Disappointed demo experience of "Ghost in the Shell Online"

is operated by NEXON and authorized by Kodansha to develop an online first-person shooter game "Ghost in the Shell Online" based on animation works. The English version has been opened for early access. This introduction will focus on the gameplay and the three game modes of "Team Deathmatch", "Blasting Mission" and "Team Occupation".

※Note: This game review is in Early Access Alpha stage and does not represent the full release of the game content in the future.

Ghost in the Shell’s first online game, is it worth playing? How can

destroy a classic work serialized for more than 25 years and full of historical value with the lowest finished product and the shortest time? The answer is very simple: sell the copyright Give the South Korean online game development company Nexon, let them make an online game that is related to the original work in addition to the game name and appearance of the characters. Congratulations! You have contributed to the glorious history of the "Ghost in the Shell" series It leaves a stain that can never be accepted by the world. [Cyberpunk] Cyberpunk-style works have not been loved by the public since ancient times, "Technology has always come from human nature. "The desire in human nature is the most important factor that enables the rapid development of science and technology. People want to become immortal gods, people want to challenge the supreme creator, and people finally abandon human nature and let machinery replace the behavior that human beings should have as creatures. Do human beings still have ego? In this world where even memories can be faked, the proud soul will only become a bargaining chip.

"Ghost in the Shell Online" is a monotonous and poorly played first-person online shooter. Since the time of the game is not officially listed as official history, the background story is not introduced. However, when it comes to the familiar first-person online shooting game, most Taiwanese players will directly think of "Absolute Force Online", which still has a huge number of players. The gameplay of this game is more connected to another game "AVA Battlefield King". The same is all fighting in a small space. Whoever raises the gun faster, who fires the gun better, which team has a plug-in, and which team has no fertilizer, can end the game in less than five minutes. The round is compared. High-end players think The necessary fair duel and technical rivalry do not exist here.

really pushed the author into the pit is the animated version. The unique world view of cyberpunk makes people love it.

After installing the game and completing the novice task, when I saw this hall interface, a bad premonition came to my mind. A "AVA King of the Battlefield", with a strong Korean style

Don’t think that adding Iron Sight can imitate "Decision Moment", the shooting feel is not as good as “Decision Moment”

uses the old engine to make outdated pictures

first From the perspective of screen performance, although the quality of a game screen cannot directly determine the value of the work, this game still uses the old and outdated game engine Gamebryo. The Gamebryo engine was active from 2000 to 2010. Use this The famous games of the engine include "Escape 3" and "Escape of Dust: New Vegas" developed by Bethesda. The Gamebryo engine is also a popular engine for domestic game development "Legend Network", which is basically legendary. All works on the Internet are produced using this engine. The advantages and disadvantages of the

Gamebryo engine are very obvious. The advantage is that it allows players to produce an excellent visual experience of the screen, giving people the illusion of "This game is optimized!" The disadvantage is that "the perspective is fine, and the close-up is blurry." Because of the shortcomings of rough object textures and stiff limbs of the characters, the engine can only be used to produce small-finished online games with low production costs. Most European and American 3A manufacturers gave up using the Gamebryo engine to develop games as early as ten years ago.

Gamebyro has produced works as early as two thousand years, with a very long history of game engines:

"Remains of Dust 3" and "Remains of Dust: New Vegas" are all games made with the Gamebyro engine

Legendary Internet Love The Wannian engine used is also GAmebyro, low development cost is one of its features.

Gamebyro has been abandoned by most European and American manufacturers and has become a favorite engine for online game developers. To popularize online games is to reduce image quality and improve performance so that low-end computers can run easily.

There is no bright game mode, which is not interesting at all.

"Ghost in the Shell Online" currently supports a total of three game modes, [Team Deathmatch], [Blasting Mission], and [Team Occupation], the first two modes In fact, there is no need to introduce more. The team death fight is to kill the enemy to get points. The score is the first to win the team with 10,000 points. The blasting mission is that each team member has only one life. The attacker can win by detonating the bomb. You can protect the target until the end of time to win, but the easiest way to win is to directly annihilate the enemy team.

[Team Occupation] is the most playable battle mode in this game. Players must cooperate with teammates to occupy the terminals and protect them from being taken (in short, Capture the Points gameplay), when the friend succeeds After seizing the terminal, the cutest mascot of "Ghost in the Shell" will appear to help friendly reconnaissance and annihilate the enemy team members. The team that takes the lead in capturing the terminal five times will win. The current version of

has three battle modes: team deathmatch, blasting mission, team occupation

team deathmatch is very simple. The team that kills the first 10,000 points wins

blasting mission. Each player has only one life. To install and dismantle the bomb

, the more interesting team occupation mode, the first team to occupy the terminal five times wins

. When the occupation is successful, the Ghost in the Shell will appear to support the friends. This is currently the only mode in the Ghost in the Shell

Disappointing famous works, I beg you to miss the Nine Public Security Lessons

Although it can be seen that Nexon wants to achieve a design that meets the original standards in terms of character skills, but each character's skills are just posing for fans. For example, Motoko Kusanagi's character skill [Optical Camouflage] is so bad that the invisible effect of optical camouflage is simply a moving fuzzy mosaic. Players who are not visually impaired can shoot you as early as ten meters away. , Can’t you learn the stealth watch of the spy profession in "Jedi Fortress 2"? Let’s talk about the role skill of player Paz [High Speed ​​Running], this skill is simply against the sky! As mentioned in the previous paragraph, "Gun Shell" "Mobile Team Online" is a battle game in a small space on a small map. The high-speed running skill allows the enemy to rush all the way to their own rebirth point at the beginning of the round. Often they will be shot from behind when they walk out of the house, causing heavy casualties.

In addition to the great problem with the balance of character skills, another problem is that although "Ghost in the Shell Online" emphasizes tactical and strategic gameplay, in fact, the occupational division of labor is extremely low. Although players can use the [Skill Sharing] system to share their role skills It is shared to players for download and use through tactical links, but after all, this is only a pure team gain effect and cannot be compared with the [tactical strategy]. The real decision is the targeting technique and pocket depth. All in all, the author can be sure that this game will not be a successful online shooting game. The same and mediocre game mode, the outdated graphics drawn by the old game engine, and the poor balance of character skills cannot guarantee that the game will not start when the game is officially launched. The mall sells point guns for numerical cheating. If you are a cyberpunk fan and want to experience the future world created by "Ghost in the Shell", then save your time and play the "Hacker" series!

Motoko Kusanagi's signature ability, optical camouflage, turned into a useless tasteless skill here.

Ishikawa’s machine gun holding platform is very effective in blasting missions. The only weakness is Bart’s arm rocket

Paz’s high-speed running is probably the most powerful skill. First, the speed doubles and instantly kills the enemy

. At present, the unlocked gun can only be purchased through game currency, so the dollar warrior is not too strong.

LianmeiWest server is about 80 Ping up and down, but the shooting delay is as high as one second, it is difficult to kill the enemy. . Disadvantages of

:

- the battle mode is monotonous, except for the team occupation mode, it has not shaped the characteristics of the shell works.

- It feels that the content of the game is entirely from other Korean-made online shooting games, and the foreskin re-sold recycled products.

- The quality of the Internet connection is very poor. The West Coast server is like being connected to Egypt. Killing the enemy depends on luck.

- The balance of character skills is poor and it cannot reflect the characteristics of the members of the Nine Public Security Lessons. It is a pity that the food is tasteless and discarded.

Conclusion: You don’t need to spend time playing this game, it is better to wait for the live-action movie starring Black Widow to be released.

Hollywood "Ghost in the Shell" movie starring Black Widow actor Scarlett Johansson will start shooting soon!
