Chapter 1148: Give the player an AI assistant

There is no doubt about one thing, and that is that Halo is definitely a masterpiece of the FPS series.

Especially for players who like single-player storytelling, Halo is definitely a must-play game for them.

Although in Halo, players will also be able to choose to experience the game as a team, rather than controlling the Master Chief alone.

But in essence, the plot performance of "Halo" is still dominated by single players.

However, when it comes to FPS games, it pays more attention to the networking, which actually has something to do with Yang Chen.

In the early years, FPS games, both domestic and foreign, basically focused on two different aspects.

One is a multiplayer experience, and the other is a single-player story.

But with Nebula Games' "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", which transferred the story of FPS to modern times, the thrill of instant popularity, as well as the fast-paced street battles of multiplayer mode, seemed to open a skylight for manufacturers.

Especially in the back, Nebula Games' "Battlefield", the single-player story plot is actually quite rich, but the multiplayer mode is more abundant.

As for the real war between "Borderlands" and the acquisition of UEgame, and then "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", it is obvious that it will focus on multiplayer mode.

Similarly, the good benefits achieved by these games in multiplayer mode have also made major manufacturers pay more and more attention to FPS multiplayer mode.

Its single-player mode is still there, but it's more like a tutorial level and an addition.

After all, today's Nebula games can be said to be a direction marker of the industry to a certain extent.

And even game practitioners who don't like Nebula Games, and players, are also not allowed to recognize the name of Nebula Games.

But the birth of this "Halo" is an instant change from the previous Nebula game's emphasis on multiplayer FPS.

That's not to say that Halo's multiplayer mode isn't great.

In fact, in Halo, the multiplayer mode is quite interesting.

Among them, the direction point that is biased towards strategy, as well as a mod tool specially made by Nebula Games in Halo.

It can even allow many players to complete "Minecraft" with "Halo", directly intercept the modeling materials in the aura, and then use MOD tools to build a new map by themselves.

And the maps they make are not regular battle maps, some are drawn, some are made of music, and some are even mazes.

This is completely contrary to what Yang Chen and the Nebula Games team initially thought.

However, Yang Chen and his team had no intention of coming forward.

Players just have fun playing.

Although it is different from what they think, you should know that many interesting ideas often come from accidents.

For example, isn't the birth of "GTA" in the dream memory from an accident?

And the multiplayer part of Halo, although interesting.

But under the huge world view and the epic and legendary plot, it seems to be a little tarnished.

Also in the media, "Halo" has also become a well-deserved masterpiece.

And when the media fermented, this FPS game has also become the object of research by many FPS manufacturers, especially the thrilling 30-second rhythm design inside.

However, these things are obviously not so important to Yang Chen.

As for the story of the follow-up Requiem Star of "Halo", Yang Chen is not ready to develop it now.

The Covenant's war with humanity is over, the aura has been destroyed, and the threat of the Flood has collapsed.

The Master Chief who had returned to the freezer was almost time for him to rest.

As he said, wait until you need to wake him up.

………………

………………

At the same time as the launch of "Halo", some related activities are also underway.

Needless to say, the Nebula game discount that players talk about for is commonplace.

In addition to the four seasons of Spring Festival, Christmas, spring, summer, autumn and winter, these special discount seasons usually have discounts on some special small festivals and days.

For example, if a game version of Nebula Games undergoes a relatively large update, or a new game is launched, there will basically be some discounts.

Of course, at the same time as the discount, Nebulas Games still has to give away some games for free.

And the names of these games can be guessed by players with their eyes closed.

"Mr. Yang, don't give away games like "Silent Hill" and "Escape", players really don't want to play them." Looking at Yang Chen, who was sitting in the office and adding an opinion to the approval activity at the same time, Lin Jiayi, who was sitting next to him, held his forehead and said.

"It's a matter of time whether players play or not, and we have to make them feel our enthusiasm." Yang Chen said as it should be.

"But have you seen any news lately?" Yang Chen immediately thought of something and walked towards Lin Jia.

"The dispute between the domestic AI research institute and the foreign Noah Research Institute on the topic of AI technology?" Obviously, it was very clear what Yang Chen was talking about, Lin Jia.

"Don't you think it's interesting? One of the topics is whether AI is better than players. Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Unless it's real artificial intelligence, it's hard to say that the same reaction and computing situation is not good, and the previous "League of Legends" and "Warcraft" and "DOTA" didn't all have AI against professional players, but they are all professional players, and even ordinary passers-by can hang up and fight." Lin Jiayi is undeniable.

"This is also a kind of limitation, and in Go and aerial fighting competitions, the performance of the AI is indeed better, which is amazing." Yang Chen added.

"Mr. Yang, do you have an idea? Are we going to do AI? Lin Jiayi looked at Yang Chen with some strangeness.

"That's not true, but we also have investment and sponsorship with domestic AI research institutes, and don't you think it will be interesting to use such AI in games?" Yang Chen touched his chin and said.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Lin Jiayi's eyes widened.

What are you thinking?

Using this kind of AI in the game?

"Mr. Yang, think twice before you act! Please spare the players! ”

In fact, the AI of most games can still be reduced, otherwise it can make them smarter and more powerful.

This refers not only to reactions, but to the analysis of data, and of course to the resources of the game.

For example, in World of Warcraft, think about your next dungeon, and the warrior yells at the boss, 'Hey, grandson!' Taunt it.

But the boss was unmoved, and rushed directly to the front of the milk.

In "Dark Souls", you came to the fire sacrificial ground with a big shield in your hand, and in the face of the knife brother on the path, you confidently raised your shield.

Then the opponent takes a small deft step, and then rolls behind you, kicking you off the cliff with one kick.

These contents can actually be produced in the game.

But players still can't play?

Seeing Lin Jiayi's reaction, Yang Chen knew what the other party was thinking, and explained at the moment: "It will definitely not be the enemy of the player, after all, most of the players' skills are similar to ours." ”

"In the game, give players an AI assistant that understands them better, a caring little helper."

"Like the son of the god of war?" Lin Jia instantly thought of Atreus, who was ridiculed by players as the real god of war in "God of War".

"A character controlled by AI and uncontrolled by the player." Yang Chen thought about something, shook his head with a smile and explained.
