“Unsurprisingly, the prequel of Dark Souls had set off a wave of masochists among the players. After all, the game was a hot topic and the live stream effect was explosive. ”
“From all aspects, the prequel of Dark Souls had continued the success of Dark Souls. Even with such a ridiculous difficulty, the sales of the prequels were higher than the prequels in the first few days! ”
“To the players ‘surprise, the Switch version of Dark Souls was selling very well, and even the sales of the console had increased. ”
In the dormitory of world No. 1 University.
A few boys from the game design major were watching a boy play Dark Souls on the Switch.
“Basically, players who bought the Switch would choose to buy Dark Souls. After all, Dark Souls was the best-selling and highest-quality rpg game since the Switch was released. The price was also very affordable, so there was no reason not to buy it. ”
“Many people had even heard that this game was very torturous, but they still chose to buy it and play it. After all, if they were forced to refund it, they would just refund it. ”
“It wasn’t just because Dark Souls was highly rated, but also because it was the first game made using Pangu. Even though it was migrated from vr to Switch, it was still better than other games. ”
“A few boys were discussing while watching from behind, their faces full of eagerness. ”
“””You don’t say, but I think this image is quite good. Although it’s far from VR, the clarity of the image is very high! And the physics engine is good too, this quality is much higher than many PC games!”” ”
“””Of course, it’s a VR game! Even if some of the content is simplified, the core is still there. “” ”
“””And I feel that the operation mode is great too. The entire combat system of Dark Souls can be replicated!”” ”
“””Yes, I’ve played it in the VR gaming pod at home before. The content of the game isn’t much different from that of a handheld game. The biggest difference might be the sense of immersion, the operating mode, and other relatively minor details.”” ”
“””Wow, I feel like it’s still very difficult to transplant the game onto a handheld device. The difficulty hasn’t decreased at all! How did I die again?”” ”
“””Can you do it? Noobie, if you can’t do it, hurry up and get someone else!”” ”
“””Sigh, don’t mention it. The two joysticks aren’t very convenient to use. It’s not as comfortable as the VR gaming pod.”” ”
“””Hehe, that’s because you don’t know how to use it, let me do it! I’ve already gotten used to this mode when I played super Mali Odyssey. In fact, it’s easier to play this game on a handheld device than in VR, and it’s less tiring. “” ”
“””You don’t say. I feel that the effects of this image are quite good. I’m even thinking about whether I should buy a TV!”” ”
“””Isn’t the handheld device working fine? Besides … If we buy the TV, where can we put it in our dormitory …”” ”
“””The television screen is so big! The resolution of the TV and the handheld phone were different. Besides, the TV was not expensive. It could be bought for just over 1000 Yuan. I’ll put it in my dormitory and use it to play Dark Souls … Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s a beautiful painting!”” ”
“””That makes sense … But I’ve already called the police for this semester’s living expenses!”” He said. I’m just short of spending all of it on the game … I’ll take it easy for now and wait for another two months …”” ”
The students in the dormitory had all listened to Chen Mo’s class and were the first to buy the Switch.
“At that time, the four of them pooled their funds to buy the handheld console. Now, Dark Souls and the prequel were sold on the Switch together. Although they couldn’t play the VR version, they could still have some fun on the Switch. ”
“However, some players who had just come into contact with the Switch operation mode were still not used to this unique operation method. ”
“In the end, there was no such thing as a console in this world, so the players were not familiar with the operation mode of the controller. ”
“They were most familiar with the operation modes of mobile phones, PC, and VR, which were either touch screens, mouse and keyboard, or mind. ”
It was just like how many PC players would feel uncomfortable and awkward when they first touched the game controller. It would take some time before they could experience the comfort of the game controller.
“On one hand, it was the position of the buttons. Many people found it inconvenient to press the L and R keys at the top, especially with R1 as the main attack key. Many PC players were not used to it. ”
“On the other hand, controlling the character’s movement and perspective through the joystick was a bit uncomfortable, especially when using the right joystick to control the perspective. Many players would be flustered as soon as they started playing. ”
“However, the players who had been familiar with the game through super Mali Odyssey did not reject this mode at all. Instead, they felt that it was very convenient. ”
Some people even felt that it was more comfortable to play like this than playing in VR gaming pods.
“On the one hand, he had a weak sense of immersion, so the scary atmosphere in the game was not that scary. He had more space to think and operate calmly, and there was no risk of a heart attack at any time. ”
“On the other hand, Switch’s operation mode was a very mature operation mode, so it could perfectly replicate the entire combat system of Dark Souls. ”
“Of course, there were still differences between the two versions. For example, in the VR version, players could choose to backstab the specific parts of the monster. The damage and results would be different according to the different parts being attacked. ”
“Some backstabs in fixed positions would cause an execution effect, while some backstabs were only equivalent to a normal attack with high damage. These all depended on the Pangu system’s physical operation results. ”
“The Switch was closer to the original dark Souls in Chen Mo’s previous life. Backstab only had two outcomes, triggered or not. As long as it was triggered, it would be given a value based on the weapon, which was a simplified version. ”
“However, even after simplification, Dark Souls on the Switch platform was still a very fun game. ”
“After playing the Switch version of Dark Souls, many people were surprised to find that this small handheld console could achieve so many complicated functions. It could even perfectly replicate a perfect combat system like dark Souls! ”
“The buttons on the controller seemed to be few, but they had their own rules and were arranged in a very reasonable way. ”
“Little did they know that this design was the best design in the console industry in Chen Mo’s previous life. It included the left and right joysticks and a few function buttons, perfectly fitting the operating requirements of most games. ”
It was a very convenient and highly concentrated operation mode.
“In Chen Mo’s previous life, this game controller design was already perfect for some experienced console players. Many manufacturers couldn’t even come up with something new even if they wanted to, because there was no room for improvement. ”
“However, to the people of this world, the design of this controller was still very new because they had never seen it before. ”
“On the other hand, the release of the Switch version for Dark Souls was a win-win situation. For Dark Souls, it further expanded the player base to those without VR gaming pods. As for Switch, it also used the fame of Dark Souls to increase its sales. ”
“Of course, no matter what, Chen Zhao would win. ”
