As for the changes to the VR mode, it was much bigger.
The mode of operation did not matter since it was controlled with one's consciousness. The key was the graphics.
One of the highlights of the original Escape was the movie-quality storyboards and two-player split-screen controls. If it were to be made into a VR mode, the storyboards would be fine, but split-screen would be difficult.
If it were to be split-screen in VR mode, the players would probably suffer from schizophrenia. Staring at the left or right side for a long time would be extremely uncomfortable. After all, PC and Switch's graphics were flat, while VR had a full field of view. It was impossible to mechanically copy it.
However, the VR mode definitely had to be made. High-quality art supported VR, and the story mode itself was very suitable. Therefore, the VR mode would have a different graphics presentation from Switch.
The most important thing about the VR mode was the sense of immersion. Therefore, other than a few games with special requirements (such as US Apocalypse), first-person was the best choice. Escape's VR mode would also use a first-person perspective, which was to try to recreate the entire story in the most realistic way possible.
In the VR mode, the use of the camera was similar to the original. The camera angles that were not suitable were changed to a first-person perspective. Some of the more classic scenes, such as the "horizontal combat" in the hospital, were used from a special perspective. Compared to other VR games, the use of the VR version of Escape was also more similar to the feeling of a movie.
In addition, after Leo and Vincent got to know each other, as long as the players tried to find the other player's location, a simple sign would appear in their field of view. That way, even in chaotic scenes, the players would know the general location of their friend and what they were doing.
As for the more fancy methods in VR mode, such as split-screen, placing a small screen on the top right of the field of view, and so on, anything that inserted other scenes into the first-person perspective would seriously affect the first-person gaming experience. Therefore, it could not be done.
They could only make better use of camera adjustments and simple hints to improve the player's experience.
Of course, this would inevitably cause the experience of the VR mode and Switch mode to be different. In comparison, Switch mode placed more emphasis on the game's own storyboards and camera use. Players could see the entire scene of the other player. VR mode, on the other hand, placed more emphasis on immersion and realism. The graphics were better, and the field of view was completely unrestricted. However, the highlights of the storyboards were gone.
Both modes had their own advantages, and it was impossible to have both. This was also the reason why the VR version was priced lower.
As for which mode the players preferred, it was up to them to choose. If they were rich, they could just buy a copy of the VR version and invite their friends over to try both versions.
…
…
On the day of its release, it only took a few hours for Escape to appear on the list of best-selling games in the headquarters' experience area.
Many players had already discussed with their companions who would buy and which version to buy.
On Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform …
Looking at the bullet screen full of comments, Old P sighed helplessly.
"'Escape?' You guys want to see it so badly? But no one wants to play with me. "
"You all want to play with me? … Don't tell me I have to go to Weibo to draw a prize? Sigh, forget it. Since you guys want to watch it so much, I'll find someone to play with. "
"I heard that this game has shooting elements? Aiya, aren't you guys joking? With my skills, isn't playing this kind of shooting game a piece of cake? Do whatever you want! "
"Okay, okay, then let me see who's among my friends."
Old P was a little speechless. He was not particularly interested in this kind of plot-oriented game, but he could not resist the repeated requests of the audience. He could only silently download the game in the VR gaming pod while thinking about who to play with.
What he did not expect was that the audience actually strongly requested to watch the Switch version.
Old P thought for a moment. "I'm not familiar with the Switch version, let me check … Oh, this game can be played with the gaming pod and then output two different graphics signals. How about this, I'll play with someone else, then I output the graphics signal of the Switch version, and he output the graphics signal of the gaming pod. This way, you guys can play whichever version you want, okay?"
"Hmm … Who should I find to play with?"
The audience had already begun to call out names.
"Lin Xue!"
"No, no, no, this game needs to be played with two guys to have a sense of immersion, and it's more interesting. Let's find Chubby Smash! "
"Chubby Smash's shooting skills are terrible, he only knows how to shout 666, won't he be a burden to Old P?"
"This is a two-player cooperative game, not an FPS game! What you're worrying about is a little ridiculous! "
The players all recommended their favorite streamers, wanting to see them play with Old P.
Old P struggled for a few minutes and said, "Alright, you guys stop spamming the screen, I've thought of a candidate, you guys will definitely be satisfied."
Old P found Qin An on the friends page. "Come, buy Escape and Escape, let's play together!"
The bullet screen instantly exploded.
"What the f * ck, Master Qin?!"
"Master Qin doesn't play games other than PUBG, can we call him over?"
"No way, after all, Master Qin is a Buddhist streamer, every time the bullet screen spams to ask him to play other games, he'll pretend not to see it 2333."
"Others definitely can't be called, but if Old P does it, there's still hope. After all, the two of them are good friends."
"Hey, I suddenly want to see Master Qin play other games!"
"But … in this case, Old P will be a burden to Master Qin, 23333."
"Nonsense, it's obviously lowering the difficulty of the game, the two of them hugging each other's legs, taking turns to carry …"
The players were still a little excited. Although Old P and Qin An were the two pillars of the Fish-Catching PlayerUnknown's Battleground, it was really rare to see Qin An play other games.
Old P would basically play new games at the request of the audience at night, and he usually interacted more with the bullet screen, but Qin An's style was more Buddhist. Other than ensuring the length of the live broadcast, he was more casual, and he was not very interested in other games. His favorite was to go to the Battleground and play with artificial intelligence to embarrass himself.
If he could really see Old P and Qin An playing "Escape" together today, it would be quite fun, right?
Five minutes later.
Old P said, "Okay, it's done! Qin An agreed. Wait a moment, he just went to download the game, I'll take this opportunity to buy the game. "
After Old P finished speaking, the bullet screen was all excited.
"F * ck, he really agreed! Old P's face is really big! "
"Goodbye, I went to watch Qin An's live broadcast 23333."
