Chapter 598 Switch Version
Unsurprisingly, the prequel of "Dark Souls" set off a torment among the players. After all, this game is very topical and the live broadcast effect is also very explosive.
From all aspects, the prequel of "Dark Souls" continues the success of "Dark Souls". Even under such a perverted difficulty, the sales of the prequels in the few days before the release were higher than the previous work!
What surprised players even more was that the Sith version of "Dark Souls" actually sold very well, and even the sales of the console increased.
In the student dormitory of the First University of the World.
Several boys with professional game design are watching a boy play "Dark Souls" on Sith.
Basically, players who buy Sith will choose to buy "Dark Souls". After all, "Dark Souls" is the best-selling and highest-quality game since its release. The price is very affordable. There is no reason not to buy it.
Many people have even heard that this game is very abusive, but they still choose to buy it and play it. Anyway, if you are abused, you will get the refund.
Not only because "Dark Souls" has a very high evaluation, but also because it is the first game made with the Pangu system. Even if it was ported from the VR platform to the Sith platform, it is much better than other games in terms of expressivity.
Several boys were watching and discussing behind, with a look of eagerness on their faces.
"I really don't say it, I feel that this picture is pretty good. Although it is far from VR, the picture is very clear! And the physics engine is also good, and the quality is much higher than that of many PC games!"
"Of course, the VR game has been modified! Even if some content is simplified, the kernel is still there."
"And I feel that the operation mode is also very good. The entire combat system of "Dark Souls" can be reproduced!"
"Yes, I've played it in the VR game cabin at home before, and there is not much difference between the game content and the handheld console. The biggest difference may be the relatively minor things such as immersion and operation mode."
"Wow, I feel it's still difficult to transplant this game to the handheld console. The difficulty has not been reduced at all! Why am I dead again?"
"Are you okay? Cookie, if you don't, please change people quickly!"
"Hey, don't mention it, these two rockers are not very convenient to use, not as comfortable as in the VR game cabin."
"Haha, you can't use it, so let me do it! This operation mode has been used to playing Super Mario Odyssey. In fact, playing this kind of game with handheld console is easier than VR, and it is not that tiring."
"Don't say it, I feel the picture is very effective. I'm just thinking about buying a TV!"
"Isn't it good to play with the handheld console? Besides... I bought a TV, just our dormitory, where to put it..."
"How big is the TV screen! The resolutions on TV and handheld consoles are different. Besides, TV is actually not expensive, it can be handled for more than a thousand yuan. Then put it in the dormitory and play "Dark Souls" with this... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this painting is beautiful!"
"What I said makes sense... But the living expenses for this semester have already called the police! It's almost all spent on the game... Let's wait, and then two months..."
Several students in this dormitory all heard Chen Mo’s lectures and were also the first to buy Sith.
At that time, it was the handheld console that the four of them raised funds to buy. Now "Dark Souls" and "Dark Souls" prequels are on Sith together. Although they can't play the VR version, they can still enjoy it on Sith.
However, some players who are new to Sith operation mode are still not suitable for this unique operation method.
In the final analysis, there is no such thing as a host in this world, and these players are not familiar with the operating mode of the controller.
Their most familiar operating modes are the operating modes of mobile phones, PCs and VR, either touch screens, keyboards and mice, or ideas.
Just like many PC players feel very uncomfortable when they first touch the handle, and they are all kinds of awkward. It takes a while to experience the comfort of the handle operation.
On the one hand, there is the key position. Many people find it inconvenient when pressing the l and r keys above, especially thinking that the main attack keys are not used to it.
On the other hand, I am not used to controlling the characters' actions and perspective through the joystick, especially when using the right joystick to control the perspective, many players are busy as soon as they fight.
However, players who have been familiar with this game through "Super Mario Odyssey" have no rejection of this operation mode at all, but find it very convenient.
Some people even think that playing like this is more comfortable than playing with the VR game cabin.
On the one hand, the sense of immersion is weak, and the horrible atmosphere in the game is not so scary, and there is more room for calm thinking and operation, and there is no risk of heart attack at any time.
On the other hand, Sith's operating mode is a very mature operating mode, so it can perfectly reproduce the entire combat system of "Dark Souls".
Of course, there are still differences between these two versions. For example, in the VR version, players can choose the specific part of the backstab monster by themselves. The damage and results caused are also different depending on the attacked part.
Backstabs at certain fixed positions will cause execution effects, while some backstabs will only be equivalent to a normal attack with higher damage. These are all determined by the calculation results of the Pangu system physics engine.
The Sith version is closer to Chen Mo's previous life's original work, "Dark Souls", with only two results: triggering and not triggering. As long as it is triggered, a value is calculated based on the weapon, which is equivalent to a simplified version.
However, even after simplification, "Dark Souls" on Sith platform is still a very fun game.
Many people were surprised to find that this small handheld machine can really realize so many complex functions, even a perfect combat system like "Dark Soul" can be perfectly reproduced!
There seem to be few buttons on the entire handheld controller, but they have their own rules and are arranged in a very reasonable way.
Little did they know that this controller design was the best layout that was established after Chen Mo's previous life after many years of development in the console industry. It includes the design of left and right joysticks and several function keys, which can perfectly adapt to the operating requirements of most games.
This is a very convenient and highly concentrated operation mode.
In Chen Mo's previous life, for some senior console players, this kind of controller design is already a perfect design, and many manufacturers can't innovate even if they want to innovate, because this design model has no room for further improvement.
But for people in this world, the design of this handle is still very fresh because they have never seen it before.
The release of the Sith version of "Dark Souls" is a win-win situation. For "Dark Souls", it further expands the player group to those players without VR game pods; for Sith, it also uses the fame of "Dark Souls" to increase its sales.
