Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 413

The updated creative workshop and DLC of "Xtreme Speed" successfully rekindled the enthusiasm of players for this game, and at the same time, Xinhuo Studio is also intensively developing "Attack on Titan".

In the process of research and development, Hu Bin also encountered some uncertainties, but after consulting Zhong Ming, he quickly finalized it.

There are two main references to the style of this game, one is a movie game represented by "Uncharted", which is mainly to show the compact and wonderful plot of the game itself; the other is represented by "Sekiro" The soul game, mainly to highlight the combat system and the atmosphere of despair.

In the method of filming the game, Zhong Ming downplayed the UI elements of the game as much as possible. For example, there is no player’s blood bar in the game. The current state of the protagonist will be displayed through the breathing effect on the edge of the screen. When injured, the screen will turn red. Light, accompanied by heavy breathing.

A very small amount of UI is used to display the remaining amount of gas and the degree of wear of the blade. These two will only be displayed in an inconspicuous place when the gas is almost exhausted or the blade is dull, and is used to remind the player.

At the same time, attacking the giant will not float the damage figure, but will only hint the player's effect of this attack through the special effect of the knife light.For example, if you fail to hit, there will be no slashing effect of the knife light, and if you hit the vital point, there will be a gorgeous special effect of the knife light.

Like "Monster Hunter", the remaining blood volume of the giant will not be displayed on the UI, but giants with different blood volumes will have different actions. Players need to judge by themselves how many attacks are needed to knock down the giant.

In terms of the combat system, the player's main skill lies in: staying in the air without falling, successfully getting behind the giant, and pressing the button at the right time to slash.

The slash effect is like the perfect parry in "Sekiro", there is a certain judgment range, and when the player presses the slash button in the perfect range, the most fatal damage can be caused to the giant.

……

Like "Sekiro", the first thing to complete is the combat system of "Attack on Titan".

You only need to make a simple scene, a character, and a giant, and you can repeatedly test the intensity of the battle.

In the firework studio.

Huang Yan handed the handle to Hu Bin, and cast a "you go!" look.

Hu Bin coughed twice: "The value is the same as "Sekiro"?"

Huang Yan nodded: "Well... almost. However, according to the requirements of Mr. Zhong's design draft, the giant's attack power has been increased."

"Hehe..." The corners of Hu Bin's mouth twitched slightly, and it was indeed a familiar taste.

Anyway, no matter what the current value is, Zhong Ming's method of making the value is to directly super double the monster's value and it's over.

Since it is a Souls-based game, the basic numerical system of the game is naturally based on that of "Sekiro". As a numerical designer, Huang Yan dare not be so bold in making numerical values ​​by himself, but it is not a problem to copy the numerical values ​​of the previous game.

It’s just that copying is not considered playing. The mobs in “Attack on Titan” have improved compared to “Sekiro”, and the gameplay design has also been enhanced.

According to Zhong Ming, this is "a routine numerical adjustment to prevent the game from becoming too simple", but Huang Yan has only one thought about it: "Ha ha."

As for the specific enhancements...

Hu Bin intends to experience it himself.

After taking the handle, Hu Bin first did some spiritual construction for himself.

Recalling the experience of playing "Sekiro" before, Hu Bin is ready to die like a dog.

However, he still has some luck in his heart. After all, when he tried "Sekiro", it was a ready-made demo, which included the content of the entire Longquan mansion, and this demo is just a scene, a giant.

This can no longer die like a dog, right?
enter the game.

Hu Bin is very witty, and first made the character with the highest combat effectiveness in the game: Captain Levi.

There are several different characters in the game. Although they can all be played, their values ​​are different. There are differences in various aspects such as endurance, strength, and agility.And the captain is the one with the strongest combat effectiveness, whether in the plot or in the actual game.

Hu Bin thinks that using the strongest character should make it easier for me to play, right?

And it's not considered cheating, how can it be called cheating when it comes to testing!

Hu Bin first tried to use the three-dimensional mobile device, and quickly adapted to it, and the operation was smooth.

The use of the three-dimensional mobile device in the plot is complicated and requires a long time of hard training. In the game, it is completely simplified. Just push the joystick + button, and the character in the game will automatically use the three-dimensional mobile device to move, just like the "Spider-Man" game. The operating experience is similar.

"Okay, it's almost time to come."

Under Hu Bin's hint, Huang Yan put an ordinary giant in the scene and activated its AI.

Soon, the giant started to run towards Hu Bin's position with distorted steps.

"As long as you hit the back of the neck perfectly, you will die with one knife." Hu Bin cheered himself up, and then used the three-dimensional mobile device to fly towards the giant.

"Whizzing!"

The iron wire pierced the giant's neck perfectly. Hu Bin pushed the left joystick, and the commander began to rotate around the giant.

"Sprint!"

Hu Bin pressed the sprint button, and the three-dimensional mobile device behind the captain immediately spewed out a large amount of smoke. At the same time, the iron wire shrank rapidly, pulling the captain quickly towards the giant!

However, the moment Hu Bin pressed the sprint button, the giant raised his hand, and blocked his face with his open palm, just in time to grab the flying commander.

"Fuck!"

Hu Bin was stupid, he made a reckless sprint, and sent the captain directly into the giant's throwing technique, and was caught!
"Break free!"

Hu Bin immediately remembered that he had the ability to break free, but his hands obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of his brain. He pressed desperately, but only scratched off a few fingers of the giant, and the captain was still stuffed into the giant's mouth.

"die!"

A large character appeared on the screen.

Hu Bin raised his forehead, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Huang Yan also didn't dare to say anything, let alone remind Hu Bin that this is just a very common mob in the game, not an important node-type boss like the Giant of Armor.

In the plot, the commander was able to single-handedly kill more than a dozen giants, and he was able to capture the ape giant alive. However, he changed his personal operation and was directly buried in the mouth of an ordinary giant. This made Hu Bin feel very embarrassed .

He looked at Huang Yan silently, and Huang Yan immediately reset the whole scene understandingly.

The second time, Hu Bin learned a lot, and didn't rush over immediately, but flew around a few times, and even tried to cut off the giant's two hands before finally making a move.

As a result, when cutting the neck, because the timing of pressing the attack button was too early, he failed to cause fatal damage to the giant.Hu Bin wanted to adjust his position and strike again, but one of the giant's hands just recovered, and he slapped the soldier on the ground with a slap, and trampled to death on the spot with his foot.

"die!"

This time there was no reminder from Hu Bin's eyes, Huang Yan hurriedly pressed the reset button.

For the third time, Hu Bin was very nervous and pressed the attack button just as the captain was about to fly behind the giant's neck.

"It's done!"

A brilliant attack effect instantly appeared on the screen, which represented that the attack had successfully fatally weakened the back of the giant's neck!

The giant lost its strength and fell to the ground, which also marked that Hu Bin finally succeeded in beheading a giant.

"Success!"

"The difficulty is okay, the difficulty is okay!"

Hu Bin was very happy, and said to Huang Yan: "Just do it like this, I think the difficulty is okay!"

Huang Yan didn't dare to say anything more, nodded and said: "Okay, then follow this value."

Hu Bin is very happy, I have made great progress!

After clearing the level of "Sekiro", I feel that I am no longer a hard player in action games!
Look at the choice of attack opportunity, look at the timing of the attack, these are all practiced perfectly in "Sekiro"!

Even if I can kill it three times, it should be smoother than other players.

Hu Bin left happily and went about his own affairs.

Huang Yan hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't tell Hu Bin a more critical thing, that is, players don't only face one giant at the same time when fighting...

If you face three giants at the same time, the effect of the battle will be completely different...

It's just that Huang Yan didn't dare to spoil Hu Bin's good mood, so he could only wait for a while to explain this issue.

……

At the same time, the new building of Weiguang Interactive Entertainment has already begun to break ground.

According to the original plan, the building will be completed earlier than the theme park. After it is completed, it will be ready for one or two months before it can be relocated.After all, the construction technology in this world is more sophisticated, and there is no need for months to disperse the smell of paint that is harmful to health.

Many employees have already driven to the address of the new headquarters during their weekend breaks, wanting to see how the building is progressing.

This is a very critical thing for many people, especially some single new employees.It is said that after the completion of the new headquarters, the surrounding supporting facilities will include very cheap staff dormitories, free use of the gym swimming pool, game room and various other things.

For these single new employees, once the headquarters building is opened, they can live here forever.

The new headquarters building is also very important for those old employees who have already married and started a business.

Now they are all working in Huanyu Daguan. Although this is also a very decent office building, it is still not as good as it is.

When it comes to Shimmer Studios, every employee has a strong sense of pride, and a new headquarters building can undoubtedly inspire this pride even more.

Just like Zhong Ming's previous life, if someone asked you where you worked, you would say that a certain office building would have no reputation, and if you said that you worked at the Tencent headquarters, you would instantly get a lot of envious looks.

After the building is completed, these people can absent-mindedly take a picture of the blue sky and white clouds and send it to a Moments during lunch, and then "accidentally" reveal a corner of the headquarters building in the photo, and complete a low-key pretense.

Therefore, these employees were more impatient than Zhong Ming himself.

Recently, the publicity and distribution department of Weiguang Interactive Entertainment has not been idle, and the publicity work of "Attack on Titan" can almost start.

……

On the video website, as soon as the "Attack on Titan" promotional video was released, the number of views immediately increased dramatically, and it quickly reached the top ten in the game division, and then successfully reached the top!

This promotional video is the shortest among the games Zhong Ming has ever produced. It only lasts for one minute. Apart from the passionate melody, there are only one scene in the promotional video.

But these clips are very visually impactful, making players start to imagine!
Quiet and peaceful town, full of laughter and laughter.

Explosions and flames, huge giants appearing on the outskirts of the city walls.

Ugly and twisted giants swarmed into the big hole kicked open in the tall city wall.

People fled in panic, but were quickly caught by giants and turned into food.

Despair, fear, separation, or being buried in the mouth of giants together.

The soldiers saluted in unison, clenched their fists and beat their left chest, and offered their hearts.

Soldiers use three-dimensional mobile devices to zip through the town and fight fearsome giants.

Allen jumped down from the towering city wall and slashed at the super giant with a knife!

Finally, the picture freezes on a waving flag, which is the "Wings of Liberty" of the Survey Corps.

And with the end of the melody, the title of the game appeared on the screen: "Attack on Titan"!
Although it is only a short 1 minute, the amount of information shown in the video is very large, and it also provides players with a lot of room for imagination!
"New game from Xinhuo Studio!"

"Isn't it the sequel to Sekiro?"

"The background of this story is completely incomprehensible. It's not an oriental theme, nor is it a western fantasy theme, and the costumes of these characters have never been seen before!"

"Does this mean to fight these giants?"

"Is a new suffering game coming? I'm so excited!"

"Look at the picture in this video... Is it a brand new combat mode?"

After watching this promotional video, the vast majority of players have two mentalities: confusion and expectation!
The content of this video is very limited, but just a few pictures are very attractive, especially the scene of humans and giants fighting, which left a deep impression on the players.

What's more, after "Sekiro", Xinhuo Studio has received high praise from many hardcore player groups. Many players speculate that "Attack on Titan" will be another original suffering game, Such a game is certainly worth looking forward to!
