PS+ August free games announced

The free games for PS+ in August on European and American servers have been announced, namely "LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga", "Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach" and "Lily of the End: Knight of Night", and they will be available for redemption on August 6th.

Although there are relatively few games this month, the reputation of the three games is pretty good. However, there are no blockbusters, and I believe many players will complain again!


Xbox Insider Reviews "Star Wars"

According to foreign media reports, Xbox insider Parris Lilly recently gave his own evaluation after playing "Star Wars: Overwatch" and said that the release of "Star Wars: Overwatch" should be postponed until early next year.

Parris Lilly said: "I like Star Wars, but I think it should be delayed and its pricing structure should be completely overhauled. The numbers don't lie, even in this public beta, it didn't attract enough players to play. I think Star Wars should be delayed until early 2025 and use this time to improve the game and better tell players what this game is and why we should play it."


It was revealed that the trailer of GTA6 used AI

Obbe Vermeij, former game director of Rockstar, once called for a major revolution in the gaming industry, saying that more AI and physics-based animations should be used instead of traditional hand-painted techniques. He even revealed that GTA6 is also using AI technology.

In an interview, the former Rockstar director said that he heard that the animation of the beach scene in the first trailer of GTA6 may use advanced AI and physics technology instead of being drawn by humans. Every character on the beach has dynamic animation.

He also believes that Rockstar is the only studio in the industry that can drive the AI ​​revolution. If Rockstar starts using generative AI in games, many studios will follow suit.


Game science development is stressful

The head of Game Science revealed in an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian that making their first large-scale PC and console game was a real challenge for the team.

"We are under tremendous pressure. This is the first time we have developed PC and console games, and we are a new studio, so we are very grateful for the tolerance and enthusiasm of players and the market. Their support inspires us. But the Chinese way of thinking is that we always pay attention to risks, so when faced with such huge incentives, the best thing we can do is to do our best to meet players' expectations and communicate with them most honestly."


New information about Dynasty Warriors Origins

"Dynasty Warriors: Origins" producer Zhuang Zhiyan was interviewed by Japanese media Famitsu and talked about game design concepts and other contents.

He said that Dynasty Warriors: Origins is positioned as a legitimate sequel, not a spin-off. As for why the game is not named after a serial number, it is because this new game is very different from the recent works in the series. The word "Origins" in the title means that the theme of the new game is to return to the origin. It not only provides more soldiers, battlefield realism and the pleasure of mowing the grass, but also the strategy of the battle is the focus of this game. A rough calculation shows that the number of miscellaneous soldiers on the same screen in this game is 10 times more than that in Dynasty Warriors 8, which is 1,000 soldiers, so there are more opportunities to kill thousands of people.

In terms of the plot, the original character loses his memory and does not remember anything in this world, which means that the plot will not be based on the original work at all. The game has a solid protagonist as the core of the story. The appearance of some characters will change according to their age and status, and they will not use the same image.

As the game progresses, the protagonist can unlock a variety of weapons; the game retains the horse system; the game has a morale mechanism that affects attack power and attack frequency.
