Chapter 148 Game Guide? Introduction to Auto Repair!

"Forza Motors" is selling very well.

Thanks to the powerful physics engine, this game is absolutely the best in the racing games.

But success and failure are both due to Xiao He!

Because the physics engine is too powerful and the simulation effect is so outstanding, this also brings another problem -

Repairing a car is difficult! In other racing games, repairing a car only requires moving the mouse and clicking a few times.

But in the game "Forza Motorsport", vehicle maintenance requires a rough knowledge of automobiles, and it is not something that can be done with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Hardcore!

This is the first feeling many players have after getting started. Compared with similar games, "Need for Speed" is too hardcore, too professional and realistic.

Carbon deposits on the engine, brake failure, battery failure, oil leakage, steering difficulties...

These problems are impossible to encounter in other similar games, but in the game "Ford", they have become problems that players have to face every day.

Why do these problems exist? The answer is: physics engines!

The realistic and powerful physics engine simulates the internal structure of the vehicle, which is equivalent to each of these game racing cars being made up of thousands of precise and detailed parts.

In other games, crashing and flipping the car are no big deal, you just need to adjust the angle and keep running.

But in the game "Need for Speed", crashing or overturning the car will cause damage to the car, which can be serious and impossible to drive, or even minor internal damage, leaving serious hidden dangers...

If this isn't vivid enough.

To put it another way, the vehicles in the game "Forza Motorsport" are as fragile as real-life vehicles and it is impossible to crash into them mindlessly.

The only difference from real cars is that the cars in the game do not need to be refueled or charged, and cannot cause any form of damage to the player.

In other words.

If a car accident happens in the game, the people will be fine, but it is hard to say what the car will be like...

Such a hardcore game, with each car consisting of so many parts, makes players both admire and feel helpless.

What I admire is that Tianba Studio is so amazing that these cars are made so precisely and realistically.

Unfortunately...

Such a sophisticated racing car, comparable to a real car, would be very troublesome to repair if it broke down.

It's more than just a hassle! Many people have bought the Platinum Edition, which has its own dedicated modification and repair workshop with all the tools and equipment.

But the question is, how do you use these tools? How do you repair these cars?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Guo Mo teamed up with his old classmate Qiangzi to start a live broadcast of "Ford" special car repair teaching.

Combined with various game situations, we will teach you how to quickly troubleshoot problems and repair your own car...

The live broadcast of the two quickly gained the support of a large number of players. They gained popularity and gifts, and the players also learned basic car repair and maintenance knowledge from their live broadcast.

Chen Ba was stunned.

One dares to teach, the other dares to learn!

The key is that what he teaches is really useful, because the powerful physics engine of "Need for Speed" can fully simulate real car conditions.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in using Qiangzi’s maintenance experience in the game. It can even be said that he really wants to teach everyone how to repair cars!

Tianba official website, player community.

The newly released "Ford" has not yet set up a dedicated discussion section, and all players have gathered in the "Brother Ba Support" section to discuss the game content.

In this section, players also shared their own "Need for Speed" game strategies and experiences, which were featured and pinned by community administrators.

Sounds like there's nothing wrong with it?

really!

In the player community, it is perfectly normal for top players to share their gaming experiences and strategy tutorials.

But...

The game "Need for Speed" is a bit special. The game experiences and strategies shared by these top players have a different style from other games.

Chen Ba clicked in and took a look.

He only took a glance and was instantly stunned by the contents of these essential strategy posts, teaching posts, and experience posts.

[Troubleshooting methods for engine, transmission, suspension and brake systems]

[Two days of hard work! A quick overview of automotive circuit principles and common troubleshooting methods...]

[Change tires in three seconds and repair tires in five seconds! How to use various car repair tools and equipment! ]

Game guide? NO!

Getting started with auto repair? YES!

How can this be sharing game experience and game strategies? This is clearly Lanxiang opening a branch on Tianba’s official website to recruit and train auto repair talents!

Chen Ba also took a special look at the URL bar to make sure that this was Tianba’s official website and not the official website of a vocational auto repair school.

Good god! Is this how you play games? "Need for Speed" is only sold for over 100 yuan, which is a huge loss. You can learn auto repair by playing games, so you must charge several thousand yuan for the registration fee? "It's such a rip-off!"

Chen Ba was speechless and choked up: "Aren't we developing a racing game?"

"yes!"

Xiao Lu was also surprised: "Isn't "Need for Speed" a racing game? How did it become a crash course in auto repair?"

“I don’t understand either…”

Zhong Shengwei scratched his head.

Not only Brother Ba, but the entire studio was shocked by this strange phenomenon.

What they developed was clearly a serious car racing game, but now players' attention seems to have all been focused on repairing cars.

“The physics engine is so realistic.”

"We also imported data from car manufacturers, so the cars in the game are almost the same as real cars."

Yang Dong explained: "The most important thing is that the cars in the game are too fragile. If you use a little force, they will be smashed to pieces."

Cars in other games can even battle with tanks on the road, and there will be no damage if they collide head-on with a tank. You can drive them as you like.

But in "Ford", let alone hitting a tank, even if you hit a random stone on the side of the road at high speed, the car is basically ruined...

No kidding!

The powerful physics engine is so awesome. If you dare to hit the roadside trees, electric poles, curbs and even guardrails, you will be stuck on the spot.

"Isn't there insurance?"

"The insurance price will go up! And if you have too many accidents, Tianba Insurance will blacklist you and they will not accept your insurance."

Yang Dong shrugged and said, "This is the mechanism designed by Brother Ba himself. Have you all forgotten it?"

Everyone: “…”

It's true! If we don't mention this, everyone will forget that Brother Ba's insurance mechanism is actually quite deceptive.

No wonder players work hard to learn car repair knowledge by watching live broadcasts every day. No wonder the strategy posts in the player community are all about various introductory car repair techniques...

There’s no need for this insurance!

The Platinum Edition comes with a repair and modification workshop, allowing you to be self-reliant. Isn’t that a good thing?

"How about this..."

After listening to everyone's conversation, Chen Ba said thoughtfully: "Online mode, open players' repair and modification workshops."

"In the future, the modification and repair workshop provided with the Platinum Edition can be used by yourself or rented out to others."

Think big! In online mode, players can even use the modification workshop to open their own repair shop and modification shop to provide car repair and modification services for other players.

"Repair other players' cars?"

Yang Dong was stunned and said, "You know what, this idea is feasible! Buying the platinum version is equivalent to buying a game store, which gives you an additional option to make money."

You can set your own charging standards.

As long as the price of repairing the car does not exceed that of the NPC and the repair is done quickly, there will definitely be players patronizing the business.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But the prerequisite is that you have to know how to repair it!

Otherwise, even if the way to make money is right in front of you, you will not be able to grasp the opportunity, and you can only rent the modification and repair workshop to others and become a landlord.

…

"Hey! The game has been updated?"

Bing Coke went online again and found that "Ford" pushed an update package at around eight o'clock in the evening.

An update announcement has also been released.

This update mainly focuses on server optimization and maintenance for the online mode, and also launches player-to-player car repair, maintenance, and modification services.

"Can we open the store now?"

After reading the update announcement, Bing Kele was greatly surprised and quickly logged into the online mode to check his own modification and repair workshop.

really!

In online mode, the modified repair workshop given by the Platinum Edition can provide services to other players.

The charging standards are set by yourself, but the game officials will charge a 20% handling fee for each transaction.

at the same time.

If you don’t know how to repair, maintain or modify cars, you can rent your workshop to other players and collect a regular rent.

"interesting!"

Bing Coke immediately opened the workshop to other players and named the shop [Coke Auto Repair].

After opening, all players in online mode will be able to see the business stores on the same server on the map.

Then follow the navigation to come to the store, consult and purchase various services.

[Coke Auto Repair] Not long after opening, a friend from Bing Coke’s live broadcast room came to visit.

He's not repairing cars.

Everyone in the live broadcast room knows that Bing Kele is only good at sheet metal repair and painting, and everyone who knows how to do it can also do it. It's simply a waste of time to ask him to repair your car.

This fan bought the standard version.

He didn't have a modified repair shop, so he wanted to experience what it was like for players in the online mode to repair cars.

The iced Coke satisfied him.

Since the car that the netizen drove actually had no problems, he simply removed the wheel and then reinstalled it.

Commonly known as: pretending! The round trip fee was 580 yuan. Watching the fans pay, and the money after deducting the handling fee, also went into his own game currency balance, Bing Kele laughed out loud.

Great! Can you really repair cars for players? Then the online mode will be fun. A large number of players who bought the platinum version or know how to repair cars have started to provide logistics support services.

Open the coupons! NPC charges 100 yuan for a tire repair? Too expensive, too expensive! Brother, come to my place to repair your tire, and I will only charge you 50 yuan, which is half the price of NPC!

Don't listen to him, brother. Come to my place to get your tire fixed. It'll only cost you 20 yuan and I'll also give you a free car wash. It's a great deal.

What the hell is this a shady shop? The tire repair at [Coke Auto Repair] only costs ten dollars, and they also give me a free car wash and a new bottle of engine oil. You are so insincere...

Thinking of this, Bing Coke Bengbu lived.

This gameplay will definitely be ruined!

But then again, it's really rare to play a racing game like this. It's not even rare, but it's never been seen before.

Too abstract.

A racing game, but the best thing about it is the car repair function? There is even a professional car repair shop where players can repair other players' cars? It's worth spending more than 100 yuan!

I feel that even Microsoft's Forza Horizon series is not as good as Tianba Studio's "Forza", at least you can't repair the car in Horizon.

The more he thought about it, the harder it got. He shook his head and complained to the audience in the live broadcast room: "I almost forgot why I played this game in the first place. Now all I can think about is repairing cars..."

How many days has he been playing?

So far, he has learned skills such as changing engine oil, repairing tires, and sheet metal repair and painting.

If he continues to play, he has no doubt that sooner or later he will become a professional auto mechanic and even open a repair shop on the roadside in his hometown.

Is this a car repair training game? Thinking of the current sales of "Need for Speed" on all platforms, Bing Kele couldn't help but sigh, is this game trying to train hundreds of thousands of car mechanics and destroy the entire car repair industry?

certainly!

This must be bullshit.

Again, real-life car repair experience can be applied to the game "Need for Speed".

But can the car repair experience in the game be brought into reality?

Most likely it won't work, games are not the same as reality! You learned sheet metal repair in the game, it's just a matter of a few clicks of the mouse, but how can it be so easy in reality? "Although I can't be a car mechanic, I can learn more about cars through this game, at least I won't be cheated when repairing a car in real life." Bing Kele laughed.

After all, having played this game, you must have the basic theoretical knowledge, it’s just that you lack practice.

It's not just about repairing your car, you don't have to worry about being ripped off.

Even when buying a car, there is also a reference. After all, the physics engine of this game is so powerful that you can tell which car is durable at a glance. "Hey! That's not right..."

When thinking of this, Bing Kele suddenly realized something he had overlooked.

Real and powerful physics engine.

The internal structure of the vehicle is highly restored. Based on these two premises, can the game replace the common "crash test" in the automotive industry? After all, the collisions and scratches in this game, except that the players will not be injured, the other car damage is exactly the same as in real car accidents.

So here comes the question!

If we use the game "Need for Speed" to test the power and safety performance of these models, will the test results be reliable? Bing Kele was surprised by his own idea.

If the test results are reliable, does it mean that in the future, when consumers buy a car, they can test drive it in "Ford" in advance?

Not only safety performance, it seems that even the failure rate can be measured! (End of this chapter)
