Chapter 215 The Perspective of an Ordinary Player


Wei Ming: "However, every time when technology breaks through the bottleneck, it looks like a miracle."

Wei Miao admitted: "Of course. But this time, will it be natural to look like a miracle... Maybe not.”

“I am also a player of the Masquerade,” Wei Ming said in surprise.

“Ah?!” Wei Miao was rarely surprised by her cousin, “Don’t you rarely play virtual games?”

Wei Ming is a loyal stand-alone gamer. The player only buys one or two stand-alone machines a year. His performance in the physical movements required for virtual games is mediocre and he is not very interested in it.

"Before, there was a lot of hype on the Internet, and it was a new type of virtual helmet. I had some free time at that time, so I bought one to learn about the most cutting-edge virtual game."

Wei Ming: "It's The quality is indeed amazing, but I think it is still possible to generate random copies through powerful AI technology..."

Wei Ming told some of his technical guesses about various aspects, and Wei Miao only asked after listening. In one sentence: "How far have you played now?"

"I played it twice and then stopped. I feel that the game is not suitable for me." Wei Ming confessed, "The scenes that are so realistic make people almost forget them. It was a virtual world, and the atmosphere between players was uncomfortable. It was like... treating every win or loss as a real battle, by any means necessary, regardless of morality. I'm not saying that you shouldn't strive for victory, but players regard victory within the game. It’s too serious. In the end, the game is essentially just data for people’s entertainment.”

“In the second ranking game, the three players from the same camp that I met directly killed each other for victory. The goal of the game, but they could have accomplished it through 'persuasion'. After I blocked it, I was sold out by them in the subsequent confrontation. Although I won in the end, I still felt... they were terrible players. ”

"After the curtain call, they were able to talk and laugh with me, telling me not to mind, everything was a means to win the game, and in the end they helped me win."

"I feel that the game treats the player's behavior The lack of necessary restraints has led to an increasingly crazy competitive atmosphere.”

Wei Ming’s tone was not very good. He is a consistent Buddhist player.

As a game anchor and competitive player, Wei Miao is used to the kind of people he mentioned.

Wei Ming describes games as nothing more than data for entertainment, but in fact his actions unconsciously violate this. He places his emotions and values ​​in the overly real virtual game. On the contrary, the players he talks about are closer to the essence of the game.

In a traditional single-player game, no player will waver just to kill an NPC. They killed hundreds of enemies, and everyone knew that was reproducible data.

However, the selling point of virtual games is reality. Therefore, virtual games in the past were very cautious between real and fake. Manufacturers need to control a degree so that people can have a sense of immersion and distinguish between virtual and real people.

The masquerade is so real that it makes people doubt the fakeness of the game, weakening the player's perception of the virtual. Therefore, Wei Ming's idea is completely reasonable.

He is very representative among Buddhist players.

But he only played the shallow part of the game. At the carnival party, every player vaguely revealed their seriousness behind the game.

Even so, among high-level players, there are still differences on how to treat the dungeon world, and each has its own position and perspective. This controversy has continued since the birth of Masquerade. It is foreseeable that this will be an insurmountable conflict between players.

"Maybe it's because the target audience of this game is people who play chaotic music." For Wei Ming, a complete materialist, Wei Miao knew that even if she told the truth completely, it would be difficult to shake his understanding, so Follow his words.

"But I think you should give it a try. Maybe you can really dig out their skills, and when you get stronger, you can control those fun people." Wei Miao never mentioned her gaming style. Ridicule and advise like an outsider.

Wei Ming: "Okay, I'll try my best." "Remember to read the "Basic Game Manual"."

"I've seen it."

"Oh? What is 'multidimensional power determination'?"

"..."

Wei Ming was silent.

Looking at this, Wei Miao roughly guessed which part he was looking at. It was nothing more than the basic settings of the three major aspects. He understood the development components of the game and did not go into the complex judgment mechanism. Research.

He hesitated for a while and said: "So, what is multi-dimensional strength determination?"

"Simply put, all aspects related to strength may be judged once. Which aspects are determined based on skill requirements, generally only all-dimensional Only when the judgment is passed is it deemed to be passed. For example, for example, checking the character's muscle density is a direct attribute judgment to determine whether the value of the strength attribute meets the standard. "

Wei. Ming said with admiration: "It seems that you are still the professional...you should belong to the top group of players, right?"

Wei Miao said sincerely: "Don't count, there are many players who are better than me."

Wei Ming knew her game level as well as the masquerade, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

After half an hour of driving, they finally arrived at Wei Jin's apartment. Along the way, Wei Ming and Wei Miao exchanged some views on current games and anecdotes they heard in their daily lives.

Wei Miao followed Wei Jin into the apartment, threw her backpack into the guest room and quickly went downstairs.

They will go to the food court for lunch via the well-connected subway.

On the subway, Wei Miao looked at her mobile phone, while Wei Jin and Wei Ming put on AR glasses.

In daily life, smartphones have not been completely eliminated by AR devices because of their high reliability, complete application system, portability and low cost.

Peng Gein's AR eyes look just like fashionable sunglasses. The breakthrough in hardware makes it thin and compact, but it can independently integrate applications equivalent to smartphones. It not only magnifies the screen of mobile phones and computers, but can also be used as a separate smart phone. When using the device, you can control it with gestures through the matching sensor ring. However, if you are in a silent public place, the convenience of inputting text is not as convenient as that of a mobile phone.

If they are people with one-way intrusive brain-computer interfaces, they can use higher-end AR to issue various instructions through their thoughts. They are the perfect group for AR.

But not only the federation, but the whole world is wary of invasive brain-computer interfaces. Although it can truly connect people and everything, potential security risks cannot be ignored.

Even if someone is willing to try, the vast majority use one-way invasive brain-computer interfaces, which only realize one-way information transmission from brain decoding to peripheral control, rather than two-way brain-computer interfaces, which can use electrical stimulation. Transmitting signals to the brain, the latter relies on repeaters to even abandon peripherals completely to obtain external information with a quality equivalent to AR glasses.

Of course Wei Miao chose the latter between quality of life and safety.

The gaming circle has been quite busy recently, and the real-life part is interspersed with some time-sensitive news to "keep up with current events", so there are continuous updates (limited time edition).
