Chapter 1154 Two Directions for VR Games
Since DoubtVR is so significant in both cases, a product that is impossible to avoid when talking about VR, then Qiao Laoshi's video title doesn't seem like clickbait at all, but rather makes perfect sense!
If there is a VR gaming era in the future, then DoubtVR will be like unveiling the prelude to this era; if there isn't a VR gaming era in the future, then DoubtVR will be like "I thought it was the beginning, but it turned out to be the peak," and even as a tombstone, it will be of great commemorative value.
Thinking about it that way, it really has historical significance...
The only question is, is Qiao Laoshi exaggerating when he says that the DoubtVR glasses and "Animal Island" jointly completed the basic specifications for VR games?
Che Rong continued to watch patiently.
...
"As we all know, VR games are currently a relatively niche game type. There are no large-scale works, let alone game sizes close to AAA titles; most VR games are not even as large as mobile games."
"And at first glance, 'Animal Island' is similar to other VR games, all of which are casual games, so many people subconsciously think it's not special."
"This is obviously a misunderstanding!"
"'Animal Island' is not only a very excellent and replayable casual game, it also has a more important significance, which is to determine the operation specifications of VR games and allow us to see the infinite possibilities of VR games in the future!"
"It is like a training ground. As long as everyone gets used to this operation method, it will naturally be easy to get started with large-scale, AAA-level VR games in the future!"
"Next, I will combine the game content to introduce in detail what is the operating specification of VR games."
The following content mainly used Qiao Liang's game screen during the live broadcast, and introduced in detail some basic operations in "Animal Island."
For example, the three different ways of moving, the operation of reloading and cocking when hunting with a shotgun, the operations of shooting arrows, fishing, chopping trees, mining, and the operation of grabbing objects with a steam claw, and so on.
In the process of explanation, it also combined the structure of the DoubtVR handle to introduce in detail the different division of labor of the five fingers, and the difference between this special handle structure and the traditional VR glasses handle.
Che Rong had never played "Animal Island." He bought the DoubtVR glasses simply to use with the intelligent fitness clothes rack. He hadn't even unsealed the handles, and had put them away to prevent them from getting lost.
But after listening to Qiao Laoshi's explanation, he also became interested in this game.
So this handle has so many complex ways to play?
Especially under the current technical level, the perfect combination of games and hardware devices brings the best gaming experience to players, which is really amazing.
"After fully understanding this set of operating specifications, everyone should understand its importance. Obviously, this is a standard answer, and all future VR games can just copy it!"
"Take the first-person shooting game, which is the most suitable VR theme, for example. Although there were some similar games before, they were not very mature."
"For example, the operation of changing magazines and loading is missing; the number of bullets is displayed on the interface instead of on the gun; the character cannot move independently, but only has the option of standing and shooting; there is no operation such as picking up props..."
"But now, if you want to develop a new FPS game on the VR platform, you can follow the example of the shotgun in 'Animal Island'!"
"Similarly, if you want to do content such as fishing, mining, collecting materials, picking up props, racing and driving, you can also find corresponding methods in 'Animal Island'."
"For players, 'Animal Island' is a fun casual game, and it also shows us the infinite possibilities of VR in the future, allowing most people to have a comprehensive innovation in the concept of VR: It makes us realize that VR is no longer a virtual concept, but a relatively mature commercial game prototype that can already be experienced."
"And for game developers, 'Animal Island' is like an encyclopedia and textbook for VR games. No matter what type of VR game you want to make in the future, you can find the corresponding modules in 'Animal Island'. You don't need to rack your brains to consider how the basic gameplay should be done, just follow the approach of 'Animal Island'."
"So, I said that 'Animal Island' has established standards for future VR games, and with its own strength, it directly brought VR games, which were originally niche and gimmick-oriented, to a practical stage where they can be played normally and have rich content!"
"'Fitness Battle VR Version' takes another direction, which is the pure simulator direction."
"In 'Fitness Battle', the rich functions of the two handles are completely abandoned, and the intelligent fitness clothes rack is used to play the game."
"This obviously points out another development direction of VR headsets: to be used with professional simulators."
"Don't underestimate simulators. Although this category is a bit niche, its market potential is definitely worth exploring. Currently, the more common ones are racing simulators, with steering wheels, pedals, gears, and handbrakes. With a three-screen display or even a G-force seat, the price is also quite high."
"In addition, there are more niche flight simulators."
"Currently, these simulators are basically used with three-screen displays or customized curved screens. Curved screens are too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them. Three-screen displays are more commonly used, but the borders and field of vision of screen splicing still cannot achieve high fidelity."
"And after using VR devices, this immersion is definitely far better than screens."
"The only problem may be that the resolution of racing games is not high enough. The 2k picture quality is not enough when put on VR glasses, and it cannot fully exert the resolution advantages of VR glasses."
"But I believe these problems will be solved in the future."
"It has been confirmed in 'Animal Island' that moving with a balancing scooter is very popular. It is neither as out of place as instant movement, nor as dizzy as ordinary panning."
"This shows that the combination of VR devices and simulators has a lot of potential! Although it cannot guarantee that everyone will not be dizzy, at least the audience has expanded a lot."
"In addition, 'Animal Island' and 'Fitness Battle' have another outstanding advantage, which is that they make full use of existing functions, promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, and bring players the best gaming experience at this stage!"
"Due to the characteristics of VR devices, when the resolution is insufficient, it is easy to appear blurred and has obvious graininess, which affects the gaming experience."
"And 'Animal Island' and 'Fitness Battle' deliberately avoided the realistic style of painting, adopted a more casual Q version style, and carefully polished the colors, so that players feel comfortable and relaxed when they are in the VR world, and the graininess is significantly reduced."
"Speaking of this, everyone should understand the meaning of this video title."
"These two games are not made casually, they are obviously prepared!"
"They represent two development directions of VR games in the future: one is to use the existing VR handle structure to develop some universal VR games; the other is to use a dedicated simulator, so that VR glasses are only used as display devices."
"So, I said that it has established specifications for future VR games, and there is absolutely no exaggeration!"
"If you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend that you experience DoubtVR glasses. Its various configurations are definitely the highest among the current VR glasses. The two games, 'Animal Island' and 'Fitness Battle', will definitely subvert your understanding of VR games!"
"If you are afraid of buying VR glasses and letting them collect dust, you can also go to offline stores to experience them. As far as I know, Moyu Internet cafes in Jingzhou have fully popularized VR experience areas, and stores like Xingniao Fitness have also purchased a large number of VR glasses for customers to experience. Other cities are estimated to be coming soon."
"You may wish to go to similar offline stores to experience it, I believe it will definitely bring you a completely different feeling!"
"This video ends here. I am still your Qiao Laoshi. Please join me in looking forward to the arrival of the VR era!"
"See you in the next episode!"
...
After watching the video, Che Rong's face was full of surprise.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Laoshi mentioned Xingniao Fitness in the end of the video, which was really a pleasant surprise!
Che Rong originally thought that the video title was a bit exaggerated, but after watching the video, he felt that he was completely convinced by Qiao Laoshi.
Indeed, he lacked foresight!
According to what Qiao Laoshi said, "Animal Island" is equivalent to establishing the specifications for VR games. As long as players accept these specifications, then developing other types of games in the future will become a natural thing.
In this case, the popularity of DoubtVR glasses will definitely not disappear quickly.
Because other game manufacturers may also release some VR games, coupled with the new game developed by Chixing Studio, the popularity of VR will last for a long time.
As long as VR is popular, Xingniao Fitness can gain popularity.
What's more, there may not only be the intelligent fitness clothes rack in the future. Maybe Tenda will develop some other simulators? Such as running and shooting simulators with omnidirectional treadmills, or skiing simulators.
At that time, Xingniao Fitness can also have a variety of fitness methods!
As long as you hold on to President Pei's thigh, these are all small problems that can be easily solved?
...
...
July 23, Monday.
Chixing Studio.
The employees all gathered happily to celebrate the success of DoubtVR and the two VR games.
"Look, a game media is introducing our products!"
"This media also used words such as 'unveiling the prelude to the VR era', 'comprehensive transformation to VR games', and 'the future is here'. It seems that this time it has indeed had a very sensational effect!"
"It is estimated that the official platform will also give corresponding resources for publicity sooner or later."
Everyone's faces were filled with joy.
