Chapter 134 I have already realized it
The lanterns are on.
Being able to get home on time before 7pm every day can be considered a good thing after being marginalized.
After enjoying the meal cooked by his wife, Tang Yunpeng slipped into his small study and opened Wanda and the Colossus again.
Yesterday, he had challenged five colossi, but the more he played, the more unclear he became.
This kind of incomprehension is not from a player's perspective, because the game Wanda and the Colossus is actually very simple. It is the entire process of the protagonist Wanda going to defeat the Colossus.
Tang Yunpeng couldn't understand it from the perspective of a game producer.
Mrs. Tang walked into the study carrying the fruit plate and placed it on the table.
Seeing Tang Yunpeng playing games with his eyebrows furrowed, she couldn't help but ask:
"Old Tang, is this game really not as fun as people say on the Internet? You frown so tightly."
Mrs. Tang is not a person in the game industry. She prefers watching dramas to playing games. However, because of Tang Yunpeng, she usually pays special attention to news in this area.
"I can't say it's not fun. The design of the Colossus battle is quite interesting. I should give it a seventy or eighty percent rating.
The reason why I frown so hard is because this game was made by Mr. Luo, and it is not of his level. ”
Tang Yunpeng's confident look made Mrs. Tang a little bit disgusted. She picked up a cherry and stuffed it into the mouth of Tang Yunpeng who was focused on playing the game:
"What level should Mr. Luo be at?"
Tang Yunpeng glanced at his wife beside him and thought for a moment:
"You can't understand even if it's too complicated, so I'll make it simpler.
With Mr. Luo's current momentum, even if he is just based on our previous guesses, he will make a very ordinary kingly theme, a quite satisfactory one.
At his level, it is easy to achieve sales of two million. ”
Mrs. Tang had no idea about games. She was just a little angry when she saw that Tang Yunpeng was still silent in the game, and casually pushed him on the shoulder:
"Maybe they don't want to make money?"
After that, he left the study without looking back.
Tang Yunpeng didn't pay much attention to this sentence at first, but at a certain moment when he was controlling Wanda and driving Ogro under him through the mountains, he suddenly froze.
"Maybe they don't want to make money?"
he muttered.
Luo Bai's previous games were undoubtedly very commercial.
The most typical one is undoubtedly mirror, which is what everyone likes. I do it purely to make money.
But Luo Bai has a conscience and will give you the best CG at the cheapest price.
All subsequent games are basically aimed at "gameplay".
No matter what kind of story this game wants to tell, no matter what the connotation of this game is, at least in terms of fun, Mr. Luo will definitely do the best he can.
So why isn’t Wanda and the Colossus so much fun?
Can't Mr. Luo see it? Maybe it's possible, but it's no longer possible after Mr. Luo's interview.
"Is this...an art-driven game?"
Tang Yunpeng murmured to himself, looking back at the loneliness on this road, the emptiness that penetrated the bones, the sadness in music...
Tang Yunpeng no longer had random thoughts, but continued to play firmly.
He firmly believed that at the end of the game, Mr. Luo would definitely give his answer.
I kept forgetting all the sleep and food, playing from night to noon of the next day.
As the sixteenth Colossus died in Wanda's hands, the ending of the game officially kicked off.
On the bridge that brought Wanda here to the sky, a group of uninvited guests on horseback appeared.
After they arrived at the temple, they looked at the sixteen damaged idols on both sides. They were extremely shocked and discovered the girl lying on the altar of the temple.
At this time, Wanda, who was penetrated by the black substance for the last time, was teleported back to the temple again.
Lying on the ground, he no longer had the handsomeness and handsomeness of the past. What was left was only a pale, ugly face that was covered in black material, like a zombie.
[It's finally done, Dormin, will he fulfill his promise? I hope she has woken up, I...I want to go back...]
[My eyes are shaking, why are the tribesmen here too? Chief, I'm sorry. I had no choice but to break the clan rules. What about her? Is she awake? ]
Wanda struggled to get up from the ground. Behind him, dense black souls accompanied him.
"As expected, it was you who actually did such a thing! Do you know what you have done? Not only did you steal the sword, set foot on this cursed land, you even activated the forbidden technique. You are our best warrior. , has fallen to this point!”
The patriarch looked at Wanda in front of him angrily and scolded.
Then he instructed the tribesmen, activated the crossbow in his hand, and shot Wanda heavily in the thigh.
Wanda hugged her thigh, accompanied by pain and deep unwillingness.
[Is she awake? My consciousness is getting blurry... Is someone saying something to me? ]
"Do you know? You are just being used! Quickly, execute him! He has been possessed by the devil!"
"It is better to die early than to be tabooed and abandoned by others..."
At the command of the clan leader, the clansman inserted the sword into Wanda's heart. What was surprising was that what spewed out of Wanda's heart was the same black substance that was inside the colossus before.
The tribesmen were so frightened that they retreated.
[Damn it, I haven’t seen her wake up yet. Consciousness is about to disappear, I...]
Wanda reluctantly held the sword on her chest and walked forward step by step. He wanted to get closer and see the girl one last time.
But in the end, Wanda still fell.
As his body fell heavily to the ground, black material instantly filled his body. In just an instant, Wanda turned into a huge and terrifying demon!
Dormin's voice kept echoing in the temple:
"You foolish human being who sealed my power in sixteen statues! My name is Dorming! I will be resurrected with the body of this warrior!"
But since it was possible to seal Dole Ming once, how could it not be possible to seal it a second time?
As the Sword of the Past was thrown into the pool in the temple by the clan leader, a blue beam of light rose into the sky, and the power of the entire temple was activated.
Dole Ming's body, which was originally formed by the black substance condensed on Wanda's body, was removed bit by bit, and Wanda's figure was gradually revealed.
Wanda regained her sanity once again.
[When I regained my memory again, I found that the patriarch was turning around and leaving the tower.
How could my body turn into a demon? Is this the price? My wish...]
The huge power of the pool behind him was not only aimed at Doer Ming, but also Wanda, who had been eroded to the depths. He walked forward unwillingly against the huge suction force.
[I must see her wake up...but this power is so powerful, I...see you in the next life...]
After all, Wanda could not resist the suction of the pool and completely disappeared from this world.
When Tang Yunpeng played until the last moment, his mood collapsed.
In the end, before Wanda is sucked into the pool, it is not a CG animation, but requires the player to control it. He spent all his strength, and the climbing button on the handle was almost broken by him. Wanda finally clung to the stone steps and refused to let go even with her life, which made Tang Yunpeng really feel that way. A little bit of hope.
Wanda was finally able to resist the suction and finally came to the girl.
But in the end, Wanda failed.
I'm not willing to give in!
I went through all the trouble to kill sixteen giant statues, but is this the ending?
The breeze floated, and the perspective came to the girl.
The sun shone on her bright face, and with her eyelids trembling slightly, the girl finally woke up.
Dole Ming kept his promise to Wanda, but has Wanda seen it?
"I have realized it a long time ago."
It was only then that Tang Yunpeng realized how deep and heavy the weight of Wanda's words was.
As if a raging fire was squeezing in his heart, Tang Yunpeng couldn't wait to open his Word. He wanted to clear Wanda's name!
He truly understood the meaning of Mr. Luo’s interview that day. Wanda and the Colossus is not a game suitable for everyone.
The next day.
"Maybe this is not a fun game, but it must be a good game"
"The reason why I spent more than ten hours to complete "Shadow of the Colossus" is actually to judge the advantages and disadvantages of Mr. Luo's first 3D game from a more fair and objective perspective.
But when I really experienced this game in its entirety, I found that the so-called advantages and disadvantages were actually not important to Wanda.
What matters is Wanda's inner belief in saving the girl.
The plot of the game is very simple. In order to save his beloved girl, the protagonist Wanda takes his beloved horse to a cursed mysterious place in order to plead with a guy named Dorming to retrieve the girl's soul for him. .
Dorming made a request that as long as Wanda could defeat the sixteen colossi and pay an unimaginable price, he could help Wanda resurrect the girl.
And our protagonist embarks on a journey.
The only core of the entire game is at the very beginning of the story, Wanda's seemingly ordinary words, "I have realized it a long time ago."
The meaning of this sentence is completely different from that of I will come to save you.
What Wanda wants to express is that he clearly knows that it is possible for him to kill all the statues to awaken his lover, and exchange one life for another.
It is also possible to die in the hands of a certain statue, and even if all the statues are defeated, the demon may fulfill his promise and fulfill the original agreement, or he may just lie and nothing will happen in the end.
Even if he can't express his thoughts to his lover, even if everyone disagrees with his actions, and there may even be many unexpected and worse things happening, it doesn't matter.
He had already realized it.
These five short words have gone beyond the limit of words that can express love. Although it is not a promise, it is more dazzling than any promise. So we saw a young man, a horse, a bow, and a bow. The sword angered nature.
It’s hard to imagine that in a game that doesn’t have any memories about the relationship between the male and female protagonists, or a narrative about their feelings, I could get involved in it just by relying on the atmosphere of the game.
There are only a few lines in the whole process, all supported by emotions, pure emotions, and only one belief, for love, even if it is wrong, even if it is right.
There are many details in the game that cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
For example, the extreme loneliness of running wildly across the vast expanse of land.
For example, the majestic but frightening tension you felt when you first faced off against a colossus that was hundreds of times your size.
For example, the emotional touch brought to the player when the only companion, Dark Horse Ogro, sacrificed himself to throw the boy to the other side of the cliff on the way to the final Colossus.
Another example is the despair that is close at hand but untouchable when the boy who turned into a troll struggled to crawl towards the girl at the end.
Only through personal experience can you get a glimpse of these dramatic and antagonistic plots.
In today's fast-paced social environment, it is undoubtedly a luxury to patiently experience such a game journey.
But Wanda is undoubtedly a good game in my mind. ”
The game process of Wanda is not long. Although many people give up after playing for a while, there are still many audiences of this type of game who patiently experience the entire process.
These players were deeply moved by "Shadow of the Colossus", but when they saw the overwhelmingly negative comments about Wanda on the Internet, they were a little anxious and didn't know what to do.
As soon as Lao Tang published this blog post, they found their base camp.
"It was just commonplace at the time... I never thought that the words 'I have been enlightened for a long time' would actually shock my heart so much."
"Mr. Luo is too cruel. Can't you really let Wanda see the girl wake up with her own eyes?
He has put in so much effort and he has no regrets. Can't you give him a good ending? ”
"In the end, Wanda turned into a baby with horns and appeared at the edge of the pool. Ogro didn't die either. It ended well."
"The artistic content is very high."
"How high?"
“Three or four stories high!”
But no matter what, as soon as Lao Tang's article was published, a debate was inevitable.
Those who like artistry think this game is a masterpiece, the true ninth art.
I was bored to death while playing this game. I felt disgusted by the running graphics, and also said that this game was a piece of shit.
This is also the real reason why Luo Bai said before that for such a game, commerciality and artistry cannot be given equal emphasis.
But no matter how players argue, it is an indisputable fact that the sales of Chuxin's first 3D game "Shadow of the Colossus" were very poor.
For a time, there were endless comments that spoke ill of the original intention.
Against this background, Chuxin released a trailer for a new game on May 7.
The entire video is a bit scary.
In the darkness, the four characters "Dark Soul" appeared in the center of the screen, and then suddenly disappeared.
"???"
"What kind of extravagance are you doing in your original intention?"
"Urgent, urgent! Come again, content!"
