Chapter 749 is not just the icing on the cake
In the "Witcher 3", almost most of the NPs have Gent card interaction options. Gent card game is simply poisonous. Except for the NPs of all sizes in the game, they have a deck of cards in their pockets. In addition to the game, players' pursuit of Gent card is also crazy. Gent card has various physical cards, and some players even specially set up Gent card battle websites. If you don't play cards for a day, you will feel uncomfortable!
The pattern of the Gent card is based on the world view of "The Witcher 3". It can be roughly divided into four cards: weather, unit, hero, and leader. Each card has its own stunts.
The gameplay is three-game two-win system. Each card has its own attack power, and some special cards also have their own skills. In each game, both sides take turns playing cards until one party has no cards to play or gives up playing cards, calculate the attack power of both sides, and those with high attack power will win. The cards are also divided into camps, and these camps all appear in the game. The rules are simple but very interesting. Collecting Gent cards and studying decks have also become two major hobbies in many players' games.
The design of the Wizard 3 embedding a mature card game into the game is great. If Blizzard can also embed Hearthstone into O, it would definitely be even more impressive.
For example, if "Heartstone" is added to o, there will be a chance to have such a funny conversation.
Player: Lieutenant Thorne, I'm here to assign a mission.
Thorne: Gilness will not perish! Well, Commander, I'm afraid you can't assign tasks today!
Player: Why? By the way, where is Erona? I was about to go to Tanaan with her to do daily routines. She used to wait for me here.
Thorne: Oh, she should be on the mine now.
Player: Why did she go there?
Thorne: She and Lantsore are playing Hearthstone. She just bought 50 sets of card bags from Benjamin yesterday and wanted to fight!
Player:...Okay. Then why didn't you go?
Thorne: Their level is too poor, they are not interested, and they speak of the commander. Are you going to say the Quint card?
Player: Are you sure there is no copyright issue?
Thorne: It makes sense, then let’s hit Hearthstone. Your president whispered: Let’s go. Today, hellfire will be sent to your president: Don’t bother me when you go away, I want to play Hearthstone!
You have blocked your president.
In fact, this set of mature card games is embedded directly into the game and exists as a mini-game. It is not first made by Wizard 3. In Jester's memory, there is such a bad setting in 8. Of course, the most famous one is definitely Wizard 3.
Of course, it is not just about "Royal 0" and "The Witcher 3" that took great pains to mini games. For other games, such as "GTA5", which sold the world, the free editing map mode he added can also change the game to various racing games, or even PS games, and you can also see an enhancement of mini games in the game.
Of course, the mini-game settings in gta5 are not just this kind of free editor. Strictly speaking, the game method derived from this free editing is contributed by players, not by game dealers. However, in gta5, there are also some things similar to mini-games designed by game designers, that are stocks.
Stock trading... It's really too simple. This may be the feeling of people who have played the stock trading game in gta5.
In gta5, it is also very fun to play stock trading.
There are various real estate in the game. The ultimate goal of many players is to buy all the buildings and buy the second ring road in all tm! Of course, it is not enough to rely on the little money that can rob and make small fuss every day. If you want to make money, you still have to trade stocks... Of course, it is in the game.
The trick to stock trading in gta5 is to get the exact timing. Although it is similar to the actual stock trading overall. However, in the plot of the game, Lester, the think tank member behind the protagonists, will obtain some insider information through hacking methods. For example, some assassination tasks may affect the stock trend after killing the target. If you buy one by one according to Lester's prompts, the profit rate is still quite considerable.
Of course, in addition to stock trading, gta5 also has many mini games, from shooting targets, throwing darts, golf, tennis, bicycle racing, parachuting, to flying planes, driving submarines, and even smoking big-maru, stock trading, almost all the mini games that you can think of in a normal mind. Even if you don’t do any tasks when you enter the game, you can play these mini games for a day.
There are also various classic mini-games in other games, such as Texas Hold'em in Red Dead, arcade poker in Far Cry, Nine-Siches in Assassin's Creed, Cards and Gambling Machines in the Fallout series, etc. There is also a very famous game. Its mini-game settings should have the inspiration to set a precedent for a generation.
This game is called "Taige Lizhi 5". There may not be many new players in the future who have played or heard of this game. However, this game can be said to be the pinnacle of similar games, and almost no one can surpass it. The twenty or thirty mini games added here are all classics. Later games are either tribute or plagiarism, and there are many people.
For example, in "The Legend of the Knights", I paid tribute to "The Legend of Taige 5" in the mini-game. Of course, the fun dropped significantly after reducing the difficulty of the mini-game.
These things are a bit far away. Jester talked to Carmack about the future development direction of game consoles. Carmack knew that there was a hardware development department with a very high level of confidentiality in the company. This development department existed when he joined the company. He thought it was set up for the next generation of hosts, but later the development team of Dream Wave 3 was established, which made this statement unfair and self-destructive.
In short, this development group is extremely mysterious. The people involved in the development have signed very strict confidentiality clauses and are treated very high.
Later, as his position in the company improved, Carmak also vaguely knew that this mysterious hardware development department was working on the development of somatosensory game equipment.
Carmack is still very curious about this department.
He heard Jester ask him casually what he thinks about the future development direction of game consoles. Carmack happened to be interested in the new technology of somatosensory. In addition, he knew that there was a development department within the company that had been developing somatosensory hardware for several years. So he also smiled and said without hesitation: "I think that the future home game consoles will gradually develop into a living room entertainment terminal. He may not only use it to play games with a controller, but also to connect some somatosensory devices..."
Jester nodded while listening, and Carmack was thinking quite far-reachingly.
To be honest, Sony wanted to make P3 such a thing in the ps3 era. Unfortunately, due to all reasons, they failed. Even the absolute merits of the ps game console, Ken Kutaraki resigned. After ps4, Sony proposed the slogan just for games, and it turned out to be very popular because in the eyes of players, game consoles are used to play games.
What kind of family entertainment terminal? We don’t need this thing at all.
However, Microsoft does not believe in evil. Their waves are actually following the old path of Sony's ps3 back then, trying to make a home entertainment terminal. Jester dared not assert that the final result of Microsoft's plan, but judging from the release of the new generation of consoles, the sales figure of ps4 for waves is enough to show the players' recognition of their two concepts.
Of course, Apple seemed to want to go to this family entertainment terminal and try to get involved in the living room game business.
In Jester's opinion, this is simply life-and-death.
Carmack talked about his affirmation of somatosensory gaming equipment in the future, and believed that in the future, home gaming consoles of somatosensory equipment will definitely become mainstream, and the controller operation will definitely be replaced by somatosensory operating equipment. Jester did not comment on whether the other party said the right or wrong. It is also unnecessary. After all, somatosensory can only exist in the laboratory now.
No one can tell what his potential will be in the future.
However, Jester, who has experienced the most popular era of somatosensory gaming equipment, knows that somatosensory equipment does have a future, but the future of somatosensory equipment is far from as promising as many people think now.
In fact, for many people and players, the somatosensory equipment is just a new song. I have never played it and I really want to try it. If you have played it, you will soon lose interest in this type of game. Just like the fate of ii, it was launched at the beginning with somatosensory equipment, which almost swept across the army. B360 and ps3 are not rivals at all.
It seems that the entire game industry has seen Nintendo's revival again.
However, in the battle for hosts in that era, ii performed extremely weakly in the middle and late stages. Of course, they had established an advantage that was almost impossible to defeat in the early stage. Although in the final console sales, ii's sales volume was higher than 360 and ps3 sales, it was not said that this era belonged to ii.
Since the somatosensory game console has experienced the popularity of the ii, it has quickly become silent. Even though Microsoft's sensible and beautiful head is done well enough, it is still a mess.
Even if Sony's somatosensory equipment is made like Yituoxiang.
It did not delay the crazy sales of P4, and the sales volume of Microsoft's mother didn't recognize it.
Carmack talked for a long time about the future prospects of the somatosensory equipment, but it seemed that he felt that he had been listening carefully to Jester's eyes, and seemed to not agree with what he said, which made Carmack a little angry.
So, he stopped talking immediately.
Jester soon discovered Carmack's abnormality, and then he smiled and asked, "Do you think I don't agree with your thoughts?"
Carmak nodded.
Then Jester pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, you also know that there is a somatosensory equipment development department inside the company. The density of this department is relatively high. However, according to your level in the company, you can also get some information about this development department. Although it is only on the outside, you also know what this department does."
"You seem to think that since I attach so much importance to somatosensory equipment, and even spend a lot of money to carry out secret research and development for so many years of years of development, I must be very optimistic about the prospects of this equipment. It's right for you to think so, but my optimism is still very different from yours, or some other people's optimism."
Jester said in a plain tone.
"In my opinion, if the body sense can be miniaturized, that is, it can be made into a small box, that is, our home game consoles, it is indeed very marketable at the beginning, and even can obtain certain very ideal sales figures. However, in my personal speculation, this craze will last very short, and it may not even be able to continue in a console era."
While saying that, Jester shook his head: "The reason why I attach so much importance to somatosensory equipment now is not that I think this thing will have great potential in the future. I just don't want our competitors to go ahead of us in this regard. Although I am not optimistic about the long-term potential of somatosensory equipment, I still have a cautious attitude towards their explosive power in a short period of time."
After hearing Jester say this, Carmack also understood Jester's attitude towards somatosensory equipment.
He also nodded: "What do you mean is, do you think the future replacement of home game console hardware will definitely not be somatosensory?"
Faced with Carmack's problem, Jester pondered again, saying: "To be precise, it will also have something to do with somatosensory, but somatosensory does not account for the main reason. In my opinion, the next half of the generation may have a place for somatosensory, but the real next-generation host must be closely related to VR devices."
When Carmack heard Jester talk about VR devices, he also had a shiny look.
vr, as the name suggests, virtual-reality, translation is virtual reality, which is a comprehensive integrated technology involving computer graphics, human-computer interaction technology, sensing technology, artificial intelligence and other fields. It uses computers to generate realistic three-dimensional vision, hearing, smell and other feelings, allowing people as participants to naturally experience and interact with the virtual world through appropriate devices.
Of course, this is just a description of VR technology. I don’t know whether it can be done in the future, but the current technology is definitely not possible. (To be continued)
