Introduction: I have always believed that when "The Official Racing Edition of Karts" officially appeared in people's sight, she could instantly capture players who are obsessed with drift racing, and are full of love for cute images such as Clay Egg, Black Girl , Xiaoguai, just because she does have it. Not long ago, this mobile game "Ranqing Returns", just like the spring of the first meeting in 2006, players who came to "Running Kart" once again surrounded the prosperous hills.
initially agreed: Faithfully restore the classic
"Official Racing Edition of Runpao Kart" is that as a mobile game, she almost perfectly restored all the valuable content in the classic game form of "Rao Kart".
game characters: Pig egg, black girl, baby, blue, Xiaoguai, Onion and Pirate Captain are all online, and their image is no different from before. They were the spokespersons of players’ drivers thirteen years ago, and now they are “returning as teenagers”, as if we are still young.
car: from a novice practice car that players jokingly call "board carts";
to pandas, marathons, marshmallows, peak , alloys, burly and other classic models, "Paopuan Kart Official Racing Edition" includes and integrates almost all the model data of the nine generations, and realizes a return to the origin to the retracement. All models no longer have generation systems and numbers for the time being, and each car has unique value.
On the map: No player who has ever played "Running Kart" will forget familiar names such as town canals, forest barrels, desert markets, ghost canyons, and winding space runways. Even when these words are mentioned, the picture of themselves drifting on these tracks will flash back in their minds. Those former cars, skills, shortcuts, and acceleration belts all appeared before our eyes one by one. In "Official Racing Edition of Kart", the 49 track maps currently perfectly replicate all the map structure styles. The start, cornering, drifting and sprinting on these brand new maps make people feel the same at first sight and it is quite touching.
In addition, in all aspects of the game, we are faithfully restoring the original settings of "Sun Kart" in all aspects, from "color gloves" representing the character level to various accessories such as license plates, balloons, drift marks; from background music that can be familiar with humming, to the "shrinking" sound when the water mosquito is released; from classic gameplay such as individual/team racing, prop races, to the devil's nightmare L1 driver's license test...
No matter how time passes, no matter how many games come and go, when the original "Sun Kart" is presented again in such a faithful posture, it is difficult not to be recognized and supported by players.
has made more than 20 million reservations, the App Store's double rankings topped, and the player's drift mileage of more than 600 million kilometers in just 3 days after the server was launched. Many data can actually show that this game has gone from being expected to being recognized, which is a natural thing.
Of course, in terms of content, we must not forget that "The Official Racing Edition of Karts" is a mobile game, and its form is still different from the original.
Mobile game difference: universal efforts
The most surprising thing is that "Paopu Kart Official Racing Edition" achieves an operational feel and actual racing experience similar to the original work. Basically, only the left and right direction keys, one drift keys, one small spray key, and two nitrogen acceleration keys are used.
Click the blank position of the screen to realize the head sprint in the PC game
. There are only a few virtual keys - in fact, it is mainly the different key combinations of the direction key and the drift key, which realizes the various and complex operations in the original work such as point float, drag float, break-off pulling, double-swing, reverse air collection, break-off air replenishment and other various and complex operations. In order to facilitate players to get started with these advanced operations, the game also creates an environment for players to practice these operations at multiple levels such as training manuals, training camps, growth tasks, and driver's license exams.
From the PC game to the mobile game, controlling a racing car to achieve the same feeling and results. Most people will think that it is more difficult to operate on the mobile phone. Without physical buttons, it is likely that the original feel and proficiency will be lacked. However, in "Official Racing Edition of Paopu Kart", we still personally experience the possibility of achieving complex drift operations on mobile phones - although it has a threshold and requires some necessary practice, it can still bring players a rich gaming experience and a sense of accomplishment, and bring players an advanced in-depth gaming experience. This is the effort of mobile games in universal control. There are currently many functions of social and value-added services added to the
game, from the friend system, team (club) system to the home system, etc., which can also be regarded as a universal implementation form.
It is undeniable that judging from the status of "Official Racing Edition of Paopu Karts", the game has set up many "krypton gold" in-house purchase projects, from first recharge rewards to shopping in the mall, from the popular season pass to the very retro monthly card and VIP membership system, which is quite dazzling.
But the flowers bloomed and each showed one branch. I experienced the game with my experience of not paying (0Kr) during the evaluation process. The paid system did not hinder the 0Kr players from experiencing the game content. The paid system mostly only makes the player's image richer, and the game experience becomes slightly easier and better (some paid racing cars will be slightly higher in value, but through normal game activities, you can also get similar rewards without paying).
And in the eyes of many old players, for the core concept of "race", which competes in numbers in the game, the numbers are cold, but the actual feel of the racing car is "warm". Instead of believing in the established values and quality of each car, it is better to believe in practicality and feel. Moreover, as a game hardware indicator, high-quality and high-value racing is not necessary in the current game player behavior. With the development of the game process, these contents will undoubtedly be renovated. With the current game performance, it seems that it is not responsible enough to question the game's payment "break the balance" or "eating ugly" performance.
"equipped with a brand new 9th generation engine" appears in the introduction of many racing cars. It can be seen as a reflection of the mobile game timeline
"Rose Marshmallow" name is also a rare example in the game that comes with a name before classic models
and here, and we seem to have more critical topics to talk about.
Competitive level: outrageously high ceiling
July 8, 2019, it was already 0:30 am on Monday. I found a teaching video of the L2 driver's license test on Bilibili. Hundreds of people are still watching it online at the same time, and the total number of views has exceeded 10,000 - on major video websites, there are tens of thousands of videos such as driving license teaching, timing racing, racing review, etc. in this game. During the popularity period when
was launched, in addition to discussing horizontal comparisons of racing mobile games and chatting about the problems found in the game, most of the valuable discussions revolve around important gameplay in the game, such as the running method of a certain track, or the driving license test.
The gameplay, track design and competitive methods of "Sun Kart" accumulated over thirteen years is somewhat surprising. Players can still run around happily and comfortably in the early stages of the game, but after passing the junior L3 driver's license test, players who do not master some energy collection and drifting skills will find it difficult to pass the entire test of the L2 driver's license test, let alone the "mobile game version seems to be more difficult" L1 driver's license test.
is related to the above point that similar driving license tests are difficult to make up with high-quality racing cars. When driving a car with a playful master, you can reach the finish line more than 10 seconds in advance. However, when you reach the hands of ordinary players, you have worked so hard that you can't meet the standards. The gap seems to be a bit difficult to make up.
In many barrage scenes of video teaching commentary videos, there are audiences who say "I can watch it, but it will be cold as soon as I get started", "This is too difficult", and "I can't learn even if I can learn it".
In the game "Official Racing Edition of Kart", the "Master Video" is also built-in, a learning method for watching the videos of great masters online. The selected videos every week are also popular with more than 200,000 yuan. However, for most players, these videos are not the same as the Book of Heaven, except for the smooth racing process that makes people feel comfortable.
Although during the evaluation process, we have already felt the meticulous and thoughtful teaching of "Official Racing Edition of Karts", breaking down each action and guiding it. At the same time, it was found that in the actual combat of complex tracks, no skill can be easily applied.
All the teaching videos of enthusiastic players will basically remind the audience: you must practice the basic skills diligently. Those "no difficulty" curved drifting techniques actually require long-term understanding and practice.
"Official Racing Edition of Karts" has prepared a playground for ordinary players and also paved the track for high-end competitive players. This outrageously high competitive ceiling is destined to be accessible to extremely elite professional players, and most other players are only able to admire them. In between the two, there must be many players who yearn for speeding and fighting, continuing to climb up the hill. In order to achieve their goals, they will become the most loyal player group of "Running Kart".
Conclusion: "Official Racing Edition of Karts" is undoubtedly a successful racing mobile game this year. Backed by a mature IP brand and the foundation of the game, this game has achieved the quality and attitude recognized by players. Of course, we will continue to observe the subsequent operation and content updates of this game. We hope that the racing racing game category can usher in new developments and breakthroughs under the driving force of such a vigorous game.
