Need for Speed ​​2 Chinese version

Need for Speed ​​2 game introduction

The reason why Need for Speed ​​2 makes people so excited should first of all be attributed to the new powerful engine designed by EA. So there is a lot to introduce, and I think I should start here. Need for Speed ​​2 was originally designed to run on Windows 95, DX support is required, and the version is at least 3.0. Faster hardware speed and more perfect API support made it possible for EA's engine designers to maximize the PC's hardware performance, and a brand new engine was born.

EA has used a variety of cutting-edge designs in Need for Speed ​​2. Almost all the major technological achievements in the industry over the past year can be found in the game. Even the development of the automobile manufacturing industry itself has been fully reproduced in Need for Speed ​​2: famous cars such as the "Ferrari 512m" and "Dodge Viper" that once fascinated countless car fans in a generation have migrated over time and become what they were in the past. Yellow flowers, replaced by "McLaren F1", "Ferrari" F50", "Ford INDIGO" and other top sports cars that are more handsome, faster, more powerful and more expensive.

Need for Speed ​​2 Game Highlights

The game uses a variety of cutting-edge designs:

Top graphics engines, new game mechanics, new dynamic image playback machines... Almost all the major technological achievements in the industry in the past year can be found in games.

The development of the automobile manufacturing industry itself has also been fully reproduced in this work:

​​ ​​The Ferrari 512m, Lamborghini Diablo, Chevrolet Corvette and other famous cars that once dazzled countless car fans in a generation have migrated to their former glory over time, and were replaced by McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, Ford GT90, Lotus Elise GT1 and other new batch of more handsome, faster and more expensive top sports cars.

The biggest highlight of this game is that it supports Glide, the dedicated API (graphics interface) of 3dfx's Voodoo graphics card.

As long as Glide mode (nfs2sea.exe) is enabled, the picture effect will be shocking (for the last century). Need for Speed ​​2 has also been recorded in the history of classic games.

Need for Speed ​​2 Game Advantages

The reason why "Need for Speed ​​2" makes people so excited should first of all be attributed to the new powerful engine designed by EA. So there is a lot to introduce, and I think I should start here. "Need for Speed" 2》Running under WIN95, requires DIRECT x support, and the version is at least 3.0. Faster device access speeds and more complete 3D support made it possible for EA designers to maximize the PC's hardware performance, and a brand new engine was born.

"Need for Speed" 2》The picture is completely drawn in real time, and the visual "mosaic" phenomenon is reduced to the lowest point. Among all the racing games I have come across so far, its performance in this aspect is undoubtedly the most outstanding: all objects in the field of view, whether it is the cultural landscape in the foreground or the natural mountains and rivers in the background, will be constantly refreshed as the player's perspective changes. Redrawing, only at the closest distance, we will find slight "color patches" on the buildings on the roadside. As for the vehicles of the contestants in the competition, no matter how hard you open your eyes, you will not be able to find the slightest bit of roughness. The new engine is completely based on "point" The 3D world in the game is constructed as a unit, and the image display is completed through real-time calculations. This will not only make the game screen more delicate, but also more "accurate": the early "instant light and shadow" engine (For example, "Extreme Realistic Racing"), the game screen is usually depicted in the form of "geometric figures and ten vector lattice". The shape of the car is actually a polygon. Because it is mixed with a relatively large drawing unit called "line", when the player's perspective changes only slightly, it is difficult to display the game screen accurately. Some slopes are only a few degrees. Lines may still be drawn horizontally. This shortcoming of the engine itself will in many cases cause the shape of the car to be distorted and the body outline to be broken or lost. And in "Need for Speed" 2", thanks to the power of new technologies, EA uses this new drawing engine that is completely based on "points" to completely eliminate this phenomenon and accurately outline the shape of objects to the greatest extent.

The quality of textures is another important criterion for measuring the quality of a game's graphics. Need for Speed ​​2 is equally impressive in this regard. Players will see extremely detailed surface texture processing of objects in the game : The wrinkles of the mountain rocks, the smoothness of the snow, the smoothness of the waterfall, and the lushness of the grass slopes are all depicted as if they were alive. Although this kind of picture is not "Need for Speed" 2" is the first of its kind, but its performance is so realistic that it seems to be absolutely "unparalleled" among similar games. : The rocks in the game are covered with various concave and convex ravines, which greatly increases the player's visual realism. It will never produce a false big stone effect using simple shadow and highlight processing methods; you will never turn the crystal The fine snow is mixed with white cloth; the cathartic waterfall will reflect a dazzling luster like a mirror; the grass slope is no longer a piece of slanted green paper, it will show you a fluffy, furry texture... ...The quality of the texture effect depends on the level of the artist on the one hand, and the production of its 3D skeleton on the other hand. If there is no corresponding entity and the texture is simply placed at the desired location, the player's visual realism will be greatly reduced, which may cause many ridiculous scenes. When traveling in the background production on both sides of the tracks in many racing games in the past, didn’t we often see mountains and buildings “hanging” on the roadside like murals, and audiences placed beside the road like photos? ?This is ultimately because the game engine is not POWER enough - while working hard to draw textures, it cannot take into account the skeleton of the texture. Thanks to the use of a new drawing engine, in "Need for Speed" 2", players will no longer see these emotionally affecting scenes. What will be displayed in front of you will be a charming and vivid three-dimensional world: we can see the unevenness of the rocks from the side; we can appreciate the tall buildings along the road from different directions. Buildings; you can look up at the planes that often change angles passing overhead... The enjoyment brought by textures of this quality is difficult to describe, but for those careful players, it will definitely make you excited. The enhancement of light and shadow effects is what "Need for Speed" 2》The third major feature of the screen: the intervention of "atomization", "transparent color" and other techniques makes the game surface more realistic: when the car starts, we can see the exhaust pipe spray from the rearview mirror. The billowing white smoke, from thick to light, follows the wind Dispersed; when the racing car is racing under the scorching sun, we can see the flowing highlights on the window glass; when it collides with the buildings on the roadside, sparks will be wiped out and splash behind the car... These are the racing cars of the past. Unimaginable in the game. Maybe the production of light and shadow effects is not the core concern of players, but it can often add a "finishing touch" to a game's screen. "Need for Speed" The special effects added in "2" add a different kind of sophistication and reality to the game while showing magnificent scenes.

Overall, the engine of "Need for Speed ​​2" is undoubtedly the best among all similar games currently. Even if we break out of the scope of racing games, there seem to be few beautiful designs in the industry that can match it. I see only " The 3D effects in "QUAKE" and "Tomb Raider" can be compared with it. However, the screen advancement speed of the latter two only simulates the traveling speed of human beings, which is different from the hourly speed in "Need for Speed ​​2". How can it be compared to a high-speed reel of 300 kilometers?
