Since the release of the domestic game version in February, NetEase’s mysterious shooting game “Operation Apocalypse” has attracted the curiosity of many players.
As we all know, although NetEase also had some shooting games in the early years, it seems that except for "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Knives Out", there are not many capable works.
In recent years, the works launched by NetEase have gained momentum and have achieved considerable results in many niche tracks. The fact that "Operation Apocalypse", which has never been exposed before, is placed as the first shot of NetEase in the new year is enough to make people raise eyebrows. Is this a signal that NetEase is going to launch an attack on the shooting track? The highly anticipated new product, "Operation Apocalypse", a 5V5 multi-hero skills shooting mobile game independently developed by NetEase, finally unveiled its mystery on March 13 and officially released its first real-machine demonstration video. And opened the reservation.
In this real-machine demonstration, we can see that "Operation Apocalypse" combines classic tactical blasting, exciting shooting competition and cool and diverse hero skills. Together, the overall game becomes more competitive. The hero skills in the game can not only be used to move quickly, get close to the enemy and hit the head with one shot, but can also create water walls, sand curtains and other terrains to block the enemy, obscure the line of sight, and help the team better complete the blasting mission. "Operation Apocalypse" uses unique skill settings to give new vitality to shooting competitions, showing extremely high strategic and competitive qualities. It combines excellent fluency and a comfortable oriental aesthetic style. While hero skills provide flexible tactical options for the game, it also greatly enhances the fun and enjoyment of the game.
As soon as the first exposure video came out, this further raised the expectations of players! Next, the author will have a good chat with you about the game "Operation Apocalypse" based on the information I know so far!
"heroshooting" a new work of oriental oriental aesthetics
"Operation Apocalypse" is a first-person shooting mobile game independently developed by NetEase, based on oriental aesthetic themes and combined with diverse alien cultures. In order to create a unique story background, NetEase also spent a lot of money to design an original and imaginary world view and heroic story for "Operation Apocalypse", and integrated oriental aesthetics into the game to make the breadth of the battlefield wider. imagination space.
In fact, the "Operation Apocalypse" team has been low-key and dedicated for more than 4 years. They spent a lot of time to keep improving, polishing details, constantly improving performance and adapting to the user experience, and finally brought a complete game A highly competitive bilateral competitive FPS. , but NetEase has done a good job of keeping secrets. After the game's version number has been reviewed, the relevant information is slowly released.
The core gameplay of the game lies in the 5V5 team competition. Different from the competition rules based on the big world on the market, "Operation Apocalypse" focuses on the small battlefield with the classic blasting mode as the core, and the positioning of the heroes inside Different, I learned that there are now five hero positions: vanguard, reconnaissance, tactics, guard, and rescue. Each hero has its own set of skill systems, combined with rich and diverse tactics, and is highly coordinated with the player's marksmanship operation, making it extremely playable. .
To put it simply, if we want to win in a hero-based competitive mobile game, we don’t necessarily have to fight with the enemy to react. We can also use skills to react with teammates. For coordination, you can use a wall of water to block the enemy in a corner, and then throw a fireball into it. Anyway, this game mainly focuses on one "routine".
Super adaptability and ultra-low entry threshold
Judging from the demonstration video, many people will worry that this is both building a wall and throwing fireballs. It also has many cool skills and special effects. If the hardware configuration cannot keep up, will this game become stuck in PPT every minute? ?Some people are also worried that the game will sacrifice image quality for the smoothness of the game?
In fact, you don’t have to worry about this. As a leading manufacturer, NetEase’s game optimization capabilities are also top-notch. I think. To attract enough people to play, the needs of players with low-end hardware will naturally be taken into consideration. Moreover, the game is built by Unreal Engine 4. With the support of powerful engine rendering performance, "Operation Apocalypse" performs in-depth rendering of full-scene character PBR materials, customized characters and skill special effects, while also doing a good job in mainstream mobile phone configurations. Through various adaptation optimizations, the problem of smooth competition has been solved in advance.
Even if you are playing on a low-end mobile phone, you can experience a refresh rate of 90 frames at the gaming enthusiast level in most scenarios. Even in a chaotic team battle with ten people gathered and skills flying around, "Operation Apocalypse" can achieve a silky-smooth screen refresh of 60 frames, and is suitable for mainstream models with low fever and zero lag.
Unique Charming Experience of Oriental Aesthetics
In addition to rich and diverse hero skills and smooth and silky e-sports level operation feedback, "Operation Apocalypse" has also made many improvements in the art style. s hard work.
Just from the Chinese-style architectural design of the game’s first exposure poster with “red walls, blue tiles, carved railings and painted buildings”, we can probably guess that this time “Operation Apocalypse” has more than just art design ambitions It is to create a vast battlefield composed of multi-galaxy civilizations for everyone. They also hope to create an Apocalypse universe that conforms to Eastern aesthetics.
If a shooting game can incorporate a large number of oriental aesthetic styles from various aspects such as painting style, modeling and hero modeling, map architecture, etc., this will be a great benefit to players. Say it's good news. Moreover, NetEase's art can be trusted, and I believe this is also the consensus of everyone.
Most of the FPS games on the market are realistic and hard-core military-industrial style. Whether it is from the perspective of cultural acceptance or aesthetics, many domestic players have a sense of alienation and visual fatigue. If there is a pure nationally-created shooting game, my visual sense will be better and my mood will be more pleasant when experiencing the game.
Grabbing it with both hands, Operation Apocalypse is expected to become a hit in the new year?
As a shooting game, the graphics are just impression points. The core shooting experience and the game's coolness are what players care about most. Therefore, this has also led to the fact that most mobile shooting games on the market place a heavy emphasis on art and emphasis on shooting. If NetEase can seize it with both hands, "Operation Apocalypse" still has the potential to become a hit in the shooting game category in 2024.
The author believes that the ambition of "Operation Apocalypse" is not satisfied with taking a share of the already red sea shooting field, but rather wants to use the "hero shooting" gameplay to break the limitations of traditional shooting games that only focus on marksmanship. Then use oriental elements to create a shooting game that is more suitable for Chinese players and reshuffle the cards in the market.
Perhaps in the future, when we mention shooting games, the first impression that comes to your mind will not be European and American-style street fighting in steel jungles, but fierce battles between high platforms and thick pavilions...
If you are interested in shooting games, you might as well pay attention to "Operation Apocalypse". Pre-orders for the game have been opened, and the test is expected to start soon. If you are lucky, you may also be able to do the first game. A group of players.
