i really just want to play games

Chapter 143
"Homing pigeon? China has this kind of animal domestication technology so early!" Barlow exclaimed.

Although he belongs to the kind of foreigner who knows more about China, the long history of China has not been exposed to him, and those long history books are not read even by Chinese people, let alone he is a foreigner.

"There are a lot of details, I will go down and check later."

Even though Barlow was surprised, he was a senior game review editor, so he had to make sure by himself, because one of the things advertised in "Legend Chang'an" is to restore history as much as possible.

Putting his eyes back on the game screen, Barlow saw that the protagonist Su Tong was still leading the raid, but the game was still from the pigeon's perspective.

Overlooking the entire game scene from the air, a huge and desolate land appeared in front of Barlow. The vegetation here was sparse, and there were rolling mountains in the distance, which looked very majestic.

The only thing moving in the whole picture is Su Tong's cavalry. Their dark and reddish leather armor reflected the setting sun, showing a hint of metallic golden yellow, like a group of knights in golden armor.

Desert, yellow sand, knight, sunset.

This is an exquisite picture, which makes people yearn for it, and begins to imagine how heroic it would be if they rode a horse and galloped on this land.

Not to mention, the current picture is in continuous motion, and all the scenery is vivid, as if it is right in front of you.

This is the charm of the game. Even if you sit still in a chair, you can appreciate all kinds of beauty through the perspective of the game producer.

At the same time, this is the reason why players pursue high image quality, the reason is very simple.

That is, the better the picture quality, the better the gaming experience will be.

"It's amazing. This is definitely the most beautiful picture I've ever seen in this era." Barlow was stunned, and he couldn't help sighing inwardly.

At the same time, he also immediately wrote down this impression, so as to facilitate some specific evaluation later.

The distant and heroic scene lasted for about 30 seconds, and finally the carrier pigeon landed on Su Tong's arm. Their team of knights had discovered the carrier pigeon before and had already reined in the horses and stopped.

This series of pictures were all made with motion capture technology, even through this close-up view, Barlow could already see the hair on Su Tong's temples fluttering in the wind.

The advantage brought by motion capture technology is that the game characters are performed by real people, with the most realistic movements and expressive expressions.

The main purpose of this technology is to capture the facial expressions of characters, because all older players are very aware of how awkward and even hideous the expressions of characters in 3D games are before motion capture technology.

When Su Tong saw the carrier pigeon fall, he frowned first, and then took the letter box from the carrier pigeon's feet.

He took out a small roll of paper from the mailbox, opened it, and the expression on his face became even more solemn.

Even in the era when Datang was so powerful, carrier pigeons were extremely rare. If it weren't for important circumstances, with Su Tong's status as sentry cavalry, he would not have received news delivered by carrier pigeons.

Su Tong's subordinates were all holding their breaths, because they also knew the importance of carrier pigeons. Seeing that their captain hadn't made a sound for a long time, his expression became more complicated, so a knight with his head covered and only a pair of green eyes exposed immediately asked road:
"Captain, what order do you have?"

"Geshuhan, we shouldn't be able to spend the night in the camp tonight."

"What!" Ge Shuhan was surprised, and loosened the cloth scarf covering his head and face, so his unusual appearance was revealed.

He has a high nose, deep eyes, green eyes, and a long fiery red beard. It is obvious that this Ge Shuhan is from the Western Regions.

"Listen to the order, Mr. Zhang, take Lingzi and Xiaofeng back to the camp to bring the food and grass for half a month, and the rest of you will follow me to find a place to camp and prepare for repairs, and prepare to set off at midnight!"

Su Tong quickly ordered down, and then his knights followed the order, those who went to fetch food and grass continued to attack, and the rest began to find a leeward place, preparing to camp and rest.

At the same time, as the game screen moved up, the speed of the sunset, which was originally moving down slowly, obviously began to speed up. This should be a transition scene.

Taking advantage of the transition time, Barlow began to think about the problems he saw just now.

Because although the plot is simple, Su Tong received a mysterious order, and it should be that their group of knights must complete a mission.

But what surprised Barlow was not these, but the man from the Western Regions named Goshuhan.

Through the intelligent voice assistant, Barlow quickly learned about the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions, or other foreign races' exchanges with the Central Plains Dynasty, and then he began to lament how big the Chinese people were in that era.

Because even Su Tong's team, which is obviously an elite knight, will have a foreigner, and even this foreigner's accent is no different from Su Tong's and the others, and judging by the performance of the people around him, it doesn't matter at all that a man from the Western Regions is his comrade .

The transition animation took only a short while, and when the sky was completely dark, a crescent moon slowly rose, and the vast starry sky climbed up the entire sky.

Compared with the scene of the setting sun at the beginning, this night with countless starry sky is more charming, because Barlow clearly recognized many constellations, it seems that this starry sky is made of real starry sky as the background.

"The small details are really in place, and it seems that it should be expressed in one shot." After commenting, Barlow continued to watch the following plot.

It had been 15 minutes since he opened "Legend Chang'an". Although he did not see any title main interface of the game, and there was not even a debugging screen link for other games, Barlow did not feel anything strange. Instead, he was attracted by this kind of game. I was attracted by the direct narrative mode from the beginning.

These were all deliberately done by Chen Tiancai.

The one-shot game screen appeared in the last generation. The representative work is Suo Dafa's exclusive game "New God of War". This very immersive game camera method is very popular with Chen Tiancai. At the same time, it is also the development of 3A games in the future. trend.

Because for the narrative game, the performance of the lens language is very important, and frequent black screens and readings will destroy the player's sense of substitution.

In fact, this technology was relatively difficult in the previous generation and required a lot of debugging, all because the performance of the machine was not enough.

Console games always put fluency first, sacrificing some images, but the hard drive is still a huge obstacle to the end of the shot.

Therefore, it is necessary to read the data in advance, and transition through CG animation and cutscenes in the middle, so as to reflect the feeling of one shot to the end.

But now it's different, the use of ssd hard drives makes this technology no longer complicated, and Chen Tiancai led Zange Network to quickly become familiar with this vigorous language expression.
