Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After the first part, the expectations of countless players have been pulled up.

The second part, which is now on the stage, also did not disappoint the players.

If you only talk about the process of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

It's just a part, it's not long.

Although Chen Xu has made some optimizations for the game levels and the map, and many of the original images are only replaced by satellite maps and narration, Chen Xu has specially produced exquisite CG animations.

It is mainly used to enrich the feelings of players for the characters in the game, so that players can resonate with them.

This will give players a more immersive experience when the character sacrifices heroically.

Since you want a knife, you can't just stop at the knife, you must stick it hard and deep.

Otherwise, it is simply sorry for the money the players paid out.

And the whole process is at the level of an ordinary FPS player, playing ordinary difficulty.

About 8 hours from start to finish.

Players can basically clear the story in one day.

Players basically have no opinion on this, because Chen Xu has clearly stated that this is a trilogy.

And the trilogy combined, the more than 20 hours process, is actually much longer than the vast majority of game processes.

After all, this is a threaded game, and Chen Xu did not add any collection or challenge elements to the main line of the game.

These are all placed in an extra option.

In general threaded games, the main storyline is basically around 12-18 hours.

The reason why it will take thirty or forty hours to clear the customs, or even longer.

The main thing is that there will be some small games or collectible elements in the game.

But these contents are absolutely not allowed in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", at least in the main plot.

Level design and plot, Call of Duty combines them perfectly.

Let players truly feel that NPCs are no longer cold tool people, but trustworthy good comrades and brothers.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that countless players online are discussing the stories in the game.

'I'm mad! Never before has one driven me so crazy! I've been playing this game for nearly 10 hours, and I even hit the limit of the VR game bay's playtime. ’

‘Brother in front, you are not alone! ’

'I'm so excited, especially the level design in the game, it's perfect! There is also the level of the airport massacre, which is really shocking! This is a war game, but after experiencing it, I only have one thought, may the world be peaceful! ’

'+1, it seems that this is a war game, but in fact the cruelty of war makes it difficult for me to accept. ’

'Yes, the war has taken away too many of our comrades! Gates, Griggs, Xiaoqiang and Ghost! ’

'And Paul Jackson, and Allen, although they don't have much of a role, they shouldn't be forgotten! ’

'Yes, every character is worth remembering, including the astronaut in space! ’

'Everything is so perfect, but why let the ghost and Xiaoqiang die? Why let Gates and Griggs sacrifice! ? ’

'I hope no more dead people in the third part! ’

'That's right, my heart can't take this grief any longer! Especially the knife that was inserted into the soap at the end, I felt that it was not only the soap that was inserted into the knife but also me! ’

'That's right, the old thief Chen Xu is such an evil! He said that he was a warrior of love, but when we abused our players, it became more and more ruthless! ’

'Ding bro, it used to be physics and now it's magic! ’

'Magic hammer, that's because you haven't played Veteran Difficulty, the slums of Veteran Difficulty I just collapsed! This is a double whammy at all! The previous "Dark Souls" and "Monster Hunter: World" were too difficult for me to play! But now "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" doesn't play the highest difficulty, you can shoot a good time, but the old thief is making a fuss about the plot! ’

‘Fuck, when you say that, the old thief has ulterior motives! ’

‘Boycott the thieves! Don't let people die in the last game! ’

 …

The enthusiasm of the players is extremely high, and the designers of the entire game industry are also amazed.

Players play, that's simply playing the game.

But for designers in the game industry, there is more to see.

First of all, on the screen, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is undoubtedly the first echelon of the current FPS type.

It's not that there is no way to imitate this. It's very simple to spend money on CG like Nebula Games, and it's good to be an 'animation company'.

More importantly, in the game content, in the level design of Modern Warfare, it can be said that the elements are too rich.

Stance, climbing, sneaking, fleeing, chasing and killing, the content should not be too rich.

In coordination with the excellent shooting feel, it is shaped with the amazing big scene and atmosphere.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is almost impeccable.

Watching countless players on the Internet discuss the situation of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

In Atrai, Howard Warsaw is not well.

Although there is no upper limit for "Operation Storm", he knows that the outcome has already been decided.

Especially after he experienced "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", he knew that "Operation Stormwind" was not its opponent at all.

As for the quality of the "Operation Storm" game, he himself has a lot of power to speak.

Although Atrai said that they should hurry up and push forward the game project, let them come out and fight with Nebula Games.

But he's not stupid either. Overtime is overtime, and catching up with progress is catching up with progress. But if quality is sacrificed, it will be him who will bear the blame.

Can't keep up with the progress of the project?

Then you put him down and replace him, he is just so happy.

But obviously atrai is just talking about it.

And now?

Although the progress of the game has been perfected, it can be seen from the performance of Howard Warsaw.

This thing is completely different from "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

In his eyes, the quality is really good, and it reproduces some of the content in the movie well, and expands the timeline and adds a lot of new content.

Simply put, it's actually possible.

But compared with "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", various problems are suddenly highlighted.

First is the plot aspect. The "Operation Storm" game is based on the original book and the movie plot, and it is slightly expanded.

This can indeed attract fans of the original work, but the key is that its own limitations are big.

In terms of layout, it is obviously not as good as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

Secondly, on the characters of the game, he played both Modern Warfare for the first time, and even later because of the death of Ghost and Xiaoqiang, he hated Chen Xu so much that the **** guy actually wrote these two characters to death !

And "Operation Storm", he has to admit that, except for the protagonist, the other characters are basically accessories.

Simply put, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is a group drama, each of which gives NPC players a feeling of flesh and blood.

And "Operation Storm" is a one-man show for the protagonist.

Normally, a one-man show is actually more immersive than a group drama, but "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has done so well.

It may even form a unilateral crushing.

For these reasons, atrai soon made an announcement as well.

That is, the release time has been postponed, and it has been postponed to July 10.

Players who like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" don't care much about this bounce.

But players who have been looking forward to "Operation Storm" are just not happy.

What do you mean?

Bounced?

Confused?

This time, many players who were looking forward to it before have lost their confidence in them.

And the atrai side is also suffering.

What can I do?

bite the bullet?

At that time, when the two are compared, and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is in the limelight, their "Operation Storm" brains are estimated to be beaten out.

It's better to pretend to be a grandson now and admit it.

A month later, he was a good guy again.

And just the day after atrai announced the bounce, something that made many players happy appeared.

That is, Nebula Games also announced the bounce!

It's just not a delayed bounce, but a reverse bounce.

The third installment of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, originally announced on June 20, is now directly announced on June 14.
