Other information about dead island.

Although the theme of "dead island" seems to be a very common zombie game, its CG has been hotly debated by players recently. Flashback technique, thrilling picture with melancholy and slow music. What impressed me the most was the way my father looked at his daughter for a few seconds, which was full of fatherly love and deeply touched the players. Even Hideo Kojima, a famous Japanese game producer, was shocked by the trailer. Now Hollywood also plans to adapt it into a movie.

In addition, the trailer is also very popular in Chinese mainland, which makes the attention of the game suddenly rise. According to the statistics of Baidu's search times, the attention of dead island in two days (58 15) has actually surpassed several major games that have been listed recently and will be listed soon. Perhaps from this incident, many game manufacturers have realized how important it is to make an absolutely standard trailer, and the active publicity effect it brings is unpredictable.

The trailer of the most hotly discussed game "dead island" has been included in Hollywood's shooting plan based on the movie version of the game. Hollywood news station The Wrap recently reported that producer sean daniel and United Entertainment have obtained the film adaptation rights for this game, which was released in 2007.

Daniel, Richard Liebowitz, president of United Entertainment, and Dmitry Johnson, producer, have been paying attention to game development for several years. In 2009, they obtained the right to film adaptation. Daniel (Werewolf, Mummy 3) and United Entertainment (Extreme Agent) are currently looking for suitable scripts.

According to the statistics of game publisher Deep Silver, dead island shipped more than 6,543,800 sets in the first week of listing in North America, ranking first in many countries and regions (including Britain, France and Steam online stores). Publishers predict that the global sales of dead island will exceed 2 million sets in two weeks, and its crucial first week sales are amazing. We are working closely with Scowell, an agent in North America, to organize the supply of goods to supplement all channels as soon as possible, said Geoff Mulligan, chief operator of Deep Silver.

Because the work was released with illness, its developer Techland is currently busy correcting the BUG problems exposed by the work on various platforms. Shenyin believes that they may need to postpone the follow-up update scheduled to go online later this month to gain more pest control time, which involves at least two DLC, including the bloody arena confirmed earlier. At this moment, Techland's first task is to correct the defects of each platform version at the request of our loyal players. The game has excellent follow-up updates, but our attention should first be placed on the most basic game experience.

Two weeks after listing, dead island still shows great vitality. After topping the UK Game Software Weekly Sales List in the first week, it won the championship again in the second week. In the past two weeks, dead island has sold more games than all the games released by game publisher Deep Silver combined. However, from the third week, masterpieces such as "gears of war 3" will strike hard, and dead island will face great challenges. Perhaps this will be the last time that dead island won the weekly sales champion. Publisher Deep Silver claims that its zombie masterpiece dead island has sold more than 3 million copies according to official statistics. Dead island's initial sales were amazing, and the sales in the following months were also excellent. Since the first official statement, its sales volume has undoubtedly exceeded one million sets. The game started in the middle of the zombie outbreak, and the player's role is gradually regaining consciousness. There are four roles: Xian Mei (former hotel receptionist), Logan (surfer), Sam B (former rapper) and Poorna. Because four people were not infected after being attacked by zombies, they became the saviors of other survivors in the game.

Although each character's skills are unique, they all start from the same place. At the beginning of the game, the hotel where the player is located is being attacked by a large group of zombies. The player was beaten unconscious, and finally someone dragged you to the billiards room, an isolated island refuge.

One of the first tasks is to find Sinamoi (the lifeguard in the hotel), who is gathering all the survivors to a safe place. But to accomplish this task, you need to go out from a safe place (billiards room) and cross the beach full of zombies.

Melee is the focus of the game, and there are few real guns nearby. One of the firearms is a police officer's pistol. All melee weapons found by players contain different attack values, speed values and repair values.

Players can repair damaged weapons in scattered workshops in the game, and also find some props, such as batteries, tapes, wires and so on. , to upgrade weapons. The game contains the closing skills of QTE. Players' tasks also include finding as many survivors as possible and taking them to a safe place, a lighthouse in the game.

The game contains different types of zombies, some fast, some slow, and "self-explosive" zombies, which will also affect the surrounding zombies. Including Boss-level zombies.

The player's role also includes endurance value and the number of times to use weapons at any time. The game contains kicking action, which can be used to fight zombie tide.

Each character contains a unique number of skills, such as Sam B. The number of skills includes rage, fighting and survival. The game contains special actions, Sam B's "violent" mode, the opening picture will turn red, releasing violent attacks. After the player rescues some survivors and destroys some zombies, some locations will start new exploration missions. In addition, the game will also include cooperation modes that can be added dynamically.

A trailer makes a game famous, and dead island is the first precedent. Although the trailer is wonderful, so far the official has not released the actual game video, and players can't see the dynamic actual scene. Recently, however, PCGAMER has brought a detailed preview of dead island, so that we can know the game more carefully.

Speaking of Poland, you may think of many things. In World War II, Xiong and the famous Polish vodka factory, and danny boyle's "28 Days of Surprise". Speaking of games, there is Techland in Poland, and their cowboy theme work "Wild West" series is very popular with players. Now, they are about to launch the zombie-themed open-world game dead island. The competition will be held in Banoy, a small island in Papua New Guinea.

As can be seen from the trailer, a family vacationing on a tropical island suddenly fell into the encirclement of zombies. One minute, they were wearing shorts, holding umbrellas and drinking cocktails, having a good time. The next minute, they will pick up a big axe and cut at the zombies coming at them.

As the saying goes, "drinking cocktails and singing, suddenly being robbed by zombies!" Players will play one of four roles in the game. Each of them has his own strengths and weaknesses. Speed, physical strength and the use of weapons also have their own characteristics. Among the optional roles is Sam B, a former hiphop singer who wears a headband and likes to use close-range weapons. The remaining roles include Logan with a Mohist dry hairstyle, sexy and agile Asian restaurant waitress Xianmei and a bodyguard. Several of them are incredibly immune to viruses on the island of death, but they can't escape the fate of being bitten by zombies. No matter which character you choose, the RPG growth system in the game will allow players to formulate the protagonist's "violence demand" according to their own preferences.

Four main characters? This obviously means that four players, just like the road to survival, are playing cooperative games. However, this idea is not copied. Dead island conceived it a few years ago, when there was no popular cooperative game mode, which led to their "slow start".

"It's a dangerous combination," said Blaze Krakowiak, product public relations manager at Techland. Because we are playing an open world game, it is very challenging to achieve balance. Coupled with the four-person cooperation model, it is even harder to do well. "

Things are really hard. Different from the closed warehouse scene and the farmland in the fence in The Road to Survival, the scene of Banoy Island in dead island is huge and full of various main tasks and sub-tasks. Fortunately, there was a correct example before, that is, no man's land. The tasks before the game include finding safety and protecting survivors, and the tasks after that will require you to explore what happened on the whole island and enter new areas. The game starts from a hotel, but then players will need to explore the vast jungle area and even the whole town. In this process, we will encounter not only zombies, but also some survivors, and even robbers who want to make a fortune and occupy the police station. Techland staff said that the plot in the game is mainly at the beginning of chaos, and people are still expecting the government to dispatch troops to rescue them and settle the zombies here, so the law and order here basically still exists. In particular, money is still useful, so it is still possible for players to buy new weapons and equipment while exploring.

Why is it possible? Because the island of Banoy in the game is a resort, not a demilitarized zone, it is difficult to find weapons. So don't expect to buy piles of AK47 in places where souvenirs, postcards and shells are sold. Only a strange homemade pistol can be found on the ground, and the ammunition is very limited. So it's best to find some boards, baseball bats, paddles and machetes, which can destroy them to the maximum extent. The real situation in the game is that these weapons have a service life. Players can't kill hundreds of zombies with a baseball bat, and the bat will break ... But these weapons can be modified on a manual table to add special functions. Of course, the transformation should also proceed from reality. Players can't turn chainsaws into surfboards. The transformation function in the game is more like an enhanced system in World of Warcraft, such as charging a hammer or broadsword.

The effect of machete in the game is really shocking. It can not only cut off the arms and legs of zombies, but also emit wonderful knife light. Clara Kojak said, "Some props in the game are relatively simple, such as nails. Some are more complicated, such as more powerful weapons. Players can't combine some strange parts like Tomb Raider Defense. What players need to do is to make these weapons more lethal. "

Techland really cares about the comparison with Capcom's grave defense series. Krakowiak said: "Just like the weapon system in the game, our whole game is different from the tomb raiding defense series, and we can't always compare it just because there are zombie elements. Dead island pays more attention to the characters that players are using and the overall plot of the game, which is very deep. And "Tomb Raider Defense" is more like a game of cutting melons and vegetables, which is no different from toys. "

In fact, the whole production of dead island is very serious and rigorous. Adrian Ciszewski, the producer of this game, said, "We want to make it deeper, not just a pure entertainment game like grave defense. The game story is not as tacky as what crazy doctors do crazy experiments and produce a bunch of crazy zombies. " In order to get the most realistic effect, the producer asked the staff to collect their personal demonstrations of falling on the motion catcher, and even accidentally broke their legs.

One difference between dead island and the tomb defense is the design of its enemies. Although the zombies inside are just walking dead, some of them are wearing bikinis and some are wearing sports shorts, although it looks strange ... With the improvement of players' level, these zombies will become stronger and stronger, and even form teams instead of running around. Sometimes players will meet very agile enemies, such as robbers and robbers. At this time, we need to use some methods to distract the enemy and pass the customs smoothly.

Ordinary zombies have nothing to say at the beginning of the game, but the zombies they meet later will become more and more cunning and difficult to deal with. For example, if you hit a zombie, they will wear Hannibal mask and tights on their faces. They will rush to the players like angry birds. Their weaknesses are behind their backs, and they need the players to attack behind their backs to effectively kill them. There are also drowning zombies, who have obviously spent too long in the swimming pool, dripping water all over their bodies, their skin is swollen, and they can even see the internal organs under their skin.

People who love cleanliness must not get too close to self-destructive zombies. They are covered in injuries, and their whole bodies bounce back with their heartbeats, and they are still asking for the help of the players. If you get too close, it will explode, and the player will probably be lucky enough to take a "pus water bath" with pus in his body, which is really disgusting. The scariest thing is the butcher zombies, who wear tattered work clothes and have distorted faces. They will stab and cut off the enemy with exposed arm bones. The enemy is terrible, but the protagonist will also be in a state of killing eyes.

When it comes to the source of inspiration for zombies, the producers listed a lot. From the zombie series of george romero, the father of zombie movies, to The Walking Dead, and then to 28 Days of Surprise, these works have inspired the producers in various ways. Since then, they have also understood why people enjoy torturing zombies so much.

Krakowiak said: "On the one hand, zombies have a lot to do with human beings. In fact, some of them are human beings, not aliens or killing plants that have nothing to do with humans. On the other hand, I won't say much about the mapping between zombies and human secular life. This is a topic that everyone will discuss after drinking too much. In general, zombies are the enemy of mankind, and killing zombies will not produce any remorse. "

"Before we really play this game, especially its four-person cooperation mode, it is difficult for us to ensure that dead island can meet the requirements of all players. However, according to the current disclosure, it is still worth looking forward to. Dead island was published as early as 2007, and even once forgotten by the world. Whether it is successful or not, the enthusiasm of Techland staff for zombies is admirable. As Krakowiak said: "We are not shooting a zombie series, we are just following our own feelings and inheriting and developing the existing zombie theme. "Island of Death, a zombie-themed horror game of Techland, was first released in 2007, and the latest news was released in 2008. After three years of dormancy, this PS3, X360, PC multi-platform game returned to the spotlight at 20 1 1. What is even more surprising is that the production company showed the players a shocking trailer different from the past. It is no exaggeration to say that this is by far the most shocking zombie game trailer. This movie, made entirely by CG, shows the whole process of a little girl's warm festival turning into a terrorist disaster in the form of flashback playback.

The story in the promo shows a short clip of a husband and wife of a family of three fighting zombies to save their daughter at a resort on an island in Papua New Guinea. The story unfolds in the sad tone of flashback (rewinding) under the piano strings, interspersed with many positive narrative moments, until the final flashback shows the intersection of performance effect and emotion, unique lens and touching plot, which perfectly interprets this sad story in a short time.

The production team used slow motion, flashback playback, piano strings and other elements to poeticize the bloody scenes in the clips and soften the horror scenes, giving people room for thinking and a long aftertaste. The artistic attainments of this trailer are amazing, and it is no exaggeration to say that it can be used as a short film. Perhaps "dead island" can make the players who are used to playing such exaggerated, scary and nervous zombie games as "Resident Evil" shine at the moment, giving people a refreshing feeling.

In fact, in the past, similar works often deliberately avoided depicting children in order to avoid unnecessary controversy. Dead island, however, did the opposite. So, there is such a heartbreaking movie. If Techland can render the same effect in the actual game, then this game will undoubtedly bring some unprecedented surprises to players. Dead island has been favored by many players since its listing, and some players have rearranged the data in the game, thus making various MODS.

0 1) MOD of the living dead:

After installing this MOD, players will encounter a large number of living dead near specific plot points.

02) Infection mode:

This MOD will turn all zombies in the game into "infected people". "Infected" is the primary stage of human zombies. Its running speed is much faster than that of ordinary zombies, and its attack power is amazing.

03) darts king MOD:

This MOD can turn the first skill of all characters into boomerang skill.

04) electric fire boxing mode:

After installation, the fist of the character can have special properties that only weapons such as electricity and fire have.

05) Violent zombie mode:

Increasing the number of zombie refresh points per round 100 (divided into several batches) also greatly improves the aggression of zombies (ultra-long pursuit), and it is not a loss to add fire palms after death.

06) Beidou Shenquan MOD:

This MOD improves the attack speed and strength of the character's fists and feet, and can kill zombies with one punch and kick them away with one foot. Because the gravity data in the game has also been changed, attacking zombies with fists and feet will produce special effects such as floating.

07) bloody mode:

Increased blood loss when chopping zombies.

08) Mini Zombie Mode:

This MOD turns all zombies into villains with big hands, giving players a special experience of traveling in Lilliput. However, when the zombie pesters the player, the body will return to its original size.
