I don't know if you have found that maybe is starting from the original god, the magic tower has poured a fire, and the category of "open world" has received more and more attention and popularity in China. In open-world games, we can often explore freely in a particularly large map, and the scene can be interacted with in large and small places, such as the chopping wood in Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness, the car in GTA to grab the garage, and the characters generally do not have fixed tasks and processes, and it is finished by casual exploration, commonly known as "the beginning of a whiteboard, all earned by yourself".
In fact, the original god of fire, in a sense, is not a typical open-world game, because most of the game time of the original god is spent on character cultivation, holy relics, upgrading materials, and their own adventure levels, etc. The map is not so much for us to explore freely, but rather as a tool for us to complete specific tasks, and is a collateral product for serving them.
Not to mention the magic tower, a little understanding will find that this is actually a complete mmo game, as for the map... Except for the big, the rest is nothing outstanding, and it is far from the configuration of the "Open World Map". However, this does not affect the manufacturers to "open the world" this piece of food, although 2022 has just begun, but known, there are Photon Studio's "Snow Knife Line" mobile game, the king IP new work "Glory of the King: The World", "Rock Kingdom" mobile game announced that it will lean in the direction of open world gameplay, the competition is fierce.
Compared with the first two models are still in the development stage, NetEase's side of the cold water, can be described as "quick to climb first", with the "Open World - Mountains and Seas" map in the annual expansion pack launched on January 20, for the first time on the basis of the traditional mmorpg online game, added an independent new open world gameplay. In the end is a gimmick or really do this category, but also from the real machine and gameplay introduction to find clues:
Although it is difficult to understand what the official concept of "24,000 square kilometers" is, but just look at the forward-looking picture, the content volume is still enough, jungle, snow, desert, volcano, as well as picking, climbing, jumping and other character actions, and the rolling of falling rocks in the scene, the scene interaction of animals and plants, are more realistic, in line with the requirements of the shaping of the "new world".
In terms of gameplay, according to the official introduction of reverse water cold, it can be summarized as the form of "survival + free exploration". In [Open World - Mountains and Seas], the weapons you carry with you, the mounts that assist transportation, the food and medicine that maintain the character attribute bar, etc., all need to be built and captured by yourself, and all accounts are treated equally. In each scene, there are also customs bosses and world bosses, and you can choose to fight alone or in teams. Personally, I think that just by virtue of the "fairness" and "degree of freedom" embodied in these two points, the open-world gameplay of the reverse water cold can be said to be the one that is most suitable for the "open world" in today's domestic games. I don't know what you think?
