a very intuitive reflection of the technological progress of game development. It is like an excellent Hollywood commercial movie, with an exciting story connecting several unique and charming scenes, with the best pictures of this era, novel operation mode, and let people see the arrival of a new era. ”
"That's the era of VR."
"Maybe a lot of 'academic' gamers, or critics who value the artistry of the game, don't really think highly of the game "Time and Space Code", and in their opinion, this game lacks the so-called artistry and is not excellent."
"But in my opinion, Time Code is a great example of the progress of the gaming industry, which is more desirable than the flash of inspiration of an artist, who may give birth to an immortal classic, but the former can revolutionize the entire gaming industry."
"From mosaics to high-definition 3D, from blurry textures to brilliant light and shadow, the advancement of the gaming industry has propelled the gaming industry, and since then our players have a more beautiful world. From moving back and forth with mosaic figurines, to today's almost life-like character modeling. From a two-dimensional maze made up of blocks, to today's open worlds with different styles. Advances in the gaming industry have made the game world more colorful for players. ”
"The Code of Time is a true example of the advancement of the gaming industry, representing that we no longer need to sacrifice the game's graphics to complete the game's VR display, and it also tells us some guidelines for players to act in the VR world."
Many game media have compared the value of "Time and Space Code" to the movie "Avatar", which represented a new milestone in the film industry at that time, and since then, countless 3D movies have sprung up.
Even after many years, a large number of 3D movies still can't compare to the effect of "Avatar" in terms of display effect.
And "Time and Space Code", in their opinion, is a milestone in the game industry, and the shock it brought to them is better than that of 3D movies back then.
There has been a big battle in the media over the artistry of the game or the importance of the development technology, but there is one thing that is unanimous, and that is that the somatosensory mode of "Time and Space Code" has injected soul into the game, as many media have said, the addition of the somatosensory mode has added a lot of extra points to the game.
In somatosensory mode, the content of the game is still the same content, but the experience of the game is not the same as before.
The first batch of players who bought the game and purchased related equipment were some core players accumulated before the future oasis, and passers-by were blocked by the peripherals needed by the game, and many people chose to wait and see, first to see the excitement.
Chen An didn't choose to watch the excitement, but he didn't have much interest in the somatosensory mode, so he bought the game directly and played it in the traditional mode first.
Chen An felt that the experience of the traditional mode was not bad, and the graphics of the game made him feel quite shocked, but he always felt that something was missing.
A few days after the release of the game, the topic of "Time and Space Code" cooled down, and some statistics showed that after the game was released, the search volume of some keywords related to "Time and Space Code" had an upward trend.
In the special edition of "Time and Space Code" of the Oasis community, the discussion of related topics between the somatosensory party and the traditional party has not stopped, and a week after the game was released, there is a trend of intensification.
At the beginning, the two sides were still in an evenly matched trend, and the somatosensory party published the experience of the game in the forum Amway somatosensory mode, and at the same time told other players who were waiting to play that they must play somatosensory mode, at least to buy a glove, so that they are not tired to play, and the game experience has increased significantly.
Using only gloves, the player does not need to run or walk on their own to move the character in the game. By using the different pressure-sensitive areas on the glove, you can make the game character run by swinging your arm slightly while holding down the pressure-sensitive area.
If you swing faster, you can run faster, and if you swing gently and slightly, you can walk slowly. Jumps can be achieved by quickly lifting up, etc. The operation is a little more complicated than the advanced motion mode, but the advantage is that the investment is small and it is not very tiring.
Many players have said that if they can, they must try the advanced somatosensory mode. Many players who have tried the advanced somatosensory mode have said that this feeling is really great, and it is definitely not a loss to experience it, and if you can't afford to buy a device, it is also excellent to find a related experience store to experience it.
"I feel sorry for those who only play the traditional mode, spend hundreds to buy a game, and only end up experiencing half of the content."
"Don't insist on it, try it once, you will change your opinion on VR games, only the "Time and Space Code" with somatosensory mode is the real "Time and Space Code", and the others are crooked."
"I used to swear I would never play any game, but after trying it, all I can say is ...... It smells so good! ”
"It's not just the somatosensory mode, you must play the advanced one if you have the conditions, I tried the advanced somatosensory mode in a VR experience store today, although I was a little tired, but it was really amazing, some people said before that it felt like a crossing, I think it was an exaggeration, but now I can tell you, this is really not an exaggeration."
"I only played for an hour today, and I said I had already booked a spot for the whole day tomorrow! Log in to your Oasis account directly with safe mode, you can load the cloud save, which is very convenient, and I already plan to use the advanced somatosensory mode to complete the game. ”
At the beginning, many players thought that this was the water army hired by those VR experience stores now, and used these topics to attract players, and the two sides fought a wave at the beginning.
But gradually, this voice became quieter, and as more and more players experienced "Time and Space Code", coupled with the unanimity of the media, the traditional parties could not resist and gradually gave up resistance.
They accept the reality that traditional modes don't fully experience the joy of the game compared to the game's somatosensory mode.
In addition to some people who have strong beliefs, players who have only played the traditional mode before have also begun to try the somatosensory mode by Amway. And the group of players on the previous official website, when they entered the pit, they also started directly from the somatosensory mode.
At this time, the popularity of "Time and Space Code" has risen again, and this time the popularity of the game is no longer limited to gamers, but also the popularity of VR related stakeholders has begun to spread among the majority of young people.
Many people have heard that now there is a VR game, and it really feels like a time travel, very real.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a game console, it doesn't matter if you don't have VR equipment, the major VR experience stores like you open their doors and spend a little money to experience this cross-era masterpiece, and you won't lose money.

On weekends, according to his previous habits, Chen An would sleep until at least noon or afternoon on weekends to comfort his tired soul caused by a week's work, and to take a good rest and recuperate to embrace the fatigue of the next week.
After waking up, he would order a takeout, and then nest in his room, play games when there are games, and watch videos when there are no games to play, anyway, it is impossible to go out.
However, this weekend, Chen An uncharacteristically did not continue to stay at home, and after getting up at noon, he cleaned himself up, found a loose set of clothes, and went out to a commercial center closest to his home.
The commercial center on the weekend, the flow of people, is everywhere, as an excellent otaku, Chen An has nothing to do with the current charge, and he is not here for a date.
After eating a happy meal in the fat house, Chen An went to the twelfth floor of this building, which has the largest entertainment center in the vicinity.
This is a serious entertainment center, the full name is a certain video game e-sports center, and now the e-sports industry is hot, and it is still very good to hang the name of e-sports.
For example, this place often organizes e-sports competitions, and it is also very popular.
It is an integrated electronic entertainment center that occupies an entire floor, divided into four separate areas by glass walls. The largest area is the e-sports center area here, Chen An has been here before, and now a small competition is being held here.
However, his destination today is not here, but the glass room next to it, and he came here today to experience the advanced somatosensory mode of the legendary "Time and Space Code".
After being hit by Amway on the Internet and watching all kinds of fancy blows, Chen An, who was not interested in physical sensation at all, also decided to try it himself, but if the experience was not good, he decided to go to the forum to criticize it.
If the experience is good, it is naturally the best.
According to past experience, this VR experience area is usually relatively empty, let alone queuing, and it is already very good that those machines can maintain a high load of operation, and most of the time there are several empty machines.
This video game center is still very professional, the design of this VR area is very comfortable, with green curtain-like materials, this area is divided into an independent space, each space looks almost ten square meters, very spacious.
After all, when playing VR games, you may make some strange actions, not everyone likes to play games like this in public, and you can't see the outside world with VR, which always feels very strange.
Such a split design can better ensure his privacy, at least Chen An doesn't like to play games under the gaze of others.
"I'm sorry, we don't have any spare space here, I'm very sorry."
When Chen An walked to the counter, he was thinking that he would play for a few hours today, just experience it for an hour or two, but play for a while and play directly until the end of dinner in the evening.
Just when he was still struggling, the beautiful clerk said to him in a nice voice.
"What?"
Chen An didn't hear it clearly at first, so he asked again.
"We don't have any seats available right now, and all the VR slots are full, so I'm sorry."
Full?
Chen An was a little surprised, it was quite empty before.
Glancing around, he found that there were many more people here today than before, not only were there people in every seat, but also his companions, who were almost full.
Obviously, there is still an e-sports competition being held next door, why is it full here, this is not scientific.
"How long will I wait, I can wait."
Chen An asked, it was difficult to make a trip, he thought that he could go upstairs to watch a movie first, and then come back when the time was almost up, he remembered that this place could be booked in advance.
"It's all full this afternoon, so there's no time to spare, so I'm very sorry."
The clerk showed him the relevant interface, and all the time slots on it were marked in red, indicating that someone had already paid.
"The slots for tonight and tomorrow afternoon are also full, and there are a few slots left for tomorrow morning, do you want to make a reservation?"
Chen An saw that there were still a few green areas tomorrow morning, from 9 to 12 o'clock, three hours.
What's going on?
Although he knows that "Time and Space Code" has become popular recently, it shouldn't be like this, and the game sales are not very explosive now.
"Ah, there's no place?"
Behind Chen An, there was a girl's disappointed voice, and this girl seemed to be pulling her boyfriend in.
"If you don't have a place, forget it, let's watch a movie." The boy comforted her.
"No, I heard that this game called time and space is really fun, and my circle of friends is talking about this now." The girl said.
Many people in the VR area now are actually not the players who bought "Time and Space Code" before, they are purely brought by the recent popularity of related topics, so let's try it.
Chen An quickly turned his head and said to the clerk's sister, "I have booked the time slot tomorrow morning." ”
Damn, you have to get up early to play a game, why do this group of current chargers have to grab the game console with them, it's too much!
