Chapter 103 Don't panic, let's hear what the tech emperor has to say
This promotional video is not long, it only lasts fifteen minutes and it ends soon.
There was not much content displayed in it, that is, this battle on the lake. After a fierce battle, with the cooperation of the old man in fishing and the swordsman in green, all eight men in black were killed. Even the last man in black who turned around and fled when he saw that the situation was not good, was pulled back by the old man in fishing line and was beheaded by the swordsman with a sword.
After the two of them said a few words in the end, the old man gave the swordsman a token called "Sanjiang Order", and the progress bar of the video came to an end.
This game looks interesting...it looks quite fun...
Being interested by this video, Huang Xiaoming scrolled the mouse wheel and moved the page to the bottom of the video.
However, there is nothing else there, no game introduction, no release time, and no pre-sale button the last time. Some only have one reservation button, saying that the game will be notified when it is officially released.
There are still people who have made reservations under the reservation button, which is now more than 400,000, and it is still rising. Huang Xiaoming did not hesitate and also clicked the reservation button.
The battle in the video is very martial arts style, especially the two amazing light skills inside, which is very attractive to former martial arts fans like Huang Xiaoming.
He also wanted to control the swordsman in green, walk on the water, with a sword energy scattered, and fight against the unknown evil forces!
However, after the last "deception" incident, Huang Xiaoming was extremely wary of Penguin's promotional strategy. Although it seems to be a real-time screen now, who knows what the game will look like when it comes out?
Moreover, the last time the scam promotional video was not actually a real-time video? This time, this martial arts game didn’t even release the name of the game!
Let’s see what others on the Internet say.
So Huang Xiaoming turned off the promotional page, opened the browser, and opened the search engine.
"Penguin, Martial Arts Standalone" enters the car.
Perhaps because the promotional video just came out, there is not much content about this new game in the search results, most of which are news about "The Legend of the Warriors" that Penguin has released before.
But Huang Xiaoming is also a veteran who often surfs the Internet and has rich experience. After a few browses, he clicked into a famous domestic stand-alone game forum and entered the chat area.
There happened to be a post inside that was specially marked as red and raised:
[Shen Jing, a detailed analysis report on Penguin's new mysterious martial arts stand-alone machine]
As we all know, Penguin just released a brand new martial arts stand-alone game and released a real-time promotional video. But given the last "Anti-Japanese Heroes" incident, I was slapped in the face and felt pain on my left and right cheeks, so to prevent Penguin from causing any trouble, today my analysis is more conservative.
First of all, this is definitely a martial arts game, and it is a stand-alone game. The Penguin promotional terms are all stated, so no accidents should happen.
Second, from the picture, this is a very exquisite 2D game. Penguin does not use the title of a 3A masterpiece to promote it like last time. Therefore, it should be a fine small production, and the price is expected to be no more than "The Legend of the Anti-Japanese Heroes".
Third, judging from the battle shown in the video, the gameplay is almost the same as that of traditional arpg games. It is considered to be an optimization and enhancement of some classic martial arts arpg games, and it also provides certain innovations in the picture performance and combat mode.
OK, after saying the conclusion, let’s go to a detailed analysis of the game itself.
Let’s first talk about the game’s picture. This is a purely hand-painted 2D game picture. The picture itself is very exquisitely made, which is now the top 2D game picture. Moreover, it has a rich Chinese style, a long artistic conception, and the overall light and brightness are very different from the dark and bloody ghost style that foreigners like.
Everyone likes various art styles differently. Personally, I still like this Chinese colorful ink style picture style.
Then there are characters. The painting segmentation of the characters that appear here is very distinctive, which obviously means paying tribute to the classic domestic arpg games in the past, and adopting a very exquisite pixel style.
Just like those classic games we are playing now, whether it is "Dark Destruction 2" or "Swords and Magic Records", although there is no criticism in the gameplay, we are not satisfied with their far behind and current pictures. Compared with the current games, the overall picture of these old games is too blurry, which is the pixel style of the old games.
Although the character style in this martial arts game is also pixel-style, the pixels are clearer and clearer, with more and smaller numbers. In addition, it uses normal character proportions instead of cartoon-like bi-head bodies, so the overall look is very realistic, clear, and has a very high resolution of details.
In addition, it is necessary to mention that they portray the characters' 3D expressiveness. Everyone knows how 2D flat characters show the effect of 3D? In addition to drawing the characters more three-dimensional, the commonly used method is multi-faceted maps. Simply put, it is to draw the maps of the front, back, left and right sides of the characters. In this way, as the characters move, the characters with different faces are mobilized, with the back facing, facing, the left and right sides, although they are only flat images, the entire character is much more three-dimensional.
This game is different. In addition to the general four directions of front, back, left and right, it also adds four side characters, front, left, back, front and back, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the character to a higher level! The characters' movements are smoother, and when fighting, their expressiveness is more fulfilling!
Next, we will enter the key, that is the battle in this game!
Martial arts games, especially real-time combat martial arts games, are the most important manifestations of combat.
For example, some junk games, such as "Legend of Legend" type online games, they just need to cut the knife when they go up and look at the dps data. If the data is high, they will be cut to death, and if the data is low, they will not be cut to death. It is simple and direct, and it is not very meaningful.
For example, some classic games, such as "Swords: The Magic Seal", creates a combo mode in which players freely edit moves, and the various skills are matched together to produce a very gorgeous fighting effect during battle. Of course, there are certain requirements for players' operations.
And this game obviously learns the routines of classic games and brings innovations!
I think everyone should pay attention to it. The battle in the video does not happen on land, but on the lake. This is obviously a battle scene carefully selected by the Penguin Game Promotion Team, in order to highlight the very important "light skills" system in this game!
It is obvious that this is a martial arts game, walking on the water is not something that can be done casually. It requires special light skills, such as the "Walk Walking" used by the protagonist.
We can see that after using this light skill, a white circle will appear around the protagonist. The player must click inside the white line before the white line disappears, so that he can fly to the place where the mouse clicks, and he cannot pause for too long. I see that the white circle disappears in less than 2 seconds.
Therefore, fighting on the lake is different from fighting on the land. You must fly and move continuously within two seconds. Otherwise, you will sink into the water like those defeated men in black.
Another "Moving Shadow Change" is different. It is obviously a light skill specially used for combat. Eight phantoms appear around in an instant, and the protagonist can teleport in those phantoms under the click of the mouse. This is very useful in combat whether it is dodging or launching attacks. The duration is a little shorter, and I estimated that it will be in less than five seconds.
...
Next is the offensive skills. In the video, there are five skill icons in the protagonist's skill bar, and he used four of them.
The first is to stab a sword straight, sending out a silver sword energy that can penetrate the person; one is to slash down with one sword, sending out a sword energy that will hurt the person; one is to circumference around the body, forcing several enemies to retreat at once; the other is to sway the sword forward and emit five sword energy.
These four skills have different performances and consume differently on true qi. Among them, the five sword qi moves consume the most, and the qi strips are obviously reduced.
It is worth noting that when used, those skills only light up the skill icon, but it does not turn gray and enters cooling. In fact, when fighting with the man in black, the protagonist does use the same move many times in a short period of time, which is very different from the cooldown setting of skills in ordinary games...
In addition, what makes people pay attention to is the air strip. In ordinary games, generally speaking, the red one is the blood strip and the blue one is the air strip. But in this game, the air strip consumed by the skill in the skill is silver, which is very similar to the color of the protagonist's sword energy, so I have to doubt whether this air strip will be related to the protagonist's skill performance.
Chapter completed!
