Hearing her boyfriend mention the "fresh meat version of the bright sword", Zhang Huan laughed out loud very unvividly.

"Although I am also a post-95 generation, this drama was not filmed for me. ”

Fang Junqi was receiving water and casually answered: "It's not filmed for me, the restoration of history is not as good as a game." ”

The game he is talking about, of course, refers to the "Bright Sword 2017" he is playing, which is created by Beegame SOS Studio.

Bee You launched the "77 yuan special pre-order, early access to the new bright sword" limited-time event on July 7th, Fang Junqi jumped into the pit and added one, and waited until the new version was launched on August 1st, he could enter without activation as a pre-order player, and soon became addicted to killing devils and couldn't extricate himself, and his free time was spent on it, and even the frequency of rolling sheets was reduced a lot.

Zhang Wan pursed her mouth dissatisfiedly, "The game is the same, all kinds of people are added and all kinds of magic changes." Hang up to increase strength, kill people and pick up equipment, repair machines with bare hands, steal tanks alone, more versatile than Bond, is this still Li Yunlong?"

Fang Junqi brought a water cup and put it in front of his girlfriend, patted her and persuaded: "It's just a game, if you are serious, you will lose." 'New Bright Sword' did not change the protagonist and change the plot, and already respects the original work. ”

"The TV series is really pitted," was recalled by him, Zhang Huan also complained: "05's 'Bright Sword 1' only filmed the first half, and 11's 'Bright Sword 2' remade the first half again, this year's 'Bright Sword 3' is even more ruthless, directly get a handsome guy head 'Wang Yunshan' out, and the story line is also newly made." The 'Future Soldiers' and 'Star Wars' in the back should not have anything to do with Li Yunlong. ”

"Of course," Fang Junqi couldn't help but say a fair word for the film and television company, "It's not easy to make TV, the subject matter is too dark and no one will watch it." In the original book, Li Yunlong's ending was to shoot himself in a general's dress and stain his blood-stained medal, his wife Tian Yu committed suicide by cutting his wrists, Ding Wei didn't know what to do, Zhao Gang committed suicide with his wife, and the main characters were Kong Jie and Chu Yunfei who were still alive, how could people shoot it?

"The original book was written in order to elevate the idea, and many classics ended in tragedy. Li Yunlong finally showed his sword to Ma Tiansheng, "A soldier has no habit of handing over his weapon, unless he dies", "I, Li Yunlong, don't like to be at the mercy of others, no one can do it", "My skull is relatively hard", and his last words are very hard and classic, but they are too miserable. The main drama can do this for the sake of art and for the sake of winning awards, but if the commercial TV series dares to do this, the TV station will definitely refuse to buy it and not broadcast it, even if the director of the TV station is confused, the audience will vote with the remote control. ”

"'Daming Dynasty 1566' has heard of it, right?, a domestic conscience drama with a bean score of 9.6 points, because it is too serious and too gloomy, the ratings were only 0.5% when it premiered in 07, and it suddenly woke up Mango Channel, which bought out the exclusive broadcast rights, 'It turns out that the audience doesn't like to watch serious dramas, so let's continue to make idol dramas'. Mango Channel started its own 'Let's Watch the Thundershower' in 08, and the ratings of the premiere in 09 were 2.38%, which is not as good as 'Xiansan' and 'Latent', but it is also the champion in idol dramas. Even now, the rebroadcast of this drama during the day often gets the first place in the ratings of the same period, this is the power of Tianlei idol drama!"

After saying three paragraphs in one breath, Fang Junqi was still a little unsatisfied, and looked at his girlfriend to add: "If I'm not mistaken, you just watched 'Thundershower' the day before yesterday." ”

This matter is true, Zhang Ping immediately blushed a little, but he still defended: "It was windy and rainy that day, and I was bored, so I watched TV casually to pass the time." And I didn't watch it for long, and when the ad came out, I turned it off. ”

Fang Junqi waved his hand, "No need to explain, watching thunder dramas is not illegal." ”

These words stabbed Zhang Ping's heart to anger, secretly thinking about "stable aura", she turned her head to look at her boyfriend who was sitting still, and asked, "What are you doing just talking, why don't you play?"

Pointing to the tank on the screen, Fang Junqi explained: "It takes 30 minutes to modify the bean chariot, and you can play a new level when you finish it." Let the devil also see the power of the tank. ”

Hearing this, the girl immediately expressed her disdain: "What kind of tank is the bean chariot? It is not as big as a car, the turret cannot be turned, and there is only one machine gun in it." It's just weak, and you're woody?"

"The firepower of the original bean chariot is indeed very weak," Fang Junqi did not deny this, "but this is where people are shrewd and scheming." There are generally no good roads in Asian countries, and if you really want to get a heavy chariot with thick armor and artillery, you will have to get stuck in the mud if you can't go far. Before the appearance of the American and Soviet tanks, the Bean chariot was invincible all over East Asia. ”

Zhang Huan was not very interested in military history, and quickly changed to a question of interest, "By the way, what is this game all about?" It feels like a mix of several games, Red Alert, Call of Duty, and World of Tanks. ”

Li Yunlong is an independent regimental commander who commands eight battalions of thousands of people, and his story is well suited to an RTS (real-time strategy) game with a story campaign like Warcraft.

However, there are two problems that are hard to refuse, one is that too many soldiers will eat up the performance of the computer like crazy, and it will also make the player scramble. On the other hand, today's players usually use mobile games to pass the fragmented time, and go on adventures in different time and space with the RPG protagonist on weekends and holidays, so they have no time or energy to practice operating RTS.

Bee You didn't want to go against the tide, so he handed over the "New Bright Sword" project to the SOS Strong Oxidant Studio with "Shooting Genes".

"That's right, it's been declining for a long time, and even Blizzard's father can't save it, so Bee You has to save the country. ”

Looking up at the girl beside him, Fang Junqi said with a smile: "Just like you said, SOS has a very big brain, they didn't copy the Call of Duty in its entirety, but became a freak of strategic and tactical fusion. The single-player combat and story of 'New Bright Sword' are similar to Call of Duty, the vehicle system is similar to a full-featured simulation game, the character system is somewhat like an RPG web game, and the strategic command system is a simplified version of Raid 3. You can switch the strategic mode at any time to deploy troops, which is also the biggest innovation of the game, and solves the 'micro-operation quagmire' of RTS in one fell swoop. ”

Relying on a diverse and balanced class design, Blizzard's "StarCraft" and "Warcraft 3" brought RTS to the pinnacle and became the most popular e-sports event at the time.

However, "e-sports" has also brought the game ecology into the quagmire of niche hardcore, and the strict numerical balance has limited the imagination of designers, resulting in a gradual loss of entertainment. Players gradually found that if they want to play SC and AR3 well, they not only need strong awareness and tactics, but also memorize various routines and practice hand speed micro-exercises, and they are embarrassed to say that they are RTS players without an effective APM (keystrokes per minute) of 100 or even 200.

As the difficulty of getting started is getting higher and the fun is getting less and less, mainstream players will naturally be afraid to transfer, first to Dota, which supports a hero, has lower hand speed requirements, and can also be multiplayer online, and then goes to the more friendly LOL and even MOBA mobile games, completely forgetting the orthodox RTS.

In view of this, the strategic mode of "New Bright Sword" is very simple and straightforward, abandoning the traditional flow of climbing technology to build troops, and the level begins to directly equip the soldiers, players only need to specify strategic objectives, and NPC subordinates will choose the appropriate tactics by themselves, and there is no need to stare at each soldier in every detail like the "raid" class World War II RTS or the principal, and the requirements for speed and micro-manipulation are thus minimized. In the hands of a "simple player" like Fang Junqi, the strategic mode has become a supplement to the RPG mode, and the protagonist is used to work alone in the front, and he feels that he is struggling and then recruits a wave of troops to take him away, and it is easy to complete the level if he does not deliberately pursue no injury.

It is worth mentioning that Fireglo Games, the Russian studio that developed the "Raid" series, suffered bankruptcy in 2011, and then was acquired by Bee Game, which is eager for famous IPs, and merged with other small Russian studios to form a new FG.

The first thing the latter did after the reorganization was to release updated patches for "Raid 2" and "Raid 3", in addition to the usual bug modifiers, access to the Bee Battle.net, and unexpectedly blocked the Axis camp, players could only use British, American and Soviet forces in the campaign mode. This move caused a lot of controversy at the time, and anti-war people naturally sang praises and recognized the contribution of the new FG to the cause of "anti-war and anti-aggression", but the old players were very angry, and some even threatened to boycott all products of Bee You and even Bee.

However, RTS is outdated after all, and the protests and boycotts of a small number of die-hard players have not played much role, and FG still uses the technical support of Beegame to make a new expansion pack for "Raid 3". The new version has replaced the 3D engine, the stability of the program has been greatly improved, the difficulty of operation has been significantly reduced, and the more beautiful graphics have quickly made old players turn to praise, known as "the best World War II RTS".

"Raid 3.5" still blocks the Axis faction, but it does not prohibit players from "capturing" and using enemy units in the story campaign, and even strengthens this aspect of the content, encouraging players to fight and fight stronger and stronger. There are several foreign aides from FG in the development team of "New Bright Sword", so Fang Junqi can steal tanks and attack the barracks in the game.

Seeing him boasting with a smug face, Zhang Huan couldn't help but splash a basin of cold water, "Don't talk so dead, the game hasn't been released yet! Hehe, RPG and RTS are integrated, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of it, and I won't please both ends." ”

Learning from someone's tone just now, she said in a thick voice: "If I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to have cut the strategic mode a few times, it's all up to the minions to fight by themselves, and it is entirely the credit of the simple mode to win." Changed to the standard difficulty, you have to kneel at a time. ”

"That's not necessarily," was despised by his girlfriend in person, Fang Junqi immediately couldn't bear it, grabbed the mouse to switch to the plot campaign mode, turned his head and shouted at her: "Don't talk about the standard difficulty, even if it's historical difficulty, I can still play." ”

In front of Zhang Ping, he manually switched the historical difficulty and started the game from the first level.

The plot and battle are basically copied from the TV series, and the first level is also the Cangyunling anti-encirclement battle. More than 1,000 people of Sakata Nobuzhe's wing surrounded the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and Li Yunlong, a new regiment, was ordered to lead his troops to defend.

The game is loaded, and Li Yunlong's back appears on the screen. Fang Junqi switched to strategic mode and arranged for his troops to defend in place. But he led a platoon of soldiers to the commanding heights next to him.

"Is this the end?" asked Zhang Ping curiously.

"Of course," Fang Junqi stared at the screen with his eyes and said without looking back: "I am the regiment commander and not the squad leader, I only need to set the big goal and direction, and the rest of the things are naturally to be worried about by the brigade commander, company commander, and platoon commander." ”

As soon as the words fell, he had already led the soldiers up a cliff, switched out of the binoculars and looked at the opposite side, just in time to see the roof of the shelter of the enemy's temporary headquarters.

Nodding with satisfaction, Brother Qi connected the mouse with a button, and a row of Type 89 grenadiers quickly appeared in front of him, but they were the stock of the previous battles. As soon as he was greeted, his soldiers stepped forward in groups of twos to operate the cannons, and he himself crouched behind a grenadier.

The grenadier is a mortar, and the ballistic arc is large and the hit rate is low, but the numerical advantage makes up for this weakness, and the opposite command is quickly covered with artillery fire, and a series of prompts appear on the screen: "Kill the enemy commander Nobutsu Sakata, kill the enemy staff ......".

Seeing that someone was using equipment to eat his opponent, Zhang Ping naturally wanted to protest: "You are cheating!"

Fang Junqi shrugged his shoulders and threw the pot to SOS safely, "That's how the game is designed, and the equipment obtained in the level is also my strength." The devil is well equipped and well-trained, and he really relies on millet plus rifles, and ordinary players can't even pass the first level of historical difficulty. ”

Zhang Pingxiu frowned slightly, "It's all smashed with equipment, what's the point of historical difficulty?"

"It's not as easy as you think," Fang Junqi put away all the grenadiers and ordered his subordinates to withdraw, only then explained: "The backpack space is limited, it can't hold too many things, and the further back it goes, the less effective it is." And the enemy AI on historical difficulty is much stronger. ”

As if to make a footnote to his words, the cliff artillery position that he had just left had already been covered by local fire, and if he had another volley just now, he was afraid that he would have to end up with all the deaths.

The shells washed the ground, and Zhang Ping suddenly noticed the abnormality, "Eh, why didn't the enemy collapse?"

In the 05 version of the TV series, the superiors ordered the new regiment to break through to Yujialing after the main force withdrew, but Li Yunlong blatantly disobeyed the order and brazenly launched a counter-assault against the frontal enemy. Sakata said that he could not understand why the weak enemy on the opposite side was killed, and decided to brake quietly, but the mortar that Li Yunlong brought to the front line hit the headquarters in seconds. The enemy chieftain gave the head, and the morale of the remaining people naturally plummeted, and the ambitious encirclement war naturally could not be fought.

"This plot is actually based on the 'Battle of Loess Ridge' in 1939. The enemy lieutenant general Abe Norihide, known as the 'flower of famous generals', led two brigades of devils to the countryside to sweep, but was lured by the Eighth Route Army to encircle the enemy in the Loess Ridge. On the side of the Eighth Road, I saw an officer haunting a small farm yard, and I tried to shoot a few shots, which happened to kill Abe Norihide. However, although the guy hung up, his troops did not collapse immediately as they did on TV, but broke through with the support of aircraft. Unable to completely annihilate the enemy, our army was supposed to hold a meeting to review its mistakes, but at this time it received an enemy report that "the flower of the famous general withered on the Taihang Mountain", and the review meeting turned into a celebration party. ”

In order to highlight Li Yunlong's command ability, the plot of the TV series is exaggerated. If it was normal difficulty, it would have been victorious at this point, but not on historical difficulty, the battle has just begun!"
