Description

The present invention relates to a game program, and more particularly to a game program for causing a computer to realize a game for displaying a motion screen of a game character on a monitor. The present invention also relates to a game device and a game control method executed by the game program.

  Conventionally, various games have been proposed. As one of them, a battle video game, for example, a baseball game, in which a player character displayed on a monitor is operated to perform a game is known. In this type of baseball game, a player can select one baseball team to which each player character belongs, and can play against other players or computers that have selected other baseball teams (for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

In such a baseball game, for example, when a batter character hits a home run from a pitcher character, a moving image obtained by shooting the batter character's action at another angle when the home run is hit is replayed. Specifically, when the batter character hits the home run, the situation when the ball object enters the stand is the same as when the ball object enters the stand after the video with the ball object as the point of interest is displayed in real time. A moving image with a gazing point at a batter character by another camera operating in time is replayed. Here, the video of the batter character by another camera operating at the same time as when the batter character hits the home run is replayed. A similar operation screen can be replayed on the monitor.
