i really just want to play games

Chapter 385 First Meeting
Anthem Network has conducted many internal tests so far, but as the big boss, Chen Tiancai, as the first tester of the new project, is definitely the first time.

The tense atmosphere spread among the watching employees, but they also looked forward to the performance of the Shimmer host.

After pressing the power button on the 'Ruyi Stick', the low-light main unit above Chen Tiancai's head instantly shot down a light curtain.

Although the display effect of the low-light console can completely envelop the player, Chen Tiancai did not design a fully enveloping scene in the options after booting.

There are similar designs for VR, most of which are to build a virtual room to remind players that you have entered the field of VR.

For this design, Chen Tiancai personally thinks it's useless.

Because after the startup screen, the interface at the front of the player is the most important point of concern. Setting up some useless scenes around it will only distract the player's attention and sight.

In addition, this also involves a visual experience. Suddenly entering a virtual world directly from the real world will inevitably bring about a great sense of contrast and make people feel stiff.

The interface of the low-light host has basically been finalized.

The main color of the interface can be selected, but the default is black which is the most difficult to achieve.

But now in front of Chen Tiancai is a black light curtain, the black is very pure, without any modification, although the employees present have seen this kind of display effect on the low-light development machine, but it appears on a game console at this time, It still shocks them.

There is nothing cluttered on the interface, except for a circular icon in the middle that is almost half the size of a person's body.

In the middle of the icon is a static picture. A silver spaceship full of futuristic design and slender lines is the tentative cover picture of "Hymn Infinity".

Under the attention of the employees, Chen Tiancai lightly touched the icon of "Hymn Infinity".

Suddenly, the low-light main unit above Chen Tiancai's head emitted a bright light, although it was very bright, it was not dazzling.

As for the black light curtain in front of him, it looked like a stone had been thrown into the water.First, ripples floated outward, and then the icon of "Anthem Infinity" filled the black interface with the ripples, and finally turned into a slowly rotating portal.

White and black, as well as the silver of the icon, are mixed together, slowly rotating, just like when Chen Tiancai first tested the low-light prototype.

This continuation can be regarded as the spiritual inheritance of the technology of Shimmer, and it is also the embodiment of Chen Tiancai’s personal thoughts.

This set of things was originally thought up by Chen Tiancai himself. After being verified by many people, it is indeed a machine with a display effect like a low-light host.

The transition from the plane through a personalized portal can bring a sense of ritual to players when using it, creating the feeling of crossing into a world.

Chen Tiancai took a step towards the portal, and then the low-light host above his head captured this movement. Under the slight flicker of the portal, the world of "Hymn Infinity" officially opened to Chen Tiancai.

The first thing that changed was that the light curtain of Shimmer directly covered an area of ​​about one square meter around Chen Tiancai. This is the standard for the future Shimmer console. Under normal circumstances, the in-game screen will be displayed on the basis of one square meter.

From the outside, Chen Tiancai had disappeared at this time, only a layer of light blue fluorescent light enveloped everything like a box.

This is designed for privacy, and the game space is a very private place for players.

This makes VR much better, because the usage scenario of VR is reality and there is no obstruction. Therefore, if a second person comes to the scene where the player is playing, some of the player's actions will appear particularly funny or even obscene.

Many funny videos are made with this point, but Chen Tiancai believes that although it is funny to watch others play, no player likes to be seen by others while playing.

Especially when it comes to special types of games, Chen Tiancai believes this even more.

However, the process he is going to demonstrate now is for the employees present to see, so the situation inside is imported to several 98-inch large TVs around Suo Dafa through the equipment for viewing.

This is the pre-test version, so Chen Tiancai didn't see any cutscenes, and directly entered the official game process.

The matter of the cutscenes is also a point of discussion on Anthem Network now.

Regardless of whether the game perspective in the past was first-person or third-person, it is actually third-person in the eyes of players. This kind of God's perspective is suitable for using cutscenes to explain some game backgrounds and so on.

But low-light games are full-immersion real first-person perspective, so cutscenes lose the need for existence, because as soon as you enter the game, you will first put a lot of information in front of the player, which is obviously not conducive to players accepting this kind of real first-person view. A perspective experience.

However, the cutscenes do not mean that they should be completely abandoned. They will also be used in suitable bridges.

This is the pain point caused by innovating something. You need to make necessary changes to things you are accustomed to.

……

"Hey, novice, how does it feel to be on the spaceship for the first time?" A rough voice sounded.

After entering the game, the first thing Chen Tiancai saw was a burly man with thick limbs, wearing the simplest vest and trousers, and several exaggerated scars on his face extending from his eyes to his cheeks. It looked very frightening.

This is a standard closed room, surrounded by rusty metal walls, and the NPC is sitting on a chair full of time.

As for Chen Tiancai, he is still standing.

"Hello, Gregis, I'm very excited now." Chen Tiancai took a look at the clothes he had changed into that of a burly man, and then read out the words displayed on the prompt board in front of him.

"Haha! Then I advise you to maintain your excitement for a while longer, otherwise you will die when you will launch the collection spacecraft to cross the asteroid belt, and I will have to find another unlucky person!" Gregis laughed loudly. The look on his face was contemptuous.

"Then I might disappoint you." Chen Tiancai continued to follow the prompt board.

"Hmph, then come with me, let me see what you are capable of!" Gregis got up, bypassed Chen Tiancai's body, opened the door directly, and walked out first, then shouted in his characteristic rough voice :
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and follow!"

"Ok."

Chen Tiancai turned around, but did not act immediately because his mission was a test, not a game.

"Ah! Boss is so cunning!" Some employees in the lounge started to exclaim when they saw that Chen Tiancai didn't follow immediately.
