219 Surprised producers
"Don't say more, there's no way I'm going to make the game any easier."
As the leader of the Execution Team and the director of the Executioner development project, Quint isn't in a good mood right now.
Unlike those who try to cater to players for money, Quint and the entire group of makers live by the truth of "making games that meet their needs". They don't really care about the players' requests.
Because they like the exhilarating feeling of slashing and slashing, they give "The Executioner" an unparalleled sense of blow.
Because they like to watch bloody and violent B-grade movies, they make "The Executioner" bloody.
Because of their love of difficult challenges, they designed the maximum difficulty of Executioner to be terrifying, and even now, no one has been able to beat the game's highest difficulty.
Isn't that bad?
Nothing bad.
In Quint's view, it is a game only if there is a challenge, and if you can clear the level with your eyes closed, there is no need to play it at all.
Therefore, this stubborn guy will never make any compromises and concessions, and will never follow orders and release patches that reduce the difficulty.
"If you want to make it easier, you can do it yourself, right? It is impossible for the execution team to make any patches. ”
His categorical speech finally brought this "debate" to an end.
"Okay, I'll help you get the word out." The middle-aged man glared at Quint and left the office without looking back, not forgetting to slam the door hard.
"Oooh, the idiot is finally gone." Laughter rang out in the office. But Quint wasn't in the mood for a joke right now. I just sat back in front of my computer, opened the search engine, and typed in the keyword "executioner is the most difficult".
These days, he is also paying attention to whether there are players who can get through the most difficult things, but not to take care of players, but simply out of a "challenge" mentality.
How many people can get through the highest difficulty of creating their own zào?
A few days ago, he also watched a few videos of the third and fourth levels of the highest difficulty, but almost all of those players died several times before they barely cleared guò, and there was an obvious element of luck in passing the level.
For the guys who got by luck. Quint was completely dismissive. In his opinion, only players who have passed the level with one life can be regarded as truly conquering the highest difficulty.
And at the moment, such guys. It hasn't been shown yet......
"Wait a minute."
I thought today's video would be the same as yesterday. But Quint's gaze. I was quickly attracted by the name of the latest uploaded "Executioner" video:
"God-like method - Chinese game anchor, zero death to break through the first four levels of the most difficult video highlights of "The Executioner". Reprinted from Kudou Video Network. ”
"Chinese Players...... Are you kidding? ”
As an American, in Quint's opinion. The masters of action games are concentrated in Europe, America and Japan, but this time the zero death passed, it turned out to be a Chinese player? He really didn't want to believe it.
clicked on the video with a skeptical attitude, and the anchor who appeared in the lower right corner of the screen was indeed an Asian with black hair and yellow skin. This is indeed a video recorded from a game streaming site like Twitch, and yes, the image quality is a little unclear because it was reposted from a foreign website.
However, Quint doesn't care about the quality of the picture at all now, he just wants to see if this person really makes it through the first four levels with one life.
As the maker of the game, Quint understands the difficulty of the game very well: the first two levels of the highest difficulty are fine, and from the third level, it is the bloody killing field where the execution team really begins to exert its strength. And in the fourth level, the difficulty has been further improved, and even Cheng Dù has been reached.
Even Quint himself has to die once or twice to pass the level, is this guy really a one-life pass?
With a vague suspicion, he began to watch the video.
After an hour......
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" An execution team programmer walked over with a coffee cup and shook his right hand in front of Quint's eyes.
"Huh? It's okay, you guys keep working. ”
finally came back to his senses, and Quint responded perfunctorily, looking at the video player interface that had been hacked, still thinking about the video screen just now:
――Even though I can't understand Chinese, just by watching the video, you can see that the guy really passed the first four levels in a state of zero death. This level of operation is not even attainable by the game's makers.
Moreover, it is also mixed with some crazy skills such as "canceling the special move in the killing mode", which has even exceeded his cognition as a maker and has reached the level of subverting the game setting!
- The reason why we want to shorten the skill determination time in Carnage mode is to prevent players from canceling special moves. Because the special move released in the carnage mode is too powerful, if you can cancel the hard stun time later, it will undoubtedly become an invincible save, and the difficulty of the game will be reduced.
However, this game streamer actually canceled the special move within the 0.05-second decision time, and did what Quint thought no one could do.
Undoubtedly, this man is the strongest action gamer Quint has ever seen!
Realizing this, Quint, who was still a little depressed, also burned with surging battle intent in his chest.
It might have been a good idea for someone to beat the difficult game he was proud of, and to meet that guy's challenge, it might have been a good idea to increase the difficulty of the later levels of the game again......
Now, though, he's more interested in the guy named "Stellar Wreckage".
Turn off the "YouTube pipe" to open the Kudou video network, enter the Chinese character of "stellar wreckage", and suddenly a lot of live videos appeared. Among them, the most recent game streams are "Ghost Agent", "Executioner" and another unfamiliar name.
As an avid fan of action games, Quint naturally has no interest in "Ghost Agent" at all, but he is more interested in the unfamiliar name at the end:
"Tales of the War of the Great Three Kingdoms? What is it? ”
Opening the video of "The Legend of the War of the Great Three Kingdoms", Quint watched it for less than a minute, and then sighed with some disappointment:
It looked like a Chinese-made action game, albeit with flashy special effects. But the bloody Cheng dù is not enough, and the sense of blow doesn't seem to be too strong, in his arrogant opinion, it can only be regarded as an ordinary work.
And, most importantly, this game has too few skills, and for an action game, this shortcoming is fatal enough.
"It's a shame, but this game is not up to par."
Just as he was about to turn off the video, as if to refute his words, the stellar wreckage on the screen suddenly began to use an incomparably gorgeous "infinite combo" technique.
"Are you kidding?"
Quint was dumbfounded as he watched the flowing moves on the screen, as well as the gorgeous battle screens.
At this time, he finally realized that his previous opinion was really wrong.
Compared to this game, the skills of "The Executioner" are pitiful!
"Can China make such a game?"
Quint, who had always been dismissive of single-player games in that country, was also starting to get serious at this time.
first downloaded a demo version of "Legend of the Great Three Kingdoms War", then continued to search for "good stand-alone games in China", and then downloaded a "Blood Lion" that I don't know what it is, but it seems to have a good reputation.
"Let's try these two games first."
Quint closed his browser and eagerly clicked on the icon of "Tales of the Great Three Kingdoms War". (To be continued......) R861
