This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

Chapter 675 Big Robot

Chapter 675 Big Robot

It took Mou Feng nearly a minute to complete the Novice Trial.

To be honest, it wasn't very fast.

But he had a great time playing it.

He even played it a second time.

There was nothing he could do.

There weren't many FPS games that could provide such a smooth experience, and such a unique FPS.

Even after playing it a second time, Mou Feng still felt unsatisfied. He

almost got addicted to playing the tutorial level.

Before he decided to talk to Captain Lastimosa to end this session, he took a look at the ranking of the trial session.

All of them were players who passed the trial in more than 30 seconds...

Mou Feng felt that he had entered the game fast enough and played fast enough.

But obviously,

he was not fast enough.

Players who entered the game at the same time were obviously faster than him, in every sense.

Of course, this may also be related to the large number of players entering the game...

Mou Feng glanced at the spectacular ranking wall, and then continued to talk to Captain Lastimosa, choosing the dialogue of "I am ready".

Captain Lastimosa took him to the next stage - simulated driving of a Titan!

"Oh!?"

Mou Feng was immediately excited when he saw the conversation.

Is it finally coming?

On the screen.

After the conversation.

The screen turned white.

Then the simulation cabin simulated an empty scene.

In the distance.

A steel behemoth was on standby.

Mou Feng aimed the crosshairs at the steel behemoth, and the model of this Titan was displayed - BT-7274.

And Captain Lastimosa began to explain this Titan.

This is a pioneer-class Titan, developed by the rebels themselves. This is also the first Titan designed by the rebels, not stolen from their old rival IMC.

Mou Feng looked at the steel behemoth in the distance from afar, very envious.

When Captain Lastimosa asked him to call his first Titan.

He did it immediately.

Not far away.

A landing mark appeared.

Then.

With the sound of breaking through the air, a flash of fire fell from the sky.

Rapidly enlarged!

Then at a low altitude, it suddenly sprayed out fireworks, slowed down, and fell with a bang!

It was another Titan!

"Ohhhh!"

Seeing this scene.

Seeing the Titan coming in front of him, Mou Feng couldn't help but cheer.

But.

Just when another Titan was about to come.

The screen paused and suddenly got stuck.

Then.

All the pictures disappeared.

The upper left corner of the game screen showed that the simulation cabin was "too low in energy".

At the same time.

Captain Lastimosa's voice in reality sounded.

"Okay, rifleman, it seems that something big has happened..."

Obviously.

The teaching level ends here, and it's time to enter the plot part.

"Fuck!"

Mou Feng saw this scene and felt a little amused: "You should have fun first!"

But the game obviously won't change according to his will.

The door of the simulation cabin opened.

Captain Lastimosa sat on the guardrail, holding the wisdom core of his BT-7274 Titan.

He stuffed the weapon into the placement slots on both sides of the wisdom core module, and then handed it back to the Titan body.

At the same time, he talked to the rifleman played by the player.

In short,

there is no time to train now, they are going to a new battlefield.

As the rifleman played by Mou Feng was called out of the simulation cabin and took over the gun.

The game plot officially began.

...

The screen went black.

Then.

Titanfall.

The name of the game appeared in the center of the screen.

The I in the middle of the game name slowly emerged with the special effects of falling.

Then the camera zoomed in.

The atmosphere of a certain planet appeared in the background.

The game name gradually faded, and the falling I also turned into a falling escape pod.

At the same time.

The radio sounded.

[Rebels: We were attacked by anti-orbital defenses on Typhon! ]

[Rebels: The intelligence is wrong! ]

[Rebels: IMC is on the port side! ]

The wrong intelligence led to the ship being ambushed, and the rebels had to abandon the ship and land from orbit with the survival pod.

So, this scene happened.

Countless escape pods broke through the atmosphere, passed through the clouds, and fell down.

Among them was the escape pod that rifleman Jack Cooper was riding in.

The camera slowly zoomed in.

The escape pod slowed down while continuing to fall.

Just as it was about to reach the ground,

accompanied by the sound of falling.

The screen went black again.

Then.

It seamlessly switched to the player's first-person perspective!

Outside the escape pod.

There was fire and smoke everywhere.

The escape pod CPU activated the medical unit and injected medicine into Jack Cooper who fell from orbit.

Then.

As the escape pod door flew off.

Jack Cooper climbed out of the escape pod.

Gunshots and explosions.

Came instantly.

Guns roared, and ships crashed.

In the primitive jungle, there were fire and gun lines everywhere.

The rebels and IMC were exchanging fire!

Jack Cooper paused for a while, then stood up and picked up the gun.

The game officially began.

"..."

Mou Feng looked at the game screen, and his first feeling was that he was watching a movie.

Even when the control of the character came into his hands, he didn't react until the fighter plane whizzed past and exploded in front of him.

He was startled and quickly controlled the character to move forward.

The atmosphere was so good!

It was a blockbuster performance, whether it was CG or the real-time performance on the battlefield.

It was worthy of being a COD player...

Mou Feng sighed while controlling the character and began to move forward with the teammates in front of him.

When he first played the game, he felt that it was

chaotic .

The battlefield was so chaotic.

But it was precisely because of the chaos

that he felt like he was there.

While advancing, he solved the enemies.

But there were too many enemies.

The teammates next to him kept asking where our pilot was.

At this time,

the familiar voice sounded.

Captain Lastimosa said he would be there soon.

At this time,

Mou Feng had also arrived at the new save point.

The difficulty of his driving was not high, so it was not difficult to fight.

He mainly wanted to experience the atmosphere.

And the atmosphere of the game did not disappoint him.

He solved another enemy and continued to rush forward, ready to experience the battlefield.

But the next scene.

A Titan suddenly fell from the sky!

It landed in front of the rifleman controlled by Mou Feng.

The huge impact force directly flipped the rifleman Jack Cooper played by Mou Feng out, and then fell down fiercely.

The picture became blurred in an instant.

It was the enemy's Titan.

The enemy Titan raised its huge mechanical foot and stepped on a rebel soldier next to it like stepping on an ant...

At this moment,

the powerlessness of the flesh and blood body facing the steel behemoth was vividly demonstrated.

At this time,

the enemy Titan noticed Cooper lying on the ground not far away, and gradually approached with heavy steps.

Jack Cooper moved back, but there was no place to hide...

But at this moment,

a male voice full of mechanical sense rang out.

[BT: Get IMC Titan. ]

Then,

just when the enemy Titan was about to step down,

the missile rushed straight in and made the enemy Titan stagger.

Then Captain Lastimosa drove the Titan and threw it over his shoulder, knocking the enemy Titan down directly.

Two steel behemoths were fighting in front of him.

The whole picture was shaking.

It was really shocking...

After dealing with the enemy Titan.

Captain Lastimosa jumped out of the Titan, pulled Jack Cooper to a secret place, and injected him with a dose of medicine.

Cooper, played by Mou Feng, gradually became blurred because of the effect of the medicine.

At this time, BT's voice reminded again-the enemy Titan was approaching, it was the top hunter!

Captain Lastimosa heard this and didn't care about anything else. Finally, he reminded Cooper not to get up, and then drove the Titan again and started fighting with the enemy Titan.

Captain Lastimosa successfully dealt with a top hunter.

But there is more than one top hunter, and there is more than one enemy Titan.

Just when Captain Lastimosa turned to face another Titan.

The space behind him flickered, and a new Titan suddenly appeared and stabbed the Titan driven by Captain Lastimosa with a knife...

The electric current flickered.

The Titan driven by Captain Lastimosa fell down powerlessly.

But the players can't do anything.

He could only watch Captain Lastimosa being defeated.

Then his eyelids gradually became heavy until he fell asleep.

When Jack Cooper woke up again,

the other Titan pilot was cleaning up the battlefield.

Jack Cooper narrowly escaped, and then fell asleep again.

When Jack Cooper woke up again,

it was already daytime.

The native beasts on this planet were gnawing on the bodies of Cooper's teammates, and they also targeted Cooper who had just woken up.

Cooper had no weapons in his hands and was waiting to die.

At the critical moment,

gunshots were heard from a distance,

and the beast was killed directly.

It was the Titan driven by Captain Lastimosa.

The hatch opened.

Captain Lastimosa was dying.

In the end, he only had time to transfer the BT to the new pilot, the protagonist.

To be honest, when

Mou Feng saw this,

he knew what would happen next.

Is this cliché? It

is very cliché.

But cliché has another meaning, that is - the kingly way!!

Mou Feng began to look forward to it!

And the development of the plot did continue in the direction he expected.

In the end,

Jack Cooper buried Captain Lastimosa and inherited his Pilot helmet and jumping device.

When Jack Cooper put on Captain Lastimosa's helmet,

the helmet initialization UI appeared, various modules were loaded, and the surrounding environment was scanned.

At this moment,

the player officially became a Pilot.

The first task of the player was to find a usable Titan battery to get the Vanguard Titan moving again.

Mou Feng started his first Pilot journey after the training level...

As for the feeling,

his evaluation was that

it was really completely different!

Because there was a rifleman plot at the beginning of the game.

So the contrast was really too strong.

Ordinary riflemen were just younger brothers compared to Pilots.

Not to mention the wall sliding fast movement that had been experienced in the training session.

The first time he played the stealth of the Pilot, Mou Feng was really amazed.

Press the middle mouse button, the figure gradually disappeared, quietly approached the enemy soldier behind, and then melee attack.

In the execution animation.

The pilot played by Mou Feng was like a ghost. He suddenly appeared behind the soldier, and when the other party turned around, he shot him in the arm holding the gun. After removing the other party's weapon, he shot him in the head three times.

Blood suddenly appeared.

After the pistol magazine was emptied.

He threw the pistol directly to the side and turned around to pick up the rifle in his hand.

Mou Feng took over the control and used the rifle to eliminate the other two enemy soldiers next to him.

This is... the promotional video! ! !

It's exactly the same!

It's so cool!

When the enemy soldiers saw him, they all panicked and shouted "enemy pilot", which further enhanced the sense of pleasure.

In addition, along the way, the game has set up many weapon refresh points.

The weapons available include rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles...

Mou Feng can walk a distance and change a weapon.

Experience what it feels like to be a pilot without weapons on the battlefield, but can use any weapon.

After the double jump connection, there is no difference from the promotional video!

"It's so cool! So cool!!!" Mou Feng

killed his way through.

He was so happy, and he also found the first Titan battery.

He controlled the character to return to the Vanguard Titan and installed the battery.

Instantly,

the steel behemoth in front of him moved.

It slowly stood up, but soon knelt down powerlessly.

It could only use the intelligence core to scan the environment in front of it.

What surprised Mou Feng was that

the Titan... the mecha in the game seemed to be more than just a tool.

It was quite intelligent and could talk to players.

[Are you okay? Pilot. ]

When the Titan named BT asked this question,

players could choose to answer.

Mou Feng chose the first one.

At this time, Jack Cooper had just become a Pilot, and his tone was full of deep unconfidence.

[Probably... Did you just call me Pilot? ]

[Yes, Captain Lastimosa gave you the temporary rank of acting Pilot. Congratulations, you can call me BT. ]

BT's tone was the same as always, and the mechanical sound did not fluctuate at all.

It gave a definite reply.

After listening to this, Mou Feng was somewhat moved

.

This is also a good way to enhance the sense of immersion!

A rifleman, a new player.

It is normal to have doubts.

Mou Feng smiled, and then continued to take the second battery according to BT's prompt, so that BT could restart the system quickly.

Unlike the first battery just taken.

At the beginning, Jack Cooper could not speak at all. There were only gunshots and the surrender broadcast sent by the enemy radio in the background.

But this time.

Although BT could not move, he could assist Jack Cooper and the player through the helmet radio.

When the surrender broadcast sounded again, asking the rebels to surrender to the IMC search team.

BT would also make a special call and said seriously: "Pilot. I suggest not to surrender to the IMC. The sound pattern analysis shows that they are lying."

BT's serious attitude, coupled with the mechanical voice that makes people more favorable.

It feels a bit cute.

Mou Feng looked at the emerging dialogue options, smiled again, and directly chose the first one.

[Don't worry, BT, I'm not going anywhere. ]

[Understood, but I really suggest you leave quickly, the IMC recovery team is coming soon. ]

[I mean I won't abandon you! 】

【Pilots often need to act without a connection to their Titans. 】

【……】

"Hahahaha."

Mou Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard the conversation.

He almost laughed himself to death, and never faced a gun.

BT doesn't seem to be very smart now...

But...

"Can you chat with robots?"

Mou Feng killed the enemy soldiers, smiled happily, and said, "Interesting!"

After the game provides dialogue options.

Although they are all fixed lines, it does make people feel that they are not playing alone.

And although BT is a bit stupid at the beginning, it is indeed a good window. The game will explain some background through its narration, and remind players of the various skills of the Pilot.

For example, this landing in enemy territory was an accident.

For example, reminding Mou Feng that he can use the stealth function to survive dangerous situations.

The mecha can also answer questions that players are interested in.

Great!

And Mou Feng obtained the second Titan battery with BT's company.

The game experience was excellent during the period.

And when he returned to BT with the Titan battery.

Their original position had been exposed.

Enemy reinforcements were coming here.

BT reminded him to quickly install another battery and complete the neural connection.

It's finally coming?

Mou Feng saw the conversation, thinking excitedly while installing another battery.

[Full Energy] As

soon as the battery was installed.

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical iron parts rubbing.

The behemoth in front of him stood up completely!

At this time, the player must look up to see the full picture of BT.

The huge mecha is full of mechanical beauty.

[Iron Pilot, you must first establish a neural connection before continuing]

[Ready, please board. ]

While Mou Feng was observing the mecha.

BT reminded the player and knelt down again, facing the cockpit directly to the player.

"Here it comes!!!"

Mou Feng knew it was coming, leaned forward, and then directly pressed F to board.

Puff-

air waves gushed.

The cockpit opened.

In the first-person perspective.

Jack Cooper, played by Mou Feng, jumped up and came to the cockpit.

He looked around the cockpit and looked at the delicate electronic components inside.

At the same time.

Background music began to insert.

Jack Cooper took a deep breath and replied: "Okay."

Then.

Turned around and sat in the cockpit.

As soon as he sat on it.

BT slowly stood up, and as the altitude changed, the cockpit door closed.

Then, the screen became pitch black.

Only the faint light from the electronic components inside the cockpit filled the eyes.

However.

This situation did not last long.

Soon.

BT's voice rang again.

[Protocol One: Connecting to the Pilot.]

[Neural connection in progress - Neural connection, completed... Rifleman Jack Cooper, you are now confirmed to be the acting Pilot of BT-7274.]

[Protocol Two: Stick to the mission.]

[Pilot, we must stick to the mission, the order is to continue Special Operation 217 and meet up with Major Anderson.]

BT said this.

Gunshots suddenly rang out outside.

[I have detected an incoming enemy force.]

BT reminded him and said the last agreement.

[Agreement Three: Protect the Pilot]

As the last agreement was said

, the dark eyes flickered, and then... lit up.

Three screens.

One by one, they lit up.

Showing the external environment.

Outside.

A bunch of IMC soldiers had already surrounded them.

And then.

The Titan gameplay that I couldn't play in the tutorial level just now can be played in actual combat!

[Restart the main system.]

[Vortex shield activated...]

Titan's first skill is full of technology.

The shield can block bullets and missiles, and then shoot the captured ammunition back to the enemy.

When he saw the vortex-shaped shield activated, countless bullets stopped in front of him.

Mou Feng couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Then, the second skill, the shoulder-fired rocket capsule!

Press the button to automatically lock on to the enemy. The longer you press, the more targets you will lock on.

Release it to launch.

When you see the red lock symbol appear on the enemy in the distance, release the button, and countless rockets will fly towards the enemy with exhaust.

One shot kill!

Mou Feng's eyes lit up again.

Finally.

[Neural connection completed, main weapon control and action connection reestablished.]

BT's voice sounded again.

Then, a heavy machine gun that can be called a cannon was lifted up by BT and appeared in front of the players.

Reload!

Shoot. Ta-

ta-ta--

the exposed bullet chain kept rolling, the gun body jumped, poisonous fire gushed from the muzzle, and bullets flew.

"Fuck!!!"

Mou Feng finally couldn't help it!

So cool!

This is a mecha!

This is a mecha!!

When BT explained the agreement just now.

In fact, he has been mobilizing the emotions of the players.

Laying the groundwork all the way.

When Agreement Three was spoken out and the screen lit up, the sense of substitution was directly maximized!

At this moment.

Mou Feng seemed to have witnessed the birth of a legendary pilot with his own eyes.

Or rather.

He is now that legendary pilot.

Mou Feng drove the huge Titan, listening to the wonderful mechanical friction sound, and couldn't help asking himself-

is there a more exciting link than this! ?

And the answer to this question is... yes!

[Pilot, enemy Titan detected. 】

【Let's prepare to fight our way out. 】

BT's voice sounded.

Two dialogue options popped up.

Mou Feng subconsciously chose the first one: [Are you sure? ]

[Believe me. ]

BT's mechanical voice sounded.

And along with this "believe me".

Teng teng deng--

exciting music sounded directly!

Then, accompanied by the sound of the helicopter blades spinning, a Titan fell from the sky!

The enemy Titan has arrived!

Model: Beast!

"Awesome!"

The atmosphere was rendered to this extent!

Mou Feng's face was already full of excitement!

And when he controlled the Titan, the spacebar moved horizontally, and entangled with the opponent's Titan.

The two steel behemoths fired at each other, using a short acceleration to constantly dodge the opponent's gun line.

At the same time, the missiles interlocked, and then used protective shields to block and return fire...

"Awesome! This is a big robot!!!"

Mou Feng couldn't help it: "Linmu Studio! Lin Yao! You are a god!"

At this moment.

Don't talk about Tianhu!

He even forgot who he was! !

...

At the same time.

At the door of the study.

Mou Feng's son is not very old, so he is very playful.

After he got tired of playing, he soon started looking for his father.

After looking around,

he didn't find him.

He stood in front of the closed door of the study and kept knocking on the door with his little hands.

Mou Feng's wife came out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She immediately came over to pick up her son and warned him: "My dear son, don't disturb your father, he is working."

"He is not working, he is secretly playing with a big robot!"

Mou Feng's son refused and said in a sullen manner: "I heard it!"

"What big robot? Don't talk nonsense!"

Mou Feng's wife looked at her son and was a little amused: "You obviously want a big robot..."

But before she finished her words...

Mou Feng's excited shout came from inside the house...

"This is a mecha war! The iron romance between big robots! I am a Titan!!"

"Come on! I'll put a machine gun in your mouth!!"

"Fantastic!!"

"...Listen! Mom! Listen!!"

Mou Feng's son heard the voice in the study and looked at his mother with surprise.

Mou Feng's wife: "...?"
