Chapter 232 Surrealist Dystopia
After carefully watching the internal trailer video, he had a better understanding of the game, and it became easier to ask questions.

Xiaoxia: "It can be seen that Colombia is a beautiful city in the sky, a city floating on the clouds. The city is clean and tidy, the citizens are bright and beautiful, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces. Compared with what we have The Suzaku City where I live, and the Columbia City in "BioShock Infinite", are simply a perfect utopia!"

Han Qi: "I don't deny that Colombia looks perfect. This city in the sky is indeed built according to the requirements of Utopia."

Xiaoxia: "But even I can see some weird places in this city. I believe players who care about the game will also see it after the interview. Xiaoxia, I am here to ask questions for players in advance. The main thing is Columbia, the city in the sky that shocked us."

Han Qi: "The main stage of the game is in Colombia, and questions about "BioShock Infinite" should also be concentrated in this city."

Xiaoxia: "According to the background story, Columbia City was established by the Lighthouse State, one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time. It was only later that Columbia declared independence and left the Lighthouse State. The city separated from the country. This is our cyberspace. The current status of star popularity is just like our Suzaku City."

"It is normal for Colombia to break away from the country as a super city - although it is more than 100 years earlier than the actual wave of urban independence."

"However, this super city of Colombia, which broke away from the country, was flying the flag of the lighthouse country at that time everywhere. This seems a bit contrary to harmony, or is this the normal background of the times at that time?"

Han Qi: "Perhaps the people of Cyberstar don't understand the ethos of the times at that time, but the era of the story of "BioShock Infinite" is the stage when human life is moving towards modernization. Every people is proud of their country. Every country is desperately displaying its own civilization and modernization—even if behind this civilization is the oppression of the people at the bottom and the aggression of backward countries. But at least in bright places, every civilized modern country is like this Advanced, and the people are proud of their country."

"It's like the people in many cities are proud of their cities now."

Xiaoxia: "The people... are proud of their country and city?"

Han Qi: "Yes, the people of that era were proud of their country, and the people of Sky City Colombia were still being promoted and proud of their city after they left the country."

"In order to promote the legitimacy of Colombia, Comstock, the ruler of Colombia, does not say to his own people that they have betrayed their country, but that they are ahead of their time, so they are temporarily separated from the ground state. They are still respectable patriots, not traitors who betrayed the lighthouse country at that time."

Xiaoxia: "Oh, I understand, the city of Columbia is separated from their country - Lighthouse Country. But in order to find a just excuse for their actions, so they, their city and their leaders, including the whole city The residents are shaped to be patriots who are ahead of the times and will not join forces with the corrupt ground regime."

"This can also explain why it is reasonable to say that a city in the sky that is separated from the country and is advanced like a utopia, but flags are flying everywhere. Trumpets are shouting radical slogans everywhere. It turns out that this is the case, all It is the propaganda of Comstock, the ruler of Colombia."

Han Qi: "That's right, and you can see that in addition to the flags flying everywhere in Columbia City, there are also a large number of religious buildings. Comstock is worshiped like a god."

Xiaoxia: "We are all familiar with this routine. The ruler packs himself up as a god and uses religion to brainwash the people. Many games have this setting."

Han Qi: "Well, these are also the two biggest characteristics of the utopian city of Colombia. And for Colombia, which is based on the extreme ideas deliberately created by these two rulers, their utopia is destined to be just an illusion."

Xiaoxia: "Dystopian? Yes, "BioShock Infinite" must be a dystopian game."

Han Qi: "Yes, a common routine. The hypocritical ruler packs himself up as the leader who leads the people, and the protagonist in the game will eventually end this lie."

Xiaoxia: "Let me think about Colombia. He is a city that preaches patriotism and piety, but in fact they betrayed their own country at that time. It even seems that Colombia is one of the people who can control the entire planet and become a high-ranking ruler and oppressor."

"At the same time, extreme religious sentiments are also prevalent in Colombia. Their leaders are worshiped as gods. This has obviously deviated from the scope of normal religion. It is a bit similar to the city of the diocesan, and this is also the main character of the villain in a game. standard."

"And I also noticed that Columbia City is all white. Although I haven't seen the subsequent development of the plot, I think this must be some kind of foreshadowing, right?"

Han Qi: "I can only say that it is worthy of the game Chivalrous Island. It is really well-informed. One of the main contents of the game is to wander in Colombia, walking in an ideal utopia that seems to be like a paradise, and see the city step by step. The darkness behind it will expose the lies step by step, and shatter the entire utopia step by step!"

"And the main line of this dystopia is also one of the main plots of the game."

Xiaoxia: "It sounds like a very profound idea. It will be very difficult to express such a profound idea with a game."

"I heard before that the new game created by Mr. Han aims to become a game known as the existence of the Ninth Art. But now it seems that if such a profound concept can be expressed in a high-quality way, a Ninth Art game will be created. The game is not exaggerating!"

Han Qi: "Of course, I have pursuits in making games. Especially considering the current situation of Cyberstar, I want to combine the ideas of games with social reality."

"BioShock Infinite is a steampunk-themed game full of romantic imagination, but it is also a surrealist game with profound implications for social reality."

"Romantic and realistic, the two can exist at the same time. The job of our ghost is to combine the two and present them in front of the players, presenting a visual feast and an auditory feast for all players. A feast and a feast for the mind.”
