Chapter 177: Dead Space Worldview
The world view of "Dead Space" is very grand, and the overall plot is dark and desperate.
The main content revolves around resources and the end times.
In the technologically advanced interstellar age, human beings overexploited resources, resulting in the depletion of the planet they inhabited.
After a long time, human resources were insufficient, and they began to plunder each other, which led to wars.
It can be seen that the scarcity of resources has made all countries red-eyed.
However, this is not an option.
The more wars, the faster resources are depleted.
So, under the mediation of the United Nations, the countries of the world reached a consensus and formed an alliance, that is, the "*** Colonial Alliance".
As a result, there are no more countries in the world. Originally, the territory of each country was also called a zone, such as North America, and so on.
Subsequently, the Alliance established a "New Horizon Colony Base" on the moon to alleviate the growing scarcity of resources.
But the exploration of the earth continues for the sake of resources.
Once you're done exploring the land, let's go deep into the ocean.
As a result, the deadly existence spanning multiple works of "Dead Space", the "Divine Seal" was discovered.
The series "Dead Space" was given high hopes by the developers in the original world.
In addition to the well-known trilogy featuring Isaac, there are also mobile games, light gun shooters, comics, anime, and more to complement the global view.
And the protagonist Isaac that players know only exists in the "Dead Space" trilogy. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~
In other works, the protagonists are all different.
But as the same protagonists, their fate is much worse than Isaac's.
Either dead or missing, or dragged by the coalition government for experiments and executions.
What's even worse is that he was charged with "***" by the coalition government and pushed out as a backstabber to appease the people.
In short, they survived from the monsters, but died at the hands of humans.
However, the development of IP is too extensive, which leads to a shortcoming.
That is, a complete story seems fragmented, multiplied and mixed.
If the other works of "Dead Space" are all animations, it is fine, players can slowly make up the plot.
But there are comics and mobile games, and.
In addition to true love fans and people who specialize in plot analysis, who will calm down and understand it among ordinary players? Everyone is very busy.
Because of this, "Dead Space", which was released in 2008, made many players still confused after clearing the customs.
What is the Divine Seal?
What happened to the Ishimura?
What the hell?
What did Altman, the soul of this religion, do, that deserve to be believed and worshiped by so many people?
There are many more of these questions.
But soon, some players discovered a prequel anime called "Dead Space: Collapse".
It explains in detail what happened to the entire Ishimura spaceship before the original Dead Space Generation.
In addition, two years later, in 2010, a sci-fi copy of Dead Space: Martyrs was released as a prequel.
Through these, players learned about the origin of the "Divine Seal" and the story of "***".
This book features Altman, a university professor, who quit his job to work as a small researcher in the Chicxulub crater in order to accompany his girlfriend.
Then the Divine Seal was found here, and it was discovered that the Divine Seal would control people's minds, and fanatical believers appeared among the harmful people.
Among these believers are not only scientists, but also high-level and security officials at the research base, and even Altman's girlfriend.
So, in order to save his girlfriend and himself, and for the sake of these fanatical believers who are controlled by the divine seal. While studying the Divine Seal, he held a press conference as a geologist to expose it to the society to expand his influence.
But the result of this is to be threatened and placed under house arrest by the powerful coalition government bigwigs.
Altman is immune to the control of the Divine Seal due to the influence of the protagonist's aura.
And this performance of his was mistakenly believed by believers to be chosen by God. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 177: Dead Space Worldview
The messengers are the prophets who come to guide them.
Thus, a group of believers centered on Altman was born.
Altman also took this opportunity to continue his research on the Divine Seal.
Until one day, someone mutated into a corpse mutation, causing chaos in the base.
After Altman escapes, he sees his girlfriend, but she is already a vision.
This shows that his girlfriend is dead, and he is also affected by the divine seal.
After that, Altman received the message of the Divine Seal at all times, and he seemed to understand what the Divine Seal was saying, and drew the Divine Seal in the form of a blueprint.
However, he soon came to his senses and understood that the Divine Seal wanted people to copy him.
But one Divine Seal is already terrifying, and if you copy more than one, human civilization will be destroyed.
As a result, Altman deleted all the information of the Divine Seal, and started the base self-destruction program to blow up the Divine Seal.
But he was knocked unconscious by a sudden blow, and when he woke up again, he was already in an interrogation room.
The interrogator was a big man, and the information of the Divine Seal was fully backed up.
He laughed at Altman's incompetence, ignoring Altman's warning of the horror of the Divine Seal and the destruction of humanity. Instead, he released a monster sample and devoured Altman.
Because Altman once held a press conference to expose the Divine Seal, the outside media identified him as a righteous person who dared to confront the coalition government.
Therefore, the big man of the alliance government took this opportunity to convey the goodness of the Divine Seal to the world in the name of Altman, and explained to the world that the Divine Seal can bring eternal life.
Then establish a *** for the purpose of eternal life, to increase the belief and propaganda of Altman, so that he will be a "saint" and will be remembered for centuries.
As for Altman himself, he became a cold corpse uselessly, becoming the "martyr" in the title.
This book tells the story of the discovery of the Divine Seal and the establishment of ***, as well as Altman's own sacrifice. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~
Before it came out, many people thought that the *** with the slogan "eternal life" in the game was a cult, and Altman was the leader of the cult.
After the results came out, Altman was corrected, he was an anti-god seal person, and *** was just wishful thinking.
However, the vehicle for this to complete the plot is, not the game.
Many people don't even know that this book exists, so how can they understand the plot?
The same happened in Dead Space 2.
As soon as many players enter the game, before they are in the state, they see a man being devoured and mutated in front of the main character Isaac.
Who this man is, players don't know until they clear the level.
Later, I realized that the man who died at the beginning was the protagonist of "Dead Space: Burning".
He is an engineer like Isaac, and in the process of his work, in order to complete the orders of his superiors, he dodges corpse mutants on the space station, shoots his girlfriend, and finally rescues Isaac at the beginning of "Dead Space 2".
Then the next second he was attacked by a corpse mutant.
It makes many players who play "Dead Space 2" for the first time confused.
Thus, the protagonists of these other works in Dead Space not only complete the entire worldview, but also explain what happened in the intervening period between Isaac's trilogy.
It can also be seen from this that the developers of "Dead Space" have great ambitions and want to create a great IP.
But in the end, it was defeated by the high-level strategy until it disappeared.
For these, comics, and animation works, Meng Shu will not do what the original world did.
He didn't know much about these industries, and instead of being too scattered, he should concentrate on production.
These, comics, and animation plots, he will all change them into DLC and add them to the base game.
In this way, players can fully understand the setting of the entire world view, rather than being scattered in the east and west.
As for the plot problem, in fact, the main plot of the original generation of "Dead Space" is very simple.
It's the main scene of the game, "Ishimura", which suddenly can't be contacted, so a mine in charge of Ishimura's work. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 177: Dead Space Worldview
The company dispatched one urgently
The maintenance team went to investigate.
And in the group, there is Isaac, the protagonist of the trilogy.
In addition to providing technical support, he came to Ishimura more to find his girlfriend.
When the group came to the Ishimura, they found that there were corpses all over the place, and there were corpse variants everywhere that they had never seen before.
In order to survive, Isaac, a mute tool man who can't speak, begins his own path to the god of war.
During this period, I fought and killed, went to point A to point B, and during this period, I also put a regeneration monster into the universe, because I couldn't kill it.
It wasn't until halfway through the process that it was discovered that the Ishimura was already a ghost ship. So the protagonist Isaac runs to release a signal for help, which attracts the patrol battleship "Courage".
However, the Spirit found the regeneration monster escape pod dropped by the protagonist Isaac, and thought it was someone in need, so it took it in.
Then the Spirit became the second Ishimura.
At the end of the game, the protagonist Isaac kills the big boss, blows up the Divine Seal, and leaves the planet.
But that's just the main story.
The background plot under the main line will have to be interpreted in combination with other works.
In short, under the simple main plot, there is a story that connects the worldview.
In other words, the player wants to understand the whole story. In addition to playing games, you also have to watch comics and anime.
Therefore, Meng Shucai decided to integrate it in the form of DLC. @精华\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
As for the plot, in order to be able to connect with "Control Failure", some changes will naturally be made.
But how to change, Meng Shu has no specific ideas now, only a general direction.
However, the current plan for Dead Space is just to get a demo version, and it is not yet time for official development.
Therefore, you don't need to follow the form of the game development process, you only need to arrange a part of the staff to get out the art resources you need.
After the E3 exhibition is over, and then the VR version of "Dark Forest" is completed, you can fully devote yourself to the development of "Dead Space".
Meng Shu yawned and looked at the sky.
It's past 10 p.m. now.
But he didn't get off work in a hurry, but looked at a PPT file on the computer desktop.
There is no need to guess, Meng Shu knows that this is all the conceptual design of "Dead Space". There are scrap drafts and final drafts, and all the design collections are included.
Meng Shu double-clicked and clicked on it, and roughly browsed it.
Inside, there are several versions of the appearance design of the god seal, as well as several versions of the design of the protagonist's engineering costume.
Even the name "DeadSpe" has two interpretations.
One is that the Divine Seal itself will generate a safe space, so it is called a dead space.
The other is that after absorbing all the life, the Divine Seal turns the universe into a lifeless space, so it is called Dead Space.
However, when it comes to life absorption, "Dead Space" does have an impressive and very eye-catching highlight, that is, the design of the corpse variant.
This thing, which changes the DNA of human corpses by the divine seal, is an out-and-out murderous monster.
And unlike the rotting walking dead like zombies, the corpse mutant is more like a new species, terrifying and vicious.
In the game, the most common corpse variant is the "Cutter".
By design, this type of corpse variant is a combination of human DNA.
They are hunched over their waists, and they don't have an inch of complete skin on their bodies, they are all *** flesh and muscles.
The ribs are clearly visible, the chest is disemboweled, and the organs are missing.
But because of the clothes that covered it, these unappetizing bloody scenes will not be seen.
In addition, the arms of the cutter are inactive and merge with the body, leaving only the forearms swaying weakly around the waist.
At the same time, the lower leg is bent behind the leg and replaced by a regrown limb.
The face of the head will be damaged to varying degrees, some will be split in half, some will have no skin, and some will have missing jaws.
But the most obvious feature is the two handfuls of flesh and blood that grow out of the back of the neck. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 177: Dead Space Worldview
The scythe of the bony bent great.
Bloody, it looks extremely terrifying.
In fact, in the game, the pair of bent scythes is indeed terrifying. Initial Update@
The fragile flesh of human beings is simply unable to resist, and it is almost a knife and a corpse.
Even some metal structures can be easily cut by the cutter.
In addition, they also know how to hide in ventilation ducts to give a fatal blow, and will lie in a pile of corpses and pretend to be dead to sneak up on the player, etc.
Only a small percentage will attack head-on.
This proves that they are fundamentally different from the wandering zombies that wander around.
And this kind of monster is just the most common type in the game.
In addition to the Cutter, there are many other types of corpse variants, all of which vary in their level of threat.
At the same time, they're not like zombies with headshots and they're fine.
Instead, it is necessary to cut off the limbs and make them completely incapacitated.
This is a great test of the player's shooting ability.
Although compromises have been made in the game for the sake of entertainment, so that the player does not have to actually knock out limbs on easy difficulty. But the actual setting is really terrifying.
Therefore, Meng Shu decided to restore this.
Not for anything else, mainly for players to have fun.
Let them see how terrifying this monster has never been before!
