Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

This short video of less than 30 seconds immediately aroused heated discussions among countless players.

After all, although the video is short, it can reveal too much content, and it is too explosive.

The first is Kratos in the game, this is the official stone hammer is still alive, and there is also a sequel.

For players who like "God of War", it is undoubtedly a surprise news for them.

Another point is that Kratos in the video is not Kratos in youth, but Kratos in middle-aged and old age.

In addition, the gods in Greek mythology were basically slaughtered, so the background of the new work also made many players curious as to where Kratos is now.

At the same time, Kratos' face also surprised the players.

What kind of role is this?

Whether you have played the game, or you have not played it and just learned through the video, there is a common understanding that this Spartan brawny is a crazy character.

Before becoming a **** of war and still working for the gods of Olympus, Kratos has always been in an extremely violent state.

After the second part, after being plotted by Zeus, Kratos completely turned into an angry revenge machine.

Killing is a constant theme, the aesthetics of endless violence, and the adrenaline rush of watching players.

At that time, Kratos can be said to be not afraid of the sky and the earth, and the existence of God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

But what about now?

In this video, Kratos' eyes are very calm, and his face is much older.

For God, there is no age limit, no one can tell.

But the only thing that is certain is that Kratos is old, at least in terms of his appearance in the video.

With such a setting, what kind of story will be shown to the players in this God of War sequel, and from this video, it is clear that Nebula Games did it on purpose.

It's not that I saw that the "God of War" trilogy sold well, and then settled on a fourth installment.

In that case, why is this sequel not released like the previous trilogy?

Many players are dumbfounded.

But anyway, this video is enough to make players excited and look forward to it.

Although "God of War" is a brand new IP, the epic plot interpretation of the trilogy, as well as the content that maximizes the aesthetics of violence, have to make players admit that it is really very cool to play.

Although the content of this God of War sequel has not been announced, the time and content are still a mystery.

But there are already many players who have said that buying, buying, buying, not buying is not a person!

Just one Kui Ye is enough, and they also believe that with the foundation of the previous trilogy, the quality of this work is also guaranteed.

Of course, some players expressed doubts. After all, in just 30 seconds, even if it only showed a Kratos, that style really feels completely different.

In fact, this time, although both are God of War, the protagonist is also Kratos.

But this sequel is completely different from the previous trilogy.

The project of the game is developed at the same time, but the core is different.

It's not that the background of the simple game came to Northern Europe from Greece, but the more critical point is that the gameplay and content of the game have also changed.

The previous God of War is more inclined to platform jumping and action, while the God of War that came to Northern Europe is more inclined to RPG, and tends to tell a story to the player better.

Of course, this does not mean that the depth of the action of the God of War is gone.

Therefore, after Chen Xucai's trilogy was launched, players debated whether to promote the game because of the ending of the third part of God of War.

At the same time, this God of War, Chen Xu is not the suffix of God of War IV, but a pure God of War.

After the game name was announced, the players also looked strange, rubbed their eyes and wondered if they had read it wrong.

"What do you mean? Isn't it "God of War IV"? Why is it called "New God of War"?"

"Isn't it Kratos' story? Kratos is a soy sauce in this God of War, the kind that makes a cameo?"

"It's not impossible, after all, the story of Kratos has been told, and the Greek gods are almost killed."

"Has the style of the game also changed?"

Not only players, but even many designers in the industry are a little surprised by "New God of War".

After all, the success of the previous "God of War" trilogy can be said to have fixed the gameplay of this series.

But judging from the title of the game and some of the content previously revealed, this work seems to want to make some breakthroughs, rather than being limited to the previous God of War trilogy?

Many designers in the industry also secretly speculate in their hearts.

This is a very bold move, but the key is the success of Nebula Games?

Many designers in the industry are still skeptical about this. Of course, there are also some designers who are eager for the "New God of War" of Nebula Games to encounter Waterloo.

Especially on the FOW side, aiming at the VR version of the DOTA market and testing "Olympus" online, it is still in the BETA public testing stage, but now the popularity has been completely robbed by "God of War".

Even if the types are not the same, but there are Greek themes, the key point is that the player's time is also limited.

And for the FOW side, the most important point of "Olympus" is to collect players' information, and at the same time, the hype is good and the market of DOTA is divided as soon as possible.

After all, compared to their new work, the DOTA market has stabilized.

But the emergence of the "God of War" series completely disrupted FOW's publicity plan.

Now the only hope on the FOW side is that Nebula Games better make drastic changes in this "New God of War", make the whole game unrecognizable, and then arouse the resentment of players.

………………

In the attention of the industry and players, this time "New God of War" did not make them wait long. After all, when the "God of War" trilogy was developed, the new God of War was already in the planning.

In mid-June, "New God of War" was launched on the Nebula game platform.

After many players entered the game with full expectations, they were all dumbfounded.

Although everyone had all kinds of guesses on the Internet before, when they actually entered the game and experienced it, everyone had an idea.

"Is this really the God of War? What happened to Kratos during this time?"

Zhang Yi looked at the game while leaning against the tree while gently stroking the golden handprints on the tree. Kratos, who was caught in the memory, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

And this is also a question that all players are concerned about.

Why did Kui Ye become like this?

How did Kui Ye's Chaos Blade become an axe?

With such doubts, Kratos slashed the tree heavily with the axe in his hand in the game.

With the splash of sawdust, the tree was cut in half and fell to the ground.

When he was about to bend over to pick up the tree trunk, the bandage on Kratos' left hand came loose.

It seemed to bring back memories from a long time ago. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before starting to put the bandage back on again.

'I found some...'

At this moment, the voice of a little boy came from behind Kratos.

I saw a bear child holding an unknown plant in his hand, and curiously approached Kratos.

At this time, Kratos turned around subconsciously, so that the bandaged arm avoided the sight of the bear child.

'Come on board, boy. ’

Kratos said expressionlessly, while carrying the big tree on the ground, turned around and took the little boy named Atreus towards a small boat parked by the stream.

Kratos threw the trunk into the water and tied it to the stern of the boat and rowed down the river to another pier.

child?

Is this Kui Ye's son?

Kratos has a son?

Son or adopted?

If it's biological, who did it come from?

Could it be that it was given by Master Kui playing a mini game before?

impossible! Obviously, the small games are all about squeezing red souls!

For a moment, Zhang Yi's heart was full of confusion.
