为什么即时战略游戏越来越落寞?
硬核科普警告!即时战略(RTS)在过去30年的发展中,传统型RTS已经衍生出了三种细分品类,分别代表着三种玩法设计侧重,他们是战术型、战略型、动作型。 题主提到的落寞应该是特指传统型RTS和动作型RTS,他们代表了RTS的席卷行业的起源时代,以及达到RTS热度顶峰的电竞时代。
这是一种并不算公认的分类方案,几乎只被开发者和学院派认同,玩家们的分类标准则是众说纷纭。而 对于多数游戏的发行商来说,他们更乐意于混淆各种RTS的定义,甚至带上即时战术的标签,以此来拓展游戏销路的受众面,并且吃到冷门品类的舆论支持红利,也就是我们常听到的口号“现在还有在做RTS的…必须要支持”。不过作为玩家,我们能够清晰的体会到这四类RTS的根本差距,玩法的互不相通让我 … ⌘ Read more

游戏的系列作品,下一作应该如何削弱前作中玩家已经养成的“战神”级角色?
知乎游戏区的好问题!拿近期大火的《黑神话·悟空》为例。
齐天大圣本体明显太强了,你如果设计成敲谁谁死,那游戏肯定没意思。
你如果设计成从1级开始游戏,那玩家肯定又不干“我们的大圣才没那么弱鸡。”
所以,游戏科学将大圣想办法分成了好几份,需要3周目都真结局,才能发挥出真大圣的威力。
从装备碎片,到大圣碎片,做成了拼图的形式。非常有创意。

游戏《冰汽时代2》中的“暖券”是什么?在现实中有类似的通货么?
终于写完了,6000 字长文解读游戏中的「暖券」设定。
直接看游戏中给的标准答案吧: 暖券是城市中使用的货币。它最初只是用于兑换固定热能的票证,后来才发展成为通用的交换手段。
「暖券」这个概念在 Frostpunk 一代中还没有出现(冰汽时代 1 中只有资源,没有货币),到二代中暖券就已经成为了事实上的货币。所以如果仅考虑 Frostpunk 2 游戏的话,直接简单理解: 暖券 = 钱。不妨再看一下游戏中对暖券的详细介绍:

你一直坚持热爱的事情是什么?坚持了多久?
谢邀 @央视新闻
知乎的朋友们好啊,我是打了50多年的乒乓球的运动员倪夏莲。
常常有年轻的朋友来问我是怎么坚持下来的,诚实地讲,我也搞不清楚。从没想过自己能打这么久,想放弃的时刻也多到数不清,但兜兜转转了这么些年,自己还是没能离开这颗小球。
你说坚持是因为热爱吗?肯定是的。但这五十多年里,在热爱之外,夹杂了太多其他东西。
上学那会儿,从电视里看到乒乓球赛的转播,拿冠军的人就像英雄一样,可威风了。加上学校条件比较好,有八个乒乓球台,于是我就报名去打球。

中国制造能否诞生「奢侈品」?
谢邀 @央视新闻 。
什么是从中国制造中诞生的「奢侈品」?
这是一个来自2011年的提问,为了回答这个问题,我们有必要先穿越时空,一起回顾一下,「中国制造」到底走过了怎样的路。
不妨把时间线拉得再长一些。
75年,对于一个人,很长,意味着从垂髫小儿到黄发老者的一生;对于一个国家,很短,不过才经历了一代人一生的岁月。
75年前的中国,能造什么?
在“一辆汽车、一架飞机、一辆坦克,甚至是一辆拖拉机都造不出来”的75年前,他们一定这样幻想过这样的未来——「总有一天」。
那一年的大典上,我们没有一架自己制造的飞机,要成为航空强国就必须先造出飞机的“心脏”——航空发动机。直到1954年8月,新中国第一台活塞式航空发动机——M-11试制成功。
如今,中国研制的“太行”、“玉龙”、AES100等多型发动机为我国各类飞机、直升机提供了强 … ⌘ Read more
独立游戏在中国 插曲:手游版号办理完全攻略

最近因为之前那篇关于版号的文章 ( 关于手游审批:大限已过,无号上线的手游都怎么样了? _)_,收到一些私信,也认识了不少新朋友,其中不少对我们帮助很大。感谢的话放在后面,值得一提的是,大多数新朋友们频繁地问我同一个问题,那就是: 版号究竟该怎么办。

如何评价《黑神话:悟空》这款游戏?它到底好不好玩?
用上亿美元甚至数亿美元的预算,做出值得被提名为年度游戏的杰作,是世界上最好的游戏研发团队才能做到的事情。
乐观估计,这样的团队全世界不超过20个。
更多的游戏团队,就算拿到了上亿甚至数亿美元的预算,也只能做出8分、7分甚至6分的游戏。
即便是这样的团队,也都是经验丰富的行业中坚。
那么,当一个团队的开发预算注定只有8分游戏的规模时,他们要怎么办?
当研发团队的预算,人力,周期都注定不可能做出一款完美的游戏时,他们要如何决断?
这就是《黑神话悟空》的故事。
在黑神话全盛期的争议过后,现在是可以从一个相对客观的角度来讨论这个游戏的设计得失的时候了。这是一个在极其有限的资源之下,关于正确决断和大胆放弃的奇迹。
不止一位熟识的朋友都抨击旗舰总是倾向结论先行而略过大量前提;所以,这次我尝试一下和以往略有区别的,“登高远眺”的写法,争取把所有的判断前提和数据来源都写进来——当然,这会导致文章长度变得更长。

黑神话悟空:斗罢艰险,能否出发?
经历了68小时的奋战,我终于拿下了黑神话的白金奖杯。大概,我现在自认为算是有资格真正来评价一下这个游戏了。
黑猴无疑是近20天来游戏圈最大的热点,销量目前已经逼近2000万大关,Twitch热度第二,Steam同时在线人数历史第一,算是非常结实地火了一把。但与此同时,关于这个游戏的口水仗就一直没有停过。发售前有关女权相关话题就激起了女权主义者和玩家之间的对立冲突,发售前几天围绕战斗系统的好坏也是争议不断,某站爆出某些厂商买量踩黑猴的事更是一石激起千层浪,同时期星鸣特攻的史诗级失败似乎成了黑猴成功的佐证,而宇宙机器人则不幸被拉来做了黑猴的新一轮对线机器……
我最终选择在这个时间点,在专栏里发布这篇文章。首先是想等我白金之后对这个游戏的认识相对深入一点,其次希望等舆论稍微沉淀一下之后再发,最后还是希望能少吃一些 … ⌘ Read more
方励为拍摄《里斯本丸沉没》「砸锅卖铁」是否值得?这部电影会产生多大影响?
知友们大家好,我是方励。今天想跟大家聊聊为什么我会拍摄《里斯本丸沉没》这部纪录片,而且为此不惜砸锅卖铁、倾尽所有。很多人问我,为什么要把这么多时间、精力、钱都投入到一部纪录片上?其实,我觉得这不光是一个职业选择,更是我内心的承诺。
十年前,我和韩寒一起拍《后会无期》的时候,无意中听一位当地船老大讲起了“里斯本丸”沉船的故事。当时我心头一震:这艘船的沉没,不仅仅是一个二战中的海难事件,它关系到1800多个家庭的生离死别。而这件事竟然发生在我们“家门口”,却几乎无人知晓。作为中国电影人,我感觉自己有责任把这段历史打捞出来,不能让它继续被遗忘。
这对我来说,不只是拍一部纪录片,而是对一个时代的回应。我想,这个故事不仅仅关于一艘沉船,更重要的是关于人性。在那个绝望的时刻,东极岛的渔民们在枪林弹雨中救起了素不相识的盟军战俘。这种勇敢和善良,正是我们中国人最珍贵的品质,超越了时间、国界。

当时我很兴奋。因为在那文章发布之前几个月,我就把《无敌号》加入了愿望单,但我从来没奢望过会在任何游戏媒体上看到关于这个游戏的前瞻。这个游戏几乎是各种小众标签的集合体——波兰科幻作家莱姆、彼时尚无中文译本的《无敌号》原著、步行模拟类游戏、没有战斗、并非名门的开发商,总之看不出有任何卖座的可能性,哪怕文章发布十个月之后《无敌号》原著的中文版上市了也还是如此。

大众对攀岩运动有哪些误解?
