DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game technology called a video game or the like realized by electronic information processing. For example, the present invention relates to a three-dimensional game in which an opponent character and a self-character operated in response to a user operation are used. The present invention relates to a technique for allowing a user to recognize the presence of an opponent character by a sound effect in a game of a format in which a player plays in a space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A game using a computer is, for example, a form in which game software installed or received via a communication line is executed by a personal computer.
A game computer connected to a television
It is realized in various formats such as a format for executing game software stored in a storage medium such as a D-ROM or a memory card, and a format for executing game software on a dedicated game device having a built-in game computer. I have. In such a computer game, a user operates a self-character set in the game by a controller to play against another character appearing in the game (hereinafter referred to as an opponent character) and win the opponent character. Depending on the type, some points may be earned or the player may advance to the next scene in the game story.

In such a fighting game, during the game, a user operates a controller to operate a self-character, thereby creating a virtual world in which the self-character fights for an opponent character instead of the user. Specifically, the three-dimensional game space in which the character appears is displayed on the screen in a view in which the self-character can be seen, and when the user enters the view of the self-character (ie, is displayed on the screen), the user can determine the presence of the opponent character. By recognizing the character, the player character is caused to play against the opponent character.

[0004] In such a fighting game, sound effects are also used in order to make the game more powerful by giving a sense of realism, and background music and sound effects of the fighting action are used in the progress of the game. Depending on the output, stereo sound was used.

[0005]

In such a competitive game, game software is programmed so that opponent characters appear one after another in the three-dimensional game space, giving a sense of tension to the user. This enhances the fun of the game. In a conventional game of this kind, the user can operate the controller to move the display range of the screen and make the own character look around to recognize the opponent character.

However, conventionally, since the appearance of the opponent character has been recognized based on the image displayed on the screen (ie, the visual field of the own character), even if a three-dimensional game space is formed around the own character, In order to find the opponent character, the self-character must always look around, and so to speak, it is like looking into a three-dimensional game space from a small window, and lacks a sense of reality.

[0007] On the other hand, conventionally, the sound of the opponent character or the like is output by stereophonic sound, whereby the user can acoustically recognize the presence of the opponent character. However, in this case, only the sound of the opponent character is output in the two-dimensional acoustic space of up, down, left, and right, and only at rough positions such as above, below, left, and right of the visual field of the self character. Unable to express the presence of the opponent character,
It was not possible to realize sufficient realism.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and uses a representation of a three-dimensional acoustic space in a competitive game, and synchronizes the representation of the acoustic space with the representation of an image of the three-dimensional game space. It is intended to realize a powerful game with a high sense of reality. Further objects of the present invention will be apparent in the following description.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a game device,
The present invention is embodied in the form of a storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to implement the game according to the present invention, and an acoustic synchronization method for implementing the game according to the present invention. First, a game device according to the present invention is a game device in which an opponent character and a self-character that operates in response to a user operation received from a controller compete in a three-dimensional game space, and a display unit displays the three-dimensional game space. The screen is displayed substantially in the visual field of the own character, and the display switching unit moves the visual field of the self character displayed in the screen in the three-dimensional game space in response to a user operation, so that the character can look around.

In addition to the above, in the game apparatus according to the present invention, the sound output means outputs the sound emitted by the opponent character in the three-dimensional game space in the three-dimensional sound space centered on the vicinity of the front of the display screen. The output position of the sound emitted by the character in the three-dimensional sound space is synchronized with the appearance position of the opponent character in the three-dimensional game space. Therefore, the user can recognize the presence and position of the opponent character appearing in the three-dimensional game space by three-dimensional acoustic positions of front, rear, left, right, up, and down without being in the field of view of the own character. A game scene with a feeling is realized.

Here, in order to represent the image seen by the self-character on behalf of the user, the three-dimensional game space is displayed on the screen substantially from the field of view of the self-character. Alternatively, for example, the presence of the self-character may be displayed to the user to some extent by expressing a situation in which the self-character is seen over the shoulder.

Also, in order to make the user recognize the position of the opponent character in the three-dimensional game space by three-dimensional sound, ideally, the center of the three-dimensional sound space is set as a user operation position assumed on the front of the display screen, for example. If the opponent character appears behind the field of view displayed on the screen, it is preferable that the user hears a noise behind. However, for example, a large-scale game device having a seat for the user to operate is still difficult to define the position of the user to operate with a home-use game device and the like. For example, even if the center of the three-dimensional sound space is set substantially at the center of the display screen, the user can actually recognize the position of the opponent character by its own sound. The center of the space may be set near the front of the display screen including the user operation position assuming the front of the display screen, so that the user can recognize the positional relationship of the opponent character with respect to the own character by hearing.

The position of the opponent character in the three-dimensional game space and the position of the sound of the opponent character in the three-dimensional sound space ideally coincide exactly in both three-dimensional spaces. In addition, the sense of position of human sound may be rough, and the three-dimensional sound space is divided into a plurality of regions in order to reduce the load of the synchronization process and to speed up the process. Alternatively, the sound generated by the opponent character may be output to the sound output unit by associating the appearance position of the opponent character in the three-dimensional game space with the area of the three-dimensional sound space. Also, 3
The three-dimensional sound space is realized, for example, by sound output from four speakers arranged in front, rear, left and right of the user who operates the device. In recent years, the sound localization characteristics are lower than those of the surround speaker format, A device (eg, Roland's RSS-10) that realizes a pseudo three-dimensional sound space by sound outputs from a pair of speakers provided at the front left and right has been put to practical use, and such a pseudo three-dimensional sound space has been used. May be implemented.

It is preferable that the controller operated by the user to operate the own character can perform the look-up operation of the own character in an operation mode suitable for the user's feeling. The joystick switch that accepts the instruction to turn and turn left is also shared with the instruction of the look-ahead operation of the self-character, associating the movement operation and the look-ahead operation of the self-character, and issuing an instruction from the joystick switch according to the presence or absence of the changeover switch operation. It is preferable to receive an instruction to turn the visual field of the self character upward, downward, right turn, and left turn.

A storage medium storing a game program according to the present invention executes, by a computer, a game in which an opponent character and a self-character that operates in response to a user operation received from a controller compete in a three-dimensional game space. A storage medium storing a program for causing the display device to display a three-dimensional game space on the screen of the display device substantially according to the field of view of the self-character, and a function of displaying the self-character field to be displayed on the screen in accordance with a user operation instruction received from the controller. A display switching function for moving in a three-dimensional game space, a sound output function for outputting a sound emitted by an opponent character in the three-dimensional game space from a speaker in a three-dimensional acoustic space centered on the vicinity of the front of the display screen, and a three-dimensional sound of the opponent character The appearance position in the game space and the opponent character And stores a game program and a sound synchronizing function for synchronizing the output position in the three-dimensional acoustic space that sound.

[0016] The sound synchronization method according to the present invention is characterized in that a display device for displaying a game on a screen, a controller for receiving a user operation, a plurality of speakers, and a computer for executing the game in accordance with the game program are transmitted from the controller. A sound synchronization method for a game in which the display position and sound of an opponent character fighting against a self-character operating in response to a user operation are output in synchronization with the three-dimensional game space on the display device screen. The visual field is displayed, the visual field of the self-character is moved in the three-dimensional game space according to a user operation instruction received from the controller, and the appearance position of the opponent character in the three-dimensional game space and the three-dimensional sound of the sound emitted by the opponent character are displayed. Synchronize with the output position in the space, the opponent character in the 3D game space Is output from the speaker to the corresponding position of the three-dimensional acoustic space the sounds emitted.

Further, according to the present invention, the three-dimensional game space is displayed on the screen of the display device substantially in the field of view of the self-character, and the self-character field of view displayed on the screen is displayed in the three-dimensional game space in response to a user operation instruction received from the controller. When the user operation is received from the controller and the user character jumps over the other character behind the opponent character whose screen is displayed on the screen, a bird's-eye image of the visual field of the self character in a jumping circular orbit centering on the other character is continuously displayed on the screen. And a storage medium that stores a game device and a game program. As a result, a situation where the player character jumps over the opponent character in the battle and goes behind the opponent character can be represented by the screen display, and a realistic and realistic game scene is realized.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the game device according to the present embodiment is configured by connecting a home game device 2 having a controller 1 operated by a user to a television device 3. By loading a storage medium (CD-ROM) storing the program into the driver unit 4 of the game device 2 and executing the game program with hardware resources such as a processor and a memory built in the game device 2, 3 according to the program
A competitive game in a three-dimensional game space can be advanced.

In this competitive game, a part of the head and shoulders of the self-character T operated by the user is displayed as an image from the back on the screen 5 of the television device, and the self-character T is displayed in the game space. The scene currently being viewed is displayed on the screen 5. In other words, the user looks at the screen display, and can view 3
You can see the 3D game space. The screen 5 shown in FIG. 1 displays a situation in which the opponent character A exists almost in front of the self-character T.

Then, when the user operates the controller 1 as described later, the self-character is caused to move forward, backward, right turn, and left turn (that is, images displayed on the screen are moved forward, backward, (Turn right and turn left), and make the field of view of the self-character upward, downward, turn right, and turn left (that is, turn the image displayed on the screen upward, turn downward, turn right, And make a left turn), and make the player character perform various operations such as swinging a weapon. Note that such an image representation of the three-dimensional game space can be performed by, for example, a polygon drawing method. Further, the television device 3 is provided with a pair of speakers 6 on the left and right sides of the screen 5, and outputs a motion sound and a background sound of the character according to the progress of the game as pseudo three-dimensional sound.

The game device 2 has a configuration as shown in FIG. 2, and a processor (C) for executing and processing the game program read from the CD-ROM 10 by the driver unit 4.
PU) 11 and a working memory (RAM) for program execution
12, an audio processing unit 13 for performing an audio output process from the speaker 6 in accordance with the execution of the program, an image output unit 14 for performing an image output process from the television screen 5 in accordance with the execution of the program, and these functional units are connected. And a bus 15 to be connected. The processor 11 performs control processing in accordance with the game program and a user operation instruction received from the controller 1, and the sound processing unit 13 and the image processing unit 14 perform predetermined processing under the control of the processor 11.

That is, the image processing unit 14 operates under the control of the processor 11 by the polygon drawing method.
As shown in FIG. 1, a three-dimensional game space according to the game program is displayed on the screen 5 as a two-dimensional image in the field of view of the self-character T, and the screen display image is displayed in response to a user operation instruction. A process of changing the image to a forward, backward, right turn, and left turn image in the space to represent a state in which the self-character T is moving forward, backward, right turn, and left turn in the game space; and , The screen display image in the game space upward, downward,
By turning right and left, the self character T faces upward,
It performs a process of expressing a state in which a look-around operation is performed downward, rightward, and leftward, and performs a process of displaying an image of the self-character swinging a weapon. Therefore, the function of the image processing unit 14 allows the three-dimensional game space to be displayed substantially on the screen 5 by the visual field of the self-character T.
And display switching means for moving the visual field of the self-character T displayed on the screen in the three-dimensional game space in response to a user operation to perform a look-up operation or the like by the self-character.

The sound processing unit 13 performs a pseudo three-dimensional sound processing under the control of the processor 11 to display background music according to the game program, sounds emitted by the opponent character, etc. on the front of the screen 5 through a pair of speakers 6. A process for expressing in a three-dimensional acoustic space centered on the neighborhood is performed. Therefore, the function of the sound processing unit 13 constitutes a sound output unit that outputs a sound generated by the opponent character such as a shout or a footstep in the three-dimensional game space in the three-dimensional sound space centered on the vicinity of the front of the screen. .

The processor 11 also functions as an audio synchronizing means for synchronizing the processing of the audio processing unit 13 and the processing of the image processing unit 14. 3
Synchronize the appearance position in the 3D game space. In the processing by the image processing unit 14, the opponent character is expressed as an image by displaying the character data set in the program at the screen coordinate position representing the three-dimensional game space set in the program. The unit 13 is 3
The sound output from the opponent character programmed at the three-dimensional sound position corresponding to the coordinate position in the three-dimensional game space is output.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show the user U in front of the screen 5.
Indicates that the game operation is being performed with
FIG. 3 shows the state in plan view, and FIG. 4 shows the state in side view. Also, FIG. 3 shows a situation in which three opponent characters A (A ′) to C (C ′) exist in the three-dimensional game space. The sound position in the three-dimensional sound space is indicated by A ', the sound position of the opponent character B in the three-dimensional sound space is indicated by B', and the opponent character C is indicated.
The sound position in the three-dimensional sound space is denoted by C ′, the partner character that can be represented by an image is indicated by a square symbol, and the sound position is indicated by a round symbol.

In the state shown in the figure, the user U can simulate the three-dimensional game space from the visual field of the self-character T appearing in the battle game by looking at the screen 5. That is, in the state shown in the figure, since the opponent character A existing in front of or slightly above the self-character in the three-dimensional game space is in the visual field of the self-character, the screen 5
However, the opponent character B existing slightly below and to the left of the self character and the opponent character C existing behind the self character are not displayed on the screen 5 because they are not in the field of view of the self character. In such a state, the user U operates the controller 1 to turn the self-character and the field of view of the self-character, so that the opponent character B, almost in front of the self-character (that is, in the field of view),
When C is captured, the opponent characters B and C are displayed on the screen, and the user can visually recognize the presence.

Then, in synchronism with the representation of the game space by such an image, the sound produced by each character is output at the position of the three-dimensional sound space corresponding to the position of each opponent character, and the three-dimensional game space is output. The presence of the other character and its position are represented acoustically. That is, the opponent character A existing slightly in front of the self-character
Is expressed in front of and slightly above user U, and the sound emitted by the opponent character B present slightly to the left of and below the self-character is output and expressed to the left of and slightly below user U.
The sound emitted by the opponent character C present behind the own character is output and expressed behind the user U. Therefore,
The user U can also perceive the presence and position of the opponent characters B and C not displayed on the screen 5 by the acoustic expression, and the user U assumes that the user U is in the game space on behalf of his own character. You can experience the world, and you can realize a thrilling and powerful game where you can see the opponent but you can not see the appearance.

Here, in the above example, the origin O ′ of the coordinate system (X′-Y′-Z ′) of the three-dimensional acoustic space is assumed to be the operation position of the user U assumed in front of the screen 5 and the three-dimensional Although the existence sound of each opponent character specified in the game space coordinate system (XYZ) is converted to an acoustic coordinate system and output,
Since the sense of position of human sound is rougher than that of vision, the origin O ′ is determined by the user position and the display screen, for example, such that the origin O ′ of the three-dimensional acoustic space coordinate system is substantially the center on the display screen 5. If it is set between 5, the user U can recognize the positional relationship of the opponent character by hearing.

Also, instead of making the coordinate values of the three-dimensional game space (XYZ) and the coordinate values of the three-dimensional sound space (X′-Y′-Z ′) correspond to each other, instead of synchronizing the sound, The three-dimensional sound space is divided into a plurality of regions, the existence sound data of the opponent character is set for each region, and the three-dimensional sound space region corresponding to the coordinate values of the opponent character appearing in the three-dimensional game space is specified. Then, the existence sound set at the spatial position of the corresponding area may be output. For example, an area obtained by dividing the three-dimensional sound space into eight around the set origin O ′ is set, and the presence sound of the opponent character appearing in the three-dimensional game space according to the progress of the game program is represented by the presence coordinate value of the character. May be output to the sound area corresponding to the sound output processing, so that the burden on the sound output processing can be reduced.

Here, in such a battle game, an operation of detecting the opponent character with the presence sound and capturing the opponent character in the field of view is performed, so that the controller operation for capturing the opponent character in the field of view matches the operation sensation of the user. By adopting such a mode, the game can be made to have a powerful sense of realism that matches the sense of the user. Therefore, in this example, the controller 1 is configured as shown in FIG. 5 and has the following function settings. The controller 1 is provided with a grip portion 20 to be gripped by a user, and various switches including a joystick switch 21 are provided on an upper surface portion, and a changeover switch 22 for switching a function of the joystick switch 21 on a front surface portion.
Is provided.

When the changeover switch 22 is not pressed, the joystick switch 21 is operated by the user in the forward FR, the backward RV, the rightward RT, and the leftward LT, so that the user moves forward, backward, rightward, and leftward. The operation instruction is input to the processor 11 to perform various processing such as image processing for changing the visual field of the self-character displayed on the screen as described above and sound processing associated therewith. Let On the other hand, when the changeover switch 22 is pressed as indicated by the arrow P, the user operates the joystick switch 21 so that the user operates the front FR, the rear RV, and the right R.
A function is set to accept an instruction to turn the visual field of the self character upward, downward, right turn, and left turn by operating to T and left LT. In this way, various processes such as image processing for changing the visual field of the self-character displayed on the screen and accompanying sound processing are performed. Therefore, the moving operation and the visual field changing operation of the self-character similar in sense can be performed by sharing the joystick switch 21, and the game can be advanced by the operation matching the user's sense.

In the example described above, an example is shown in which a three-dimensional acoustic space is artificially formed by a pair of speakers.
A more realistic three-dimensional sound space using three or more speakers arranged around the user may be adopted, and which mode is appropriately determined in consideration of required realism, cost, and the like. do it. In addition, according to the gist of the present invention in which an object in a three-dimensional game space is three-dimensionally represented by sound, the screen display only needs to be substantially in the visual field of the self-character, and the center of the three-dimensional sound space is Although it may be near the display screen, and depending on the required realism, the screen display visual field and the sound expression position may be changed with a considerably large width, and the operation and effect as the gist of the present invention can be achieved. it can.

Next, according to the present invention, it is possible to represent, with a screen display, a situation where the player character jumps over the opponent character who is competing and goes around behind the opponent character. In this case, the display means constituted by the function of the image processing unit 14 displays the three-dimensional game space on the screen 5 substantially in the field of view of the self-character T as in the above-described example. 14
The display switching means configured by the function described above receives a user operation from the controller 12 in which the own character T jumps behind the opponent character displayed on the screen 5 from the controller 12 as described below. It has a function of continuously displaying a bird's-eye image of the own character's visual field in a circular orbit on the screen 5.

In the following example, in order to simply explain the bird's-eye view image of the opponent character, as shown in FIG. In order to represent such a bird's-eye image, the display switching means 14 uses the position information processing as shown in FIG. Is displayed.

For convenience of explanation, FIG. 7 shows a state in which the self character faces the opponent character D (a), a state of approximately 45 degrees (= α1) in a jumping circular orbit (b), and a state in which a jumping circular orbit At about 90 degrees (= α2) (c, that is, just above the opponent character), at about 135 degrees (= α3) in a jumping circular orbit, and at 180 degrees (= α4) in a jumping circular orbit. 5 (e, that is, behind the partner character) are shown, but in this example,
The visual field image of the self-character displayed on the screen 5 is continuously changed along the jumping orbit around the opponent character D displayed on the screen.

That is, in this example, as the trajectory rotation angle changes from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (0 to α2), the image of the partner character D seen from the trajectory rotation angle position is displayed on the screen 5 by the polygon drawing method. In addition to the continuous switching display, the image is an image that is rotated from right to 180 degrees (0 to β4) rightward about the partner character displayed on the screen 5. In this example, the self character T
Is rotated to the right (0 to β4) to express that twisting is applied to the right, but twisting in the opposite direction can be similarly expressed.

More specifically, the self-character T (ie, the image displayed on the screen 5) is moved from the position (a) to the position (e) in FIG. In this case, the player character D moves around and moves behind the opponent character D.
The image captured on the front in the field of view is displayed on the screen.
