Chapter 830: Castles: The Middle Ages (more)

After the animus was released, Chan's Weibo stopped moving.

So far, all players know about Chen Xinxin's games only animus promotional films, and they have no idea what Chen Xinxin's new games are called or who is the main character.

Because in the animus, the concept of "playing hero through time and space” was also emphasized, many players were misled by the film and thought that the main characters that Chen wanted to do were heroes such as Washington, Caesar, etc.

If these heroes are the main characters... isn't the game moving in the direction of narrative epic?

But I really don't think it would be fun to fix the subject.

A lot of players are worried. Will Chen Jiao miss?

Is there too much emphasis on the sense of history, leading to a decline in gameplay, and the game is no longer fun?

A month after Chan's release of animus, a new VR game trailer came to the attention of players on the web.

The game is called Castle: Middle Ages, and R&D is a company called 4Kgame.

4Kgame is not a world-class factory, but it is also very famous because they have been cultivating historical gaming themes and are world-class in the relevant gaming fields, with a large group of fans.

However, the company has a general domestic reputation, the reason is very simple, their game, Chinese Hanhua is very unhappy...

Speaking of, domestic players also love to distinguish their personalities, because it's quite common to criticize a game because it doesn't have Chinese or Chinese Hanhua scum. The new game Hanhua developed by 4Kgame always seems to be flipping level, making many domestic players who buy the game very uncomfortable.

However, although many domestic players have been giving poor reviews, 4Kgame has not changed.

In fact, the reason is simple, because 4Kgame's games are basically historically oriented games with Western cultural backgrounds, and the vast majority of player groups are concentrated in Europe and America. Although some players in the country also like this theme, the number of people is relatively small, so 4Kgame is also very unhappy with Chinese Han Hua.

In this vicious circle, 4Kgame is basically accustomed to ignoring domestic players, so things slowly grow old and dead.

However, even though 4Kgame is poorly rated domestically, it doesn't affect the fact that they have a group of loyal fans around the world who love this series. Especially for European and American players, how good is the han level of this game, what does it have to do with us? Should play or play normally.

And this time Castle: The Middle Ages, it's a game that favors running + war simulations.

In the game promotional material released by 4Kgame, players will play the role of lord of a castle, build walls, train soldiers, and ensure the safety of their subjects in the castle. Farmers in the castle, on the other hand, provide military food and supplies to the castle to ensure that the players win the war.

Playfully, the main pleasure of Castles: The Middle Ages lies in planning choices for different periods, such as the weakness of infrastructure and the impoverishment of people's lives during the previous period if too much human and financial resources are spent to build the walls, which could affect subsequent development; but if only the development of resource facilities is emphasized and urban defenses are neglected, it could also be severely damaged by small-scale quickos or even beasts.

And the biggest highlight of this game is the highly restored medieval combat system.

Although the scene of the game is small and concentrated only in a medium-sized castle, its battle system does a good job. There are many different types of medieval soldiers, including knights, archers, and so on. And when the soldiers were not fighting, they lived their daily lives in the castle.

The player plays the role of lord, a warrior of bravery, with far more physical and combat power than ordinary soldiers. In battle, players can choose to command from afar, or they can choose to strike forward and experience the pleasure of a life-and-death battle.

In addition, the faithful reproduction of the game for history is one of the main selling points. In the course of the game, players can observe all aspects of the life of their subjects throughout the castle as lords. Some details of life and battle have also been carefully tested by the team of creators, basically reverting to the history of the Middle Ages in Europe.

In fact, similar game concepts are not particularly novel, at least there have been many similar operating analog games. But Castles: The Middle Ages is still very popular because it takes the sense of history and authenticity to a very extreme level on the VR platform.

In the promotional film, the creators of 4Kgame presented their detailed surveys to replicate medieval castles, including various historical details of forensics, the process of questioning expert scholars, etc. It can be said that Castle: The Middle Ages is by far the most reproduced game of medieval history, and if you want to experience this sense of history, this game will be a must buy option.

After seeing Castle: The Middle Ages promotional material, foreign players are naturally thrilled, but domestic players feel less comfortable.

“4Kgame is new again! This is a medieval background! ”

“4Kgame? The manufacturer who doesn't take domestic players for a living? I won't even buy a new one! ”

“That is, having bought their games before, that Chinese translation is far too much than machine translation, ignoring bad reviews, this kind of manufacturer should let him go bankrupt! ”

“However, not only is 4Kgame not bankrupt, but he lives well... after all, the object of his game is the noble Young Master...”

“Definitely not! Put the words here, who buys who sb, don't regret playing shi-like Chinese version! ”

“Hey, but I really can't help but want to buy this Cold Weapon Age game theme! ”

“Games are good games, but unfortunately, how is 4Kgame made? ”

“Who else could it be if it wasn't 4Kgame? It's like the whole world loves to play games about history, isn't it? Besides, aside from Han Hua, he did a good job. ”

“By the way, I suddenly remembered, didn't Chen Jiao's new game also promote the ‘recreation of history’? Would you do Castle: The Middle Ages? ”

“Doesn't look like much, mainly the new game of Chen Jiao is not a word, who knows what kind of game it is? Besides, Chen Yu didn't seem to have played this kind of historical theme game before. ”

“Upstairs, how much has Chan done so far? ”

“That's right, haven't you noticed the strange urine? Other designers are only doing what they do best, and he's only doing what he hasn't done! If he thinks so, his next game is history, which is very likely! ”
