Ape God, start!
I believe that all friends who watched today's "Black Myth: Wukong" trial live broadcast will have a good impression of this scene.
(That is, bullying Brother Monkey will not slip)
A thousand "Heavenly Mandate People" from all over the country came to Hangzhou in response to the call, originally thinking that they were heroes of the world who stepped on colorful auspicious clouds to save the female bodhisattvas on the way to the sutras from fire and water.
This tiger brother is much more ruthless than the "two-dimensional tiger brother" on Shenyang Street, and the tiger general who immediately crossed the knife fully showed everyone with monkey heads one by one, what it is to Chinese have its own big tree guard.
(Lives are also fate)
The demo opens four levels, three independent bosses: Hundipede, Akajiri Horse Monkey, Tiger Pioneer, and a complete map "Purple Cloud Mountain" with two hidden bosses: the Man of the Hidden Way, the Poisonous Enemy King, and a level boss, the Obscure Moon Demon Lord.
Among them, except for Akajiri Horse Monkey, who is an old actor who has shown his face in the previous real machine demonstration, other monsters and bosses are raw faces, and the beautiful snake demon and the white foot insect inevitably caused the XP awakening of several teachers in the editorial department, which seems to confirm the "love simulation" on the Steam label, what uncanny valley effect, in the eyes of the editorial department teacher is all Happy Valley.
(Xu Xian turned out to be myself)
When releasing the demo spots, Game Science said that the main focus of this demo was on the action design and combat logic of the boss level, and the plot and collection were less disclosed.
I have to say that the action design presented in the demo live broadcast is obviously much better than the previous real machine demonstration, the movements are smooth and silky, the light and heavy attack system and the posture system of the Renwang make the moves very strategic, but unfortunately, for 3 years, players seem to be still struggling with the so-called "sense of blow" problem. I personally feel that the fly in the ointment is the default damage number that the barrage also repeatedly mentions, the spicy eyes have a page game flavor, and the blood bar has been displayed in the case of a bit of a snake, which may be the stereotype brought by the first live machine demonstration, which makes us think that this is a game that is biased and as much as possible so that the player does not perceive the "value".
At present, the action system of Black Myth seems to focus on "using various spells to deal with bosses", and the up with a trial play on station B can skillfully use spell breaking moves to achieve almost no damage through each boss. Our editor's Chunci brother praised this kind of battle logic very much, and very restored the original Journey to the West The number of paths in which attributes are mutually beneficial, magic weapon fighting methods, and big moves are seen and moved.
Of course, there may still be some backplane needs. Like today's Tiger Pioneer, the frequency of attacks and the desire to attack seem to be the swaying hand remnants, and it is estimated that in the future, it is estimated that the combination of spells to release fighters and dodge stealing knives will be used to open the gap between ordinary players and masters.
Objectively speaking, the excellent quality and solid framework of this trial have indeed given confidence to players who are waiting for it, but I don't know if it has made all fans who are looking forward to "Black Myth: Goku" feel at ease.
Everyone rushed to tell each other, as if the dream of "the first domestic 3A masterpiece" was imminent, some players opened champagne and began to compare with foreign masterpieces, some players turned on the "time police" mode, fiercely tortured the little sunspot who sang the black myth, and some players muttered "cultural output" and started an open-world game.
(Off-field wars are much more exciting than on-field)
At the same time, those who finally let go of a little heart should be the game science guys.
At four o'clock in the morning the day before the trial began, Yang Qi, co-founder of Game Science, stayed up all night, saying on Weibo: "When the things you worry about are close at hand, it's often not the worst time." Another founder, Feng Ji, apparently got a good night's sleep and comforted him in the comments section in the morning: "Just do what we have to do." ”
Before the trial began, Feng Ji, who was still calm, posted on Weibo, telling some of his thoughts on this year's 820. He said, "I want to try my best to give the results of the current stage of work directly to everyone to experience, without concealment or reservation." ”
Different from the actual machine demonstration in previous years, Game Science's offline demo + online live broadcast of 8.20 this year was like a thunder on the ground once announced, and everyone's appetite was enough.
You know, as early as 20 years when Black Myth released the first video, it caused overwhelming discussion, in addition to the eager expectations of game fans, there were countless accusations and abuses, and this doubt even continued until months ago. Some people question the violent death of the project, question the running away with money, question that the real machine demonstration every year is to broadcast "fake videos", do a CG a year to fool it, and so on.
(Most of the 2000+ comments were about running away or dying)
In the current fragmentation of large-scale domestic single-player games, many people's understanding of the "3A masterpiece" will inevitably fall into one-sided and empirical theory, seeing scene interaction is the open world, boss battle is difficult is soul games, plus the anti-bomb mechanism is to stamp "copy a wolf".
People don't understand the development process of large-scale games, and they don't understand the huge time and money costs behind them, so they rush to the scene, saying that this is a "fake video" and a pie.
(The main creative team is especially vindictive about the "fake video" statement)
You rode a fierce horse in Damascus, worked as a pirate in the European seas, punished evil and promoted good in the American West, and became a legend on the continent of Hyrule. Finally, you return to your hometown, on that Huaguo Mountain, next to the water curtain cave, you say that you want to be your own hero again.
The protagonist of "Black Myth: Wukong" is not the golden-armored Xiangyun omnipotent Qi Tian Dashen, but a monkey, a monkey who could have been free and casual and let loose in the mountains and wilderness, but he unloaded his mortal bones, picked up the destiny of heaven, and traveled west again. This is not the domestic game makers who put down the stable and income-generating krypton gold game projects and give it a go for domestic stand-alone machines. Some of them are on the cusp of the storm, some are unfortunate to temporarily fall to the trough, and some are silently working and waiting for the opportunity.
We hope to see someone feel the stones to cross the river, like a hundred and eighteen thousand miles west to seek scripture, wade out a modern game development road to heaven, so that more people and more investors can see the potential and value of this ninth art in China, so that domestic game practitioners have a more relaxed environment to tell our own stories. As Game Science says, "In this world, there are always brave lives, and once again embark on the road to learn from the experience." "I hope that after many years, looking back today, it is a new chapter in Chinese games.
Where is the way, you ask?
The road is at your feet.
