Chapter 273 New Competition Rules

Chapter 273 New Competition Rules

"Star Emperor 2" is a sequel game. The so-called sequel, as the name suggests, is to make some upgrades or changes based on the previous game.

Therefore, loyal players of the previous game like Zhao Yunlong will be able to play it soon.

There are pros and cons to this!

The advantage is that the learning cost is reduced. Players do not have to adapt to a brand new game and can just play it as an old game.

The disadvantage is the lack of surprises. After all, this is a sequel, not a brand new game. There are surprises but not many, and the main thing is "original".

"The plot is okay!"

Zhao Yunlong was ready to eat "Star Emperor 2", so he naturally had to choose a good one. Seeing the barrage complaining about the lack of new ideas in the second generation, he couldn't help but argue: "There are so many new characters in one breath, and there are also new ones." Plot, isn’t that enough?”

"The picture quality and special effects have also been greatly upgraded, new combat mechanisms and injury determination have been added, and the road to immortality has also been retained..."

To be honest, as a sequel game, Zhao Yunlong feels that "Star Emperor 2" has passed the test.

He is a veteran player of the Fairy Sword series.

Compared with the sequels of the Sword and Sword series that "change the soup without changing the medicine", he sincerely feels that "Star Emperor 2" is not bad, at least it is worthy of the price.

What kind of bike do you want for 68 yuan?

If this is "GTA7", then he will definitely be dissatisfied. After all, he has high expectations for Rockstar. The GTA series is also a famous AAA game. The performance of the sequel is really unjustifiable.

But "Star Emperor 2" is not a game of the level of "GTA7", let alone a AAA masterpiece. There is really no need to find fault...

"What the anchor said makes sense. You cannot treat a sequel game according to the standards of a new IP game."

"Indeed, so many upgrades are worth the price of admission, the injury mechanism is also quite interesting, and the plot is even more amazing..."

"Isn't it more than that? I heard that "Star Emperor 2" seems to have launched a set of exclusive peripherals this time. I don't know whether it is true or not."

“Exclusive peripherals are real!”

Zhao Yunlong answered the barrage question, and then posted his order record: "The Galaxy Set is specially made for "Star Emperor 2". I bought the deluxe version. The express delivery has not been sent yet. I will give it to everyone when it arrives. Live unboxing..."

Everyone in the live broadcast room was a little surprised when Zhao Yunlong posted the screenshot.

The Galaxy set is quite famous. After all, Tianba Studio has been sparing no effort to promote this set of peripherals during this period, and there are quite a few interested netizens.

But they are interested, and there are not many players who actually spend money to buy it.

joke!

The game only sells for 68 yuan, but a set of somatosensory gaming peripherals tailored for the game costs hundreds of yuan. Who can accept this?

"well enough……"

"In fact, if you look at the parameters and configurations, you will know that the Galaxy Set is really not expensive, and it can even be considered cheap."

Zhao Yunlong doesn't care. Other Xbox dedicated game controllers are priced at several hundred yuan, but the pricing of the Galaxy set has no problem at all.

It’s expensive compared to the game’s price of 68 yuan.

If you put aside the game pricing and just talk about the peripherals themselves, the price of a few hundred yuan is really not bad, at least it is not a scam, and it is even very conscientious.

Moreover……

The deluxe version is so expensive. If you have limited financial resources, it is not impossible to buy an ordinary entry-level model, which only costs more than 200 yuan.

Speaking of the "Galaxy Suit", Zhao Yunlong is actually looking forward to it.

He just played two games of "Star Emperor 2" using keyboard and mouse. The experience was much better than the previous game, and the impact was even better. It finally felt like a "fighting game" should be.

According to information officially disclosed by Tianba, using the Galaxy Set to play "Star Emperor 2" will provide you with a gaming experience that is more than ten times better than that of keyboard, mouse and controller.

Even the joystick, known as the "Soul of Fighting", according to Tianba Studio's official statement, the experience is much worse than that of the Galaxy suit.

"This is a brand new game interactive experience that goes beyond existing fighting game peripherals, ushering in a new era of fighting games!"

That’s right!

This is the official propaganda of Tianba. As for how true or false this statement is, it is unknown.

Anyway, after watching the demonstration video, Zhao Yunlong was so excited that he immediately pre-ordered the luxury version of the Galaxy Set regardless of whether the video demonstration was true or false.

The video is posted on the product details page of the Galaxy Set, and you can see it by clicking on it.

The content is brief.

A staff member who put on the Galaxy suit connected the game console to the 75-inch large-screen TV and personally demonstrated the correct use of the Galaxy suit.

In the video, the staff member suddenly punched out and shouted: "Shaking God Fist!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the character controlled by the staff member in the game screen also punched out. In an instant, the avenue collapsed and time and space were distorted. With the help of exaggerated special effects, although the punch did not hit the opponent, it really left Zhao Yunlong stunned. .

ha?

Can the game still be played like this?

With the Galaxy Suit, you can not only simulate combat postures, but you can also release skills through voice commands. This is so cool!

What man can resist this temptation?

Others don't know it, but Zhao Yunlong couldn't resist it anyway. He really liked it. After watching the demonstration video, he couldn't help but fall in love with the Galaxy suit. Even in his dreams at night, he saw the famous scene of him wielding a sword to cut off the eternity of time.

So cool!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlong quickly took a look at the logistics information and wanted to know where the deluxe version of the Galaxy Set he pre-ordered had been shipped.

Not bad, it was delivered near Yangcheng.

Based on the distance between Yangcheng and Pengcheng, it is estimated that the express delivery will be delivered to him tomorrow morning or noon.

This speed is not slow.

After all, although he pre-ordered it very early, it was not shipped until today. Calculating the time, it was only a dozen hours.

"Tomorrow afternoon I will use the Galaxy suit to fight on the road to immortality. Please remember to pay attention! As for now, I will go through the plot first and get familiar with the new characters..."

On the first day of the release of "Star Emperor 2", a total of 10 characters were launched for players to choose from.

Among them, the Galaxy Emperor is the first new character that players come into contact with, and he is also the main candidate to pass the plot levels.

His identity is not a secret.

Long before the game was released, Tianba Studio officially released a large amount of background information. From this information, we can know that the Emperor of the Galaxy is the son of the Emperor of the Starry Sky and the innate Galaxy Holy Body!

It's a pity that what every player knows, the Galaxy Emperor himself in the plot does not know.

Tianshu Star, Seven Star Sect.

Ten thousand years have passed since the fall of the Starry Sky Emperor who was astonishing for eternity, pushed across the Forbidden Zone and suppressed the entire era by himself.

A new golden age has begun, and countless geniuses have risen up, intending to compete for the throne in this life and become the next Starry Sky Emperor...

The Seven Star Sect is a sage sect. There are countless powerful people in the sect, and there is also a saint ancestor who has lived for three thousand years. His strength is unrivaled in several surrounding areas.

But this has nothing to do with Shui Wa.

Shui Wa was an orphan accidentally picked up by an elder of the Seven Star Sect. He had no father, no mother, and no name. Because when the elder picked him up, he happened to be floating on a pool, so he was named Shui Wa by the elder.

"Has the Emperor of the Galaxy not yet awakened the Galaxy Holy Body at this time? And why is his cultivation level so low?"

While passing the plot level, Zhao Yunlong complained about the outrageous aspects of the plot.

As the son of the Starry Sky Emperor, the Galaxy Emperor was born a saint, which means he was in the same realm as the ancestor of the Seven Stars Sect, and he also awakened the unique Galaxy Holy Body.

But why in the plot, the young Galaxy Emperor fell to the realm of a saint and has not yet revived the Galaxy Holy Body?

This situation...

Either someone had tampered with her, and this person was the deceased mother of the Galaxy Emperor. Or when Brother Ba was writing the plot copy, he forgot about the setting of the Galaxy Emperor being "born as a saint".

But is this possible?

…

While Zhao Yunlong was busy going through the plot and chatting with the few water friends in the live broadcast room, Chen Ba, who was far away in Jiangning, was also watching others play "Star Emperor 2".

certainly!

As a game producer, Chen Ba has unparalleled knowledge of games, and he is usually very busy. He has no time to watch ordinary people playing games.

The people he was watching and playing games were not ordinary people.

GAL's popular professional player, the core player of the Intel team - Xiaojiu!

This is a professional specially invited by Chen Ba to make a fair evaluation of the competitiveness and match suitability of "Star Emperor 2" from the perspective of a professional player.

In addition to Xiaojiu, the entire team of Intel team analysts and hardware engineers were also invited.

Why Intel?

This has to talk about the current ranking situation of the GAL League!

The Intel team, which had been in decline for nearly three years, finally made a comeback this season, defeating the established giants AMD and NVIDIA, leading the league in points.

Intel Team is currently the most powerful team in the GAL League. If you want to test the suitability and competitive intensity of "Star Emperor 2" for professional competitions, you naturally have to invite them.

The test environment completely simulates the competition conditions of the GAL League, except that the game has changed from "Star Emperor" to "Star Emperor 2".

Xiaojiu played three games with another Intel teammate and easily defeated his opponent 3:0.

The test results are also out.

According to actual on-site observations and the judgment of many GAL League professionals, "Star Emperor 2" can completely seamlessly connect with the current GAL League.

Players and teams only need to get used to the new roles a little bit, and they are almost ready to play.

Perhaps the only question is whether this "injury" mechanism is introduced into the game, and how to set up rules around this mechanism during the game.

This is the headache!

In the game, if the character is injured, it will affect the performance of the next game, but in the game, is the same true?

"Can be introduced..."

As a party involved, Xiaojiu gave a fair and objective opinion: "The existence of the injury mechanism will make the game more exciting and bloody. Moreover, the existence of this mechanism can also greatly enhance the viewing and competitiveness of the game!"

The reason he gave was simple.

The existence of the injury mechanism will make the operational gap between players clear at a glance, reducing the impact of "unique skills" on the outcome of the game.

It's not uncommon for someone to only have one or two powerful characters in "Star Emperor" and then dominate the professional arena.

This is the so-called unique skill brother!

The existence of the unique guy once made the GAL league environment extremely embarrassing. After all, these players choose this role every time. He is not tired of playing it, and the audience is tired of watching it.

I want them to play other characters. Their proficiency in other characters is not high enough to guarantee their strength.

If you don't play other characters, then the game will always have one or two characters, which is really boring...

If the injury mechanism of "Star Emperor 2" is introduced, the situation will be different.

Under this mechanism, a guy with unique skills who only knows one or two roles will have no choice but to be taken away by rotation unless he is not injured all the time.

After all, you are injured, and before you recover from your injuries, you cannot use other characters to play, so I can only ask you to leave the game first and let someone else give it a try.

"Is this injury mechanism shared by the team? Or is it the designated player himself?"

Xiaojiu asked a key question.

The core of the injury mechanism is that after a character is injured, he cannot exert his true strength and must slowly recover from his injuries.

OK!

When this mechanism is applied to the GAL League, a new question arises: Will the selection of injured characters be affected by other teammates?

for example.

There are many professional players in the Intel team. They went to play a game. Xiaojiu played first and used "Galaxy Emperor" to defeat his opponent, but he also suffered serious injuries.

Then Xiaojiu's teammates came on the field and once again chose the "Galaxy Emperor" to play. Is this Galaxy Emperor in "full strength" or "injured status"?

This issue must be clarified!

If teammates choose the same character, and that character is in full strength and not injured, it means that the "injury" mechanism is only implemented for the player, and the unique player will be more uncomfortable.

However, the character chosen by his teammates has still not recovered from his injuries and his strength has been greatly reduced. This means that the injury mechanism is applied to the "whole team" to take effect...

The injury mechanism is applied to the whole team, which is interesting!

Many teams have to study this mechanism and decide which characters will appear first and which characters will appear later. Also consider the priority of the characters in version T0, as well as the injury recovery of these characters.

There are only a few characters with T0 strength in version. If all of them are seriously injured, the team will undoubtedly suffer a lot in the next game...

After all, others can choose version T0 characters, but you can't, because you are also in a "seriously injured" state when you choose them, isn't that giving them points?

But if you don't choose a version T0 character and choose a weaker character to fight, your chances of winning will be too low.

After all, everyone is a professional player. As long as there is no big gap at the operational level, if the character I choose is stronger and more restrained than your character, then I will have the absolute upper hand!

"It must be the whole team..."

Chen Ba said without hesitation: "This will make the game more suspenseful and thrilling."

The GAL schedule lasts for one year.

During this year, the coaching staff and the logistics team must ensure that in every event, the players can select the "prime" version of the T0 character.

This is just like the tire changing speed in an F1 race, competing for logistical strength.

The same version of the T0 character, your serious injury has not healed, and mine is at the peak of its power, so why can you beat me?

The strong logistics team can ensure that these powerful characters can recover from injuries quickly and take turns to "recuperate" instead of all injuries at once. Combined with the players' personal strength and hardware configuration, they are expected to win the GAL annual championship.

If the logistics team is not strong enough and all the powerful characters are "seriously injured" at critical moments, then no matter how fierce the player's personal operation is and no matter how top-notch the hardware configuration is, it will easily overturn...
