Chapter 10 Special Themes
The controller command "up, down, down, left, right, left and right", which was the universal cheats of many games owned by Conami back then.
In Caesar's previous life, players are most familiar with the thirty lives of "Contra" and "Saroman Snake".
Caesar in this life is also used as a hidden element in most of the action or shooting games he releases, but he has not let players know about it for a long time. Because he wants the "handicapped party" to feel the excitement of life first, because people always get benefits after being tortured, they will feel impressed.
This time he challenged the game on the spot, and he felt that the opportunity was rare, so he arrived early and released a close-up of the buttons.
Players didn't expect Caesar to put so much thought into it, only to feel that the close-up of the button just now and the four medals in the upper left corner of the screen now, the mystery of the black technology came to the face in an instant, and it looked extraordinarily high.
Caesar even began to manipulate the protagonist of 1P to deliberately hit the enemy's bullets, and attentive players have already discovered that after Caesar activated the cheats, the number of enemies and the frequency of bullet firing have increased, although it is not obvious, but it can still be seen if you look closely.
This is also a balance that Caesar made after feeling that the cheats had ruined the gameplay, and thirty lives did make the game easier, but it wasn't as easy as in his previous life when the difficulty went up. Anyway, the function of his Playbox is several times stronger than the FC red and white machine in the previous life, and many games are released only because of the enhanced content or graphics.
The player in front of the TV counts Caesar until the protagonist he controls dies twenty-nine times in a row without firing a single shot, and then he starts to move forward.
Then the player witnessed the favorite "high difficulty, initial gun, one life clearance".
By the time Caesar had completely cleared the level, turned off the phone and pulled out the card, and began to sit on the sofa to drink tea and rest, the player group had already begun to mess up.
People started calling to ask who had read the order of Caesar's buttons, or who had recorded a live stream in the hope of rewinding back to slow down the button close-up. Some simply took out the host immediately and turned on the card, and tried it directly in the approximate order in their memory.
Anyway, after a five-minute break, the special begins.
Members of the Media Observation Group were seated in the auditorium as witnesses, while special guests were seated in the special judges' seats on the stage.
Before taking the stage, Caesar observed it and found that several veterans of the founding of the "Activision" company had come, which was very face-saving.
IBM and Intel have sent second-in-command, whether it is to witness Caesar's scandal or to witness the miracle, it can be regarded as a sign of importance.
Atari, led by Atari, there are also four companies that have released masterpieces.
It happens to be an odd number of seven to vote, and it was also discussed in advance.
After Kaiser asked the host to introduce the seven representatives one by one to the audience in front of the camera, as well as the effective assurances made by the lawyers present, Kaiser immediately took over the scene and went straight to the point.
Caesar asked the staff to push up two large blackboards, on which the subject matter and type were written in advance.
The subject matter is explained in a Chinese teaching term, which is the main content and central idea of the game.
The theme of this blackboard is written war, science fiction, adventure, sports, crime, horror, magic, urban, disaster, love and a lot of other options, this does not need to be introduced, movies and American dramas are also so differentiated, the audience in front of the TV and the people on the scene are clear at a glance.
The type side needs to be explained by Caesar occasionally.
To put it bluntly, genre is gameplay, Caesar pointed to the various genres on the blackboard and began to explain, about this knowledge, all the audience seemed to him to be a layman, including his colleagues in Atari and Activision. Because the game at this time has not yet been divided into detailed gameplay.
Pointing to the action pass category, Caesar cited "Super Mario" and "The Legend of the Recluse Dragon Sword" fighting and fighting categories, Caesar cited "Street Fighter", and parkour cited "MapleStory Island".
Yes, you read that right, it's MapleStory that Caesar released as the first parkour game after a lot of modifications.
The original Adventure Island had the rudiments of a parkour game, where the protagonist had to run forward all the time, lose his health if he didn't stop, and the protagonist could also step on a skateboard to speed up and increase the difficulty.
Caesar simply lets the protagonist keep the skateboard on the board, and can only accelerate and not slow down. The character setting retains the baseball cap, but is no longer a bastard uncle shirtless and wearing pants.
The story of a teenager in a T-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap who is stranded on a strange island due to a plane crash, picks up a skateboard from the wreckage, and then embarks on a big adventure.
This is Caesar's version of Maplestory, which was eventually defined as a parkour game.
Action shooters, of course, take Contra for example, and it's obvious to everyone.
Role-playing game, Caesar cited Final Fantasy, which sold well.
Action role-playing, Caesar cites The Legend of Zelda.
Competitive games are still Caesar's "Baseball", "Tennis" and "Basketball" series.
Casual puzzles or wits are the likes of "Vegas Cubes" and the just-released "Bubble Bobble".
Adventure puzzle genre Caesar has released The Adam Family, a game that solves puzzles to rescue his kidnapped family.
I don't know if I don't know this, whether it is the audience in front of the TV or the media and industry insiders present, they can't help but gasp.
People were surprised to learn that most of the new genres on the market, with the exception of action games (Pac-Man and Donkey Kong) and action shooter (Little Bee) games, were created by Caesar.
If this special program can prove that these games are made by him, then the creative power of this thirteen-year-old person can be called earth-shattering.
After Caesar had introduced the basic types of games, he asked the special guests present to write on a blank card the theme and type of game that he wanted him to make zuò, and they could discuss it with each other, and the time was five minutes.
By the end of the forty-five-second commercial, the audience saw that the guests were still together to discuss, and Caesar was directing the crew to install the equipment on the opposite side of the stage.
In fact, it is a set of development machines that Caesar is going to provide to third-party game companies.
By the time Caesar had installed and debugged the equipment, five minutes had passed. After discussion, several people handed the only card to the lawyer who was the impartial party on the side, and the lawyer took the lead in looking at it before showing it to the camera.
Through the close-up shot, both the audience and Caesar can see the words on it, only to see that the subject matter is "life" and the genre is "adventure puzzle".
"Although you don't have the theme of "life" on this blackboard, since you took the initiative to stand up and accept the challenge, you shouldn't even dare to accept such a simple challenge, right? IBM's second-in-command suddenly stood up at this time, and on behalf of his peers and the media, he used a radical method that has been used countless times in ancient and modern times, but is still tried and tested.
Caesar looked at the other man for a moment, then smiled weirdly.
Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations! In addition, if there are players with a wide range of knowledge, you should be able to guess which game the protagonist carries with the theme of life...... If you know the answer, please leave a message, and you will be refined if you answer correctly~
