The so-called "no coincidence is not a book", the reality is often more outrageous than the plot of the novel, and there are many popular masterpieces in the history of games, which is purely coincidental.
Some people have said that dante, the male protagonist of the "Devil May Cry" series, looks very similar to Lyon of "Resident Evil", one of these two games is an action game that plays the battle out of the flower, and the other is a survival horror game that fights zombies, it seems that in addition to the things of capcom, the eight rods cannot be beaten, but in fact, "Devil May Cry" was born in "Resident Evil".
At that time, "Resident Evil 4" announced the development plan in 2001, the production team wanted to make the whole big job, add new elements to the game, and after a period of exploration, it was found that the game made had completely deviated from the theme of "Resident Evil" and became an action game with superpowers to fight demons.
However, this scrap case was not thrown away, but became the "Devil Cry" later, and it is precisely because of this scrap that many action elements appear in "Life 4", which are probably also affected by it.
Coincidentally, the origin of the Assassin's Creed series also comes from another game, when the IP of "Prince of Persia" has been squeezed to the point that there is no drop left, so the production team plans to rely on the world view and start a new stove, adding action elements such as stealth, assassination, and cornice walking. As a prince, you naturally can't jump around like a monkey all day, so the protagonist of the new game is arranged to be the prince's attendant.
Then the production team did it, and found that it didn't matter if there was a prince or not in the world, so go to you a prince! Lao Tzu went it alone, the Assassin's Creed series was born, and the Prince of Persia series was completely cool.
Compared with the above two coincidences, the birth of the national-level RPG "Paladin Legend" series is full of inevitability and the realization of personal dreams. According to yao xian yao zhuangxian, the "father of the immortal sword", he was originally influenced by "Dragon Quest" and "Xuanyuan Sword II", and he wanted to make an RPG with unforgettable love. So after busy with "Monopoly 2", he had no experience in RPG production and began to explore.
Influenced by the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan Mountain" by the owner of the Zhulou, plus like the works of Mr. Jin Yong, so from the beginning, the main tone of "Immortal Sword" is that there are martial arts and immortals, and the fledgling young people roam in the chaotic world, and finally grow into heroes to save the world, because Yao Xian especially likes the history of the Anshi chaos, so the historical background of the game is arranged in the period of the Anshi chaos.
The "ambition" of the original production team was very large, martial arts, fantasy, history, love wanted to do everything, but as the saying goes, "chasing two rabbits, not a rabbit", want to do too much, the first year of the script is written more and more Hi can not be stopped, had to be forced, tear down and rewrite.
At the beginning, the name of the game was called "Runaway Hero Kexing", because Yao Xian liked Li Bai and Du Fu very much, especially yearning for Li Bai's chivalrous spirit, so he planned to use the title of "Chivalrous Guest", but this title, Mr. Jin Yong has already used, so he crowned the name of the game's male protagonist Li Xiaoyao in front. As for why it was later changed to "The Legend of the Paladin Sword", it is because the script has been greatly changed, and the title of pure martial arts style is no longer appropriate, so it has been replaced by a one that contains both fantasy and martial arts.
Because to talk about the mysterious fantasy, so many myths in the land of China, it is natural that the larger the play space, the better, so the production team chose the legend of Nüwa, from the perspective of fabricating people from the soil and supplementing the qingtian, Nüwa Niangniang is definitely a positive image, plus there are fewer Nüwa myths circulated by the event, and it is very convenient to borrow the topic to play.
In fact, just these backgrounds and title arrangements can already be found that Yao Xian's knowledge is very wide, from novels to historical myths to poetry and songs. Why is the birth of "Immortal Sword" full of inevitability and personal dreams, because Yao Xian understands these cultures and wants to make such a game, except here, there will be no second "Immortal Sword" series on earth.
