Chapter 921： Real and vivid free world

The popularity of "Watch Dogs" has caused all game manufacturers and the media, even the players, to have some surprises.

The major game communities also have video websites, and the content of "Watch Dog" has been shown in the slaughtered version.

At the time of sale, although many people are optimistic, but more just think that this is a game with a hacker skin.

The set itself is based on the template of the most famous urban theme open world game "GTA" under Nebulas.

After all, this situation is not inconceivable for major game manufacturers.

"Watch Dog" is regarded as the first open-world game of Nebulas on the VR platform, and the point of appearance is also very clever.

That must be a hit, and the most outstanding point in VR mode is the sense of immersion.

What the player knows is the easiest way to get the immersion experience.

For example, there are so many themes in the open world. Why did the original Apex and the previous UEgame choose the modern city as the background?

Instead of choosing magic or some other theme?

The goal is to allow players to better immerse themselves in the background of the game.

So when Nebula Games began to announce the theme of "Watch Dog", most game manufacturers, even players, first thought of "GTA".

After all, this game is at the top of the best-selling list as long as the discount, or the top three games, is really too representative.

You can't figure out who is still buying this game that has been online for so long.

As the first open-world game on the VR platform of Nebula Games, it is also an urban theme.

Basically, many manufacturers have already defaulted. Maybe this is a "GTA" skinning game made by Nebula Games.

It's just a hacker's skin.

As for why not "GTA"?

After all, the title of "GTA" is placed here. If you transplant or sequel to the VR version, it will definitely be an explosion.

However, considering that this is the first time that Nebula Games has produced an open-world game on the VR platform, although before this, Nebulas Games’ most popular game project was to make open-world games, and it was also adopted on the VR platform. Games like The Last Survivor have already proven the strength of Nebula games.

But in case we are going to encounter Waterloo? After all, Nebula Games has not developed open-world games on the VR platform.

And in terms of cost and subsequent impact, if "GTA" succeeds, it will naturally be happy, but if it fails, then the loss to the Nebula game will be great.

Let's not talk about the cost. For the current nebula game, this cost is nothing to tell the truth, but the key is that the impact on the IP of "GTA" is too great.

Therefore, most game manufacturers think that "Watch Dog" may be a trial and error and trial of Nebula games, which is used to accumulate the development experience of the "GTA" series on the subsequent VR platform.

This situation is basically a very common behavior. The gameplay and mode of the whole game should be no different from "GTA".

The main purpose is to give Nebula games on the VR platform to accumulate experience in open world game development, as well as an experimental field-style game with related trial and error.

But I never imagined that there are indeed many elements in it that are similar to "GTA".

For example, the plot of the game is driven by a linear mode of one-way, and the main drive of the game is also driven by exploration.

But as soon as the game went live, many people were shocked. This is not a "GTA" game with a simple hacker skin.

Judging from some content released from major game live streaming sites and video sites, the core gameplay of this game is completely different from "GTA"!

In "GTA", players can really experience shooting, drag racing, flying airplanes, sailing yachts, triathlons, and card games. This is also one of the important selling points of the game.

The same is true of "Watch Dog", which contains many unique mini-games, but in the core gameplay.

Yang Chen and the team of Nebula Games made a lot of changes with "Watch Dog" in the dream memory.

In fact, "Watchdog" is a little embarrassing in the dream memory. The first generation of the plot is very good. Although it seems to be just a bitter revenge story, but through the plot in the game, the performance is very good. The role of Aiden Pierce is displayed in front of the player, and this character also has a very high popularity.

But in the gameplay, it was a bit behind, but it was not good enough, but compared to his promotional content, it seemed that some shrinkage was serious, plus the optimization and the problems on the screen, which also led to " Watch Dogs has the title of shrinking dog.

By the second generation, "Watch Dog" has evolved to be more complete. Compared to the cool gameplay in the first generation, various small games in the game, combined with special hacking capabilities, can It's much more interesting.

But there is also another shortcoming, that is, comparing the plot of the first generation, the plot of the second generation has some crotch, and the various main lines are interspersed with chaos, but it gives the player the impression that there is no revenge of the first-generation Aiden Pierce. The trip was very impressive.

On this, Yang Chen and the team also made a lot of effort, that is to make players more able to feel the existence of hacking skills in the game.

Especially with the unique immersive experience of the VR modeThe player's feeling is completely different.

For example, in the game, Yang Chen and his team also joined many more interesting mini games.

Driving a sports car to a racing hurricane, and when you are behind, use your hacking capabilities to quietly facilitate yourself, such as putting down the lift bar of a certain section to block this section.

Entering the casino to make a big bet, there are some tragic losses, by hacking into the casino's camera, so as to know the size of the cards in the hands of others, using cheating methods to become a gambler who must win every gambling.

In addition, just like "GTA", Chicago in the "Watch Dog" world, Yang Chen and his team also created a sufficiently real and vivid free world.

And this is also the most important content of the open world. After all, the real core of open world games lies in: the world.

Even in "Watch Dog", Yang Chen also tried to use some special AI technology to allow players to better feel the life and reality of the city of Chicago.
