Guanghua City, Shimmer Game Experience Store.

Tang Ying wore a mask, but still pressed her cap, for fear of being recognized by passers-by.

Tian Yuan patted Tang Ying's shoulder from behind: "Sister, what do you mean by this outfit?" There's an idol baggage, right? ”

Tang Ying was taken aback, and was slightly relieved when she saw that it was Tian Yuan: "What kind of idol baggage, it's not because you chose the place to meet here." ”

Although after becoming the pillar of Shimmer live broadcast, Tang Ying's popularity and popularity have been rising, and now she is at the peak of her live broadcast career, but there is still a big gap between her influence and those real stars.

A more obvious gap is that there shouldn't be too many people who recognize her when walking on the street, which is very different from those big stars who are tracked by the paparazzi 24 hours a day.

But if it's in some special places, it's completely different, such as ...... Shimmer game experience store.

The people who come to this experience store are basically players, and there are many players who are Shimmer Studio games, and it is a matter of minutes to recognize Tang Ying.

So Tang Yingcai had a cap and a mask, completely covering his face.

"Didn't you say that you were going to go shopping, why are you still at the door of the game experience store?" Tang Ying looked at the crowds of players at the entrance of the experience store and said helplessly.

Tian Yuan smiled "hehe": "Sister, don't you know?" "Attack on Titan" will be released today in a demo version, of course, to experience it. ”

"Oh......" Tang Ying said that her heart did not fluctuate, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Attack on Titan? I've already experienced it!

As the pillar of Shimmer live broadcast, a dedicated tester, Tang Ying's own GS1 has a special internal account, which can directly update the game under development, and Tang Ying has already experienced the game "Attack on Titan" since it had a demo.

As for the result of the experience......

Of course, it is very unoptimistic.

So I heard that Tian Yuan came to the experience store for this, Tang Ying silently prayed for her in her heart, and at the same time, in a state of mind that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement, she followed Tian Yuan into the experience store.

The Shimmer Game Experience Store in Guanghua City is currently one of the largest experience stores, and experience stores of this size are opening almost every month.

With the increasing volume of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment, similar hardware + game experience stores can be opened in major cities around the world, and some cities in the West are naturally in the plan.

Although it was the first time to open the trial of Attack on Titan, there were not many players in the console area, and most players were waiting in line behind the UV1 simulator, waiting to experience Extreme Speed.

As for the reason, it is naturally self-evident. One is suffering, the other is cool, and most players' choices are so real.

Tang Ying and Tian Yuan came to the host area and found that it had been arranged in advance to promote the "Attack on Titan" experience event.

The main area is lined with a variety of promotional materials, including the "Wings of Freedom" flag, large posters, and some figurines.

Even some of the GS1 devices in the console area have been changed to a collaboration with Attack on Titan, and the color scheme and pattern are moving closer to the uniform style of the Survey Corps in Attack on Titan.

There weren't many players lining up in the console area, but they all had smiles of happiness and anticipation on their faces.

"Wow, these people are all perverts." Tang Ying muttered quietly.

She could see in the eager eyes of these people that there was a certain expectation, that is, the expectation of "death" and "suffering"!

Tian Yuan poked her head out and looked at the game screen that the player in front of her was trying to play.

"Whoosh!"

A figure flew by.

"Whoosh!"

A figure flew over.

"Smack."

The flying figure was slapped to the ground by the giant, and a huge, bright red word "death" appeared on the screen.

"Oh!"

The player who was shot to death didn't care at all and continued to start all over again with great interest.

Tang Ying couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Sure enough, all the people who came here are all severely addicted patients of "A Wolf", and they are all a group of shaking M!" ”

If it were any other game, players would have dropped their handles and left if they died like this, but here, the players' eyes were shining brightly, with an expectant expression of "Ravage me".

Of course, this description is not very accurate, but it should be a kind of "the difficulty of this game is really good, it is worth studying".

A hell for some handicapped players, but a paradise for hardcore gamers who like to challenge themselves.

Soon, Tian Yuan arrived.

Pick up the controller and reset the game to the way it started out.

"On that day, humanity finally remembered the horror of being dominated by giants...... and the humiliation of being imprisoned in a birdcage......"

Accompanied by a low and sad background melody, an impressive scene appears on the screen.

White smoke and dust rose from the fifty-meter-tall wall, and a giant with no skin and exposed musculature appeared behind the wall, staring at everything inside the wall, his eyes filled with despair.

The camera crosses the bustling crowd, over the buildings of the town within the walls, over the 50-meter-high wall like a high mountain, over the giants who grab the walls and raise their legs to kick, to the blue sky, and quickly turns to a black screen.

"Cheer up! If you can't even use the three-dimensional mobile device well, you won't even have the qualification to serve as food for giants! ”

The instructor's roar rang in his ears, and the image lit up again, and Alan flew past the camera using a three-dimensional maneuver.

Obviously, the city wall and the huge giant he saw just now were all memories in Allen's mind, and at this time, he was on the assessment task of training the corps.

As two different artistic mediums, games and anime are slightly different in terms of narrative rhythm. As a game, Attack on Titan had to expose players to the combat system and basic gameplay at the beginning of the game, rather than adding too many cutscenes and real-time calculations early in the game.

Combat, exploration, and decryption are the core fun of the game, and although the plot is also one of the highlights of the game, it must be cleverly interspersed with the previous gameplay, otherwise players will feel impatient.

Therefore, the first act of the game allows players to experience the unique combat system of "Attack on Titan", and the plot sequence has been adjusted to a certain extent.

According to the prompts on the screen, Tian Yuan continued to perform corresponding operations, using three-dimensional motorized devices to constantly move, replacing gas canisters and blades, and training the operation of attacking giants.

Because it was training, it was not the real giants that I encountered in battle, but the wooden plaques in the shape of giants that were erected one by one.

These cards do not fight back, but they can simulate the sudden appearance of giants, and test the trainers' mastery of attack methods and timing.

The first wooden card that bounces off the ground looks like a regular guide, and the system will guide the player through a series of processes including shooting iron wires, wrapping, dashing, slashing, and disengagement, each step will enter bullet time, and the corresponding buttons will be prompted on the screen, so that the player can clearly grasp the process of each step.

When slashing, there will be a secondary ring similar to the sound game, the ring will continue to shrink, and when the ring is reduced to a certain position, press the attack button to hit the perfect slash effect.

Of course, this is just a regular training session, and there will be no such prompts in real combat.

After taking out the first objective, the game goes into a free session.

In the training ground strewn with tall trees, players need to control Eren to use a three-dimensional maneuver to constantly move and slash the giant wooden cards that suddenly rise from the ground to earn points.

At the same time, players also have to pay attention to their own gas and blade conditions, and once they consume a lot, they have to find nearby supplies to get supplies.

The rest of the training corps members are participating in this competition in the form of AI, and their abilities are basically similar to the setting in the game, and a few excellent students such as Mikasa will have strong combat power and high AI, and will naturally have a clear advantage over others in terms of performance.

"This combat system is really interesting!"

"And it doesn't seem that difficult."

Tian Yuan controlled Allen to fly around continuously with a three-dimensional mobile device, killing one "giant" after another, and obtained an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Well, it's like when you play "One Wolf", when you first get a weapon, you slash mobs.

It has to be said that there is a unique thrill in flying quickly in the air using a three-dimensional maneuvering device, which is different from the "flying" experience of general games, with a more rhythmic sense and at the same time not bad handling.

The experience is a bit like a Spider-Man game, and of course, players in this world haven't played it.

In the process of using the three-dimensional maneuvering device, the iron wire is shot and quickly pulled up, and then the iron wire is shot again in the air for a period of time with inertia, and the iron wire is shot again when it falls. Movement will always follow this relaxed rhythm, so that the player does not get into chaos due to crazy acceleration.

In battle, it is both strategy and skill: players need to choose to hook the giant's body parts, avoid the giant's attacks by spinning, or first cut off the joints of the hands and feet to weaken the giant's movements, and finally press the attack button at the right time when slashing the back of the neck.

Whether it's moving or fighting, the pace is very good, and this combat mode doesn't get you tired, but it always keeps you focused and enthusiastic about the game.

"It's strange, I thought it was a game of suffering." Tian Yuan muttered in a low voice, and the eldest brother who was trying to play next to him glanced at this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, but didn't speak.

During the training process, Allen played by Tian Yuan and other trainers will have some plot interactions.

For example, when you want to attack a giant, you are suddenly rushed out and robbed by another trainer, then there will be a plot dialogue, and what the other party says will also match the character's personality.

Tian Yuan doesn't know these people yet, but he will get acquainted with them soon.

After the training content, it entered a cutscene.

"It's ...... It's a cinematic treatment. Tian Yuan still understands these very well.

Cinematic games are also a relatively novel type of game, mainly telling the plot of the game through cinematic means.

In the past, the plot of the game, limited by the skills of the device and the content of the game itself, was often relatively blunt, for example, some games will use a large number of avatars + dialog boxes to express the plot dialogue, supplemented by a small number of character model actions, or dubbing.

The advantage of this approach is that it is less expensive, and the disadvantage is that it is not authentic.

The cinematic game is to make the game as close to the direction of the movie as possible, and the characters' actions, language, expressions, and details, including the storyboard of the entire picture, the narration of the script, the BGM that matches the plot, the transformation of the scene, etc., are all required by the standards of the movie.

Zhong Ming's "Uncharted" in his previous life is one of the best, even in the process of the player's game, there is very little UI information on the screen, and the player's actual game screen and the real-time calculation of the plot are perfectly connected, so that players can get an immersive game experience.

"Attack on Titan" also adopts this method, the transition after the training will be connected to the second time the city wall is breached, the first battle between the training soldiers and the giants, and will play the role of background and character introduction, the whole process will be presented in a cinematic way, in addition to the player has to carry out some movement operations, most of the plot content is shown through the movie-like storyboard.

Unlike the original Attack on Titan game, this version produced by Zhong Ming will show the movements and expressions of each character in great detail, and their lines will also be filled in.

For example, some trainees are excited about their lives after joining the Gendarmerie Corps, others are frustrated that they did not make it to the top 10 because they did not perform well in exams, and some do not know what they are thinking.

At the same time, the discussions in the original book have all been reproduced. For example, 4 years ago, in order to regain the territory, humans invested 2% of the population to attack the giants, but they lost all their money, and most people had no confidence in defeating the giants, etc.

So far, the game has implanted many questions in Tian Yuan's mind.

Like, what exactly is a giant? Where did it come from? What is that oversized giant in Act I? Eren has a bitter hatred for giants, what is the reason for it?

These questions will be answered as the game progresses.

In the course of the intensive battles that follow, the content of memories will be constantly interspersed to uncover the player's questions.

And in the early days of "Attack on Titan", it was with this weird, grotesque but certain authentic worldview that attracted players to continue to understand deeply.

The plot continues to advance.

On the city wall, the trainees were chatting and laughing.

Sasha steals a large piece of meat to share with the others, and Eren stands on the wall, confidently anticipating the imminent human counterattack against the giants.

But at this moment, a violent light suddenly appeared behind him, and the head of the super-large giant reappeared on the city wall!
