Infinite Mask Game

Wei Ming: "However, every time when technology breaks through the bottleneck, it looks like a miracle."

Wei Miao admitted: "Of course. But this time, will it seem like a miracle for granted... Maybe not necessarily."

"I am also a player of the Masquerade." Wei Ming said in a surprising way.

"Ah?!" Wei Miao was rarely surprised by her cousin, "Don't you rarely play virtual games?"

Wei Ming is a loyal stand-alone game player and only buys one or two stand-alone games a year. His performance in the physical movements required for virtual games is mediocre and he is not very interested in it.

"There was a lot of hype on the Internet, and it was a new type of virtual helmet. I had some free time at that time, so I bought one to learn about the most cutting-edge virtual games."

Wei Ming: "The quality is indeed amazing, but I think it is still possible to generate random copies through powerful AI technology..."

Wei Ming told some of his technical speculations on various aspects. After listening, Wei Miao only asked one sentence: "Where are you now?"

"I played it twice and then stopped playing it. I feel like the game is not suitable for me." Wei Ming confessed, "The overly realistic scenes make people almost forget that it is a virtual world, and the atmosphere between players is uncomfortable, like... Treat every win or loss as a real battle, by any means necessary, regardless of morality. I'm not saying that you shouldn't strive for victory, but players take victory too seriously in the game. In the end, the game is essentially just data for people's entertainment. ."

"In the second game of qualifying, three players from the same camp I met directly killed the game targets in order to win, but they could have done it through 'persuasion'. After I stopped them, I was actually beaten by them in the subsequent confrontation. They sold, and even though they won in the end, I still felt... they were terrible players."

"After the curtain call, they were able to talk and laugh with me. They told me not to mind. Everything was a means to win the game. In the end, they helped me win."

“I feel that the game lacks the necessary restraints on players’ behavior, resulting in an increasingly obsessive competitive atmosphere.”

Wei Ming's tone was not good.He is a consistent Buddhist player.

As a game anchor and competitive player, Wei Miao is used to seeing the kind of people he mentioned.

Weiming describes games as nothing more than data for entertainment, but in fact his actions unconsciously violate this.He places his emotions and values ​​in the overly real virtual game. On the contrary, the players he talks about are closer to the essence of the game.

In a traditional single-player game, no player would waver just to kill an NPC.They killed hundreds of enemies, and everyone knew that was reproducible data.

However, the selling point of virtual games is reality. Therefore, virtual games in the past were very cautious between real and fake. Manufacturers need to control a certain degree so that people can have a sense of immersion and distinguish between virtual and real people.

The masquerade is so real that it makes people doubt the fakeness of the game, weakening the player's perception of virtuality. Therefore, Wei Ming's idea is completely reasonable.

He is very representative among Buddhist players.

But he only scratched the surface of the game.At the carnival party, every player vaguely revealed their seriousness behind the game.

Even so, among high-level players, there are still differences on how to treat the dungeon world, and each has its own position and perspective.This controversy has continued since the birth of Masquerade. It is foreseeable that this will be an insurmountable conflict between players.

"Maybe it's because the target audience of this game is people who enjoy chaos." For Wei Ming, a complete materialist, Wei Miao knew that even if she told him completely frankly, it would be difficult to shake his perception, so she followed his words.

"But I think you should give it a try. Maybe you can really dig out their skills, and when you get stronger, you can control those fun people." Wei Miao never mentioned his own gaming style, teasing and advising like an outsider.

Wei Ming: "Okay, I'll try my best." "Remember to read the "Basic Game Manual"."

"I've seen it."

"Oh? What is 'multidimensional power determination'?"

"..."

Wei Ming was silent.

Seeing this, Wei Miao roughly guessed which part he was looking at. It was nothing more than the basic settings of the three major aspects. He understood the development components of the game and did not study the complex judgment mechanism in depth.

He hesitated for a while and said: "So, what is multi-dimensional power determination?"

"To put it simply, all aspects related to strength may be judged once, and which aspects are determined based on skill requirements. Generally, only when the all-round judgment is passed, the judgment is deemed to be passed. A little more bizarre, for example, checking the muscle density of the character . Corresponding to this is direct attribute determination, which determines whether the value of the strength attribute meets the standard."

Wei Ming admired him: "It seems that you are still a professional... You should belong to the top group of players, right?"

Wei Miao said in a sincere tone: "Don't worry, there are many players who are better than me."

Wei Ming knew her game level as well as the masquerade, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After half an hour of driving, they finally arrived at Wei Jin's apartment.Along the way, Wei Ming and Wei Miao exchanged some views on current games and anecdotes they heard in their daily lives.

Wei Miao followed Wei Jin into the apartment, threw her backpack into the guest room and quickly went downstairs.

They will go to the food court for lunch via the well-connected subway.

On the subway, Wei Miao looked at her phone, while Wei Jin and Wei Ming put on AR glasses.

In daily life, smartphones have not been completely eliminated by AR devices because of their high reliability, complete application system, portability and low cost.

Peng Gein's AR eyes look just like fashionable sunglasses. The breakthrough in hardware makes it thin and compact, but it can independently integrate applications equivalent to smartphones. It not only magnifies the screen of mobile phones and computers, but can also be used as a separate smart phone. When using the device, you can control it with gestures through the matching sensor ring. However, if you are in a silent public place, the convenience of inputting text is not as convenient as that of a mobile phone.

If they are people with one-way intrusive brain-computer interfaces, they can use higher-end AR to issue various instructions through their thoughts.They are the perfect group for AR.

But not just the federal government, but the entire world is wary of invasive brain-computer interfaces.Although it can truly connect people and everything, potential security risks cannot be ignored.

Even if someone is willing to try, most of them use one-way invasive brain-computer interfaces, which only realize one-way information transmission from brain decoding to peripheral control, rather than two-way brain-computer interfaces, which can transmit signals to the brain through electrical stimulation, and then With the help of repeaters, users can even completely abandon peripherals to obtain external information with quality equivalent to AR glasses.

Of course, Wei Miao chose the latter between quality of life and safety.

The gaming circle has been quite busy recently, and the real-life part is interspersed with some time-sensitive news to "keep up with current events", so there are continuous updates (limited time edition).
