Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 420: A good horse deserves a good saddle. Golden Win

Looking up!

With heavy footsteps, a special operator resembling a giant bear appeared among the police ranks.

This monstrous thing stood over two ters tall, fully ard, wearing the heavy protective suit typically used for bomb disposal.

On his burly fra, a riot helt spray-painted with giant white honey badger teeth made him appear even more formidable and invincible.

Most crucially!

Right now.

In his hands was unmistakably a Gatling rotary machine gun with six barrels—

Click.

As the bear-like operator's hand pressed the fire control switch on the rotary machine gun!

From the Payday crew, Ayin let out a terrified scream!

"Holy fucking shit!!!"

"Run—!!!"

Rrrrr—BRRRRRRR—!!!

The rotary cannon activated!

Ruthless bullets instantly wove into a dense web of fire, instantly shredding the entire corridor!

The four Payday crew mbers fled like frightened dogs, desperately rushing toward the elevator doors behind them!

BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!

Gatling bullets stord densely behind them, turning the entire intensive care unit into a deadly zone bursting with sparks!

The Payday crew sprinted!

While the panicked dical staff also scread and scattered in all directions!

The piercing screams instantly made the already chaotic intensive care unit even more tumultuous!

"Quick! Quick!"

The lead robber dashed forward to press the elevator button, with teammates filing in behind!

However!

At this critical mont!

Crash—!

The female robber at the rear, not paying attention, imdiately collided head-on with a screaming fleeing doctor!

The cooler case shattered open, sending three blood sample tubes flying through the air.

Although in that instant, all four robbers widened their eyes, trying to catch the samples.

One glass tube containing a sample still fell to the ground.

Glass fragnts scattered everywhere!

And along with the glass, the female robber's mask also fell off.

Instantly!

The scene fell deathly silent!

"Uh—huff—huff huff—"

The doctor on the ground looked utterly terrified!

Cowering on the floor, legs weak, panickedly watching as the robber leader wearing the clown mask with the US flag pattern placed the remaining two samples back into the cooler case.

Then.

The four boarded the elevator.

And as the elevator doors closed!

The dark muzzle of the 1911 pistol rose from the elevator door crack, like greedy eyes peering at fresh life in the pitch-black night.

The doctor outside even forgot to breathe, mouth agape as they shuffled backward half a step:

"Don't—"

!!!

Complete darkness.

The elevator slowly descended.

The chaotic footsteps and police radio chatter grew increasingly faint.

In the silent darkness, a clear and horrifying cough suddenly sounded—

"Cough cough—"

"Cough—cough—"

"Ugh—"

"I feel a bit unwell sohow..."

[Demo version ends here]

[Thank you for your experience]

[Payday]

[Coming soon]

[Golden Wind]

—!!!

As the demo version concluded!

Instantly!

The four strears' livestream chats erupted in excitent!

'OHHHHHHHH—! This ending is amazing!'

'Holy shit, I got goosebumps!'

'So that ans Patient Three is the beginning of Left 4 Dead, the Payday crew actually drew samples containing the initial biochemical virus, and accidentally broke one, causing the full outbreak!'

'Can't exactly say the outbreak happened because they broke the test tube, more like from the mont they opened Ward Three, this world was dood, since according to the setting, Left 4 Dead's biochemical virus can spread through air!'

'Looking back now at Left 4 Dead's original trailer, it's really fucking chilling!'

'Yes yes yes! The beginning of Left 4 Dead's trailer showed soone with a clown mask shooting and killing a doctor, then the biochemical virus outbreak—perfectly connecting with this demo's beginning and end!'

'No wonder after the boss and others saw the Gatling operator, the ga switched to CG cutscene—it was for that perfect circular narrative!'

'This ga is too amazing! Feels like overlapping tilines!'

'That shot killing the doctor really made my hair stand on end, this feeling is truly magical!'

'Within our lifeti, brothers, within our lifeti!'

'So the main ga should be about events before the rcy Hospital heist, right? This demo is like an inverted narrative beginning!'

'Definitely! After this cos the Left 4 Dead storyline!'

'Really fucking amazing, seriously, even though we always call Old Thief dogshit, his gas—whether playability, creativity, or even nostalgia—all score perfect marks!'

'This ga is too amazing...'

'Nostalgia is unbeatable...'

......

"Fun! Fun fun! Amazing amazing! This ga is really amazing—"

The livestream chat exploded with discussion!

And strear Ayin couldn't help but shout with excitent!

"Everyone saw the livestream,"

"Just like Left 4 Dead, it's also four-player cooperative multiplayer format,"

"But it has more playability than Left 4 Dead, of course I'm only talking about the original version, let's not count mods,"

"From what we've seen, there should be both stealth and direct assault routes, you can take either path,"

"Maybe so friends prefer picking locks, sneaking around, then go stealth—early difficulty might be higher,"

"Other friends prefer strong assaults, electronic music robberies, then go direct assault, but you all saw the results,"

"That final Gatling bear... hard to say, definitely tougher than Sword Saint and Professor Yang, higher late-ga risk,"

"Overall..."

At this point, Ayin clicked his tongue:

"Fun, really fun brothers,"

"Especially after the fighting starts, it's that kind of pure fun ga, really good,"

"Most importantly, its nostalgia boost is too strong, really gives that feeling of playing Left 4 Dead back in the day..."

After the gaplay experience!

Ayin gave his honest evaluation based on his actual gaplay experience.

Nothing else, just fun!

First of all, the the itself is fun!

Pure bandits!

Who could resist breaking laws in the virtual world, experiencing that feeling of being the arrogant villain from movies?

Even more!

Golden Wind's unique AI tuning has now reached perfection.

Powerful AI logic enhancent makes every NPC character in the ga co alive like real people, incredibly vivid with super imrsion.

As for weapon feel and feedback.

This thing doesn't really need discussion anymore.

Second-generation FPS—Golden Wind is the ancestor!

In the shooting ga field, Golden Wind is the sky, their original expertise handled absolutely skillfully and flawlessly.

Of course!

As the achievent showcase for Golden Engine's alpha test, Payday can't be called perfect either.

New the, fast pace, thrilling experience... these are certainly its advantages.

But simultaneously, compared to Golden Wind's previous gas, Payday's shortcomings are also obvious—

......

Golden Engine's First Appearance! Room for Improvent Still Plentiful!》

《Undeniable Ga Design Quality! Golden Wind's New Ga Payday Impresses! But New Engine Performance Slightly Lacking?》

《Long Road Ahead Still Requires More Effort! Golden Wind's New Engine Work Debuts, Criticized for Having Gaplay But Lacking Performance》

[Just yesterday, the "Golden Engine" jointly developed by Golden Wind leading seventeen Huaguo manufacturers opened alpha test demo gaplay. This demo is Golden Wind's cri shooter ga Payday specifically created for the new engine. As a prequel to Golden Wind's foundational work Left 4 Dead, the ga received widespread player praise upon release, but simultaneously, issues like diocre industrial quality, rough visual presentation, and lack of breakthrough improvents in ga features were widely discussed...]

[...Many dia outlets and industry insiders bluntly stated that Golden Engine's debut can only be called barely satisfactory. Perhaps for Golden Wind, more breakthrough and creative improvents are the only way for Golden Engine to break through the competition...]

[...Regarding this, SNG editor-in-chief Simon said: Clearly, Golden Wind's engine didn't keep up with Gu Sheng's rhythm this ti. If Payday had a better engine, its quality would undoubtedly reach a whole new level.]

["Obviously, this ti Golden Wind didn't achieve matching good horses with good saddles, but this is also the best Golden Wind can currently do—they need more ti..." Poland's Pride Engine vice president comnted this way...]

...]

With Payday's release!

For a ti, overwhelming coverage—almost half the gaming world—was discussing this ga!

From players to dia, to various industry peers.

Clearly!

Regarding this ga's the and setting, most reviews held positive attitudes!

Unprecedented pure cri the, unparalleled foundational tuning, and close relationship with second-generation FPS pioneer Left 4 Dead.

All of this fully demonstrates Gu Sheng's ga design level remains at highly active peak performance.

But!

From various reports, it's also apparent.

Regarding the "Golden Engine" Golden Wind currently uses, people don't seem entirely satisfied.

As one report stated, this Golden Engine can only be considered "barely satisfactory."

Calling it garbage would definitely be unfair.

With just three months developnt ti, despite over twenty-person team technical support and hundreds of millions in cost investnt, the tifra was still too short.

Now, Golden Wind being able to present it for testing within such short ti and actually apply it to make gas is already comndable success.

Even.

If this weren't Golden Wind's work, but any other ga company, it would be considered miraculous.

But unfortunately!

This is Golden Wind's work.

And people accustod to experiencing unparalleled amazent and shock in Golden Wind's works, upon seeing such an unremarkable, plain, even sowhat "dragging down" Payday engine.

Dissatisfaction inevitably arises.

This is like exam scores.

A student who usually only scores passing marks, occasionally getting 90 points, is enough to surprise and excite people.

But a student who consistently gets perfect scores, perhaps just because they didn't complete bonus questions this ti, will disappoint and make people feel regretful.

For higher-level manufacturers.

People's expectations naturally run higher.

This is human nature.
