INSIGHT VIRTUAL SPORTS - NSOFT
Why do virtual sports strive for a real-life, ultra-realistic feel?
Te technology that drives virtual games is constantly improving. We are in a stage where game engines produce staggeringly realistic 3D graphics and animations, often making it hard to distinguish from the real thing. We in the betting industry are also using this powerful technology to produce the best results for our players.
We do it because we want our game to be as immersive as possible, to provide our players with an environment where they can feel comfortable. It’s how to tell players that a virtual game can be as entertaining as a real game.
What are the latest advancements in NSoft's virtual sports offer?
Besides developing new games like Virtual Penalty Shootout and Virtual Drag Races, we are focused on releasing the second version of our current virtual sports game. New versions of these games will have updated 3D motion and environment, as well as some new features like localised racer names, additional animations and brand new UI. We are also updating our streaming technology to provide a better experience for the players.
NSoft offers two greyhound virtual sports titles - one using CGI and the other real-life footage. Why offer both? Which drives greater engagement with players and does this differ between markets and distribution channel?
We first developed the game with real-life footage and the virtual one came later. We use both versions because different markets show different interests. No matter how close to real our virtual game is, real-life footage performs better, especially in our established markets. It is fair to state that we have more work ahead of us to make our CGI version of the games even better.
We hope to accomplish this with version two. We hope virtual games will come even closer to the real-life version's performance with the release of new models, animations and UI.
NSoft's Greyhound Races combine pre-recorded race footage with an RNG running in the background. In what ways has the technology which combines the two evolved in recent years and what impact has this had on the finished product?
Streaming technology has significantly evolved over the years. From that perspective, the final product is better since it provides adaptive progressive encoding, giving players an acceptable viewing experience no matter how bad their internet connection is.
