Chapter 273: New Tournament Rules
"Star King 2" is a sequel game, the so-called sequel, as the name suggests, is based on the previous game, with some upgrades or changes.
Therefore, loyal players like Zhao Yunlong will soon be able to get started and play.
There are pros and cons to doing so!
The advantage is that the learning cost is reduced, and players don't have to re-adapt to a new game, just play it as an old game.
And the disadvantage is the lack of surprises, after all, this is a sequel and not a brand new game, there are surprises but not many, the main thing is "original".
"The plot is okay!"
Zhao Yunlong was about to eat the bowl of rice in "Star Emperor 2", so he naturally had to pick a good one, and seeing that the barrage was complaining about the lack of novelty of the second generation, he couldn't help but argue: "There are so many new characters in one breath, and there are new plots, isn't that enough?" ”
"The graphics and special effects have also been greatly upgraded, new combat mechanics and injury detection have been added, and Chengxian Road has also been retained......"
To be reasonable, as a sequel game, Zhao Yunlong feels that "Star King 2" is already passing.
He is a veteran player of the Sword and Fairy series.
Compared with the sequel to the "change the soup but not the medicine" defense of the Sword and Fairy series, he really thinks that "Star Emperor 2" is not bad, at least it is worth the price.
What kind of bike do you want for 68 blocks?
If this is "GTA7", then he must not be satisfied, after all, he has high expectations for the R star, and the GTA series is also a well-known triple-A game, and the performance of the sequel is really unreasonable.
But "Star King 2" is not a game of the level of "GTA7", let alone a triple-A masterpiece, so there is really no need to pick a bone in the egg......
"What the anchor said also makes sense, you can't treat a sequel game with the standards of a new IP game."
"Indeed, it's worth the ticket price to upgrade so much, the injury mechanism is quite interesting, and the plot is even more ...... gods"
"It's more than that, isn't it? I heard that this time "Star Emperor 2" seems to have launched a set of exclusive peripherals, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Exclusive peripherals are real!"
Zhao Yunlong answered the barrage's question, and then posted his order record: "The Galaxy suit, specially created for "Star Emperor 2", I bought the deluxe version, the express delivery has not been sent for the time being, and when the things arrive, I will unbox the live broadcast ......for everyone."
Seeing Zhao Yunlong post a screenshot, everyone in the live broadcast room was a little surprised.
The Galaxy suit is not famous, after all, during this period of time, Tianba Studio is sparing no effort to promote this set of peripherals, and there are really many interested netizens.
But interested is interested, and there are not many players who really pay to buy it.
Joke!
The game only sells for 68 yuan, and a set of somatosensory game peripherals tailored for the game actually sells for hundreds of yuan, who can accept this?
"It's okay......"
"In fact, if you understand the parameters and configuration, you will know that the price of the Galaxy suit is really not expensive, and it can even be regarded as cheap."
Zhao Yunlong doesn't care, other people's Xbox-specific gamepads are priced at hundreds of yuan, and there is no problem with the pricing of the Galaxy suit.
It's expensive, that's compared to the game's price of 68 yuan.
If you put aside the price of the game, just talk about the set of peripherals itself, the price of a few hundred yuan is really good, at least it is not a trick, and it is even very conscientious.
Besides......
The deluxe version is only sold so expensive, if the financial resources are limited, it is not impossible to buy an ordinary entry-level model, only more than two hundred yuan is enough.
Speaking of the "Galaxy Suit", Zhao Yunlong is actually quite looking forward to it.
He just played two games of "Star King 2" with a keyboard and mouse, and the experience is much better than the previous work, and the sense of blow is even more unique, and he finally has a bit of what a "fighting game" should look like.
According to the information officially disclosed by Tianba, using the Galaxy set to play "Star Emperor 2" will get a game experience that will exceed that of the keyboard, mouse and controller.
Even the joystick, known as the "Spirit of Fighting", according to the official statement of Tianba Studio, has a much worse experience than the Galaxy suit.
"This is a new interactive experience that goes beyond the existing fighting game peripherals, ushering in a new era of fighting games!"
That's right!
That's how Tianba officially advertised it, as for how true or false this is true, it is unknown.
Anyway, after Zhao Yunlong watched the demo video, he was very excited, and regardless of whether the video presentation was true or not, he immediately pre-ordered the deluxe version of the Galaxy suit.
The video hangs on the product detail page of the Galaxy Suit, and you can see it when you open it.
The content is brief.
A staff member who dressed in the Galaxy suit connected the game console to the 75-inch large-screen TV and demonstrated the correct use of the Galaxy suit.
I saw that in the video, the staff threw a punch violently and opened their mouths to shout: "Shake the Heavenly God Fist!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the character controlled by the staff member in the game screen also threw a punch, and the avenue collapsed in an instant, time and space distorted, and with the blessing of the exaggerated special effects, although this punch did not hit the other party, it really made Zhao Yunlong stunned.
Ha?
Can the game still be played like this?
With the Galaxy suit, you can simulate the combat posture, even if you can release skills through voice commands, this is also too handsome!
What man can resist this temptation?
Others don't know, anyway, Zhao Yunlong can't resist it, he really likes it, and after watching the demo video, he can't help but fall in love with the Galaxy suit, and even dreaming at night is the famous scene of swinging a sword to cut through the ages.
It's just so cool!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlong hurriedly glanced at the logistics information, wondering where the Galaxy Suit Deluxe Edition he had pre-ordered had been shipped.
It's OK, it's sent to the vicinity of Yangcheng.
Based on the distance between Yangcheng and Pengcheng, it is estimated that tomorrow morning or noon, the express delivery will be delivered to him.
That's not slow.
After all, although his pre-order was very early, it was not shipped until today, and it was only a dozen hours after calculating the time.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I will use the Galaxy suit to fight on the Chengxian Road, everyone remember to pay attention! As for now, I've gone through the plot first and familiarized myself with the new characters......"
On the first day of the release of "Star Emperor 2", a total of 10 characters were launched for players to choose from.
Among them, the Galactic Emperor is the first new character that players come into contact with, and he is also the main candidate to pass the story levels.
His identity is not a secret.
Long before the release of the game, Tianba Studio officially released a large number of background information, from which it can be known that the Galactic Emperor is the son of the Starry Sky Emperor, the innate Galactic Holy Body!
It's a pity that what every player knows, the Galactic Emperor himself who is in the plot doesn't know.
Tianshu Star, Seven Star Sect.
It has been 10,000 years since the fall of the Starry Sky Emperor who was amazing for thousands of years, pushed the forbidden area supreme, and suppressed the entire era by himself.
A new golden era has opened, and countless Tianjiao have risen one after another, intending to compete for the throne of this life and become the next starry sky emperor......
The Seven Star Sect is a saint sect, there are countless powerful people in the sect, and there is a saint ancestor who has lived for three thousand years, and his strength is invincible in several surrounding regions.
But this has nothing to do with the water baby.
Shui Wa is an orphan who was accidentally picked up by an elder of the Seven Star Sect, without a father or mother, without a name and without a surname, because when the elder picked him up, he happened to be floating on a waterhole, so he was named Shui Wa by the elder.
"At this time, the Galactic Emperor hasn't awakened the Galactic Holy Body yet? And why is his cultivation realm so low? ”
While passing through the plot level, Zhao Yunlong complained about the outrageous aspects of the plot.
As the son of the Starry Sky Emperor, the Galactic Emperor was born as a saint, that is, he was in the same realm as the ancestor of the Seven Star Sect, and he also awakened the unique Galactic Holy Body.
But why is it that in the plot, the young Galactic Emperor fell into the realm of saints, and the Galactic Holy Body has not been recovered?
This situation ......
Either someone has tampered with it, and this person is the deceased mother of the Galactic Emperor. Either that, when Brother Ba wrote the plot copy, he forgot the setting of the Galactic Emperor "born to be holy".
But is it possible?
……
While Zhao Yunlong was busy with the plot and chatting with the few sailors in the live broadcast room, Chen Ba, who was far away in Jiangning, was also watching others play "Star Emperor 2".
Of course!
As a game producer, Chen Ba's understanding of games is unmatched, and he is usually very busy, so he doesn't have time to watch ordinary people play games.
The people who are watching him and playing games are not ordinary people.
GAL is a popular professional player, the core thigh of the Intel team - Xiao Jiu!
This is a professional specially invited by Chen Ba to make a fair evaluation of the competitiveness and event suitability of "Star King 2" from the perspective of professional players.
In addition to Xiao Jiu, there was also a whole team of analysts and hardware engineers from the Intel team who were invited.
Why Intel?
This brings us to the current ranking situation of the GAL League!
The Intel team, which has been decadent for nearly three years, finally rose to prominence this season, overthrowing the old giants AMD and Nvidia and leading the league standings.
The Intel team is currently the most fierce team in the GAL League, and if you want to test the adaptability and competitive intensity of "Star King 2" to professional competitions, you naturally have to invite them.
The test environment completely simulates the game conditions of the GAL League, except that the game has changed from "Star King" to "Star King 2".
Xiao Jiu played three rounds with another Intel teammate and easily solved the opponent 3:0.
The test results are also in.
According to the actual observation on the spot, as well as the judgment of many GAL league professionals, "Star King 2" can seamlessly connect with the current GAL league.
Players and teams just need to get used to their new characters a little bit, and they're pretty much ready to play.
Probably the only question is whether or not this "injury" mechanic is introduced to the game, and how to set up rules around it during the game.
That's where the headache comes in!
In the game, if a character gets injured, it will affect the next game, but in the game, is the same?
"Can Bring in ......"
Xiao Jiu, as a party concerned, gave a fair and objective opinion: "The existence of the injury mechanism will make the game more beautiful and bloody. And the existence of this mechanism can also greatly improve the viewing and competitiveness of the game! ”
The reason he gives is simple.
The existence of the injury mechanism will make the operation gap between the players clear at a glance, and reduce the impact of the "unique brother" on the victory or defeat of the game.
It's not uncommon to see only one or two powerful characters from Starry Sky and then dominate the professional arena.
This is the so-called Tricky Brother!
The existence of Brother Tricky once made the GAL league environment extremely embarrassing, after all, these players choose this role every time, and he is not tired of playing himself, and the audience is tired of watching it.
I want them to play other characters, but their other characters are not very proficient, and their strength cannot be guaranteed.
If you don't play other characters, it's a bit boring to always have one or two characters in the game......
If the injury mechanic of Star King 2 is introduced, the situation will be different.
Under this mechanism, there will only be one or two characters of the unique brother, unless he has not been injured, otherwise he is injured, and he will only be carried away by rotation.
After all, you're all injured, and before you recover from your injuries, you can't play other roles, so you can only ask you to get out of the game first and try it for someone else.
"Is this injury mechanic shared by the team? Or is it the designated player himself? ”
Xiao Jiu asked a key question.
The core of the injury mechanism is that after the character is injured, he cannot exert his due strength, and must slowly heal to recover.
OK!
When this mechanic is applied to the GAL League, a new question arises: will the selection of other teammates be affected by the injured character?
Here's an example.
Team Intel has a number of professional players who go to the tournament, and Xiao Jiu comes out first and uses "Galaxy Emperor" to defeat his opponent, but he is also seriously injured.
That Xiao Jiu's teammates came on the field and chose the "Galaxy Emperor" to play again, is this Galaxy Emperor "in his heyday" or "injured state"?
This question must be clarified!
If a teammate chooses the same character, and the character is in its heyday and is not injured, it means that the "injury" mechanic is only implemented for the player, and the unique brother will be more uncomfortable.
However, the role chosen by the teammates has not recovered from the injury, and the strength is greatly reduced, which means that the injury mechanism is applied to the "whole team" to take effect......
The injury mechanic is applied to the whole team, which is interesting!
A lot of teams had to study the mechanic and figure out which characters would come first and which would come later. And consider the priority of the version T0 characters, as well as the injury recovery of those characters.
There are only a few characters in the T0 version, and if all of them are seriously injured, the team will undoubtedly suffer in the next game......
After all, people can choose the version of the T0 character, but you can't, because you choose it is also in the state of "serious injury", isn't that a point for others?
Don't choose the T0 character, and choose the weaker character to play, the odds of winning will be too low.
After all, everyone is a professional player, and under the premise that there is not much gap at the operational level, the role I choose is stronger and more restrained in your role, then I can have the absolute upper hand!
"It's definitely ...... the whole team"
Chen Ba said without hesitation: "In this way, the game can become more suspenseful and more thrilling." ”
The GAL schedule lasts for one year.
During the year, the coaching staff and the logistics team must ensure that the players can choose the "heyday" version of the T0 role for each sub-event.
It's the same as the speed of tyre change in F1, a competition for logistical strength.
In the same version of the T0 character, your serious injury has not healed, and mine is at the peak of its heyday, so how can you win me?
The logistics team can ensure that these powerful characters recover from their injuries quickly, and they take turns to "recuperate", rather than all injuries at once, and with the player's personal strength and hardware configuration, it is expected to win the GAL annual championship.
If the logistics team is not strong, and all the strong characters are in a state of "serious injury" at the critical moment, then no matter how fierce the player's personal operation is and how top the hardware configuration is, it is easy to overturn......
