Players are discussing the performance of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" online, as well as plot-related content.
The gaming industry has also been paying attention.
After all, this is the first VR game in the new era, whether it is a designer or manufacturer who is qualified to produce VR games in the new era, or a designer who is just watching the fun.
Everyone wants to know what the finished product of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" will look like.
Regarding the previous promotional content of Nebula Games’ “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare”.
Many designers feel that Nebula Games should adopt a model that concentrates VR game functions on the performance of a certain level, and then allows players to read the extra content.
Either they finally made a compromise, made sacrifices on the screen, and canceled the appearance of the loading bar.
After all, the functions of the new VR are placed here, although it is certain that "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has not really fully squeezed the functions of World VR.
After all, this is the first VR game in the new era. If it can maintain the same screen performance during promotion, it will inevitably require loading and reading of resources.
Before this, many game designers discussed the choices Chen Xu made.
In the end, which effect is better brought by better pictures or by a more perfect experience
Even designers like them are divided into two groups.
But now it's like a big mouth slaps them in the face.
What are you thinking about
younger brother!
I want both the pictures and the experience!
As for the solution
Throw money!
It’s not that there’s no loading in the game, it’s just that Chen Xu can’t stand it and is willing to spend money!
The map in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is not continuous. For example, after the freighter level, there is a black barrier.
It's obviously not a seamless map.
Normally, in the middle, players need to wait for a wave of readings.
But how did Nebula Games do it
The answer is simple, that is to put cg animation.
The player jumps onto the helicopter from the end, and Price rescues the player. At the same time, he introduces the game's world view and some simple plot performances based on background narration.
It directly allows players to seamlessly connect the plot to the game experience.
It even better strengthens the players' sense of identification and intimacy with the characters in the game.
Although players only need to think carefully, they will be able to understand that when placing cg, they are loading.
But will players care
Unless the player performs a second brush or a third brush.
Otherwise, for players who are new to the game, they won’t mind at all.
Because this is also related to the game rhythm of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
In terms of the rhythm of the plot, every level in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is very intense and intense, strictly following the passionate 30 seconds setting.
As for the so-called 30 Seconds of Passion, although it sounds very informal, it is really a very serious thing.
The first one to really put it into mature use was the Halo Flood trilogy developed by Bangji.
The fierce battle will then allow players to take a breath, and through this breather, the game's plot worldview will be introduced.
Divide a large game level into small levels.
The time of each small level is about 30 seconds to 120 seconds.
For example, in the freighter mission that has just started in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Players enter the cabin and clear out the enemies in the cabin and the enemies in the dormitory. This is a crossfire point.
And when you come to the deck and move forward, there are no enemies in the middle.
This was the relief zone in the middle, and then there was another fierce firefight immediately until the helicopters cleared the enemies on the second floor.
Then Price and Gates took the player into the cabin. This was another soothing area without fighting until they encountered the enemy in the first passage and exchanged fire.
This kind of relaxed game rhythm makes players feel that they can't stop at all.
At the same time, the battle and the plot are combined. Finally, when a big level is over, the players also need a period of relaxation.
Just like the so-called cigarette afterward, after you have done something that makes you mentally exhausted, you need to choose a method to relax your mind and body.
At this time, the loading bar is turned into an introduction to the game plot, which can be said to maintain a very perfect rhythm for the entire game.
After research, many designers have to admit that this is a perfect solution.
It's just that perfection is perfection, and many designers also know that this is what "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" or games of this type can use.
Because first of all, this requires the game itself to have an excellent script and reasonable level planning, otherwise it will just be imitating others.
Secondly, only threaded games can be used, because what players need is to follow a line.
Perfect rhythm control and narrative, as well as the empathy between players and NPCs in the game, as well as a smooth shooting experience and high image quality.
Let "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" take cinematic gaming to the extreme.
… … …
Within Nebula Games, the follow-up content of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is still being developed. To be precise, it should be the development of multiplayer content.
"Mr. Chen, now even foreign players know about the warrior you love!" In the office, Ruan Ningxue smiled while looking at some news posted online.
"Haha, I've watched it too, and on some foreign petition websites, many players have petitioned for Price not to die. The total number of players has exceeded 150,000." Yang Xin smiled mischievously, Because she knew exactly what was going to happen.
"When the second part is released, these players won't riot, right?" Qin Yi was a little worried.
Because compared to the second and third parts, this first part is actually quite mild.
If the first part stabbed you in the face.
Then this second part is the kind that stabs you in the face and sprinkles some salt on the wound.
"You guys are just worried that the world will not be in chaos. Players can discuss it like this. Doesn't this mean that our game plot is good and the interpretation is very immersive for players?" Chen Xu coughed twice.
"It's just like an actor playing a bad guy. He performs that kind of badness with such verve that the audience will gnash their teeth with hatred when they encounter it in real life. And now this shows that the players are also well immersed in the game."
"Don't forget that the players are scolding us fiercely, but in fact it is a kind of encouragement. This is a kind of love that the players have for us, just like the love we pour into the players in the game." Chen Xu looked at everyone and said.
Then he opened his official blog and quickly found the relevant information.
Good guy, the number of petitioners has now exceeded 300,000.
However, looking at the posture, it seemed that many domestic players also ran over to join in the fun.
"Mr. Chen, do you want to respond?" Ruan Ningxue also said with a smile.
"Forget it." Chen Xu shook his head.
But Chen Xu has no intention of responding to the players' petition.
If it was about when the game would be released, Chen Xu would respond.
But forget about the plot, after all, the response will involve spoilers later.
As a conscientious game designer, Chen Xu hopes that players can personally feel what the ending of each character in the 141st Special Forces Team will be like.
Rather than being spoiled in advance and being mentally prepared, if players knew that Price would not die in the end.
Then when Xiaoqiang and Soap went to the Gulag concentration camp and found prisoner No. 627, would there still be that sense of surprise
This is his outstanding quality as a designer who thinks about players all the time.
Although it may be burdened with some misunderstandings, for the players, what does this mean
At this moment, Chen Xu felt as if his whole body was filled with light.
As for Ruan Ningxue and others next to them, they curled their lips.
A few years ago, they believed Chen Xu's statements very much.
but now? Fool, you continue to lie.
It's a great honor to be able to curl one's lips.
… … … …
In ten days, although the plot of the game made many players feel uncomfortable and wanted to cry.
Moreover, more and more entries for "Kill Chen Xu", "Soldier of Love" and "Chen Xu Old Thief" are becoming more and more popular.
But the enthusiasm of the players has not declined at all, but has become even higher.
Even Yang Chen from the game department called Chen Xu to express his surprise.
Because "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has greatly boosted Universal's sales, there are even out-of-stock situations in some areas.
Mainly because the first part made countless players feel the awesomeness of this game.
In addition, FPS is the largest game category regardless of whether it is overseas or domestic.
Although some later players learned that the endings of some characters were equivalent to spoilers.
But the game has a refreshing design experience and excellent levels.
But it also makes players full of desire to play.
Not to mention the players who have played it.
The fate of Captain Price hangs in their hearts all the time.
Under such circumstances, the time comes on June 10th, the second part of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" will be released.
Countless players who have already pre-ordered and pre-loaded the game have entered the game immediately.
