"OK, I don't think we have any problems with the game operation and cooperation." Yi Xuan said after another smooth clearance, and immediately received a strong response from the other three.
"Oh, selling high, I've had enough for a long time, can I not practice?" Neo was the first to put down the handle.
"Yeah, it's so boring every day." Vera said in accordance with it. Yang Kai curled his lips and seemed to agree with him. Yi Xuan smiled helplessly. Isn't he wrong, but now as the captain, he must be foolproof when considering problems, and even if he is bored, he has to force himself to practice.
"Okay, there is no way to cooperate." Close the computer and put it aside, Yi Xuan took out a pile of materials that he had prepared in his backpack, and each person sent a copy.
"What is this?" Vera asked curiously. She picked it up and flipped through it. The whole article was written in Chinese characters, but because of the game hall, she could understand every single word.
"This is information about Diablo 2." Yi Xuan said lightly.
"What? You actually have information about this game." Neo's eyes widened. He never thought that Yi Xuan was so magical. The things he knew before could be regarded as ignorant, but it seemed like this. There are no games that anyone has ever played before. He actually knows the information, and it is such a thick pile, which is a bit scary.
Among the three, only Yang Kai had no special performance. He still knew too little about this game hall and didn't know the value of this kind of information.
"Isn't this game played before?" Neo asked.
"En" Yi Xuan nodded, "It should be said that very few people have played it, but it is not that no one has played it, but even if someone has played it, it is of no value to us, because they have not left anything useful at all. Information."
"Then your information?" When Yi Xuan said that, Vera's heart became even more strange, and even Yang Kai looked at Yi Xuan with a puzzled look.
"Although there is no exact information, it is not impossible to verify the content of this game. The information is actually analyzed by a game expert." Yi Xuan said that his face remains unchanged. In fact, even if the current social expert compares There are a lot of cows, but based on the scope of his friends, where will he know any experts, but only by saying that can he get the attention and recognition of several people, and he will pay more attention to this material.
Several people didn't expect this answer. After looking at each other, Vera frowned and asked, "What do you mean by an analyst?"
Yi Xuan raised his eyebrows. He knew they were not that easy to fool, so he explained: "I found a few friends who are very good at games and told them about this. Of course, when I told them, I said This is the idea of a novel, and then ask them to help analyze it, and what is recorded here is the result of their analysis."
After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly. They said that it was okay. I don’t blame Yi Xuan for taking the lead. It really has some brains. Everyone knows that although the game can be switched between the computer and the arcade, it is still called by this name. Naturally, it is inseparable from the original game version, so some of the settings will not change too outrageously. If you are a gamer who knows the game well, or have game experts involved in the production, analyze the arcade version. Some changes are not surprising.
Yi Xuan saw that everyone had no objections to the information, and immediately urged: "If there is no problem, everyone will take it back and read it thoroughly, at least to have an understanding of the problems encountered in it."
In fact, where are the experts Yi Xuan is looking for, they are some friends on the Internet. As the saying goes, ask Baidu for internal affairs, and Google for foreign affairs. There are many people who are idle on the Internet. Of course, some of them are not ruled out. Some brainy geniuses, if you let them do scientific research, these people will definitely not work, but tampering with the game and analyzing the data are all said to be the best, so Yi Xuan posted some posts in some game forums as early as the beginning of preparations.
Discussing what it would be like to change Diablo into an arcade game, the result is not surprising, less than a day or two attracted tons of replies, of course, the content of this reply has to be screened by Yi Xuan sitting in front of the computer. Most of them are nonsense guys, but some people have seriously analyzed it. From the technical level to the game data, it is reasonable and well-documented, which makes Yi Xuan feel very reasonable, so he analyzes these in detail. I recorded it, combined with my own analysis of everyone in the dark game during this period, and produced this thick material in front of me.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the information page by page, it was a little bit impossible to start, so Yi Xuan simply explained it to the three of them.
"The information you see now is divided into two parts, which are also the two most likely scenarios for this game to turn into an arcade machine. This is an inference from the perspective of the game maker.
First of all, we must understand that the content of the game Diablo is very huge, but it will definitely be simplified if it is changed to an arcade, but no matter how simple it is to fully reflect the story of Diablo and the content of the game, those key plot BOSSs are not. It may be omitted, so the number of levels in this arcade machine is likely to be divided into two types.
The first is the five-level mode. This mode presents the five scenes of Diablo separately, which is concise and clear. Each level has a final boss and many small bosses in front, so the difficulty is relatively lower.
Because there is a gap between the strengths of the five bottom bosses, the design of the small bosses in the middle is certainly not too difficult. After all, they are just a small part of a big level, a small boss. The only problem is There are a large number of small BOSS, which directly increases the difficulty of ordinary monsters in each level, because small BOSS is mixed in it, but in general, we only need to be careful about the bottom BOSS of each level.
The second possibility is that this game is composed of dozens of levels. Of course, because of the problem of the load of the arcade machine and the time of the game, this possibility is relatively small, but according to the usual urine characteristics of the arcade hall, it is not impossible.
In such levels, each level has a guarding BOSS. In this case, the strength of each bottom-level BOSS should be generally higher, but because there are more levels, it may be a little simpler than the irrelevant bottom-level BOSS we expected. , But don’t be too optimistic. Each level must be handled carefully. In this way, the difficulty of the game is immeasurable. Because it is completely a sea tactic, it is very likely that the player will be exhausted in the end, and the game flow will also be exhausted. Corresponding growth, I am afraid that it will take two or three hours to finish the game. The more it is later, the more disadvantaged it will be for us, especially if you have to fight the Demon King Pass if you pass the level with one coin, it is simply a torture, but since It is Samsung difficulty, and this difficulty is inevitable.
In addition, my friends also imagined the arcade version of these BOSS abilities. After all, the BOSS skills in Diablo 2 are fixed. Even if they are converted to the arcade version, they won’t be too much. There is a big difference, except that the 2D game mode is changed to a horizontal pass mode, the format will be a little different, there are still traces to follow. …" Yi Xuan talked endlessly while everyone referred to the information Yi Xuan had brought.
Because the preparation was relatively sufficient, the materials Yi Xuan brought were as thick as a book, and there were many patterns in it, including some common boss shapes, small bosses that need attention, and so on. And there are notes on each picture, the above roughly enumerates the skills and characteristics of the BOSS in the game, and also makes some reasonable assumptions.
The three of them listened and flipped through, all admired in their hearts, saying that Yi Xuan was really serious, and he had done so much homework. Even Neo, who has always been the most confused, showed a serious expression on his face.
In fact, they don’t know that Yi Xuan only has more than 20 coins in his hands. This is because he has made a fortune from Yang Kai, otherwise there are only ten coins, and because of the collection of data, there is no time to play other games to make money during this period. Naturally, you have to plan carefully, and you can't waste any coins.
After talking for a while, Yi Xuan asked a few people to study the information carefully, but some people said that it was the same thing, but it seemed boring to read it for himself. Among the three, Neo was the least cold when looking at the information. Just now because of curiosity, he read more. With two glances, I have roughly read it now. After seeing Yi Xuan still let the research work, I was a little impatient, and after a few glances, he put down the information.
He said: "It's useless to just look at the information, and the information may not be accurate. Anyway, you have read it, and it is almost the same for us. Instead of talking about it on paper, let's just open the whole thing. You should pay attention to it. Command, we just listen to the command."
The big-headed Vera who looked at the information quickly put down the information, then nodded, and looked at Yi Xuan's begging expression, so I mean to call it as soon as possible.
Yang Kai is more patient than the two of them, because among the few people he has the least contact with the game, so he reads the most seriously, but although the information in Yi Xuan is relatively complete, he can also summarize it in a few words. Well, basically there is nothing to read except for some BOSS introductions. Seeing Yi Xuan look at him, he nodded. After all, he hasn't really seen a death arcade game after coming to the game hall for so long.
Seeing that everyone’s opinions were the same, Yi Xuan nodded helplessly: "Okay, let’s start, but let me talk about it first. You must obey the command when you fight for a while. Don’t mess up, because when we score cards. It’s an even distribution, so don’t let yourself be dissatisfied with the sacrifice, understand? When you need to sacrifice, you must work hard." Several people naturally took care of it, and nodded one after another.
In fact, among the four people, Yi Xuan may have the least amount of game coins, so I am afraid of sacrifices. If I look into it, I think Yi Xuan is the one most afraid of.
The four people stood in front of the game console, putting the information in their hands aside, and experimented with the buttons and joysticks in front of them to make sure that there is no inconvenience. Because this game is rarely played by people, the buttons and joysticks move. It feels almost the same as the new machine when it was installed, and it is very exciting.
The four of them glanced at each other, nodded, and each took out a coin and threw it in. The random picture on the screen immediately turned, the screen in front of them went black, and there was a gloomy music around the four of them, and they didn’t know it for a moment. The psychological effect was still real. Several people felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot. Yang Kai only felt that there was a layer of goose bumps on his body.
After the cutscenes, it was the selection screen. On the screen, the seven classic characters of Diablo were lined up in front of the four people.
"How? Which role to choose?" As a veteran player, Vera naturally knew that the distribution of roles also played a key role, so she didn't act rashly and immediately asked Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan had thought about this issue for a long time, so there was almost no hesitation in saying: "I use Paladin, Yang Kai uses Barbarian, Vera uses Amazon, and Neo uses female mage."
"SHIT." Hearing Yi Xuan's arrangement, Neo murmured, making him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart with a female mage, but he also knew that this kind of reversal in the game was inevitable. For Yi Xuan, he There was absolute trust in his heart, so although he finally mumbled, he still chose the female mage without hesitation.
There is a reason why Yi Xuan chose this way. These four professions can be said to cover the necessary abilities for long-range combat, melee combat, and blood increase in a team, and whether it was fighting Dragon and Dungeons with Zhao Beifeng Buck before, I have recently cooperated with Yang Kainio in training. The four-person combination is a priest, a dwarf warrior, an elf archer, and a magician. In the allocation of manpower, Yi Xuan also deliberately observed that this allocation has also passed this period of time. After summarizing some of the characteristics of everyone's character, operation, etc., it was decided that the four professions in Dragon and Dungeons corresponded to the four professions in Diablo, and their skills were relatively similar, so they should be better used.
Therefore, there is no need for Yi Xuan to explain. Several people naturally understand that anyway, they are also the characters they are used to, so they choose the characters they want to choose. After choosing the characters, the screen turns and enters the plot animation.
The plot of the game is the same as that of Diablo 2. It is about the war between angels and demons, and the complicated relationship between humans.
"This animation effect is really nothing to say." Yang Kai said to Yi Xuan next to him. It is the first time he has come into contact with the game of death, so it is inevitable that he is impressed by the quality of the game's screen.
With the end of the animation, four people appeared on a barren muddy map.
There was no monster in the screen. It seemed that it should be used for the players to familiarize themselves with the operation. Several people immediately seized the opportunity, shaking the joystick and experimenting, running, jumping, and attacking.
After a few actions, Yi Xuan was amazed. The operation of this Diablo arcade version and "Dungeon and Dragon: Dark Shadows" is very similar. Both are the most commonly used operation modes for the horizontal version of the game. The A button Attack, B key to jump, C key item to come, D key to use items and spells.
"How?" Yi Xuan immediately asked the other three people after confirming his actions.
"Almost." Vera said immediately. The skills of the paladin are similar to those of the priest. They are mainly based on auxiliary and restricted abilities. The difference is that in this game, the spell slot is required to release a spell in Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Shadows. Casting spells consumes mana, which is the blue bar, but unlike computer games where you can buy mana potions, Yi Xuan estimates that mana potions in arcade games should be dropped by monsters or treasure chests. The number should be It is very rare, and the character's blood volume and mana cannot be recovered by itself, so the necessary spells must be used carefully.
However, compared with the spell slot, the mana value still has some advantages, that is, the use of spells is more flexible, and you can use any spell you want, unlike "Dungeon and Dungeon: Dark Shadow", sometimes it is at a certain level. The spell slots are used up, and even if there are more spell slots of other levels, you won't be able to use this level of magic.
Several people are familiar with the operation, but the smile on their faces is getting thicker and thicker. The familiar keys have added a little confidence in their hearts.
