Defense Grid 2 Special Edition MULTi11-PLAZA-0daytown

在今年年初，开发商Hidden Path公布了旗下塔防游戏续作《防御阵型2（Defense Grid 2）》，该作预计今秋登陆PC、PS4和Xbox One平台。日前，官方又为我们带来了该作的最新情报，据悉，本作的玩法更适合2人合作。

《防御阵型2》于2014 E3上在其PS4平台演示了该游戏两人合作的多人模式。当你偶尔想放松下心情或是想追求更刺激的挑战，你最好的选择就是邀上一位朋友一起坐在沙发上享受这款游戏。

基于原版的《防御阵型》，《防御阵型2》的焦点是抵御外星人的入侵以及阻止他们盗取你的权力核心。Hidden Path 在《防御阵型2》里设计的合作模式很广泛，玩家们有绝对的自由去设置任务的困难级别。我们和该游戏的制片人Michael Meischeid在505 Games一起体验了该游戏四种难度级别中最简单的级别。他为我们每一个人设置了单独的分数和资源，当然，你也可以选择单独的资源来提升游戏的挑战性，然而如果大家都想生存下去的话就不得不组队进行游戏了。

Meischeid透露，《防御阵型2》双人模式的难度系数比单人模式大的多。所以游戏中最具挑战性的方式就是在游戏难度选项中选择“精英难度”，通过合作共享资源从而进行游戏。该游戏的简单级别对于我们来说只是小菜一碟，Meischeid同样向我们展示了其简单模式的防御塔和其能力，然而该攻击速度实在是太慢了。所有的塔都从1级开始可以升到3级，每次升级的费用都翻了一番。

该游戏中最有价值物品不是武器——而是塔的布局，其目的是：为你提供一个供你在更好角度建造攻击塔的高站台，封锁过道供你将外星人赶到你所选定的区域之内。临时塔可以减缓敌人的速度，阻碍高级别的敌人在地图上奔跑，激光塔对敌人造成伤害，它会持续攻击范围内的敌人，降低敌人的生命值。在所有塔防游戏中，该游戏的选项更多，通过制定游戏战略进行合理的部署后，玩家们可以从中挖掘出更多的乐趣。

THE ART OF DEFENSE GRID 2 digital art book celebrates the talents and efforts of the people responsible for creating the visuals of the game. It is an insight of the concepts and variable directions that the team explored during the game’s creation. The journey in visual exploration is a winding and strange path at times. This book revisits that journey, come along and enjoy it.

THE MAKING OF DEFENSE GRID 2 brings you behind-the-scenes of the creation of a modern video game.
Over nearly two years and hundreds of hours of interviews, veteran video game journalist Russ Pitts (Polygon, The Escapist) has been given total access to every stage of development, and dives deep into the technological innovation, creative artistry and hard-nosed business that combine over weeks, months and years to make a game.
From moments of startling inspiration to times of crushing stress, the author has been present for every aspect of production — major milestones, critical beta tests and sometimes contentious design meetings.

THE MAKING OF DEFENSE GRID 2 is based on the article series written by Pitts for Polygon, with expanded interviews and never-before-seen material. The result is a look unlike any other into the hidden world of game development and the high stakes gamble of making games.

A MATTER OF ENDURANCE: Written by two-time Hugo award winning author Mary Robinette Kowal and performed by the English cast, A Matter of Endurance is an audio play staring the characters from Defense Grid: Containment (AI General Fletcher, AI General Cai, and Commander Simon Ritter) and introduces Maralon’s Governor Teydell as you (the Commander) and your AI companions journey from the destruction on Maralon to the destination of the Outer Colonies where the events of DG2 take place.
