[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an operation method of a game device and a game device using the operation method.
[0002]
[Background Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 12, a game device of a type in which a game controller 900 provided in a main body device 920 operates a display object displayed on a display 922 to enjoy a game is known. Taking a baseball game as an example, the player operates the batter game character 924 or the pitcher game character 926 and the like, and the batter game character 924 strikes the ball 930 thrown from the pitcher game character 926 with the bat 928 to play the game. have fun. According to this game device, the player can feel as if he / she is actually playing baseball, and is therefore very popular as a game.
[0003]
In this game apparatus, for example, when a player sends a ball to a desired basket (base), an operation such as pressing the pitch button 904 is performed after the player designates the basket with the cross key 902. At this time, the pitching button 904 has only a function as a selection button for determining whether or not to perform pitching, and the operation amount of the pitching button 904 is not taken into consideration. Therefore, the player can reliably send the ball to the desired basket as long as the player pushes the ball throw button 904. As a result, the difference in pitching skills that should exist among players in actual baseball is expressed. I could not. For this reason, it was impossible to increase the realism and tension of the game.
[0004]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to perform an operation that can reflect an operation amount input from an operation unit in a moving state of a display object. It is to provide a method and a game device.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention is an operation method of a game apparatus using a given operation means, and a plurality of operation amount ranges for dividing an operation amount range input by the operation means When the operation amount belongs to any of the operation amount ranges other than the range in which the operation amount is minimum and the maximum range in the operation amount range, the movement trajectory is the shortest or the movement speed is maximum or movement The information for setting the moving state of the display object is changed according to the operation amount range to which the input operation amount belongs, so that the accuracy is maximized.
[0006]
According to the present invention, for example, first to fifth operation amount ranges are set for dividing the operation amount range. When the operation amount input by the operation unit belongs to the operation amount range set near the middle, for example, the third operation amount range, information for setting the movement state of the display object such as a ball (movement trajectory, (Moving speed, moving accuracy, etc.) are optimized. A player with an excellent operation skill can easily keep the operation amount within the third operation amount range which is the middle range. On the other hand, the operation amount of a player with inferior operation skill often belongs to, for example, the first and fifth operation amount ranges. Therefore, according to the present invention, a player with excellent operating skill can optimize the moving state of the display object, while a player with poor operating skill has difficulty in optimizing the moving state. As a result, for example, when the present invention is applied to a baseball game pitching, the player's operation skill can be reflected in the superiority of the pitching, and the realism, tension and fun of the game can be significantly improved.
[0007]
The present invention is also a game device operation method performed using a given operation means, wherein the operation means is operated in a plurality of operation amount ranges that divide the operation amount ranges input by the operation means. The division is set so as to change according to the game situation at the time, and the information for setting the movement state of the display object is changed according to the operation amount range to which the input operation amount belongs.
[0008]
According to the present invention, the division of the operation amount range changes according to the game situation. For example, when the first to fifth operation amount ranges are set as the operation amount range, for example, the setting position of the third operation amount range changes between the first game situation and the second game situation. To do. Thus, in order to optimize the moving state of the display object, the player has to finely adjust the amount of operation according to the change in the game situation. Therefore, according to the present invention, the operation skill of the player can be more reflected in the game result, and the realism of the game can be improved.
[0009]
In this case, in the present invention, it is desirable to change the classification according to the approximate distance of the display object to the movement target position. In this way, if the present invention is applied to a baseball game using an operation button as an operation means, an operation amount range between a case where the pitching distance to the basket that is the movement target position is short and a case where it is long. The classification of will change. For example, when the pitching distance is long, if the range of operation amount is shifted in a direction in which the operation button is pressed deeper, the amount of operation will correspond to the size of the force of throwing in real baseball. Can increase the realism of the game.
[0010]
The present invention is also a method for operating a game device using a given operation means, wherein a plurality of operation amount ranges for dividing the operation amount range input by the operation means are set, and the display object is moved. The information for setting the state is changed according to an operation amount range to which the input operation amount belongs and a time until the operation amount reaches a value within the operation amount range.
[0011]
According to the present invention, the movement state of the display object is controlled in consideration of not only the operation amount range but also the time to reach the operation amount range. A player with excellent operation skill can more accurately and quickly fit the operation amount within the appropriate operation amount range. Therefore, according to the present invention, the difference in the player's operation skill can be more effectively reflected in the game result.
[0012]
In the present invention, it is desirable that the operation means is an operation button in which the magnitude of the operation amount is set by the magnitude of the pressed depth. In this way, it becomes possible to give a new function to an operation button that has conventionally only had a selection function or the like. In other words, taking a baseball game as an example, the ball-throwing button has conventionally only had a function for determining the timing of ball-throwing, but according to the present invention, for example, the force of the ball-throwing button is pressed by the ball-throwing button. The depth can be expressed by the magnitude of the depth, and the real feeling of the game can be greatly increased.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
FIG. 1 shows an example of a functional block diagram of a game apparatus that can realize the operation method of this embodiment. Here, the operation unit 12 corresponds to a game controller if a home game device is taken as an example, and operation information obtained by the operation unit 12 is input to the processing unit 100. Based on this operation information and a given program, the processing unit 100 performs calculations for operating display objects such as game characters, balls, and bats. The image composition unit 200 synthesizes a game image in accordance with an instruction from the processing unit 100 and outputs it to the display unit 10.
[0015]
FIG. 2A shows an example of a game controller that is the operation unit 12. The direction key 14 is used for designating the course of the ball when the pitcher throws the ball, designating the heel when throwing the ball, designating the direction of moving the fielder, and the like. The operation button group 16 determines the timing at which the pitcher throws the ball, the timing at which the batter swings the bat, the timing at which the fielder throws and catches the ball, and the like.
[0016]
In this embodiment, the magnitude of the operation amount is set by the magnitude of the depth d at which the operation button 18 is pressed. That is, for example, when the pressed depth d is large, the operation amount increases, and when d is small, the operation amount decreases. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the trajectory / accuracy and the like of the pitching change depending on the magnitude of the operation amount. Note that the operation amount may be input using a button other than the operation button 18, for example, the L and R buttons 20 and 22.
[0017]
FIG. 2B shows another example of the game controller used in this embodiment. In this game controller, the gripping portion 34 having the direction key 24 and the L button 30 and the gripping portion 36 having the operation buttons 27 and 28 and the R button 32 are relative to each other via a rotation connecting means (not shown). It can be rotated. As shown in FIG. 2C, the player performs the operation by grasping the gripping portion 34 with the left hand and the gripping portion 36 with the right hand and relatively rotating the gripping portions 34 and 36 so as to twist them. The rotation angle is detected by angle detection means (not shown) using a rotary variable resistor or the like. Therefore, it is also possible to input this rotation angle to the processing unit 100 as an operation amount.
[0018]
In this embodiment, the operation amount range setting unit 110 shown in FIG. 1 sets a plurality of operation amount ranges that divide the operation amount range input by the operation unit 12. Then, the movement state setting information changing unit 112 changes information for setting the movement state of a display object such as a ball, bat, or game character in accordance with an operation amount range to which the input operation amount belongs. Specifically, for example, the following processing is performed.
[0019]
That is, as shown in the division 40 of FIG. 3A, the operation amount range is divided into first to fifth operation amount ranges 42 to 49, for example. Here, the operation amount corresponds to the depth d pressed by the operation button 18 as described above. More specifically, the range excluding the play range of the operation button 18 (the range of 0 to 19 and the range of 192 to 256 in 256 steps) is divided into 64 steps as shown in FIG. The ranges of 0 to 8 steps, 8 to 15 steps, 15 to 30 steps, 30 to 40 steps, and 40 to 64 steps are respectively the first operation amount range 42, the second operation amount range 44, and the third operation amount range. The operation amount range 46, the fourth operation amount range 48, and the fifth operation amount range 49 are set.
[0020]
In this embodiment, information for setting the movement state of the display object, for example, the movement trajectory / movement speed, movement accuracy, etc. of the display object is changed according to the operation amount range to which the operation amount belongs. For example, when the depth d of the operation button 18 is 0 to 8 and the operation amount belongs to the first operation amount range 42, in this embodiment, it is determined that a weak pitch B is made. Then, the ball trajectory is set to be a mountain ball C as shown in FIG. 3B with a probability of 100%.
[0021]
On the other hand, when the depth d of the operation button 18 is 8 to 15 steps and the operation amount belongs to the second operation amount range 44, it is determined that the weak pitch A has been made, and each of the mountain balls has a probability of 50%. The trajectory of the ball is set so as to be A and mountain ball B. Similarly, when the manipulated variable belongs to the third manipulated variable range 46, it is determined that a good pitch B has been made, and the trajectory of the ball is set so as to be a mountain ball A and a straight ball with a probability of 50% respectively. If the manipulated variable belongs to the fourth manipulated variable range 48, it is determined that the right throw A has been made, and the ball trajectory is set to be a straight ball with a probability of 100%. Further, when the operation amount belongs to the fifth operation amount range 49, it is determined that a throwing force has been made, and there is a probability of 33%, 33%, and 34% of the foot short bound, short bound, and overhead ball, respectively. Set to be.
[0022]
For example, when the ball trajectory becomes a short bounce or an overhead ball, the trajectory of the ball 60 displayed on the game screen or the action of the game character 62 catching the ball is changed as shown in FIG. To do. In addition, for example, when the ball becomes a mountain ball, the time until the ball reaches the basket to which the ball is sent is increased.
[0023]
As described above, the first feature of the present embodiment is that a plurality of operation amount ranges are set, and the movement state of the display object is changed according to the operation amount range to which the operation amount belongs. In addition, in this embodiment, the ball movement state is optimal in the fourth operation amount range 48 which is a range other than the first operation amount range 42 where the operation amount is minimum and the fifth operation amount range 49 where the operation amount is maximum. (For example, the trajectory is the shortest in a straight ball). Thus, by providing a range where the pitching is optimal near the middle of the depth d, it is possible to reflect the operational skill of the game possessed by each player in the pitching technique. In other words, a player with an excellent operation skill can apply an appropriate force when throwing a ball, and the depth of the operation button can be easily accommodated in the fourth operation amount range 48. For this reason, it is possible to send a ball in a straight ball and to quickly stab an enemy runner. On the other hand, a player who is inferior in the operation skill often becomes tense at the time of pitching and receives no force, or conversely, an extremely strong force is applied, and the depth of the operation button is also in the first and second operation amount ranges 42. 44 and the fifth operation amount range 49 in many cases. Therefore, in this case, it becomes a mountain ball, or the ball becomes a short bounce or an overhead ball, and the enemy runner cannot be stabbed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, an operation feeling close to an actual baseball pitching feeling can be obtained, so that the realism and tension of the game can be remarkably improved.
[0024]
Further, in this embodiment, the division of the operation amount range changes in accordance with the game situation when the operation button is operated, for example, the situation such as the distance between the fielder and the baseball that sends the ball. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation is performed according to the division 40 when the pitching distance, which is the distance to the target movement position (塁) of the ball, is 0 to 10 m, and the division 50 when the ball is 10 to 15 m. The amount range setting is different. That is, in the case of the division 50 (10 to 15 m), the fourth operation amount range 58, which is the range in which the ball trajectory is optimal, is more downward (operation) than the division 40 (0 to 10 m). Shift in the direction of deeper button press). Therefore, the player has to press the operation button deeper as the pitching distance becomes longer. Thereby, the depth of pressing of the operation button, which is the operation amount, can be made to correspond to the force required for pitching, and the realism of the game can be increased. Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, in the present embodiment, the fourth operation amount range 48 (and the third operation amount range 46) becomes narrower as the pitching distance becomes longer. As a result, the longer the pitching distance, the higher the difficulty of throwing a good pitch, making it possible to bring the expressed world closer to real baseball.
[0025]
5A and 5B show examples of table data for setting the operation amount range shown in FIG. 3A. FIG. 5A is table data for setting a division of an operation amount range (depth stage) for each pitch distance. FIG. 5B is table data for setting the appearance probability of the pitching type (trajectory) for each operation amount range (depth stage). In the present embodiment, table data having such a data structure is constructed on a memory in the apparatus, and the various processes described above are performed.
[0026]
In the present embodiment, not only the operation amount range but also the time required for the operation amount to reach the value of the operation amount range to which the input operation amount belongs is changed, and the movement trajectory, movement speed, movement accuracy, etc. are changed. It is carried out.
[0027]
More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the right / left blur probability (ball movement accuracy) of the pitching is changed according to the time until the operation amount range (depth stage) is reached. FIG. 7A shows table data corresponding to the weak pitch B shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the pushing speed (speed until the manipulated variable reaches the first manipulated variable range) is 0 inter (when pushed most quickly), the degree of blur is 0. The probability that (the least blur) is 89%, the probability that the degree of blur is 1 is 5%, and the probability that the degree of blur is 2 to 7 is 1%. On the other hand, in the case of 9 Inter where the operation button is pressed most recently, the probability that the degree of blurring is 0 decreases from 89% to 80%. That is, according to the present embodiment, the faster the operation button is pressed, the higher the movement accuracy of the ball. It is considered that a player with excellent game operation skills can press an operation button so as to reach a desired operation amount range sooner. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, a player who has a better game operation skill can perform a more accurate pitching, and can increase the realism of the game.
[0028]
FIG. 7B is table data corresponding to the perfect pitch A shown in FIG. In this embodiment, when the operation button is pressed at a sufficient depth and the operation amount is in the fourth operation amount range, the degree of shake is 0 with a probability of 100% regardless of the pressing speed, and the operation skill is reduced. Benefits are given to excellent players. FIG. 8 shows table data corresponding to the pitching with the force shown in FIG. When force is applied, the movement accuracy of the ball is considered to be low, so that the overall ball shake is set to be large.
[0029]
FIGS. 6, 7 </ b> A, 7 </ b> B, and 8 show examples in which the pitching distance is 0 to 10 m. Table data is prepared.
[0030]
Next, an example of the operation of this embodiment will be briefly described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether or not an operation button for instructing a ball has been input (step S1). If not, the next inter-waiting is waited (step S8). On the other hand, if it is input, it is determined whether or not there is a basket to be thrown (step S2), and if not, the next inter-waiting is waited (step S8). When the kite to be pitched is identified, the “throwing distance” between the identified kite and the fielder to be pitched is determined (step S3). Next, for example, operation information (pressed depth and time) of operation buttons for 10 inters is stored on a given memory (step S4). And based on the operation information for these 10 inters, the “depth” when the operation button is pressed most deeply among the 10 inters, and the “time” required to reach this “depth” Is obtained (step S5). Next, on the basis of the “throwing distance” obtained in step S3 and the “depth” and “time” obtained in step S5, the movement trajectory and the movement accuracy are obtained from the table data preliminarily built in the memory. Etc. are obtained (step S6). Based on the obtained information, the trajectory of the ball displayed on the screen, the movement of the game character, etc. are determined and output to the display unit (step S7).

[0038]
The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made.
[0039]
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the operation button has been described as an example of the operation means for inputting the operation amount. Although the operation amount range has been set to the operation buttons that have been used as simple timing selection means so far, the present invention has a major feature. However, the operation means of the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation buttons are not limited thereto. Various operation means equivalent to buttons can be used. For example, in FIGS. 2B and 2C, the operation amount range may be set with the rotation angle input from the game controller as the operation amount from the operation means.
[0040]
In the above-described embodiment, the ball in the baseball game is described as an example of the display object whose movement state is controlled. However, the display object to which the present invention is applied is not limited to this. For example, the present invention is applicable to various display objects displayed in other games other than sports games, such as a bat in a baseball game, a game character, an arm / foot of a game character, or a ball in another sports game. is there.
[0041]
In the above embodiment, the movement state setting information has been described by taking as an example the case of directly changing the movement trajectory, movement accuracy, etc. of the ball. However, various equivalents can be considered. For example, in the present embodiment, the following method is used to express the rebound (bounce) of the ball by the bat as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), for each position of the bat 70, return vectors 72, 74, 76 and the like corresponding to the respective positions are set. The direction of hitting the ball is determined by the direction information of the hit vectors 72, 74, and 76, and the speed of hitting the ball is determined by the size information. When such a method is adopted, for example, an operation amount range is set to the operation amount of the swing button. When the manipulated variable range to which the manipulated variable belongs is optimal, for example, the magnitudes of the strike vectors 72 to 76 are maximized. In this way, the higher the operation skill of the player, the longer the ball can be thrown. Further, for example, as the time until the operation amount reaches the operation amount range is earlier, the direction of the strike vectors 72 to 76 is made to be more perpendicular to the bat. That is, even when the bat 70 is in the state of C0 in FIG. 11B, the hitting vectors 72 to 76 are set to be perpendicular to the bat. In this way, the higher the operating skill of the player, the more accurately the direction of the hit ball can be controlled. Further, it is possible to control the width of the bat thin range 78 (the range in which the magnitude of the hitting vector is the largest) according to the operation amount range.
[0042]
In the above embodiment, the game situation for changing the division of the operation amount range is described by taking the situation of the throwing distance to the bowl where the ball is thrown as an example. However, the game situation of the present invention is not limited to this. Various equivalents can be adopted. For example, the division of the operation amount range may be changed in accordance with the game situation such as the direction of pitching, the position of the fielder throwing the ball, and the wind. In addition, when the present invention is applied to a bat swing, the range of operation amount ranges according to the game situation such as the speed / change of the ball thrown by the pitcher, the position of the ball on the home base, and the height of the bat to be swung out. May be changed.
[0043]
In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a baseball game has been described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to other sports games such as soccer, tennis, table tennis, golf, and basketball, or tank games other than sports games. It can be applied to various games such as airplane games, martial arts games, role plane games, and action games. For example, in an action game in which a game character jumps to avoid an obstacle, for example, if an operation amount range is set for the jump button, the fun of the action game can be significantly improved.
[0044]
In the above-described embodiment, the explanation has been given mainly using a home game device as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to a home game device, but also a business game device and a large attraction type game device in which a large number of players participate. Etc. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to a multimedia terminal having a function of playing a game with another player using a communication line or the like. Furthermore, the present invention is naturally applicable to what is called a so-called three-dimensional game device. In this case, game characters, balls, bats, and the like are represented by, for example, objects composed of combinations of polygons, and object position / direction information in the object space (virtual three-dimensional space) is real-time for each inter. Calculate. Then, a view field image that can be seen from a given viewpoint position in the object space may be formed and output to the display unit.
