Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

The guard in front of him grabbed Zhang Yi's wrist.

The cutscene shot made Zhang Yi look at the back of his hand, where the letters AD were written.

"Okay, where did you get this mark? Boy, do you know that it makes you a false shepherd who stabs people in the back and lurks to harm people?"

"We won't let fake shepherds sneak in, haha!"

"Give him some color, kids!"

Zhang Yi suddenly understood.

In Colombia, the city in the sky, there has always been a rumor that false shepherds will take away the lambs.

And didn’t Booker come to Columbia Sky City just to take Elizabeth away?

In this case, wouldn't it be able to explain it?

So Elizabeth was the daughter of the prophet Comstock known as the Lamb. And Booker is the fake shepherd who comes to take away Elizabeth.

But where did the prophet know this?

Can prophets really predict the future?

And what about the warning card that the newsboy gave her before?

And who are the mysterious siblings who asked Booker to toss a coin before the lottery?

A series of question marks appeared in Zhang Yi's mind.

But now he doesn't have much time to think about these doubts.

Because the picture in front of him brought a greater impact to him at this moment.

The original city in the sky, Colombia, can be described as a dream like paradise.

But now Colombia is still the same Colombia, but it is a Colombia full of blood and violence.

Using a chainsaw weapon like a windmill, he killed the guard who wanted to capture Booker.

The splatter of blood makes the entire game look indescribably weird.

But obviously, Zhang Yi also understood one thing after playing here, that is, "BioShock" is not a pure FPS game.

Like the plot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the story takes up a large proportion.

But compared to the former, the story of "BioShock" seems very complicated.

After all, in modern warfare, you can clearly understand what you are talking about from the beginning.

It's nothing more than Price and his team smashing the conspiracies of various careerists, and then avenging their dead comrades later.

But so far in "BioShock Infinite", Zhang Yi's head is full of doubts. Just like playing a soul-based game, there are countless mysteries hanging over Zhang Yi's head.

Apart from simply knowing that Booker went to take Elizabeth away to pay off his debt, everything else is a mystery.

Can a prophet really predict the future? Who built Colombia’s Sky City? Why did Booker's employer take Elizabeth away?

However, in addition to various confusing plots, the battles in the game made Zhang Yi feel very novel.

Unlike "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" which is simply a tug-dum, "BioShock" is like an RPG type game.

Moreover, you can also use unique supernatural powers in the game to assist in combat.

The magic weapon in the left hand and the right hand can be said to be very cool.

The only thing that made Zhang Yi feel a little at a loss was that the game did not use the breathing method in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

Instead, it uses a constant blood volume like most games, which means players need to look for blood packs in the game.

Zhang Yi chose the normal difficulty. Occasionally, if he overdoes it, he would feel that the blood is not enough.

But what Zhang Yi didn't know was that this design was also intentional by Chen Xu.

Compared with constant blood volume, the biggest advantage of the breath-recovery method is that it allows players to immerse themselves in the plot of the game and get a silky-smooth experience.

As for the constant blood volume, because players sometimes have residual blood and will actively look for blood packs, this brings a sense of fragmentation.

But there is a very important point in "BioShock: Infinite", and that is Elizabeth.

In the game, when Booker gets to know Elizabeth, she will join the team and provide various help.

The blood pack is one of the contents provided by Elizabeth to build the relationship between the player and Elizabeth.

There is no best-of-both-worlds solution, more trade-offs are required, and in "BioShock: Infinite" it is obvious that the emotional shaping of Elizabeth's relationship with the players is more important.

With his identity exposed, Booker stopped hiding and headed towards Monument Island where Elizabeth was.

As the game's plot progressed, Zhang Yi's confusion further intensified after he came to the tax station to talk to Comstock's image for the first time.

Comstock, known as the prophet, seems to be able to predict the future and accurately tell Booker's identity and origin.

Even the conversation between the employer and Booker.

'I know why you are here, false shepherd. ’

'I saw the sins that stained your soul - Wounded Knee, private eyes, alcoholism, gambling and, of course, Anna. ’

‘Now in order to pay off your debt, you still want my lamb? But Booker, not all debts can be repaid. ’

Comstock's airship was snatched, but then Comstock appeared in person and caused the personnel in the airship to commit suicide and turn into flames, and the airship crashed.

So Booker was only able to take one leap of faith.

This is also where Zhang Yi feels excited, using the hook in his hand to glide on the sky track.

He is afraid of heights. Even if he doesn't look at his feet, his legs will shake just by looking at the white clouds around him.

If this falls, he will probably become Zhang Yijiang.

All kinds of mysteries filled Zhang Yi's heart with curiosity. The origin of Comstock and why Booker kept getting nosebleeds during the process.

Could it be that Booker is terminally ill? But it won't be so bloody, right?

Zhang Yi's mysteries are accumulating more and more.

Of course, in addition to these mysteries, the performance of "BioShock Infinite" also amazed Zhang Yi.

Although he had only played the game for about an hour, Zhang Yi could clearly feel the differences in Colombia, the city in the sky.

Religion, race, and steampunk.

Columbia, the city in the sky, can be said to be a standard dystopian city.

Under the leadership of the prophet Comstock, the people seemed to live in peace and contentment, just like the bright colors of the Sky City.

But in fact, this city in the sky is full of racial discrimination and severe exploitation.

In the game, Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson are treated like gods and worshiped by the people in Columbia.

In Columbia, Lincoln was called the Satan of hell, and the devil was called a heretic.

It can be said that there is extreme racism in Colombia, the city in the sky.

These contents are displayed in every detail in the game, rather than simply used as a background board.

This also makes Zhang Yi look forward to how to display this game in the subsequent game content.
