"Paladin 2" is a domestic RPG released in January 2003, although its name contains the word "Immortal Sword", but in the game can often see a variety of Regulus sword elements chaotic.
Among them, the material that appeared in "Xuanyuan Sword Outer Heavenly Trace" was the most, which once gave rise to a feeling of time and space confusion, and if you didn't look carefully, you thought you were playing "Traces of Heaven".
The most typical example is the side quest of Zhuge Mingyue. When the main story of the game reaches Fengdu, you will see a boy standing next to the drugstore.
Li Yiru chatted with him, chatting about the boy suddenly disappeared. At this time, a woman named Zhuge Mingyue appeared, and according to Yiru's description, she concluded that the boy was the unborn child in her own belly.
It turned out that Zhuge Mingyue's husband Feng Heyuan was the fate of the Lone Star of Heavenly Fire and would kill the six relatives. Her two previous children died before they were born, which is why.
Seeing that the third child who was about to be born would also experience the same fate, Feng Heyuan decided to completely end this fate.
Soon after, Impermanence came to Feng Mansion to ask for his life, and Xiao Hu and his party fought a big battle with Impermanence in order to prevent the tragedy from continuing.
Although the battle was won, the fate of the Lone Star could not be changed. In order to save the life of his children, Feng heyuan finally chose to die on behalf of his son.
This is a very sad side plot, but the biggest attraction is not this, but the backyard of the Feng Mansion.
Players who have played Traces of Heaven feel particularly familiar when they see the scene here?
This is clearly the scene of Yuwen Taishifu in "Traces of Heaven"!
At that time, Tuoba Yu'er went to yuwen Taishi Mansion alone to see Xiaoxue, but unfortunately was secretly calculated by the lord of NingKe County, and the place of the incident was in this courtyard.
The structure of these two scenes is almost exactly the same as the painting style, and the first impression is that the production team used the material of "Traces of Heaven" directly.
At that time, after playing here, I suddenly had a feeling of time confusion, and I always felt that the Lord of Ning Ke County would suddenly kill halfway.
In fact, such examples can be seen almost everywhere in "The Legend of paladin 2", not only in the backyard of Feng Mansion.
For example, in the angel scroll quest scene, does the red maple forest remind you of a scene somewhere?
Yes, this is almost a mold printed from the Sui Army camp forest scene in "Traces of Heaven". From the color rendering to the labyrinth structure, it's clear that Paladin 2 "borrowed" some elements from its own game.
But do you think it's over, in fact, this scene not only appears in "Paladin 2", but also in Daewoo's other game "Thunderbolt Legend", you can still see it.
It is still a familiar painting style, a familiar scene, a familiar leaf, and the material of the same scene has actually appeared in three games repeatedly, which can be described as no ancient person before and no one after.
In the middle of the game "Legend of the Paladin Sword 2", Xiao Hu and his party came to the Xianxia Sect through Mount Emei, and saw the huge stone pillar at the foot of the mountain, which still gave people a familiar feeling.
Thinking about it carefully, in fact, the same scene has also appeared in the Tarzan scene of "Traces of Heaven".
By comparing the upper and lower pictures, it is not difficult to find that except for the words on the plaque that have been replaced by "Taishan" to "Mount Emei", there is not much difference at all in other places.
In addition to the scenes, some of the mobs in Paladin 2 are also used directly from the Regulus Sword series, and the same gray wolf has also appeared in Regulus Voldemort.
The two wolves cannot be said to be indistinguishable, but can only be said to be exactly the same, and it is seriously suspected that the production team directly cut down the original picture in "Xuanyuan Voldemort" and used it in "The Legend of Paladin 2".
After talking about the monster, let's compare the two important characters, one is the Chiba Zen master in "The Legend of the Paladin Sword 2", and the other is Huo Luan in "Traces of Heaven".
Look at the faces of these two people, do you think they are very similar? Serious suspicions are that they are long-lost brothers. Of course, it is a bit far-fetched to say that they look exactly the same, but it can only be said that the painting style is very similar, and they all have a face that six relatives do not recognize.
In fact, by comparing the above games, it is not difficult to find that they have one thing in common, that is, they all have doMO team involved in production.
At that time, Daewoo attached great importance to the game "The Legend of the Paladin Sword 2", in addition to the fanatical working group led by Yao Zhuangxian, it also specially transferred Cai Minghong to lead the DOMO team to participate in the production of the game, who was mainly responsible for the research and development of the Xuanyuan Sword series.
Therefore, you can see many Xuanyuan sword series works in the game, including "Xuanyuan Voldemort", "The Other Side of the Clouds and Mountains", and "Traces of Heaven".
By the way, the music producers of "Traces of Heaven" are Wu Xinrui and Zeng Zhihao of the DOMO group, both of whom participated in the game music composition of "The Legend of paladin 2".
Many of the battle music and scenes BGM you hear in the Paladin and Regulus Sword series are from the hands of the duo, so there's a very intimate feel.
The above list is just the tip of the iceberg, from the game's music, art, to combat effects, the DOMO team is almost everywhere.
As for why the DOMO team wanted to reuse the material of the Regulus Sword in "The Legend of paladin 2", this is also related to the rotten tail of Paladin 2.
It's hard to imagine that it was a game that went public in 2003, knowing that in the same year Shanghai Softstar's Paladin 3 also came out.
These two games only look at the style, you can hardly see that they are the same year's work, and this is precisely because of the "Paladin 2" game case filing problems, the construction period is greatly extended, and eventually led to the result of the plot shrinkage and even the end of the listing.
Since the plot has shrunk, it is not difficult to understand the abuse of game materials. In order to shorten the construction period and save resources, the DOMO team directly took some elements of its own Xuanyuan Sword to xianjian 2 for use, and finally the phenomena mentioned in the article appeared.
Of course, you can also think that these are the game easter eggs set by the DOMO group, but the appearance of a large number of Regulus sword elements inevitably makes people feel a sense of crossing, making people mistakenly think that they are playing "Traces of Heaven".
No matter what the truth was back then, from the current point of view, the chaos of these Xuanyuan sword elements still brought a strange feeling to the Legend of the Paladin Sword 2.
