Chapter 758： Unexpected opening (one more)

This perspective makes Zhao Lei feel very surprised.

It stands to reason that Chen Mo has produced a lot of vr games with first-person perspectives, including the "Mysterious Seas" of the previous fire.

The effect of the first-person perspective on enhancing the player's sense of engagement is the choice of most mainstream vr games.

However, "Apocalyptic Day" has chosen a traditional over-the-shoulder perspective. Is there any deep meaning in it?

At this time, Zhao Lei feels like a ghost that does not exist. Floating behind the little girl, she can control the little girl's every move, but after all, she can only be regarded as a bystander.

It seems that there is a director who is in control of his own vision (camera lens) and appreciates this story from multiple angles.

However, after knowing that he is now controlling the little girl, Zhao Lei has a new guess, that is, there is a possibility that there will be multiple role conversions in this game.

Games that use the first-person perspective are all fixed protagonists, such as "Escape" and "Jesus Survival". Players will never experience other characters from start to finish.

However, if a game needs to "soul through" between multiple characters, then the first person perspective will have some problems.

It’s a little girl for a while, an adult male for a while, a pretty girl for a while... It’s easy for a player to be confused about his current identity from the first person perspective.

Therefore, there should be two considerations for adopting this over-the-shoulder perspective. On the one hand, it allows the player to experience the story from a purely bystander perspective, and on the other hand, it reduces the confusion that the character conversion has on the player.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei thinks that the choice of over-the-shoulder perspective of "America's Doomsday" should be the practice of Chen Mo's thoughtful consideration. However, he still wants to say that this technique is really retro.

After all, in the current vr game, designers are generally digging deep into the game's "substitute sense", and even the entire game's script, gameplay, and narrative means are serving the "first person perspective" and "substitute sense", like Chen Mo’s practice of sacrificing vr game features for stories is very rare.

As the little girl stood up from the bed, Zhao Lei also officially obtained the control of the little girl.

There are relatively simple tips in the field of vision, suggesting that Zhao Lei can control the little girl to walk, open the door and so on.

In the process of walking, the little girl occasionally talks to herself, or blinks, chills, yawns and the like.

Really played Zhao Lei and found that in fact, this over-the-shoulder perspective is still quite good in the vr game, not as stiff as imagined. More importantly, I can see the movements of the little girl all the time. Although it is less sense of substitution, it makes the story and story more smooth.

On the table, Zhao Lei found the birthday card of the little girl to his father.

"Dad: You are often not at home, hate my favorite music, and look down on my favorite movies, but the strange thing is that you can still be the best father every year, how do you do it? Happy birthday, yeah!"

The payment is: Sarah who loves you.

Seeing this, Zhao Lei could not help but smile.

He is also a father now, and he can't help but feel a warm heart in this bridge.

The little girl's room is full of details, including jerseys, sneakers, computers, music and posters, etc. It looks like a very ordinary American civilian family. However, this decoration makes Zhao Lei feel some sense of the times, it feels like it was a few years ago, after all, the technology products here are all quite outdated.

Chen Mo did not say the specific age of the story, but it is obviously hinted at in the game.

There is the latest news in the newspapers in the room: the number of hospital admissions has soared, the bizarre infection has increased by 300%, the Food and Health Department has found more contaminated crops, the women have maddened killers and the other three, and so on.

Joel is not in the bedroom, and news about infected patients is still on the TV.

On the TV, the reporter is reporting that the gas explosion suddenly occurred and the TV signal was suddenly broken. At the same time, there was an explosion at the same time outside the window, and a flaming light illuminated in the dark night sky.

The rustling of the TV, the alarm sound of the vehicles outside the room, suddenly made the atmosphere of the whole game strange.

"So, now is the eve of the virus outbreak?"

Zhao Lei, while controlling the little girl to look for various elements in the room, speculates on the current story. Obviously, "Apocalyptic Day" tells the story of the zombie virus outbreak, and now it is obviously during the outbreak.

Coming downstairs, a row of police cars whizzed past.

The dog is arrogant.

The timepiece shows that the time at this time is 2:15.

Just then, the phone on the table rang, was called Uncle Tommy, and was looking for Joel. Zhao Lei continued to manipulate the little girl to look for clues in the room. Suddenly, the dog outside the door suddenly made a cry, and then there was no sound.

Going forward, Joel ran back and panted and chatted with the little girl, rummaging through the cupboard and firing bullets on the pistol.

An infected, irrational man slammed through the glass door. He was covered in blood and seemed to have been deeply infected and completely irrational. Joel stopped in front of the little girl and, after warning, directly shot the neighbor who had come in without hesitation.

After the story is logical, Uncle Tommy drove to pick up the father and the daughter, and then three people drove together to escape.

The little girl sat in the back seat and watched everything outside through the window glass in horror.

On the way to drive, Tommy and Joel were discussing the outbreak. On the road, a family wanted to take a ride. Tommy wanted to stop, but was stopped by Joel.

Traffic jams, zombies everywhere, car accidents, being attacked, picking up little girls and continuing to run...

The next story is the standard zombie escape story, but the atmosphere of the story creates a great, flustered pedestrians, screams, vehicles crashing into the gas station, fathers who constantly comfort the daughter, zombies that suddenly ran out... The details of this are extremely rich, and the scenes and pictures are exactly the same level as the "Uncharted Waters", so it gives a very strong sense of reality.

Finally came to the highway, the soldiers in front of a burst of fire, solved the zombies caught up.

The soldier is asking the superior: "Sir, there is a little girl here... but... yes, sir."

Joel seemed to understand what he was trying to convince the soldier: "Listen, man, we just escaped from the dead..."

However, the soldiers raised their guns.

He shot!

Joel turned his back to the muzzle subconsciously, hoping to block the bullets for his daughter and tumbling forward.

But the soldier who was holding the gun came to Joel and the gun was aimed at his head.

Just when Joel thought he was dead, a shot was fired, and Tommy arrived in time to explode the soldiers.

But when Zhao Lei thought that the father and daughter had finally escaped from birth, they found her daughter sobbing and her belly was shot.

The blood is spreading instantly, and the voice of the little girl is gradually getting lower...

Joel comforted her daughter in vain, glaring at her wounds, but still could only watch the little girl die in constant sobs.

The guitar sound of grief and sorrow sounded, and in the silent insects in the middle of the night, Joel’s dead daughter was crying.

At this point, the lens is pulled up and the starry sky is darkened. In the night sky, the name of the game appears: "The End of America" ​​thelastofus.
