Chapter 145 The quality of man and machine needs to be reduced

Despite the interference of man-machine with huge quality differences, Xu Liang finally got his driver's license.

The difficulty is too low.

Maybe Tianba Studio doesn't want to block players in the driver's license level, so the difficulty is basically just a hand.

The original intention of setting up this driving test should be to give players a preliminary understanding of the game's very poor quality of human and machine drivers, and at the same time understand the difference between "Speed and Rush" and other racing games.

In simple terms.

The red light has to stop, unless you don't care about the 10-second time penalty. But under normal circumstances, those ten seconds are still deadly.

Giving way to pedestrians and changing lanes with a large traffic flow is also a game skill that must be mastered, otherwise you will wait for the bottom.

Fortunately, this kind of strange road condition is only encountered in the city.

The game map is large, and there are many events for players to choose from, not necessarily all of them are such disgusting urban complex road conditions, but there are also other roads.

Xu Liang connected with his friends and signed up for several online events.

As a result, it is obvious that he doesn't play this kind of racing game much, and his driving skills are too inferior, and his speed is far inferior to that of his good buddies, and he is often ranked at the bottom.

Fortunately, it's a demo.

In the demo version, the game currency can't be spent directly, the event rewards are dispensable, and the bottom of the ranking is not much different from the first ranking, anyway, everyone is not short of this reward.

However, after playing two competitions, Xu Liang found that the durability of the new car he had just bought had dropped below 50%, indicating that it needed to be maintained.

"Why did it fall so fast?"

My friend was a little curious, the car they bought at the same time also participated in the same number of competitions, why is his car still very durable, but Xu Liang's car is about to die?

"I think it's been a few hits."

When he said this, Xu Liang said with some hesitation: "Have you noticed that the physics engine of this game seems to be wrong?" ”

"Something is really wrong."

Friends also realized.

The two played for almost half an hour and participated in several competitions, and almost all of them felt the most unusual thing about the game "Speed Hurricane".

Physics Engine!

Playing other similar games, crashing and scraping is a common thing, generally speaking, if you hit it, you will be hit, at most you will waste a little time, and it will not have any effect.

But in this game......

First of all, the simulation of the collision is very realistic, and the airbags are deployed. Even after a crash, the performance of the vehicle can be greatly affected.

Xu Liang has already found out.

He hit the guardrail once before, because the cornering speed is not very fast, so the damage is not particularly serious, but the left headlight is broken.

As a result, in another race, when entering a tunnel, he pressed the J key to turn on the headlights, and the car screen showed "headlights damaged".

This made his eyes widen.

No way?

He and his friends bought a Dizi tram, and as we all know, these new energy trams like to add a large screen in the car.

Based on his previous gaming experience, he and his friends think that this screen is an ornament, and although it can display navigation, it will also display navigation.

Can the car machine in the game still be as smart and easy to use as the real car machine?

Impossible!

It's just a game, how can it simulate a real car machine page? If you can do this, it will be too rebellious.

But after the incident of the car lights, Xu Liang tried to manipulate the car machine, and the results showed ......

The car machine in the game is indeed interactive! Buttons such as window lifting, sunroof switching, and air conditioning in the car can all be interacted with.

It's too abstract!

In addition to the interior of the vehicle, the vehicle in this game also has a feature that is not a characteristic, which is also what makes Xu Liang feel very special.

The scratch of the car paint is really scratched!

If the bumper is broken, it is really broken, and if the window glass is broken, it is really broken, and it can only be sent to the repair shop for replacement and repair, and there is no possibility of automatic repair.

Xu Liang looked at his car.

The hood is curved and cocked, the doors are visibly scratched, and the front face is miserable......

These are the wounds left by his race track, I thought it would be repaired automatically, but I didn't expect to repair a wool, and every place had to spend money to repair the shop for a new one or do sheet metal painting.

"The physics engine is fantastic."

"I turned on the manual mode, and although I was using the mouse and keyboard, I could really feel the surging power of the engine at low and high revs."

"And in this case, the noise heard in the headphones will be significantly louder......

So real?

When Xu Liang heard this, he immediately became interested.

He also bought a gasoline car and went to experience the manual transmission mode that his friend said. Indeed, as he said, in this mode, the sense of control and realism is simply full.

How?

Xu Liang was puzzled, like this kind of racing game, generally speaking, the vehicles are empty shell 3D modeling, and there are just a bunch of different command codes.

No one will give the interior of a car a special detail, real sense of linkage.

But "Rush" gives people the feeling that every car in the game is not just an empty shell model, but actually has an engine and transmission running in it.

Waterfa?

How is this possible!

Xu Liang also felt that he was thinking too far, a game is a game, and no matter how good the physics engine is, it is impossible to make all the details of a car.

He must have been overthinking.

……

Not only Xu Liang and his friends found the physics engine of "Extreme Hurricane" very strange, but other people who participated in the offline trial also noticed the abnormality.

By switching the inside and outside of the car.

Some players have discovered that the vehicle's shock absorber is really working when the vehicle is passing over a potholed road.

And when the wheels pass through potholes, the tires will also appear significantly crushed!

"It's not a delusion!"

In the face of a large number of players' questions, Chen Ba explained at the scene: "We have an extremely powerful physics engine and apply it to the game......"

The demo version does not have a dimensional modification feature.

So at this time, players don't know that Tianba Studio has really added interior details to each car.

If they can dismantle the car if they have a modification and repair function, then they will know how powerful this physical engine is.

For example......

In other racing games, there is absolutely no such problem as "engine carbon deposit", and there is no such phenomenon as oil leakage and battery loss and cannot ignite.

But in the game of "Speed Rush", these problems really arise!

Of course!

At this time, even if he told the players, most of them would not believe it, so Chen Ba did not tell the truth.

Anyway, when the game is released, with features such as maintenance and modification upgrades, they will know how powerful this physics engine is.

The biggest selling point of "Speed Hurricane", and the core selling point that distinguishes it from similar games, is actually this physics engine.

Only after playing this game will you know that the original games where a car is driven countless times and there is no fault at all are all idealized scenarios.

The real racing car is probably the same as in "Extreme Hurricane", with a maintenance in three days and a major repair in five days, focusing on a delicate and frail body.

If you don't play the game "Rush", you don't know that there is such a thing as brake failure......

What?

Haven't encountered this in the game you play? Is it possible that you are playing a game that doesn't have the most powerful physics engine in Rush?

"But then again......"

"Brother Ba, our demo is a bit shabby! Many players say that there is so little content to experience! ”

Xiao Lu said with a headache.

In this offline trial, the demo they provided didn't add much content, and it couldn't even talk about the semi-finished product.

Players came with great expectations, but after only experiencing such a little game content, they naturally felt dissatisfied and thought that Tianba Studio lacked sincerity.

"There's no way!"

Chen Ba sighed and said, "The time is too short, it's good that we can come up with a demo." ”

What more bikes?

Do you really think that developing a game is a matter of building blocks? If it weren't for the most difficult and critical parts, all of which were solved by Tie Hanhan's system, they probably wouldn't even be able to get a demo at this time.

"In fact, our R&D progress is very fast compared with the same industry."

This is not Chen Ba's boasting.

In fact, because of the Tie Hanhan system, the cycle of Tianba Studio's development of a game is incredibly fast compared to its competitors.

But even so, it's a bit difficult to make a semi-finished version of a masterpiece in such a short period of time.

"Extreme Hurricane" is a masterpiece!

The price of this game, not surprisingly, will be around 120 yuan, and the gold version will even reach 150 yuan or even 160 yuan.

It is impossible for a game of this level to be like "Cold Window Reading Simulator", where he can make a finished product in two or three months alone.

To put it mildly.

If you ask Tianba Studio to develop a game similar to "Cold Window Reading Simulator" and "Simulator under the Fence", one month is completely enough.

After all, the game is there.

As the studio's first 100-yuan game, it's normal to spend more time polishing.

And one more ......

Chen Ba is actually very concerned, can the game test link find out the hidden game bugs?

This is also the reason why he can't wait to hold an offline trial event and invite players to come to Jiangning to experience the demo version of "Extreme Hurricane".

He wanted to prevent it before it happened.

However, the results of the trial were not satisfactory, and more than 150 players found several game vulnerabilities and bugs in today's trial event.

Someone found the texture incorrect, and the vehicle could pass through a wall and escape into the void......

Someone discovers the online mode, when they win the first place in the competition, they will start another event at the same time, and they will directly get the first place reward in the two races.

It has also been discovered that as long as you drive a large car sideways on the track and block the oncoming cars from behind, the race will not be able to continue, and the game will freeze......

Chen Ba has recorded all these vulnerabilities or bugs, and intends to fix and deal with them.

But obviously.

These weren't the bugs he wanted to fix, nor were they serious bugs that particularly affected the nature and balance of the game.

"Haven't you caught it yet?"

"Nope!"

Zhong Shengwei took the questionnaire of these players, walked up to Chen Ba and said, "I asked, and everyone said that they didn't find any particularly strange game mechanics. ”

"There are more complaints about the driving test and the low-quality man-machine ......"

Driving test? Human-machine?

Chen Ba frowned and thought about it, could it be that the problem lies in these two places?

But it shouldn't!

The driving test is a copy of the question bank and test rules in reality, except that the third subject has become a competition, and the rest of the place is exactly the same.

As for the man-machine with huge poor quality, it may become a breakthrough, but there is a high probability that it is no problem. After all, these machines, although they seem to be smart, are actually all mentally retarded.

Their intelligence is only used in driving, and in other places, they are far less intelligent than the NPCs in "Divine Grace Continent".

"Focus on testing the man-machine."

Chen Ba advised: "Since players are very concerned about this aspect, then we will make some adjustments to the man-machine when we go back." ”

"Improving quality?"

"No, the quality needs to be reduced!"

Chen Ba said with a smile: "I think the logic of these machine driving is still a bit too dull, especially during the competition." ”

Online matches are players vs. players, let's not talk about this for now.

In the stand-alone competition, the man-machine operation is a little dull, which is not very in line with their "low quality" positioning.

Players are spraying the quality of man-machine is low, so what's polite? This has to be shown fiercely, what is the real quality difference?

"Man and machine do more bad things."

"For example, an acceleration runs in front of the player, and then quickly slows down, deliberately causing the player to rear-end ......"

Chen Ba explained: "There are also malicious cars, malicious road grabbing, random lane changes, etc., how to get angry." ”

What kind of car are you driving, young man?

Just the skills of these three-legged cats, let's go back to the driving school and practice again! If you don't have a little bit of excellent technical strength and psychological quality, don't come to Qiuming Mountain to fight with man-machine!

Zhong Shengwei: "......"

What a cheap man-machine!

He didn't dare to think about what the player would be angry if the man and machine really did what Brother Ba said.

"Having said that, the man-machine is so cheap, it should be quite cool for players to abuse it, right?" Xiao Lu asked curiously.

"Indeed!"

Zhong Shengwei nodded.

Ordinary human-machine people have no sense of accomplishment after abuse, and they don't even feel happy. But such a disgusting, such a cheap human machine, if you abuse them, it won't be too relieving.

"Man-machine is also divided into levels, okay!"

"It's okay to abuse a simple man-machine, but a little more difficult man-machine, ordinary players are estimated to be able to play for themselves."

Chen Ba quipped: "The hallmark of becoming an old driver is to start pointing at other drivers, and even scolding while driving." ”

"From this point of view, playing "Speed Hurricane" without scolding two sentences of man-machine, that character is really gentle and kind."

Normal people have to scold twice.

That's right!

The meaning of the birth of man-machine is to be scolded, which is used to bring out the "high quality" of players. Only after playing "Speed Hurricane" did you know that your quality was so high?

Players squirt at each other?

No kidding!

Can the quality of the players be as low as these people? Compared to these machines, the other players are simply so cute and kind!
