2023 is definitely an extraordinary year for the game market and players, this year there are not only long-awaited games such as "Tears of the Zelda Kingdom", but also many garbage works that have broken through the glasses, and a survival game called "The Eve of the Catastrophe" that was released not long ago can definitely draw a strong stroke in the history of games, but this stroke will forever become a historical shame.
At the end of 2021, the publisher of this game released the first trailer of this work, at that time, the stunning picture effects made players fully feel the charm of the Unreal Engine 5, and the gameplay of survival online also attracted many players.
Just when players thought that this game would not appear again, the official released new news, saying that the game will be upgraded to the engine, that is, from Unreal Engine 5 to Unreal Engine 6, this news at least makes players conclude that this game is indeed in development.
In December 2023, this game was finally released, priced at 137 yuan, after players with high expectations entered the game, there were no surprises, only surprise and disappointment, and the poor game picture was even reminiscent of the mobile game picture quality, as a third-person game in 2023, there was no operation to climb over obstacles, and the brainless AI would only run after the player infinitely, and various disastrous game effects made this game the target of public criticism.
There are also many examples of games with unsatisfactory game quality at the beginning of release, such as "No Man's Sky", "Cyberpunk 2077" and other games,It can also be called a disaster when it is released,But under the gradual repair and maintenance of the official,,It has gradually rejuvenated and become a generation of masterpieces,So players in this work also have the same expectations,Think that the official will gradually bring the game back on track,But just four days after the game was released,A news that the official operator went bankrupt and disbanded completely ruined the future of this game,It also slapped the players who bought the game。 This kind of game and manufacturer that cheats money and feelings will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of games.
At present, the cost of game production is gradually rising due to the upgrade of the graphics and gameplay, and it is no longer something that ordinary small studios can afford. The developer of the game "On the Eve of the Catastrophe" did not have any previous experience in the development of triple-A games, but this kind of behavior of collecting money and running away is tantamount to blackmail, and it can only be said that players must keep their eyes open before buying the game in the future.
