Chapter 431 Golden Wind x Legendary Pictures! DLC of the collaboration again!
Handsome flying!
As the robbery ended, the anchor and the fans were shocked!
'OHHHHHHHH——this is so cool!'
"The gift crab gave me goosebumps."
"It's really cool, to be honest, this game is really cool."
"Indeed, although the realism is a little bit off, the rhythm of the game is really exciting."
'Is it possible that if it's too real... it won't pass the review?'
'Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha real'
'It wouldn't be called Payday, it would be called Robbery Simulator: From Beginner to Shotgunned'
'Why do you ask for so much for a fun game? Is it that the money is not enough to stimulate the adrenaline or the car racing is not fun enough?'
'The main point is pure, I am just a game player, if you like it, I will buy it, it's that simple'
"……"
[There is no doubt that for an "experimental work", "Payday" does not incorporate too much deep thinking. The simple combination of "magic robbery" and "electronic music" makes it an online game that is definitely worth a try.]
——SNG (9.5/10)
[Pure adrenaline stimulation and unprecedented extreme experience make this game full of freshness. Although the passion will gradually decline with repeated play, fortunately its upgrade route is very cleverly designed. And if you have a group of friends who are also seeking excitement, then this game is definitely the best choice to test your tacit understanding.]
——Hummingbird Game Forum (9.4/10)
[It is undeniable that the much-anticipated Golden Engine seems somewhat mediocre and even disappointing so far, but Sam once again used his unique game concept and work design to save the self-developed engine with sluggish development momentum. "Payday" is a personal show of Sam and an absolute reflection of his personal ability.]
——SLGamers (9.6/10)
【……】
With the game released!
The official scores from various media forums were also released.
Ranges from 9.4-9.6.
Obviously, such a purely enjoyable game still maintains everyone's basic impression of the quality of gold games.
Although the rating of "Payday" does not seem to have reached the 'good score' of the 'Golden Wind level' - the average score is above 9.7.
But as the players have commented: this is an extremely enjoyable game that focuses more on gameplay and game rhythm. Even the Golden President Group can let go and enjoy the pure enjoyment experience. It itself does not claim to have any deep thinking or core. How can you make higher requirements of it from the perspective of game depth?
With an average score of 9.5, it is enough to beat 99% of the "Left 4 Dead" imitation games on the market.
After all, the orthodoxy of survival lies in gold.
It has feelings, innovation, and playability. Just bring a few friends along to become a notorious bandit, and that's it.
but!
There are two sides to this statement.
Indeed.
"Payday" has achieved very good results. In this period when many game exhibitions are being postponed, it is also unique in the global game circle and is definitely a strong contender.
but!
With the official release of the game, everyone also discovered that Golden Wind still hadn't solved the problems and hidden dangers that had existed since the game was first announced.
The hidden danger is the engine.
The 'Golden Engine' developed by Golden Wind still has neither outstanding strengths nor weaknesses, and is extremely balanced, even mediocre.
In fact, during the period between the release of the game trial version and the official release of the game, many media outlets made speculations.
Some speculate that Golden Wind will start with the graphics, focusing on the more important graphics quality rendering function.
Some also speculate that the reason why Golden Wind added so many original electronic music to this "Payday" is to start with the "hearing" in the audio-visual experience and create a more realistic sound simulation.
More media outlets speculate that Golden Wind will take advantage of favorable conditions to further cooperate with Yiyou, work hard on the game's physical immersion, continue to enhance the full sense of perception, and better adapt to Yiyou's full sense system.
However!
What no one expected was that until "Payday" was officially released!
The improvements they had previously speculated did not appear in the official version of the game.
Payday is Payday.
Compared to the "Mercy Hospital" level in the previous trial version, the official release of "Payday" has only made more improvements in the game content.
For example, adding more robberies, more skill trees, more firearms and equipment, more linkage costumes, etc.
At best, the body sensation and gun feel have been further improved and optimized.
Apart from that, there is no revolutionary quality improvement or innovation.
One can even say that—
…
"...In terms of engine quality, Golden Wind's self-developed engine has not improved at all,"
In the president's office, Nakamura Masakazu respectfully handed a cup of tea to Itosuke, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise:
“Although it was expected, it is also good news for us.”
"indeed,"
Hearing this, Itosuke nodded:
"However, we must not take it lightly. After all, Gu Sheng is a very difficult person to predict. I believe you are aware of this."
"certainly,"
Taking a sip of tea, Nakamura Masakazu was deeply touched:
"From Escape, to Sekiro, and then to Resident Evil, Golden Wind, under the leadership of Gu Sheng, has been cautious at every step. Several marketing campaigns have caught us off guard,"
"So this time, although until now, their engine crisis still exists overall, and the problem is very serious,"
"But I haven't let my guard down yet..."
At this point, Nakamura Masayuki paused.
After a pause, he continued:
"I just want to know Golden Wind's subsequent plans and actions."
"No matter what kind of action it is, as long as it is related to the gaming industry, we can find some clues from it..."
That’s all!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door from outside.
Knock knock knock.
Then, a lady's voice was heard outside the door: "President Nakamura, may I bother you for a moment? There is a new development on the part of Golden Wind."
hiss--!
When these words were spoken, Nakamura Masakazu and Itosuke were both shocked.
Speak of the devil and he will appear!
Just now he said that they need to judge their next direction based on the latest developments of Golden Wind.
There's news as soon as you turn around!
"Come in!"
Nakamura Masakazu was in high spirits, his eyes burning.
As the office door opened, the secretary walked in with a tablet in her hand:
"President Nakamura, Golden Wind has just released a free DLC for Payday."
DLC?
Hearing this, Nakamura Masa was stunned for a moment.
DLC, the abbreviation of DownloadableContnet, refers to downloadable content.
Originally, this was a term exclusive to stand-alone games, referring to the fact that in addition to the main game, the developer continued to add related expansion packs and expandable content to the game through subsequent updates.
Later, with the continuous development and progress of the game industry, DLC is no longer exclusive to stand-alone games. All major online games and even online games may release DLC.
Logically speaking.
As a multiplayer online game, it is very normal for "Payday" to release DLC.
but!
Everyone knows.
Generally speaking, the DLC of a game will only be released some time after the main game is released.
After all, although in theory, the role of DLC is to improve the world view, increase playable content, expand playability, etc.
But everyone knows that from the perspective of game sales, it is mainly used to add fuel to the games whose popularity is gradually declining.
But now.
PAYDAY has just been released!
It wasn’t even 24 hours ago!
The game's first DLC is here?
And...it's free?
You know, nowadays, looking at the global game market, as long as a work launches DLC, then their first DLC is 99.99% charged.
Let alone other manufacturers.
Even Golden Wind itself was not immune to this when it debuted the first DLC for Resident Evil 7.
But this time, they broke the rules and inexplicably launched a DLC when the game was still at its peak.
Even this DLC is completely free!
Weird!
Which game's first DLC is free?
Doing so is tantamount to lowering one's own value.
Masakazu Nakamura really couldn't understand.
"Can I see it?"
As he spoke, Nakamura Masakazu raised his hand and took the tablet handed to him by the secretary.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine the Golden Wind was selling this time.
…
Boom boom!
Accompanied by a heavy drumbeat.
On the black screen, a LOGO with a precious metal texture appeared.
【Golden Wind】
This is a typical opening of Golden Wind.
Movie-quality promotional videos are their specialty.
But this time... ?
Nakamura Masakazu frowned slightly.
The Golden Wind's LOGO seems to be different from usual.
In the past, their logos always shone with golden luster, which was gorgeous and noble.
But this time, the LOGO was blurry, and the LOGO, which was supposed to be smooth, was covered with a worn texture.
Moreover, there are bloodstains .
Boom boom!
Following right on!
Another heavy drumbeat.
Another LOGO appeared on the screen again.
As this LOGO appeared, Masakazu Nakamura and Itosuke in the office could not help but gasp at the same time!
hiss--
This LOGO also has a metallic texture, and the overall shape is a four-petal flower.
The patterns are intricate and the structure looks compact and symmetrical.
For the gaming industry, this LOGO does not seem to be a common one.
However, from the perspective of international culture and entertainment, this LOGO is undoubtedly an evergreen symbol.
【LEGENDARY（Legendary Pictures）
good!
This time, the promotional video for "Payday" was actually jointly produced by Legendary Pictures and Golden Wind!
Nakamura Masashi's eyes widened instantly!
Not only Legendary Pictures, a film production company, actually participated in the production of DLC for a game called Golden Wind.
What shocked him even more was that
Just three years ago, Golden Wind had just entered the international arena.
Legendary Pictures has collaborated with them once.
And to this day, that collaboration is still regarded as the most successful movie collaboration in the history of gaming development.
That time.
"Titanfall", the first 3S-level mecha FPS game masterpiece produced by Golden Wind Games, is linked to the classic mecha movie "Pacific Rim" produced by Legendary Pictures of the United States.
