Purchase, payment, download.
There were two prices for Fantasy Battle Remake. The free version was 168 yuan and the deluxe version was 258 yuan.
Of course, a hardcore gamer like Qiao Liang had to buy the deluxe version.
It was a little painful, but Qiao Liang felt that the money was worth it.
True hardcore gamers could tolerate the game being expensive as long as it was worth it.
Qiao Liang looked at the game's capacity and download time after opening the download.
"It's more than 30 gigabytes. It's much smaller than Mission and Choice?"
"Er, but 'Mission and Choice' forcefully stuffed a Blu-ray movie into it. It might take up more space."
What Qiao Liang did not know was that the initial installation bag of Mission and Choice did not contain all the Blu-ray movies. Only the first few parts were stuffed in.
If Qiao Liang checked the capacity of Mission and Choice's folder now, he would realize that the game had actually exceeded 100 gigabytes.
On the other hand, the 30 gigabytes of Fantasy Battle Remake also included the content of the original client.
In fact, he could already sense some signs in advance from these details. However, the image of Fantasy Battle Remake in Qiao Liang's heart was too beautiful. Thus, he naturally ignored these 'small problems'.
He still had to wait even though the internet speed was very fast.
Qiao Liang opened Mission and Choice again and played it while waiting for Fantasy Battle Remake to finish downloading.
Qiao Liang realized that the other gameplay of the game was also open when he entered Mission and Choice again.
The title screen would not appear when players first started playing Mission and Choice. It would be the game's plot once they entered. If they exited the game in the middle, they would continue the plot from where they left off the next time they entered.
The title screen would only appear when they entered again after clearing the entire plot for the first time.
There were several different options in the title screen. They were 'Story Mode', 'Eternal War', 'Online Battle', 'Creation Mode', 'Options', and 'Exit Game'.
The story mode was to experience the plot again. However, this time, they could jump to a specific stage.
Eternal War was obviously similar to Endless Mode. In this gameplay, they would still be fighting against AI-controlled Zergs, but the difficulty would gradually increase.
Online battle allowed players to fight against each other, and players to fight against AI. They could freely choose the number of people on both sides, the size of the map, and the difficulty of AI. The degree of freedom was very high.
Considering that there was no balance between humans and Zergs in Mission and Choice, this online battle mode could only be considered a relatively relaxed entertainment mode.
What attracted Qiao Liang the most was obviously the Creation Mode.
Previously, Fantasy Battle had released an editor along with the game, giving birth to a large number of classic RPG maps. Gods Rising was also born from it.
On the other hand, the creation mode of Mission and Choice was equivalent to the official game editor being built into the game. It simplified the use of the editor and added many modular operations so that ordinary players could create a map that belonged to them with a little exploration.
Of course, if he wanted to create more complicated content, he would still need to study and research.
There was also a pop-up notification when he entered the creation mode for the first time. The general idea was that the basic content such as art materials in the creation mode belonged to Tengda Games, while the map mechanism, gameplay, and other content that were created by the players belonged to the players.
If players found out that their maps had been infringed, they could contact Tengda to defend their rights. Tengda would help deal with these infringements and protect players' legal rights.
Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional when he saw this. Tengda still had a conscience!
Players used the editor to create original gameplay content. The copyrights definitely belonged to the players themselves. There was no doubt about that.
However, Tengda could add an additional sentence. If the author was infringed, they could help to defend their rights. This was still very heartwarming. It reflected a form of care for players.
Qiao Liang looked through all these modes but did not play them in-depth. After all, these modes were not much different from the battle content of the plot mode. Qiao Liang's mind was filled with Fantasy Battle Remake.
It would not be too late to slowly experience these modes when he had time in the future.
Of course, Qiao Liang was most optimistic about the creation mode of Mission and Choice. There should be many interesting RPG maps appearing after a while.
However, "Fantasy Battle Remake" would definitely remake the editor this time. At that time, it would be hard to say which one players would choose.
Qiao Liang walked around Mission and Choice for a while and briefly experienced the other gameplay. Then, he could not wait to leave.
That was because he realized that the download of Fantasy Battle Remake had been completed.
"Alright, alright. Organize your emotions. Don't think about Mission and Choice when you play Fantasy Battle Remake seriously. It makes me look like a scumbag."
As a core gamer, Qiao Liang was still very devout when playing such games. Qiao Liang even felt his hands trembling slightly when he clicked on the game icon.
He even felt excited as if he had reunited with a goddess that he had not seen for many years.
However, Qiao Liang was stunned when he saw the game screen.
"This image …"
"Er …"
Qiao Liang was speechless.
It was indeed a remake. The entire image quality was much better than the original game. However, not only did it not make Qiao Liang's eyes light up, it made him feel a little disappointed.
That was because the title interface had only slightly remade the original art resources. One could see the differences in the details, but the entire interface layout was still the same!
If this UI layout was placed ten years ago, it would indeed be quite advanced. However, after so many years of development, the overall UI layout had become better and better. Compared to the game graphics of this era, this UI layout was a little outdated.
"Perhaps I want to restore this original feeling as much as possible. The important thing is not the external interface packaging. The main thing is how the actual content is."
Qiao Liang quickly found a reason to comfort himself. He clicked the 'Battle Campaign' button and prepared to experience the game's plot.
Fantasy Battle might be an extremely competitive RTS game, but its competitive nature could only be experienced by a small group of top-notch players. Qiao Liang was not a core player of RTS games. To him, the plot was the most essence of the game.
That was because according to the official news, the CG and model of this game had been redone. Qiao Liang thought that even if this CG could not reach the level of Fantasy World, it should at least reach the level of Starcraft, right?
In any case, he just had to enjoy such top-notch CG.
The dim yellow sky, the vast land, and the reddish-brown ground covered with weeds. The camera gradually zoomed in, and a low female voice began to recite the narration.
"The horn of war is still echoing in the wind, but the afterimages of the old days have quietly arrived …"
Qiao Liang's expression quickly changed from anticipation to confusion, and then from confusion to confusion.
"That's it?"
"This precision … are you sure it has been remade?"
Qiao Liang even began to doubt his own eyes and memories.
He no longer had any impression of the original CG of Fantasy Battle. The feeling that the current CG gave him was that it did not seem to have changed, but it also seemed to have changed a little.
It seemed to have only slightly increased the quality and resolution of the old CG?
This CG did not have that kind of mosaic feeling. It looked very clear. However, the problem was that the details of the texture in the CG were a mess. The weeds on the ground did not look real. Even the shape of the soldiers inside did not change at all!
It was very old-fashioned.
"That shouldn't be the case. I know that it's expensive to make CG, but shouldn't the first few CGs be made better?"
"Alright, I might have spent the money on the more important CGs at the back. After all, this game's plot is too long and there are too many CGs. It might not be able to handle all of them being remade. It's understandable for them to be remade in batches."
Qiao Liang could only comfort himself this way.
He clearly remembered that the final plot of "Fantasy Battle" was especially exciting. It was a head-on battle between two highly popular characters. As long as that CG was redone, it would be fine. It would not matter if the CG of the small fries in front of it was not redone.
After the CG, the battle campaign loading bar began.
Qiao Liang frowned again.
"This interface … has really been remade? I can't see any difference! "
"That's not right. The progress bar seems to be even uglier than before."
"Why isn't the word 'loading' on the progress bar in the middle? It's slightly to the left? Is he trying to force someone with OCD to death? An intern can't make such a mistake even when doing a powerpoint, right? "
"Something's not right. Is this really the official version? Are you sure it's not a semi-finished product in the testing stage? "
Qiao Liang had already fallen into deep self-doubt before he could even see the official game.
Could it be that he had clicked the purchase button in the wrong way?
Finally, after some time on the loading bar, he entered the game.
However, Qiao Liang's psychological defense completely collapsed when he saw the real game.
"Fraud, this is definitely fraud!"
"This is the same game as the trailer?!"
The official game graphics did have some changes compared to the original version, but it still gave people the same feeling as the CG and the title image: the quality of the graphics had indeed improved, but the art resources did not seem to have changed at all!
The actual game graphics, in particular, stunned Qiao Liang.
That was because the official platform had released a trailer when they were preheating "Fantasy Battle Remake". It was a very classic battle plot in "Fantasy Battle".
In that trailer, all the character models and scene details were as detailed as Fantasy World's online games. In fact, one could even see the hair of the characters and the pores on their faces when watching it at close range. The shape of their mouths matched their lines perfectly.
There might still be a huge gap between it and the current 3A games that were famous for their graphics, but as an RTS game, it could already be considered to be superior.
However, Qiao Liang realized that none of the content shown in the trailer was there!
If the original game graphics were 1 and the game graphics shown in the trailer were 10, then the current game graphics were at most 2.
It did not seem wrong to say that this was a remake and the quality of the graphics had improved. However, it was completely different from what gamers had imagined!
