It is laughingly called "low configuration version of Genshin Impact". This mobile game su
Recently, players have discovered that "Original God" seems to have been "borrowed".
It starts with a game called "The Legend of Neverland" (hereinafter referred to as the temporary folk translation of Neverland Legend).
Recently, some overseas players tweeted that the background of the promotional image of "Legend of Neverland" has a strong "original flavor".After being reminded, many players echoed, and a large number of players began to participate in the discussion, pointing out that the game's terrain and art style are similar to "Yuanshin", and even said that more than 40 friends around them thought "it is Yuanshin".
Subsequently, "Legend of Neverland" went from Twitter to YouTube, and finally attracted the attention of Chinese players, but this matter may not be as simple as it seems.
The actual content similarity is limited
The publisher of "Legend of Neverland" is GameArk, and it is still in the pre-registration stage in overseas markets.
However, some foreign players have already uploaded the internal test video. From the first impression, there are indeed certain similarities between "Legend of Neverland" and "Original God".
For example, both of them adopt Japanese 3D cartoon modeling and third-person perspective.card drawing interface, etc.
The information on the official website shows that "Legend of Neverland" is positioned as a "new open world adventure RPG", but in some overseas game collection websites, "Legend of Neverland" is classified as MMORPG.
The monster refresh rate and other players passing by are very MMO
At the same time, "Legend of Neverland" allows players toPinch face, this is a function that is not open in "Yuan Shen", and it is also a manifestation of its MMO style.
Strictly speaking, excluding the UI, GameLook believes that "Legend of Neverland" and "Original God" in artIn fact, the similarity is far lower than that of similar 3D cartoon-rendered two-dimensional games, such as Japanese, European and American "Wu Shen Ji".Moreover, the art of "Legend of Neverland" is rich in color, and the black outline of the model is also thicker. After actual observation, the sense of sight is actually not that strong.
The advertising materials are more similar
Of course, the part that players criticized at first was not the actual content of the game, but the similarity in the promotional pictures and videos.
Judging from the comparison pictures out of the circle, "Legend of Neverland" and "Original God" both adopt the composition of the back shot, that is, the front of the character is not shown, but the character and the camera are facing the same directionIn this way, it mainly shows the environment of the game and renders the world view.
This approach is very common, but the problem is that the background in the promotional picture of "Legend of Neverland" is indeed somewhat similar to "Original God". Regardless of the artistic style, the position of the cliff and the upturned angle causeThe doubts of overseas players have been resolved.
Including some advertising materials, players have also found similarities, such as a female character facing the camera in the advertising picture of "Legend of Neverland", standing in the center of the church, the church isIt is similar to the composition of the church in Mond City in "Original God".
Comparison chart made by players
In the eyes of many "Yuanshin" players, the promotional image "Yuanshin" in "Legend of Neverland", the game content is not so similar to "Yuanshin", but it is the biggest mistake of "Legend of Neverland".Because this approach will lead some novice players to think that this is what "Yuan Shen" looks like.
Some domestic players also expressed the hope that "Legend of Neverland" will be of "higher quality", so as to arouse Mihayou's sense of crisis and provide more benefits to "Original God" players, such as optional five-star.
The game's official announcement map is better than the real machine
There are suspected overseas games "reference""In the case of Yuanshin God, compared with the righteous indignation of overseas players, the emotions of Chinese players are relatively more complicated.
Can MMO still engage in "low configuration" strategy?
It has to be denied that regardless of whether the game is like "Yuanshin", the active launch strategy of "Legend of Neverland" has indeed played a certain role.According to the official website, the number of pre-orders for "Legend of Neverland" has exceeded 1 million, fulfilling the scheduled goal.
You must know that on the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019, once "Yuan Shen" was released, it caused heated discussions in the game circle, 6The number of daily appointments is also in the millions.
A GameLook search found that as early as October 2020, less than a month after the global public beta of "Yuanshin God", related videos of "Legend of Neverland" have begun to appear on YouTube.This also means that "Legend of Neverland" is actually a game that is not too late to establish a project.
Of course, due to the global success of "Yuanshin", "Legend of Neverland" made some content iterations with reference to "Yuanshin", especially marketing changes.
In GameLook's view, the purpose of "Legend of Neverland" is not so much to benchmark "Yuanshin", but more to fill the market that "Yuanshin" has not yet filled.As we all know, "Yuanshin" is a cross-platform game, which requires a lot of mobile device configuration. The idea of "Legend of Neverland" may be more similar to "Free Fire" and "PUBG Mobile", which itself is to seize the gap in the sinking market.
So will this game make a bigger splash overseas?It remains to be seen how the game performs after its official release.
