games website BioShock 3: Infinite Detailed Review: Target year's best!
Total score: 9.4
Recommended crowd: Highly recommended to all adult players with mature values and correct outlook on life!
Summary: The BioShock series has always been a steampunk fantasy story with strong political overtones. As the soul of game production, Ken Levine is not only responsible for game production, but also the screenwriter of the game script.
As a game that focuses on depicting the distortion and destruction of human nature under the domination of desire, the BioShock series brings players more than a simple story about the protagonist who goes through hardships and finally defeats a powerful enemy.
In the latest BioShock Infinite, the game has moved from the dark undersea city to the bright sky city, and the game graphics have changed from the previous dark and mysterious to bright and vivid. However, the portrayal of various ugly aspects of human nature has not changed with the transformation of painting style, but has become more vivid and incisive.
Don't think that the world in the game is far away from you, in fact, the sky city is around you and me. The so-called "warm thoughts of lust", all unrealistic desires are caused by their own hearts of jealousy, choose morality or succumb to desire from now on to become a walking dead, the choice is your hand!
A game from the beginning of development and promotion to the final release has been in line with a law, that is, before the release of the dare to continue to break the publicity film and the actual game operation demonstration of the game basically will not be bad, and from the development to the final listing of the unknown game will generally thunder.
"Bioshock: Infinite" from the release of the first promotional film to the present, has received a number of authoritative media unanimous praise, and even some media is not stingy with its praise of the United States will be "best of the year" and other words on the "infinite" head.
And so players will find that the word "god" is used to describe "infinite" without exaggeration, which is a perfect integration of art and business operation of the ninth art, is also a strong competitor for the best game of the year, at present, 2013 cross-platform games only GTA5 have the capital to compete with.
1. Game introduction -- 10 points
The game is set in 1912, and players move from the closed environment of Elysium City to the huge floating city of Columbia City. Conceived at the dawn of America's rise to world domination as a floating symbol of the American Dream, this floating city was flown to distant shores by a group of enchanted people.
The floating city, which was supposed to be a new symbol for the pursuit of dreams, suddenly disappeared in the clouds. The player plays as Booker DeWitt, a former Pinkerton agent who is sent to the lost city to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman who has been imprisoned there since childhood, in order to pay off her debts. When the protagonist successfully contacts Elizabeth and prepares to take her to her destination, Something unexpected happened.
Two people are not only chased by the authority, but also by the opposition to kill, and the guard Elizabeth of the mechanical big bird also pursued two people, all the way to escape and fight, the protagonist slowly found that things are far from their imagination as simple...... .
Bottom line: If you think this is just a cliche story about an old man saving a young girl, think again. If you look closely at the game, you will find that the creators have spared no effort to bury some profound and allusive words in the game, large and small.
From the so-called democratic freedom to the critique of social forms. In the game, the production team expressed their unique understanding of the government's ideology, and also gave their own views on democracy and freedom. Of course, it's all up to the player to explore and understand. And when the player clears the customs, will also suddenly realize that all this is "unexpected, reasonable".
2. Game screen -- 9 points
The game is built with Unreal 3 enhanced engine, and the overall picture is bright and bright without greasy, although it is somewhat cartoonish, but it also better sets off the steampunk background that the game is trying to shape.
Compared with the previous two generations, the melancholy painting style has changed, and the game is a microcosm of harmonious "American society" everywhere, the people live in the dream compiled and created by the government, and the utopia is happy everywhere.
The details of the game are very well depicted, patriotic posters with strange styles are posted everywhere, and the living goods and various decorative devices in the house seem to have a strange feeling.
In terms of graphics, the developers made a new renderer based on Deferred Lighting, and developed a dedicated per-pixel dynamic lighting mechanism to allow the game's characters and dynamic objects to get global light.
This makes the overall lighting effect of the game very impressive. The beauty of the sky city under the sun is small to the hero's release of skills, and the excellent light source improves the overall level of the game. For the sky city of Colombia, the ground under the player's feet is constantly moving, which brings new gameplay to the game, but also brings difficulty to the game engine production.
Irrational Games created a new technology called "Floating Worlds" for this purpose, with the aim of creating a fully mobile gaming scene. There is a lot of interaction in the game, and of course, like the series, the game also incorporates superpowers into this setting to explore the conflicts involved.
As an important character who has always been with the protagonist, in order to create a real Elizabeth, the production team introduced a new AI artificial intelligence system for the UE3 engine, which has been improved in efficiency and self-customized AI character behavior.
In order to make the AI characters' action expressions more Natural, the game's Motion simulation system has also been improved based on Natural Motion's Morpheme technology. So in the game we will see whether it is a large number of characters or certain characters, these people are not ordinary programming code but have intelligent AI, they will react to the player's actions, such as when you approach a couple of people who are talking, they will stop talking and look at you.
They won't pick up the conversation until you're gone. For Elizabeth, she is no longer a vase image that players keep protecting, she is kind and innocent, has her own joys and sorrows, and will not drag players down when fighting, but will give you a lot of aid. Do you smile when you see Elizabeth dancing with the crowd like a bird out of a cage?
Summary: The game team worked hard to create an extremely beautiful sky city for us, with almost perfect background and AI design.
3. Game music/sound effects -- 10 points
The music section is the soul of the whole game, at that time, Sky City is dominated by the extremely prevalent American supremacy, and the tour guide's strong patriotic music is played everywhere in the city. Although light sunshine, but listen to a lot of it will have a feeling of chill down the spine. Through the music, the effect is faintly created that the sky city is the center of world civilization.
In terms of sound effects, the WWise technology based on AudioKinetic is used to provide a new dynamic mixing system, so that the ubiquitous wind in the sky City, the sound of the crowd talking, the noise of the noise, the sound of the fire during the battle and the sound of the skill burst also have dynamic effects.
Summary: Two words, perfect
4. Game operation -- 9 points
The hero holds a gun in his right hand and releases skills with his left hand, and since the gamepad can only choose two skills, the console version has a slight difficulty in switching skills in combat. The fighting style of the game is bloody and violent, while the player will also "jump up and down" in the game, and fly a variety of ropes, so although the game is an RPG, the actual combat effect is smooth and refreshing.
Summary: There is no obscure sense of operation, and the fighting process is refreshing.
5. Game Style and system -- 9 points
There are a lot of collecting elements and mini-games in the game (it is recommended that players dig through garbage cans on the street). Hot dogs for blood, soda for salt.
Completing the game on any difficulty unlocks the 1999 mode, which doubles the difficulty, plummets the amount of money you can spend in the game (so when you get killed you have to play again to increase the money), slows down the reload time of shields, and increases enemy damage.
Oh, and the navigation arrows have also been removed - during normal play, the navigation arrows will leave your screen unless you take the faucet indicator out for a few seconds to get your bearings. There are a variety of combat skills, players can gain a corresponding ability boost by knocking down enemies with different attributes, and different abilities can be used in combination to achieve the best effect.
Summary: The interactive effect in the game is very good, and it is also a fun game to have a dialogue with passers-by to understand the deeper content of the game.
