Late at night, Qiao Liang sat in front of his computer and looked at the list of producers of 'Fantasy Battle Remake' on his computer screen. He suddenly wanted a cigarette.
Of course, he did not know how to smoke. He just felt that lighting a cigarette and thinking about life in the smoke was more in line with his current mood.
Qiao Liang's mind was blank after working hard to get through all the story modes of 'Fantasy Battle Remake' and watching all the CG images. There were only countless question marks left.
"Is it because I'm playing this game in the wrong way?"
"Is this really 'Fantasy Battle Remake'? Is it really not some roadside workshop selling dog meat to scam me? "
"Even the DEMO made by the players themselves is better than this!"
Qiao Liang was deeply confused.
It shouldn't be at this level!
It was so bad that it was incomprehensible!
Qiao Liang pinched his nose and played the game from beginning to end. He found at least three or four points that he could not accept at all.
First of all, the finished product was seriously inconsistent with the previous publicity.
Even though the producers did not promise it previously, they had hinted many times that all the interludes of the battle would be remade, including the art resources in the game and the real-time calculations.
They even said that there would be some slight adjustments to the plot to adapt to the changes in the world of Fantasy World over the years.
However, none of these promised changes were completed after the finished product was released!
Most of the interludes in the game had not been remade. They had only increased the resolution and added some light and shadow effects. Even though they looked much better than the old version of the interludes, they still looked like they were from a different era compared to the current game.
Only the two most classic and popular interlude animations were really remade. However, what Qiao Liang could not accept was that the interlude animation at the end that he had been looking forward to for a long time was also done badly!
Qiao Liang's first impression of the interludes was not bad when he saw the interludes.
After all, Qiao Liang's eyes had a strong tolerance for images after watching the messy interludes. He realized that the final animation was obviously different from the original version. What's more, the details had improved a lot.
This interludes looked like they were made using real-time calculations. Even though the movements were smooth and the storyboard was not bad, the details were obviously much worse.
At first, Qiao Liang felt that it was a little perfunctory to use real-time calculation for such an important CG at the end. However, it was not bad and could barely be accepted. However, halfway through, he realized that something was wrong. This was not real-time calculation at all, it was a real CG!
This was enough to make people collapse!
If such an effect was achieved using real-time calculations, it could still be said that the producers were capable but had no attitude. However, now that a proper CG had achieved the effect of real-time calculations, didn't that mean that they had neither the ability nor the attitude?
It would have been fine if it was other manufacturers. However, the key reason why the series of games like "Fantasy Battle" and "Starcraft" were so famous was that their CG was very exquisite. It could even be said to have surpassed the times.
How could such a manufacturer produce such a CG? What a joke!
What's more, the optimization of this game was very poor. There were all sorts of inexplicable small problems. Even though it was not to the point where they could not play at all, it was a fatal blow to the gamers' mentality.
Fantasy Battle Remake did not change the game engine as many players had expected. Instead, it was patched on the basis of the original engine. There would even be occasional lag when playing with the current high-end computers. Other things, such as the black screen when loading the battle map, the inexplicable return to the checkpoint selection interface after loading, and so on, were extremely irritating.
What was even more ridiculous was that there would be a bug in the Chinese subtitles of the game, completely destroying the gamers' gaming experience in a very comical way.
All in all, Qiao Liang's expectations were completely disappointed. 'Fantasy Battle Remake' was a pile of sh * t. It was a complete piece of trash. There was no highlight at all!
At first, Qiao Liang was in a good mood today. He had just finished watching the movie 'Mission and Choice' and happily opened 'Fantasy Battle Remake' to continue enjoying himself. He was like a person who had just eaten a big meal but was not full yet. He wanted to eat some dessert, but he did not expect to accidentally eat a big mouthful of sh * t!
This disgusting feeling was simply causing serious mental damage. It would last for a long time.
Qiao Liang opened the fan group and forum to see the others' reactions.
Previously, Qiao Liang deliberately did not pay attention to the information about 'Mission and Choice' and 'Fantasy Battle Remake' mainly because he was afraid that spoilers would affect his first impression of the game.
Now that he had played it, he did not have to worry about spoilers.
As expected, the gamers online were also cursing crazily!
This morning, everyone's discussion was focused on 'Mission and Choice'. The domestic gamers were all elated.
That was because this was a pleasant surprise. Many people had guessed that Tengda would produce a game called 'Mission and Choice', but they did not expect it to be so fast and of such high quality!
With the release of 'Mission and Choice', many gamers were just like Qiao Liang. They were looking forward to the upcoming 'Fantasy Battle Remake'. Many RTS gamers felt that they would reap double the joy today.
In the end, 'Fantasy Battle Remake' gave them a head-on blow and knocked them unconscious.
The domestic gamers were cursing. The angry gamers were looking for various ways to refund the game, shouting that they had been deceived.
The gamers' complaints were similar to what Qiao Liang had seen. It was nothing more than the actual quality of the remake was too different from the promotional video, and there were all sorts of small bugs that seriously affected the game experience.
The foreign netizens were even more intense than the domestic netizens.
Some netizens moved the ratings of foreign games websites. Just a few hours after it was released, the rating of 'Fantasy Battle Remake' had already plummeted. The full score of 10 had already fallen to 2.7, and it seemed to be continuing to drop!
The official platform responded to the doubts of foreign gamers. "According to the feedback given to us by the gamers' community, everyone hopes that we maintain the original taste of the game and do not need to be broken at all. Therefore, we decided to withdraw our original plan to redo the interlude animation and corresponding animation movements. We will retain the spirit of 'Fantasy Battle' and let gamers relive that unforgettable moment. "
This official response obviously intensified the conflict.
The gamers were already holding back their anger. They had spent the money of a 3A masterpiece to buy such a pile of trash, but the official platform actually pushed the blame to us?
What do you mean by 'everyone wants to maintain the original taste'? Who is your so-called 'everyone'?
What the hell do you mean by 'let players relive that unforgettable moment'? If they wanted to relive it, couldn't they just play the original version?
It was obvious that the time limit and budget were not enough, and there was no sincerity at all. Yet, they found such a fresh and refined reason. Did they really think that gamers were retarded?
To gamers, this was a complete commercial fraud. Of course, they could not tolerate it!
Many gamers pushed the blame to the outsourcing company that the official platform had found. They felt that the game was completely the fault of the outsourcing company. However, players soon realized that the outsourcing company was only responsible for a portion of the game model, and this portion of the model was already the relatively outstanding part of the entire game …
Just as Qiao Liang thought that it was over, he saw an even more shocking post.
Some foreign media noticed that compared to the original version, the final user agreement of the remake of 'Fantasy Battle' had been modified. The custom maps created by players using the map editor belonged to the development company. The maps created by players were also the property of the development company. Not only did it include the various art elements in the map, but it also included the gameplay and all content of the map!
This news could be said to add fuel to the fire, making the gamers even more furious!
As everyone knew, the reason why Fantasy Battle had maintained a good vitality was partly because the E-Sports competition was not bad. On the other hand, it was because there was a large amount of community-made content. The various RPG maps created by players could be said to be enduring.
However, once this agreement was changed, it meant that players would not be able to retain the ownership of the map they designed. If the map became popular, players would not be able to retain their research and development results and could only hand them over.
In fact, a similar agreement was already in place two years ago when Galaxy was released. However, because the map editor of Galaxy did not have too many outstanding works, this agreement did not cause too much of a stir at that time.
On the other hand, the news of Fantasy Battle Remake changing the user terms at this juncture was simply giving ammunition to the critics!
On the external web, many players had already gone to various gaming websites to give Fantasy Battle Remake a low score. There were even many players who called for the website's original lowest score to be 10 points. They wanted to raise the current last place to ensure that Fantasy Battle Remake's rating would become the lowest on the entire website!
All in all, before it was released, Fantasy Battle Remake had attracted much attention and was a godly work. However, after it was released, its reputation plummeted. Its ratings plummeted, and there was a lot of criticism. Gamers who had pre-purchased it were refunding it one after another. Naturally, those who did not buy it would not take the initiative to eat this sh * t.
He did not expect that this former godly work would lose its integrity in its later years. Its reputation and sales would explode!
Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional after surfing the internet.
"I didn't expect 'Fantasy Battle Remake' to end up like this?"
"If I had told anyone ten days ago that 'Fantasy Battle Remake' would end up like this, everyone would have thought that I was crazy."
"Especially compared to 'Mission and Choice', the difference is even greater!"
"The original shame of the domestic games industry has been made into a true 3A masterpiece, and the original classic game has been made into a pile of sh * t …"
"This is too much of a topic! I have the content of the new episode! "
Qiao Liang suddenly realized that even though 'Fantasy Battle Remake' sucked and fed him a mouthful of sh * t, it also provided him with perfect material!
If 'Mission and Choice' wanted to become a godly work, it would not be enough to rely on itself. It would also have to rely on its peers.
What could be more exciting than stepping on the former godly work, 'Fantasy Battle', to ascend to the altar?
Qiao Liang suddenly felt inspired and immediately began to write the script for the new episode!
