Translator 549690339
Chen Moâs Weibo went silent again after the release of animus.
âSo far, the players âunderstanding of Chen Moâs new game was limited to the promotional video of animus. They had no idea what Chen Moâs new game was called or who the main characters were. â
âBecause the Animus trailer only emphasized the concept of âcrossing time and space to act as a heroâ, many players were misled by the trailer and thought that Chen Mo was going to act as a hero like Washington or Caesar. â
If these heroes were the main characters ... Wouldnât the game develop in the direction of a narrative epic?
âHowever, he didnât find the theme fun. â
Many players were worried that Chen Mo might have gone off course.
âWould the emphasis on the sense of history be too strong, leading to a decline in the gameâs playability and making it no longer fun? â
âA month after Chen Mo released animus âtrailer, another VR gameâs trailer caught the attention of players. â
âThe gameâs name was ââCastle the Middle Ages,ââ and the developer was a company called 4K games. â
â4K games werenât the worldâs top game manufacturers, but they were still very famous because they had been deeply involved in historical games. They could be said to be the worldâs top in the related gaming field and had a large number of fans. â
âHowever, this companyâs reputation in China was average. The reason was simple. Their games were not well-translated into Chinese ... â
âSpeaking of which, Chinese players were also very clear about what they liked and hated. It was quite common to give a bad review because a game didnât have Chinese or had poor Chinese translation. The new games developed by the 4K game seemed to be at the level of turning into Chinese, which made many Chinese players who bought the games very unhappy. â
âHowever, although many domestic players had been giving bad reviews, the 4K game still repeated itself. â
âIn fact, the reason was very simple. The games made by 4K games were basically historical games with Western cultural backgrounds, and most of the players were concentrated in Europe and the United States. Although there were some players in China who liked this theme, there were too few of them. Therefore, 4k games were not very focused on Chinese. â
âThis kind of carelessness made the domestic players have a worse impression of the company and gave them all kinds of bad reviews. Therefore, in this vicious cycle, 4K games were basically used to ignoring domestic players, so things slowly developed into a state of old and dead contact. â
âHowever, although 4K games had a bad reputation in China, it did not affect the fact that they had a group of die-hard fans who loved this series of games around the world. Especially for Western players, what does it have to do with us if the Chinese interpretation of the game is good? He still played normally. â
âThis time,ââCastle the Middle Agesââ was a business + war simulation game. â
âIn the promotional material released by the 4K game, the player would play the role of the Lord of a Castle, build the city walls, train soldiers, and ensure the safety of the subjects in the castle. The farmers in the castle would provide the castle with food and resources to ensure the victory of the players in the war. â
âFrom a playstyle point of view, the main fun of ââCastle the Middle Agesââ was to plan the choices of different periods. For example, if too much manpower and money were spent on building walls in the early stages, it would cause weak infrastructure and peopleâs lives to be difficult, which would affect subsequent development. However, if they only focused on the development of resources and facilities and ignored the city defense, they could also be attacked by small-scale Raiders or even wild beasts and suffer heavy losses. â
The biggest highlight of the game was the medieval combat system that was highly realistic.
âAlthough the gameâs setting was not big and was only concentrated in a medium-sized Castle, its combat system was really well done. There were all sorts of medieval troops, including Knights, archers, and so on. Furthermore, when these soldiers were not fighting, they would also carry out their daily lives in the castle. â
âThe Lord played by the players was a brave warrior with far more physical strength and combat power than ordinary soldiers. In battle, players could choose to command from a distance, or they could choose to charge forward and experience the thrill of a life-and-death battle. â
âOther than that, the gameâs loyal reproduction of history was also one of the main selling points. In the game, players could observe all aspects of the lives of the subjects in the castle as Lords. Some of the details of life and battle had been carefully researched by the main team, which basically restored the History of Medieval Europe. â
âIn fact, the concept of similar games was not particularly new. At least, similar business simulation games had appeared many times. However, the reason why ââCastle the Middle Agesââ received so much attention was because it brought the sense of history and reality to an extreme level on the VR platform. â
âIn the promotional video, the main creators of the 4K game introduced the detailed investigations they had done in order to recreate the medieval castle, including various historical details and the process of asking experts and scholars. It could be said that ââCastle the Middle Agesââ was the game with the highest degree of replication of the Middle Ages âhistory so far. If one wanted to experience this sense of history, this game was a must-buy choice. â
âAfter seeing the promotional materials for Castle the Middle Ages, the foreign players were naturally overjoyed, but the domestic players were more unhappy. â
âââThereâs a new 4K game! This time, itâs a medieval setting!ââ â
ââ4K game?The manufacturer that didnât treat Chinese players as humans? I wonât buy it even if itâs a new work!ââ â
âââThatâs right. Iâve bought their games before, and their Chinese translation is worse than a computer flip. They donât even give bad reviews. This kind of game should be bankrupt!ââ â
âââHowever, not only did the 4K game not go bankrupt, but it was also living quite well ... After all, the object of their game was a noble Western master ...ââ â
âââIâm not buying! Iâll say it now, whoever buys it is an idiot, donât regret playing with the sh * t-like Chinese version!ââ â
âââSigh, but I really canât stop thinking about this cold weapon eraâs game theme. I really want to buy it!ââ â
âââThe game is a good game, but itâs a pity. Why is it a 4K game?ââ â
âââWho else could it be if not a 4K game? They seemed to be the only ones in the world who loved making games with historical themes. Besides, putting aside the Chinese culture issue, he did a good job. ââ â
âââOh right, I just remembered, didnât Chen Moâs new game promote âbringing back historyâ? Will you also do the theme of Castle the Middle Ages?ââ â
âââI donât think so, mainly because Chen Moâs new game hasnât even started yet, who knows what game it is? Plus, Chen Mo hasnât made a game with a historical theme before. ââ â
âââPrevious post, how many themes has Chen Mo made before?ââ â
âââYeah, havenât you guys noticed Chen Zhaoâs personality? The other designers only did what they were good at, but he did what he had never done before! If thatâs the case, itâs very likely that his next game will be a historical one!ââ â
