Sin Mal ran to Akihabara, but Bronie still wanted to watch the live broadcast.
This time, Bronie made a bold change to Red Dead Redemption, and as soon as the trailer was released, some people started to compare it with Horse Racing.
Well, fortunately, Bronie got a shot in advance.
Horse Racing and Red Dead Redemption are not essentially the same story, and even the overall tone of the story is different.
But different characters interpret different stories, and through different carriers, it brings different feelings to people. Welt was still very much looking forward to this game.
"It can be seen from the size of the game that what's presented to us this time is less of a story and more of a world, just like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk. I think she should show us a legendary figure from that period of history. I'm very curious about how the Rabbit is going to do it."
Welt still loved history very much.
Elden Ring is an imaginary history, and the whole world is constructed grandly enough through fragmented narratives.
Cyberpunk 2077 has a sense of magical realism, but it is still a science fiction game set in the future.
To be honest, even if the capital expands to an outrageous level, Welt does not think that Night City will come to life in this world.
And this time, Bronie finally started to work with real history!
Even if this is the United States, which has a relatively weak historical foundation, Welt is still very interested.
That period of transition between barbarism and civilization, how people adapt to the changing trends of the times—just thinking about it, Welt was excited.
As usual, Welt went through the back door to ask Bronie for the anchor special edition and, naturally, wanted to play the game in advance.
[I'm afraid there's a bit too much content in the game this time. Is Haxxor forcing us to upgrade our computer configuration?]
[Good guy, the icon alone has a Wild Western style.]
"There's no doubt that Haxxor has used a new lighting and shadow system this time. It's said that it also has ray tracing, with each point having light source detection. Although we don't know what the specific technology is, Haxxor seems to be making some new breakthroughs this time."
Welt opened the game and then found that there were story and online modes.
"Haxxor said before that the online mode is similar to Cyberpunk. You can carry out team tasks and create your own forces. However, there seem to be other new functions in it. I hope this time Haxxor can bring us some more interesting surprises. But right now, our goal is to complete the story mode!"
After taking a look at the comment section, everyone was indeed very interested in the content of the game.
Nowadays, new games are released every day on the internet, but many masterpieces, when you play the games you bought after pre-ordering, give you a feeling of being unfinished. Maybe there will be many patches later, but it also gives people a sense of insincerity. So, everyone began to keep an eye on it and watch the streamers play. If it looks good, they will choose to buy it.
Of course, the quality of Haxxor's games is definitely beyond doubt, but it may not be liked by everyone.
"It seems that there's a deep mountain and heavy snow when we start, and this time it seems to be a bit earlier than the timeline of Steel Ball Run. And with this wind and snow, this light, and the traces on the ground... It seems that Haxxor's game-making technology has made another breakthrough?"
[What black technology is Haxxor using?]
[Don't forget, games are life, technology is just work, Haxxor is a genius!]
[How can this be a technological breakthrough? This is the lifting of the ban on black technology!]
"Ahem, don't think too highly of Haxxor Bunny. If she's under too much psychological pressure, maybe one day she'll feel she can no longer break through the upper limit of the game and decide to give up making games, just like Steel Ball Run."
Welt also thinks that Steel Ball Run is truly a classic—whether it's the battle of wits in the process, the growth of the protagonist along the way, or the intentions behind the entire story.
No wonder Bronie hesitated to link it with Red Dead Redemption.
Just from Bronie's attitude, her evaluation of the two works says everything.
When Welt said this, the audience immediately went quiet. After all, the games made by Bronie have accompanied a generation of youth and have indeed influenced many people.
Some people even argue about which game is the pinnacle of Haxxor Bunny's career and fight over it.
After all, even the pixel game Undertale is so impressive and unforgettable.
Each game has its own advantages, which has caused many problems for the judges who select and award games.
After all, Bronie doesn't just make one game every year—there will be at least two 3A-level masterpieces.
"Let's take a look at the plot first. This kind of picture with enlarged black borders feels like watching a movie. It seems that this time, the narrative of Haxxor Bunny is not the first-person immersion of Cyberpunk 2077, but rather aims to bring players a movie-like experience."
The picture is full of white snow, and the whole convoy is struggling to move forward in the wind and snow.
In addition to the white snow, the dark sky has a trace of kerosene lamp light guiding the way ahead. Even the horses and everyone's faces are covered with a thick layer of ice and snow.
The entire blizzard is going to swallow them completely.
There are old people, children, women, and wounded people in the convoy.
As they cross the blizzard, the team finally finds an abandoned village, and everyone chooses to temporarily avoid the terrible snowstorm there.
However, the blizzard isn't just bad—at least it helps them escape the police's pursuit.
Unfortunately, when everyone arrives in the abandoned village and settles down, some people can no longer hold on and close their eyes forever.
There's no time to be sad.
Dutch, the leader of the entire gang, begins to command everyone to work and transform this place into a relatively safe temporary base.
"Family—this is also the origin of many gangs. The entire big family has to do these things in order to survive. Dutch, as the backbone of the entire family, seems very experienced in these matters. It seems that our protagonist this time is a loyal helper named Arthur, who serves under Dutch."
After arranging everyone's work, Dutch also takes Arthur out to explore the nearby environment and look for lost gang members.
At this time, Welt finally got the authority to control the protagonist, Arthur.
"Wow, the transition of this picture is so smooth. It seems that the plot is calculated in real-time like Cyberpunk 2077, and this picture has been upgraded. The horse's footprints on the snow are so real..."
Welt never thought that the game could achieve such movie-like picture quality.
Full of details, and no lag, even the transition between the plot and the game is so smooth.
During the teaching process, Arthur and Dutch's dialogue will also carry many main plots.
Including what they did before, why they were so fiercely hunted, or why someone fell behind.
"Although we are not familiar with each character, we can understand the relationship between the characters through dialogue. For example, Dutch seems to trust our protagonist Arthur very much. It can be seen that Arthur should be the most powerful gunman around Dutch and the backbone of the entire gang."
[The most powerful? Are you the famous V?]
[Okay, this family can't survive without Arthur, right!]
[This picture is a bit real, so the story of the wild horse racing also happened in this background?]
"Yes, the story of the wild horse racing also has a lot of details about that time, and in Red Dead Redemption, we can also experience that kind of life by riding horses in person. According to what the rabbit said, there seems to be a horse racing competition here."
Arthur met up with the teammate who went to explore the road ahead. The teammate who went to explore the road ahead said that there seemed to be a village ahead.
Although the players were told at the beginning that the gang Arthur belonged to was a desperate gang and that they had done all kinds of things such as burning, killing, and looting, Dutch's gang still had a certain bottom line.
So when they went to that village, they still tried their best not to cause panic among the people there but just wanted to seek some help from the residents in that village, even if it was in exchange for a little money or something else.
"It can be seen that in this world where guns may be taken out at any time, Dutch and Arthur's group still seem to be very principled. I hope they can keep this principle forever."
[Damn, straight with an opening like this, right?]
[Prophet? The Werewolf comes straight to the knife! There really is a prophet here!]
A principled robber—this sounds really romantic, but according to Bronie's previous habits, Welt's speculation seems to be true.
After all, it can be seen that Dutch is very polite to this stranger, and he is also worried that he will scare the other party because he looks a bit fierce.
However, even if this family encounters a principled robber like Arthur, they are not so lucky.
Because a gang hostile to Dutch has already taken the lead, and they will not be as polite as Dutch and Arthur.
The man was killed, the money was taken away, and only one woman was left, who experienced very bad violence.
If it weren't for Arthur's partner, Micah, who discovered the bodies around the house in advance, I'm afraid Arthur would not have realized that these people were robbers.
By combining the plot with the novice tutorial, under the control of Welt, Arthur and Dutch eliminated all the robbers logically, leaving one alive and learning the true identity of the other party through torture.
These robbers, without bottom lines and principles, are the subordinates of a gang that is the enemy of the gang controlled by Dutch.
After meeting such a guy, Dutch was obviously very excited. After all, there are not many opportunities for revenge. Dutch is willing to seize every opportunity to attack the enemy gang and eliminate the people of the enemy gang without hesitation.
Besides, the other party also has a plan to rob a train. They can completely grab this plan and make the gang's originally limited funds abundant. In this way, even if they leave the snow mountain, they will have the capital to develop.
The Dutch gang has a lot of people, so the daily consumption is not small, whether it is food, clothing, or daily necessities.
As for the normal life of making money?
What they advocate is freedom and unfetteredness. They have always made money through robbery, and occasionally, there will be some deeds of robbing the rich to help the poor. Such a life is very beautiful and chic. Whenever something bad happens, they always miss that life.
And they keep telling themselves that such a life will come back.
After all, they have developed from nothing to such a big family now.
Arthur always believes in Dutch, and Dutch always believes in the whole gang.
It's like a huge family, each doing what they are good at, and then closely connected with each other.
"It's quite interesting. This gang feels very real, and the experience of robbing a train is probably only experienced in this game. How can a modern train be chased by a horse?"
It is obviously a prologue, and it is basically teaching content, but it is perfectly combined with the plot. The functions are unlocked step by step, but it does not bring any sense of restraint or lack of freedom to the players.
From game operation, plot selection, some special mechanisms, and eating rules, there are more functions that need to be unlocked through the main plot in the future, teaching players how to survive in such a world step by step.
"Eating, cleaning, and even hidden disease systems and horse care systems are obviously very complicated, but through the combination of game plots, players can quickly get started. There are also hunting, debt collection, card table content, and the most classic Western showdown content in the future. These are vaguely telling players... Compared with the chip learning teaching method in Cyberpunk 2077, this kind of teaching is really smooth..."
Welt had to admit that Bronie really seemed to have created a new world, and Arthur and Arthur's gang members lived on this unrestrained, free continent.
No matter what you do, you don't have to worry about being tracked down. If you meet a passerby who needs help on the roadside, you can choose to help or add insult to injury based on your own wishes.
Although there is such a thing as good and evil value, Welt actually feels that the so-called good and evil value does not have a big impact.
[By the way, have all the recipes been carefully considered?]
[What? You want to try the original Western-style salted beef offal? It sounds wrong, okay!]
[You know what, the taste is absolutely authentic! Someone will definitely try it!]
[I can already smell the beef in my mouth. Was the food in the West really that casual back then?]
"Hahaha, in that era, especially for bandits like Arthur, they had limited conditions around them and usually made meat into jerky or directly bought canned food to make stews. If the situation was urgent, they would eat canned food or jerky to temporarily relieve hunger.
Besides, this kind of makeshift food is used for emergency purposes. After all, Arthur and his gang are in a very difficult situation now!
But if I were here, the gang would definitely be revived. I just don't know if it can cope with the trend of the times, whether it is a complete transformation or being eliminated by the times..."
In fact, even if you buy Red Dead Redemption 2 for more than 200 yuan, it is definitely not a loss. Both the online mode and the story mode are worth experiencing.
Not to mention the good details in various places, the game plot also tells a very good story.
It's not bad to treat it as watching a super long movie.
