Chapter 414: The second wave of melee is about to start again

"Pasca killed the suspense of this year's Game of the Year on November 11th, and you can't think of any reason why Nobody Survives missed out on this championship." - "Critical Hit", rating 9.5/10;

"Back last year, when we first announced the first promotional animation, we speculated that Nobody Survived would be Pasca's most ambitious work to date, and looking back, we admire our wisdom and vision at the time. This game will influence the minds of millions of players for years to come, the relationship between people, the relationship between people and nature, no matter what desperate situation we are in, we should protect the last light of humanity, that is the fire, otherwise 'no one will survive', Pasca did it, we congratulate him. - Gameplanet, rated 10/10;

For the first time ever, Metacritic has included a game review article from a Chinese media outlet called Video Games from Huangpu, and they have received such recognition that no Chinese media has ever been featured on this authoritative international review website before. Of course, the Metacritic website itself does not provide translation services, and foreign players can only solve it themselves.

Our market is moving forward and at the forefront, and our R&D strength has become more friendly to stand-alone games as the market has picked up, and large companies have begun to realize inspiration into designs, codes and images, and small teams have begun to sprout. And the other members of this circle are also improving themselves. Whether it's sending journalists to various countries to attend game fairs to make first-hand reports, sometimes running faster than American reporters in Hong Kong, or cooperating with more and more manufacturers, this is all indicated.

This is the improvement of the whole industry.

More and more media began to do reviews of stand-alone and console games, and not only that, but they also began to learn from foreign established media such as IGN, GS or Eurogamer, and realized that their traditional player-style evaluation method from the picture, music, gameplay, and gameplay is a bit immature. Game evaluation is a very technical thing, not only to tell players whether the picture is good or not, whether the music is good, whether there are many bugs, and whether the mid-range configuration is stuck or not......

It needs to lead players to feel the brilliance of a game, which may be superficial, hidden, exposed, and shown. And it's a beautiful article in itself, not just functional.

The review of "Video Games" about the herring game is still written by their editor-in-chief, Silence Lambs, who still gave "Nobody Survived" a perfect score of 10, and at the end of the article, he wrote very emotionally:

"I've known Pasca for almost a decade, and I'm still both familiar and unfamiliar with him." …… Well, it's a bit of a feeling of putting gold on himself in front of outsiders, but he has indeed known Ye Shenxi for many years.

"When "Eternity" was launched in '02, I interviewed him, and I thought that this child was surprised that he would be successful one day, and it must not be something in the pool, when Pasca was only 19 years old, and many people were still in school. There is sometimes a connection in between, but it is not often faced. ”

"Now I often see him in all kinds of news, not only in games, but also in society, in finance, in all aspects, many, many more. I don't want to talk about his external changes compared to many years ago, he has become famous, he is proud of his love or something, I just feel familiar, he is still the idealist who yearns for it in his heart, and he looks light and unfazed on the outside, but there is a burning flame in his heart. It seems to be careless and careless, but he has a strong desire to express himself and is willing to use his works to argue with others. ”

"Such a person is an eternal teenager, as long as you see him, you will feel that you and I can still fight with life for three hundred rounds."

……

And finally, after "Famitsu" and "IGN", the rating of "Gamespot" came belatedly, but it still came as promised, and they gave it the latest every year anyway.

Ye Shenxi didn't feel it himself, but he and the fans of Qingyu Network were thinking about it every day, waiting, and refreshing the GS score.

Finally they waited, and for the first time, the game of the Blue Fish Network received a perfect score of 10 for Gamespot, and the conquest progress was 3/3.

In addition to the online game "Eternal War", not counting, aside from the 8.0 points of "Survival" that was later added for the PS3 version, the Chinese thing is only three metaphysics finally reflected. From the 8.5 they gave in "The Origin of Everything", to the 9.5 in "Getaway", and finally to the 10 points in "No One Survived". It took Ye Shenxi three years to unlock this achievement.

This means that the fourth title in the history of gaming to receive a perfect score from the three most influential game media outlets at the same time has appeared. From "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", which opened up a new situation in 3D games, to ancient legends such as "Soul Ability" (also translated as "Soul of Blade"), a milestone in 3D fighting games, to "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" and "No One Survives" in this generation, more than a dozen years have passed, and generation after generation of waves have left their mark on the shore.

The regret of "Getaway" has been made up for in "No One Survives", the 28-year-old Ye Shenxi has reached the height of the legend, and the players of the blue fish unscrupulously express their praise for the game and the luck of being able to play these games. They feel like they're the happiest gamers in the world at the moment.

"Later in the game, we thought that Pasca's delay in confirming to players whether Elizabeth had survived was for the sake of a follow-up title, expansion, or Foreshadowing of Nobody Survives 2. But until the last moments, when Tois entered the Resting Empire and his life and death were unknown, Emma returned to the high mountains of the mandala and laid a bouquet of flowers in front of Elizabeth's tombstone. While it's still impossible to determine if Elizabeth is in a resting place under the tombstone, we're pretty sure that Pasca won't be making a fuss about it, because Elizabeth's mission has been accomplished, and Toyce has found himself and completed his redemption. ”

"When such a talented producer leads his team of creative, highly skilled and technical players to present a game that creates a warm hell, yes, Nobody Survives has a deep shadow of horror survival games, the kind that Pasca is good at, but not like his many competitors who abuse the performance of scary scenes and billions of graphics to shape the world. It offers a lot of deeper content that eats away at your brain little by little. ”

……

"A 17-month guess is over, and luckily we'll see his new work next month. The scariest part is that he's actually working on two games at the same time, we can't find any other words to praise Pasca, if you have a new word that hasn't been used by the media yet, be sure to contact us and we'll pay you accordingly. ”

……

……

The three most watched online games of December have all started to be heavily hyped. In all the online game-related forums, these three games are the top priority, they have not yet been launched, and the discussion has soared to a very high level, surpassing the vast majority of online games in operation, even including Warcraft. After all, it's been a year since Warcraft's last expansion, Fission of the Earth, was released.

All three games are big names for both the developer and the publisher.

The developer of Star Wars: The Old Republic is the famous Gayare, and the past few years of Dragon Age and Mass Effect have proven that they are among the strongest contenders in the RPG space of this generation. That's why George Lucas dared to put Star Wars in their hands.

And Star Wars itself, and especially the status of the United States, is itself a national myth created by the American people themselves: an ordinary person (at least he thinks so) fantasizes about escaping from ordinary and ordinary life and venturing into the outside world...... A mysterious figure appears, tells him about his extraordinary background, and transports him to a whole new world...... The protagonist realizes that he is the prophesied savior, and after a series of tribulations, he grows into a truly wise, brave, and responsible hero...... And in the end, he saved the world and fulfilled his prophecy.

Isn't this classic routine ...... Harry Potter, The Matrix, and The Lord of the Rings?

So far, the six works, with a cumulative box office of $4.4 billion, have an unrivaled super influence, as early as the official announcement, countless Star Wars fans have gone crazy for it, prepared game equipment, reserved time, and prepared banknotes. That's the advantage of big IP works.

What's more, EA revealed the investment in the game earlier, and the R&D cost alone is about $200 million, although there must be a slight exaggeration, but in any case, this is a real super production.

In Glixel's survey of American gamers on the "most anticipated online games in December" poll, "Star Wars" ranked first with 39.5% of the votes, after all, it is the hometown of Star Wars. This is a multiple-choice question, which is 15.3 percentage points higher than the 24.2% of CS:GO in second place.

And "CS:GO" is also an IP work, don't forget that the "Counter-Strike" series has had a super influence in this decade, it is a self-made IP. This can even be called one of the most influential games in history, the entire history of FPS games and e-sports, most of which was written by "Counter-Strike", and how many players' gunfight enlightenment started from this game in Internet cafes.

The classic terrorist and counter-strike gameplay allows many veteran players to quickly rise through the ranks with little to no learning cost.

Villefort is considered by many players to be one of the best FPS game companies, even if they are lazy, in recent years, there have been works such as "Survival Road 2", "Team Fortress 2" and "Portal 2", wow, all 2...... It has led the trend of the entire shooter genre, and has also won many media awards for the best game of the year, and its reputation and sales have soared.

At the moment when steem is gradually being surpassed by FG in an all-round way, "CS:GO" is obviously the killer weapon that they intend to re-establish the old hegemony of their platform, of course, it is not a single battle but a two-pronged approach, and there is also a "Dota 2" is still in the final development, and it is expected to be launched soon next year, showing ambition, they are going to ask herring, the digital game platform, who has the final say.

It can only be said that the poor and lonely "Paradise Lost", that is, relying on the slight popularity of the FG platform, has 130 million global users...... "Eternal War" has created a reputation for Fisoa as "the most knowledgeable player, the most proficient online game company", and is regarded as the first brand of the new generation of online games, coupled with the current popularity of "Nobody Survived", the excellent shooting feel and the special design of the shooting game beyond people's expectations, plus a little Pasca's personal fame and idol role bonus......

Let players keep some expectations for the first shooting online game of Qingyu.

In that survey, 23.7% of players voted for them, barely in third place.

It's just 0.5 percentage points behind its direct competitor, CS:GO.

All three games have also announced payment methods.

Star Wars: The Old Republic players need to pay $60 before they can download the game, which is considered a purchase...... bar.

The $60 includes a month of free playtime...... After a month, players who want to continue playing will need to pay an additional $15 per month subscription.

Earlier, when EA announced this charging model, it was indeed criticized and resisted by many players, thinking that they were crazy about money, and seemed to be eager to return to the 200 million US dollars in R&D investment in their mouths, which seemed to be the worst game company in the United States anyway, and there was no room for word of mouth to decline.

But what can be done for the players...... While scolding, while giving money, at least the first month must be played, who called this "Star Wars".

In fact, EA is also quite wronged, so they can only cry without tears, and they are not the first to do this, isn't it the same with the glass slag "Warcraft...... The European server and the American server are also game buyouts for money, and then a month of game time is included, and each time a new expansion is released, you also have to buy an additional one, the price is generally about 40 to 50 US dollars, and the game time is also counted separately.

Who told you to have a bad reputation......

And on "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" and "Paradise Lost", Villefort and the Blue Fish Network seem to maintain a tacit understanding, and everyone says yes, they face each other upright, and no one is allowed to cheat.

Both companies price their games at $29.99 and are buyout, paid for once for a lifetime. But online games will definitely have value-added services, 30 dollars after the buyout to provide network battle services for the rest of your life, so you are not very responsible for yourself, the later the more pressure on the operation, can not bear, servers and bandwidth have always been money.

Both sides are offering additional premium content on the skin.

The competitive online games produced by Qingyu Network have always followed a principle, paid content will not affect the fairness of the game, from the operation of "Eternal War" and the envy of others' earning power, as long as there are enough users, players pretend to be space...... No, there's plenty of room to show yourself, and the profitability is so impressive, it's scary.

They've proven it, so it's only natural to continue this line of thought on Paradise Lost, still open the box, different outfits, hairstyles, jogging shoes or Martin boots, miniskirts or jeans, the appearance of guns or cold weapon textures, and even tattoo patterns on the body, emmm, if there is a tattoo-related national uniform policy, they will go to this setting as soon as possible.

With a powerful pinching system, players have plenty of room to show their unique personality and aesthetics in the game.

The same is true for Villefort, who have also learned how to open chests, where players can pay to obtain chests and keys to fight for special-looking souvenir weapons.

In addition to the gameplay, there are actually a lot of similarities between the two sides.

Even some rare appearance items can also be traded and sold on the platform for money, maybe one day the character is better, and they will embark on the road to riches.
