Chapter 1406: A Car Accident Full Of Educational Warning
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The game download was completed after chatting with the audience in the live-stream for a while.
There were not many viewers in Zhang Yan’s live-stream, but they were basically old fans. Their posts were relatively active, so the popularity of the live-stream looked quite good.
What’s more, with the recent drainage of GOG’s international invitational tournament system, the traffic in Bunny Tail’s live-stream had improved greatly compared to before. What’s more, viewers who could persevere in learning mode and focus mode every day were basically more kind. The phenomenon of fis.h.i.+ng and arguing in the live-stream was much better than other live-stream platforms.
Thus, Zhang Yan especially liked the current atmosphere in the live-stream. It would be even better if there were more viewers.
“Today, I’ll broadcast Tengda’s new game, ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’.”
“Eh? Has anyone already played it? What? This game is quite unfriendly to the mouse and controller? Er…”
“It’s alright. As a professional racing gamer, I’ve already bought the steering wheel and it’s a luxurious set.”
“What? You’re saying I’m a female driver?”
“I can tell at a glance that it’s a new audience. I’m obviously a female car G.o.d! Old viewers know that I’m very good at racing games.”
The number of people in the live-stream was constantly increasing. Most of the old viewers who should be here were here. Zhang Yan officially began the game.
The first thing he saw after entering the game was the logo on the black screen, including Tengda Corporation, Shang Yang Games and Otto Technologies.
Right on the heels of that, the camera panned back, and the black screen slowly turned into a huge screen. At the same time, the camera panned to the driver’s side of the car.
The black screen logo on the huge screen disappeared. A white line spread out in the middle of the black screen, as if a door had opened in a flash. The beautiful city view entered his eyes.
The bustling tall buildings, the traffic on the city road, the highways that extended in all directions, the country roads of golden wheat fields on both sides, the professional racing venue in the outskirts, the tug-of-war racing track… Many scenes appeared one after another.
From these scenes, the graphics of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ were definitely top-notch. The optimization was not bad either.
The most important thing was that it seemed to be different from other racing games.
Other racing games basically had a large number of beautiful scenery. There were only two cars on the road, and there were very few cars on the road. Basically, they would only encounter one every now and then. On one hand, it was to slightly increase the difficulty of players so that it would not become a pure racing line. On the other hand, it was also to prevent players from playing so lonely.
However, overall, the impact of the cars on the road on players’ normal driving would definitely be minimized.
However, in the scenes presented by the opening CG of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’, the traffic was much denser than in other games. What’s more, the road plan was the same as in reality. There were many car lanes.
There were all sorts of cars on the city road, but they were mainly home-made cars. The tall buildings on both sides looked very real.
He felt that the art team’s work in the city’s scenery was not inferior to the beautiful environment in the wild.
“There are so many cars? It should only be the program effect of the opening CG. It looks very lively.”
“For a racing game to have so many cars, I’ll be thankful if there’s no traffic. How can we race then?”
“This initial car… what car is it? I’ve never seen this interior. It might be an original car model of the game.”
“That’s normal. In reality, car license fees are too high. If it’s worth it, we’ll buy it. If it’s not worth it, we’ll modify it. That’s normal.”
“However, a racing game does not have many cla.s.sic car models in reality. I have to say that it hurts a little.”
In any case, they were watching the opening CG. They had not really entered the game yet. Zhang Yan only commented casually.
Many outstanding racing games would cooperate with real car manufacturers to buy the license of these car models. For players, would they not be able to afford luxury cars in the game? Even if they had to spend money, it would be quite worth it to experience the driving feeling of luxury cars with ten yuan.
Thus, the luxury car type that existed in reality was an important factor that attracted players to many racing games.
However, there were also some games that could not afford or could not buy the license for various realistic car models. The only way was to modify.
The car’s brand name was changed, and the appearance and interior design of the car were slightly modified. However, players who knew cars would still be able to roughly distinguish which car it was. That would achieve similar effects.
However, this was ultimately a bit of a marginalization and was not the best solution.
There was only one reason why he could not afford the authorization. There might be all sorts of reasons why he was not willing to buy it.
For example, he felt that the authorization price was not worth it;
He felt that it was not worth it to advertise for the car merchants because he felt that his game was very impressive.
The game might cause a certain negative impact on these cars by repeatedly trampling them so the car merchants were not willing to sell them.
He could buy the authorization, but he wanted to create a completely virtual game world, and so on.
Zhang Yan did not pay much attention to this because she noticed that there seemed to be some brands that existed in reality in CG. However, most of the cars were modified.
Perhaps it was because most of the funds had been spent on the game and had not deliberately bought the license of a large number of cars.
After showing the scenery in the game, the camera switched back to the big screen to show the full picture of the car that players were currently controlling.
This should also be a car that had been modified in the game. However, Zhang Yan did not have much research on the various car models, so she did not recognize its original model. She only knew that it was a super sports car with a very handsome appearance.
At the same time, a simple operation notification appeared on the big screen in front of him.
The system had automatically detected that Zhang Yan was using a safe and civilized driving simulator. Thus, it would automatically teach according to the b.u.t.tons of the simulator.
The accelerator, brake, clutch, switch, brake, and other b.u.t.tons were all operated in turn, and the screen briefly explained their purpose.
These were very basic concepts for people who understood driving skills.
However, it was also possible that someone who had never touched a car in reality and knew nothing about this knowledge would play this game for the first time?
Thus, simple science was necessary.
Of course, for players who did not understand at all, the system would also very considerately ask if it should be changed to an automatic mode. Even though most of the functions of the simulator, hand brake, and slot would not be used, it was obviously more important for new players to let the car run normally.
Changing perspectives and other operations were all integrated onto the console of the set meal. It was very convenient.
If not for this console, he would have to use the keyboard or the key on the controller.
Zhang Yan had a full set of luxury equipment. Of course, she had to set it up as the perspective of the steering wheel in the car so that she could obtain the best sense of immersion.
After teaching a simple operation, the last step was to step on the accelerator and charge towards the game world on the big screen in front of him.
Zhang Yan was very excited. She stepped on the accelerator and hit the big screen!
Everything transmigrated in an instant and arrived at the city road that he had seen previously. The tall buildings on both sides quickly pa.s.sed by.
The moment they entered, it was night time. There were not many cars on the wide three-lane road. There were only a few other sports cars scattered in all directions, seemingly racing against Zhang Yan’s car.
Zhang Yan immediately became excited. I’m familiar with this scene!
It was just the warm-up and racing segment of the game.
This segment was actually to let players adapt to the driving hand sensitivity in the game as soon as possible. They would remember the keys that they had just learned. At the same time, players would immerse themselves in the game as soon as possible through the exciting compet.i.tion.
This compet.i.tion segment should not be long. It should be done in a few minutes before entering the official game segment.
Sports cars sped by, with cameras and cameras flas.h.i.+ng above the road.
“It’s quite realistic.” Zhang Yan could not help but feel emotional. This game actually made these unimportant details.
However, just as she was daydreaming, she subconsciously reduced her car speed. She saw another sports car speeding past the car beside her, instantly surpa.s.sing her.
How could anyone tolerate that?
Zhang Yan stepped on the accelerator to the end and drove back!
It had to be said that the performance of the sports car was really good. The acceleration was indeed fast. What’s more, even though the GL seat could not simulate the exaggerated GL strength of the real car, it still had a back pus.h.i.+ng feeling. What’s more, it was very consistent with the response of the accelerator. This made Zhang Yan feel even more nervous.
However, both cars were super sports cars after all. They were very fast. It was very difficult to surpa.s.s them in a straight line.
Zhang Yan was even more regretful now. If she had not been distracted by the speed monitor above her just now and subconsciously loosened the accelerator to reduce the car speed, she would still be leading the way now.
However, he would still have a chance to overtake them as long as he held on tightly.
Finally, there was a turn in front of them. Zhang Yan had estimated that the turn would slow down. She was prepared to drift beautifully and overtake them!
However, the moment she turned the steering wheel, she realized that something was amiss.
First of all, the brake lights of the front car were switched on, and the speed of the car decreased much faster than she had expected. Secondly, she realized that the control of this car was completely different from what she had imagined. The car did not drift smoothly like she had expected. Instead, there was a serious push. The front wheel slipped, causing the turnaround to be insufficient!
Bang!
There was a loud bang. Zhang Yan’s car hit the b.u.t.t of the front car solidly. The two cars were severely deformed under the huge impact. Their parts shattered on the ground, and then hit the roadside guardrails.
That was not the end. The collision of the two cars almost blocked the entire road. The few sports cars that followed behind naturally did not manage to brake in time and collided one after another!
Zhang Yan was in the car’s perspective. She only saw the safety balloon pop out and felt the steering wheel and the intense vibration of the GL seat. Then, the perspective quickly drifted away. She did not know how many cars had hit her b.u.t.t.
Finally, everything stopped, but the image stopped moving. No matter how Zhang Yan stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, there was no reaction.
The screen gradually darkened.
