Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 371 Somatosensory Suit (Add More)

Griffin Studio's "Light of the Gods" incident caused an uproar among players all over the world, and also sparked a discussion about games and game platforms.

Many people don't understand why players are so dissatisfied with this press conference, which even caused the stock price of Griffin Entertainment to plummet?

It stands to reason that there are so many manufacturers of bracelet games now, and many old console manufacturers like Griffin Studio are also trying to make bracelet games to test the waters. Griffin Studio is not the only one, how could it be scolded? so miserable?
In the real question and answer, someone quickly revealed the truth. The order of the press conference was completely wrong, and Griffon Studio didn't understand at all what kind of group of players they were targeting.

In fact, the game manufacturers in Zhong Ming’s previous life also had many similar operations, not even switching from console games to mobile games, but just switching from their own consoles to other people’s consoles, which may cause serious dissatisfaction and sudden death in sales .

What's more, switching from console games to mobile games, the two are completely different platforms.

On the surface, it seems that there are only different platforms, but in fact, different hardware and different games naturally gather different player groups. These player groups have very clear tastes. Introducing mobile games to console gamers is almost like It's like forcing spicy food to someone who likes sweet food, which is completely unreasonable.

If you want to launch a mobile game, there is no problem at all, at least it should be separated from your own mainstream game, instead of using your own credit to forcefully endorse it.

Just like Zhong Ming wanted to make mobile games, he also set up another Tianji Studio, which completely disassociated himself from Weiguang Studio. , I am afraid that it will also cause a strong rebound from low-light game players.

What's more, Griffin Studio still made this mobile game the highlight and finale introduction of the press conference, and made so many preparations in advance, so that the players on the scene had extremely high expectations, and finally released a This is a mobile game that must be castrated in terms of performance and gameplay, no wonder it is regarded as an April Fool's joke by players.

After this incident, the Griffin Studio was also a bit battered by himself, but this only became a joke after dinner, and most people laughed it off.

But in any case, this incident also confirmed the fact that the appearance of the Alpha6 bracelet is further stimulating the original bracelet market.The share of wristbands is much higher than that of consoles and PCs. Now there is a new technological innovation, which will inevitably lead to drastic changes in the mobile game industry.

Even a veteran game studio like Griffon Studios is optimistic about the prospects of the Alpha6 bracelet, and even took out its own big IP in hopes of getting a share, which shows how far-reaching the impact of this bracelet is.

……

Yunuo Technology.

The research and development of "Interstellar Tinder 2" is still in progress, but the initial version of the motion suit has been produced.

The production of motion-sensing suits is actually not too complicated, because Yuno Technology has already produced anchor-specific motion capture suits before. This time, the motion-sensing suits are roughly similar to the previous motion capture suits, except that more tactile points have been added to them. And the overall constant temperature control system.

"Mr. Zhong, this is the first version of the motion suit. It should be possible to optimize the weight and shape in the future, but the general functions are already available." Lin Xiaoguang said.

There was a box in front of Zhong Ming, which contained a whole set of body-sensing suits.

This new suit is black all over and made of a special elastic material.The thickness of this suit is similar to ordinary rubber suits, but it is more elastic, and it is not as tight as the rubber suits worn by ordinary women. There are decorations on the outside of the rubber suits, which are similar to protective clothing, and men don't wear them. would be mistaken for a pervert.

Body suits can be produced in different colors and sizes to suit players with different body shapes and preferences.

Because the overall is relatively loose, you can also wear body-sensing clothes to cover the outside.Zhong Ming put on the body-sensing suit, and after a bit of movement, it felt okay, and he didn't feel that his whole body was stiff.

The motion capture points of the body-sensing suit are outside the body-sensing suit, which are the original motion capture parts, mainly focusing on the key positions of the movement.The principle is similar to the previous motion capture suits exclusively for anchors, which read the player's movements and generate avatars in the video signal to perform the same movements.

However, considering the relatively high cost of the original motion capture, this time we launched a non-motion capture version of the body sensory suit, and there are also body sensory suits that have castrated the original motion capture.

After castrating the original motion capture, the movements made may not be so natural, but at least it can be guaranteed that the movements will not be too outrageous in general.

After that is the most important function of this body sensory suit: body sensory and constant temperature control system.

The realization of somatosensory is through the densely distributed tactile points in the whole clothing. These tactile points are distributed in all parts of the whole somatosensory suit like a large net.When the game calculates that a certain part of the player is hit, the system will send an electrical stimulation signal to the corresponding one or a certain piece of tactile point, and these tactile points will trigger the electrical stimulation according to the strength of the signal.

Although it is electrical stimulation, it is completely different from that of electrotherapy.This electrical stimulation can simulate a variety of different tactile sensations, from the touch of a feather to the sensation of a hard punch.

The highest stimulation intensity is strictly limited and will not have adverse effects on the human body. Players can also adjust the electrical stimulation intensity independently according to their needs.When connecting to the GS1 simulator through the motion suit for the first time, the system will conduct a simple test to allow the player to choose a more suitable stimulation level.

However, for safety reasons, this set of motion suits is still not allowed to be sold to minors.

The constant temperature control system distributes the heat source points inside the somatosensory clothing.When the temperature environment in the game changes, for example, the player is in a very hot environment at this time, and the power of the protective clothing is about to run out, then the temperature of these heat source points will start to rise slowly.

The heat from these heat source points will be conducted to the whole body of the body suit in a short time, creating a hot feeling for the player, and it will remain until the environment in which the player is in the game changes.

In the same way, if the player is in a severe cold environment, the physical suit will also become chilly and remain in this state.

Of course, whether it's hot or cold, players just feel a little bit on the body surface, so they won't be overheated or catch a cold.Because the role of somatosensory is only to hint the player's current environment through some slight sensations, so as to enhance the sense of substitution in the game.If the temperature difference is really changed so much, it will affect the player's normal gaming experience.

Strictly speaking, the heat conduction performance of the material of this suit is not particularly good, so special ingredients are added to the material of the suit, so that although the heat conduction effect of this body sensory suit is not as good as metal and silicone grease, it is also not bad.

The energy of the motion suit comes from the battery on the back. This battery is not heavy and can be adapted quickly.After fully charged, this battery can be used for about 30 hours.Even if it is kept cold or hot all the time, and the electrical stimulation is frequently triggered, this battery can last about 20 hours without limiting the player's game time.

The motion suit also comes with a pair of glasses, which are similar to AR glasses, but compared with AR glasses, more than 90% of the functions have been castrated.It has only one function, which is to display the UI in the game on it, as well as some simple 3D visual display.

For example, the ambient temperature, energy status, remaining bullets, etc. UI will be displayed directly on the glasses instead of directly on the game screen.

Of course, if the player does not buy glasses, then these UIs can only be displayed on the screen.

The glasses are actually just a very cheap transparent screen, and the cost is only 300 yuan. The pure somatosensory version of the somatosensory suit costs 3999, including the money for the glasses.

Zhong Ming was wearing a full set of sensory suits and glasses. Looking at the UI displayed on the lenses, he really felt like he was wearing a high-tech protective suit.

Although every move is slightly restricted (after all, it is impossible to wear a rubber suit as convenient as wearing short-sleeved shorts), but it simulates a sense of reality. Coupled with the somatosensory and constant temperature control system, the player's sense of substitution in the game should be can be greatly enhanced.

"How about the speed of heating and cooling? Let me experience it. The settings in the game need to be slightly modified." Zhong Ming said to Lin Xiaoguang.

The heating and cooling of the body-sensing clothing is not instantaneous.The so-called constant temperature control system is actually heating rubber, which is not much different from the principle of electric blankets.But how long it takes to complete this kind of heating and cooling will still affect the player's game experience.

Zhong Ming felt it for himself. The heating and cooling effect of the body suit needs to be felt clearly within 1 minute, and the standard temperature can only be reached after 2 minutes.After all, it takes time for rubber to conduct heat.

This may be a small flaw in the player's game experience, but it is easy to solve-just change the mechanism of the game a little.

The mechanism in the game is changed to: When the energy of the character's protective clothing is exhausted, the constant temperature effect of the protective clothing will fail within about 1 minute, and there will be an obvious feeling. After 2 minutes, it will completely fail, and the character will be completely exposed to the dangerous environment , and begin to lose blood rapidly from extreme heat or frostbite.

Similarly, when the player recharges the energy, the protective suit will start to work again, but it will also take about the same time to return to the normal body temperature.

Anyway, if you can't change the hardware, just change the software so that the two can be consistent.

"There is no problem with the bracket. The all-view display can be directly installed in the GS1 simulator. As for what kind of signal to input to it, that is the game's business." Lin Xiaoguang showed Zhong Ming the GS1 simulation with the bracket installed. device.

The GS1 simulator has a huge 360-degree surround screen. The player is located on a universal treadmill, but there is still a certain gap between the universal treadmill and the surround screen, and a full-view display can be plugged in.

This bracket is fixed with the universal treadmill, and players can independently adjust the height and position of the all-view display.Some people are more accustomed to the small map on the left side, while others are used to the right side. They can be adjusted freely, as long as the relative position of the all-view display bracket and the front of the universal treadmill is locked.

When the player turns around, because the bracket is fixed with the front direction of the universal treadmill, it will also rotate with the player, so that the all-view display is always kept at the relative position adjusted by the player.

During the game, the all-view display mainly uses holographic projection to display some supplementary key information, such as a small map in the game, prompting the player's protective clothing/mecha damage status, radar maps of surrounding enemy positions, etc. , as a very critical sub-display to provide players with some important information.

Because the full-view display is a holographic projection mode, this three-dimensional display method also allows players to see the surrounding situation at a glance.

In this way, the strongest family barrel of Yunuo Technology is completed.

If players want to get the best gaming experience in "Interstellar Tinder", they need three devices: GS1 emulator, motion suit and full-view display, and the price goes straight to 2 yuan.

Of course, if you don’t have any peripherals, and you just want to play with the controller on the GS1 console, it’s no problem at all, but the game experience is far worse than the previous one.
