Chapter 276: First Experience Monthly Pass)
Sitting in front of the computer, Zhang Yi is also looking forward to unlocking the trial version of "Warcraft".
"Hey, why did Nebula Game make an RTS game this time?" Wang Han, who was sitting next to Zhang Yi, was browsing the information on his mobile phone and chatting with Qiao Yi.
Wang Han and Qiao Yi don’t like RTS games very much.
I've played it, but I can't play it.
Because it feels that the operation is too complicated.
The most big computer guys.
"I feel that the game "Warcraft" may be different." Zhang Yi said.
He occasionally plays the RTS game with his own words, but it is not very powerful, it is just the level of ordinary people.
It belongs to the kind of people who make soldiers and then face the enemy base with a box.
If my soldiers die, you will win.
If my soldiers are not finished, then I'm sorry that your base will be gone.
"That's right, it's hard to say that many players are fighting in Warcraft, but I feel that the single player mode should be done well." Song Ren and Wang Yifan spoke in the voice channel.
"What plot can rts have? The single plot of "Human War" before was almost asleep for me." Wang Han said.
She has also been exposed to some RTS games before, thinking that multiple people can't beat them, but she is tired of playing with a simple computer, so she can play with a single-player plot.
The result is really bad, to describe it in one sentence.
That is, the enemy is coming, we will do whatever we want.
We defeated the enemy and won the victory, but a new enemy has come.
She almost fell asleep when she played with her.
"I can't compare other manufacturers with Chen Xu. I still believe him, although I always make a little trouble." Zhang Yi is very confident in "Warcraft".
Especially that cg animation really shocked Zhang Yi.
I have never seen any game company that can invest so much in RTS.
Moreover, the short one-minute CG video content of "Warcraft" at that time also made Zhang Yi very concerned.
Because he felt that this "Warcraft" was different from ordinary RTS, which directly turned the so-called single-player plot into a beginner's teaching level.
He felt that "Warcraft" would really have a complete single-player plot by then.
Thinking of the subversion of the ‘rts type’ and ‘700 million development costs’ mentioned by Chen Xu.
Zhang Yi also had a bold guess, that is, will "Warcraft" be full of the plot?
Like most players, he feels that Chen Xu, who is involved in the RTS field for the first time, may not be easy to balance or something in multiplayer mode.
But the single-player plot is different.
What this tests is level design, and Chen Xu's level design, do you still have to doubt whether it is "Dark Souls" and "Two-Players"?
So he thinks that the game "Warcraft" is likely to be Chen Xu making a fuss about the single-player plot.
He is still quite confident about the games produced by Nebula Games.
He even secretly used his private money to buy a collector's version of "Warcraft"!
Of course, she must not know about this matter, otherwise he might have washed all his clothes in the future.
After all, buying the collector's version of "Warcraft" is not the key point, the key point is that he has private money.
"Okay, okay, you play and watch it first. If it's fun, I'll try it myself. Anyway, the game can't escape here." Wang Han said to Zhang Yi.
"It's time! Lao Zhang, I'm shut down the wheat!" Song Ren's excited voice came from the voice channel.
"o.***.k!" Zhang Yi replied and immediately clicked on the chart of "Warcraft".
Entering the game, the logo of the Nebula Game flashed by.
The first thing to be affected is a cg animation.
It is the CG promotional animation that Chen Xu released on his official blog before.
Zhang Yi has seen it more than once, but this time he still didn't choose to skip it.
The content of cg is relatively easy to understand.
It means that humans and orcs are not good friends, but hostile camps, but suddenly an evil enemy descended from the sky, and they had to let the orcs and humans unite.
Soon the CG animation ended and a ui interface of the game appeared.
The background behind is a scene similar to an iceberg, which should be a scene in the game.
Put aside the exit game and setting options.
Zhang Yi observed that there are three different choices in the game.
Plot battles, local LAN battles, and online battles.
However, the current network battles and LANs are both gray, and it is obvious that the trial version is not supported yet.
But this made Zhang Yi excited because judging from the content of this trial version, Chen Xu just hopes that players can experience the single-player plot. Doesn’t this fit his guess?
"Let me see how this single-player plot is like!" With excitement, Zhang Yi clicked on the button for the plot battle with anticipation.
The plot battle is no different from other games, and you can choose the difficulty before entering.
Simple, ordinary and difficult.
Zhang Yi thought about this and chose the simplest difficulty.
"You are so embarrassing." Wang Han next to him couldn't help but be speechless.
The simplest is the simplest. What does it mean to be the one you are wandering around on difficulties and ordinary things for three or four seconds, and you don’t choose the last one.
"Ahem... This is Mr. Chen's game after all. Think about watching "Dark Souls" and "Monster Hunter: World", I'm planning ahead." Zhang Yi coughed awkwardly and explained.
After selecting the difficulty, the current picture of Zhang Yi is a "Chapter 1". Obviously, this single-player plot is considered a linear game, and requires one chapter to be played.
After clicking on the first chapter, Zhang Yi was shocked.
Because there are too many levels in this first chapter!?
He counted a little and there were twelve small chapters!
But only the first one is lit, showing the name of the level: ‘Shar’s Illusion – Looking for the Prophet’ (the original prologue and the first chapter were merged)
The rest are still gray and the level name cannot be seen clearly.
"I just don't know how long it takes for each level." Zhang Yi was looking forward to it more and more.
Click the first prologue level directly.
The screen gradually fell into darkness, and the narration sounded.
‘The gravel of time is exhausted, son of Durotan.’
‘The horn of war echoes in the wind, the afterimage of the old days poisons the earth, and the raging fire of war burns the world again.’
‘Leading thousands of troops to stain the battlefield with blood, mortals blindly rushing towards their own doomsday, but they don’t know that the burning shadow is about to devour everything.’
‘You must assemble the tribes and take them to find their own destiny!’
On the battlefield, the human army and the orc army were fighting, and then, like the cutscene at the beginning, countless fireballs burning with green flames fell from the sky.
The next moment, the camera switched to a Gaoling, and an orc in the barracks who had just woken up from a nightmare looked in a daze.
This paragraph of cg is equivalent to the complete content in the previous promotional cg, but it also caused Zhang Yi to have a lot of doubts and curiosity.
When humans fight orcs, what exactly does the flaming man fall from the sky exist?
What is the burning shadow?
And who is the last mysterious wizard?
Controlling the orc who woke up from the nightmare named Thrall, Zhang Yi was full of curiosity.
However, no matter how curious he was, he quickly turned his attention back to the game.
The character named Thrall advances under the guidance of the prophet.
This is a basic game operation guide.
But what surprised him the most was the quality of the entire game.
Pulling the camera closer, he can even clearly see a beautiful model of the characters in the game.
The water and grass on the ground are all very exquisite.
Is this really an RTS game?
This quality is too high!
The content of the game has not been played yet.
But just a modeling and picture in "Warcraft", combined with the previous cg, Zhang Yi was amazed.
I can only say that the performance of "Warcraft" in front of me completely exceeded his expectations.
There is indeed a big gap compared to CG animation.
Chapter completed!
