Mounts are one of the most critical parts of large-scale game design, and I remember seeing the trailer for Eldon's Ring of Law, my whole body trembled when I saw the spirit horse. It's been many years, and the Dark Souls series of games has finally appeared mounts, and there is no longer any need to run silly on their feet.
Horses are the most common mounts in the game, and the game known as the "Riding Simulator" in Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the design of the mount system to a whole new level.
In the game, the horses you see can get into your own stables, whether it is a small white horse walking in the snowy mountains, a horse race of NPCs who talk to you on the road, or a mixed-race BMW under the robber seat, as long as you have the ability to grab it, it is all yours.
It is said that it is a riding simulator because riding in this game saves players a lot of rush time. In addition, the riding system also has a certain gameplay. For example, you can ride slowly along the road at a leisurely pace, or you can jerk your horse and speed up. When a horse is frightened by a wild animal on the road, you can also pat the horse on the neck to soothe its emotions. And when you improve your fit with your horse, you can also make difficult moves to jump, traverse, and even stand on both hooves.
Of course, in addition to horses, there are other types of mounts, and some manufacturers do not design the mount system in the direction of specialization like Rockstar Games, they are more inclined to design in the direction of strangeness. For example, in "Sword Net III", there have been mounts such as Trojan unicycles. It is a two-person mount, and after riding on it, the two look somewhat similar to the classic scene in the movie "Titanic", but they don't know if they will be able to reach their destination safely.
In the game Ghost Recon Wildlands, there is also a unique mount. Say it is a motorcycle, but the shape is an alpaca, say it is an alpaca, and it is moved in the form of a motorcycle, and it can only be called an "alpaca motorcycle". And when the player rides this motorcycle, you can also hear a unique sound effect, if you turn on the nitrogen acceleration, it will also be in a fart way, for you to fly wildly.
In the "Dream World 3" mobile game, Xiaobian has also seen a very martial arts style mount. Saying that it is a mount, you may also underestimate it, which is no longer a mount, but a kind of "style" (Note: here the school refers to a way of travel). In many martial arts works, Xiaobian has also seen similar "styles", such as Ding Chunqiu, the leader of the Star Sect in "Tianlong Babu", and the undefeated East in "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", and the "mounts" they use in their appearances are all such "open-top palanquins".
The mounts mentioned above, although the shape is peculiar, but in the end they still play the role of mounts, improving the speed of the road. But in World of Warcraft, there's a more bizarre mount, and that's the Big Turtle. The world knows how fast the turtle is, using this animal as a mount, even the walking speed of the game character is not as good, and it can only be used to play handsome and collect.
Well, today Xiaobian will first say this, if you have seen other creative mounts, welcome to leave a message in the comment area to tell me.
