Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

For many players, the two points they care about most after playing "BioShock Infinite" are two points.

The first point is how they miss Elizabeth.

The second point is what kind of place the underwater city seen at the end of the game is.

In the content preview video before the game was launched, players all knew that they would get answers in this game.

The extremely spectacular Paradise City, the flashing neon signs, and the huge underwater creatures that you skipped.

The video screen quickly switched, and inside Paradise City, there was blood, corpses and madmen.

The background music seems so weird.

On a dark street, a little girl with a needle and red eyes turned around and said to a huge 'monster' wearing a diving suit.

A series of fragments were edited, and the scene came to a crashed plane.

As the plane crashed into the sea, a yellowed letter gradually enlarged.

But there was no way to read the text above, and the next moment the game's camera suddenly appeared in a small, dark room.

‘Give me my daughter back! No! ’

A roar came from the darkness, and countless players who had played "BioShock: Infinite" were shaken up.

They heard it, it was Booker's voice!

How is this going?

But wasn't Booker killed at the source by Elizabeth in "BioShock: Infinite"?

Along with a coughing sound, the picture appeared.

The door was pushed open in the darkness.

A mature woman wearing ol' ol' clothes walked in.

‘What do you want? ’

‘How about you light the cigarette for me first and then we’ll talk? ’

As Booker's hand burned with flames, the woman with her back to the camera slowly turned around.

Countless players are filled with excitement.

'What's your name, miss? ’

'Elizabeth...'

Then the scene fades into darkness.

……………………

This promotional video immediately sparked heated discussions among players.

Although the content of the video is not very long.

But for players, what is shown is more than enough.

And what surprised them the most was that Elizabeth's appearance in the video was completely different.

Becoming more mature.

Especially Booker’s line.

Give him his daughter back.

And Booker in the game doesn't seem to know Elizabeth.

‘It’s obvious! This is a parallel world! The original Booker is dead, but not all Bookers in the parallel world are dead. ’

‘But the key point is, is this Elizabeth still the Elizabeth we know? ’

‘I don’t understand it at all! ’

‘It’s weird to understand! The story and game background of "BioShock" are still very deep. ’

Online players are discussing various things, but basically they all have a lot of questions.

But this is normal. After all, trying to figure out the story of "BioShock" by relying on a preview video is simply fantastic.

After all, this game involves all aspects of content.

Religious theocracy, utopia, quantum mechanics, etc., a lot of content, how can it be so simple to understand.

But anyway, that's the only thing that makes players excited.

That is, Elizabeth in the game still has relevant scenes.

Just knowing this is enough.

Especially Elizabeth, who has changed into a new look, makes people lick the screen.

Why do you care so much about him?

I want to buy it just for Elizabeth!

If you don’t buy it, you are simply not human!

………………

In more than a week, "BioShock: Elysium" was also successfully unlocked after Infinite.

Many long-awaited players entered the game for the first time.

The forum was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

‘Elizabeth and Booker should be able to live together as members in the end, right? ’

‘It should be like this, Elizabeth can probably retire peacefully. ’

‘But is Booker in the original world really dead? ’

'I don't know. In fact, they may not really be dead. Just like Lutes and Mrs. Comstock, they are both dead from a physical point of view, but from a cognitive point of view, they are actually dead. Was still alive again. ’

Many players are very optimistic about City of Paradise, the final game of "BioShock".

Song Ren, a player who has also been thinking about it, also entered the game for the first time.

Just as Zhang Yi complained that Elizabeth was much more useful than his pig teammate, Song Ren had the same idea when playing. He felt that if he had Elizabeth as a teammate, then his multiplayer online games would not be messing around in the fish pond all the time.

If the score can't be improved, it's all because of Lao Zhang's incompetence!

In this case, Elizabeth's thoughtfulness deepened his love for this character.

"Mr. Chen's works are full of joy and sorrow. In the previous game, Booker may have died, which is a kind of sadness. So according to this logic, "BioShock: Paradise" should be a joy." Song Ren guessed in his heart. .

"But there is a bit of a contrast. The opening scene of the game in Infinity is a boat, but the game map is a city in the sky. When you get to the Paradise City, it is an airplane, but the map is the Paradise City under the sea." Song Ren sighed with emotion.

At the same time, the narration of the game cutscene also appeared in Song Ren's ears.

'1……'

"This timeline seems to be after "BioShock: Infinite"!"

Looking at a letter on the black screen, Song Ren showed a hint of surprise.

Then the game appears inside the cabin, and the name of the game protagonist appears: Jack.

This made Song Ren a little surprised. Did he change the protagonist?

Sitting on the seat, Jack held a burning cigarette butt in his hand.

Next I heard Jack's inner monologue.

‘They said to me: Son, you are a special person and you are destined to do great things. ’

'do you know? They were right. ’

As he spoke, Jack took out a gift box from the luggage next to him.

There was a note on it: Jack Kai, Mom and Dad love you...could you please...don't open it until...

At this time, the screen fell into darkness, and Song Ren's ears suddenly heard a burst of gunshots, explosions and screams.

When the screen was restored again, the screen had turned into the sea.

The plane crashed and Jack became the only survivor on the plane and fell into the sea.

In the distance are the wreckage of the plane and a huge, extremely dazzling lighthouse.

"It seems like a familiar scene!"

"It's the same lighthouse start."

Arriving at the lighthouse on the sea, Song Ren looked around.

Unlike the previous lighthouse in "BioShock Infinite", the interior of this lighthouse is not so eerie.

A huge statue of a man sits in the center of the lighthouse, with a banner hanging from it.

It reads: Human beings are the gods who dominate everything.

"Colombia's Sky City is flying into the sky, and now this Paradise City is under the sea!"

A prominent submersible sits beneath the statue.

Obviously, if you want to go to the Paradise City located under the sea, you need to go through this submersible.

Song Ren has already experienced this in "BioShock: Infinite".

Enter the submersible and pull the switch.

A brisk bg sounded.

A promotional video about the city was played on the submersible's screen.

A man named Andrew Lane appeared on the screen, explaining to the passengers the submersible's destination: Elysium.

He said this was a utopia for scientists and artists.

The fruits of everyone's labor will not be exploited by religious and political systems.

Accompanied by Andrew Lane's narration.

The high-rise buildings of Paradise City appeared in the window of the submersible.

This paradise city located on the seabed brings Song Ren's visual sense, which is not at all as small as Columbia, the original city in the sky.

Although he had just started the game, Song Ren felt that his attention had been completely attracted by the deep-sea metropolis in front of him.

"The same utopian city, I feel that Paradise City will not be a good place."

Song Ren sighed.

Although I have just started playing the game, I have previous experience playing Columbia Sky City.

Song Ren also had no expectations for this Paradise City.

And it's not just Bioshock either.

Anyway, whether it is in movies, novels or games, as long as it involves utopian cities, there must be darkness behind the prosperity.

After all, Utopia and this kind of city can only appear in ideals.

"But...where is my Elizabeth?"

After sighing for a while, Song Ren discovered a bigger problem.
