Chapter 285: Mars Collides with Earth

As for these random combinations of various elements, will they be patterned? All games will be patterned at the end. ,ybdu,How can there be so many new things that can be thrown out all the time.。 The key is whether there is a gameplay that hooks the player.

When Wang Bufu said the requirement to join random tasks, the employees were speechless. When they say the end, they don't mean that. It's the character's goal at the beginning, and there must be a decision in the end, whether it is success or failure, you have to give a sentence, right?

In fact, the goal of the Unknown Soldier in the Gaiden must not be achieved. Because the Qin army wandering in another world will only be found by the protagonist in the main story. If players are curious about this question when they play Gaiden, they will understand it when they get to the main story.

Wang Buful's thoughts now are not particularly attractive to the ears of these employees who are used to playing stand-alone games. They haven't played the game yet, and they can't feel the sense of escalation in the game out of thin air. For them, it's the epic story that drives them to play an RPG.

That's not to say employees are doing it now. Their professionalism is still there, and they start to get started according to Wang Buying's division of labor at a glance.

Isn't there a saying that no one knows what they want until they see the product. Wang is confident that as the work progresses, employees will gradually understand the sense of escalation in the game. Like those "geeks" abroad who take pleasure in their work, they identify with this game, and have the expectation of wanting to play, and then devote themselves more to work.

……

Just when Celadon Technology began to produce "Stunning Country: Gaiden" here.

In the Bay Area of the United States, Northern Blizzard is also working on a new version of Diablo 2.

Northern Blizzard is a division of Blizzard. He is mainly responsible for the development of the "Dark" series of games. There is not much contact with the headquarters, and the personnel and projects are very independent.

Blizzard's ability to bounce tickets is enough to see, and Blizzard's ability to bounce tickets in the north is even better. Several of the founders of the branch saw "Frenzy" last year and felt that the upcoming "Diablo 2" was "not cool enough", and then used this argument to convince the headquarters, and then to convince the prestige above the headquarters, and also to convince the publisher.

Then, under the stunned gaze of countless anti-waiting players, Northern Blizzard announced a redo of the game.

It's like crazy, the game has been done and has to be redone. Upfront costs are down the drain. The post-cost is astronomical again! Aren't you afraid of losing money?

However, this approach has been supported by Blizzard and even Prestige Global. The players can only be patient and wait a little longer. Although Blizzard is scolded for jumping tickets, but to be honest, for their attitude of excellence. Nor can I fail to admire.

At least the game was made. Quality is not to worry about!

Under the joint collaboration of headquarters and branches. A new engine was built. Northern Blizzard has already done a version of "Diablo 2", and it is very familiar with it, and the next work is very smooth. The timetable is set. The release date will be set for April 25. It's not a special day, it's just the day they get the game done the fastest.

The publisher got the date sheet and shuddered. Can this date be believed? What if the ticket bounces again? The publicity costs paid last year were wasted, so don't burn money again this year......

In order to confirm, the publisher took several reporters and personally went to Northern Blizzard to see the real scene of the game.

The results are incredible! Compared with last year's "Diablo 2", the new version of "Diablo 2" has extremely gorgeous graphics. It looks like two games are two games!

David, the founder of Northern Blizzard, proudly explains: "In order to redo the engine, the headquarters gave us a lot of support. It's all thanks to the new engine that the game becomes like this. ”

The publisher has seen the old "Diablo 2", the color is grayish, and after going down to the dungeon, many things are blurry. The color style of the new version of Diablo 2 remains the same, and the details are all on the next level.

If Wang is here, he will immediately find that the new version of "Diablo 2" looks very much like "Warcraft 3" on the screen.

"It's not just the image quality improvements, but thanks to the improved engine, now we can continue to add a lot of cool features to the game. For example, more physical destruction effects. David said, showing the visitors the new features.

I saw that in a palace-like place, the barbarian cut down a wall, and then heard a loud roar, and a monster jumped out of the hole in the wall, and after the barbarian killed it, it exploded all over the place.

David said proudly: "In the dungeon, there are many imprisoned creatures and demons. The player can destroy the cages in which they are held and then fight them. ”

"Is there such an element in all dungeons?" The publisher asked excitedly.

"All dungeons have such an element of randomness. Each time they enter, there will be a different element of surprise waiting for them. That's what David is most proud of. Allowing players to re-enter a plausible world every time they quit the game to inspire them to explore.

The publisher saw the overturned version of Diablo 2 last year. At the time, he thought that the game was already very good, so why bother to reinvent it? "Not cool enough" ...... This explanation is too far-fetched. If the picture quality is not enough, "Diablo 2" is already okay. After all, RPG gamers are relatively more casual and don't pay much attention to picture quality.

But now that they see this small feature, the publisher suddenly doesn't care. This game is definitely going to be as amazing a success again as it was five years ago. Compared to the huge sales and amazing word-of-mouth, the one-year postponement of the release is nothing.

"Are you sure it can be released on April 25?" The publisher reconfirmed. If you can set a date. He's about to start promoting the game.

"I'm pretty sure. Because we've already done the game once, we can just do it all over again without any detours. David said.

The publisher nodded and decided to promote the game in advance. Of course, before the publicity, you have to fly to Blizzard headquarters and sign an agreement to avoid further ticket bounces and suffer losses.

The news of Diablo 2's release date has not only made publishers in North America take action. There is also Blizzard's agent in China, Longyou.

The game's predecessor, Diablo, was definitely a top-notch game five years ago. At that time, Diablo had the most exquisite graphics and the most memorable gameplay. Even before Dark, no one could have imagined that the game could do that, opening the eyes of all players and erecting its own heights.

"Diablo 2", as the sequel to that top game, began as early as last year, and Longyou began to build momentum for it. When Blizzard confirmed the release date, Longyou's promotional methods went to the next level, and they got promotional drafts and game pictures from Blizzard, which were then published in various game magazines and installed on game shows on local TV stations.

Domestic players have just calmed down from the frenzy caused by the second chapter of "My Anti-Japanese", and as a result, they have seen the news that "Diablo 2" will be released in China. Dengshi's appetite was whetted again.

They're not interested in Diablo 2. When the "Dark" generation was born, computers were really a rare thing in China, and who would use it to play games with more than 20,000 yuan in nine years? Therefore, this game series, which is thunderous in Europe and the United States, does not have many players in China.

But everyone knows that after the Spring Festival, Celadon Technology is going to start making an ARPG game! It is said that it will also be released around May, so won't Mars hit the Earth?

Two games of the same type, the best way to see the high. The quality of Blizzard is certainly not bad, and tearing down and redoing the games that have already been done has already shown their attitude of chasing high-quality products. I don't know what kind of works Celadon Technology will come up with?

Except for that small game, Celadon Technology is all shooting games, and its ability to make APRG games may not be as good as Blizzard...... But not necessarily, Wang can come up with highlights like "kill effects" for shooting games, and he can also come up with a lot of highlights for ARPG games, right?

Regardless, it's a blessing for players to have such a long-awaited matchup, and to have two absolutely high-quality games to play.

Many players looked at their calendars and wished that time would jump forward three months at once. Compare the high and low of two games of the same genre.

Everyone wants to know, is it the APRG game made by Celadon Technology that is fun, or is "Diablo 2", which has skipped tickets for a year and a half and made countless foreigners cry without tears?

……

Wang Buyi was leading the team to make a random map, and Zhou Yi came over with a game magazine and said, "Great god, what a coincidence." Diablo 2 is set to be released at the end of April. ”

Zhou Yi knows the timetable for the game made by the great god, and it will be officially released on May 1. But "Diablo 2" was actually released five days in advance, and if "Stunning Country: Gaiden" does not have enough quality as a guarantee, it will not be able to resist the opponent's first-mover advantage.

And Diablo 2 ...... Looking at the publicity, the game is very beautiful, and it is still 3D. And the ARPG game that the great god wants to do is 2D.

"I'll see." Wang took the magazine and watched the promotion of "Diablo 2".

"Diablo 2" is a masterpiece in his memory, and he is still strange that the game was not released on time last year. As a result, I didn't expect that people directly knocked it down and redid it. I really don't know how to come up with it, in Wang Buhou's opinion, "Diablo 2" is already very good. Even if there is a problem, why not postpone the tinkering? As for the redo?

It seems that Blizzard's French parent company, which used to be a waterworks, is now in full swing, people are stupid and have a lot of money, they are capricious, and they can't spend it if they want to. Maybe you like to have a place to burn money? Just as countless people have difficulty understanding Wang's behavior, Wang has no way to understand Blizzard's thoughts.

When he saw the game screen in the magazine, Wang couldn't help but rub his eyes...... When I looked at it suddenly, I thought I saw the picture of "Warcraft 3". (To be continued......)

PS: Get up early to ask for a recommendation ticket...... Hehe, there are many tickets.
