Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 393 "Extreme Speed"

After roughly drawing the structure of the entire driving simulator, Zhong Ming came to Yunuo Technology and found Lin Xiaoguang.

Although Lin Xiaoguang had talked with Zhong Ming about the driving simulator many times before, he was still a little shocked when he saw such a detailed design.

First of all, the first feeling, this driving simulator is so beautiful!

Both the base and the spherical main part give people a sense of just right, with smooth lines and perfect structure. Some exterior designs have been made on the spherical cockpit that can only accommodate one person, making this driving simulator unique. sense of technology.

Logically speaking, the exterior design should be designed by specialized personnel, but Zhong Ming did it all by himself, and this level is obviously higher than that of designers who specialize in exterior design!
Just looking at the appearance, this driving simulator won at the starting line.

Looking at the internal structure, the layout is reasonable and very ergonomic.

Including the size and structure of the seat, the structure of the steering wheel, and the position of the instrument panel... All these seemingly detailed aspects have also been taken into account.

The wrap-around screen provides a very wide field of vision. The design of this screen is much wider than the general display-type driving simulator, and it has a higher definition than the conventional VR helmet-type driving simulator.

"Mr. Zhong is amazing. The design of this plan is really high. But...Mr. Zhong is prepared for the high cost of this thing. Your plan will definitely not be cheap." Lin Xiaoguang gave Zhong Ming a preventive shot in advance.

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "This machine is sold as a luxury item, so you can stack it hard without considering the price."

Lin Xiaoguang nodded, of course he knew this too.As far as this simulator is concerned, it is not expensive to sell it for 5 yuan. It is impossible to expect small profits but quick turnover. It can only be "not open for three years, and open for three years".

Of course, it’s not that exaggerated, but most of this simulator can only take the path of luxury goods, high quality, high premium, and sold exclusively to rich people.For example, some rich second-generation people who like to buy all kinds of luxury cars to play with when they have nothing to do, after this simulator comes out, they will probably buy it to experience it.

"Mr. Zhong, why is there a visual capture system? You can't use it for regular driving, right?" Lin Xiaoguang was a little puzzled.

Vision capture system, not cheap. The addition of a visual capture system to the Alpha wristband has increased the price of the device by at least several thousand yuan, while Zhong Ming requested that a more accurate visual capture device be installed on the driving simulator, and it is a complete system. A visual capture group consisting of 8 visual capture devices.

The reason for doing so much is that the screen of the driving simulator is too large, and the front, rear, left, and right must be taken care of to ensure that the visual capture system can track the player when looking in any direction.

This visual capture system alone may increase the cost of this driving simulator by another ten thousand to twenty thousand.

In other words, the cost of this driving simulator is basically the same as the most expensive driving simulator currently on the market.

"The visual capture system, of course, has other uses. Mr. Lin, take a look at this." Zhong Ming said this, and sent a design document to Lin Xiaoguang.

""Xtreme Speed"... Mr. Zhong, the content of this game is really rich..."

After reading this design document, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Sure enough, Zhong Ming is Zhong Ming, if you don't make a move, it's nothing, but if you make a move, it's a big deal.

The name of the new game is "Extreme Speed". Judging from the name, this is a very conventional racing game, but in fact, Zhong Ming designed more content for this game than conventional racing games. too much!
Of course, for Lin Xiaoguang, he is still most concerned about what this motion vision capture system is used for. After all, it directly increases the cost by [-] to [-] yuan. If it is only used to achieve some unnecessary functions, it will be very boring.

Now Lin Xiaoguang knows that this visual capture system is designed to allow players to shoot while driving the speeding car.

That's right, "Extreme Speed" is not just a racing game, it actually contains three major gameplays: racing, modification, and shooting.

Needless to say, the racing gameplay is a common gameplay in all driving simulators.Like other speeding games, players can drive a speeding car for racing in the game and experience the thrill of racing.

Different from the racing games of Zhong Ming's previous life, the track beacons of the speeding car are all in the air, and the track often travels through many complex environments-such as passing through the gaps between skyscrapers in a bustling city, there are Sometimes you may have to dodge sudden traffic.

However, "Extreme Speed" also has a nostalgic mode. Players are no longer driving a speeding car that can go to the sky, but a regular racing car that can only be driven on the ground.The nostalgic mode is not the mainstream mode of the game, but it is also an important supplement.

The content of these racing games is basically shared by other driving simulators. Even if "Fortune Speed" can do better in terms of fidelity, graphics and environmental performance, it is not enough to form an absolute advantage.

There are two other ways to play in Forza.

Many racing games have modification functions, but they are very limited.The modifications allowed in the game are often limited to a certain vehicle model. Players can change its tires, brake pads and other accessories to improve the vehicle's handling, grip and other data, and modify the vehicle's performance to better.In addition, it is to modify the appearance of the vehicle, change the color, change the spray paint, and carry out free DIY.

But this kind of modification function, to put it bluntly, is just changing the skin, it's just a small matter.

"Xtreme Speed" allows players to start from scratch and use various parts to piece together a vehicle that belongs to them. As for the individual appearance, painting, etc. of the vehicle, it is naturally allowed to DIY at will.

This is why Zhong Ming made the main control screen of the driving simulator into a touch screen: players can directly use this touch screen to make DIY vehicles.

As for the vehicle crafting system, it might look complicated at first glance, but it's actually not that complicated.

There were many similar games in Zhong Ming's previous life, such as "Creation Chariot".The vehicle has been split into many different modules, such as chassis brackets, wheels, cockpit, engine, power system, guns, radar, etc. Players can assemble them freely, and even most of the parts can be made at will move.

The same is true for "Extreme Speed ​​Car". The vehicles in the game can be split into different modules, including power system, cockpit, chassis bracket, etc. Even the body can be split into different parts such as hood, door, roof, etc. Structure, these parts are allowed to be twisted, bent and adjusted to a certain extent, so that parts of different vehicles can be freely spliced ​​together.

At the same time, players can modify the vehicle according to their own needs. For example, adding a control module can improve the handling of the vehicle, adding a power system can increase the limit speed of the vehicle, and adding weapons to the vehicle can increase the firepower. Different weapons have different strike effects. .

Of course, all these modifications and upgrades are gradual. Players have a "mechanic level". The higher the level, the more modification operations can be performed.As the player's level increases, more weapons can be unlocked and their vehicles can be armed.

At the same time, all kinds of general-purpose parts also need to be obtained by lottery in the game. Some key parts have certain rare attributes and cannot be obtained at will.

The weapon system added to the vehicle in the modification is for the third major gameplay - the shooting system.

"Gun car ball" has always been the three mainstream game content of Western players, and there are many games with "gun" and "car" at the same time, but it is often impossible for players to play these two things at the same time.

A typical example is GTA. Players either drive or shoot guns in a car. Although in some cases, players are required to shoot while driving, most players are often in a hurry, and the fun of the game itself is difficult to guarantee.

After all, for most people, it is difficult to do two things at once, and it is too difficult to drive and look at the road while aiming and shooting.

Zhong Ming’s solution is to determine the player’s line of sight through the visual capture system, and mark a crosshair on the screen, and the shooting button is directly on the steering wheel.As long as the player focuses his sight on the direction he wants to shoot, whether it is the front, side or rear, press the fire button at this time to shoot in that direction.

Coupled with the large field of view of the driving simulator, players can get an excellent shooting experience while driving.

……

After reading the design document, Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion: "Teacher Zhong is indeed a big writer. With such a rich game content, ordinary designers don't do it just by saying it."

"Extreme Speed" has three major gameplays, and there are more game modes, including regular racing, underground racing, modified vehicle competitions, special missions, and so on.

To put it simply, in this game, players can simply go racing by car, or participate in some underground races, which are more exciting and violent, and may even be chased by the police. After receiving some special tasks, they will use flying cars to attack some specific targets.

The map of "Xtreme Speed" is a completely fictional island. There are urban areas, wastelands, and various environments on this island.The entire island is a holy place for speed racing, and drivers from all over the world come here, hoping to make a name for themselves.

The player, on the other hand, plays the role of a fledgling driver, who must continuously participate in various competitions, get rankings, modify vehicles, and complete tasks one after another.

The game itself has a very simple plot, mainly to connect various game modes in series, so that players can get a better sense of substitution.

In addition, "Extreme Speed" also allows players to create their own game modes. If some players simply like to drive speeding cars and shoot guns, they can also turn this game into a brainless game.
