Chapter 432 Golden Wind x Legendary Pictures! DLC that joins forces again!
Shuai Fei!
As the robbery ended, there was a sensation among the anchors and water friends—!
OHHHHHHH—This is so handsome! ’
‘Hou Li Crab makes my skin crawl’
‘It’s so cool, holy shit, someone said this game is really fun’
‘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 review? ’
‘Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha real’
‘Then it wouldn’t be called “Payday”, it should be called “Heist Simulator: From Entry to Shooting”’
“Why do you need so much for a fun game? 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 please 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-talked-about Golden Engine seems a bit mediocre and even disappointing, but Sam has once again used his ingenious game concepts and work design to save self-research with sluggish development momentum. Engine, "Payday" is Sam's personal show and an absolute manifestation of his personal ability]
—SLGamers (9.6/10)
【…】
With the release of the game!
Formal scores from various media forums were also released.
Varies 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: This 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?
An average score of 9.5 is enough to beat 99% of the "Long 4 Survival" games on the market.
After all, the orthodoxy of survival lies in gold.
It has feelings, innovation, and gameplay. 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.
It is true.
The results of "Payday" are very good. In this period when many game exhibitions 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 the hidden problems that have existed since the game was announced have still not been solved in Golden Wind.
This hidden danger is the engine.
The ‘Golden Engine’, developed under the leadership of Golden Wind, still seems to have neither outstanding strengths nor weaknesses, and is extremely balanced and can even be said to be mediocre.
In fact, between the release of the trial version of the game and the official release of the game, many media have made speculations.
Some people speculate that Golden Wind will start from the screen and focus on the more important picture quality rendering function.
Some people speculate that the reason why Golden Wind added so much original electronic music to "Payday" is to start from the "hearing" in the audio-visual experience and create a more realistic sound simulation.
More media speculated that Golden Wind will take advantage of favorable conditions to further cooperate with Yiyou, work **** the immersion of the game's body sense, continue to enhance the full sense, and be more suitable for Yiyou's full sensory system.
However!
What no one expected was that it would not be until "Payday" was officially released!
The improvements they had speculated before did not appear in the official version of the game.
"Harvest Day" is "Harvest Day".
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 decorations, etc.
At best, the body feel and gun feel have been further improved and optimized.
Other than that, there is no revolutionary level of quality improvement and innovation.
You can even say—
…
“…In terms of engine industrial quality, Golden Wind’s self-developed engine has not improved at all,”
In the president's office, Masaichi Nakamura respectfully handed 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 know this."
"certainly,"
Taking a sip of tea, Nakamura Masaichi felt deeply:
“From the beginning of Escape, to Sekiro, and then to Resident Evil, Golden Wind, under the leadership of Gu Sheng, has been making progress step by step, and 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.
Hummed for a moment, then said:
“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 - a knocking sound.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice was heard outside the door: "President Nakamura, could you please excuse me? There are the latest developments in Golden Wind."
——!
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here!
Just now I said that we need to judge their next direction based on the latest trends of Golden Wind.
There is 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 is an exclusive term for stand-alone games. It means that developers continue 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.
As "Payday" is a multiplayer online game, it is very normal to release DLC.
but!
It is well known.
Generally speaking, DLC for a game can only be followed up after the main game has been released for a period of time.
After all, in theory, the role 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 first DLC of the game is coming?
And… it’s still free?
You know, looking at the global game market today, as long as a game launches DLC, 99.99% of their first DLC is paid.
This point, let alone other manufacturers.
Even Golden Wind itself was not immune to the same mistakes when it debuted 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 this is tantamount to lowering yourself.
Nakamura Masaichi really couldn’t understand.
“Let me see?”
Speaking, Masaichi Nakamura raised his hand and took the tablet handed over by his secretary.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine was being sold in the Golden Wind Gourd this time—
…
咚咚!
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.
Just this time...?
Nakamura Masaichi frowned slightly.
Golden Wind’s LOGO seems to be different from usual.
In the past, their LOGOs shone with golden luster, gorgeous and noble.
But this time, the LOGO was blurred, and the originally smooth LOGO was covered with a worn texture.
Furthermore, there are stains of blood on the corners of the LOGO.
咚咚!
Follow up!
There was another heavy drumbeat.
On the screen, another LOGO appears again.
With the appearance of this LOGO, Nakamura Masaichi and Itosuke in the office couldn't help but take a breath!
——
You can see that this LOGO also has a metallic texture, and the overall appearance is a four-petal pattern.
The decorative patterns are 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 an undoubted evergreen symbol.
【LEGENDARY (Legendary Pictures)】
good!
This time, the promotional video for "Payday" was actually co-produced by Legendary Pictures and Golden Wind!
Masa Nakamura’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 wind 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 masterpiece "Titanfall" produced by Golden Wind Game Company, is linked to the classic mecha movie "Pacific Rim" produced by American Legendary Pictures.
