Chapter 274 Galaxy Suit
"Star Emperor 2" is a new game after all, and new games require a long period of trial and error and testing before they can be launched on the field.
In other words, everyone still has time to adjust slowly so as not to be caught off guard right from the start.
But before that, the "Galaxy" peripheral set exclusive to "Star Emperor 2" that Zhao Yunlong pre-ordered finally arrived!
As soon as he received the express, Zhao Yunlong couldn't wait to open the package and take out the bright black peripheral.
He bought the deluxe edition.
Compared to the entry-level version, the deluxe version has an additional special belt with embedded chips and sensors.
But that’s not the point…
The belt that comes with the deluxe version is at best just a side dish, the real main course is still the core five-piece set.
The so-called five-piece suit refers to left and right gloves, left and right leg straps, and a vest that can be worn on the body. Its shape is similar to the "reflective vest" that is put on when taking photos during the annual vehicle inspection.
These five pieces are the core configuration of the "Galaxy" suit, and the belt is just the icing on the cake.
"let me see……"
Zhao Yunlong took out the instruction manual and user manual and took a look at them, gaining a general understanding of the correct way to use the Galaxy Set.
The gloves, straps and belts use button batteries, which can be replaced directly when they run out of power.
As for the vest, there is an external USB cable nearly five meters long, which can be plugged into the computer/TV motherboard interface...
The usage logic is actually similar to that of a TV remote control, except that the operation is more precise and sensitive, and it can recognize the scale of the player's movements and then transmit the instructions to the game.
As a former IT engineer, Zhao Yunlong saw at a glance that the underlying logic of this thing is nothing more than converting WASD and other key operations into "gestures" or "actions" to execute.
Installing a camera can theoretically achieve a similar effect, but the camera can only recognize movements and cannot determine the "force".
"Use sensors + voice control to complete operations that could only be performed with a keyboard, mouse or controller before?"
After playing with it for a while, Zhao Yunlong couldn't wait to connect it to the computer and try it out in the room.
He started a normal match and chose the currently popular "Blood Demon Supreme" as the fighting character.
"Blood Demon Summons!"
"Blood Demon summons... huh? Why is there no response?!"
After entering the game, Zhao Yunlong, who was neatly dressed, shouted twice, but when he found that the game character had no response, he became a little panicked.
What's going on?
The peripherals are connected properly! He just tested it and it was all right, so why can't he use his skills now that he's in actual combat?
"Oh! I forgot..."
As if he had thought of something, Zhao Yunlong raised his right hand in annoyance and made a "waving" gesture.
In the game screen, the Blood Demon Supreme, who had been standing still, suddenly moved. He raised his right hand and summoned a group of blood crows to fly towards his opponent.
That’s right!
Zhao Yunlong just forgot that some skills can be released with voice alone, but some skills require basic gestures and cannot be released with voice alone.
Blood Demon Summoning is a skill that mainly relies on hand gestures and cannot be released by voice alone.
Why is this so? Because some skills have obvious "pre-swing" and "post-swing" casting movements. If they are released purely by voice without gesture judgment, then what is the point of buying the "Galaxy" suit?
It's better to just use a keyboard, mouse and controller. You don't want to move anyway, so why use this set of motion sensing peripherals? What skills can be cast purely by voice? The answer is some status skills, buff skills, and the most classic secret skills such as "Ultimate Sublimation", which can be released by voice.
certainly!
For skills like "Summon Blood Demon", although voice cannot be released alone, if you really want to shout a few words to show your strength, no one can stop you.
"Are you testing peripherals?"
After being hit by a skill, the opponent still did not move, because he could tell from Zhao Yunlong's strange operation method that he was testing the new "Galaxy" peripheral.
Black Dragon is also a Dragon: "Yes! I'm testing a new peripheral. Can you help me? I'm not familiar with many of the operations..."
"no problem!"
The other party agreed readily. After all, it was a match, not a ranking match, so no one would care about winning or losing. And he also wanted to know if the Galaxy suit was really as good as Brother Ba advertised. He did not buy the Galaxy suit, so he wanted to judge whether the suit was worth buying through the experience of Zhao Yunlong, a real buyer.
With the cooperation of his opponent, Zhao Yunlong began a series of tests.
This included the Blood Demon Supreme's skill release methods. He tried each skill once, and then experienced the so-called "force" sensing.
really!
The special effects and damage caused by heavy attacks and light attacks are completely on different levels.
For the same skill, taking Blood Demon Supreme's punch as an example, the heavy attack is released relatively slowly, but the special effects are gorgeous and the damage is explosive, requiring Zhao Yunlong to clench his fist tightly and then punch out suddenly.
Light punches are relatively fast, but the special effects are castrated, and the damage is much lower than heavy punches...
In keyboard and mouse operation, light and heavy taps are generally controlled by the left and right buttons of the mouse, so the feeling is not that strong.
But after using the Galaxy Set, the operational experience of light and heavy taps is completely different.
"Fighting is awesome!"
After throwing several powerful punches in succession, Zhao Yunlong finally felt that the Galaxy Suit brought him the greatest pleasure.
The sense of immersion is really strong, right? It's like when you play a shooting game and drag the mouse to aim, can the experience be as real as holding a "simulated gun" to aim? In addition, in this process, you can use voice from time to time to summon your own "imperial soldiers" or "ultimate sublimation" status skills, the experience is simply not to mention.
Outsiders would think it was a bit childish, like a lunatic from a mental hospital? But in Zhao Yunlong's eyes, this new fighting game experience alone was worth the money.
Not to mention, the Galaxy Peripheral Set is also equipped with sensors and vibration feedback devices.
In other words, even though you are punching the air, after your game character hits the target, the hand that punches can feel a slight vibration.
Now, there is also hit feedback!
Who dares to say that the impact of "Star Emperor" is not good and is a shame for fighting games? Isn't this impact better than a lot of fighting games? The test is almost done.
It’s not that Zhao Yunlong doesn’t want to continue testing, it’s mainly because his opponent’s health is already low, and if he gets hit by another punch from him he’ll be dead on the spot, so he can’t continue testing the hit feedback.
The next thing to do is to stand there and "take the beating", let the opponent attack him, and see how well he responds to the attack.
After typing to communicate with the opponent, the opponent quickly activated the status skill, sacrificed the imperial weapon to activate the special physique, and began to attack Zhao Yunlong who was defending with all his strength.
"Damn, it's okay!"
While being beaten, Zhao Yunlong felt the vibration of the vest, belt, leggings and other parts, as well as the "bang, bang" and other percussion sound effects, and was very satisfied.
That's enough! Based on his subjective experience, the sensitivity and low latency of the Galaxy Set are worth the price.
Not to mention, the experience of playing "Star Emperor 2" with the Galaxy Suit is really cool and exciting. There is an inexplicable sense of pleasure that comes from fantasy becoming reality and turning into the Supreme Emperor.
"Okay, thank you!"
After bidding farewell to this kind-hearted passerby, Zai Yunlong, who was roughly familiar with how to release each skill, decided to be bolder and go directly to the path of becoming an immortal to have a real fight.
After all, the simulation test is just a simulation, and forget about the matching. The pressure of the matching game is nothing compared to the road to immortality. If you want to test, test it in a high-pressure environment of actual combat! "Matching successful!"
Accompanied by a pop-up reminder, Zhao Yunlong successfully entered the Immortal Road game.
This is different from the previous matches, where everyone played more casually and entertainingly, without competing so hard, and the desire to operate was not so strong.
But what is the environment of the immortal road? Since the previous work "Star Emperor", the immortal road has been known for its cruelty and bloodiness. If you set foot on the immortal road without enough strength, you will either leave your graphics card behind or your life behind!
The road to becoming an immortal in "Star Emperor 2" is equally cruel and ruthless. After all, at this time, there are still a large number of players using very ordinary computer configurations, and not everyone has the money to purchase the top-level graphics card.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This means that the road to becoming an immortal is still very dangerous, especially for those players using mid-to-low-end graphics cards. If you dare to enter, you will die...
“It’s worthy of being called the Path to Immortality!”
While Zhao Yunlong was still preparing for the countdown, he saw his opponent summon out the imperial weapon, activated his special physique, and even started the ultimate sublimation, with a circle of hazy golden smoke lingering around his body.
I can only say, it's awesome, brother! The risk of fighting for immortality is indeed not low. As soon as they meet, they start to greet each other with the ultimate sublimation. How can ordinary people bear this? Let's say, the countdown for preparation has not even ended, and now the ultimate sublimation has been turned on. Brother, you really don't need to be so nervous and desperate, right?
“That’s too much of a compliment to me!”
Zhao Yunlong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the environment of the second generation's path to immortality would be no worse than the first generation, and still so horrifying and bloody.
Forget it. The opponent has already started using the Ultimate Sublime Technique. It would be ungraceful for him not to follow suit. Besides, if he doesn't use the Ultimate Sublime Technique, he will probably be beaten to death by the opponent in just two punches.
To be on the safe side, let’s open it!
Anyway, his opponent opened the game first and he opened it later, so he didn't lose anyway.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The two people on the road to becoming immortals, took the initiative to sublime their strength, fought till the sky was dark and even the avenue was about to be wiped out.
At this moment, Zhao Yunlong heard the dull sound of the fan coming from the computer case, and he suddenly realized that the two of them had fought for nearly fifty moves without realizing it.
As we all know!
Since the launch of Extreme Sublimation, there are rarely any natural endings. Either the opponent is killed or the opponent's video memory is exhausted to win the game.
The problems of the first generation of "Star Emperor" have been improved a little in the second generation, but they still exist.
That is, the longer the game lasts, the player may be able to hold on and maintain a good health volume, but the computer may not be able to hold on.
But now, it is evenly matched between the two after their extreme sublimation. The hit rate of key skills is not high, and the winner has not been determined after fifty moves. Zhao Yunlong's computer can no longer take it.
I can only fight hard! The other side didn't know what was going on, and was not in a hurry at this moment. Anyway, Zhao Yunlong was anxious.
He didn't dare to bet on whether his game would crash first or his opponent's. He had prepared for the worst. If he wanted to win, he had to fight hard...
But the opponent was very cunning. He seemed to have discovered that Zhao Yunlong was very anxious and put enough pressure on him in the attack. So he changed his offensive strategy, concentrated on defense and showed off his positioning.
"It's over!"
The person opposite him was a junior master. Zhao Yunlong realized this and sighed when he heard the buzzing sound of the computer case becoming more and more shrill.
If nothing unexpected happens, this game is over!
The opponent activated the Ultimate Sublimation first, and he activated it later, which was originally a huge advantage. However, he underestimated the strength of the immortal path in "Star Emperor 2".
I thought that with his computer configuration, he would be able to play well in ranked matches and it should be easy for him to become an immortal.
I never expected that the road to becoming an immortal would be so cruel and bloody. After fifty moves, I still couldn't hold on any longer...
The buzzing sound was getting louder and louder! Not long after, just as Zhao Yunlong threw a punch, a window popped up on the 32-inch computer screen.
[No response from "Star Emperor 2"]
Send! The game crashed and quit.
This was not surprising at all, after all, there had been a sign just now. And Zhao Yunlong did not think it was strange that "Star Emperor" crashed.
joke!
Who hasn't experienced crashes while playing this game?
Even if one is the supreme Immortal Emperor on the road to becoming an immortal, if he fights with a strong man of the same level for too long, he will have to retreat.
Even in a professional league like the GAL League, there was a hilarious scene during a match where a Sony team player was beaten by the opponent and the game crashed, and then called the referee for an emergency timeout.
Oh yeah, after pausing and reconnecting, this player still lost...
When professional players encounter game crashes, they can pause the game and wait to reconnect. If that doesn’t work, they can even go back in time, but ordinary players can’t do that.
Generally, when encountering crashes, everyone will assume that their computer configuration is not as good as their opponent's, and they can only blame themselves for not holding on long enough and not allowing their opponent to exert their full strength, so they are willing to admit defeat.
Reconnect?
Don't be ridiculous. With Tianba Studio's potato server, no one will help you call for a pause. By the time you reconnect to the game, the game will have already ended.
This time is no exception... huh?
When Zhao Yunlong reluctantly reentered the game and calmly accepted his defeat, he was shocked to find that his vest was vibrating. Moreover, the vibration was intermittent, not continuous. This was the same as the feedback from being hit by a few punches from the opponent in a normal game.
But……
Wasn't the match just over? How could he still be hit? Just as Zhao Yunlong was puzzled and wondering if there was something wrong with the Galaxy Suit, the gloves also responded by being hit.
The thing I just bought is broken as soon as I get it? Zhao Yunlong was so angry that he kicked the box hard, thinking that he was really wronged for spending hundreds of yuan to buy this broken thing.
I was really fooled...eh?
Wait a minute! When he kicked the box just now, the straps on his calves actually had a hit feedback and vibration?
