Chapter 625 Sorry, I'm a Superhero

Everyone knows the term "superhero", and various works related to it have always been common. The most famous of them are the two series of Marvel and DC in the United States.

There are many superheroes in these two series of comics. Some of them are extremely powerful, some are indestructible, some are amazingly fast, some have various magical props, and some have various wonderful supernatural abilities. They punish evil in comic stories, defeat big bosses, and even unite to save the earth.

Such characters have always been loved by the general public, and there is no cultural barrier between the East and the West. There are stories of knights who rob the rich and help the poor in the East, and the legend of Robin Hood in the West, which is essentially the same type.

If most people like it, this theme has certainly developed very well. As early as the 1970s and 1980s, Marvel and DC comics were sold very well in the United States, with sales of dozens or millions of copies. They have cultivated a large number of fans since childhood. So now, when those superhero movies are released, they often have exaggerated box offices of hundreds of millions of meters of gold or even billions of meters of gold, and can set off a cultural boom around the world.

If you use such a theme to make games, there will naturally be broad prospects and great potential.

In fact, there are currently many video games with superheroes as the theme.

The more famous ones include the Batman series, the Spider-Man series, the Lego Batman series, the Injustice series, and the mini-games authorized by Marvel, etc. Relying on the charm of the superhero IP itself, the sales of these games can be considered good. Although they are not a big seller, they are at least small profits.

If you have played these games, you will find that most of them are role-playing games, and the players control a superhero in the game, such as Batman, Spider-Man, etc., and in their identities, they are taking a big adventure in the city where they are located.

Of course, there are also fighting games such as "Injustice" and "Marvel Fighting Marvel", in which various superheroes fight each other, which are very few, so I won't mention them here.

Of course there is nothing wrong with choosing to make role-playing games, which is also the most important use of the game mode of the comic IP. What are the fans who are attracted by popular comic IPs to buy games? Isn’t it just to personally play the protagonist in the comic, to be a hero, punish evil, and satisfy your fantasy when reading comics?

However, such a game obviously does not meet the production requirements required by Li Ang.

First, these games are made based on popular comics IPs. Li Ang does not have such IPs on hand. If you want to do it, you have to buy them with DC or Marvel and pay a lot of money to foreigners. Li Ang is absolutely unwilling to do it.

Second, although IP can be created by itself, it is not something that can happen overnight. Just like whether it is DC or Marvel, it has a development history of more than 40 years. Without enough time, it cannot create a powerful IP. Just like now, China is the hottest, most well-known, and most popular game IP, or Journey to the West and the Three Kingdoms. Li Ang doesn’t have so much time to create IP and wait for it to spread and ferment.

Third, those comic-modified superhero role-playing games are basically linear processes, one level after another, one task after another, and one task after another, all have fixed routines. Even if the manual operation is not possible, you can pass it by practicing it a few more times. The plot is fixed, and the actions of the characters themselves only promote the plot. Even if there are multiple endings and cool QT fights, it is essentially still not much different from a superhero movie. It mainly sells stories rather than gameplay.

What Li Ang pursues is a sense of substitution, because the stronger the players' sense of substitution of the game, the more intense the emotions they have.

Therefore, what he chose to make was not to let players play the role of famous superheroes who have become legendary, but to let themselves, rely on their own strength, gradually turn from an unskilled novice to a ignorant newcomer who knows nothing, into a real superhero game.

Such subjects are not uncommon in movies, such as the "Hai Bian Wang" series and the movie "Superhero". The protagonists in these two movies are ordinary people, but for the sake of full passion or unsatisfactory life, they embarked on the path of becoming a superhero and punishing evil, but this path is tortuous and the end is not beautiful.

It is obviously very difficult for ordinary people to become superheroes to fight crime. After all, two fists cannot beat four hands. Even after a certain amount of fighting training, it is still very difficult to defeat a group of criminals.

However, many people usually have fantasies about what they should do after becoming superheroes.

It is certainly understandable to have such fantasies, because as long as we have a certain experience, we will understand that the world is not completely beautiful, but there are still many dark or dark corners. For example, in various news, we can always see many cases of crazy and inhuman criminals, which makes us feel out of wrath.

After all, most people pursue a living environment that is as beautiful as possible, peaceful as possible, and will not harm their own interests. When they think that those crazy criminals are likely to appear by their side, who would not worry?

Of course, the public security in China is still good, and the proportion of vicious cases is very low. The chances of people encountering criminals of that level are not very high.

However, there are not many vicious criminals, and there are still many thieves.

For example, if you go to take the bus and get ready to go to work, you will feel very angry when you touch your pocket and the wallet or mobile phone in your bag is gone?

For example, if you are a girl or take a bus, there is a vulgar uncle behind you constantly leaning towards you, and the palms and backs of your hands fall on your buttocks from time to time. Would you feel very angry?

Obviously, it will be true. The former means that you will lose money in addition to reissue your ID card, report your bank card loss, and re-apply for your mobile phone number. The latter is even more disgusting and makes people unable to eat.

However, in the face of such a situation, what we can do is extremely limited.

In the former, we have to ask for leave from the company and report the case to the police station. At that time, you are often asked to fill out a form and then go back to wait for the news. Of course, you also understand that the police are usually very busy, and it is very troublesome to arrest such things as thieves. They cannot be caught in a short while. I don’t know that the news will only be waiting for in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

The latter is similar. A timid girl will choose to bear it silently and wipe her tears when she goes home at night. What about the bold one? Apart from yelling "What are you doing?" and then standing in another place, what can you do? If you pull the vulgar uncle and prepare to call the police, the other party said, "It's crowded in the car, I didn't mean it." What can you do? The other passengers in the car have their own jobs, and how many people are willing to accompany you to the police station to testify? Even if the police come, there is no definite evidence, most of them are mixed and they will end up in the end.

It was a deep sense of powerlessness hidden under anger.

Yes, powerlessness, just like the example of the thief in front, even if you are alert and find him sucking your pocket, what can you do except press your pocket tightly? Fighting with him? How do you know if he has any accomplices? Will those accomplices be deeply in the hands of the knife? Even if you call the police in the end and the police come, and there is no definite evidence, what can you do with him? How can you catch thieves and stolen goods? In the end, it is nothing more than to end.

There are also elderly people in the family who are deceived by health products and buy useless health products at high prices; some relatives in the family are deceived by pyramid schemes and become uninhibited; some are trapped by those who are hit by the car, but they are not allowed to leave; some children are physically punished by unscrupulous kindergarten education, and they cannot seek justice...

These are all the inseparable life, and the indescribable sense of powerlessness arises from ordinary people in the face of evil deeds in society.

So, what if you have the power?

If you have great power! If you are indestructible! If you are a hundred meters in one second! If you fly to the sky! If you control the thunder! If you are unprecedentedly powerful!

Can everything above be changed?

The thief steals your stuff? When he gets out of the car, he grabs him soars into the sky and hangs him on the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower! Cover your face and rushes into the health care product experience store, pyramid scheme organization's nest, breaking all the limbs inside one by one! The person who is stumbled on the car will send him to the center of the Qiangtang No Man's Land! The kindergarten teacher who committed the crime will send her to the top of Everest to blow the cold wind!

You can choose the most comfortable way to vent your indignation and grievances.

This is the meaning of a superhero, it is the power far beyond ordinary people, it is freedom not bound by rules, it is the right to release one's nature with all his heart.

However, it is only one step away from the super criminal!

In fact, in most superhero comics, although it is great to watch superheroes fight criminals, they all involve one issue, that is, the sensitivity of "extrajudicial law enforcement".

No matter which country or government, they hate "extra-legal law enforcement". You avenge all your revenge yourself, what else do the police do? What is the difference between you and criminals?

Of course, this makes sense. The law is serious and has a very strict and strict grasp of the degree.

For example, the thief in the front, as a superhero, of course you do whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if you hit him with a stick and knock him out his brain, but calm down and think about it carefully, is the crime he committed really dead? If he deserves to die like this, then what standard should you use to punish those vicious bandits?

Batman has a vow to not kill, Spider-Man often hangs the prisoner upside down, and Superman doesn't kill anyone in most cases, just knocks him out... This is because they all have a degree and a bottom line in their hearts.

In real life, once a person has the power to be unrestrained, is not bound by law, and his nature is completely released, how long can the bottom line in his heart be maintained?

The nature is good and nature is evil for thousands of years. You may not even know whether it is good or evil in your heart!

So, reality is not a comic or a game. Even if you are a superhero, the national government has to find ways to control you and prevent you from doing anything wrong.

Therefore, Li Ang can only make games to let everyone vent their dissatisfaction hidden in the reality and relieve the hostility that is full of society.

There were also games where people can vent their hearts before, such as the famous "Grand Theft Auto" series, where players can even play the role of vicious criminals and fight against the police.

Of course, everyone knows the result that this game series was banned by relevant Chinese departments.

The game made by Li Ang is naturally not so exaggerated. The superheroes and national governments in the game stand on the side, and are considered a variant of the auxiliary police.

So, what exactly is this game like?

First of all, players themselves are ordinary people, how should they become superheroes?

This problem is easy to solve, because in addition to the various gun shooting, bare-hand fighting and cold weapon fighting tutorials in "Good Dream Training Institute", many players' characters use "Heart of the World" and have superpowers. Of course, there is no problem for such a person to be a novice superhero.

Then, is the positioning of the superhero.

This is also easy to solve. It is under the jurisdiction of the state, organized, with a professional position, and special security personnel. For the time being, it is called Harmonious Police, or abbreviated as the auxiliary police.

Then, how players should play the game.

This is also simple. For some reasons, many people in the world have awakened their superpowers, and a large number of them have started to act recklessly with their superpowers. The world is in chaos. The world government in the game responds quickly and immediately gathers up a group of superpowers for training, allowing them to become harmonious policemen, go to cities to fight crime, protect ordinary residents, and help local police stabilize the situation.

Of course, superpowers have levels of strength and weakness, and the super criminals in each city are also different. The strongest ones have even defeated the local military and police and completely ruled the city. The weaker ones are chased by ordinary police and hide in the world. Players can choose the difficulty they can adapt to and go to play the game.

These cities are like dungeons. You can choose to go alone to swipe, or you can choose to team up with your relatives and friends to cooperate with each other.

Finally, of course, it's the game reward.

If players perform well, they can get harmony points rewarded by the world government, which can be exchanged for various good things.

For example, if you wear steel armor that can fly and escape, if you eat it, you can increase your physical fitness, if you want to have an official expert, you can change the skeleton of your body into special metals, such as flashing pens that can eliminate the other party's short-term memory, etc.
