In the early years on the console, because the controller was not as accurate as the key rat in the operation of the shooter, although many games opened the online battle mode, but it was always based on the shooting game of the PVE linear plot. With the continuous development of PC online games later, shooting games have long become the world of keyboard and mouse devices, and some PVP shooters have instantly become the mainstream. Even the console side has slowly set its sights on these main confrontational online shooter gameplay.
Some games with a linear story and shooting elements have opened up online mode, allowing players to play PVP battles. And some of the original PVP shooting games have also been ported to the console side, from "Overwatch" to "APEX Heroes", these PVP shootings have attracted a large number of players, even if the operation of the same controller, this kind of gameplay is still popular.
Nowadays, the rise of mobile games, from the perspective of the general environment, relying on the convenience of mobile games and the characteristics of being able to open anytime and anywhere, PVP shooting games seem to be still a major trend. And from the device point of view, compared to the host controller specifically optimized for the auxiliary aiming of the PVE shooting game, the touch screen of the mobile terminal does not seem to have much difference in the operation of PVE and PVP, and many mobile games have also added auxiliary aiming without exception to reduce the threshold of the player. Therefore, the shooting gameplay of PVP seems to be more suitable for mobile games.
So, is there no PVE shooter on mobile? Of course not. Here we need to mention a well-known manufacturer - Gameloft. I believe many players know that the manufacturer has launched a well-known game series "Modern Warfare". The series consists of 6 films, namely 1 generation of Desert Storm, 2 generations of Black Pegasus, 3 generations of Fallen Kingdom, 4 generations of Decisive Moment, 5 generations of Vertigo Storm and 6 generations of Rush Showdown.
The series has laid the core gameplay of single-player story and multiplayer since generations 1-2, although the game contains multiplayer battles, but the story mode is still the main theme of players. From the 5th generation, the game began to slowly focus on the PVP mode, although the game still has a story play, but this generation of single-player mode did not have much highlights, until the 6th generation, the "Modern Warfare" series completely abandoned the single-player mode, the main PVP.
The evolution of Modern Warfare's mode seems likely to be the epitome of gunfight shooters in mobile games, and similar to many shooters on other platforms, PVP has gradually replaced PVE as mainstream. Of course, this does not mean that PVE is no longer popular with players, but for game developers, carefully designing a story story is far less than doing a good job of PVP to drive players to be active.
So, when I saw a 3D third-person PVE shooter featuring light sci-fi, I was incredibly surprised. This game is Dusty Forbidden Zone.
The game was developed using the Unreal Engine 4. The background of the game is also based on the familiar future world and the topic of the inseparable AI robot. The spread of terminal illness among adolescents, known decades ago as "adult disease", has led to a significant reduction in the age-appropriate workforce worldwide. It is precisely for this reason that humans have to develop the AI and robot industries at a high speed. This has also led to the entry of human civilization into a completely different direction.
Of course, the future world also has e-sports, but it seems to be a little more advanced. In 2057, there is one of the top virtual esports events in the world called "Valkyrie Games". At the scene of its annual final, a huge unknown humanoid creature "Titan" suddenly appeared and caused a huge explosion. Since then, such advent events have occurred many times, and even frequent visions have occurred around the world.
Three years later, the "World Tree" set up the "Heimdall Force" to fight the Titans, and will go deep into the original accident isolation area "Zero Area" to perform the "Detection-Observation-Collection" mission. The player joins the experimental armed forces as an analyst and acts with the other members. In the process, we will gradually uncover the scars of human society after the advent of the Titans, and the truths that have been deliberately hidden behind hatred and tearing.
In short, the background worldview is much the same as many two-dimensional games, and I am more concerned about the gameplay, just mentioned that the game is PVE shooting. This is different for the mainstream game direction that now focuses on the PVP experience.
Although the mainstream shooters are mainly realistic, or the cartoon rendering style of "Overwatch", the combination of two-dimensional + shooting has slowly begun to increase recently. For example, several known two-dimensional shooting mobile games in development are "Kara Picchu" and "Sluder". However, unlike other two-dimensional game types, the category of shooting games itself pays attention to the pleasure of shooting and related experiences, and the fault tolerance rate of most of the two-dimensional games that pay attention to "adoptive wives" is not very high. Therefore, it is necessary to make a feature.
Like "Carabichu", the main theme is the "paper man" gimmick. However, the various characters in the game can really become paper people, not only melting the stem, but also very cleverly doing the gameplay.
And "Sluder" is also very distinctive, the main bullet screen air combat, the characters need to dodge and attack in the air, mobile games in this way of playing works are actually rare.
Therefore, if "Dust And White Forbidden Zone" cannot give people a bright feeling in the gameplay, it will look ordinary. Perhaps this is because of this, the game takes the main PVE gameplay as the core of the game, whether you have participated in the test of the game or not, you can already realize from the real camera video that has been exposed so far that "Dusty Forbidden Zone" is indeed very interesting in the setting.
First of all, the action elements of the game are very rich, because it is often necessary to deal with different scenes, so each character has some corresponding special abilities.
Whether it's suitable for long-range combat or sniping.
He is still good at fire bombing when facing giant bosses.
or monomeric eruptions.
or AOE sweeping.
You can also dodge in the face of enemy attacks.
Each character looks like a good experience.
Perhaps in this day and age, PVP shooting is indeed a point of attraction for players, but there are still many players who take pleasure in challenging levels and cooperating with each other. All in all, this relatively new way of playing is still very optimistic about me personally. As for whether the PVE shooting mobile game can still adapt to the current game environment? Let's wait and see!
