Chapter 406: Shaking M's Party
Guanghua City, Weiguang Game Experience Store.
Tang Ying wore a mask, but still suppressed her baseball cap, for fear of being recognized by passers-by.
Tian Yuan patted Tang Ying on the shoulder from behind: "Sister, what do you mean by this outfit? Do you have an idol burden?"
Tang Ying was startled and felt a little relieved when she saw it was Tian Yuan: "What an idol burden? It's because you chose the meeting place here."
Although Tang Ying's popularity and popularity have been rising since becoming the pillar of Weiguang Live, and now she is in her live broadcast career, her influence is still very different from those real stars.
One of the more obvious differences is that there shouldn’t be too many people who recognize her while walking on the street, which is very different from those big stars who were followed by paparazzi 24 hours a day.
But if it is in some special locations, it will be completely different, such as...the Weiguang Game Experience Store.
Basically, the players who come to this experience store are players, and there are many players in the Wei Guang Studio game. It can be a matter of minutes to recognize Tang Ying.
So Tang Yingcai had a baseball cap and a mask, completely covering her face.
"Didn't you agree to go shopping? Why did you make an appointment at the entrance of the game experience store?" Tang Ying looked at the groups of players at the entrance of the experience store and said helplessly.
Tian Yuan smiled "hehe" and said, "Sister, don't you know? "Attack on Titan" will release a trial version today, so of course I'm going to experience it."
"Oh..." Tang Ying said that her heart was not fluctuating, and she even wanted to laugh.
"Attack on Titan"? I've already experienced it!
As a pillar of Weiguang Live, a special trial player, Tang Ying has a special internal account on his own GS1, which can directly update the developed games simultaneously. Tang Ying has already experienced the game "Attack on Titan" since it has a demo.
As for the results of the experience...
Of course it is very unoptimistic.
So I heard that Tian Yuan came to the experience store for this, Tang Ying silently prayed for her in her heart, and at the same time, with a mentality of watching the fun and not being too serious, she followed Tian Yuan into the experience store.
Guanghua City’s Weiguang Game Experience Store is one of the largest experience stores at present, and experience stores of this size are newly opened almost every month.
As Weiguang Interactive Entertainment grows larger and larger, similar hardware + game experience stores can be opened to major cities around the world, and some Western cities are naturally under the plan.
Although it was the first time that "Attack on Titan" was launched to try out, there were not many players in the console area, and most players lined up behind the uv1 simulator, waiting to experience "Extreme Speed".
As for the reason, it is naturally self-evident. One is suffering and the other is pleasure. Most players’ choices are so real.
Tang Ying and Tian Yuan came to the host area and found that the place had been arranged in advance to promote the "Attack on Titan" experience event.
Various promotional materials are hung on both sides of the host area, including the flag of "Wings of Freedom", large posters and some figures.
Even some of the GS1 devices in the console area have been replaced with "Attack on Titan", and the color scheme and patterns are moving closer to the uniform style of the Investigative Corps in "Attack on Titan".
There are not many players queuing up in the host area, but their faces are filled with happiness and expectation.
"Wow, these people are all perverts." Tang Ying muttered in a low voice.
She could see a certain expectation from the eager eyes of these people, which was the expectation of "death" and "suffering"!
Tian Yuan poked her head out and looked at the game screen that the player in front of her tried.
"Swoosh!"
A figure flew over.
"Swoosh!"
A figure flew over.
"Pai Ji."
The flying figure was slapped on the ground by a giant, and a huge, bright red word "death" appeared on the screen.
"oh!"
The player who was photographed to death did not care at all and continued to start over again with great enthusiasm.
Tang Ying couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, those who came here are all severely addicted patients in "Sekiro", and they are all a group of shaking ms!"
If it were other games, players would have lost their controllers and left after dying like this, but here, there was a bright light flashing in their eyes, with an expectant expression of "Rabbiting me quickly".
Of course, this description is not very accurate. To be more precise, it should be an expression that "the difficulty of this game is indeed good and worth studying."
The hell of some traitors is a paradise for hardcore players who like to challenge themselves.
Soon, Tian Yuan arrived.
Pick up the controller and reset the game to its initial state.
"That day, humans finally recalled the horror of being dominated by giants... and the humiliation of being imprisoned in a bird cage..."
Accompanied by the low and sad background melody, an impressive scene appeared on the screen.
White smoke and dust floated from the 50-meter-high wall. A super-large giant with no skin and exposed muscle tissue appeared behind the wall, staring at everything inside the wall, with despair scattered in her eyes.
The camera crossed the bustling crowd, crossed the buildings of the town inside the wall, crossed the fifty-meter high wall like a mountain, crossed the giant who grabbed the wall, raised his legs and was about to kick, came to the blue sky, and quickly turned into a black screen.
"Come on your mind! If you can't even use three-dimensional mobile devices well, you won't even be qualified to serve as food for giants!"
The instructor's roar sounded in his ears, and the picture lit up again. Allen used a three-dimensional mobile device to fly past the camera.
Obviously, the city walls and the huge giants I just saw were all memories in Allen's mind, and at this time he was carrying out the assessment task of the training regiment.
As two different artistic carriers, the narrative rhythm of the game and anime is slightly different. As a game, Attack on Titan must let players get in touch with the combat system and basic gameplay at the beginning of the game, and cannot be willful incorporating too many cutscenes and real-time calculations in the early stage of the game.
Fighting, exploring, and decryption are all the core fun of the game. Although the plot is also one of the highlights of the game, it must be cleverly interspersed into the previous gameplay, otherwise players will feel very impatient.
Therefore, the first act of the game allows players to experience the unique combat system of "Attack on Titan", and the plot sequence has been adjusted to a certain extent.
According to the prompts on the screen, Tian Yuan kept performing corresponding operations, using a three-dimensional maneuvering device to continuously move, replacing gas tanks and blades, and operating training for attacking giants.
Because it is training, what we encounter in the battle is not real giants, but standing giant-shaped wooden signs.
These wooden signs cannot fight back, but can simulate the sudden appearance of giants, and at the same time test whether the trainees have mastered the attack methods and attack timing.
The first wooden sign that pops up from the ground seems to be a regular guide. The system will guide the player to perform a series of processes including shooting iron wires, circling, sprinting, slashing, and disengagement. Each step will enter bullet time. At the same time, the corresponding buttons will be prompted on the screen, so that the player can clearly grasp the process of each step.
When slashing, there will be an auxiliary ring similar to the music game, and the ring will continue to shrink. When the ring shrinks to a specific position, press the attack key to produce a perfect slash effect.
Of course, this is just a regular training content, and there will be no such prompt in real battles.
After killing the first target, the game entered a period of free training.
In the training ground full of tall trees, players need to control Allen to use a three-dimensional mobile device to move continuously, and kill the giant wooden cards that suddenly rise from the ground to obtain points.
At the same time, players should also pay attention to their gas and blade conditions. Once they consume more, they should look for nearby supply soldiers to obtain supplies.
Other members of the training corps participated in this competition in the form of AI. Their abilities are basically similar to the settings in the game. A few outstanding students such as Mikasa will have strong combat power and high AI, and will naturally have obvious advantages over others in terms of performance.
"This combat system is really interesting!"
"And, it doesn't seem that difficult."
Tian Yuan controlled Allen to fly around with a three-dimensional mobile device, killing one "giants" after another, and gaining an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Well, it feels like chopping monsters when I first got the weapon when I was playing "Sekiro".
It has to be said that using a three-dimensional maneuver device to fly quickly in the air has a unique pleasure. It is different from the "flying" experience of general games, with a more rhythmic sense and good control.
This experience is a bit like the Spider-Man game, of course, players in this world have never played it.
During the process of using a three-dimensional maneuvering device, the iron wire is shot out and quickly pulled up, and then glides in the air for a period of time with inertia, and then shoots out the iron wire again when it falls. The movement will continue to follow this moderate rhythm, so that the player will not fall into chaos due to crazy acceleration.
In combat, there are both strategies and skills: players need to choose the body part of the giant in the hook, avoid the giant's attack by rotating, and can also cut off the joints of hands and feet to weaken the giant's actions, and finally press the attack key at the right time when slashing the back of the neck.
Whether it is moving or fighting, the rhythm is very good. This combat mode will not make players feel tired, but it can always keep players at a high level of attention and strong enthusiasm for gaming.
"Strange, I thought it was a game of suffering." Tian Yuan muttered in a low voice, and the elder brother who was trying it next to him looked at the ignorant little girl and didn't say anything.
During the training process, Allen played by Tian Yuan and other training soldiers will have some plot interactions.
For example, when you want to attack a giant, you are suddenly snatched by another training soldier. At this time, there will be a plot conversation, and what the other party says will also conform to the character's personality.
Tian Yuan doesn't know these people yet, but she will soon become familiar with them.
After the training content, a cutscene entered.
"This is... a movie-based approach." Tian Yuan still understands this very well.
Movie games are also a relatively novel game type, mainly telling the game plot through movie-based methods.
In the past, due to the skills of the device and the content of the game itself, the plot was often relatively stiff. For example, in some games, a large number of avatars + dialog boxes were used to express plot dialogues, supplemented by a small number of character model actions, or dubbing.
The advantage of this approach lies in the low investment, while the disadvantage is in the unreality.
The movie game is to move the game as close as possible to the direction of the movie. The characters' actions, language, expressions, details, including the storyboard of the entire picture, the narration of the script, the bgm matching the plot, the scene conversion, etc., are all required by the movie standards.
Zhong Ming's previous life "The Uncharted Sea" is one of the best. Even when players play games, ui information rarely appears on the screen. The player's actual game screen and the real-time calculation of the plot are perfectly connected, allowing players to obtain an immersive gaming experience.
"Attack on Titan" also adopts this method. The transition after training will connect the city wall to be broken for the second time. The training soldiers will fight against the giant for the first time, and at the same time, it will play the role of background and character introduction. The entire process will be presented in a cinematic way. In addition to some moving operations, most of the plot content is displayed through movie-like storyboards.
Unlike the original game of "Attack on Titan", this version produced by Zhong Ming will show the movements and expressions of each character in very detail, and their lines will be filled in.
For example, some trainees will excitedly imagine their life after entering the military corps, some will feel annoyed because of poor performance in the exam and failed to enter the top ten, and some will not understand what they are thinking without saying a word.
At the same time, all the discussions in the original work have been reproduced. For example, four years ago, humans invested 20% of the population to regain their territory and launched attacks on the giants, but they lost all their money, and most of them had no confidence in defeating the giants, etc.
So far, the game has implanted many questions in Tian Yuan's mind.
For example, what is the giant? Where did it come from? What is the super-large giant in the first act? What is the reason for Allen's deep hatred for the giant?
These questions will be answered as the game progresses.
During the intensive battles afterwards, the memories will be constantly interspersed to reveal the players' questions.
In the early stage of "Attack on Titan", it was precisely because of this weird, weird but authentic worldview that attracted players to continue to understand in depth.
The plot continues to advance.
On the city wall, the trainees were chatting and laughing.
Sasha stole a large piece of meat to share with everyone. Alan stood on the city wall, looking forward to the upcoming counterattack of the giants with confidence.
Chapter completed!
