Chapter 978: A Different RTS Ga

The download speed of the official platform was very stable and download progress was steadily increasing, but it still required so ti.

Qiao Liang took a can of Coca Cola from the fridge and sat in front of his computer, thinking about playing sothing to pass the ti. However, he could not help but check the progress bar for updates every once in a while.

“I feel like I’m dreaming about ten years ago...”

Qiao Liang still rembered that his family had spent a huge sum of money to buy a computer when he was in primary school. The screen was very small and the CPU was very big. There was also a small water pipe speed of less than 100K on the internet. Even looking at the webpage and adding pictures was very slow. What’s more, it was limited in traffic and ti. If he did not pay attention, the ti would be over.

At that ti, Qiao Liang had to calculate carefully every ti he went online. Once he searched for strategies online, he would jot them down in his notebook. Then, he would play standalone gas that he could not pass.

Later on, his speed increased a little with the broadband. Qiao Liang began to download gas online. At that ti, he could download gas with a speed of a few hundred kilobytes. Sotis, he had to download more than ten gigabytes. At tis, he had to download a few or even dozens of hours.

Qiao Liang’s mood at that ti was exactly the sa as it was now. Every now and then, he would check the download progress.

Once the ga was downloaded, he would install it excitedly. Then, he would enter the ga and see the beautiful CG... That would be the most beautiful mont.

At that ti, Qiao Liang had to fight with his parents if he wanted to play computer gas. He was always on tenterhooks, afraid that he would be scolded if he was caught.

However, he played too many different gas after he beca independent and beca a UP Master. No one cared about him playing gas anymore. Instead, he no longer felt excited.

He would often forget to play the ga after buying it, or would never pick it up again after playing it.

It had been a long ti since he had experienced the feeling of joy after downloading a ga.

However, for so reason, he suddenly had this feeling again!

At this ti, it was very similar to the nervous and expectant feeling when he had secretly climbed up in the middle of the night to play on the computer in his study room without being discovered by his parents.

Mission and Choice had finally been updated with Qiao Liang’s eager mood!

However, Qiao Liang noticed that even though the update had been completed, it was still downloading at the back end.

That was because the current tens of gigabytes of content were the basic content of the ga, including the ga itself and the two or three plot images at the beginning.

In order to ensure the best viewing effect and the quality of all the images could not reach the level of movie theaters, but they were basically of super high-grade blue ray quality.

However, this also ant that the film took up a lot of space. It was almost the sa as the ga itself.

The production team deliberately separated the two downloads in order not to let players download too much content in one go. Players could start the ga early by downloading the later videos at the back end.

During the ga, the video of the plot would be downloaded.

There were no changes to the ‘Mission and Choice’ icon after the update. There were no changes to the ga’s details page either. It was still the original advertisent with a sense of age, like a breeze, and a few very awkward slogans.

Qiao Liang even suspected that if so players had started an automatic update, they would not have realized that Mission and Choice had such a huge update if they did not look closely.

However, this made Qiao Liang look forward to the ga even more!

Qiao Liang cald himself down and entered the ga.

The originally trashy ‘Mission and Choice’ did not have any opening CG. After entering the ga, it was a very rough title image. There were only a few simple options like starting the ga, loading the ga, setting, and so on.

On the other hand, after entering the first chapter of the ga, they had only placed a picture that could be called a PowerPoint. He used a few lines of words to briefly introduce the background story before entering the ga.

This attitude was very perfunctory and ridiculous even in that era. The gas in the sa period were all mosaic style, there would still be many CGs in the title and film after all.

In fact, gas like Fantasy Battle were already very good at CG back then. At that ti, it looked very amazing and even surpassed new gas that were released several years later.

However, the updated Mission and Choice had beco completely different!

After the black screen and a few logos, a pair of tightly shut eyes appeared on the screen.

The pair of eyes were tightly shut, but one could tell that the eyeballs were moving rapidly. His brows were slightly furrowed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he was experiencing a terrifying nightmare.

Qiao Liang was stunned.

“Isn’t this CG level too high?”

“He’s no different from a real person!”

Qiao Liang had seen so AAA gas with huge investnts in CG. The pores on their faces could be seen clearly.

However, he had never seen anyone who knew this much!

The next second, the cara zood in and Qiao Liang saw the man’s face.

“...Isn’t that Lu Zhiyao!”

“This isn’t making it realistic? This is real! This is not CG, this is a movie!”

Lu Zhiyao flipped over and sat up in the hibernation capsule which opened automatically on the screen. Qiao Liang instantly understood. No wonder it was so realistic. This was not CG!

“In other words... Boss Pei put the movie in the ga?”

“Doesn’t that an that I bought the ga and got the movie for free?”

“Or is buying the tickets to the movie equivalent to buying a free ga?”

“Er... that doesn’t seem right.”

“That doesn’t matter. However, if we mix the movie with the ga, there would be a problem with the plot, right?”

Qiao Liang had played many gas before after all. He was instinctively a little worried when he saw how the ga and movie were combined.

In fact, there were indeed so companies overseas that had used live-action filming to create ga CGs, but that had been around for so years.

What’s more, most gas companies did not use this thod after that. Since it did not beco mainstream, it ant that there was a problem with this thod.

For example, the plot of the ga was divided. The plot of each chapter might be divided into more than ten parts. They were not closely connected. They would choose the most exciting parts of the plot to make CG.

As for the middle part, it could be filled with ga content.

However, the plot of the movie had to be coherent. It would naturally conflict with the ga plot.

“Perhaps they intercepted a part of the movie’s plot?”

“However, this is quite a waste. I keep feeling that it might be difficult to deal with the details.”

“It would be acceptable if it was an ordinary gaming company that was not particular about the details. However, Tengda has always been a perfectionist. Boss Pei would not allow such a small flaw to exist.”

“Or is there a better solution?”

The plot was very exciting and Qiao Liang did not have much ti to think about such nonsense. These thoughts only flashed through his mind for a mont before being temporarily sealed.

The high-definition E-Sports display and ga earphones might not be the most perfect viewing experience, but they were definitely not bad.

Qiao Liang was quickly attracted by the plot of the ga.

CGs in other gas were basically ant to be used as adjustnts. The reason why they were limited by funds would not be long. It was mainly to let players enter the state of mind as soon as possible.

However, the plot of Mission and Choice was obviously very long. It was not a short segnt of the plot, but a complete story.

After Qin Yi accepted the position of commander, AEEIS introduced the various functions of the control panel to him, including the observation ball, touch screen, the surrounding holographic images, and so on.

After Qin Yi officially started the operations, Qiao Liang’s computer screen switched to the ga screen seamlessly.

Qiao Liang realized that he had naturally taken over Qin Yi’s role without the title of the ga, the plot chapters and story outline.

AEEIS’s voice continued, but this ti it was directed to the players.

AEEIS did not directly use words such as “mouse”, “keyboard”, “controller”. Instead, it vaguely said “turning perspective”, “choosing troops”, and so on. This was to prevent players from acting.

Instead, a simple icon appeared on the screen. For example, when a mouse was needed to choose a unit, a simple mouse shape and arrow would appear on the screen, which was outlined by white lines. It would hint players to do the relevant operations.

The entire UI was almost identical to the UI in the movie. The freedom of view was also very high. The entire scene would seem bigger after closing in even though it was completely incomparable to the holographic image in the movie, compared to other gas that locked on to the God’s perspective.

The plot of the first stage was very simple. It only guided players to get used to controlling the ga’s perspective and watch the simulation of the Alliance Fleet’s defeat after encountering the Zergs.

After the ga ended, it switched to the movie seamlessly.

The scene that was originally controlled by players beca a movie scene. It displayed the content in a grander way.

However, they were freer to act in the ga. What’s more, they took much longer than the movie. Thus, they did not feel that the plot was repetitive. Instead, it strengthened the impression that the plot had in players’ hearts.

What followed was the second plot and actual combat, the third plot and actual combat...

Qiao Liang realized that Mission and Choice seed to be different from other gas.

In other gas, it was mainly based on the ga’s content. Plot CGs were inserted into the ga’s content and played an embellishing role.

On the other hand, ‘Mission and Choice’ was actually a story plot movie that connected the beginning and the end, connecting the entire story. Instead, the ga’s content was interwoven into embellishnts.

The difference between these two thods was that the forr gave people a very strong sense of closure. Every chapter and checkpoint was actually more separated, and the connection was not very natural.

So of the new stages of the ga had to be loaded and read bars. That was even more unfriendly to players.

However, ‘Mission and Choice’ made people completely unable to feel the gap between the chapters.

This was similar to how many plots were used to create AAA gas.

Traditional thods were to read bars during the transformation of the scene. However, these plots would be directed to AAA gas to make the players’ experience more coherent. They would do so special treatnt during the transformation, such as the collapse of the tunnel, the protagonist crawling in a narrow cave, and so on. At this stage, if they read the contents of the scene at the sa ti, there would never be a reading screen.

On the other hand, Mission and Choice had obviously done the sa. Plot films were being played between the two stages. The next stage had been completed while gars were watching the movie.

The connection between the film part and the ga part was perfect through the ingenious arrangent of the plot. It did not give players any abrupt and unnatural feeling.

He might not have co into contact with the real combat part, but the gaming experience at the beginning made Qiao Liang feel that this new ‘Mission and Choice’ was definitely completely different from all the RTS gas before!
