It is a rare thing for old trees to open new branches in the biological world, and it is lucky to see the height. The same is true for the sequel of the old game, which deserves the cheers of all series fans. But the sequel of classic IP is often difficult to reach a perfect ending. For example, the "Workers' Tale" next door, its sequel released in 2023 can't be said to have nothing to do with the series, it can be said to have completely abandoned the original "Workers' Tale" of the industrial chain play, instead focusing on a four unlike RTS combat module, and the degree of completion is still very low. It is a typical counterexample. These have forgotten their own advantages and abandoned the traditional "sequels", that is, they have lost their own characteristics and caused dissatisfaction among new and old players. In a sense, the coffin board has been nailed to death for many classic masterpiece series in disguise, which is really sad. However, this does not mean that "old trees sprout new branches" means that there are no masterpieces at all. In this era when classic IPs have been reborn but their wings are broken, an older generation in the strategy game industry has come forward - Homeworld. "Homeland" series can be said to accompany at least two generations of childhood. his

OK, brothers, all eyes are on me, look at me, I announce one thing: actually, I am a fan of domestic games! Of course, I don't deny playing many Japanese games, European and American games, Korean games, etc. But I would like to explain that they are all critical attempts. In fact, I don't take them seriously at all. Moreover, it is different now. We are about to usher in the "New Year of Domestic Games". Why? Come on, this year is 2024 - far from it, everyone must be familiar with the Black Myth: Wukong, which was officially launched on August 20 this year? You should know that since the first concept video was released in 2020, it has become the white moonlight of countless players. Everyone hopes that it can complete the regret that "Douzhanshen" has not been completed, and at the same time, it can also let the domestic game enter a new stage. However, since it is the "new year of domestic games", the types of games this year will certainly not be so single. Therefore, in addition to Black Myth: Wukong, which focuses on traditional Chinese culture, we also have domestic games that "learn from foreigners to control them". For example, boldly learn from the Western "new

What makes the fifty year old woman hold her forehead and sigh frequently at midnight? What makes the famous fried chicken bow its head and remain silent? What makes movie stars pale and sobbing? What makes a thin man curl up and shiver? Behind all these tragedies, is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality? Children, do you know why? Children who know, please edit the text message "answer content+name and address" and send it to... Seeing here, you may think that I have no "rice thread" anymore, and make up jokes every day to talk nonsense. What I want to say is that those strange words may be true before, but this time they are not true. Just last Friday, Hunan Satellite TV's "Singer 2024" was secretly broadcast on its own without much publicity. As you know, "Singer" can be regarded as the "hardest core, top class and most authentic" variety show in the domestic music world, and there have been countless top singers who will show their voice here. For example, the late COCO Coco Lee won the title of "Singer King" in the fourth season of "I Am a Singer", and the dress she wore in the program was exactly the best original of the 73rd Academy Awards

Card game is probably one of the most intense confrontation games in the game world. To join the magnificent duel, players need to understand the idea of card deck composition and the chemical reaction between cards. From one operation to the overall strategy, they must make the best use of the effect of almost every card. Finally, they need to add a little restraint with the card deck to win a hearty duel. Master Duel, a game with rules as its core, requires very little reaction and operation, and emphasizes game playing and strategy, which makes every mature card game have ever-changing charm. Mainstream CCGs in the market, such as Hearthstone Legend, Magic: Arena, and Master Duel, have different rules of play, but they are common in fun, which is one of the most unique aspects of card games. Wanzhi: Arena However, just like the famous saying in the card playing world that "strong cards are often accompanied by risks", the outstanding gameplay of card to card games also makes it more competitive than most game types

The "bubble" in the mobile game market has already dissipated under the erosion of layers. "It is more and more difficult for players to earn money" is a change that all practitioners have experienced. Today in 2024, the competition between the mobile terminal and the F2P game market is entering a new stage. The traditional mobile games with medium and low investment and formula are losing their product appeal day by day. Game manufacturers who recognize this point either choose to leave as early as possible, or gamble on more manpower and material resources, hoping to become a lucky few in the market, However, as more and more mobile games with high specifications and high investment appear, this consumption war has finally spawned many "unconventional" products. They are trying to find a new way out in the fierce battlefield. One of them is the "Travelers on the Wrong Road: Dominators of the Mainland" launched by SQUARE ENIX in the Japanese market in 2020. This JRPG, adapted from the 2018 theme "Traveler on the Wrong Road", has been attracting the attention of core players with its "anti market" game content since its early development stage. And more than three years of operation has made it the most popular host player in the world

Enotia: Song of Lost, a "soul like" game, chose to postpone its release in February this year because the release date hit the DLC "Golden Tree Shadow" of Eldon's Circle. Who knows, after the announcement of postponement to August 21 at the future game exhibition in March, it met the official announcement of the release of Black Myth: Monkey King on August 20 in April, It was forced to postpone the launch to September 19 again. As a game with drama as its core element, we have to say that their sales path is really full of dramatic effects. Of course, for a small studio work that is not famous, this rather unexpected experience has also added a lot of topics to their game, making many players pay attention to this new work. The unique style of the game itself has also aroused the expectation of many players, which is just the old saying that "happiness and misfortune depend on each other". Recently, we were also very lucky to receive an invitation from SEGA to get the DEMO of this game, and become the first batch of domestic media to play Enotia: Song of Loss. According to the content of the trial, I wrote this trial report. It should be noted that this trial report

"Nonsense" is a derivative term set up by me for the particularity of "beautiful girl game". Here, I will try my best to omit the retelling of the story of the game, and also avoid the late judgment of pros and cons, focusing on some narrow, subjective, and even unreasonable self-expression - as the literal meaning says. In October 2009, the beautiful girl's game "Pure White Symphony Love is pure white -" (hereinafter referred to as "Pure White Symphony") was sold in Japan. As the ninth work after the independence of "Palette" from "Light", the game adopted the development system led by "outsiders" for the first time, These include "Hequan つばすすす", an illustrator who was already a little famous in the industry at that time, "Beichuan Qing", a scripter famous for traditional love and game stories, "Keeping Gui", and "Eight Tone Box (おるごぅる)", which is in a semi retired state today. Whether from role design, script, story composition, or plot performance, the palette at that time can be described as exhaustive in this work - at least until the launch of "9-nine", it has always been a tone

There is a type of game that was born in the dawn of the electronic game industry. It was once a favorite of countless manufacturers and players. The reason why people like it is very simple. It is the best way to quickly pull players into a fictional world. Creators give their best wishes in story performance, and players can face difficulties directly, It was integrated with the heroes of the story - at that time, simple pixel scenes were enough to create a magnificent world, and thin special effects combined was an exciting adventure. Players affectionately call this type of game "role-playing game", while those games with stronger narrative attributes, more or less certain "second in the middle" emotions, setting whimsy, but just able to impress young players, are narrowly defined as "JRPG". Of course, these are the old calendars that I don't know when. Today, "role-playing games" are still glowing in a new form of expression, but "Japanese role-playing games" have been kicked out of the category of popular game types early, and many Japanese manufacturers are eager to withdraw from them, leaving only a few

Now playing games is really more and more expensive. A few years ago, with the advent of the ninth generation of home computers, the price of a single 3A masterpiece has officially entered the era of $70, and this is just an "entrance fee" - after entering the game, you will find that not only the price has increased, but also various internal purchases and DLCs have emerged in endlessly. The home computer environment has changed, and PC games are also "unwilling to be outdone". Take the popular Escape from Tarkov a few years ago. Although the basic version is only 35 euros, it doesn't seem very expensive, but this version only has the most basic materials and warehouse capacity for players to use. If you want to have a better experience, then "adding money" is inevitable. Because of this, many players will choose to bite their teeth and get the 110 euro "Black Edge Edition" when entering the pit of "Escape from Tarkov" - this version not only has more materials and large warehouse capacity, but also contains all DLCs to be released in the future. But recently, Nikita, the developer of "Escape from Tarkov", gave a "backstab" update to the majority of players. In this update, Nikita launched the latest Escape from Tarkov“

I know that this question sounds strange. It is already waste soil. Compared with the smell molecules in the air, there seem to be thousands of more questions worth exploring - waste soil has always been a subject of imagination. Human beings always seem to have a strange expectation of their own destruction. On the one hand, we signed the Nuclear Non Proliferation Agreement and set a "doomsday clock" to try to push the dark future of the predicted radiation dust covering the earth as far as possible; At the same time, post apocalyptic entertainment works have emerged in endlessly. From Mad Max to Metro 2033, it seems that everyone is imagining where the survivors will go when we press the sword of Damocles in the silo. Subway: 2033 benefits from the immersion brought by playing, and video games have become the best carrier of waste soil theme works. We were able to witness the terrible mutant creatures and radiation storms in the shining sea, listen to the endless recruitment advertisements of propaganda robots in the ruins, and even sneak into the bunker left before the war and find several cans from it

I don't know when, turn based development games seem to gradually draw an equal sign with hang up games. Many turn based development games choose to introduce hang up elements, and try to make players experience the fun of easy placement and full harvest by simplifying operations and increasing automation. However, early players may be immersed in the fun of character development because the content of development is rich enough. But soon, the combat boredom caused by automation will greatly reduce the consistency and attractiveness of this experience. Although there is no need to invest too much time and energy. However, in the process of placement, players no longer feel relaxed and fun, but endless waiting and repetition, turning into "jail". In the final analysis, this phenomenon will occur because their combat systems are not rich enough in content and their design is perfunctory. The essence of turn based games lies in strategic planning and battle execution, while placement makes this process mechanized and lack of challenges. If, like Journey to the West: Painting the Journey to the West, a unique racial restraint system is designed for the characters, with diversified functional positioning and sufficient skill system, the players can also enjoy the fun of cultivation and experience

Speaking of the whole life masters in the game industry, I can't help but think of our old friend Cold Against the Current - laughing and swearing, without integrity, giving you something big every quarter, and firmly holding the Internet traffic password. Thanks to the existence of these old friends, I have a good understanding of what people can do in the Internet quagmire, and I think it is enough to guide the country in this field. But when the real abstract master appeared in front of me, I knew I was wrong. absolutely wrong. Recently, a NPC named "Little Fairy" was updated in the game "Fantasy Tang Zhi" (previously called "Shenwu 5") of Duoyi Network. It's no big deal that a character named "Little Fairy" appears in a supernatural story subject - but this time, the "Little Fairy" appearing in Fantasy Tang Annals is not the innocent, kind-hearted and naive "Little Fairy" commonly seen in literary works, but the "Little Fairy" that people often see in the Internet cesspit. This "little fairy" can be called a collection of all kinds of Internet stereotypes. Its speech, daily behavior, and even the placement are all full of innuendo from the designer. In the game, "fox demon" shape

I got up early this morning and walked to the company with a meat bun worth 80 cents. On the way, I thought about which game to play to fish today. But after I turned on the computer at the work station, I felt dizzy and nauseated. On the "enterprise and micro enterprise" side, leaders ask when the outstanding work will be completed, and performance will be deducted if the work is not completed; The Huabei reminds me to repay on time, or I will pay late fees; On the other hand, the landlord told me that the market has risen recently in the graduation season, so the rent will rise slightly next month, to see if I can accept it... Well, I am very open about these trivia. After all, life is nothing more than "ups and downs", but I'm a bit miserable - I've never seen it before, only falling all the time. But the more times they fall, the more they get used to it. Fortunately, as a word worker who keeps coding on the computer screen every day and serves the readers, our interaction with each other is mild and beautiful - and the emotional value I need can also be found here. For another example, I have been sighing for a while: I clearly love playing games, but actually I have less and less time to play games. If... I mean like

In everyone's heart, there is a Great Sage. When I was a young junior high school student, I went to the cinema to see the latest "Return of the Great Sage". I was shocked to see that Guodong finally had a big hand after "Pleasant Goat" and "Bears haunt"; Later, when I went to high school, I saw the Monkey King Biography written by He Zai today. I was shocked to see the impassioned "I can't cover my eyes this day". Later, I went to college, became an editor of game media, and had more time to "indulge" in video games. However, no matter how many games I played, I always had the same thoughts after each customs clearance and closing. In the game, there were many brave men wielding swords, but I always wanted to see the "Golden Monkey Rises up with the Great Stick"; "Slim" and "Goblin" have played too many games, and they always want to challenge the demons, ghosts and monsters in Journey to the West. If only I could play a good game with the theme of western travel. I know, you may say, "Black Myth: Wukong" is not it - but you see, from the "first year of the Chinese game calendar" to now, 30 years of ups and downs, also

Ice and Steam Age has never been an excellent urban construction game. The industrial chain of this work is thin and simple, and the sorting of production relations and the structure of logistics system are also easy for urban construction veterans. The actual operation of the only four chapters of the story is that practice makes perfect. In addition to the anxiety and confusion encountered during the first visit, most people can find a fixed routine and cycle in repeated attempts, so that the trend of the situation is no longer chaotic, but collapsed to the only solution. After all, there is no randomness in Ice and Steam Age. The triggering and storm of events are like NPC clocking in at work - fixed refresh. Then you may be curious, so what are the advantages of Ice and Steam Age? Is it the unique background setting and aesthetic style? Maybe. The Age of Ice and Steam plays up the end of the ice in the steampunk world. Human beings control water vapor and heat energy, but they cannot control the decay and fury of nature. Endless frost covers the whole world, and the survivors rely only on a towering steam boiler. Unique artistic style and immersive music control the heartstrings of players. However, the Ice and Steam Age

Although I hate to admit it... but yes, 3DM has been taken seriously some time ago. Yes, it is the "cow" you understand. Friends who often read articles on our public account probably noticed that at the end of last month, there was something wrong with our public account avatar. The innocent yellow chicken in the original head portrait was inexplicably put on a strange blue mask. Even the background of the head portrait was changed to a street graffiti style, which seemed somewhat ugly. Moreover, not only the avatar of the public account, but also the avatar of our official microblog was changed to the same style as the public account at the same time. Even during that period of time, our microblog posted some unknown news that had nothing to do with the game information, such as inviting netizens to play mahjong together... These abnormal behaviors also caused netizens in the comment area to sit around and discuss, wondering whether our operators had drunk too much and used public accounts to do private work there. Of course, the truth we finally got did make us a little sad. Because the originator of everything is not the internal staff of the company, but the "AP"

Recently, my aunt Wang Li, who is my roommate, always complains to me that the toilet at home is rotten. The bathroom is integrated, there is no separation of dry and wet, the ventilation is poor, the floor drain is hairy, and the two landlords' ancestral siphon toilet is facing the washstand, so that he dare not put the washing utensils beside the sink, for fear that the two will cause a little unexpected encounter - when he mentioned this, I remembered that his tooth cup could always be placed there. So, unbearable, he decided to make a grand renovation of the toilet - in his new bathroom, he not only did a dry wet separation, dug three or five niches for soap, but also made a dual-use shower bathtub. The drawback is that our entire bathroom covers less than three square meters, and we don't know where to get the space to enlarge the bathtub. It seems that Miss Wang Li has finally been driven crazy by the accumulated manuscripts. But teacher Wang Li said that he was not crazy, and he also gave me a designer blogger to look at and study hard. After reading this, let alone the three square meter toilet, the one square meter coffin room can also be changed into a big house. He really didn't cheat me, because after reading it, I also understood.

A month ago, the "Fat Cat" standing in front of the guardrail of the Chongqing Yangtze River Bridge would not have thought that he would become the leading role of an adult film after his death - whether it was whole life or not, the largest adult film and television company in the Chinese language circle has promised to issue a "Fat Cat Rebirth Punishes His Girlfriend" as required by netizens. Fat Cat would not have thought that he would experience a roller coaster of "creating and destroying gods" after death. Once, he was "the most iron blooded soldier of pure love", but now he is "the prison cat who can't win the resurrection match". He did not expect that one day he would sit on the same footing as Kobe Bryant, ink tea and other abstract holy bodies, and even the tributes offered in front of his soul would be eaten crazily - if you do not have enough post-modern brains, I'm afraid you can't figure out why these three abstract kings were admired by all the people one second, and fell into the shrine one second later, Become the laughing stock of the whole network. We must have learned enough about Fatty Cat, Ms. T and 510000 yuan. After stripping away the external layers of packaging, the core of this story is actually very simple. When he first entered the society, he earned a living by practicing Glory of the King on behalf of others

Walking and playing with mobile phones is the ultimate behavior evolved by human beings after millions of years of cruel history. In this small metal box, there is the most mysterious spiritual energy. People draw wisdom by moving, and at the same time, they also imprison their souls - until the arrival of a ball of black fur, completely violating the right of human choice. Only cats, the most terrible species in the world, can commit such crimes. Since mobile phones began to enter human life on a large scale, they have been trying various means to regain their own time. In order to achieve the goal, even at the expense of spreading "cat movies" on the Internet - today, this black cat is trying to use a more direct and violent means to completely separate human beings and mobile phones. This means that after tripping over you in a mischievous way, you can quickly take the mobile phone off the ground. No matter whether you like pets or not, whether you are a "cat pie" or a "dog pie", there is no denying that "cat" is a magical creature after all. Whether on the Internet or in reality, their uncertain character will always bring various troubles to the orderly human society

"Malicious Endless" is a very capricious work. Fine art, soul like combat, equipment driven, acquisition and cultivation, base construction, it wants everything, and indeed does everything. At a glance, "Malicious Endless" seems to be a masterpiece in the imagination of many players, which is indeed the final effect that its producers want to present. But unfortunately, big and beautiful is not a development idea that can be mastered by independent games. Even for MoonStudios, a former Microsoft second party studio, the pace of "Malicious Endless" is still too big. In addition to overflowing art resources, the rest of the game shows a sense of looseness. It is difficult to define the main playing methods of "Malicious Endless" in the game art textbook recorded in the history. If you only play for 10 hours, it is an action role-playing game based on action play. The game includes strict energy bar control, rich weapon action modules, instant bounce and roll feedback, and is very consistent in experience, similar to the early soul games. However, once the system in the game slowly unfolds, "Malicious Endless" will slide to the configuration driven by strong equipment
