The Chinese name is "Red Death Revolver"
Game introduction:
In fact, from the perspective of historical origins, this game is the real " "Red Dead Revolver", because "Red Dead Revolver" (literally translated as "Red Death Revolver") is based on the famous FC game of the 1980s - "Red Dead Redemption" produced by CAPCOM with a strong American western style. action shooting game. Since the game was announced at the 2002 E3 exhibition, due to the sales of many important works falling far short of expected targets and repeated investment mistakes, there have been reports that CAPCOM has canceled the development project of the game. Players who have never forgotten the work on FC feel very sorry. Just when the players have no expectations for the future of the work, a piece of news that surprises all players comes out. GTA (Grand Theft Auto), MAX PAYNE (Marx) have been released. Payne), Manhunt (Grand Theft Auto) and many other popular (violent) action games, “Rockstar Games” announced that they not only bought the copyright of “Red Dead Redemption”; The original development team "ANGLE STUDIOS" and renamed it "Rockstar San Diego" (San Diego) studio.
After inheriting the development results of CAPCOM and adding more investment budget, and cooperating with the rich experience of developing multiple game masterpieces under the studio of "Rockstar Games", this game's fate can be described as a "wilderness" with twists and turns. What kind of gaming experience can "Big Dead" bring to players? Now let’s feel it together with my brief introduction.
The Legend of Blood and Tears of the Lone Star in the West
The story background of the game takes place in the late 1880s. The protagonist of the game - Red, a child, lives with his parents on the western border. During the gold rush, the Red family found a lot of gold and became famous overnight. News of their overnight wealth reached the ears of a group of Mexican bandits. Their leader, General Javier Diego, decided to send a group of bandits to rob the Red family and steal their gold. Young Red witnessed the tragic death of his family - his mother was burned to death and his father was shot to death by bandits. The angry Red picked up the pistol that his father had dropped in the fire. The hot gun burned in his hand and left scars on his heart that could never be erased. Red, who endured the severe pain, raised his father's gun. The pistol pulled the trigger on the robber... A few years later, Red, who was burdened with blood feud, resolutely launched his blood-for-blood revenge plan...
"Red Death Revolver" inherited "Rockstar Games" The picture style is in the same line, although the picture is not gorgeous and eye-catching: the resolution is not high, the edges are more obvious, the picture is deliberately hazy and blurry, the little yellowish brown has the "vicissitudes" of nostalgic old movies, supports 480P The XBOX version is much better than the PS2 version in terms of image quality and frame rate (the frame skipping and aliasing phenomena in the PS2 image are more obvious, and the image gap between the two versions of the game feels quite large). However, the realistic and rough style still has its unique charm, and the character modeling, such as clothing, etc., also have western characteristics.
As a game with a strong western style, the stages in the game include various rich terrains such as railways, streets, western towns, bars, etc., and the characters on the stage include those who frequently appeared in western movies. Bahuang Dragon Snake, the light and shadow effects in the game are very outstanding. The sky is full of sunset, candle shadows are shaking, blue sky and white clouds, grassy fields, withered trees and tiles, billowing yellow dust, and rising smoke... all give people a strong visual sense. Enjoyment makes you linger. The rich western style can be said to be a dream experience for players who like western movies and experience the life of fast-shooting cowboys.
Like "Transformers" released at the same time, "Red Dead Redemption" also uses the left and right joysticks to control the direction and perspective. Since controller control is not as convenient as a keyboard and mouse for shooting games, it requires certain It takes a while to get used to it, but once you master it, it's relatively smooth. The switching of viewpoints and the movement of the shooting crosshair are just okay, not as bad as the viewpoints and aiming of "Transformers".
The music of the game is also a highlight. It matches the desolate and vast atmosphere of the picture. The melodious and heroic western style... are all contained in the music. The sound effects of the game are also excellent. The special sounds of each weapon and the sound effects of the surrounding environment are just right.
Rich game modes'
"Story Mode": The story mode is very rich, including multiple tasks such as rescuing hostages. Players can not only control the protagonist "Red" during missions, but can also use 5 characters (including female characters and enemy leader General Javier Diego). Different characters have different gameplay methods and special abilities, which also makes the game The playability is richer and more exciting. Since the stage of the game is set in the Western world dominated by blood and violence, and the protagonist "Red" is a "bounty hunter" who is good at using various firearms to solve problems, at the beginning of each level players can Use the information on the "Reward Column" to learn about the criminal you are about to hunt down. After getting enough "bounty", you can buy more powerful weapons and equipment. After each mission is passed, there will be different levels of rewards based on the evaluation, such as weapons, content in the illustration mode, additional usable characters in the battle mode, etc. Of course, you can buy it with money and support yourself. After clearing the level, "Hunter Mode" and "HARD Difficulty" will be added.
"Brawl (Battle) Mode": Similar to brawl games such as "Onimusha - Rascal", up to 3 AI-controlled characters can be selected to fight or cooperate with players. Usable characters and scenes can be increased through rewards and money after passing levels.
"Picture Book Mode": You can view various information about the game, such as characters, weapon introductions, etc. New data and information can be added to the game.
"Hunter Mode": You can freely choose "part" of the levels in the story mode to play, and they will be added after the story mode is cleared.
Exciting battles
The weapons appearing in "Red Death Revolver" are all classic weapons commonly seen in Western movies (weapons with bullet limits, please always pay attention to the bullets) The replacement of the clip has been supplemented (if you fail to replace it in time, you will have to suffer), including four major categories of weapons: "Pistol series" - such as various "revolvers", etc.; "Rifle series" - such as rifles, etc.; "Throwing series" "Type" - such as "homemade incendiary bombs", "explosives", etc.; "Scene Type" - "machine turrets" fixed in the scene, etc. In addition to weapons that can be purchased through "bounties" and rewards for passing levels, they can also Recycle the enemy's remaining weapons after the "battle" is over. In addition to weapons, you can also use simple fists and legs for close combat (you can also use the butt of the gun to knock enemies), but the power and effect are very limited and not worth recommending. As the characteristics of Western gun battles - the classic scenes of "horse chase gun battle" and "quick shooters draw their guns and shoot a life-or-death duel" are indispensable.
It should be noted that: shooting different parts of the enemy will cause the enemy to suffer different degrees of damage. For example, hitting the "legs" will make the opponent lose the freedom to move; hitting the "hands" will make the opponent unable to move. If you hold a weapon to attack, if you hit the "head" and other vital parts, you will of course be killed with one shot. To sum up, we need to follow the "three precautions": "Pay attention to shooting the enemy's vital parts"; "Pay attention to aiming and sniping at your enemies from high places such as rooftops" (the enemy will fall from the height after hitting the target); "Pay attention to sniping in order to The exposed body part of the enemy who is a hostage as a human shield." In addition, players can also avoid and dodge enemy attacks by jumping and rolling. Since the game also introduces the concept of "covert action" similar to games such as "Metal Gear Solid" and "Tenchu", sticking it on the wall, hiding behind boxes and fences, etc. and then killing the enemy by surprise is also a A very safe and secure way to fight. Movements such as crawling and bending down provide a good concealment effect.
The "DEAD EYE" system is the biggest highlight of the game. When the character's "energy tank" is full, the player can activate the death sniper state (the screen changes to black and white, "Bullet time teleportation" begins to appear, which requires the consumption of energy slots), just aim the red crosshair at the enemy, or use the "multi-lock" system (that is, locking multiple enemies or multiple body parts of a single enemy at the same time) , which can cause heavy damage to ordinary (plural) enemies and even BOSS.
The principle of "quick gun duel" is roughly the same. It is the same as the situation in reality. Either you die or the other person dies. Failure to deal with the opponent will cause you to suffer greater damage, or even OVER.
When cars turn into horses
"Horse chase shootouts" are the most common in Western movies, where the protagonist jumps from a galloping horse onto a speeding train. The thrilling action also appeared in "Red Death Revolver". The actions when riding a horse (different animal mounts have different speeds and strengths) are very rich. In addition to aiming and shooting while riding a horse, you can also You can "juggling" on horseback to dodge enemy bullets. The AI ??of the mount and the enemy is pretty good, and the sense of immersion and excitement during combat makes the game very powerful. Since "Rockstar Games" has extensive experience in developing driving action game masterpieces such as GTA, when the vehicle changes from car to horse, the driving feeling is quite good. When you see these completely western-style scenes, you can really regain the long-lost feeling of western movies!
"Red Death Revolver" presents one of the most fascinating periods in Western history. Rich actions, weapons and the excellent "Death Eye" system can give players a good experience. Although the graphics are not very good, the rich gameplay and freedom are the fine traditions of the studio under "Rockstar Games". It is not a bad idea to regard it as the Western version of "Max. Penn". This is a game worth Recommended action shooting game.
