Chapter 983 - The Confusing Version Of The Fantasy Battle Remake

Chapter 983: The Confusing Version Of The Fantasy Battle Remake

Buy, pay, download.

There were two prices for the Fantasy Battle Remake. The normal version was 168 yuan while the luxurious version was 258 yuan.

A veteran gamer like Qiao Liang, naturally had to purchase a luxurious version.

Qiao Liang felt a little pained, but he felt that the money was worth it.

True hardcore gamers could tolerate the expensive game as long as it was worth the price.

After opening the download, Qiao Liang looked at the game’s capacity and download time.

“30+Gigabytes, much smaller than Mission and Choice?”

“Er, but ‘Mission and Choice’ forcefully stuffed a blue ray film inside. It might take up more space.”

What Qiao Liang did not know was that the initial installation bag of Mission and Choice did not contain all the blu ray movie, just the initial few parts.

If Qiao Liang checked the volume of Mission and Choice’s folder now, he would realize that the game had actually exceeded 100 Gigabytes.

On the other hand, Fantasy Battle Remake’s 30+ Gigabytes included the original client content.

Actually, he could already sense some signs in advance from these details. However, the image of ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ in Qiao Liang’s mind was too beautiful. Thus, he naturally ignored these ‘small problems’.

He still had to wait even though the internet speed was very fast.

Qiao Liang opened Mission and Choice once again. He waited for the download of Fantasy Battle Remake to be completed as he played.

Qiao Liang realized that the other gameplay had been released after entering Mission and Choice once again.

When players first started playing Mission and Choice, there would not be a title scene. Once they entered, it would be the game plot. If they exited the game in the middle, they would continue the plot from the save point the next time they entered.

It was not until the first time he cleared the entire plot and entered it again that the title picture would appear.

There were several different options in the title image. They were [Story Mode], [Eternal War], [Internet Battle], [Creation Mode], [Choice] and [Exit Game].

The story mode was to experience the plot again. However, this time, he could skip to a specific stage.

The Eternal War was obviously a gameplay similar to the Endless Mode. In this gameplay, they would still fight against the Zergs controlled by AI, but the difficulty would gradually increase.

The online battle allowed players to fight against players and AIs. They could freely choose the number of players, the size of the map, and the difficulty of AI. The degree of freedom was very high.

Considering that there was no balance between humans and Zergs in Mission and Choice, this online battle mode could only be considered a relatively relaxed entertainment model.

What attracted Qiao Liang the most was obviously the [Creation Mode].

Previously, “Fantasy Battle” had released an editor with the game, producing a large number of classic RPG maps. “Gods Rising” was also born from it.

On the other hand, the Creation Mode of Mission and Choice was equivalent to the official version of the game editor. It simplified the usage of the editor and added many modular operating methods. Ordinary players would be able to create their own map after a little exploration.

Of course, if he wanted to create more complicated content, he still had to learn and research.

On the other hand, there was a pop-up notification when he entered the creation mode for the first time. The general idea was that Tengda Games would own the basic content copyrights such as art materials in the creation mode. On the other hand, players would own the game’s original content copyrights such as the map mechanism and gameplay.

If players discovered that the map they created had been infringed on, they could contact Tengda to maintain their rights. Tengda would help to deal with these infringements and protect the players’ legal rights.

Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional when he saw this. Tengda was still so kind!

If players used the original gameplay content of the game editor, the copyright would definitely belong to the players themselves. There was no doubt about that.

However, Tengda could add an extra sentence that if the author’s right was infringed, they could help defend his rights. This is still very heartwarming and reflects a kind of care for the players.

Qiao Liang took a quick look at all of these modes and did not delve deeper into them. After all, these modes were not much different from the battle content of the story mode and Qiao Liang’s mind was filled with ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’.

It would not be too late to slowly experience these modes when there was time later.

Of course, Qiao Liang was most optimistic about the creation model of Mission and Choice. After some time, many interesting RPG maps would probably appear.

However, Fantasy Battle Remake would definitely redo the game editor this time. It would be hard to say which one player would choose in the end.

Qiao Liang took a spin in Mission and Choice and briefly experienced the other gameplay. Then, he could not wait to leave.

That was because he realized that he had already downloaded the game.

“Alright, alright. Get your emotions in order. Don’t think about Mission and Choice when you’re seriously playing ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’. It makes me look like a scumbag.”

As a core player, Qiao Liang was very sincere when playing such games. When he clicked on the game icon, Qiao Liang felt his hands trembling slightly.

He even felt like he was reuniting with a goddess he had not seen for many years.

However, Qiao Liang was stunned when he saw the game.

“This image...”

“Ugh...”

Qiao Liang was speechless.

It was indeed a remake version. The quality of the entire drawing was much better than the original game. However, it did not make Qiao Liang’s eyes light up. Instead, it made him feel disappointed.

That was because this title page only slightly updated the original art resources. One could see the difference in the details, but the entire layout was still the same!

If this UI layout had been set ten years ago, it would have been quite advanced. However, after so many years of development, the overall UI layout had become better and better. Compared to the game graphics of this era, this UI layout was a little too outdated.

“Perhaps they want to restore the original taste as much as possible. What’s important is not the external packaging, but the actual content.”

Qiao Liang quickly found a reason to comfort himself. He clicked the [Battle Campaign] button and prepared to experience the game’s plot.

Even though ‘Fantasy Battle’ was an extremely competitive RTS game, only the top few players could understand its competitiveness. Qiao Liang was not a core player of RTS games. To him, the plot was the essence of the game.

That was because according to the official news, the CG and model of this game had been remodeled. Qiao Liang thought that even if this CG could not reach the standard of Fantasy World, it had to be at the level of Starcraft, right?

In any case, such top CGs could be enjoyed.

In the dim sky, on the vast land, the reddish-brown surface was filled with weeds. The camera zoomed in, and a deep female voice began to recite the voice-over.

“The sound of war was still echoing in the wind, but the afterimages of the old days have quietly arrived...”

Qiao Liang’s expression quickly changed from anticipation to confusion and confusion.

“Is that all?”

“This precision... are you sure it’s a remake?”

Qiao Liang even began to doubt his own eyes and memories.

He no longer had any impression of the original version of Fantasy Battle’s CG. The feeling that this current CG gave him was that it did not seem to have changed much, just a little.

It seemed like he had only improved the quality and resolution of the old CG?

This CG did not have that kind of mosaic feeling. It looked very clear. However, the problem was that the details of the patterns in CG were a mess. The weeds on the ground looked unreal. Even the shape of the soldier inside did not change!

It was very modern.

“That shouldn’t be the case. I know that CG is expensive, but can they at least make it better?”

“Alright, they might have spent the money on the more important CGs at the back. After all, the plot of this game is too long and there are too many CGs. It might not be able to handle all of them. It’s understandable to redo them in batches.”

Qiao Liang could only comfort himself in this way.

He clearly remembered that the last part of the plot of Fantasy Battle was especially exciting. The direct confrontation between the two popular characters only needed the CG to be redone. It would not be a big deal if the trashy plot CG that these small fries were fighting previously was not redone.

After the CG, the Battle Campaign Log began.

Qiao Liang frowned again.

“This interface... is really remade? I can’t tell the difference!”

“No, the progress bar seems to be even worse than before.”

“Why isn’t the word ‘loading’ in the progress bar in the middle yet? A little to the left? Is he trying to drive OCD to death? Even interns can’t make such a mistake when they do PowerPoint, right?”

“Something’s not right. Is this the official version? Are you sure it’s not a semi-finished product?”

Qiao Liang had already sunk into deep self-doubt before he even saw the official game graphics.

Was there something wrong with the purchase button?

Finally, after some time, he entered the game.

However, after seeing the real game, Qiao Liang’s psychological defense collapsed completely.

“Deceit, this is definitely fraud!”

“This is the same f*cking game as the trailer?!”

The official game graphics had indeed changed a little compared to the original version, but it was still the same as CG and the title graphics. The quality of the graphics had indeed improved, but the art resources did not seem to have changed at all!

The actual game graphics in particular stunned Qiao Liang.

That was because the official platform had released a trailer when they were preheating Fantasy Battle Remake. It was a classic battle plot in Fantasy Battle Remake.

In that trailer, all the characters’ modeling and setting details were so detailed that they were on the level of Fantasy World’s online game. In fact, one could even see the hair of the characters, the pores on their faces, and the shape of their mouths matched the lines perfectly.

There was still a clear gap between the current plot and the AAA games. Nonetheless, it could already be regarded as a hero as an RTS game.

However, Qiao Liang now realized that there was nothing from the trailer!

If the original game graphics was 1, and the game graphics in the trailer was 10, then the current game graphics was at most 2.

It did not seem wrong to say that this was a remake. The quality of the graphics had improved, but it was completely different from what gamers had imagined!
