Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 415: Return! Mercy Hospital!

Golden Engine has news!

After three months!

Just three short months after Golden Wind announced the developnt of their fully self-funded Golden Engine!

While global players were still marveling at how My World was dominating the gaming scene with pure gaplay, speculating whether Golden Wind would need to wait for engine availability to produce more engine-less handcrafted gas!

Golden Wind finally brought news about engine developnt!

The Alpha test engine is officially out!

And beyond that!

Accompanying this engine alpha test, Golden Wind actually released a dedicated ga as the testing platform!

Most crucially—

"Holy shit!!! rcy Hospital???"

"rcy Hospital sounds so familiar, but I can't rember where from..."

"Left 4 Dead! The opening of the trailer was rcy Hospital, and the first level starts from rcy Hospital too!"

"Ohhhhh damn I rember now! So this is a sequel? L4D2?"

"A Left 4 Dead remaster? Holy shit! My favorite ga is getting remastered? Or is it a sequel?"

"Doesn't feel like a remaster or sequel, this is Golden Wind we're talking about, I don't think Old Thief would make sequels"

"True, other ga companies would definitely release sequels or rehash old content given this opportunity, but that bastard Old Thief probably won't make another zombie survival series"

"rcy Hospital... holy shit, could this be a Left 4 Dead prequel?"

"But there weren't zombies in the Left 4 Dead prequel, what would we fight?"

"No idea..."

......

mories engraved in DNA that had been sealed away for so long were awakened!

As Golden Wind's first multiplayer cooperative shooting ga with investnt exceeding ten million,

Left 4 Dead pioneered nurous innovations in the gaming field.

First was the "second-generation FPS concept"!

This needs no further elaboration, as this concept has now even beco mainstream in shooting gas, influencing the entire FPS gaming landscape.

Beyond this most important innovation,

The multiplayer cooperative PVE mode also significantly influenced the developnt of shooting ga formats.

Since Left 4 Dead, various gas following the Left 4 Dead format have erged endlessly.

During Left 4 Dead's peak popularity, it's no exaggeration to say that if your ga supported multiplayer, had second-generation FPS chanics, and focused on PVE, players would automatically pay up!

Moreover!

Even today!

Left 4 Dead still ranks among the top in player numbers for this ga genre!

Not that its original maps are particularly amazing.

The key is the Workshop system derived from this ga has been incredibly successful!

Countless character, weapon, item, map, and even soundtrack mods have dramatically extended this ga's lifespan.

Today's Left 4 Dead is less an independent ga and more a platform for ga mods!

Every type of mod imaginable is available!

According to rough statistics, Left 4 Dead currently has nearly a million mods!

Looking at the current situation globally, the only ga that might potentially surpass Left 4 Dead in mod numbers is Golden Wind's recently released My World.

However, achieving this milestone might require giving Block People a few more years.

Without doubt!

Calling Left 4 Dead a globally popular multiplayer cooperative shooting ga is absolutely deserved!

And precisely because of this!

Now, when rcy Hospital's na is ntioned again!

Both new players who've heard of Left 4 Dead and veterans from the Left 4 Dead era are boiling with excitent!

Is it a sequel?

Is it a remaster?

Is it a prequel?

What's its relationship with Left 4 Dead?

How is it similar to Left 4 Dead?

"...Fuck discussing all this useless crap, just log in and try it! Co on let's go!"

In Tree-ge's livestream chat, Acui directly clicked the link under Golden Wind's official tweet to get demo access.

Correct!

With Golden Wind's surprise announcent, the demo version of this work running on the new Golden Engine was simultaneously released on both Yiyou and XunTeng platforms.

The demo is completely open, just requiring simple steps to get access.

And viewers in the livestream chat all joked—

"Damn, having your own engine is so luxurious, just play casually"

"Hahahaha if this were Illusion Engine, just the download volu for this demo would be enough to give Old Thief a headache"

"Good thing it's not Illusion, otherwise Konik would definitely milk Little Yellow hard for revenge"

"Say no more, spending one Gollum as tribute isn't too much right?"

"Hahahahaha what the hell is 'one Gollum'! Five billion dollars equals one Gollum?"

"This asurent unit is too damn funny, Konik would want to curse seeing this"

"After all, not everyone can throw away five billion dollars, just ask Little Yellow, do they have that capability? Five billion dollars! Pure giveaway! Don't ask if it's successful, just ask if they have the capability!"

"So damn capable bro—!"

"Straight up giving it away, there really is so skill involved, damn even Kora isn't as foolish as CloudPower"

"That's just how the landlord's dumb son is..."

"You're laughing so loud, really think Konik doesn't read chat barrages?"

"Huh? Konik reads chat barrages? Perfect timing then: Konik when will you () () ah?"

"Wuwuwuwu top laner, carry us one more ti top laner bro—"

......

A wave of sarcastic teasing!

And rightly so.

This mysterious ga released by Golden Wind, known to be running on Golden Wind's self-developed engine, inevitably makes people think of Illusion Engine that sanctioned Huaguo gaming companies, and the CloudPower Vivendi Group.

Not just players are discussing this!

Within just half an hour of this announcent, various dia outlets quickly followed the trend, instantly shifting focus to this work created with the new Golden Wind Engine!

Like thunder from a clear sky.

For a mont, everyone was drawn by this thunderclap.

This is Golden Engine Alpha's first appearance, and it's no exaggeration to say this will directly impact global gaming industry's prospects for the CJ Exhibition hosted in Huaguo this June!

Hmm—!

Whoo—!

[Listen, this ti we need to get a blood sample from a patient in rcy Hospital's ICU.]

[Plan is this: After entering the hospital, first deal with the caras, secure the area, then hack into the hospital database, I'll find the target.]

[But let say this first, the employer behind this job seems sowhat unsettling, they contacted us through a third party.]

[You'd better be careful, don't touch that patient's blood sample, evacuate imdiately after getting it, avoid complications...]

As a man nad Bane's voice sounded through the earpiece,

The operation plan clearly appeared before Tree-ge.

In his ears, the elevator humd as it slowly ascended.

And in the dark screen, ga information resembling movie credits slowly appeared—

[Powered by Golden Engine]

[A Steel Chain Fingers Production]

[Payday]

[Golden Wind]

[Presents]

Correct!

This ti!

The test work Gu Sheng specifically selected for Golden Engine was precisely Payday, known as the "bank robbery simulator"!

Of course.

This was also a decision considering multiple factors.

After all, the engine is still in testing phase, they don't need to unleash their ultimate move right away.

Considering cost and playability factors, plus the bold idea for a derivative movie—

Payday is absolutely their best choice right now!

"So... we're... here to rob?"

As the group opened their eyes and the ga logo gradually faded from view, Tree-ge couldn't help but voice the soul-searching question.

The three people teaming with Tree-ge this ti were Ayin, Liu Liu, and Zhuang Zhuang.

Such a combination undoubtedly made viewers exclaim 'the youth returns'.

"The ghost hunting squad from back then is reunited?"

"Sunshine Elentary School quartet?"

"A Left 4 Dead derivative sequel gathers the first batch of Phasmophobia strears, dreaming back to when Little Yellow was just starting out"

"Back then I was just an innocent youth, now I'm a mother of three children"

"???"

"Don't be too damn ridiculous bro..."

"Laughing my ass off..."

"So this ga is about stealing? Cheating? Robbing?"

"Sneak attacking ICU veterans, no martial virtue"

"Real bastards, drawing blood from ICU patients, are you even human?"

"This mission is too damn cruel..."

......

As viewers discussed in the chat barrage,

The several strears new to the ga also looked at each other, quite intrigued by the ga's setting.

"Oh oh, damn, we have guns..."

Feeling his lower back slightly, Ayin couldn't help feeling startled.

And the others also showed understanding expressions.

Looks like this ga's main appeal is "if soft approach doesn't work, go hard."

Clearly.

Sneaking into the ICU covertly isn't realistic for them.

So.

To get the specified patient's blood from the ICU as the mission instructs, they'll ultimately need to rely on the piece tucked in their lower backs.

However!

Just as the group was still preparing!

*Ahem*... Excuse , gentlen."

The elevator had already stopped at the floor, and the person behind them sharing the ride seed impatient with their delay, asking to pass.

Hearing this,

Liu Liu at the back instinctively stepped aside to let them pass, glancing back.

But with just one look!

The person behind made her freeze montarily, then exclaim softly:

"Hey? It's him—!"

Hearing the sound!

The other three also turned to look!

They saw the man walking toward the elevator door was around forty years old, wearing a white suit, parted hair, polished leather shoes.

This is...

Hiss—!!!

Instantly!

Not just the four, but even viewers in the livestream chat all gasped in shock!

'Holy shit?!'

'This is..'

'Nick from Left 4 Dead?!'
