After finalizing the design concept draft of "Torture and Killing Prototype", Chen Mo called the main members of the studio to a meeting to tell them about the design concept of the game.

The design concept draft of "Torture and Killing" did not arouse everyone's doubts, and the only doubt was: how can this pass the review?

casually made up for it, and I felt that the bloody elements of this game should be on a higher level. Think of the protagonist slashing a soldier into pieces with his claws...... Tsk tsk, this is sour!

However, since Chen Mo has reached a PY deal with the travel committee, there is nothing to say......

The development time of "Torture and Killing the Original Form" is not very long, more than two months, but for the current strength of the entire production team, this time is relatively generous.

After all, "Torture and Killing" is a fast-food game, a large number of scenes can be reused, and the process is not too long.

As long as this feeling of coolness can be transplanted to the VR platform, it will be a great success.

Chen Mo didn't expect this game to create any sales miracles or get super high ratings from major game evaluation media, as long as it was enough to make the players who like it cool off.

Let's make up for the hearts of players who have been abused hundreds of times by Dark Souls......

……

On the Internet, the topic of "Chen Mo's new game" has also aroused heated discussions among many players.

Since entering the industry, each of Chen Mo's games has released a lot of rumors before development, but it can perfectly fool all players......

Although the entire series of "Dark Souls" has ended, the impact has been very far-reaching.

One of the more significant effects was that Dark Souls' style influenced almost all ARPG games on the market, forcing them to learn Dark Souls' combat system and level design.

It's not that these games want to be copied, it's mainly that the players are all shouting, "We want souls fighting!" ”

The biggest feature of soul combat is that in order to create a realistic combat atmosphere, both the protagonist and the enemy are designed to be relatively fragile, and each other will either die or die, so it is essential to think reasonably about the battle strategy; The timing of the attack must also be carefully chosen, and do not go up and slash when you see the enemy.

The soul series also has an energy gauge setting, and after the energy is exhausted, it will not be able to make any action for a short time, and it is easy to be attacked by enemies in this state; So if you can't kill an enemy after a single attack, immediately use the last bit of energy to run backwards and get away, and wait for your energy to recover before fighting them.

This kind of combat mode takes a long time to get used to, and you can't be impatient, and you can win steadily.

Someone once defined the Souls series as a "strategy action game", which is also a more accurate statement in some ways.

After playing the battle rules of Dark Souls, many players are unable to adapt to the battle rules of other ARPG games.

No energy setting, infinite knife swinging? Spicy Chicken!

The difference between the attack actions of different weapons is not obvious, and the stun design is unreasonable? Spicy Chicken!

Can't roll to dodge? Can't show operation? Spicy Chicken!

Weapons systems are not abundant enough? Don't have a special skill? Poor sense of impact? Spicy Chicken!

Many ARPG games are lying down and helpless, so they can only adopt the design of "Dark Souls" to a greater or lesser extent.

It is precisely because "Dark Souls" has such a wide and far-reaching impact that many people almost wishfully think that this must be a souls-based game when they mention "Chen Mo's new game".

Although the plot of the Souls series has ended, players feel that Chen Mo's next work will definitely continue the Souls battle, right?

Therefore, when listening to Chen Mo say that this is a lawn mowing game, the player's first reaction is to keep laughing.

Roughly speaking: you don't have to say any more, we get it!

There are even many people who swiped memes on the forum: "To tell a joke, Chen Mo said that the next game will be a lawn mowing game." ”

In the minds of many players, the "lawn mowing game" in Chen Mo's mouth has long become synonymous with "soul game......

But just when everyone decided that Chen Mo's next game would continue the soul battle, Chen Mo posted a Weibo, releasing the opening CG of the new game in advance.

The text message on Weibo is also very simple, only one sentence.

Welcome to the top of the food chain! 】

Many players were stunned when they saw this sentence, and some even wondered, is Chen Mo going to make a wilderness survival game?

There are some wilderness survival TV shows abroad, in which the adventurer has to take everything he can eat as food in order to survive in the wilderness, so some people jokingly call him a man who stands at the top of the food chain.

Could it be that the inspiration for Chen Mo's new game came from this?

With a lot of doubts, players clicked on the opening CG of the new game.

The first thing that appears in the footage is a yellow cab in the ruins, with a "N. TAXI" sign on its body, indicating that it is a New York taxi.

In the close-up of the shot, there is a mess of ruins, with a faint display of construction debris and clumps of steel bars.

The camera pulls over, and strings of rust-red unidentified substances climb onto the roof of the car and suddenly tighten.

Several heavily armed and heavily armed soldiers passed by, and one soldier said over the intercom: "The danger is clear." ”

The camera continues to zoom out, and several soldiers let their guard down and continue their search into the distance.

Only then did I see the distant scene in the picture, the dilapidated buildings, the road signs that fell to the ground, the traffic lights flashed monotonously, and the ruins of vehicles were blocked into a long queue, like a scene of the end of the world.

The camera zooms out to the top of a building next to the street, where a figure in a black leather coat and an off-white hood appears in the shot.

"My name is Alex Mercer." (Alex Mercer)

"I'm the reason for it all."

"People call me a killer, a monster, a terrorist."

"yes, that's all me." （I am all these things.）

The camera zooms up, and Alex jumps straight from the roof of the building, falling straight to the ground!

"Boom!!"

Alex slammed into the ground like a cannonball, causing a cloud of dust and two surrounding car wrecks tumbling around.

Alex, however, stood up as if nothing had happened, and ran off into the distance.

Crows peck at dead bodies on the side of the road.

Alex ran quickly, easily past the wreckage of the car that was in the way, and then took a light leap.

Nearly ten meters high, jump over!

In order to better express the height of Alex's leap, the camera also deliberately switched to the side, the movement of this jump is very beautiful, but both height and distance have been out of the category of humans!

Alex landed and rolled deftly, then continued to run.

However, the hard ground was directly smashed into a shallow crater by him, and countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground.

Alex continued to run, and the narrator continued to speak nonchalantly.

"Three weeks ago, someone released a deadly virus."

"I woke up in the morgue."

"Now I hunt them down, kill, destroy, and change them."

Alex rushed straight towards a building, and even stepped on the side wall of the building with both feet, vertically upward, and ran with ease!

Between the countless skyscrapers, Alex flew up and down, as if he were walking on the ground.

"I'm going to find out the truth."

"I'm going to let them ...... Take its toll! ”

Alex's figure quickly disappeared into the distance, leaving only a vista of the city that looked like a wasteland.
