Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

For many players, the two things they care about most after playing "Bioshock: Infinite" are two points.

The first point is what exactly is Elizabeth in their hearts.

The second point is what kind of place is the underwater city seen at the end of the game.

And in the preview video of the content before the game goes live, players know that they will be answered in this game.

The incomparably spectacular Bliss City, the flashing neon signs, and the huge underwater creatures that are skipped.

The screen of the video switched quickly, and inside the city of Elysium, blood, corpses, and lunatics were present.

The background music is so weird.

On the dark street, a little sister with red eyes holding a needle turned her head and said to a huge 'monster' wearing a diving suit.

A series of fragmented clips, the picture came to a crashed plane.

As the plane plunged into the sea, a yellowed letter gradually enlarged.

But the text on it could not be read clearly, and the next moment the camera of the game came to a dimly lit small room.

'Give me back my daughter! Do not! ’

A roar came from the darkness, and countless players who had played "Bioshock: Infinite" were all cheered up.

They heard it, it was Booker's voice!

How is this going?

But wasn't Booker killed by Elizabeth at the source in "Bioshock: Infinite"?

With a coughing sound, the screen appeared.

The door was pushed open in the dark.

A mature woman in OL walked in.

'What do you want? ’

'Help me light the cigarette first and let's talk about it? ’

The woman with her back to the camera turned slowly as Booker's hands set fire to flames.

Countless players are full of excitement.

'What's your name, miss? ’

'Elizabeth...'

Then the picture fell into darkness.

………………

This promotional video immediately aroused heated discussions among players.

Despite the content of the video, it is not very long.

But for players, there is enough to show.

And what surprised them the most was that Elizabeth appeared in the video with a completely different look.

become more mature.

Especially that line from Booker.

Return his daughter to him.

And Booker in the game doesn't seem to know Elizabeth.

'Obviously! This is a parallel world! The original Booker is dead, but not all Bookers in the parallel world are dead. ’

'But the key point of the question, is this Elizabeth still the Elizabeth we know? ’

'I don't understand it at all! ’

'It's weird to understand! The story and game background of "Bioshock" are still very deep. ’

Online players are discussing in various ways, but basically there are many questions.

But that's normal. After all, trying to figure out the story of "Bioshock" with a preview video is simply whimsical.

After all, this game involves all aspects of content.

Religious theocracy, utopia, quantum mechanics, etc. a lot of content, how is it so simple to understand.

But anyway, the only thing that excites players.

That is, Elizabeth in the game still has related scenes.

Just knowing this is enough.

Especially Elizabeth, who has changed into a new look, makes people lick the screen.

What is he doing so much?

Just for Elizabeth to buy, buy, buy!

If you don't buy it, you're not a human being!

………………

For more than a week, "Bioshock: Elysium" was also successfully unlocked after infinity.

Many long-awaited players entered the game for the first time.

The forum was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

‘Elizabeth and Booker should be able to live together as members in the end? ’

'It should be like this, Elizabeth is estimated to be able to retire in a safe and secure way. ’

‘But is Booker in the original world really dead? ’

'I don't know. In fact, they are not necessarily dead. Just like Lutes and Mrs. Comstock, they are all dead in terms of life, but from a cognitive point of view, they are actually dead. was alive again. ’

Many, many players are optimistic about the finale of "Bioshock" in Elysium.

Song Ren, who is also a player who is always on his mind, also entered the game for the first time.

Just as Zhang Yi complained that Elizabeth was much more useful than his pig teammate, Song Ren also thought the same when playing. He felt that if he had Elizabeth as a teammate, then his multiplayer online games would not have been hanging around in the fish pond.

If you can't hit the score, it's all because of Lao Zhang's incompetence!

In this case, Elizabeth's caring deepened his love for this role.

"Mr. Chen's works are all joys, sorrows and joys. In the previous work, Booker may have died, which is a kind of sadness. According to this logic, "Bioshock: Elysium" should be joy." Song Ren guessed in his heart. .

"But it's really a bit of a contrast. The opening scene of the game in Infinite is a boat, but the game map is the city in the sky, and when you arrive at the city of bliss, it is an airplane, but the map is the city of bliss under the sea." Song Ren sighed.

At the same time, the narration of the cutscenes also appeared in Song Ren's ears.

'1960, Mid-Atlantic...'

"This timeline seems to be after "Bioshock: Infinite"!"

Looking at a letter on the black screen, Song Ren showed a trace of surprise.

Then the game appears on the screen inside the cabin, and the name of the protagonist of the game appears: Jack.

This made Song Ren have some surprises, did he change the protagonist?

Sitting on the seat, Jack held a burning cigarette **** in his hand.

Then Jack's inner monologue sounded in his ears.

‘They said to me: Son, you are a different person and you are destined to do great things. ’

'do you know? They were right. ’

While talking, Jack took out a gift box from the luggage next to him.

There was a sticky note on it: Jack Kai, Mom and Dad love you... Could you please... don't open it until...

At this time, the screen fell into darkness, and Song Ren's ears suddenly heard gunshots, explosions, and screams.

When the picture is restored again, the picture has become the sea.

The plane crashed and Jack fell into the sea as the only survivor of the plane.

In the distance is the wreckage of the plane, and an extremely dazzling huge lighthouse.

"A familiar scene!"

"The same is the start of the lighthouse."

Going to the lighthouse on the sea, Song Ren looked around.

Unlike the previous lighthouses in Bioshock: Infinite, the interior of this lighthouse is not so gloomy.

In the center of the lighthouse is a huge statue of a man with a banner hanging on it.

It reads: Humans are the gods who rule over everything.

"Colombia Sky City is Feitian, and now this Bliss City is going to sea!"

Below the statue, a prominent submersible is placed there.

Obviously, if you want to go to Bliss City, which is located on the bottom of the sea, you need to pass this submersible.

And this is in "Bioshock: Infinite", Song Ren has already experienced it.

Go inside the submersible and pull the switch.

A brisk BGM sounded.

On the screen of the submersible, the city's promotional video was played.

A man named Andrew Lane appeared on the screen, introducing passengers to the submersible's destination: Elysium.

He said it was a utopia for scientists and artists.

The fruits of everyone's labor will not be exploited by religion and the system of righteous governance.

Accompanied by Andrew Lane's explanation.

The high-rise buildings of Elysium City appeared in the window of the submersible.

The city of bliss on the bottom of the sea brings Song Ren's visual sense, and it doesn't have to be smaller than the original city in the sky, Columbia.

Although he has just started the game, Song Ren feels that his attention has been completely attracted by the deep-sea metropolis in front of him.

"The same utopian city, I feel that Elysium City will not be a good place."

Song Ren sighed with emotion.

Although I have just started the game, I have previous game experience in Columbia Sky City.

Song Ren also had no expectations for this City of Bliss.

And it's not just Bioshock.

Anyway, whether it is a movie, a novel or a game, as long as it involves a utopian city, there will inevitably be darkness behind the prosperity.

After all, utopia, this kind of city will only appear in the ideal.

"But...what about my Elizabeth?"

After a little emotion, Song Ren discovered a relatively big problem.
