Chapter 388 Why is this harmonious scene so disharmonious?
As soon as you enter the exhibition hall!
Facing you is the huge Europa Expo LOGO!
It is worth mentioning that at this year's Europa Expo, the organizing committee even directly modified the LOGO style that has been used for many years. On the basis of the original EUR artistic characters, an additional wheel logo was added, and the tail of the R character was made into the style of the F1 checkered flag, which made many viewers smile knowingly.
'Hahaha, the authorities finally recognized themselves. What is Europa Interactive Entertainment Expo? Europa Racing Game Expo!'
"The official just stopped performing it hahahahaha..."
'Just slap the wheels on your face: I just focus on racing games, I am the racing game exhibition, what do you think?'
'It's so funny, I didn't expect to change the LOGO directly '
"But it's no wonder the official didn't install it. Look around here, all of them are racing games."
'Players who like racing games will probably take off directly'
"Indeed, as a racing game player, I rely on this exhibition every year to survive. It is more important than the four major exhibitions."
"There are so many types, formula, rally, cars, bicycles, motorcycles..."
'This is my first time seeing this exhibition, it's quite interesting...'
"……"
Yes!
The attention this exhibition received was unprecedented.
Therefore, there are quite a few visitors who are visiting the Europa Expo for the first time.
Under the guidance of Tiantian and his team, players and friends followed the perspective and experienced firsthand the charm of this exhibition known as the "Palace of Racing Games".
From multiplayer competition to solo career.
Common game categories in sports games are also perfectly reflected in racing games.
Multiplayer competitive games focus on online battles, while single-player careers focus more on the advancement of the plot and the linear improvement of racing equipment. Moreover, with the support of the talent tree, although it is not as competitive as multiplayer games, it is also a lot of fun.
From car racing to motorcycle racing.
Which is more exciting, iron wrapped in meat or meat wrapped in iron? This has always been a topic of eternal discussion among racing enthusiasts.
But there is no doubt that no matter whether it is the iron-clad flesh of a car or the flesh-clad iron of a motorcycle, in that speed contest beyond the limit, the sight of things speeding past you and the unparalleled speed experience can make your blood boil.
From Formula One to extreme rally racing.
The asphalt-paved standard track is a paradise for Formula One racers chasing glory, while the endless Gobi Desert of Dakar is the hometown where rally racers exile their souls.
Maybe you like the hot atmosphere and enjoyable tire-changing service in the racing field, or maybe you prefer the achievement of modifying and upgrading the racing car by yourself and the feeling of unity between man and car. But no matter which type of racing you are, speed is always the only goal you pursue.
This is the collision of speed and passion!
This is an extreme and fearless challenge!
The heat was rolling in the racing track. Hao Xianming held the steering wheel firmly, his eyes careful and focused, looking for opportunities to overtake at the maximum speed!
The rally track was filled with yellow sand. Lin Xiaomeng wiped the sand off his helmet amid the bumps, trying to make up for the time difference in turning in a straight line!
Without a doubt!
Racing game!
Speed is always the first pursuit, and the expression of passion and enthusiasm is always the top priority!
"Oh - I can't do it anymore - I can't play anymore -"
Finally, after experiencing "Burning Wheels" brought by Yunwei's "Fire & Sea" studio, Hao Xianming waved his hands, indicating that he could hardly burn anymore.
In fact, objectively speaking, the content of this rally racing game brought by Yunwei this time is really remarkable——
As a single-player story-based game, its first chapter is quite standard:
At the beginning, the player will play the role of a hired underground racer and participate in a rally in a fictional area called "Devil's Valley".
During the competition, the protagonist, who was originally at the top of the list, unfortunately fell off a cliff due to the frame-up of his opponent.
The good news is that the protagonist who fell off the cliff did not die and was picked up by a beautiful blonde woman. But the bad news is that the violent impact caused the protagonist to lose part of his memory and forget many driving skills.
Moreover, there seems to be a bigger conspiracy behind this accident.
Therefore, in order to find out the truth behind the accident and also to recall his many driving skills, the protagonist, with the help of Da Meiniu, embarked on the path of a professional driver again.
The story is very conventional, but the plot setting is very clever.
The Flame Ocean Studio has very cleverly linked "amnesia" and "skill tree". Every time the protagonist regains a memory, it is an improvement in the skill tree.
And in the subsequent game process, the protagonist's car will also be upgraded accordingly.
In addition, the setting of some side quests can also help the protagonist to level up.
The industrial quality is top-notch, the plot is decent, the upgrade system is clear, and the overall experience is exciting and smooth...
Without a doubt!
This time, Yun Wei really seemed to have a clearer mindset because he was not facing off against Golden Wind, and he brought about a racing work that was remarkable in all aspects.
but!
"That's where the problem lies,"
As a review editor, Hao Xianming will naturally do an on-site review after playing each game :
"At the end of the day, this is still a mainstream racing game,"
"Vehicle upgrades, driving skills improvement, speed competition, police cars and beauties,"
“No matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same.”
Too tired.
The fatigue of sameness.
Speaking of this.
Hao Xianming smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and then shrugged:
"But objectively speaking, this is not a problem with Burning Wheels, but a common problem with the racing game genre,"
"After all, racing games have always been set up like this for so many years,"
"Although various manufacturers are trying to find breakthrough changes, they have achieved little success,"
"To be honest, the only thing that I feel is a little bit new in such a long time is probably the violent motorcycle mode in Fury's previous game Ridgebike,"
“In this exhibition, we also saw works with this kind of gameplay as the core,”
"As for greater innovations..."
Speaking of.
Hao Xianming spread his hands towards Tiantian:
"I personally think it's difficult to change to a new situation..."
Even Golden Wind is no exception.
Hao Xianming added in his heart.
Yes.
This time, they deliberately did not experience the "Euro Truck" jointly developed by Fury and Golden Wind first.
One reason is that live shows are arranged this way.
Secondly, it actually reflects everyone’s concerns and lack of confidence in this "Oka".
Because it is well known!
Looking at racing games around the world, they are all the same in the final analysis!
Let’s race!
What else?
Nothing more!
So in today's racing game, global manufacturers can only engage in an arms race in industrial quality!
But if you talk about industrial quality!
Who else can challenge Yunwei, a company with huge wealth and known as the world's largest game manufacturer?
so!
Regarding what various media outlets call this "golden swan song", several people at Tiantianyou News actually hold a rather pessimistic attitude.
but!
Amid this general pessimism, there is a glimmer of hope.
After all, that was Golden Wind, a game created by the well-known Steel Chain Finger Studio and Rage Flame.
And with such complicated feelings!
Not long!
As the camera moved forward into the exhibition, Tiantian and his group arrived in front of Nuyan’s booth!
However!
What is unexpected is!
At this moment, the booth of Nuyan was packed with people!
Of course , if that were all, the people from Tiantianyoubao would not be surprised.
After all, the reason why the Europa Exhibition has attracted so much attention is that many media outlets call it the swan song of gold. Players' enthusiasm must be very high, and it is normal that there are many people queuing up to experience it.
What is most incredible to them is the state of these experience players!
laugh--
As one of the motion sensing hatches opened, the player inside was seen looking relaxed, and he stretched out lazily.
Then he stood up and walked to the next player and held out his hand: "I've put the car in the emergency lane. If you turned on the hazard lights, remember to turn them off. It's about seven or eight kilometers to the ferry to Britain. You have to drive on the left over there. I'll leave it to you, brother. There are bananas in the car, so be careful of the time."
The player who takes over will also reach out his hand to shake hands with the brother who is handing over, and nod solemnly: "No problem, leave it to me."
"Bon voyage bro."
"Lend me your good words, friend."
ah???
I'm stunned every day!
What are you doing?
What about the shift handover?
Why...what...are you still turning on the flashers? And driving on the left?
You guys...have racing games developed to the point where they require such compliance with traffic rules?
Also, what does the “banana pulled on the car” mean?
Are you guys shipping goods?
I have a lot of questions every day!
Daming and Xiaolin were also confused.
The three of them even took a half step back at the same time and looked up at the Nuyan brand again.
That’s right!
It's the raging flame!
Aren’t the games of Nuyan always full of “Buzz buzz buzz!” “Woo woo woo!” and “Beep beep—woo—” sounds?
This is such a harmonious scene...why does it look so disharmonious?
"Do you have any idea?"
Tiantian, with a confused look on his face, turned his gaze to Hao Xianming and Lin Xiaomeng beside him.
The two of them shrugged at the same time, indicating that Confucius didn't know and Lao Tzu didn't know either.
As for the barrage, it was even more confusing——
"Huh? What's this?"
"Why is there still a banana thing? Isn't this a racing game?"
"Yeah, truck racing, right? It's the kind of racing where the truck heads are blown away by modified engines, right?"
'It looks...like ...not?'
"I'm a little confused, why do so many people seem to be strictly following traffic rules?"
'I'm so annoyed by the double flash. There's a double flash in a racing game?'
"What you said is just like pulling bananas in other racing games."
"Hahahahaha yeah yeah! What confuses me the most is the banana setting hahahahahaha..."
"Is this a cargo game?"
"Ah? Driving a big truck? Pulling steel coils?"
"Brother, remember: I won't pull a pipe if I'm poor, and I won't pull a roll if I'm hungry."
"No! Holy shit! It's not that funny! Did Xiao Huang really make a big car game?"
'ah???'
"……"
The netizens were all stunned!
As for Hao Xianming and Lin Xiaomeng, they looked at each other with confusion!
"this……"
“Ah, this…”
"Try?"
"Then... give it a try?"
