Chapter 219: Ideological Core and Game Update Announcement

The evaluation reports of various domestic media have also been released.

The editor-in-chief of Video Games magazine, Silence Lambs, has now been labeled as a hardcore fishmeal, and his attitude towards every product of the Blue Fish Network is to give two thumbs up and praise him, and this time "Survival" is no different.

"Survival is one of the few games that drives me crazy, and it offers quite a few exciting death scenes. Every moment of Mr. Wilson's death is unforgettable, for I have brought myself into Mr. Wilson from the moment I walked out of the bomb shelter. This game is especially good at highlighting this sense of immersion, because survival is the most basic need of every human being. I didn't even enter the game yet, I was stuck in the menu selection screen, and I already had a thirst for life in the post-apocalyptic background of the wasteland theme, under the background sequence frame animation of the nuclear explosion. ”

……

"I'm sorry that this review came a little late, even later than the pressure of foreign friends who are under the pressure of language barriers. Because I'm also thinking about how to evaluate this game. I'm sorry that in order to do a good job, we media people have played a lot of online games, although many of them actually we don't like, the gameplay is similar, and the structure is similar, but the market is here, and we seem to have gradually lost the ability to evaluate such a heterogeneous work. I'm also glad that we're finally starting to have another game with this kind of core idea in our own game market, and at this point I really hope that this game will be a success (it seems to have done it), and I hope that the Blue Fish Network can set an example of this. ”

"Yes, what I want to say today is the core of thought."

"Although it is a post-apocalyptic theme, this game does not focus on dystopia, the gap between rich and poor, class contradictions, trust and betrayal between people, it only focuses on survival."

"The game looks like a wasteland, but it also has elements of magical realism, like the inner world you see when your spirit drops. Turning reality into fantasy, but without losing reality, reality is the fundamental core. ”

"My Wilson and I are lost in the desire to live, to keep picking things up and making them to fill ourselves, and I can't stop, and once I stop taking, my life will come to an end."

"I will loot all the supplies, I will build strong fortresses, I will produce powerful defensive and combat tools against the invasion of death. In this life of Mr. Wilson, he did everything he could to fight for it, to perform on this stage without an audience, but the end was already predestined. ”

"We're not." — Video game editor-in-chief, The Silence of the Lambs, rating: 10/10.

As has always been, Silence Lambs gave Qingyu Network's "Survival" a super high evaluation.

But after his article, many players began to think about their own perceptions in the game, what they obtained, and to understand the hints and innuendos in many places in the game.

It turns out that games can also have movies, and such artistic expressions have their own ideological core, rather than just audio-visual enjoyment and operation gameplay.

There seem to be a lot of different interpretations on the Internet overnight.

"This game reminds me of Milan Kundera's Immortality, as the book says: "Immortality is the shadow of death or brother and sister, and when you see him, you see her. I think my Mr. Wilson has been looking for such immortality, but immortality does not exist for matter, not for this city, not for those monsters, not for mechanical creatures, not for Mr. Wilson. ”

"The kind of gentle monster in the game, the radiation-mutated Eredit sheep will slowly evolve into sheep people, and once during a volcanic eruption, I saw a herd of Eredit sheep dancing in a circle under the fire rain, as if it was a religious sacrifice. Some of the sheep men were hit by the burning rocks and fell, but others were still jumping and making strange noises. That should be the original form of religion, and I think it is also the meaning of religion, which gives them the courage to face death in this desperate wasteland. ”

"After the spirit value is reduced, there are many strange fantasy creatures in the inner world, and their images are constantly changing. Sometimes they take on the form of Mr. Wilson himself, which is what they really are, and we are often destroyed by ourselves. ”

"There is a library in the city, and the location of each refresh is different, but unlike other abandoned buildings, this library is very well preserved, and it seems that civilization can continue, although even if it is a joke made by Pasca. Books are not civilizations in themselves, but they are the most important carriers for the continuation of civilizations. ”

……

There are some things that Ye Shenxi really wants to express, very detailed, Ye Shenxi feels that it may be a long time before the player slowly excavates them, or he can't at all.

Of course, there are some that are more nonsense.,For example, a player said that the monsters in the game don't need the player to fight by themselves.,You can also solve it by guiding them to fight by themselves.,Is it an expression of the golden mean?

What the hell is this......

He is grateful to the Silence of the Lambs, and his article has made people think more about "Survival".

Han Shan, the editor of Tenghua Game Channel, has always been cautiously optimistic about Qingyu Network, just like he was not optimistic about the prospect of the stand-alone release of the FG platform before, and raised his own concerns.

At that time, the press and players had mixed reviews.

In the face of the overwhelming majority of public opinion about "Survival", and even has detached itself from the game itself and risen to the height of the ideological core, Hanshan wrote in his column:

"I've been asking why 'Survival' has been so violent, it's like a virus, and almost everyone is playing it overnight."

"I have to praise the marketing ability of the company Qingyu Network is really outstanding, before they were just a web game with only "Immortal Road", think back to their situation at that time, when the game "Eternal War" was not yet a shadow, the "Blue Fish Cup" competition had already taken the lead, and then the "employee encourager" incident made this company popular and became an Internet star."

Pasca's award speech at the Golden Plume Award became a joke on the Internet, and then it was a handshake with Ren Yueqin Ren of Tenghua Mutual Entertainment, and the sensitive topic of getting involved in the stand-alone game market established the image of a reformer in the stand-alone market, and the linkage between "Survival" and its hottest games. This step by step, every step they take is breathtaking. ”

"So it's not hard to see why Survival has also been so successful, and with the spread of social media, this should be the fastest game to become popular this year."

"Survival is a return to the meaning of the game itself, a challenge, and a good restoration of this."

"Break through yourself countless times under high difficulty, and then get higher scores to compare with your friends and get a sense of achievement. This in itself is already a one-click dynamic enough thing to ensure the dissemination of the game, and it is also a setting that many game manufacturers will compete to imitate in the foreseeable future. What's more, it's also quite quality and depth, and it's easy to get addicted. ”

……

"But also "Survival" has its flaws, such as being very unfriendly to novices, if it weren't for that set of skins, many people would have lost it after dying three or five times in a fog for some reason."

"The biggest downside of this game is that it feels like it's never going to see the light of day. Spending countless hours gathering supplies, fighting enemies, building bases, and eventually inevitably dying can feel rewarding at first, but ultimately the unattainable success makes it all meaningless. While I agree with the game's structure, atmosphere, and mechanics, and the ambitions Pasca has shown through the game, I still feel that it would be better to add a ray of light to the dark and lonely ending of Survival. ”

"There is also a flaw that is fatal, the monolithic gameplay of "Survival" can quickly make the game boring, always alone, gathering, building, defending against monster attacks and natural disasters, and nothing more new appears. In fact, there is a time at the beginning of almost every game that feels like this, and the enthusiasm of players will quickly fade, but how long can the myth of "Survival" last? ”…… Tenghua Game Channel Editor Hanshan, rating, rating 7/10.

Hanshan's article is actually generally fair, and some of the game problems and flaws mentioned do exist.

But the more embarrassing thing is ......

About 4 hours after he met with players in this article, Qingyu Network also announced that "Survival" will usher in the first version of the update on September 1st, and players were in a collective uproar.

Because of the content of this update, the weight is too much.

The main contents are:

The crossover event with Eternal War will officially end at 24:00 on August 31st, when the six in-game achievements will no longer have the "Wasteland Ranger" skin rewards, and will be truly out of print.

This first point makes many players complain, and there are still many people who haven't gotten this set of skins, although it was clearly written when the previous event was opened that the event time was [August 14, 2008-August 31, 2008], but there are always some people who take it as a fluke, thinking that this game is so hot now, and the heat is here, and the herring fish network should also extend the event time as appropriate, right?

Well, now it's time to hammer the hammer, and it's like a day of hilarity and finding out that tomorrow is actually going to be the final exam.

Although the herring fish network made it clear that in order to ensure the security of the account, please do not disclose your account password to anyone, but the game boosting market is still very huge, and the needs of players are also here.

……

The second point is the addition of new game modes and online features.

Now there is only one [Survival Mode] for survival, which is the most basic and original gameplay, and another one will be added after this update, [Endless Mode].

This mode of the game will not be like [Survival Mode] that cannot be set, but there are a lot of player-customized options, which can control the difficulty according to their own needs, including the type of monsters, the number, the time of night, and the frequency of natural disasters. For some novice players, you can also experience the later game content after reducing the difficulty.

This pattern is theoretically the same as his name, endless.

In this mode, players can search for servers through the FG platform, cooperate and assist with unfamiliar players on the Internet, and can also create their own LAN servers and achieve the goal of survival with friends in reality. For example, you collect and watch the house, you pick up garbage, I cut trees, explore the world together, build a base, and fight against more advanced monsters or bosses.

Of course, leaderboards will only be available to online users using Cloud Saves in Survival Mode, and these offline and custom mode results will not be counted.

……

The third is the optimization and addition of some new features of the game itself, such as the addition of a pet system, a weak attack power can help players attract monster firepower, and it can be used as a meat shield, and it also provides a small amount of storage space to store some collectibles that can't be put on the body.

This version officially gives two images, both of which are canines, a German shepherd, a standard wasteland stream pet, and a satsuma ......

Only then did players know who the snow-white dog who was lying next to Mr. Wilson and waiting for dawn with him on that night in the original trailer...... Isn't that the dumpling!

……

There are also new items and map elements that players will have to explore on their own in the game.

The last one, which may not have attracted the attention of most players, but is more far-reaching, Qingyu Network has opened up various API interfaces for the game, and provided an official server toolkit, including network server construction and maintenance, background viewing and management of a series of functions.

This content means that players can modify the game content on their own, make their own game mods (MOD), and modify the language of the game (congratulations to Jones for finally waiting for the "Angliation Group" to complete the translation and then play the English version of "Survival"), to modifying the character image, changing Wilson to Monkey King or Frankenstein or Iron Man, not only the image and even the character attributes and even passive skills. Even later, modify the gameplay, such as adding favorability to the creatures in the game, you can recruit spiders as your companions, tame the mechanical guards, accept the quests they post, and even ...... It's okay to fall in love and get married with Eredit sheep.

The official server toolkit allows players to build their own servers, and then invite players to play, and create their own unique servers through some server-side mods, while also sharing the pressure of the official server.

……

Indeed, as Hanshan said, a single game content may make the game explode for a short time, but it cannot last for a long life cycle.

The last update is Ye Shenxi's response.
