This difference mainly comes from the picture definition. Obviously the same picture quality, the Mirage after the update is more than a little more refined than before the update, as if it has evolved from 480 to 1080.
The details of each car brand's directly-operated stores and cars have also been increased, making them look more "realistic" and the dynamic effects are better. Once you enter the login interface, even the transition animation will make people feel happy.
Moreover, there is no monetization element in Mirage from beginning to end. What monetization is needed for a stand-alone game? Even in the online version, there is no krypton gold element, but it will provide a function similar to an "exchange".
In the new map of the online version, various "trades" can be carried out, including cars, houses, modification services, accessories, etc., as well as some special items obtained by completing tasks. Generally speaking, it will be more open.
The new game map is called "Undersea City". After selecting the characters and vehicle information in the stand-alone map "Floating City", you can set off. Players with quick hands have already entered the Undersea City with their own modified vehicles.
Some players are still looking at the "luxury cars" in their garages in the floating city and sighing:
"Is this...my car!?"
"Holy shit! Such details! Such workmanship! And this Xinghan 01...is truly the official son!"
"Damn it! There are actually light and shadow effects! The texture of this paint looks so strong! I'll play it alone for a while, wow, the acceleration and sound are much better than before! The map fineness has also been improved a lot! "
"Wait! Why is the phone a little hot?"
"His grandma! The frame dropped! I have only used Stardust 1 for two years, and now the game is stuck?"
"And the power loss is so fast!"
Stardust 1 users finally felt a feeling of being "abandoned by the times". In fact, there was nothing wrong with Stardust 1 itself. It was actually the Mirage update that put higher requirements on the chip, and the performance really couldn't keep up.
In order to build a smart phone chip, Chen Zifan forcibly "modified and enhanced" the functional phone chip into a smart chip with more than six times the performance. However, this enhancement was only temporary and left huge hidden dangers.
Stardust OS can only be upgraded to version 2.0, and it won't work any further. It's not that Chen Zifan doesn't care about Stardust 1 users, it's actually that the chip exposed many problems later, but fortunately it doesn't affect daily use.
Stardust 2, Stardust 3, and Stardust 3+ are much better in terms of daily use and gaming. After all, there is a world of difference between the use experience with fast charging and without fast charging, and the gap is even greater than the performance experience gap.
After briefly experiencing the single-player floating city after the update of Mirage, after choosing their own vehicles, these game players all poured into the underwater city. Once they entered the underwater city, they seemed to have opened the door to a new world:
"Xinghan 01, Xinghan 01, or Xinghan 01... Why are they all Xinghan 01? Although this car is the ceiling in the game and can be modified in various ways... but not everyone has one. Can you get something else?"
"Oh~ there are quite a few tourists in Xinghan..."
"This modified van? Wait a minute! This is not a van. This is for advertising, right?"
"It's amazing!"
"But this map is really awesome! You can see floating fish right above it... No, it's not floating. The top of your head seems to be water itself, but what is that? Why can some cars run on the ceiling?"
"What's the point of this?"
"There are people and cars on the ceiling, and people and cars on the ground. How do cars on the ground get to the ceiling? Ask around in the community... Hey, it turns out there is an extra-wide runway in front of it."
"Whatever the principle is! Just play it! What other scientific principles are discussed in the game? If you really want to talk about it, I know that many astronauts' training venues are in the deep sea, which means that the gravity of the deep sea will become smaller..."
"What nonsense! You should read a few more books before you can explain it! The gravity of the deep sea is not getting smaller, but...forget it, why are you trying to be more realistic with a game? There can't really be an underwater city!"
"Yes... I would rather believe that people can build cities in the desert and mobile phones on the sea.
I don’t believe there will be floating cities or undersea cities on islands. "
"You can take a look at the car, and the rest..."
"Brothers! Something bad is going to happen! Go to the Xinghan Direct Store in the game! They actually have new cars! They even have two new cars in one go!"
"???"
"what's the situation!?"
Players who don't know why are still chasing each other in Undersea City, playing bumper cars, or adding friends to race on the city track or ocean track. The rest have all gone to the Xinghan Direct Store in Undersea City.
They thought it was nothing in the single-player floating city, but in the online underwater city... there was a traffic jam!
There is actually a traffic jam in the game!
"Damn it! There are no parking spaces in the game! The whole street is blocked! It's so difficult to get into the store! Get out of the way!"
"My car can't be driven out! It's blocked! It's a traffic jam! This is not the only Xinghan Direct-operated store! Can't I go to other places to see it? This bothers me!"
"According to my observation, the unlocked map area of Underwater City is at least 20 times larger than that of Floating City, but there are too many players, there are almost no NCs driving on the road and it seems crowded. It's not good if it's too real!"
"Brother! There is a one-touch button to close the car! Why do you park the car on the side of the road?"
"???"
There is also parking in the game...
I have to say that they are really talented.
After arriving at the Xinghan direct-sales store, many people discovered what the so-called "new car" is. It is a premium coupe called Xinghan 001. It looks smaller than the Xinghan 01 and does not have as much technological luxury as the Xinghan 01. .
There is also a cruising motorcycle called Xinghan 009. This is a model they have never seen before. Let alone seeing it before, there is not even a motorcycle with a similar design. The appearance looks very technological.
Combined with the prices of the two cars...
"The starting price of Xinghan 001 is 185,800 yuan..."
"The starting price of Xinghan 009 is 35,800 yuan..."
"Damn it! It's so cheap!"
If it were just in the game, the two new cars on the Xinghan Direct Store might not cause much reaction, because compared with the cars in other racing games, these two cars are a bit too "close to reality."
But with Xinghan in front, no one dares to underestimate these two products. Many people have previously believed that based on the performance of Xinghan 01 in games, it would be extremely difficult for Xinghan Zhixing to perfectly reproduce it.
When Xinghan's popularity has skyrocketed and it has a vague tendency to become a "national car", some people speculate that Xinghan Zhixing will launch an "intermediate model" to balance the gap between Xinghan and Xinghan 01.
Not many people cared about it at the time, but now... the emergence of Xinghan 001 is a disguised official announcement, without any secrets, directly exposing all the parameters and configuration levels of Xinghan 001.
Although it does not have the outrageous high-tech configuration and luxury of Xinghan 01, Xinghan 001 inherits many of the configurations of Xinghan 01, and its price is not that outrageous, and it is within the range that many people can "accept".
"185,800 yuan, if the purchase tax and first-year insurance are exempted, 185,800 yuan seems to be a good deal! Doesn't that Xinghan Direct Store provide 60 installment loans? The monthly repayments seem to be okay!"
In addition, there is also an "ultra-low" cruise motorcycle Xinghan 009, priced at 35,800 yuan. For less than the price of a Xinghan, you can feel the pleasure of "dressing up" in the city and enjoy the wind and freedom of 400 kilometers...
The motorcycle guys who had previously looked down on Kazekage-Zhanhuo and thought that Zhanhuo was a "wisp of fire" were all excited. After all, they were getting older. Although they had the need to pretend, imitating a race car was really not suitable.
Motorcycles are also banned in Haicheng, and there are currently only one or two types of electric motorcycles to choose from. The rest are from horizon manufacturers. The products they launch have neither safety guarantees nor branded after-sales services, and they cannot meet the demand for equipment.
Well now, Xinghan 009 just fills this gap. In the parameter introduction, its comprehensive cruising range even reaches 420k.
The navigation level is almost the same as that of the Polestar X with a 40kh battery.
More importantly, Xinghan 009 also has fast charging, and its domineering and chic riding posture made many players fall in love with it. They immediately waved: bought it!
Ahem, buy it in the game...
Anyway, the money in the game is not worth anything~ You can quickly earn back by completing a few exploration missions and running a few easy-difficulty city tracks. This also gives them a deeper understanding of Xinghan 009.
For example, the riding position——
In Mirage, everyone can customize the character's height and appearance, but they won't pinch their faces at the beginning like some Yi games. As a result, many players spent more than half an hour pinching their faces before even entering the game.
In this way, players can adjust the height of the game character accordingly according to their own height. Whether they are test driving a car or a motorcycle, they will have an intuitive reference, saving a lot of trouble.
Cruisers like the Xinghan 009 are obviously of the type that can accommodate anything from 160 to 190. Over 190...over 190, no matter what kind of motorcycle you ride, it will look very small, unless it is some specially modified model.
Originally, Chen Zifan wanted to promote Xinghan 001 more, but as a result, Xinghan 009 became much more popular than Xinghan 001. From games to the Stardust community, you can see topics discussing the parameters of Xinghan 009 everywhere.
Banning motorcycles is currently a trend. As Haicheng's influence continues to rise, it has further pushed major cities to ban motorcycles. In fact, Haicheng is not banning motorcycles, but fuel-powered motorcycles. They want to reshape the rules.
This is also the main reason why new energy motorcycles with a green license plate can run on the main roads in Shanghai, while fuel motorcycles with a yellow license plate will be fined or the vehicle will be detained as soon as they are detected.
Many people clamor for "unfair" every day, but when has the world ever been fair?
At least Haicheng will not extinguish everyone's hope and make them feel that their lives are meaningless. Just like the tireless screws on the machine, in this city, as long as they want, they can always find various opportunities.
Apart from anything else, no one will take care of the car owners who drive Xinghan modified cars to sell things as long as they do not affect the normal passage of vehicles and pedestrians. There are even dedicated people responsible for issuing permits for them.
Fortunately, we are only banning motorcycles now. One day, when the number of cars in Haicheng is too high and new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles form a direct confrontation, I am afraid that it will not be motorcycles that are banned, but fuel vehicles.
But they will definitely not ban it all at once. They will have to take it slow, starting with restricting license plates, then starting with environmental standards, kicking out all substandard cars, and finally encouraging the purchase of new energy vehicles...
It can be said that Haicheng is the perfect foundation for the development of Stardust Technology. You will get whatever you want and give you what you ask for. Now Stardust Technology can't even think about it.
As soon as the two models were released, the Polestar X, Polestar G... all had to be pushed aside. Even Haicheng TV Station was doing special advertising for the two models. Xinghan Zhixing suddenly became popular again.
People who were still complaining that Xinghan Zhixing was being stolen from the limelight by Polestar Motors have all shut up. They are trying to steal the limelight. As soon as Xinghan Zhixing's new energy vehicles are announced, there will be no car that attracts less attention. .c
Xinghan 009 will be relatively more popular due to various factors such as design, configuration, price, etc., but anyone who knows a little bit knows that electric motorcycles are not important, but the car Xinghan 001 is important.
As soon as it was announced in Haishi Mirage, it meant that Xinghan Zhixing was officially going to war with the traditional fuel vehicle market. Several car companies that had previously clamored not to care were studying this car in Haishi Mirage all night long.
The more I study them, the more uncomfortable I feel:
"It's only the end of September, and Xinghan Zhixing has exposed two models in advance... and judging from the game, the two models are already very complete in all aspects. It seems that they are rushing to launch them at the Stardust conference next year!"
"Xinghan 001 is different from Xinghan. It has already posed a direct threat to us! It is not a parallel import like Polestar X. If you look at their configuration, you also know how attractive those things are."
"There are not many car companies in China.
If someone can build a family car worth RMB 150,000+, they won’t be able to do it for another five years, but Xinghan 001 is taking a different approach... The new energy vehicle market is now a blank slate, and they have pricing power! "
"If they are allowed to develop like this, as long as Xinghan 001 is mass-produced, we will lose the opportunity to enter the field of new energy vehicles. Even if we launch a product, we will have to spend a lot of energy to get recognition."
"Who approves?"
"Consumer recognition, market recognition..."
"Then do we want it?"
"It's not something we can decide now. Although I hate to admit it, we have to wait!"
"Wait? Can we afford to wait?"
"..."
Either cooperation or self-research, but if they continue to choose to wait... Chen Zifan hopes they will do this, just to give Xinghan Zhixing more time.
As soon as Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 009 are exposed, next month will be the launch of Polestar X and Polestar G as well as the promotion of taxi and bus versions.
As long as it starts, with the current execution capabilities of Haicheng officials, it will take at most half a year to replace the original public transportation system. Of course, cars alone will not be enough, and Haicheng's transportation routes need to be re-planned.
Chen Zifan was not good at this, so when Haicheng officials invited him, he was just going to go through the motions. After that, he would transform two products to improve road construction efficiency and hand them over to his father's Xinghua Zhixing for production.
