Chapter 219: At that time, it was just ordinary
The first month of the year is destined to be an unquiet month for the entire gaming industry.
Following the giant hard and the flood famine, Suo Ni and Ren Tiandi also held annual meetings one after another to introduce the new games that will be launched on their own platforms.
Not surprisingly, all three of the annual exclusives are open-world.
Giant hard medieval fantasy.
Thoni's wasteland survival.
Nintiandi's cartoon world adventure.
The three painting styles are all games made by well-known manufacturers, and there is no distinction between the superior and the inferior.
Coupled with the Great Redemption of the Wilderness, the heat of the open world was instantly raised to an unprecedented level.
The topic of open world has rushed to the hot search several times, attracting the attention of a large number of players.
And today.
It is the day when the new game of the Royal Three platforms is officially launched.
Players have been waiting in front of computers and consoles early in the morning, waiting for the game to be lifted.
"It's open, it's open, the game is open first!"
Suddenly, an exclamation broke the peace.
The games locked on the giant hard Xbox platform were all lifted as soon as they arrived and appeared in the list of new games.
The annual exclusive called "Faith" is directly hung in the most conspicuous position on the homepage, and it is difficult to see it.
"It seems that the game of the flood has not been opened yet, so let's try the giant hard one first."
In the live broadcast room of Fighting Shark, Applejack glanced at the Honghuang account that had not moved, and said to the camera.
At this time, a large number of viewers also gathered in his live broadcast room, ready to take a look before deciding which game to buy.
"I heard that the investment in this game has also exceeded 1 billion."
"And it also reproduces the wild gameplay of the eldest cousin, it should be much better than before, right?"
"It's useless, my eldest cousin is the only god in my eyes!"
"The big cousin really has nothing to say about all the details."
"2.5 billion, can it not be awesome?"
"You really can't make it if you give Juqing 2.5 billion."
The barrage on the screen kept swiping, comparing the two games of Flood and Giant Hard.
Time also flies by in the discussion.
Soon.
Applejack plays a good game and clicks on it directly.
Once you've created a character, you'll enter the game and start the story.
"Huh? The degree of freedom seems to have gotten higher. ”
Applejack in front of the camera lets out a soft sigh and controls the character to run back and forth in the starting village.
Then, just like the original public trial, follow the mission all the way outside and work with the escort team to deal with the giant monsters that rushed out of the forest.
In less than half an hour, he completed the task of the novice village and received the task of going to the town.
"It's here, you can move freely outside, and sure enough, the content behind this part has changed."
If he remembers correctly, after leaving the novice village, there is only a plot of a carriage rushing, and he will encounter monsters and robbers on the road to intercept him, and he will have to save people.
The whole process is very simple.
But now that it has been changed, the carriage plot has been directly canceled and it has become a free rush.
When the player arrives in town to report, he will move on to the next mission, and the degree of freedom is significantly higher.
"Could it be that the giant power and the giant hard have finally opened their minds?"
Curious, Applejack immediately leaves the novice village with supplies and runs away from the avenue on the battlefield.
Not to mention, he really ran into random events.
An injured old man asked him to go to the edge of the forest to help collect some medicinal herbs.
Then, at the edge of the forest, he met Orion and asked him to help him hunt.
Even in the forest, you can encounter enemy spies and try to kill them.
The probability of triggering events is indeed high, more dense than the big cousin, but Applejack always feels that something is strange.
I couldn't figure it out for a while, but he also patiently finished the events along the way, and tried the hunting game by the way, and finally arrived in the town more than an hour later.
And just when I passed through the entrance of the town, I happened to meet the old man I had saved before, who was standing at the entrance and selling blood-recovering items such as herbs.
Applejack, who has played with his eldest cousin, subconsciously controls the character to walk over.
[Guest, do you want some medicine?] 】
[Little old man, this medicine is a first-class product. 】
As soon as he approached, he triggered the voice of the little old man and greeted him warmly.
Other than that, there was no response.
"That's it. Gone? ”
Applejack stands in front of the pharmacy in a daze.
Finally reacted, what is strange about this game.
"I see, it's an NPC!"
"When I play Dead Redemption, when I meet people who have saved me, they will thank me and remember that I saved them."
"If you beat them, your attitude will be worse the next time you run into them, or you will simply ignore me."
"But the NPCs of this game are really just NPCs, tool people used to issue tasks!"
Plainly.
It's just that there is no soul.
NPCs without souls, like the walking dead, exist only to release quests and serve players.
The game does have more wild events.
But it only increases the number of missions, and it doesn't change the game world at all.
It feels like a castle in the air, with a false sense that is difficult to blend into, and the player is just a passing guest inside.
"I see, no wonder I always feel that something is wrong."
"I didn't pay attention to it when I played Big Cousin before, but now the gap is really big!"
"There are also many details, such as the big cousin riding a donkey into the city, or falling off the horse, people will be laughed at, and when he enters the house, the rain and wind will be quieter."
"At the time, it was just ordinary, but now that I think about it, my eldest cousin is too TM God!"
"There's no comparison!"
That's how it is, when the object of comparison appears, you will find that what you thought was ordinary can be so unusual.
In particular, the details that were ignored by them in Red Dead Redemption were instantly highlighted in the comparison of the giant hard game, causing a blockbuster exclamation in the live broadcast room.
It's not that their game doesn't do well.
It's that this game is too godly!
It was also at this moment that the memory of playing Dead Redemption completely exploded, and when they looked at the game again, they couldn't see it.
Just like a poor man who has eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, he can no longer get used to eating the coarse tea and light rice of the past.
"Grandma's, I'll just say how electronic ED has been done recently, it turns out that my appetite has been raised by the wilderness!"
Applejack can't laugh or cry, and finds the reason why she can't play other games.
Then he controlled the character to do a task in the town, and sure enough, how to play it was not funny.
Every time I come across something new, I think of it with the big dartger, and then I find that it is completely blown up, and finally I simply become a little bored.
"Forget it, don't play, it's really too bad, let's wait for the new swim of the flood wilderness to come out."
After saying that, throw the handle and exit the game directly.
"Hahaha, the withdrawal reaction is out."
"It's a shame to play for so long."
"It's not that they're not good enough, it's that the opponent is too rebellious."
"I'm also squatting in the wilderness update, and I can't play other games at all."
"Squat together, refresh the page every minute."
They understand Applejack's mood best, and they really can't play it at all.
So I simply didn't watch other new games, just chatted and waited in the live broadcast room, and played Applejack's favorite villain game.
Finally, half an hour later, Honghuang's account on Steam was suddenly refreshed, a new game was updated, and the big cover of the homepage of the Steam platform was replaced with a new one.
[Game: Red Dead Redemption]
[Synopsis: The game tells the legendary story of Arthur Morgan and the infamous Vanderlinde gang, and experiences a journey to the death of the last years of the 19th century.] 】
[Genre: Open World, Drama, Western, Adventure, Action]
[Price: 185/370]
"It's coming!"
Applejack and the audience in the live broadcast room were shocked and sat up straight with excitement.
Look at the interface,There are two prices on it,One is the cost of buying the early version,The other is the full price that you haven't bought。
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly made up the balance and downloaded the game.
When they saw the size of 150G marked on it, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
"I'm Nima! 150G?? ”
"It's seven or eight times more than the early version!"
"Even if it's the top 3A masterpiece now, it's only around 70G!"
"Is this a game that can be bought for 300 bucks?"
According to their estimates, the full version of "Red Dead Redemption" is only 90G at the top.
But now there are enough more 60G, how can they not be shocked.
But after the shock, there was excitement.
Because there is a lot more content waiting for them behind the explanation.
"Fortunately, I upgraded the fiber some time ago."
Applejack is glad and waits patiently in front of the camera.
In a little more than half an hour, he downloaded it, overwrote the installation, and then couldn't wait to get into the game.
When the music played and the familiar camp came into view, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's okay, the archive is still there, otherwise the gold medal I spent so much time brushing would have been wasted."
"Don't do anything else today, push the main line, and strive to see the ending within three days!"
He didn't dare to say big things, especially after seeing the 150G, he extended the estimated time to three days.
For three days, 10 hours a day live.
Enough should be enough, right?
Come to think of this.
With excitement, he continued along with the previous archive, which was the beginning of the third chapter.
At first, in order to familiarize himself with the surroundings of the new camp, gang member Ducky and Hosea asked him to go fishing with him and walk around.
"Yes, this is the right taste, when you go to a new place, you must first familiarize yourself with the environment, this is what a character with a soul should do."
I think back to when I first played "Faith", as soon as he entered the city, he asked him to report to the guards, and then immediately asked him a newcomer to explore the enemy camp, and there was no logic at all.
This is nothing in other types of games, but in the open world, it is nothing more than a layer of skin, and the essence still does not change.
Soon, he rode on the high-attribute white horse that he had managed to catch, and left the camp with the two members.
Walking on the road, the three of them also talked about their future plans.
[Hosea: When we get enough money, we can find a place where no one knows us, so that we don't have to hide from XZ anymore. 】
The familiar words made all the audience feel uplifted.
"This sentence seems to have appeared at the Flood Carnival?"
"It did appear, just at the time of the opening CG."
"It turns out that he said this."
"Why do I feel like I'm standing on a flage?"
"Being able to be taken out by the flood alone must have some hint of meaning."
The character of Hosea, in addition to the boss Ducky, is the elder who cares most about the protagonist Arthur, and will basically stand up to help him when anything happens.
It is also a gang think tank, the most core figure.
Tried to end the life of an outlaw, but failed.
He seemed to be well aware that he had reached a point of no return, so he could usually be seen in the camp teaching little Jack things and letting the young lads read more.
Because he felt that these young people still had a chance, and they didn't have to become outlaws like him, which was a rare positive character.
So the players were very impressed with him.
I also have to admire Hong Huang's ability to portray the characters.
Let them know this person from the bits and pieces of life.
"Redemption, I seem to be starting to understand a little bit what this game is about."
At this time, in the live broadcast room on the other side.
Ouyang Xiao was also experiencing this plot, and his brows furrowed slightly.
From the time Hong Huang introduced the follow-up content at the carnival, she felt that something was not right.
I'm afraid this game is not as they think, it's just a simple mess in the Westworld, experiencing the customs.
Hong Huang must have had a special intention in putting the word salvation on such an important subtitle.
"Huh? Why does it seem that there are more image quality options, and there is one more super high than before? ”
Ouyang Xiao, who was adjusting the settings while hurrying, suddenly noticed a change in the settings interface.
On the original image quality function, there is an additional [Ultra] image quality option.
