At this year's Cologne live broadcast night, we saw many familiar figures, such as the " Escape " series, which brought a new work "Escape Trials", and the well-known sand sculpture game "Goat Simulator 3" also announced the latest trailer, and "Moving 2" has basically been confirmed to be released in 2023. In addition to these IPs, this Cologne exhibition also brought new surprises. Among them, "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun", the only martial arts-themed open world game that debuted on the live broadcast night, triggered a lot of discussion.
"Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" is a martial arts-themed open world game independently developed by Everstone Studio. It will be launched on all platforms in the future. Pre-registration for the first test has been opened. It can be seen that this work can be used with players. The meeting should be relatively complete.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the overall effect of this work.
First of all, the background of this work is very interesting. It is the late Tang and early Song Dynasty that many games have never set foot on. In an era of chaos, many secrets are bound to emerge. "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" chose a very recognizable character Li Yu as the opening, and paired it with the background music of Wu dialect composed by Li Yu himself, giving it a cinematic feel. There are not many mysteries in the plot yet, but it is certain that it won't be too boring, because everyone can still look forward to the "decryption" elements provided by the official.
In addition, it is the most eye-catching martial arts move in this work. At present, it can be seen that "Sixteen Tones of Yanyun" includes Tai Chi moves, acupuncture moves, shadow steps, fried fish palms, lion roar skills, stealth, etc. Among them, the application of the concept of Tai Chi is particularly noteworthy. In traditional martial arts, Tai Chi emphasizes the use of four ounces to move a thousand pounds and the use of strength to strike. The protagonist's movements of luck and momentum when fighting the enemy are very smooth, and it can show the effect of Tai Chi's softness and strength, which is very exciting.
In recent years, domestic hard-core games have focused on the theme of martial arts. But in fact, the concept of martial arts is very big. "Martial arts" and "xia" are two dimensions, and one is indispensable. Some games pay more attention to martial arts, that is, the combat experience in the game, while others focus more on the display of the "xia" spirit and work hard on the plot.
In short, each game has a different focus, and "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" is more like a deep exploration of history and traditional Chinese culture, using martial arts to embody the spirit of chivalry, and using chivalry to promote martial arts. progress. Although the first exposure video of "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" is only 5 minutes long, the martial arts atmosphere it displays is highly talked about by players. People can’t help but sigh: Domestic games and domestic martial arts games have a bright future.
