Chapter 436 (1/2)
This year, there are several games of good quality, but they are not qualified to be elected as the game of the year as a whole.
Originally, people in the industry were generally optimistic about ”prosperous Tang Dynasty”. After all, ”three realms” is an MMORPG. In order to make profits, players must sacrifice some gameplay for data retention, and naturally bring the attribute of reducing points in the selection.
And ”Tang Dynasty” is a single game, with a very strong Chinese color, other aspects are also relatively average, in addition to the game content is relatively poor, there is no obvious short board.
However, after ”watch the pioneer” came out, the ”game of the year” award immediately became confusing.
Many designers have realized that ”watch the vanguard” is fully qualified to compete for this award!
Although it is a competitive game, the main fun comes from the players' confrontation, but its characteristics are also very obvious, there are two very likely to impress the judges.
The first is the construction of the world outlook and the rich human settings of heroes. Future background, coexistence of people and machines, heroes with various superpowers The whole background has a strong artistry, which is sure to be very pleasing.
The second is the innovation of game playing. Although there has been ”FPS with skills” before, none of them has formed a complete system. Designers are afraid that this mode will affect the core fun and balance of FPS games, so they are careful to do it, unlike ”watch the vanguard”.
From the current player feedback, it is very important that the watch pioneer well balances the fun of FPS traditional play and MoBa play.
Ideas are not worth money. It's worth money to turn them into works.
In the process of turning ideas into works, there are a lot of detailed settings, and any problem in the detailed settings may cause the final product to be different from the previous expectations.
So, it's a great thing that watch pioneer can do well in the concept of ”FPS with skills”.
In addition, the main problem faced by the watch pioneer is that its content is not rich enough. In short, there is no plot, not many scenes in the game, not to mention the open world game content.
However, these three points are not fatal, because there are other corresponding contents in the watch pioneer that can be made up for.
There is no plot but a background story, and there are many colored eggs in the map. All the hero's background stories are integrated into a whole. In terms of story, the watch pioneer just doesn't tell the players in the traditional way. In fact, the story is not weak.
There are not many scenes but each has its own characteristics. King Avenue, Huacun, Lijiang tower, Hollywood and other scenes, the architectural style of each map in the watch pioneer is completely different, and they have made innovations, which not only show the cultural characteristics of various countries, but also combine the sense of science and technology. This kind of scene design itself is an additional sub item.
There is no open world game content, and the game content is not rich enough, which cannot be solved. But as a free VR game, ”watch the vanguard” has made innovations in the mainstream FPS playing methods, and the players have a very good response. Is this going to be some kind of bonus? No one can say.
Although many designers still think that ”Shengtang” is the most suitable game to win the award, they have to admit that ”watch vanguard” is very competitive.
All this, only wait for the final award ceremony can be finally announced!
……
In the big designer chat group, many designers are chatting.
”I have arrived at the meeting. Have you all arrived?”
”I'm still at home, admiring the big guys who can go to the annual awards ceremony...”
”With envy...”
”Lao Qiu, are you here? And where are the dog owners? ”
