Chapter 123 Breaking the ceiling! The greatest level in game history
!(Part 1)
Full marks.
Xu Xiaolin has never given such a high score to any game in so many years.
Obviously, the level design ideas of Titanfall that Gu Sheng brought from his previous life have far exceeded the level of games in this world.
‘The idea of passive level design that never changes, is enough to shock and scream,’
'And the way the components are assembled one after another and the final battle is presented like the opening of an opera curtain is even more mind-numbing,'
'There is no doubt that supernova Gu Sheng is using his genius game understanding to refresh the upper limit of the game industry over and over again,'
'I don't know where Gu Sheng's upper limit is, or I can't tell what the upper limit of Golden Wind is,'
'But as far as Titanfall is concerned, I think this level [Into the Void] is enough to prove the ultimate in level design,'
'Perhaps the next levels will still be exciting,'
‘However, if we only look at it from a level design perspective, I think even Gu Sheng himself would find it difficult to surpass [Step into the Void].’
'After all, it seems to have touched the ceiling of the world's linear game level design ideas,'
'Unmatched, unsurpassed...'
Swish a little bit!
Xu Xiaolin's pen spreads freely on the manuscript paper.
Yes, after completing this level, Xu Xiaolin couldn't hold back his excitement. He walked out of the somatosensory cabin and expressed his amazement on the manuscript paper, praising this level without hesitation.
Of course, on the one hand, he is too excited and can’t wait to write a review now.
On the other hand, he was also really tired.
The nearly twenty hours of gaming time caused his mental energy to become severely distracted.
If you continue to play it, you will be disrespecting Titanfall.
Therefore, he chose to start the live broadcast while sorting out his ideas for review and writing, thinking about relaxing.
However!
Just when he reached the eight words "unmatched, unsurpassed" in his writing!
Just listen to Teacher Lao in the live broadcast room suddenly let out a series of incredible screams!
"Fuck? Fuck...fuck!!!"
"Ya'er! What the hell is going on!!!"
…
Just half an hour ago!
After the grand opera-like battle stage is set up!
Teacher Huo suffered a series of old crimes!
Numerous simulated IMC soldiers and robots took turns to appear, launching a wheel-and-wheel battle against him. Even in the end, he had to use his pilot body to destroy two enemy Titans in a flash without the assistance of BT!
Disaster.
too difficult.
Teacher Hua died a dozen times!
After finally escaping and reuniting with BT, they met Ash - the owner of this huge assembly factory.
at the same time!
She was also the murderer who walked out of the void and pulled out the BT battery, directly causing the death of Captain Lastimosa!
After all, the sharp and heavy alloy giant sword behind the Ronin Titan she was driving was too eye-catching!
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Teacher Lao, like all the players, were all furious.
Terrifying artillery fire interlaced, extreme bombardment, and the roar of the core exploded, and the huge mechas clashed.
The big sword kept swinging out electromagnetic shocks, and the two sides started a blood feud while walking in the void!
Ash is so powerful that even if players fight side by side with BT, they are still often at a disadvantage!
Once, twice, three times...
Five times, ten times, twenty times...
In the duels over and over again, the players' skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the use of various Titan components has become more and more proficient.
finally!
When Bloody Ash's alloy sword was fatally swung in the air, the outcome of this fight to the death was decided!
Just like what was demonstrated in the promotional video, countless players united with BT's beliefs and swung out powerful steel fists. The powerful impact even caused a shock wave in the venue!
And Ash was forcefully taken out of the cockpit by BT!
The player clenches his fist, BT tightens his palm, and the mechanical transmission brings huge force like a hydraulic press, crushing the enemy who killed the enemy!
Cool--!!!
The pleasure of getting revenge has made countless players cheer happily!
Teacher Linglao even opened the somatosensory cabin and temporarily left the live broadcast room to smoke two cigarettes!
After calming down the excitement!
Then we entered the somatosensory cabin again, and together with BT we left this unique level that was exploding and collapsing, which was unforgettable for a long time.
On the way, the cute BT’s weak comments also made people laugh——
[BT: Pilot, I think we should not take shortcuts in the future...]
"I think so, brother..."
Teacher Hua burst into laughter.
that's all!
The two set out on the journey again.
After a long journey, the marked distance was finally shortened to about 100 meters in the heads-up display.
【cause and effect】
[Arrived at Major Anderson’s meeting point]
The new level name appears in the lower left corner of the UI.
Teacher Li, who was working separately from BT, also received a message from BT——
[BT: According to the marking point, Major Anderson is in this building. Go through and investigate this building. You and I will meet on the other side]
"Okay brother,"
Jumping into the building along the ventilation pipe, Teacher Huo nodded:
"Don't get arrested again..."
The unexpected situation at the previous level left him frightened.
[BT: I will never take shortcuts again]
BT's speech made all water lovers laugh——
‘It’s created a psychological shadow for BT’
‘Good Wife’
‘BT is so interesting, so cute and cute’
‘Now I have a long memory’
‘He was panicked, he was obviously panicked’
‘One shortcut, two people panic’
'laughing to death...'
‘…’
Hearing BT's response, Teacher Li felt a little relieved, but not completely relieved.
So, after ten or twenty seconds, I will use the Pilot helmet to say a few words to BT.
"BT? Are you still there?"
【BT:I'm here, Pilot】
"What are you doing now?"
[BT: I’m on my way to pick you up at the target location]
"Oh oh oh, okay, how far am I from you?"
[BT: I'm at the exit of the building. We're not far apart. We'll meet soon.]
"Ya'er, you sound so damn gay, brother. It feels like I'm dating you."
[BT: According to human understanding of love, love requires admiration, attraction, dedication and respect. Obviously, friendship is more suitable between us]
"Ouch ho ho ho -"
Hearing this, even Teacher Piao, who is known as a pig-skin bully, couldn't help but blush, laughed and scratched his head crazily:
"You are a bit of a flirt, damn, you made me a little shy..."
Teacher Huo walked towards the depths of the dilapidated and deserted building while chatting with BT.
However!
The words have not yet been spoken!
suddenly!
I saw that the space around me seemed to be distorted, and a strange sound that seemed to come from the void sounded in my ears!
Teacher Hua felt that the pressure on her body suddenly changed!
Zoom——!!!
The corridor that was dilapidated just now was instantly transformed into a new one!
In the brand new reception desk, elegantly dressed etiquette staff are sorting out the information of visiting customers.
Several researchers holding tablets in their hands and wearing white coats walked past, and the sound of rustling discussions could be heard.
In fact, a work robot that was cleaning the floor almost hit him!
"...What the hell is going on???"
This was the strange cry that Xu Xiaolin heard!
However!
After this scream, another call from Zoom was heard!
The surrounding environment changes again, returning to desolation and dilapidation!
"Ward-fa???"
Teacher Hua was confused.
The flashback just now was like traveling through time.
And this happened more frequently as he moved on!
Zoom——
The work robot passed me by, and a smiley face popped up on the display screen on its chest.
Zoom——
The dilapidated corridor is overgrown with weeds and the steel bars are rusted and rotten.
Zoom——
In the spacious and bright leisure area, several staff members were leaning next to the coffee machine to receive coffee, and two researchers were discussing formulas in front of a small whiteboard.
Zoom——
The broken coffee machine had long since become a pile of scrap metal, and the small whiteboard originally hung on the wall had been burnt black and only half of it remained.
The scenes change more and more frequently, and the flashbacks one after another make people's scalp numb!
The barrage at this time was also full of exclamations!
'What the hell! What is going on?'
‘I don’t know, it seems like a sudden rewind of the timeline’
'Time is unstable?'
'Although it's not the same time, it's the same lock release. Today I am the eighth...'
'Oh - shit! Holy Ark?! Didn't you say before that IMC was looking for an ancient core that can affect time?'
‘Hiss!!! It seems so!!!’
'Is BT okay?'
‘…’
After seeing the barrage reminder, Teacher Lao suddenly realized and hurriedly asked in the intercom:
"BT, are you okay over there? What's going on?"
BT immediately responded: [Time and space distortions have filled this building, and they seem to have caused rifts in time and space. I suggest that we remain cautious until we have further information]
Just talking!
Teacher Hua also walked into a conference venue through a broken electric door—Zoom!
The flashback happened again, and the spacious and bright conference hall was filled with people.
On the podium, a general with gray temples and a fierce face was delivering a speech:
"...Everything we do is for the reproduction of mankind..."
"The resistance forces stop our unification, so they must be eliminated and suppressed..."
"...Pilot, what's the matter?"
Seeing Teacher Lao walking towards him in the venue, the general named Mad asked with some confusion.
Zoom!
Time is back on track again.
In the dilapidated and messy venue, there was only a teleprompter device on a lonely podium.
Teacher Huo stepped forward out of curiosity and patted it.
Then an indistinct chissing sound was heard:
"Chi chi... everything... chi chi... thrive..."
"Resistance army...chichichi...clear out suppression..."
"Pilot...chichi...is it something?"
Damn it!!!
A moment!
Teacher Hua felt as if her heartbeat had skipped a beat!
To know!
In the past timeline, General Mader did not know his true identity and thought he was an IMC pilot, so he asked this question.
but!
That was obviously something that just happened in the flashback.
But it actually affects the current timeline!
In other words, every flashback in this building can have an impact on the current world line!
A feeling of high energy ahead arose in Teacher Piao's heart.
Although there are many novels and film and television works about time travel, there has never been one that has been moved into a game and made like Titanfall!
Continuing forward through the conference room, he came to a long and wide corridor.
Walking quickly along the corridor, time and space are distorted and returned to normal again and again, and the turbulence of time and space seems to be occurring more frequently.
Run all the way to the end of the corridor!
Zoom!
As the timeline returned to normal, a hunting beast suddenly jumped out and stood in front of him.
But the next second, it was captured by a flying dragon.
And the flashback happened again—Zoom!
Teacher Huo walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall at the end of the corridor and looked into the distance.
But he saw that where he was now was on the second floor of the building.
The exquisite garden corridor downstairs is clean and tidy, and all the way forward along the corridor is a huge double-ring facility, surrounded by several drones, seeming to be studying what to fill in the double-ring.
Zoom——!
Time and space returned to normal, the glass curtain wall in front of them shattered, and the double-ring design also collapsed and shattered, turning into a ruin.
"Holy shit...what kind of place is this?"
Teacher Hua asked.
[BT: IMC has its own research institutes all over the border system, but we seem to have never discovered this facility before]
"That's too exaggerated, brother," Teacher Huo jumped out of the second-floor window: "How many facilities like this are there?"
[BT: In the eight months before Operation Broadsword, the Rebel Ninth Fleet destroyed 29 such facilities]
Following the conversation, BT's tall and reliable figure also appeared at the entrance of the research institute.
I saw him grabbing the corpses on the ground and scanning them: [None of these corpses match the characteristics of Major Anderson. He may still be alive. I suggest you check the hall]
"OK,"
Hearing that Anderson might still be alive, Teacher Hua breathed a sigh of relief:
"Then I'll go take a look. You can wait for me here."
With that said, Teacher Lao picked up the EVA-8 repeating shotgun in his hand and entered the hall with a sliding shovel.
The hall was in ruins, with traces of war damage everywhere.
The walls were riddled with bullet marks, and weeds even grew in the gaps in the cement floor.
Follow the escalator to the second floor and look up!
I saw a pilot hanging on the ceiling.
Oh no, to be precise, it's "embedded" in the ceiling.
His head was upside down, one arm was hanging down, and half of his body was on the first floor.
The other half of his body was embedded in the floor, and his legs were probably on the second floor at the moment.
"Fuck...fuck...???"
Teacher Hua was shocked!
What kind of magical gesture is this?
They quickly walked forward and took off the pilot's helmet, confirming that this was the target they had been looking for - Major Anderson.
"BT...I...uh..."
Teacher Li didn't even know how to describe the situation in front of her:
"I found Major Anderson, he...he's in the ceiling..."
[BT: Objective accomplished, we have successfully reunited with Major Anderson]
Teacher Li was silent for a moment:
"...Brother, this joke is a bit hell."
BT was serious: [I didn’t mean to express humor]
BT is very serious, Teacher Lao is speechless, and the audience is having fun——
‘Hahahahahaha I’m sorry but this answer is really funny’
'We successfully reunited with Major An? What are you asking Desen? Desen is on the second floor...'
‘Anderson’
'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...'
'I just want to know how the major got in!'
‘Failed to use Feitian Card’
‘Packed my bags on my back...’
‘Hahahahahaha! I laughed so hard that I looked for my head all over the floor’
'Muyu, I need wooden fish!'
‘Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-’
‘Laughing and knocking on wooden fish’
‘Merit+1-1+1-1+1-1…’
‘…’
"Oh, don't fucking do this! Damn it, I'm laughing so hard that I'm about to burst into tears..."
Seeing the ridicule floating on the barrage, Teacher Piao couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed out loud several times:
"It was originally a very sad thing, okay, you guys hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
While laughing, BT also completed the data compilation of Major Anderson.
It turned out that just two weeks ago, the rebels intercepted IMC communications and learned that they had made a huge discovery on this planet.
After that, a huge energy explosion occurred here, and the energy fluctuation caused the distortion of space and time.
This time, Major Anderson was ordered to use a device called a 'wristband' to sneak into this facility and investigate relevant information.
But obviously.
He failed.
so now--
[BT: We are obliged to continue to perform mission operation 217 and complete Major Anderson’s investigation mission]
To help Cooper gain access to the facility, BT removed a light pole in the square.
Then he bent his left arm and pointed his right hand at a gap at the top of the building.
Then he took a run, like a javelin thrower, and threw the light pole directly, and the wires connected to the light pole became a zipline.
"Hiss—brother is awesome,"
Teacher Huo admired sincerely, and then looked at the script that popped up in the UI:
"Maybe you can try to ignore me next time."
【BT:Understand】
Say it!
Teacher Huo no longer hesitated, hung up the wire hook lock, and slid all the way into the gap in the building...
…
at the same time!
Zhenting Game Studio Headquarters, Game Director's Office.
At this moment, Zhou Ting, one of the founders of the studio and game director, is also watching the live broadcast.
See here!
Zhou Ting felt a numb feeling coming from his fingertips.
I opened my mouth several times but didn’t know how to express my emotions!
He seemed to vaguely feel that this level was different.
The setting of time travel, flashbacks in which the past can affect the present, Anderson's bizarre death, and the ever-changing subtle terrain due to the distortion of time and space along the way...
A bold guess took shape in Zhou Ting's mind.
But this guess only flashed in his mind, and it made him tremble as if he was electrocuted!
"No...impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
This is crazy!
To know!
In the level just past, the unimaginable passive motion level design is enough to make people’s jaws drop!
It's him!
The chief director of a domestic first-tier shooting game manufacturer!
I couldn’t help but be amazed by it, calling it incredible!
That exquisite linear level design language seems to have reached the top of this era!
Whether at home or abroad!
The design of the level where you step into the void can be called a ceiling-level existence!
And now!
Zhou Ting was confused.
Zhou Ting panicked!
He seemed to have thought of what Gu Sheng was going to do in this level, but he still couldn't believe it!
Gu Sheng.
How greedy is this man!
Doesn’t the honor of touching the ceiling of level design still make you satisfied?
Is it possible to break the long-standing ceiling?
Are you satisfied?
Do you want to completely defeat the inner defenses of me, a top domestic FPS game designer, and kneel before you and surrender?
Are you satisfied?
"Insect Tide 2100" has lost!
As early as when your last level of "Titanfall" came out, I had already lost!
What else do you want to do?!
Zoom——!!!
Before the roar in Zhou Ting's heart subsides!
Just listen to the sound of time traveling suddenly!
In the live broadcast room, A Yin clenched his fist with his gloves on!
The time and space in front of me suddenly flashed back!
Zhou Ting was struck by lightning!
he knows.
The ceiling of game level design cannot be maintained tonight.
