Welcome to this issue of the game more than that, I'm Joey.
At a time when the battle royale genre games were very hot in the past few years, there was a work as a rising star, and it was the peak of the explosion as soon as it debuted. If it weren't for the invasion of the plug-in, it would be a very good battle royale genre game - APEX. But "APEX" we talked about a long time ago, this issue is to bring you its predecessor work - "Titanfall 2".
The humanoid mech has always been the most characteristic equipment in games and science fiction movies, and it is also a steel romance in people's hearts.
Titanfall 2, one of the masterpieces of the humanoid mech. The development team of the game is EA's Respawn Entertainment studio, the main members have developed "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", due to conflicts of interest with Activision executives and other reasons, the elders have run away from home to independent portals, and established the current Rebirth Studio.
After joining EA, they decided to develop a game different from Call of Duty, but because of the development time and backward progress, there was no way to make what they wanted to do, so they had to compromise the plan, mixing the single-player plot in the multiplayer game, resulting in Titanfall 1. This also allows Generation 1 to have only a general worldview and multiplayer mode, and no single-player plot. But the fast-paced mech battles made at that time made players shine. And won a number of awards at the 2013 E3 Game Show, after the wide acclaim, the rebirth studio is also more confident in making a sequel, in the absence of a tight construction period, the studio can be carefully crafted, to make up for the lack of regrets of a generation - "Titanfall 2" was born.
The game's worldview is highly developed at the level of technology and has entered the future of the interstellar age. In a fictional stellar system, Frontier, Interstellar Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (IMC) and the Border Rebels fight a long war over control of the Frontier, with the protagonist Jack As a member of the Resistance, Cooper's dream is to become the pilot of the Titan mech, which has a more handsome name, the Iron Rider. Today, cooper, who is played by the player, will begin to train in iron.
Adhering to the smooth shooting feel of Call of Duty in the early years, Titanfall 2 is now one of the pinnacle of feel that I have been exposed to in many shooter games.
Really, I highly recommend that audiences who like shooting games come into contact with this game, the feel is really amazing. Whether it is running, shooting, running the wall is extremely silky, and even the subsequent works of Call of Duty have in turn absorbed the advantages of Titanfall. If you've ever played a spin-off of APEX, you'll understand the silky feel. Thanks to the same worldview, you can find various APEX weapons and elements in Titanfall.
If today's training goes well, Cooper will complete virtual reality training to become an iron rider. But then the alarm sounded and the enemy launched a war.
The protagonist, who has not yet completed his training, has no choice but to be a big head soldier in a hurry. During the tragic Typhon Star Landing Battle, the rebels suffered heavy casualties, and when they were about to be executed by enemy mechs, the instructor who had just trained us saved our lives by operating the mechs.
These Titan mechs serve as war machines for humans to conquer the sea of stars, in addition to possessing high firepower and high defense. And there's also deep artificial intelligence. You can pilot it into battle, or you can trust it to make the mech act alone, becoming a robot comrade-in-arms with you.
However, the enemy also sent the mech of the top hunter, and the mentor with two fists and four hands was defeated by the enemy. The operation failed, and it was a fiasco. The protagonist hides. The next day, I was almost given breakfast by the dinosaurs. On his deathbed, the badly injured mentor transferred the operation of titan BT-7274 to the protagonist.
Although we have not yet finished training, on this dangerous planet, this BT-7274 Titan mech is the only partner we can trust. This is where the game officially begins.
The game has a very rich gameplay and a good level design in the design of the single-player campaign. The game is divided into two cores: one is the iron driver, that is, the player, flexible operation, able to pedal the wall parkour, stealth to avoid danger. They can even execute enemies from behind, using electronic daggers to hack enemy robots from behind, allowing them to transform to attack enemy troops. In some levels, players need to use specific items or walk through the cornices to interact with and decrypt the scene, the decryption part of the game is not difficult, and there are "official guides" to show you when you level.
Another core of the game, the Titan Mech, although limited in terms of flexibility, has higher combat effectiveness. As the game progresses, players will find weapons with different characteristics, there are a total of seven different styles of weapons for players to choose from, and can be switched at any time, players can increase their core value when attacking other Titans, when the core value is full, they can use core armament, different styles of weapon core armament are also different, such as melee specialized "Ronin", "Polaris" that can charge snipers at a distance to cause high damage, etc.
Executions can be described as very interesting gameplay, and melee executions can be carried out by meeting certain conditions when facing certain enemies, and the weapons used will also produce different execution animations. This design also continued to the later APEX to execute enemies, filling the blood pressure and anger of the executed players.
As a gifted iron driver, the protagonist can use his agility to steal the battery of the opposite Titan, and then stuff a few grenades into the battery compartment to destroy the opponent's armor with a small bo. Personally, I really like the screen opening screen when I sit in the cockpit, especially when entering the mech from different angles, his animation is not the same.
As the process progresses, we are also familiar with this BT, which has its own unique AI. On the battlefield, we are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, and in peacetime, we have become a good friend of the protagonist. Occasionally, you can joke and chat with everyone. Every time we fight, our feelings with BT are gradually deepened, and at every critical juncture, BT's "believe me" again and again also touches the player's heart.
In terms of level design, the game adopts a traditional linear plot, but in the design of the scene, it is very open, the player has multiple routes to explore, and even one of the levels needs to go along the factory assembly line, and if you are not careful, you may even get lost inside. Some iron helmets are scattered around the map as a collection to challenge the player's technique. The plot of each chapter has an almost completely different map style and element design, avoiding the aesthetic fatigue caused by excessive repetition of the game, and allowing players to experience the fun of puzzle solving while being happy and sudden. One of the things that amazes me the most is that you need to use a time shuttle, travel through the past and the present to find clues, switch time back and forth to avoid danger, find a way and be able to understand the events from the residual images, and the perfect combination of scene graphics and game music is unforgettable.
The game flow is not very long, you may be able to play a little faster than an afternoon to pass the level, but this game can use a limited number of chapters to bring players the best game experience, from the beginning of the single soldier behind the enemy, relying on one person and one machine to find a way to return to the army. In the final battlefield, dozens of Titans airborne in the final battle can make players addicted.
And the game is very well done in terms of details. For example, if he takes the props in the hands of the little robot, he will even have a sad expression. When the player travels back in time from the present to kill enemies and return to the present, they will find that the corpses that have been covered with pulp will appear on the original empty ground. Even the enemy will say something garbage based on our actions.
In addition to the single-player plot, there are a total of 11 game modes to choose from in multiplayer games. Compared to the traditional shooter game players, the addition of the Titan element, the pace of the game increased significantly. And players can choose their own skills, many of which have been made into APEX.
For example, hook claws, shadow doppelgangers, phase shifts, etc. Each player will have a meter, and when the meter is full, they can summon titans to descend, so as to gain more advantage on the battlefield, and the summoned titans can even crush enemy players. Of course, even if you don't have a Titan, you can ride on your teammate's Titan, or use the bunker to step into the Tan.
In addition to the player, some computer AI will be placed in the map to increase the atmosphere of the battlefield. Surprisingly, this game doesn't even have a ghost suit until now. The only downside may be that due to the high smoothness of the game, this will lead to a significant increase in the operating cap. Old players all kinds of flying wall, haunted. As soon as the newcomers entered, they did not understand the situation, and they were beaten by these old players in all kinds of fancy ways.
Although the game has been on the market for 5 years, the game's excellent level design is beautifully designed with art style and good shooting feel, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a high-quality work even now. Unfortunately, the EA executives at that time had a relatively cold attitude towards "Titanfall 2". As a result, this work was released at the same time as Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and Compared with these popular IPs, Titanfall 2 was uncompetitive, resulting in dismal sales.
However, the wine aroma is not afraid of the deep alley, and with the use of the resources and world view of Titanfall 2, the re-created APEX fire, as a predecessor work, Titanfall has also been re-noticed by players. The game not only has official middle, but also Chinese voiceover. If you're an FPS game or a mech lover, Titanfall 2 is definitely a great game for you.
Oh, and by the way, let's talk about it. If you don't particularly like Titanfall and want to buy it as a collector's. If you simply want to experience the plot, it is best not to buy the game directly or it is a loss. The game is included in "EA PLAY", what does that mean? That is, you only need to pay a few dozen dollars to subscribe to a one-month membership. Games like Battlefield, Star Wars, Dead Space, Medal of Honor, etc. can be played casually during the membership period. Therefore, it is very cost-effective to spend only a little money to open a membership, the game is cleared, and the rest of the time can also experience other games.
— The following contains endings and spoilers, please read with caution —
The plot of the game is not complicated, as a linear game and there are not too many hidden elements and branch lines, I will briefly talk about the plot here.
After getting the titan BT's driving rights, it was imperative to join the large army and successfully defeat an enemy mercenary leader, and we overheard an important message. The enemy is preparing to make a thing called the "Holy Cabinet". In order to report this important information to Headquarters.
BT's analysis gave us a shortcut back. It is necessary to pass through an enemy factory, but because of this shortcut, BT is captured by the factory's mechanical arm. We need to rescue our mech comrades in a highly variable factory. After some exploration, it was found that the factory was a testing ground for mercenaries to test the strength of soldiers' weapons. After a fierce battle, we rescued the BT and went to the confluence point to prepare for the rendezvous with most of the people. However, by the time they reached the confluence, the friendly forces here had already been attacked. Major Anderson's grave grass can hide dinosaurs.
Using the Major's time and space gloves, travel back in time to understand the battles they have encountered, and discover that the enemy is using the so-called "Holy Cabinet". It is also a new type of space weapon that attempts to destroy the entire planet and the Rebel base camp, forcing the Rebels to abandon their borders. After learning this important information, we went to the signal station to report to the rebel headquarters that a great battle of life and death was about to begin. The protagonist's goal is to seize the enemy's "Holy Ark". This is to avoid a devastating blow. BT also allows the protagonist to survive in fierce battles again and again.
Until the final battle, catching up with the enemy fleet, BT lost his arm after a fierce battle. But he managed to capture the "Holy Ark". The ship was also about to crash under the onslaught of the enemy. We asked BT to escape with the "Holy Ark". As a robot, it should be rational and unconditionally execute commands and complete tasks. However, BT actually tells us that he will execute Protocol 3 and protect the Iron Horse. "I will not lose another ironclad.".
This sentence has the cold rationality of the robot on the surface, but it contains extremely complex emotions. BT-7274 once failed to protect its iron driver and lost its comrades who were born and died. And Cooper as its second iron master, this time BT is no longer willing to lose him. He swore to protect Cooper with his body and waited for the ship to crash.
After being captured by the enemy, BT vowed to die and was finally destroyed, and the holy cabinet in his hand was forcibly taken away by the enemy. The mutilated BT-7274 left us with the core information, and after much effort, we escaped. The enemy is about to activate the Holy Cabinet, and destruction is coming.
For this life-and-death battle, the Resistance airdropped a new mech, after we replaced it with the core materials of the BT-7274. It's back again. We will have a final showdown with BT in order to survive. The battle was fierce, with both sides fighting to the death, sending out a large number of Titan mechs. After a hard battle and the last enemy was solved, we still had no time to stop the activation of the Holy Cabinet, and the electromagnetic shock overloaded the BT system. Just as we were lying on the ground unable to move, the boss of the enemy mercenary came over and thought he was going to execute us, but he expressed his admiration for our swearing to fight to the death. Even gave us an invitation to APEX.
The Holy Cabinet is about to be activated, and BT has calculated and analyzed that only the power of the mech's self-detonation can destroy the Holy Cabinet. Cooper firmly stated that he was willing to die with his mech comrades who were born and died.
However, at the last moment, BT still Cooper threw only sacrificed himself. This huge explosion blew up the entire planet, and Cooper survived. This time, I didn't bring the core data of BT. Nor can we restore it.
Although peace came, we also saved many people. But we were born into death comrades-
BT-7274, disappeared into the explosion.
Thanks for watching this issue of the game more than enough, like the audience friends can like to pay attention to the collection forward, I am Joey, we will see you in the next issue.
