Chapter 907: "Watch Dogs"
"Under the Legend" has set off a wave of meta-element games, and major game manufacturers are trying and testing the waters for this new type of game.
The discussion on the Internet about the new work of Nebula Games being a meta category has also become a hot search entry, although there is no news, but this does not prevent players from discussing it.
And like the judgment of most game manufacturers, many players actually think that the next new game of Nebula Games is likely to be a meta-type game theme.
Although "Under the Legend" is only a low-cost game, the gameplay of the meta element that breaks the fourth wall still brings players a completely different experience.
Especially after some well-known game manufacturers said that they were developing games with similar meta elements, many players were very curious about what type of games would be in Nebula Games next.
Continue to launch meta-element games, or is it something else?
Outside players and game manufacturers were arguing, while Yang Chen was in the conference room of Nebula Games to explain the content of the new game to everyone.
Watch Dogs
The name of the project title made everyone in the conference room feel a little curious.
Because Nebulas Games currently has a lot of foreign employees, this kind of meeting is generally a bilingual project book in Chinese and English.
Unlike ordinary people's first impression of the dog in the nursing home, it is obvious that everyone present did not think about it.
The watchdog is really just a technology (both hardware and software) whose purpose is to protect the chip from going into an endless loop.
It's just that the project is named after such a name, which still makes everyone feel a little curious.
"Different from the cinematic immersion experience of The Last of Us before, this time we want to bring players an open world."
"A hacker-themed game is somewhat similar to GTA, for example, there will be gunfights, action, drag racing, puzzles, all kinds of mini-games, and a detailed main line, but the whole mode is different."
"In Watch Dogs, play will be a major part of the game."
Listening to Yang Chen's words, everyone nodded slightly, and they could almost understand the meaning of Yang Chen's words.
Different open-world games have different emphases.
Red Dead Redemption, for example, is an open-world game, but it's more of an era that feels like it's a game.
For example, many details in the game, mini-games, and even the main line of the game, telling the story of Arthur Morgan and his group of western outlaws as civilization and law are about to replace the afterglow of the Wild West.
The plot and details are all to show players the charm of that era of barbarism and civilization.
"GTA" is a different style, a real enough Los Santos, but just to show players the stories of Franklin, Mike, and Trevor who are active in this Los Santos.
"Watch Dogs is not GTA, and the mold in GTA is not suitable for this game, and the main core content of this game is to allow players to use the power of hackers and use all kinds of tools to complete their tasks."
"The modern magician, this is the hacker in "Watch Dogs", the police chase on the street, just take out the mobile phone and move your fingers, you can destroy the vehicle behind you, or let the traffic light fail to cause a car accident on a certain street, and better escape for yourself."
"Just like a commercial movie, players can use their hacking skills to create a gorgeous visual show."
Yang Chen looked at everyone and said.
Create a real city, and then add a story that is good enough and all the details of the city.
In this case, it is actually simply emulating "GTA", and in fact, in the dream memory, the game "Watch Dogs" is indeed facing such a difficult choice.
At the beginning of its launch, it encountered a disastrous opponent "GTA", so the launch time of "Watch Dogs" was postponed in order to avoid "GTA", and at the same time, the emerging IP of "Watch Dogs" faced a difficult choice, to follow "GTA" or take another path.
In the end, "Watch Dogs" gave an answer of its own, that is, to seek a breakthrough.
In the first generation of "Watch Dogs", there are actually many shortcomings.
But Ubisoft's dream memory is actually a game company that makes sequels, and Ubisoft's sequels are as famous as their potatoes and bugs and drones compared to a game manufacturer whose sequels are bad.
In the second generation of Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs has become even better, and even with the formulaic open world, combined with the unique gameplay of hackers, it is enough to immerse players in it for hundreds of hours.
If there is anything that Yang Chen feels is not as good as the previous work, it is that in terms of the depth of the content of the plot, compared with the previous work, players can think more about private law sanctioners like the protagonist, whether it is good or bad for society, and the plot content of the second generation is much simpler and easier.
There is no bitterness and hatred, just to see that you are unhappy, and then do what you say, a group of young hackers gather together to do things, do it, and then they are swept into a bigger vortex, and finally kill and mutilate.
The plot of the whole game is biased towards the everyday.
And the protagonist also followed the trend and became the black brother.
Compared with the plot of the second generation, Yang Chen didn't think too much about it, and decided to use the plot of the first generation.
The game is not set in San Francisco, but in Chicago.
However, considering that the game will bring players a deeper sense of immersion in VR mode, the whole tone of the game's background will not be as heavy and oppressive as the original 'Dark Knight'.
After Yang Chen finished talking about some of the design concepts of this game, as well as the unique gameplay system, everyone also made up for it in their minds.
On the surface, I'm just an ordinary handsome office worker, bored playing with my phone while waiting for the bus.
But I've actually hacked into the city's system to make the city's public facilities work as I want.
This unique hacking gameplay, although the relevant gameplay test demo has not yet been made, and it is impossible to actually judge, but the feeling of this kind of gameplay is really cool.
