"All pilots please note, please report quickly to your commander that the destination is adjusted to Scarif. Pilots, your leader will inform you of the mission during the flight, and may the Force be with you..." This is a scene from the movie Star Wars Story: Rogue One, before the battle of Scarif.
As an important storyline of the "Star Wars" series, the Battle of Scarife dispatched many top weapons, laying out the magnificent cosmic war scene at the same time, through the wonderful and extraordinary details of the engagement, showing the Star Wars screenwriter's amazing brain hole in the cosmic war:
X-wing fighters weave and fling between planetary shields, and the battle surface is adrenaline-pumping; the Hammerhead-class corvette hits the star destroyer and "slashes" another star destroyer with it, and the latter's hull destroys the planetary shield, causing a series of chain reactions with one stone and three birds; the ultimate weapon, the Death Star, destroys the Skarive base with one blow.
Compared with the grand cosmic war scenes of "Star Wars", "Star Trek" is mostly a small-scale battle, but the battle scenes such as faster-than-light flight "dogfight" show the imagination of the creators.
In summary, these cosmic science fiction works created by American screenwriters show the seriousness and realism of American space masterpieces with their close logic, magnificent world view, and a large number of hard science fiction elements. This kind of work has an outstanding sense of atmosphere and a strong sense of substitution.
At the same time, Japanese animation represented by the "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" and "Gundam" series highlights the romantic side of cosmic warfare. The reason why "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" is called "science fiction epic" is that it has both a magnificent fleet battle, a thrilling fighter fight, and buried many philosophies about politics and history, which is intriguing. Someone once commented, "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes uses the sea of stars as a canvas, the giant ship fortress as a brush, and blood as paint to paint the most brilliant picture of war in the deepest darkness of the universe." "Our journey is the sea of stars", but also the end of human yearning and imagination for space.
Many works of the "Gundam" series interpret the peak duel of "Gang Damu" in the cosmic space. For some boys, personally driving the Gundam to swim in the universe and meet the pirates is a romance exclusive to boys.
As a cosmic science fiction enthusiast, I like the spectacular scenes of American space science fiction films, like the blood and romance of space-themed Japanese comics, and often collect and watch similar styles of works on the Internet. In addition to feasting on your eyes, you will occasionally encounter some interesting things. For example, on the B station, a video with a title of "Majestic and Spectacular Blockbuster Star Wars" and "[Visual Shock]" is actually a promotional video for the online game EVE. What is even more shocking is that the screen of the game's promotional video is similar to the actual screen of the game.
In a very real cosmic environment, the two sides dispatched countless space battleships, the attack artillery was overwhelming, and the fragments of the hit spaceships flew everywhere... Players familiar with EVE must not be difficult to find that the film shows the fierce battle screen of the game with cinematic shots, which is quite American space science fiction temperament.
Like the small-scale friction played out in "Star Trek", there are countless occurrences here every day. And the scale and scene are comparable to the "Star Wars" Scarife campaign, eve is also too many to count. The most famous of these is undoubtedly the "Battle of 49" that broke out in the 49-U6U galaxy in 2014. The campaign lasted 27 days, involved more than 3,000 people, destroyed 6,088 warships, and scrapped 3,236 space capsules. Whether it is based on the number of people involved in the battle or the battle losses, it is not difficult to imagine the scale of that cosmic war and the fierceness of the war.
Battle of 49
In addition, last year's National Day holiday, more than 8,000 European players fought for 14 hours in the "FWST-8 Battle of Rage", breaking two Guinness World Records - the most participating player-to-player match in video games (a total of 8825 players), and the largest number of players in video games at the same time (a total of 6557 players). Perhaps the directors and screenwriters of some science fiction movies did not expect that the war scenes in their own movies may be better than the real scenes in video games. They may have to sigh: the original brain hole is still not big enough.
It is reasonable to say that in this game that pays attention to reality everywhere and exudes serious science fiction beauty, it is not easy to produce romantic, hot blood and other reverie. However, EVE is still immersed in the romantic atmosphere of the universe and the japanese comic in the level of gameplay activities and player culture.
For example, at the end of last year, EVE launched a "boat racing competition" for the national service - the League Abyss Race. It's like a relay run at our student days games, with 3 runners from each class (participating leagues) and the team with the shortest finish time wins. But what is different is that this road is full of dangers, and the players have to cross the abyss map with many pirates.
The recently concluded eight-in-four competition brought a lot of material points to the audience: the Pan-Galaxy Commercial Community eliminated the finalist by 74 seconds, and the competition in the race against the clock really made people sweat; the fastest record-setter in the first race, which attracted much attention, was pressed in this race, and the rollercoaster-like performance was inevitably regrettable, but it was full of expectations for his follow-up performance. After many rounds of competition, fackBluePlus, The Ghost of War, Interstellar Umbrella, and Pan-Galaxy Commercial Community stood out. They will play a four-in-two tournament on January 23, while the winner will be produced on January 24.
Honestly, in this cosmic sandbox game, fighting, mining, doing scientific research, trading, or exploring archaeology are not new. But to say that participating in the official "Drag Racing Relay" in space is quite fresh. It may even be reminiscent of film and television works such as the "Fast and Furious" series and "Fast Youth", and the blood and romantic emotions they bring to the audience.
Compared with the unique romance of EVE's "alternative" space wars, players are maverick and have created many interesting stories in the game circle. As recently revealed by netizens, in order to explore creative inspiration, a CERTAIN EVE Alliance commander player openly launched a space war, which eventually led to the Cosmic Super Alliance almost "cool", and even the sovereignty of the base camp Star Domain could not be maintained. To some extent, this can also be regarded as a kind of "blood romance".
From Star Wars to "Gang Damu", people have had many fantasies about cosmic war, and this imagination is still in progress. At the same time, despite the grandeur of cosmic warfare and the strong visual shock, I believe that no one really wants to witness that scene.
May there be no real cosmic war. Those shocking scenes are enough to appear in EVE and Star Wars.
