The 4th anniversary of the release of Wizard 3: wild hunt, where is this national treasure RPG game?

Hello, little friends, this is the game daily, Shanquanjun, talking nonsense about games. Sweep all major game awards; After more than a year of sales, sales will easily exceed 10 million; Bring billions of income to the company; One of the games with the highest praise rate on Steam; Hollywood adapted TV series in a big way; Even known as a national treasure game, these seemingly shocking and gimmicky achievements all come from an RPG game called Wizard 3: wild hunt (Wizard 3: wild hunt).

May 20th is not only Valentine's Day, but also the 4th anniversary of the release of Wizard 3: wild hunt, the best RPG game of this generation. Today, Shanquanjun will give you a detailed explanation. The game "Wizard 3", which is known as Poland's national treasure and the strongest RPG, is where the cattle people are.

Polish donkey: red CD project

Before blowing the game, Shanquanjun will briefly talk about CD Projekt, the developer of the wizard series. The predecessor of this game company is from Poland, which is very interesting. Before the Millennium, they were just a publisher selling game CDs and a team (translator) doing game localization. Podgate and Warcraft 2 are their businesses, which is why the word "CD" appears in the company name.

After thousands of years, CD Projekt gradually has the capital and ambition to play games, so in 2002, CD Projekt set up its first game development team-CD Projekt Red. The first project is to be adapted from the novel Devil Hunter by Polish writer Angie Sapkov. After several years of polishing, in 2007, the first wizard series finally came out, and the images of Geralt, Ye Naifa and the magical continent instantly fascinated countless players.

Then at 20 1 1, CD Projekt RED produced and released the second series with its own new engine. As the final chapter of Geralt's adventure, Witch 3 won unprecedented praise from the industry and players after it was listed on 20 15, and became a golden signboard of the company. In addition to the success of the game, CD Projekt RED has also made great efforts in its operation. The two large-scale DLC followed by Wizard 3 are given to players for free. This "stupid" practice of conscience game not making money also makes players nickname CD Projekt RED "Polish donkey".

After explaining the Polish donkey and past lives of the wizard series, Shanquanjun began to get down to business and talk about the unique charm of the wizard 3 game.

A truly open world

Nowadays, many games like to use the banner of opening the world, but in Shanquanjun's view, as long as the map is big enough and there are enough tasks, these crooked melons will understand the open world. However, Wizard 3 has a good understanding of the open world. They know that openness is very important (Wizard 3 is really open and funny), but only real details can give this open world more vitality and players will have a stronger sense of substitution.

When the player leaves the horse, the horse will find food and drink water by himself; Geralt doesn't shave, and his hair will grow longer with the competition time; NPC will have a stress reaction when the weather changes, for example, businessmen don't come out to set up stalls in rainy days; If the ship is injured, it will sink in severe cases; There will be a delicate balance in the ecosystem. If there are more wolves in an area, there will be fewer deer ... It is with these unexpected details that the open world of Wizard 3 is sublimated into a real dynamic world, which, together with exquisite pictures, is a kind of sensory enjoyment.

Excellent and solid plot

In fact, for Shanquanjun, the gameplay, action scenes and operation feel of the whole series of "Wizard" are not very good, but the highest is the Kunte brand derived from it. However, as an RPG game, the wizard series can be said to have no rivals in the plot. As mentioned earlier in the article, the wizard series was adapted from the Polish national treasure novel Devil Hunter, which ensured the solidity of the game plot on the basis, and the adaptation of donkey was not disappointing.

In the game, the player plays a demon hunter named Geralt, who hunts all kinds of monsters in the magical land overhead and shelters villages and towns, in which colorful stories about life experience, love and power are staged. Thanks to the dynamic world just mentioned, no matter the main plot, side tasks and key NPCs, its characteristics are vividly highlighted (no urine spots in the whole process). Combining the plot with the open world so well, even R-star games are hard to beat.

Wizard 3 doesn't have much unique place. The dynamic world and excellent plot are two points that Shanquanjun wants to go to most, but these two points are the most difficult places to control in RPG game development. RPG games pay attention to "role-playing". It is true to play with a sense of substitution, but the donkey takes advantage of these two advantages and gives the player an immersive experience, which is the most valuable place. As for the picture, soundtrack or gameplay, it is nothing more than icing on the cake.

Unconsciously, Wizard 3 has been on sale for four years, and the whole series has finished the zodiac wheel. I wonder what weight this series of RPG games has in your mind?
