In your heart, who is the best domestic martial arts MMO terminal game?I think there are many answers, but the answer to Sword Network 3 should be the most, after all, not every game can "open low and go high", but the reputation of the operation has been rising for fifteen years, and a new expansion pack "Fog Sea Cloud Dragon" was launched in the fifteenth year, and a three-end interconnected "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" was launched.
According to the official statement, "Sword Net 3 Unbounded" means that this piece of rivers and lakes will no longer be limited by time and space, and the three ends will be interconnected and unbounded. To put it simply, the data of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" and the terminal game "Sword Network 3" are completely interoperable, and your character data, appearance props, and social relationships on the "Sword Network 3" terminal game can be fully inherited to the mobile platform, and realize seamless interoperability with the terminal game.
In the current situation where a number of MMO terminal games have switched to mobile terminals and made new mobile games, the slogan of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" data exchange can be described as a "clear stream", which clearly shows the "spoiling" of old players.
The idea is indeed beautiful, but this "unprecedented" plan has also attracted a lot of worries and doubts, and even the project team has to admit that it is a very likely "thankless" behavior. But they still pushed forward with the project, and it will be officially open beta this year. So before the open beta, how did the second test of the "appetizer" perform? I can only say that the current quality has exceeded our expectations.
The ceiling of mobile MMO games
When it comes to the picture quality of the end game of "Sword Network 3", it is naturally not worth saying, from the hand-drawn version, the remake version to this year's flagship version, Sword Network 3 has been in operation for 15 years, and the picture quality of the PC side has been upgraded all the way, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the current "ceiling of terminal game appearance". But transplanted to the mobile terminal, it is inevitable that people will lower their expectations for its picture quality, but it turns out that the appearance of the mobile terminal of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" is very good, and it is not inferior to the PC side.
In this experience, whether it is the details of the character's skin, the fabric material of the appearance, or the lighting of the vegetation in the scene, it is all presented with amazing high-precision images. If you are an old player who left the remake version, and when you first enter "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" and see this familiar and unfamiliar Daoxiang Village, you will sincerely sigh, "What year is tonight"? Not to mention the slender rain silk of Yangzhou, the fine snow of pure yang, the beautiful maple leaves of Fenghua Valley, etc., in "Sword Network 3 Unbounded", every grass and tree has a very good detailed performance, and every scene is delicate and nuanced.
High-precision character modeling on mobile
Character screen performance on the mobile terminal
What's even more surprising is that while maintaining this high-precision picture, the optimization performance of "Sword Net 3 Unbounded" in various configurations is also quite good. This is also because "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" is based on the movie-level image quality of the remastered version on the PC side, giving priority to presenting high-precision characters, and presenting a comfortable visual experience with as little hardware burden as possible.
In terms of mobile performance, with Redmi Note 13 Pro+ for experience, you can turn on the "extreme" image quality without lag in actual play, and the operation is very smooth, and players with lower configurations can choose "simple", "balanced", "movie" multiple image quality, you can also customize the picture quality, adjust the upper limit of the frame rate, the number of players on the same screen, the number of special effects, rendering accuracy, etc., and tailor the picture quality according to your own needs and configurations. In addition, "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" also has a special notebook speed end, which is designed for ultra-thin books, business books, and MAC ends, no matter what configuration you can play smoothly, to say "spoil" players, Sword Network 3 can be said to be the best end game.
Notebook speed end character performance
It turns out that you also play Sword Net 3
I have to say that "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" is a "chess" with one step and a second step, as soon as the second test was opened, it blew up the well-known e-sports player "Uzi" Weibo to ask Guo Weiwei for the test code, and related topics directly appeared on Weibo hot search, both Sword Network 3 players and Uzi fans were dumbfounded, "It turns out that you also play Sword 3?" This two-way hot search belongs to the traffic of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded", and it also proves that the fifteen years of accumulation of "Sword Network 3" is really not blown, and friends and businessmen are envious.
UZI's matter just verifies the saying in the game circle, "The players of Sword Net 3 are like sweet potatoes in the ground, usually inconspicuous, but they are piled up when they are dug up". Over the years, there have been countless bigwigs who have come out to play "Sword Network 3", including Zhou Shen, Zeng Shunxi, Wang Sicong, Wan Qian, and Jiangning's mother-in-law...... These bigwigs have all been Sword Three players, which also proves that there are countless sweet potatoes in Sword Net Three.
This is due to the fifteen years of high-reputation operation of "Sword Network 3", which has really attracted batches of "sweet potatoes" into the pit, and in the past fifteen years, some players AFK in work and life, some players AFK in equipment, and some players AFK in the departure of friends...... They are buried in the soil like sweet potatoes in the ground, and they usually don't come up, but they are a lot of them when they are blown up by "Sword Net 3 Unbounded".
These players left their beloved rivers and lakes for a variety of reasons, but they never gave up their attention and love for Sword Net 3. Now the emergence of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" is undoubtedly an opportunity for these players to return again. The ceiling-level picture performance, smooth four-end optimization, and data exchange for the sake of old players represent the efforts of "Sword Network 3" to serve old players well, so that more old players can return to the rivers and lakes.
The only large-scale MMO terminal game parallel porting mobile game
On the one hand, some players have been introduced from the terminal game player group to the mobile game, and the popularity and turnover of the terminal game have declined, on the other hand, the benefits and gameplay of the mobile game have been adapted and improved in the terminal game, resulting in the terminal game and the mobile game player group not getting used to each other, and the two sides are arguing in the community.
And "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" uses the "stupid" method that "smart people" can't look down on, and the data exchange between the terminal game and the mobile game is dead. After all, the original intention of the development of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" was to serve old players well, and they didn't want to make a new mobile game to blow up the "gold coins" of old players. It is true that it is easy and profitable to make an IP-adapted mobile game, but as Guo Weiwei said, "the primary reason for pushing Sword Network 3 to the mobile terminal is not to expand new users in the mobile field, but to be responsible for existing users", which is also the fundamental reason why "Sword Network 3" has stood firm for fifteen years.
This attitude of being responsible for old players is reflected in all aspects of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded", which can be done in the terminal game, such as mine running, big wars, adventures, world chats, secret realm group books, attack and defense, etc., can also be done on the mobile terminal, and it has also been optimized and adjusted. For example, considering the large number of skills in the terminal game, it will be very painful to fully transplant to the mobile terminal, so the project team carefully designed a set of minimalist skills for the mobile terminal, from the skills, acupoints, cheats, and buttons, so that mobile players can easily play a smooth loop. This amount of work is equal to the amount of remaking a new game in other games, which is why the project team of "Sword Network 3" will be so "stubborn".
Review Summary
In all fairness, the second test of "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" greatly exceeded my expectations, and although there are still many problems, the actual experience has outperformed most MMO mobile games on the market.
Back in 2009, no one would have imagined that this new domestic martial arts terminal game "Sword Network 3" could survive many strong enemies, and gradually grew into today's terminal game to carry the handle, and even launched the only "large-scale MMO terminal game parallel transplant mobile game" on the market. I think, if you give "Sword Network 3 Unbounded" another fifteen years, what will it evolve to?
