In the middle of summer in August, the heat wave in Yandu is rolling, and for college students, the Internet café outside the campus has become a good place to relax and enjoy the coolness.

However, An Daoyuan and Wu Kang did not go to the Internet café to enjoy the coolness, but went to the Internet café to engage in "DOOM5" five consecutive sittings.

Cicada's game studio, SynaCyber, released the demo version of "DOOM5" half a month ago, and the gaming industry has also ushered in another wave of enthusiasm since the open beta of "Galaxy of Illusions" in June.

For An Daoyuan and them, "Galaxy of Illusions" has become a daily necessity, and it is no longer just entertainment, so pure entertainment falls on "DOOM5".

Unfortunately, DOOM5 was developed entirely on the Clover Architecture, and playing on their old computer did not experience the power of the Alfalfa engine under the new architecture, the 2K resolution of the 27-inch monitor, or the 1080P resolution of the VR glasses, the visual effects and the 4K resolution of the 42-inch monitor are also two worlds, so they had to choose to go to the Internet café.

The Internet café they entered has a history of more than ten years, it was first called Xinxing Internet Cafe, later it was called Xinxing Internet Cafe, and three months ago it changed its signboard and called "Xinxing Internet Sports Field".

That's right, the concept of "Internet café" is also outdated, and if someone goes outside to drink coffee and chat about office, they will only be ridiculed as an outdated petty bourgeoisie. Just like in the era of smartphones, men still have a delicate small package mobile phone under their armpits, or a small bag on their belts to put their mobile phones.

Now the new concept is "tennis field", where you go to play VR games or enjoy team games, and you are all rushing to play. The difference is that in addition to traditional games that only use the hands and brain, there are more somatosensory games that can move the body.

"Yo. The sowing ship is coming", the network manager greeted them: "We just opened a new area, all of them are clover plus alfalfa card high configuration, double i9 plus double 990, Intel Core and Nvidia 100 word number of the last generation of the king, plus 42-inch 4K large screen。 Enough for you to be cool! ”

An Daoyuan and Wu Kang are full of vitality and popularity in the school, because the dormitory number 704 is the same as the guard number of Gu Feng Changdao, the protagonist of "Sidnia", and they were nicknamed "Sowing Boat" by good deeds.

Hearing such a luxurious configuration, An Daoyuan shouted: "So awesome!? Your boss is really angry! ”

Wang Tang raised his glasses and muttered, "It must be expensive, right?" ”

"Now it's a 50% discount, five dollars an hour!" The webmaster spreads its palm. Tell them with a sincere expression that this price is really cheap.

An Daoyuan called poor: "Damn! I've worked hard to get a DNA fragment for only eight dollars! ”

"No wonder your An Xiaocian laughs at you for being simple-minded all day long, it turns out that you are busy moving bricks in "Phantom Galaxy", Mi Sining smiled: "Can't you find something to do with a high creation index?" Qiu Guan and I made audio source feature designs for several video groups, with thousands of dollars per order. ”

"Trench! Be a friend! An Daoyuan hugged Qiu Guan, who was nodding: "You have a treat today!" ”

Wu Kang slapped An Daoyuan's buttocks: "If you want to engage in the base, you should also pay attention to the occasion, and there are girls behind." ”

With his chest and abdomen raised, and looking around intently, An Daoyuan instantly changed his image: "Sister? Where? Where!? ”

"Swipe my card. Each person sets two hours first", Wu Kang was too lazy to pay attention to the goods. I went through the formalities with the network administrator.

"Alas, it's less than sixty points, it's far from my little cicada" When he went to Hall F, An Daoyuan was still muttering: "It's a pity that the little cicada can't bring it here, and she always feels that something is missing if she can't play the game." ”

"Only people like you can raise people to RBQ", Wu Kang was really speechless to this guy.

Five people were seated. lined up, and after a while, the originally deserted area became lively.

"The old way Lao Kang is contained in the middle of the road! Don't rush! ”

"Old Guan, you block the bridge, pay attention to the snipers, if you can't stop it, you will knock off the bridge!"

"Wang, I have to rush! I put down the two of them! Ah! Rush is. They're messed up already! ”

"Old Dao, are you still here!? Forget it, keep up! ”

"Be careful! Their shadows have sneaked behind! Lao Kang, you go take care of it! ”

The five people were screaming, but fortunately, they were all wearing mask-type headsets, which did not affect the others very much.

The scene on the screen has a strong cyberpunk flavor, and between the changes of light and darkness, beams of various colors of rays come and go, mixed with fireworks and vibrations.

The first four generations of the DOOM franchise are about the not-too-distant future (the year 2145 for the film adaptation) when humanity has entered the space age. Large corporations like the United Space Corporation (UAC) control space and help the U.S. military research on all sorts of hacked technologies like portals.

UAC discovered the relics of life on Mars, and scientists wanted to develop genetic recombination technology that allowed people to freely shuttle between portals according to the characteristics of the relics, but they did not expect to open the gates of hell.

The catastrophe first came in the form of a virus, an individual was corrupted into various monsters, and then the gates of hell opened, not only devouring the Martian base, but also opening a portal on the earth, spreading the disaster to the earth.

The player plays the role of a U.S. Marine who kills from 1 to 4, killing all the way, with no plot, no puzzle solving and collecting elements, and the pursuit of hearty sensory stimulation.

The DOOM series, like its contemporaries Return to Wolfenstein and QUAKE, is a product of the early days of 3D technology, and the plot shows the ignorant people's fear of genes, quantum physics, or other cutting-edge technologies, plus the eternal hell of the West, the Nazis and other evil forces, and the pursuit is to make players happy.

This is also the reason why DOOM3 to DOOM4 failed, and the advancement of 3D technology has made it impossible for players to be satisfied with pure sensory stimulation, whether it is the old Call of Duty series or the emerging Witcher series, the direction is to create a more realistic, more immersive, and fully immersive virtual world for players.

But the arrival of DOOM5 means another video game cycle starting anew. Of course, this has been seen on Galaxy of Illusions.

How do you make players experience a more realistic virtual world?

Of course, it's a good kill......

So when SynaCyber took over the development of DOOM5, they set the goal of making the game a "new level of sensory stimulation", and they were confident that they had the Sativa Engine in their hands.

Of course, to declare that this is the next chapter in the DOOM franchise, SynaCyber has expanded on the background of its predecessor.

The game is about the end of human civilization in the original world of DOOM. The remnants of humanity relied on the remnants of previous civilizations and redeveloped after two hundred years.

Except for some small easter eggs that pay homage to the previous game, all aspects of the game's setting can be seen as a new game. For example, the plot background is more three-dimensional and complex.

In the game, scientists who study previous civilizations discover that the so-called "Hell" is nothing more than an alien civilization that can corrupt the human mind. Although "Hell" has been destroyed, the impact on the remaining human beings has always been there, and people have begun to alienate in various aspects.

History is always repeating itself, at some point. Another hell gate opened somewhere in deep space in a human research space station, for which humanity formed a huge space fleet to engage it, relying on the efforts of demonic warriors, the two sides barely reached a draw. But at this time, the demonized warriors began to mutate and attack humans frantically, and humanity was in a desperate situation of internal and external troubles.

Players are faced with two choices in the game, either they are mutated demonized warriors. Abilities and infernal weapons similar to infernal demons can be wielded, or they are unmutated. But the human elite with special abilities and the powerful weapons left over from previous civilizations are two opposing camps.

In the story mode and battle mode in the demo version, players can only play as human elites, fight demons or demonized warriors, and even fight human elites from different organizations.

The plot is just a very detailed tutorial. What players really enjoy is the thrill of the versus mode.

In DOOM5, the changes to the game brought to the game by the Sativa engine are completely revolutionary, there is no such thing as "molding" anymore, the physics collisions are completely realistic, and there are no texture issues.

Game-built mannequins. Including the skin layer, muscle layer, bone layer and internal organ layer, the realism even exceeds the 3D model of the human body used for research in medical research institutions. That model is already the ultimate expression of traditional 3D engine technology with server support.

The sports performance in the game is also a real reproduction, the human elite controlled by An Daoyuan was shot in the abdomen by the enemy, the gaps in the armor, the wounds and shrapnel in the mannequins, and the blood lost are all real in the game.

This greatly reduced his character's ability to exercise and judge, and the emergency shot could only stop the bleeding and stimulate the character to stay awake, but there was no way to recover his combat effectiveness. He had to retreat to the rear base, seeking healing from the base robots.

Wu Kang suddenly shouted, "Shadow! I'm killed! Be careful! ”

On the map, Wu Kang's green dot disappeared, and a red dot flashed at Wu Kang's location and disappeared as well.

is different from the heavily armored character chosen by An Daoyuan, this kind of "shadow" who wears optical camouflage armor and moves quickly has always been a stealing character, and it is difficult to play well if it is not a high-level game.

If the base support is destroyed, the team will not be able to sustain its combat effectiveness. Stealing reinforcements and intercepting halfway is a routine of shadow warfare.

Wang Tang, who was in charge of the command, shouted: "Farewell to the old road!" Wait for the old rice to come back! ”

Mi Sining's character is the shadow, and only the shadow can calmly deal with the shadow.

"It's too late! Look at me! WuuuuWaaaa——！ ”

An Daoyuan looked at Mi Sining's location on the map, and then looked at Wu Kang's location, shouted, accelerated suddenly, and sprinted forward in a daze. There was a thick concrete wall ahead, but he showed no signs of changing direction or stopping.

With a bang, the concrete wall was knocked open, and a large piece of rubble flew out, lighting up a spot of light somewhere, which was the reaction of the optical camouflage after being hit.

"Mouse! Hugh away! ”

An Daoyuan's stout figure loomed in the dust, he raised the armored arm on one side, and the six-barreled Vulcan Gauss cannon let out a low whining sound, and countless points of light emitting a dazzling orange light shot out, converging into a thick metal jet, covering the entire area in that direction.

A red dot appears. Disappearing again, a cloud of fireworks tore a human body to shreds, and the screen saw the first-person view of the shattered equipment and limbs crackling against the helmet.

An Daoyuan muttered, "Ma! The blood is still black! If only VR eyes could play! ”

Wu Kang said: "It's good if you don't change the explosion effect, as for the VR glasses, Oculus's alfalfa version." 4K picture quality, the effect is much worse than the monitor, 9,000 yuan, you go buy it. ”

An Daoyuan smiled, he couldn't afford it, and then said triumphantly: "How?" When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! If there is no road, let's rush out of one! ”

Wang Tang was so angry that he was about to jump to his feet: "You bastard!" Broke the medical robot in our hometown! ”

The others raised their middle fingers at him.

An Daoyuan scratched his head: "Huh!?" Is it really broken? Didn't pay attention to ......"

A voice next to him said, "The reaction is very fast, but the heart eye is single-threaded, it's a pity." ”

"Hey! You know ......."

An Daoyuan was suddenly furious. Since the beta of DOOM5 began, he has been ranked quite high in this class as a heavy fireman. Now someone actually taught him that he still sounds like a little boy!

Turning his head to look, he suddenly froze, and after two seconds, he turned his head with a whoosh, and said with a lack of breath: "Man." Isn't it all like that? Haha......"

Wu Kang and the others took a look, oh! It's a girl!

Good-looking. He is tall and has dark skin, which is a very healthy wheat color. The short ponytail dangled at the back of his head, and the pair of black and white almond eyes were not big, but he felt flustered when he looked at him, and the whole person was full of vitality and youthful beauty.

"Haven't we taken it very seriously? Look at you, too. Try it with a veteran? ”

Wu Kang was sitting next to Andaoyuan, and he got up and gestured to his sister to invite him to take a seat.

Good buddy!

An Daoyuan couldn't wait to hug Wu Kang and kiss him......

"DOOM5 has only been in beta for a short time, so I really didn't expect that Yanhua would have a team like you here, so it's good. Just one game! ”

The sister's words suddenly changed the mentality of Wulianxing, and even An Daoyuan wanted to crook the corners of his mouth towards the sister, sister, have you practiced the clam technique to the ninth layer? Such a big breath!

"Xiaolian, you can play casually first, wait for me for a while!"

The girl shouted behind her back, and then sat down neatly.

Twenty minutes later, the girl took off the headset and nodded: "Yes, although you are not very outstanding personally, and the command is also a little conservative, but your understanding of the game is still very good, and the cooperation is passable." In our area, we are also eligible for the five-star competition. ”

She got up and patted An Daoyuan's shoulder very manly: "If it's just playing, don't pay attention to these words." Isn't the game just for fun, and among the people who are looking for fun, it's really good. ”

When the girl left, Wu Kang, who didn't know where he went, appeared, looked at the four people with heavy faces, and was very stunned: "You guys...... What's going on? ”

An Daoyuan smashed his head on the keyboard, looking loveless, and sighed, the breath seemed to be lifted from the rectum, penetrated the abdomen, and then spit out of his mouth.

Wang Tang pushed his glasses and said, "The good news is that we just won the ninth-ranked team!" ”

Mi Sining slumped in her seat and muttered, "The bad news is that we are all dead in the second half, and that girl is a five-to-five comeback!" ”

Qiu Guan looked at An Daoyuan and said with a smile: "For Lao Dao, I don't know if it's good news or bad news, he has become a meat shield for his sister, and he is used as bait by his sister when he dies......"

On the way back to school, seeing An Daoyuan's dejected appearance, Wu Kang bumped him with his elbow: "Today, Prometheus PC has a new clothing bag, which is interesting, do you want it?" ”

An Daoyuan shook his head: "Don't ......"

Wu Kang clapped his hands: "Great! An Xiaocia is finally going to get rid of the fate of RBQ! ”

"Old Dao Sichun, we are relieved!"

"I'm really afraid that the old way is dissatisfied, wearing VR glasses, and which of us will be unconscious!"

"Yes, aren't we going to scrape together money to buy a doll that can be linked with Prometheus? It seems that it can be saved. ”

Others followed suit.

"It's like I'm the only one training the AI, which of you isn't!"

An Daoyuan's face couldn't stand it, and he started to fight with them while talking.

The five of them entered the school gate noisily, saw a jumping figure on the basketball court, and stopped in unison.

It's that girl, playing a three-step layup by herself......

Wu Kang said: "I just talked to her companions, they are from Yandu University of Technology, and they are both sophomores. ”

Many people on the periphery of the stadium cowered and did not dare to move, and the plain and steady Wang Tang didn't know where the courage came from, so he ran over: "I'll go first!" ”

"Lao Wang deserves to be Lao Wang!"

"Without us, what is the value of Lao Wang?"

"If you eat alone, you won't be the king next door!"

The others followed, and Wu Kang looked at An Daoyuan: "Are you afraid?" ”

An Daoyuan gritted his teeth: "Who is afraid of whom!?" ”

Seeing him striding towards the court, Wu Kang was very emotional, this is youth!

"Wu Kang ——!"

Another girl beckoned to him from outside the court, who was the same girl on the court, and he hurried towards the girl.

That's right, this is youth...... (To be continued.) )

PS: Why do you skip to August, don't be in a hurry......

Why do you write about An Daoyuan and Wu Kang, because they will be the first generation to be most affected by new technology and change their fate because of new technology......
