Almighty Game Designer Chapter 768: This year’s Thunder mutual entertainment is so terrifying

It was already mid-October at this time, and in the next month or so, I didn't hear of any more classic games developed by major manufacturers to be released. If nothing else, "The Last of Us" won the game of the year award is a sure thing.

However, it is not just this that shocks the entire game circle, but also how many games of Chen Mo will be included in the annual game competition?

Last year, Chen Mo won the title of the game of the year with the excellent level design, world view, plot and difficulty of "Dark Souls", and also made Thunder Mutual Entertainment named the "Dark God Factory", a major player in the game circle. Many people think that he will continue to continue this style and carry forward, and continue to dig deeper in similar **** games.

However, Chen Mo has embarked on a completely different path.

"Uncharted" redefines the genre of adventure-themed games, while "The Last of Us" redefines the apocalyptic theme.

Obviously, "Uncharted Seas" has a high score of 9 points, even compared to the best works of this year. What's more, the full score of "The Last of Us" is even more difficult for people to kill. Block and kill Buddha.

The scariest thing is not only these two games, there is also a game that is more popular than these two games, that is, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

After the international server of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the popularity of this game is steadily rising, and the share of the vr game cabin is constantly refreshing people's cognition. On the VR platform, the momentum of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is completely unstoppable. If there is no other more powerful dark horse coming out, it is very likely that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the VR field will reach the popularity of "League of Legends" on the PC side. .

Even the mobile game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has reached the top of the mobile game bestseller list in more than 130 countries and regions, and the world is just around the corner.

It is said that in some foreign campuses, students’ addiction to the mobile game "PUBG Mobile" has affected the normal courses. Some schools have even blocked "PUBG Mobile" specifically. The popularity of this game is evident.

Initially, designers of traditional games didn’t pay much attention to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, because it’s a game that doesn’t have anything to do with the “Game of the Year” no matter how you look at it. No matter how popular it is, it has nothing to do with them. .

But after reaching this level of heat, no one can ignore it.

When major game media conduct game reviews, "popularity" will also be an important consideration. Players like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has become so popular that even if it does not get the game of the year, it is very likely to be nominated for the game of the year.

Generally speaking, the selection rules of the major game media are different. The number of nominations for the best game of the year is variable. It may be five or six, or it may be ten or so. As long as it is a game released this year, as long as the score is good (8.5 points or more), all have the opportunity to be nominated for the annual game.

After all, there is only one best game of the year, and the others are accompanied by running. It is a bit too much to work hard to make a good game, not even to accompany running.

But this year is a bit special, because "The Last of Us", "Uncharted" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" are almost confirmed to be nominated for the game of the year. The first two have high enough ratings, while "PUBG Mobile" is due to The level of welcome exploded.

In other words, if you don’t count the mini-games like "The Seaside Mansion", Chen Mo has developed three masterpieces this year, and all of them were nominated for the Game of the Year...

This is the real horror...

In the game industry, there are many high-yield designers, and there are many designers with stable quality, but it is very scary to be both high-yield and stable.

Many people in the industry are speculating that this year will be the year when Chen Mo and Lei Ting mutual entertainment will truly rise. Perhaps in the future, Chen Mo will open an era of games under his own domination, even reaching those traditional giants. Unreachable height!

……

As the popularity of "The Last of America" ​​continues to ferment, more and more about the connotation of this game has been unearthed.

Players seem to have gone back to the interesting experience of inferring the complete story through the description of each item in "Dark Soul" a year ago.

Of course, the story of "The Last of Us" is very complete and smooth, but there are still many small puzzles waiting for players to discover. These puzzles may be about a certain character, may be about the whole story background, or may be about a story that happened in a certain place.

These little puzzles have further enriched and perfected the world view of "The Last of Us", making it a unique apocalyptic world.

For example, in a certain room, Ellie saw a person who committed suicide in a bathtub and said that he couldn't bear this kind of life, so he chose a more relaxed way of relief. But Joel said, believe me, it's not easy, being bitten by a zombie or committing suicide by a bomb is much better than that. In other words, in the past 20 years ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Joel, who suffered the pain of bereavement, tried to commit suicide, but in the end he chose to survive.

For example, the black brother wanted a toy, but the elder brother stopped it. Allie specially helped the black brother bring the toy. After the death of her black brother, Ellie took this toy in her backpack. Other collections include a letter from her mother and a fireflight dog tag from her good friend Riley.

For example, in the beginning of the plot, when Joel approached two passers-by, one of the passers-by provoke him, but the other passerby hurriedly apologized to Joel. After Joel walked away, the apologized passer-by asked his companion: " Are you crazy? Do you know who that guy is?" It can also be seen from the side that Joel was a guy that made many people fearless when he was a smuggler.

Including the hunter towns where people cannibalize, you can find places where these people burned their bodies, where they discarded their clothes, as well as a "harvest list" for each batch. There are detailed records of how many people were victimized at regular intervals. .

In the purchase record of Firefly Lab, there is even a joke about Halloween. The purchase list on Halloween is 50,000 werewolves, and it also marked Happy Halloween.

These seemingly inconspicuous puzzles and details fill the entire game. Players can always find many interesting gadgets in the corners, or a piece of paper, or an identity card. Or a tape, and these small details also make the world of "The Last of Us" more complete and real. Players seem to be able to see the life experienced by each supporting role through the experience of Joel and Allie.

Many players are feeling that this is the real zombie theme, and this is the real end of the world!

Games that made the end of the world just to let players rush and kill in the game have been steadily educated by "The Last of Us".
