What can be changed in 20 years?
You can make a small fresh meat an uncle.
Can make a clumsy computer the size of a wallet.
It's also possible to make a game go from being like a full-screen mosaic to being fine to the point where the hair is visible.
These changes are absolutely suitable for the legendary IP.
20 years ago, the legend was still a group of villains in the 2.5D perspective, swinging weapons in the dance of the sword lightsaber shadow to chase the wild boar; 20 years later, "Legend 4" has become a 3D perspective, the proportion of characters and monsters is just right, casually pulling out a wild monster, is also a very good model design.
20 years ago, the legendary Beach City, Shabak, classic place names and architecture let people have an ancient atmosphere at a glance, and now "Legend 4", the city tower of Beach City is brilliant, and the sunshine behind it is a bit dazzling.
The "baby" in the legend 20 years ago was tamed by various beasts, and 20 years later, the baby in "Legend 4" became a cute pet elf.
Even let the role of the Taoist priest in the game change gender, from a master with a leisure fan in his hand to a sword dancer.
Of course, what has changed more is that the group of people who play legends have changed. 20 years of time has indeed changed a lot, just like the legend of such a classic IP, from 2001 to 2022, not only experienced the rapid development of game technology, but also experienced the internet era of earth-shaking changes. It is impossible to keep the original appearance, and it is impossible to keep the gameplay unchanged. Even if the legend's influence and vitality are excellent internationally, it cannot make a game produced by an IP stand intact.
The times are changing, the technology is changing, the audience is changing, the gameplay, the way, the aesthetic are changing, and "Legend 4" just conforms to the trend of the times. Admittedly, there is a huge technical gap between the two games, but there is no difference in terms of bringing players pleasure.
The only difference is that "Legend 4" is more livery than the old legend, "Legend 4" can endlessly brush resources, upgrade the level, increase the combat strength, while the old legend has a charging point, at a certain stage, it is difficult to achieve the goal of kryptonite only by relying on the liver game. Fortunately, many players in "Legends 4" have feedback that as long as you master the skilled equipment collocation in the game, you can quickly increase your combat strength, and then quickly increase your experience points and complete the level increase.
The two games are now very different, and even the audience has become two different types of people, but this does not mean that either one is more superior, after all, as long as you have fun, they are good games.
