Chapter 432 Golden Wind x Legendary Pictures! DLC that joins forces again
!
Shuai Fei!
With the end of the robbery, there was a sensation among the anchor and water friends——!
'OHHHHHHHH——This is so handsome!'
‘The gift crab gives me goosebumps’
‘It’s so cool, holy shit, someone said this game is so pure and cool’
‘Indeed, although the realism is a bit less, the rhythm of the game is really exciting’
'That is to say, is there a possibility that if it is too real... it will not pass the trial?'
‘Hahahahahahaha it’s true’
'Then it wouldn't be called "Payday", it should be called "Heist Simulator: From Entry to Shooting"'
"Why do you ask for so much for a fun trip? Is it because the money is not enough to stimulate the adrenaline or is it because racing and escaping are not fun enough?"
‘The main thing is pure, I’m just a gamer, if you like it I’ll buy it, it’s that simple’
‘…’
[There is no doubt that for an 'experimental work', "Payday" does not incorporate too much deep thinking. The simple combination of "magic robbery" and "electronic music" makes it an absolute masterpiece.
An online game worth trying]
——SNG(9.5/10)
[Pure adrenaline stimulation and an unprecedented evil experience make this game full of freshness. Although the excitement will gradually fade after repeated play, fortunately, its upgrade route is very cleverly designed, and if you have a group of people who are also looking for
Friends who are excited, then this game is definitely the best choice to test your tacit understanding]
——Hummingbird Game Forum (9.4/10)
[It is undeniable that so far, the much-anticipated Golden Engine seems to be a bit mediocre and even disappointing, but Sam once again used his ingenious game concepts and work design to save the self-researcher who had sluggish development momentum.
Engine, "Payday" is Sam's personal show, and it is an absolute manifestation of his personal ability]
——SLGamers(9.6/10)
【……】
Released with the game!
The official scores from various media forums were also released.
Ranging from 9.4-9.6.
Obviously, such a pure and refreshing game still maintains everyone's basic impression of the quality of gold games.
Although the score of "Payday" does not seem to have reached the "good score" of "Golden Wind" - the average score is above 9.7.
But just as the players commented: It is such an extremely cool game that focuses more on gameplay and game rhythm. Even the Golden CEO Team let go of their hands and feet to enjoy the pure and cool experience. The game itself does not boast any in-depth thinking.
and core, how can you make higher demands on it from the perspective of game depth?
The average score of 9.5 is enough to defeat 99% of the "Left 4 Survival" games on the market.
After all, the orthodoxy of survival lies in gold.
It's sentimental, innovative, and playful. It's OK to get a few friends to become a green forest robber who is full of crimes.
but!
There are two sides to the story.
True.
The results of "Payday" are very good. In this period when many game shows are being revised, in the global game circle, it is also unique and can definitely be played.
but!
With the official release of the game, everyone also discovered that Golden Wind has still not solved the hidden problems that have existed since the game was announced.
The hidden danger is the engine.
The 'Golden Engine', developed under the leadership of Golden Wind, still seems to have neither outstanding strengths nor weaknesses. It is extremely balanced and can even be said to be mediocre.
In fact, during the period between the release of the game trial version and the official release of the game, many media made speculations.
Some speculate that Golden Wind will start from the screen and focus on the more important picture quality rendering function.
Some also speculate that the reason why Golden Wind added so much original electronic music to "Payday" is to start from the "hearing" aspect of the audio-visual experience and create a more realistic sound simulation.
And more media speculate that Golden Wind will take advantage of favorable conditions to further cooperate with Yiyou, work hard on the immersion of the game, continue to enhance the full sense, and be more suitable for Yiyou's full sensory system.
However!
What no one expected was that until "Payday" was officially released!
The improvements they had speculated before did not appear in the official version of the game.
"Payday" is "Payday".
Compared with the "Mercy Hospital" level in the previous trial version, the official release of "Payday" only made more improvements in the game content.
For example, adding more robberies, adding more skill trees, adding more firearms and equipment, adding more linkage costumes, etc.
At best, the body feel and gun feel have been further improved and optimized.
Apart from this, there is no revolutionary level of quality improvement and innovation.
we can even say--
…
"...In terms of engine industrial quality, Golden Wind's self-developed engines have not improved at all,"
In the president's office, Masaichi Nakamura respectfully brought a cup of tea to Itosuke, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise:
"Although it is expected, it is also good news for us."
"indeed,"
Hearing this, Itosuke nodded:
"However, we should not take it lightly. After all, Gu Sheng is difficult to predict. I believe you also know this."
"certainly,"
Taking a sip of tea, Nakamura Masaichi felt deeply:
"From the beginning of Escape, to Sekiro, and then to Resident Evil, under the leadership of Gu Sheng, Golden Wind has been progressing step by step. Several marketing campaigns have caught us off guard,"
"So this time, although until now, overall their engine crisis still exists, and the problem is very serious,"
"But I haven't taken it lightly yet..."
Speaking of this, Nakamura Masa paused.
After pondering for a moment, he then said:
"Now I just want to know the follow-up plans and actions of Golden Wind,"
"No matter what kind of action it is, as long as it is related to the game industry, we can see some clues..."
That’s all!
Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the office door from outside——
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice was heard outside the door: "President Nakamura, could you please excuse me? There are new developments regarding Golden Wind."
hiss--!
As soon as this statement came out, both Nakamura Masaichi and Itosuke were shocked.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
I just said that we need to judge their next direction based on the latest trends of Golden Wind.
There's news when you turn around!
"Come in!"
Nakamura Masaichi was refreshed and his eyes were bright.
As the office door opened, the secretary walked in, holding a tablet in his hand:
"President Nakamura, Golden Wind has just updated a free DLC for "Payday"."
DLC?
Hearing this, Nakamura Masaichi was stunned for a moment.
DLC, the abbreviation of DownloadableContnet, refers to downloadable content.
Originally, this was an exclusive term for stand-alone games. It meant that developers continued to add relevant expansion packs and expandable content to the game through subsequent updates in addition to the game itself.
Later, with the continuous development and progress of the game industry, today's DLC is no longer exclusive to stand-alone games. It is possible for major online games and even online games to release DLC.
It stands to reason.
"Payday" is a multiplayer online game, and it is very normal to release DLC.
but!
As we all know.
Generally speaking, the DLC of a game can only be followed up after the main game has been released for a period of time.
After all, although in theory, the function of DLC is to improve the world view, add playable content, expand playability, etc.
But everyone knows that from the perspective of game sales, it is mainly used to add fire to games that are gradually declining in popularity.
But now.
Payday has just been released!
It’s only been 24 hours!
The game’s first DLC is here?
And...it's still free?
You know, today, looking at the global game market, as long as a game launches DLC, 99.99% of their first DLC will be paid.
On this point, let alone other manufacturers.
Even Golden Wind itself was not exempt from this when it first launched the first DLC for "Resident Evil 7".
But this time, they broke the rules and not only launched a DLC inexplicably when the game was still at its peak popularity.
Even this DLC is completely free!
Evil!
Whose good game has the first DLC for free?
Doing so is tantamount to lowering one's own worth.
Nakamura Masaichi really couldn't understand it.
"Let me see?"
Saying that, Nakamura Masaichi raised his hand and took the tablet handed over by his secretary.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the Golden Wind Gourd this time——
…
Boom!
Accompanied by a heavy drumbeat.
On the dark screen, a logo with a precious metal texture appeared.
【Golden Wind】
This is a typical opening of Golden Wind.
Movie-quality promotional videos are their specialty.
Only this time...?
Nakamura Masaichi frowned slightly.
The LOGO of Golden Wind seems to be different from usual.
In the past, their logos shone with golden luster, gorgeous and noble.
But this time, the logo was blurry, and the originally smooth logo had a worn texture.
Moreover, there are stains of blood on the corners of the LOGO.
Boom!
Next!
There was another heavy drum beat.
On the screen, another LOGO appears again.
And with the appearance of this LOGO, in the office, Nakamura Masaichi and Itosuke couldn't help but take a breath!
hiss--
You can see that this LOGO also has a metallic texture, and the overall appearance is a four-petal pattern.
The pattern decoration is complex and the structure looks compact and symmetrical.
For the gaming industry, this LOGO does not seem to be a frequent visitor.
But from an international cultural and entertainment perspective, this LOGO is undoubtedly an evergreen symbol.
【LEGENDARY(Legendary Pictures)】
good!
This time, the promotional video for "Payday" was actually co-produced by Legendary Pictures and Golden Wind!
Nakamura Masa's eyes widened for a moment!
Not only Legendary Pictures, but also a film production company actually participated in the production of DLC for a game called Golden Wind.
What shocked him even more was——
Just three years ago, the golden trend had just entered the international stage.
Legendary Pictures has had a collaboration with them.
And that linkage, to this day, is still called the most successful movie linkage in the history of game development.
That time.
The first 3S-level mecha FPS game "Titanfall" produced by Golden Wind Game Company is linked to the classic mecha movie "Pacific Rim" produced by Legendary Pictures.
