“After deciding on the design concept for Slayers prototype, Chen Mo called the key members of his studio for a meeting to explain the design concept of the game. ”
“The design concept for “”slaughter prototype”” did not raise any doubts. How could this pass the F * cking interrogation? ”
!!
“He felt that the game’s bloody elements had gone up another level. Thinking of the protagonist using his sharp claws to cut the soldiers into pieces … Tsk, tsk, tsk, how awesome! ”
“However, since Chen Mo had already made a deal with the game Committee, there was nothing more to say … ”
“The development time of the original form was not long, only slightly more than two months. However, with the current strength of the entire production team, this time was more than enough. ”
“After all, slaughter prototype was a fast-food game. Many scenes could be reused, and the process was not too long. ”
“As long as this feeling could be transferred to the VR platform, it would be a great success. ”
“Chen Mo didn’t expect the game to create a sales miracle or get high ratings from the video game media, he just wanted to let his favorite players have a good time. ”
Just treat it as making up for the players who had been tortured by Dark Souls hundreds of times …
……
“On the internet, the topic of ‘Chen Mo’s new game’ was a hot topic among players. ”
“Ever since he entered the industry, Chen Mo’s games had always been widely spread before development, yet they were still able to fool the players … ”
“Although the entire Dark Souls series had ended, the impact it had on the game was far-reaching. ”
“One of the more significant effects was that the style of Dark Souls had influenced almost all the other RPG games on the market, forcing them to learn the combat system and level design of Dark Souls. ”
“It wasn’t that these games wanted to copy, but that the players were all shouting,””””We want soul-type combat!”” ”
“The biggest feature of soul-type battles was that, in order to create a realistic battle atmosphere, both the protagonist and the enemy were designed to be relatively fragile. If they attacked each other, it was either you die or I die. Therefore, it was necessary to think of a reasonable battle strategy. The timing of the attack must also be carefully chosen. Don’t go up and randomly slash at the enemy when you see them. ”
“The Soul series also had an energy bar setting. After exhausting one’s energy, one would be unable to do anything for a short period of time, and in this state, it was easy to be attacked by the enemy. Therefore, if they couldn’t kill the enemy after one round of attacks, they would immediately use the last bit of energy to escape and put some distance between them. They would wait for their energy to recover before fighting. ”
“This kind of battle mode required a relatively long time to adapt. He couldn’t be impatient, and he had to fight steadily to obtain victory. ”
“Someone had once defined the Soul series as a “”strategy action game,”” which was a more accurate way of saying it in some ways. ”
“After playing the combat rules of Dark Souls, many players were unable to adapt to the combat rules of other ArbG games. ”
“No energy setting, unlimited swings? Trash! ”
“The attack movements of different weapons were not clearly distinguished, and the design of the hit rate was unreasonable? Trash! ”
Can’t roll to dodge? Can’t show off? Trash!
The weapon system was not rich enough? No special combat skills? Poor sense of impact? Trash!
“Many of the RPG games were targeted. Helplessly, they could only adopt the design of Dark Souls to some extent. ”
“Because Dark Souls had such a far-reaching impact, many people would believe that Chen Mo’s new game was a soul-based game when they mentioned it. ”
“Even though the Soul series had ended, the players still thought that Chen Mo’s next work would continue with Soul series battles. ”
“As such, the first reaction of the players when they heard Chen Mo say that it was a hack-and-slash game was to surround him and smile. ”
“The general meaning was,””you don’t have to say anymore, we understand!”” ”
“There were even a lot of people who posted on the forum “”I’ll tell you a joke. Chen Mo said that the next game will be a hack-and-slash game.”” ”
“In the minds of many players, Chen Mo’s “”grass-cutting game”” had already become synonymous with “”soul-based games””… ”
“However, just when everyone was certain that Chen Mo’s next game would continue with soul-based battles, Chen Mo released a Weibo post, releasing the opening cinematics of the new game ahead of time. ”
The message on Weibo was very simple. There was only one sentence.
Welcome to the top of the food chain!
“Many players were dumbfounded when they saw this, some even wondered if Chen Mo was making a wilderness survival game. ”
“There were some survival TV shows in foreign countries. In the shows, adventurers had to eat everything they could in order to survive in the wilderness, so some people jokingly called him the man standing at the top of the food chain. ”
Was Chen Mo’s new game inspired by this?
“With heavy doubts, the players opened the opening cinematics of the new game. ”
“The first thing that appeared on the screen was a yellow taxi in the ruins. There was a “”N.Y.C TAXI”” logo on the car, indicating that it was a New York Taxi. ”
“In the close-up shot, it was a messy ruin, with vague signs of messy construction waste and towering steel bars. ”
“The camera panned over, and a string of rusty red unknown substances climbed up the roof of the car and suddenly tightened. ”
“A few fully armed soldiers with loaded guns passed by, and one of them said into the walkie-talkie,””””Danger eliminated.”” ”
“The camera continued to Zoom out, and the soldiers let down their guard and continued to search. ”
“It was only then that he could see the distant view of the picture. Broken buildings, fallen road signs, monotonous flashing traffic lights, and debris of cars forming a long line. It was just like the end of the world. ”
The camera zoomed up to the top of a building on the side of the street. A figure wearing a black leather jacket and a gray hood appeared in the camera.
“””I’m Alex melaler. “” (Alex Moses) ”
“””I’m the reason for all of this. “” ”
“””People call me an assassin, a monster, and a terrorist.”” ”
“””That’s right, that’s me. “”(I am all these things.) ”
“When the camera was pulled up, Alex directly jumped off the roof of the building and fell straight to the ground! ”
“””BOOM!”” ”
“Alex fell to the ground like a cannonball, raising a large amount of dust, and the surrounding two car wreckages were also shaken and rolled around. ”
“However, Alex stood up as if nothing had happened and ran away. ”
The crows were pecking at the corpses on the side of the road.
“Alex ran quickly, easily crossed the car wreckage in the way, and then gently jumped. ”
He jumped over the nearly ten-meter high wall!
“In order to better show the height of Alex’s leap, the camera deliberately switched to the side. The jump was very beautiful, but both the height and distance had gone beyond the scope of human beings! ”
“After landing on the ground, Alex nimbly rolled and then continued to run forward. ”
“However, a shallow pit was formed on the hard ground, and countless cracks appeared on the ground. ”
“Alex continued to run, and the voice-over continued to narrate indifferently. ”
“””Three weeks ago, someone released a deadly virus.”” ”
“””I woke up in the mortuary.”” ”
“””Now, I’m hunting, killing, destroying, and changing them.”” ”
“Alex rushed straight towards a building, stepping on the side wall of the building and running up vertically with ease! ”
“Between countless skyscrapers, Alex flew up and down as if it were walking on flat ground. ”
“””I want to find out the truth.”” ”
“””I’ll make them … Pay the price!”” ”
“Alex’s figure quickly disappeared into the distance, leaving behind only the distant view of the city, which looked like a wasteland. ”
