As shown in FIG. 3, the game apparatus 10 includes an attack controller 14, a movement controller 16, a CPU 20, a RAM 21, an HDD (hard disk device) 22, an image processing unit 23, a monitor 24 (display device 17), and an audio processing unit 25. , A speaker 26, a card reading / writing device 27, a lamp 28, a coin recognition device 29, a start button 30, and a communication device 31 are provided.

  CPU20 implement | achieves various functions by running the program loaded into RAM21, and runs a game by controlling each part. The CPU 20 executes a multi-play game in which a plurality of players participate simultaneously by executing a game program. In the present embodiment, for example, game data indicating the state of a game played on the communication device 31 or another game device 41 connected through the network 18 is received, and a plurality of players are handled based on the game data. Characters to be played (player characters, enemy characters) are displayed on the game screen representing the game space, and the game is advanced by controlling the movement of each character. It is assumed that the game data includes character information related to characters displayed on the game screen. The character information includes, for example, attribute information indicating the character (soldier) type and the state of the character (such as a life value representing life force) in the game in addition to the character name and team name. Based on the character information, the CPU 20 controls the game while managing the state of the player character during the game, and outputs game data via the communication device 31.

  Further, it is assumed that the game data includes data indicating the position (direction) targeted by the site as an attack target as operation data of the player in the other game devices 41. Based on the relative positional relationship between the player character and the enemy character in the game space when the CPU 20 detects that the enemy character whose movement is controlled targets the player character based on the operation data. Then, an attack prediction display process for adding an attack prediction display indicating the direction of the attack from the enemy character to the game screen is executed.

  In the multiplayer game, not only the character corresponding to the player of the other game device 41 but also a character whose operation is controlled by the CPU 20 according to the game program may exist in the game space. Similarly, when this character gives an attack to the player character, an attack prediction display can be added when it is detected that the player character is aimed as an attack target.

  In addition to the basic program, the RAM 21 stores a game program for executing the game and various data necessary for executing the game. The RAM 21 stores game data (including operation data and attribute information indicating the character state) received through the network 18 and the communication device 31, prediction experience value data (see FIG. 4) used in the attack prediction display process, Predictive display pattern data (see FIG. 5) and the like are stored.

  The HDD 22 stores various programs such as basic programs and game programs and various data.

  The image processing unit 23 performs display control for displaying a game screen under the control of the CPU 20. The monitor 24 (display device 17) displays a game screen under the control of the image processing unit 23.

  Under the control of the CPU 20, the sound processing unit 25 performs sound processing for outputting sound effects, messages, BGM (back ground music) and the like corresponding to the game execution status. The speaker 26 outputs sound such as sound effects, messages, and BGM under the control of the sound processing unit 25.

  The card reading / writing device 27 writes and reads data with respect to a card (for example, an IC card) provided with a recording medium. For the card, for example, data related to the player such as a user ID issued to a player using the game apparatus 10 and data such as a game result are recorded.

In addition, the server 40 transmits game data indicating the status of the game being executed in the game space to the game device, and causes each game device to execute a multiplayer game.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of prediction experience value data managed in the attack prediction display process.
The prediction experience value data is data that is totaled for the player character as the attack prediction display is added to the game screen by the attack prediction display process. The prediction experience value data includes data on a plurality of experience items such as avoidance time, avoidance count, enemy capture time, enemy capture continuation time, attack prediction display count, and so on. The avoidance time is the time required from the time when the enemy is detected by the attack prediction display until it can be avoided. For example, the average time is set. The number of times of evasion is the number of times that the evasion can be avoided after sensing that the enemy is being targeted by the attack prediction display. Enemy capture time is the time taken from sensing that the enemy is targeted by the attack prediction display until supplementing the enemy character trying to attack (displaying the enemy character in the game screen). Average time is set. The enemy supplement duration is the duration after the attack prediction is displayed and the enemy character is supplemented. For example, an average time is set. The attack prediction display count is the number of times the attack prediction display is displayed. The above-mentioned prediction experience value data is an example, and other data may be aggregated as experience values. The prediction level for the player character is calculated by combining the data for a plurality of experience items.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of prediction display pattern data used for attack prediction display.
In the prediction display pattern data, a prediction display pattern used for attack prediction display is set according to the prediction level calculated based on the prediction experience value data. For example, the higher the prediction level, the more accurately the direction (position) aimed by the enemy character can be detected, and a prediction display pattern corresponding to the prediction level is prepared.

  Further, in the prediction display pattern data, not only the prediction display pattern but also additional data to be added according to the prediction level is set. For example, as the prediction level increases, data regarding enemy characters is provided to the player as additional data. The data related to the enemy character includes the type of weapon used by the enemy character and the level of the enemy character. As a method of providing these data to the player, for example, the type and level of weapons may be imaged and displayed together with a predictive display pattern, or may be output by text (characters) or voice. .

Next, the attack prediction display process of the game apparatus 10 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
During execution of the game process, the CPU 20 controls the movement of the player character according to the player's operation on the attack controller 14 and the movement controller 16 during the game process, and the enemy character according to the game data from the other game devices 41. Control the operation. CPU20 displays a player character, an enemy character, etc. according to operation control in the game screen expressing game space.

  During this time, the CPU 20 receives the game data corresponding to the player operation in the game device 41 input via the network 18, and the enemy character in the game space is aimed as an attack target based on this game data. The position, that is, the position (direction) in the game space where the site D is matched in the game apparatus 41 is detected (step A1). When there is an enemy character whose operation is controlled by the CPU 20 according to the program in addition to the enemy character controlled by the player operation in the game apparatus 41, the same applies to the direction that the enemy character is attacking. Shall be detected.

Here, when the position (direction) where the enemy character is aiming matches the player character, that is, when the site is matched with the player character in the game device 41 (step A2, Yes),
FIG. 7 shows an example of the relative positional relationship between the player character and the enemy character in the game space.
In the example shown in FIG. 7, for example, two characters, teammates (mates) A and B, exist in front of the player character. Accordingly, on the game screen (first person screen) representing the game space viewed from the player character, the characters of the teammates A and B are displayed (entering the player character's field of view) as shown in FIG. .

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the enemy character is aiming at the site (aiming) for the player character in order to attack from the right side of the player character. The enemy character is not displayed on the game screen because it does not enter the player character's field of view. Normally, it is not possible to grasp the movement of an enemy character that does not exist in the game screen. However, in the game device 10 in this embodiment, the attack prediction display is displayed on the game screen when a predetermined condition in the attack prediction display processing is satisfied. By adding, it is possible to make the player recognize that the enemy character is aiming.

  CPU20 calculates a player's prediction level based on prediction experience value data (step A4). For example, the prediction level is calculated by a predetermined arithmetic expression based on the values of the plurality of experience items shown in FIG. For example, in the prediction experience value data shown in FIG. 4, the prediction level is higher as the avoidance time and enemy capture time are shorter, and the prediction level is higher as the enemy capture time is longer. As for the number of avoidances and the number of attack prediction displays, the higher the number, the higher the prediction level. Further, the prediction level may be calculated by weighting differently for each experience item, or the data of all the experience items may not be used.

  Here, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the prediction level calculated based on the prediction experience value data is a target level for the attack prediction display (step A4). That is, when the prediction level is lower than the predetermined level, the attack prediction display is not displayed even if the prediction level is aimed by the enemy character. The attack prediction display is made possible by the player character gaining experience in the game.

  In addition, as the prediction level is higher, the attack prediction display is also performed when the game space is aimed by an enemy character far from the player character. In this case, it is assumed that the correspondence between the prediction level and the distance between the player character and the enemy character that are targets of attack prediction display is set in advance. The CPU 20 compares the distance set for the prediction level of the current player character with the distance to the enemy character aiming at the player character, and determines whether or not the target is an attack prediction display target.

  When the CPU 20 determines that the prediction level is the target of the attack prediction display (step A4, Yes), the CPU 20 calculates an attack prediction display pattern corresponding to the prediction level (step A5). The CPU 20 uses the prediction display pattern corresponding to the prediction level set in the prediction display pattern data, and based on the relative positional relationship between the player character and the enemy character in the game space, the direction of the attack from the enemy character An attack prediction display pattern to be added to the game screen is generated. For this reason, as the game process progresses and the player character's prediction level (experience value data) changes, the attack prediction display pattern is changed. Specific examples of the attack prediction display pattern added to the game screen will be described later (FIGS. 9 to 11).

  The CPU 20 measures the time after detecting that the player character is aimed at the enemy character. Then, it is determined whether a predetermined time corresponding to the prediction level has passed in the state targeted by the enemy character, that is, whether the time necessary for activating the attack prediction display has elapsed. For example, as the prediction level is higher, the attack prediction display is made in a stage where the targeted time is shorter.

  If the site for the player character by the enemy character is removed before the predetermined time corresponding to the prediction level elapses (step A7, Yes), the CPU 20 determines that the attack prediction display is no longer necessary.

  On the other hand, when the time targeted by the enemy character has passed a certain time corresponding to the prediction level (step A6, Yes), the CPU 20 adds the attack prediction display pattern generated in step A5 to the game screen (step A8). ).

  The player operating the player character can know that the enemy character is targeted as an attack target by the attack prediction display before the enemy character actually attacks. Moreover, even if the enemy character is not displayed on the game screen, the attack prediction display is performed, so that the enemy character is present nearby (the range that can be detected depends on the prediction level), and the direction thereof can also be recognized.

  When the CPU 20 detects that the player character is aimed by the enemy character as described above until the game process is completed (step A9), the CPU 20 displays an attack prediction display pattern according to the player character's prediction level. To do.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the game screen on which the attack prediction is displayed.
The attack prediction display shown in FIG. 9 represents that the player character is aimed by an enemy character that is not displayed in the game screen shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, since the enemy character is on the right side of the player character, an attack prediction display pattern 50 in which light runs from the right to the left of the game screen is displayed so as to express that the player character is attacking from the right side. Yes.

  If the enemy character is targeted from the left side of the player character, an attack prediction display pattern that runs from the left to the right of the game screen is displayed. If it is aimed from the top to the bottom of the screen or afterwards, an attack prediction display pattern that runs from the bottom to the top of the game screen is displayed.

  In the attack prediction display pattern shown in FIG. 9, since the prediction level is low, the four directions of front, rear, left and right are used as the direction of attack, but the attack prediction display pattern is expressed in detail so that the target direction is expressed in detail as the prediction level is higher. Append.

  Further, the attack prediction display pattern 50 shown in FIG. 9 displays the game screen so that light runs in accordance with the direction aimed by the enemy character, but the player can recognize the aimed direction. If possible, it can be displayed in other forms.

FIG. 10 shows an example of a game screen on which another form of attack prediction display is performed.
The player character is not displayed on the game screen of the first person screen. For this reason, in the form of the attack prediction display shown in FIG. 9, it is impossible to express which part of the player character is aimed by the enemy character. In order to cope with this, the CPU 20 uses the form shown in FIG. 10 in order to express which part of the player character is aimed by the enemy character, with the prediction level higher than the predetermined level. Performs attack prediction display.

  In the example of the game screen shown in FIG. 10, an object corresponding to the player character is temporarily displayed when the attack prediction display is performed. Hereinafter, this object is referred to as an alternative player display 51.

  The alternative player display 51 shown in FIG. 10 has a semi-transparent spherical shape, for example, and displays the position targeted by the enemy character on the surface by an attack prediction display pattern 52 different from other parts. By making the alternative player display 51 translucent, it is possible to express the direction aimed by the enemy character from all directions without significantly hindering the visual recognition of the original game screen. The attack prediction display pattern 52 shown in FIG. 10 indicates that the player character is aiming from an almost horizontal direction diagonally right behind the player character. By making the display color of the part where the center position of the site D is matched by the enemy character the darkest and making the display color lighter away from the part, the detailed position being targeted can be recognized intuitively Yes. It is also possible to use another display pattern.

  Note that the alternative player display 51 and the attack prediction display pattern 52 are displayed only for a predetermined time (the display time may be changed according to the prediction level), or an action (change of view, movement, etc.) on the player character is performed. It can be displayed until instructed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 10, the semi-transparent spherical substitute player display 51 is displayed. However, an object having another shape can be displayed as the substitute player display 51.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the game screen on which the attack prediction display is displayed on the third person screen.
Among the games that perform battles, there are games that display a third person screen as shown in FIG. 11 as well as those that display a first person screen as shown in FIGS.

  When displaying the third person screen, the CPU 20 adds the attack prediction display pattern 55 directly to the player character F in the game screen. The attack prediction display pattern 55 shown in FIG. 11 is an example in which the center position of the site D is adjusted by the enemy character from the rear side of the player character's right arm. In the same manner as the attack prediction display pattern 52 shown in FIG. The display color of the portion where D is combined is the darkest, and the display color is lightened as the distance from the portion is increased.

  In this way, when displaying the third person screen, by directly adding the attack prediction display pattern 55 to the player character F, the position and direction aimed by the enemy character can be recognized in detail. it can.

  It should be noted that the attack prediction display pattern 55 on the third person screen shown in FIG. 11 is usually displayed in a game displaying the first person screen by switching the game screen from the first person screen to the third person screen only when displaying the attack prediction. good.

  In the above description, the attack prediction display pattern is changed according to the prediction level. However, not only the pattern but also the color, the size of the pattern, and the movement may be changed.

Next, the update of the prediction experience value data will be described.
The number of times of attack prediction display included in the prediction experience value data is automatically updated (+1) when the attack display processing is performed in the attack prediction display processing.

  Further, regarding the avoidance time, the number of avoidances, the enemy capture time, and the enemy capture duration included in the prediction experience value data, the CPU 20 responds to the attack prediction display when the player performs a predetermined operation on the player character. Update to

  For example, the enemy capture time is the time taken from sensing that the enemy is targeted by the attack prediction display until supplementing the enemy character to be attacked (displaying the enemy character on the game screen). . The CPU 20 displays the attack prediction and starts measuring the time. After that, whether the enemy character aimed at the player character is displayed on the game screen by the operation of the attack controller 14 and the movement controller 16 by the player ( Whether the player character has entered the field of view. When the CPU 20 determines that the enemy character is displayed on the game screen within a predetermined time, the CPU 20 determines the enemy supplement time data based on the elapsed time since the attack prediction display that was measured. Update. Here, the enemy capture time is the average value, and the average value is calculated from the measured elapsed time and the time indicated by the enemy capture time data recorded so far, and the latest enemy capture time is shown. Remember as.

  Similarly for the avoidance time and the enemy supplement duration, the data is updated according to the operation result for the player character. As for the number of avoidances, for example, if the player is moving the player character after detecting that it is being targeted by the enemy, for example, by displaying the attack prediction, the situation where the target is targeted within a predetermined time can be avoided. Update (+1).

  While executing the game process, the CPU 20 continuously updates the prediction experience value data as described above. Therefore, as the game progresses, the experience value of the player character changes, and the prediction level also changes accordingly. The attack prediction display changes the attack prediction display pattern according to the prediction level. For example, as the experience value increases, the attack prediction display that is more advantageous for the player character will be displayed and the game will be superior to the game. Can be used.

  In the above description, only the display is described, but a sound indicating that the site is targeted when the site is matched by an enemy character may be output. In this case, in the same manner as described above, it is determined whether or not to output a sound according to the player's predicted experience level, and when the sound is output, a type of sound corresponding to the predicted experience level is output. You may make it do. For example, for a player with a high prediction experience level, a sound that clearly recognizes that the enemy character is aiming is output, and for a player with a low prediction experience level, a sound that can be heard faintly Can be output.
