Not surprisingly, the "Dark Souls" prequel set off a wave of masochism among the player community. After all, this game is very topical and the live broadcast effect is also very explosive.
From all aspects, the prequels of "Dark Souls" have continued the success of "Dark Souls". Even with such abnormal difficulty, the sales volume of the prequels is higher than that of the previous ones in the first few days!
What surprised players even more was that the sith version of "Dark Soul" sold very well, and even the sales of consoles have increased.
In the student dormitory of Shida University.
Several boys majoring in game design are watching a boy play "Dark Soul" on Sith.
Basically, players who bought sith will choose to buy "Dark Soul". After all, "Dark Soul" is the game with the best sales and highest quality since its release. The price is also very affordable, so there is no reason not to buy it.
Even many people have heard that this game is very abused, but they still choose to buy it and play it. Anyway, if they are abused, they will get a refund.
Not only because "Dark Soul" has a very high evaluation, but also because it is the first game made with the Pangu system. Even if it is transplanted from the vr platform to the sith platform, it is much better than other games in terms of expressiveness .
A few boys were watching and discussing from behind, with eager expressions on their faces.
"Don't say it, I feel that the picture is pretty good. Although it is far from VR, the picture definition is very high! And the physics engine is also good, this quality is much higher than many PC games!"
"Of course, the vr game has been changed! Even if some content is simplified, the core is still there."
"And I feel that the operation mode is also very good, the entire combat system of "Dark Soul" can be reproduced!"
"Yes, I played it in the VR game cabin at home before. The game content is not much different from that on the handheld. The biggest difference may be relatively trivial things such as immersion and operation mode."
"Wow, I feel that it is still very difficult to port this game to a handheld, and the difficulty has not been reduced at all! Why am I dead again?"
"Can you do it? Veggie, if you can't do it, change quickly!"
"Hey, don't mention it, these two joysticks are not very convenient to use, it's not as comfortable as in the VR game cabin."
"Hehe, that's because you don't know how to use it, so let me do it! I've already gotten used to this mode of operation when playing "Super Mario Odyssey". In fact, it's easier to play this game on a handheld than in VR. And it's not that tiring."
"Don't say it, I feel that the effect of this picture is very good, I am thinking about whether to buy a TV!"
"Isn't it good to play with a handheld? Besides... I bought a TV, and it's just our dormitory. Where can I put it..."
"How big is the TV screen! The resolutions on the TV and the handheld are different. Besides, the TV is actually not expensive, and you can get it for more than a thousand yuan. Then put it in the dormitory and use it to play "Darkness" Soul"... tsk tsk tsk, this painting is so beautiful!"
"What you said makes sense... But the living expenses for this semester,] have already called the police! It's almost all spent on games... Take it easy, let's take another two months..."
The few students in this dormitory have all listened to Chen Mo's lectures, and they were also the first batch to buy sith.
At that time, the four of them raised funds to buy the handheld, and now "Dark Soul" and the prequel of "Dark Soul" are released on Sith together. Although they can't play the VR version, they can still have fun on Sith.
However, some players who are new to the sith operation mode are still not used to this unique operation method.
In the final analysis, there is no such thing as a console in this world, and these players are not familiar with the operation mode of the handle.
The operation mode they are most familiar with is the operation mode of mobile phone, PC and VR, either touch screen, keyboard and mouse, or mind.
Just like many PC players will feel very uncomfortable and awkward when they first touch the handle, and it takes a while to experience the comfort of the handle operation.
On the one hand, it is the position of the buttons. Many people will feel very inconvenient when pressing the l and r buttons on the top, especially the main attack button, which many PC players are not used to.
On the other hand, it is a bit uncomfortable to control the action and perspective of characters through the joystick, especially when using the right joystick to control the perspective, many players are in a hurry when they fight.
However, players who have been familiar with this game through "Super Mario Odyssey" before do not reject this mode of operation at all, but find it very convenient.
Some people even think that playing in this way is more comfortable than playing in the VR game cabin.
On the one hand, the sense of immersion is weak, and the scary atmosphere in the game is not so scary, and there is more space for calm thinking and operation, and there is no risk of heart attack at any time.
On the other hand, the operation mode of sith is a very mature operation mode, so it can perfectly reproduce the entire combat system of "Dark Soul".
Of course, there are still differences between the two versions. For example, in the VR version, players can choose the specific part of the backstab monster. The damage and results are different depending on the part being attacked.
Certain fixed-position backstabs will cause execution effects, while some backstabs are only equivalent to a normal attack with high damage. These are all determined by the calculation results of the Pangu system's physics engine.
The Sith version is closer to the original "Dark Souls" in Chen Mo's previous life. Backstab only has two results: triggered or not triggered. As long as it is triggered, a value will be calculated according to the weapon, which is equivalent to a simplified version.
But even with the simplifications, Dark Souls on the sith platform is still a very fun game.
After playing the sith version of "Dark Soul", many people are suddenly surprised to find that this small handheld can really achieve so many complicated functions, even a perfect game like "Dark Soul" The combat system can be reproduced perfectly!
The buttons on the entire handheld handle seem to be few, but they have their own rules and are arranged in a very reasonable way.
Little did they know that this controller design was the best layout after many years of development in the console industry in Chen Mo's previous life, including the design of the left and right joysticks and several function keys, which could perfectly adapt to the operation requirements of most games.
This is a very convenient and highly concentrated mode of operation.
In Chen Mo's previous life, for some experienced console players, this handle design was already a perfect design, and even many manufacturers couldn't innovate if they wanted to, because there was no room for further improvement in this design model.
But for people in this world, this kind of handle design is still very fresh, because they have never seen it before.
The release of the Sith version of "Dark Soul" is a win-win situation. For "Dark Soul", it further expands the player base to those players who do not have a vr game cabin; 's fame boosted his sales.
Of course, no matter how you say it, it is Chen Mo himself who wins.
