A week after Chen Xu talked with Yang Chen.

The aftermath of The Last of Us online has not yet dissipated.

News about additional new equipment equipped with Oneworld VR was also disclosed, and overseas Zeus also announced corresponding news soon after.

If it weren't for the official announcement, everyone would definitely regard it as a joke.

But now?

The news spread all over the world instantly.

‘Fuck, fuck! Something so awesome has come out? ’

‘I don’t believe it at all. If I capture my thoughts and feed them back into the game, wouldn’t I be able to be like a master in the future? Originally, the difference between me and the masters was that my brain could react, but my hands could not! ’

'Ahem, brother upstairs, your brain can react but your hands can't. Is this an illusion brought on by your brain? In fact, the master's brain can react but his hands can't keep up with the speed of his brain, causing him to There is an upper limit bottleneck, and your brain is just slow to react and your hands are disabled? ’

‘? ? ? ? ? you shut up! ’

‘A lot of authoritative media have also reported it. Damn it, is this true? ’

‘Are you really that awesome? I don’t know how much it will sell for! ’

The impact of this news can be described as that of a major earthquake.

For a while, there was simply a lot of speculation about this new device.

As for Nebula Games, Chen Xu and his team members are all in the project room.

The game department also provided relevant development prototypes.

Also includes some relevant data that can be disclosed.

"Is this the latest equipment? It doesn't feel like anything!"

"I thought it would be a game warehouse like a big box. Players would lie in it while playing, and then various instruments would be connected to their bodies."

Qin Yi, Ruan Ningxue, Meng Zuo, and Yang Xin looked at the development prototype with curious faces.

It's like a head sticker. If it weren't for the data cable connected in series, I wouldn't have known it was a new expansion device.

However, compared to Yang Xin and the others who are curious about the baby, Chen Xu is paying attention to the parameters of the new equipment and the actual numerical performance.

"The main difficulty is the operation feedback. Delay is basically not a big problem." Chen Xu nodded while looking at the feedback on the big screen.

Brain waves are fed back to the device, which is then converted into action information in the game.

This is still very critical and directly affects the types of games that can be developed.

When the player presses the controller, there will be an output line delay when the controller is transmitted to the game device, and there will be a calculation delay when transmitted to the game device for calculation, and then there will be an output line delay when the response from the game device is transmitted to the real device.

Today's so-called brainwave capture controllers are not produced by a single game manufacturer both domestically and abroad.

Just like joystick controllers, different prices have different pros and cons.

The delay feedback presented by the mid-range has a floating delay of about 20ms. Although there is a certain gap from the controller, this gap is basically undetectable if it is not tested with special instruments.

As for the current top equipment, delayed feedback can be compressed to about 10ms, which is almost non-existent.

"The new equipment is likely to completely change players' operating habits! It's so convenient." Meng Zuo stood next to Chen Xu and sighed while looking at the relevant data.

"Not necessarily, but there are indeed many games that can benefit." Chen Xu nodded and said.

Regarding VR equipment, in fact, Chen Xu could not completely let go of some previous projects.

Because the core point of the player's operation is one aspect.

For example, for more complex gameplay and operations, in addition to the player's learning costs, the player's gaming equipment must also be taken into consideration.

"So Mr. Chen, will our next project apply this new technology?" Qin Yi asked Chen Xu.

"Of course, we also want to see how far the new technology can be applied to games. If it is good enough, then the game we have been preparing since Nebula World can almost be put on the agenda." Chen Xu nodded and said.

……………………

It’s not just Nebula Games that is making preparations.

Major game manufacturers at home and abroad are basically exploring new technologies.

Although it is not a disruptive change, it can affect the operation mode of future players.

Changes in operating modes will fundamentally affect the design of the game, including the production of levels.

Of course, in the early stage, it will mainly be compatible with two different operating modes.

Just like when the new era of World and Zeus consoles were first launched, major game manufacturers, including Nebula Games, would launch versions of the previous era.

It was not until OneWorld VR gradually covered the market and the installed capacity increased that the focus was completely shifted to OneWorld VR.

The same is true for current new technologies, and a proportion of players with new equipment needs to be taken into account.

There is no doubt that this is a new direction.

fow directly announced that the ticket will be delayed, and the new game will introduce new operations.

Atari said it will develop a game specifically using new technologies.

Domestic NetDragon said that it will reset one of its excellent IP works and then add new control technology.

Players are used to this, after all, NetDragon.

However, what makes many players a little uncomfortable is that when game manufacturers one after another start to draw the pie, Chen Xu, who has always made them think that he is the best at piecing the pie, actually seems to be silent and there is no such thing as him. Same.

In the project room of Nebula Games, looking at the various topics discussed by players in the game community, especially those focused on himself, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh and shook his head: "Players' impression of me is inevitably limited to painting. Is it the cake stage?”

Of course not, there are knives, bad jokes, and the new Riddler.

The people around him murmured.

"But, Mr. Chen, what exactly is our new project?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

During this time, they didn't do anything at all.

Instead, a lot of resource trial and error was carried out.

For example, a series of actions such as running, climbing, fighting, etc.

Brainwave capture and feedback are more about just switching on and off. It doesn't mean that players can actually make these actions just by thinking about drawing a circle with their left hand, drawing a circle with their right hand, and somersaulting on the spot.

Instead, the game itself needs to support these actions, and at the same time, it can be triggered by signals based on the analysis of the program.

Therefore, the actions of the game itself, adding more details and using brain capture to provide feedback, all need to be tried.

They all know that the new game is a test of new technology, but they have done a lot of material production, but they still don't know the content of the game yet.

"What do you think of artificial intelligence? If robots have human emotions and thinking, do you think they can be counted as humans?" Chen Xu asked with a smile.

Before anyone could answer again, Chen Xu continued talking on his own.

"And if artificial intelligence robots become popular, what situation will society face?"

"A large number of artificial intelligence will eliminate the jobs of ordinary people. More and more jobs such as drivers and construction workers will be eliminated by robots, thus causing a conflict of hatred between human society and artificial intelligence."

"Just like the emergence of large machines in the steam revolution, workers thought the machines had taken away their jobs and started smashing the machines."

"But the difference is that people at that time hated machines, but machines without thinking could not resist. If the object becomes an artificial intelligence robot, and the three laws lose their effect on the artificial intelligence, the software will become unstable and break If we break that wall, can robots and humans live in peace, or will they fight each other?" Chen Xu said with a smile as he looked at the crowd.

"Detroit: Become Human" is the game that Chen Xu is preparing to test the waters.

First of all, it is somewhat different from normal games. This game is an interactive movie-themed game.

Interactive movie games can be said to be the type of games that require the least manipulation.

The operation is even simpler than some casual games.

Because in the game, in addition to requiring the player to control the action direction of the characters in the game.

The most important point is to conduct QTE and multiple-choice questions based on the content in the game.

Secondly, in "Detroit: Become Human", there is a small amount of fighting, shooting, climbing, and parkour.

Of course, in the previous life, these were all done as QTE.

But now, the combination of these simple contents can be tested as a new technology.

In addition, it is equipped with different options, as well as brainwave capture technology and its own world VR immersive experience.

Chen Xu feels that through this game, it may be able to bring players a more unique experience.
