2. The protagonist of the drama version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is determined, and the Asian + black double BUFF
I believe that many people have seen the movie version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and the TV series version is currently ready to be broadcast.
Recently, according to foreign media Variety, the male and female masters of the episodic version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" have been selected, and Maya Erskin ("Pen Writing Youth") will play the female lead, and Donald Glover ("Atlanta") will play the male lead. The show was originally scheduled to be played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, but due to disagreements with Donald Glover, Bridge decided to quit.
The episodic version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith was created by New Regency and Amazon, with Donald Glover working on the script for the final episode, and he and Francesca Sloane, among others, will serve as co-creators and operators. The official promise will work hard to make the audience and fans of the original film like it. The series will land on Amazon Streaming in 2022.
3, Unreal 5 "The Matrix: Awakening" Demo, 3090 can not move
Recently, Unreal 5 Engine has attracted the attention of many players, but the actual effect is still unknown. EPIC recently released a free downloadable sample project, "The City Sample", based on the Matrix: Awakening Demo.
YouTube channel AJ Gaming tested the demo on a high-end PC, and his configuration is the i9 12900K and Nvidia RTX 3090 graphics card. The result was unsatisfactory, with The Matrix: Awakening having only 30-50FPS frames. At the same time, the resolution of the demo cannot be changed, according to him, the number of pixels is displayed at 1440P, not even 4K. Cpu utilization is also very low.
However, it is quite possible that this demo has not been optimized for PC, because Epic is only using it as an Unreal 5 sample to attract developers, and not as complete as the Previous Matrix: Awakening technology demo that landed on the console.
4, "Fall of the Gods: Ultimate Edition" Steam released, the current evaluation is "mixed"
"Fall of the Gods" after a long period of EPIC exclusive, finally launched on the steam platform, the first launch and discount, the current 75% discount after 96 yuan, the original price of 128 yuan.
However, for the quality of the game, there are still many players who do not buy it, and even the old brother who has played in EPIC deliberately came to Steam to buy a bad review of the game, calling RPM directly.
5. Overwatch 2 4 PVP maps exposed
On April 8, Blizzard officially announced the "Map Design for a New Chapter of Overwatch" blog post, and exposed four PvP maps that will debut in the April 27 test.
The specific original text is as follows:
When designing the new Overwatch map, the team kept several issues in mind. But ultimately, we wanted the art and aesthetic design of the map to increase the complexity and depth of gameplay. To reflect overwatch's transformation in the new chapter, we've made a lot of changes.
A classic example is the addition of bunkers to existing Overwatch maps in response to the new status quo of fewer heavily armored heroes. Another example is the new day-night cycle, which makes parts of the map appear clearer or more hazy and constructs a different atmosphere for each map.
This design concept and development inspiration is reflected in Overwatch 5v5's new four PvP maps, which will debut in tests on April 27 – Toronto's New Queen Street, Rome's Colosseum, New York City's Midtown, and Monte Carlo's Royal Circuit!
New Queen Street and the Colosseum are the first maps for Overwatch's new core game mode, The Motorized Advance. Players will start from both sides of the mirror map and compete fiercely in the center of the map to push the robot to the other end of the path.
"The objectives of these maps are basically the same as those of the game mode. Due to the characteristics of the maneuvering propulsion mode itself, the pace of this mode is much faster than that of the mode of occupying the main points and carrying the target. Game director Aaron Keller said. He then described the maneuvering propulsion map as "a bit of a leaky air, so it's easy to wrap around the rear." You need to keep an eye on many points. ”
Because the maneuver propulsion map is symmetrical, there are design choices that can make a difference between the two sides of the map. "We wanted to be able to make subtle changes, such as the cool color of the map on this half and the warm color on the other side.
You'll find unique signage, storefronts, and aesthetic designs on both sides of the map. Art Director Dion Rogers mentioned. The team added visual cues through these design choices, clarifying the gameplay objectives of maneuvering propulsion and enhancing the gameplay experience.
You may also find this development strategy in other game modes; the new Royal Circuit, a target-carrying map, and the Attack/Escort Map Midtown, both of which cleverly use environment design to guide the player through their actions with visual effects.
Rogers further explains, "We designed the target points as landmark buildings, such as midtown's fire station and Central Station, to highlight these points. Players can identify important locations on the map at a glance and let the world scene guide the game mode. ”
This guidance can guide the player to the target point or other key positions, such as the ramp bend of the Royal Circuit, which is a dangerous position where tacit teamwork is enough to turn the tide of battle. "The consecutive curves are similar to strategic sprints, creating a tense atmosphere that motivates players to start a team battle." Rogers said. "A united team can be here unimpeded, but you have to be in tune."
Maps can support game modes in many ways, and they are also important narrative tools that help us build overwatch worlds.
"We want players to feel like they've traveled back in time and witnessed the golden age of these cities." Rogers said. "In every map, we want to capture the 'golden hour' through the architecture, the culture, the vision of the city – we want to convey it in the design."
Toronto's snow and red maple leaves are truly beautiful, and its multicultural history creates a warm and inclusive atmosphere. At the Royal Circuit, the art team highlights Monte Carlo's bustling and luxurious architecture, as well as the city's most recognizable and prestigious events!
The super-rich will come here to play and watch the AI decide on the track. The gladiators of Rome chose the Renaissance as their theme, and also drew inspiration from the gladiators of ancient Rome. New York's skyscrapers plunged into the sky, and the Art Deco style also inspired the design team.
