To ask which game company is most keen on making a station-style sniper game, the author wants to make sure it is Glu. "Deer Hunter", "Jurassic", "Sniper X", "Mission Impossible 5" and so on can be described as all-encompassing, as long as it is a living creature that can move, it will not escape the clutches of the Glu team sooner or later, and maybe the next work will take the alien knife.
However, the same kind of work is developed more, more and more experienced at the same time, the lack of creativity and the similarity of the model is inevitable, just like a product of an assembly line, in the end to change into a different packaging, is the atmosphere of not thinking ahead also plagues Glu? With the release of this new work "Deer Hunter 2016", we may be able to see the clues. Now take up arms and dive deep into the vast Alaskan jungle to find out.
The quality of the picture and sound
The mood is only in front, and the picture is unbalanced
When you first enter the main interface of the game, I believe you will be interested in the regional scene of the oil painting style, and with the background music of the western style of the country minor key, you will definitely feel that these are cool. But don't be too happy too soon, this practice of blurring the picture quality for the sake of the mood also exists in the hunting mode, but those are not for the sake of the mood, but just for the sake of laziness to say this.
Or do you go back to the task interface first, look at these rough fonts in the screen, especially the Chinese in the unlocked area behind that are large enough to have pixels appear, you don't think this is a beautiful embodiment, you say this is Chinese format optimization problem? Well, let's take a look at the picture quality of the hunting mode animals and scenes.
I have to say that Glu has made great efforts in modeling these animals, whether it is body proportions, movement steps, or facial expressions, etc., there is a sense of subtlety, and it has been quite successful in the entire body, but the scene portrayal is still dragging its feet. If you focus your eyes on the animals and don't pay attention to the flaws of the scene, the beauty of nature can still be felt.
Once you stare at the ground, there is a sense of surprise. The entirely speck of pixel-spotted ground spreads straight out, covering every inch of Alaska's jungle. The branches and grasses near the line of sight did not have the effect of being blown by the wind, but stretched left and right like the PS map, or the overall stretch, it was really rough and indescribable.
To say that the most beautiful place in the scene is the distant mountain forest, because far away, but you can use a vague way to depict the landform, so that you can not feel the mosaic trouble, which is a common disease of many games that boast excellent graphics.
The sound effect is also as silent as a lurking hunter
Of course, if you don't have too many requirements for the picture yourself, you can still start this hunting operation very happily. Once you've decided to enter your prey's habitat, hold your breath and mute your phone so as not to startle the snake, especially not to make strange noises, and to physically hold back what you can try to restrain.
As with the actual hunt, any background music will disappear after the mission begins, and only the sound of the cold wind and the crisp sound of fiddling with the guns are particularly prominent at this moment, until we fire the first shot, and the explosion of the bullet will cut through the silent grassland, causing the "natives" of the land to panic and flee.
For the design game of sniper assassination, it is indeed impersonal to find a stubble in music, then we still talk about the sound design of guns and animals, which has actually been one of the common problems of such games, at least the author we did not feel the difference in weapons caused by significant changes in sound effects, and what we heard was often the same explosion sound, as for the difference in sound performance between animals, the author can only say that the rich is taken for granted, is it that the cries of sheep and bears when they fall to the ground are all "meh"?
Gameplay and system pros and cons
Get up close and personal with animals from around the world
Although there is no Chinese Shennongjia, but when you see the current eight hunting areas with different styles, you still have to be moved, the map is more natural and playable, first of all, regardless of whether the animals appear repeatedly, it is still good to be able to walk around the world, not to mention that each region itself has a rich scene to choose from, especially the climate changes, only in the cold those snow-white goats will appear in our field of vision.
Each of the eight regions has a species with local characteristics, and when you encounter an animal that is familiar in textbooks in a new area, you may wish to check the information, maybe the main habitat of this animal is the land where you are located. Of course hunting is not slaughter, you don't have high-end armed equipment, so you must have the courage to face the ferocious carnivores, such as bear attacks, which exist in your daily challenge training and honor hunting.
Don't panic, you'll be lurking in the grass around them at the start of the mission, at least they won't raise their claws to slap you as soon as they come up. But you know, your weapons can't solve them with one shot, if you see the bear pounce on you panic, click on the screen randomly or shoot it again, and this moment can calmly aim at its heart or lungs again, then congratulations, the glory of the sharpshooter and the reward gold coins are worth having.
Rich, strange and cumbersome game system
To ask what are the elements of this game that are worth playing, the author believes that the rich content is more attractive, excellent graphics are only the finishing touch after all, in contrast, the challenge of various guns and prey is the motivation to support the player to go all the way, you see the names of the animals in the honor hunt, although the design is not touched, but it is to attract your attention, will make you associate with the cool images outside the game.
The same goes for gun design, where names like "Storm Hammer" and "Goddess of War" don't really look like hunting weapons and more like a war meat grinder. Once you have these weapons, they will slowly develop towards torture rather than hunting, and this design cannot be killed by a pole, because there are players who like these special guns and can attract recharge consumption, and he has the need to exist.
Strange places are inseparable from the hunting system. In fact, many of the game's mechanics are designed to make the experience more convenient for players, so they can't be done according to the actual step-by-step process. When there are multiple targets in the mission, your first shot, even if it is a loud explosion, will not immediately disturb the rest of the prey, but will stimulate the increase in the alarm value, you do not need to panic too much to complete the task, provided that your marksmanship is accurate enough and does not empty the gun.
Even in Alaska, your hunting trip will gradually encounter major problems, and the minimum gun attribute conditions set for each mission will surely become one of the main reasons for you to uninstall the game. You say that you are a master and can only pass the level with a pistol, but the hunting organization will not bird you, and you must meet the entry conditions of the gun to let you in. Honestly, each upgrade is not expensive, but the combined improvement of the six attributes is a bit torturous.
You have to constantly look for some low-level targets to enter to work and make money, want to repeatedly brush previous tasks to make money? The developer can only say that you think too much, and if you want gold bars and hunting coins, then hand over a lot of gold. Although it doesn't involve these things in the early stages, when you want to keep playing and going to the jungles around the world, you must mentally equip yourself, save this week's lunch money, and take those "ultimate weapons" home.
Look forward to more perfect works in the future
Inheriting the consistent style of Glu's original style, the hunting experience is still quite good, even if the old wounds have not healed and added new diseases, but it is still stronger than many similar games on the market, especially the old players of the "Deer Hunter" series, after two years, the new work may wish to try it, look at the changes between 2014 and 2016, maybe wait until 2018, then start hunting aliens.
