This perspective surprised Zhao Lei.
“By right, Chen Mo had made many first person VR games, including the previously popular mysterious seas. ”
“The first-person perspective was the best way to enhance the player’s sense of immersion, and it was the choice of most mainstream VR games. ”
“However,””doomsday of the United States”” had chosen a traditional overhead view. Was there a deeper meaning to this? ”
“At this moment, Zhao Lei felt like he was a non-existent ghost floating behind the little girl. He could control the little girl’s every move, but in the end, he could only be considered a bystander. ”
It was as if a director was controlling his field of view (camera lens) and experiencing the story from multiple angles.
“However, after knowing that he was controlling a little girl, Zhao Lei had a new guess. There was a high possibility that there were multiple character changes in this game. ”
“Games that used the first person perspective usually had a fixed main character. For example, in outlast and PlayerUnknown’s Battleground, the players would not experience any other characters from the beginning to the end. ”
“However, if a game required “”soul transmigration”” between multiple characters, then the first-person perspective would be problematic. ”
“One moment it was a little girl, the next it was an adult male, the next moment it was a pretty girl … In a first-person perspective, it was easy for players to doubt their current identity. ”
“Therefore, there should be two considerations in using this over-shoulder perspective. One was to let the players experience the story from a pure bystander’s point of view. The other was to reduce the confusion caused by the change in character. ”
“Zhao Lei felt that Chen Mo had chosen to play from a shoulder-view after much thought. However, he still wanted to say that this technique was really old-fashioned. ”
“After all, with the popularity of VR games, video game designers were trying to find out more about the game ‘s’ immersion ‘, even focusing on the game’s script, playstyle, and narrative in order to create a’ first person perspective ‘and’ immersion ‘. It was rare to see someone like Chen Mo sacrificing VR game features for a story. ”
“As the little girl stood up from the bed, Zhao Lei had officially obtained control of the little girl. ”
“There was a simple prompt in his field of vision, telling him that he could control the little girl to walk, open the door, and so on. ”
“While walking, the little girl would occasionally talk to herself, rub her eyes, shiver, or yawn. ”
“After trying it out for real, Zhao Lei realized that this over-shoulder view was actually quite good in VR games. It was not as stiff as he had imagined. More importantly, being able to watch the little girl’s actions throughout the entire process, although it was less immersive, it made the scene and plot more smooth. ”
“On the table, Zhao Lei found the little girl’s birthday card for her father. ”
“””Dad, you’re often not at home, you hate my favorite music, and you look down on my favorite movies, but the strange thing is that you can still win best dad every year. Happy Birthday, yay!”” ”
“It was signed off as “”love you, Sara.”” ”
Zhao Lei could not help but smile when he saw this.
“He was a father now, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of warmth in his heart when he saw this. ”
“The little girl’s room was full of details. There were jerseys, sneakers, computers, music, posters, and so on. It looked like a very ordinary United States family. However, the decorations gave Zhao Lei a sense of age. It felt like it was from a few years ago. After all, the technology in the shop looked quite outdated. ”
“Chen Mo didn’t mention the exact year of the story, but he did hint at it in the game. ”
“The newspaper in the room had the latest news The number of people admitted to the hospital soared, the number of bizarre infections increased by 300%, the food and health Department found more contaminated crops, the woman madly killed her husband and the other three people, and so on. ”
Qiaoer wasn’t in the bedroom. The news about the infected was still playing on the TV.
“On the television, the reporter was reporting when a gas explosion suddenly occurred, and the television signal was cut off. At the same time, there was an explosion outside the window, and a flame lit up in the dark night sky. ”
The rustling sound of the television and the sirens of the cars outside the room suddenly made the atmosphere of the entire game strange.
“””So, it’s the eve of the virus outbreak?”” ”
“Zhao Lei controlled the little girl to search for various elements in the room while speculating about the current plot. Obviously,””doomsday of the United States”” was about the story after the outbreak of the zombie virus, and now was obviously the outbreak period. ”
“When he arrived downstairs, a row of police cars whizzed past. ”
The dog was barking.
The clock showed that the time was 215.
“At that moment, the phone on the table rang. It was Uncle Tommy, who was looking for Joel. Zhao Lei continued to control the little girl to look for clues in the room. Suddenly, the dog outside the door let out a wail and then went silent. ”
“As they continued to walk, qiaoer suddenly ran back. While panting and chatting with the little girl, he rummaged through the cabinet and loaded the gun. ”
“A man who had been infected and lost his mind suddenly broke the glass door. He was covered in blood and looked like he had been deeply infected and had lost his mind. Qiaoer stood in front of the little girl. After warning her, he didn’t hesitate to shoot the neighbor who had barged in. ”
“What happened after that was logical. Uncle Tommy drove over to pick up the father and daughter, and then the three of them escaped together. ”
“The little girl sat in the back seat, looking at everything outside through the car window in horror. ”
“On the way, Tommy and qiaoer were discussing the outbreak of the epidemic. On the way, a family wanted a ride. Tommy wanted to stop the car, but qiaoer stopped him. ”
“Traffic jams, zombies everywhere, car accidents, being attacked, carrying a little girl and continuing to run … ”
“The next plot was a standard Zombie Escape plot, but the atmosphere of the story was well-created panicked pedestrians, screams, cars that crashed into gas stations and exploded, a father who kept comforting his daughter, and zombies that suddenly ran out … All of these details were extremely rich, and the scenes and images were as detailed as those in “”mysterious Sea area,”” so it gave people a very strong sense of realism. ”
“Finally, they arrived at the highway. The soldiers in front fired and killed the zombies that were chasing them. ”
“””Sir, there’s a little girl here … But … Yes, sir.”” The soldier asked his superior. ”
“Joel seemed to have understood something and tried to persuade the soldier.””””Listen, brother, we just escaped from death …”” ”
“However, the soldiers raised their guns. ”
He fired!
“Joel subconsciously turned his back to the gun, hoping to block the bullet for his daughter. At the same time, he rolled forward. ”
But the soldier still came up to qiaoer and pointed the gun at his head.
“Just as qiaoer thought he was dead for sure, a gunshot rang out. Tommy had arrived just in time and shot the soldier in the head. ”
“However, just when Zhao Lei thought that the father and daughter had finally escaped, he found his daughter sobbing at the side. She had been shot in the abdomen. ”
“The blood instantly spread, and the little girl’s voice gradually became lower … ”
“Joel comforted his daughter in vain and covered her wound, but he could only watch the little girl die in tears. ”
“The sad and sorrowful sound of the guitar rang out. In the silence of the night, qiaoer held his dead daughter and cried. ”
“At this moment, the camera was pulled up, and the starry sky became dark. In the night sky, the game’s name appeared the United States of us. ”
