【Popular Nostalgic Game Dynamics】
Refuse Liver Krypton! "The Moon Knife of the End of the World" mobile game season server pioneer server is scheduled for October 24
On October 16th, at the fourth anniversary celebration of the mobile game "Tianya Bright Moon Knife", it was officially announced that the game will start the rebirth plan, with the season mode as the cycle, reshape the PVP/PVE/PVX gameplay system and game economic ecology, realize the decoupling of gameplay, the unbinding of resources, the free disposal of time, and give players a happy Jianghu without liver and krypton.
In terms of career settings, there will be 13 major factions for players to choose from, with a variety of martial arts talents, customized martial arts schemes, and independent matching of general skills, making competitive confrontation more flexible and free!
The dungeon level will retain the original flavor of the Heavenly Sword, and players in the first season can go to "Tianya Town", "Yellow Spring", "Heavenly Palace", "Da Luotian" scripts, and there are even more nostalgic scripts to be opened.
In terms of character development, it is to abandon the shackles of "clocking in at work" activities, and choose independently in the direction of exploration challenges, competitive confrontations, leisure and socialization, etc., and you can obtain more than 80% of the resources in the game no matter which direction.
In terms of the overall operation of the season system, the official plans to continue to polish the gap between free decision-making and development of lightweight and reasonable control ability, and provide a good way for players who enter the game at different stages to catch up. Through the currency system and the construction of a more free interplayer transaction cycle system, the pressure of paying is effectively reduced.
A variety of casual gameplay focuses on companionship, the new PVX gameplay Floating Light 101 and the choreography ability of the Great Dancer will be launched with the season version, and there are also new craftsmanship to accompany the rivers and lakes, a new and upgraded face pinching system, and a new original appearance of the waves.
To sum up, it is a sentence that the mobile game "Tianya Mingyue Knife" is ready to use the season system as a breakthrough and try to transfer from the traditional martial arts track to the new martial arts track. However, considering that Tencent has spent a lot of time on season-based games this year, such as "Sword and Soul" nostalgic clothes and "Taris World", players of Tiandao mobile game may wish to lower their expectations first.
On October 24th, the Season Pioneer Server will start the undeleted test, and players can go to the official website of Tiandao Mobile Game to sign up for test recruitment and pre-order for the new version.
Full Cashback! The remake of "Shooting the Condor" is full of sincerity
"Condor" 2.0 remake test has been launched on October 17, for such a "remake" version, we don't care whether it's fun or not, just the official proposal of "no deletion of the old version of the server, full rebate of the cumulative recharge of the old account" These two points of sincerity are quite sufficient.
In this regard, players also expressed their support:
- Finally waited for the official voice, full rebate!!! The beta version does not delete characters and files
- Full compensation is powerful, I'm crazy Amway crazy return, come on!!
- Understand that the old version is not deleted but will not be updated The new version has compensation and full rebate!
By the way, the 2.0 version of "Condor Shooting" that has been brought up at this stage, aside from the changes in the art and leisure system, the overall performance is more like a fusion of the cold + the Nine Yin True Scripture. Although it is true that players can play it, the vast number of values and entries also imply that this game is "not easy".
In this regard, many players said:
—2.0 is more important to Krypton, I experience it
- The level of the move is still divided, and the gacha card can only draw the anger move at present, that is, the ultimate
—How dare he perform stunts and three strong krypton points of knighthood and weapons at the same time, does he think he is fun and worthwhile?
Art is going to be done for AI? Riot announces second layoffs! Super 2/3 comes from the League of Legends team
After laying off 11% of its workforce at the beginning of the year to a total of 530 employees, Riot Games announced on October 16 that it would carry out a new round of layoffs. It is reported that the layoff list has a total of 32 people, of which more than two-thirds are members of the "League of Legends" team, which is the second layoff of Riot this year.
Marc Merrill, co-founder, co-chairman and chief product officer of Riot Games, announced that the company will carry out a new round of layoffs. Tryndamere said the layoffs are not about reducing the number of employees to save money, but to ensure that the company has the right professionals so that League of Legends can continue to shine for the next 15 years and beyond.
But soon players found out that a number of veteran artists such as their favorite skin designer Tereza Rozumkova, illustrator Riot Moon, and model designer Ben Rosado were all laid off.
Therefore, there is a relatively "conspiracy theory" speculation circulating in the market, that is, Riot is going to use outsourcing or handing over AI painting to "reduce costs and increase efficiency", so it will do it to the League of Legends art team on a large scale.
Combined with the layoffs of other major manufacturers, the game talents related to art and design have not had a very good time this year under the impact of the AI boom, and it seems that AI painting will indeed become a new trend in the game industry in the future.
The new server "Hanshui Gudu", a martial arts legend intertwined with blood and poetry, was officially opened today
On October 16th, the nostalgic version of the new server [Hanshui Gudu] of "Easy Rivers and Lakes" was grandly opened, and many innovative and classic elements in the game were interspersed in the player's PK, dungeons, production, competition, social and other links, creating the ultimate Jianghu experience of "a drunken enmity and hatred, and a sword and a leisurely trip".
The game is set in a turbulent and magnificent era. Decades have passed since the first martial arts conference, and the Five Poison Sect and the Seven Evil Sects have disappeared for a time after being encircled and suppressed by the ten major martial arts sects. However, the relative calm of the rivers and lakes in recent years has caused the various martial arts factions to relax their vigilance and fail to completely eradicate their remnants.
Now, the two major cults have regrouped, accumulated amazing strength, and driven by common interests, Lian Chenfeng, the leader of the Seven Evil Sects, and Luo Meimei, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, joined forces to launch a revenge on the Central Plains Martial Arts, and a fierce confrontation between good and evil was staged.
【New Nostalgic Game】
Still locked in the country! New World: Eternal is available on Steam
New World: Aeternum, an action role-playing game produced and published by Amazon, will be available on Steam on October 15, 2024. As a remake and upgraded version of the eponymous work "New World", "New World: Eternity" contains all the updated expansions in the past, adding a new 10-player raid mode, as well as newly upgraded picture quality special effects, the standard version is priced at 430.99 yuan, and the deluxe version is 900 yuan.
In terms of cost performance, "New World: Eternal" is better than the bundled collection of the game base and DLC packages, and from the perspective of player experience, the BD, upgrade method, equipment attributes, and cultivation mode of the new version of the game have been greatly optimized, even if it is a lone wolf player, you can quickly upgrade to the full level to experience various gameplay.
But the problem is that the game is still locked in the country, and there is no officially supported Chinese language option, and a group of players who apply to the Chinese patch pack will be blocked regularly. So, if your English level is not high, don't join the excitement of this "new server open beta".
It's a bit hanging this year? The three tests of "Zhuxian World" were exposed to optimization problems
On October 18th, the third test of "Zhuxian World" was also the last test before the launch. But to the surprise of players, the test has a certain threshold for graphics cards, and many players who have obtained the test qualification cannot enter the game because of the prompt that the "graphics card driver" expires. And even if you upgrade the driver, you may not be able to get in.
After the actual test of players, "Zhuxian World" does have a graphics card detection system, and the 10 series graphics card cannot enter the game no matter how the driver is upgraded.
In addition, at the level of gameplay, the performance of "Zhuxian World" is also relatively average, and the character development is a simplified version of the second test content, following the routine of traditional Xianxia, lacking a sense of impact and graphic expression. The more bright part is PVP, which does achieve fair game and passionate battle, but has certain requirements for the player's operation.
What do you say? According to the quality and optimization of the three tests, this game is indeed a bit hanging to be launched this year, and it is expected that the project team will have to work overtime overnight.
"Seven Knights" Unreal Engine 5 Remake public teaser video will be exhibited at the Korea Game Show
A few days ago, Netstone announced that it will hold a stage event for "Seven Knights Re:Birth" at G-Star 2024, and released a teaser video of the game.
According to Netstone, "Seven Knights: Rebirth" is a remake project that inherits the original "Seven Knights", aiming to inherit the core gameplay, while improving and supplementing according to the latest trends. In addition, the official forum will also share developer notes to maintain continuous communication with fans of the original game.
Judging from the preview, the painting style of this game is more two-dimensional than the Q version, and the specific gameplay has not yet been revealed, but judging from the introduction of this painting style and the official website, it may be an open-world RPG adventure similar to "Genshin Impact".
After all, games with this theme have been very popular in the nostalgic market in Korea in recent years, and it is understandable that "Seven Knights", as a classic IP with a grand world view, chose to engage in an open world.
Two levels of reversal! "Silent Hill 2: Remastered" sold more than 1 million copies within three days of its global release
The recent release of Silent Hill 2: Remastered was met with a lot of skepticism not too long ago, but it's fair to say that this survival horror game from Bloober Team and Konami proves those skeptics wrong. In fact, Silent Hill 2 has received widespread critical acclaim since its release, and sales have been quite good.
Konami has announced that Silent Hill 2 has surpassed 1 million units in digital sales and shipments worldwide. The horror game sequel crossed that milestone in three days after its global release on October 8. It will be interesting to see if the game can maintain its sales momentum, but it does have an impressive start.
