Surprisingly, Lu Ban’s new equipment [Morning Star] received very few reviews.
The topic on Weibo is still abuzz, but it is basically discussed by online players who did not go to the video game exhibition.
And no one who actually tried the game spoke up.
This feels very strange.
If Lu Ban's equipment was really cool and the game was really fun, it would have been praised a long time ago.
If it were the other way around, someone would definitely come and criticize Lu Ban.
This silence now makes people feel very uneasy.
It was like the sky was filled with dark clouds, as if a violent storm would hit at any moment, but there was no lightning or thunder.
No one knows whether Lu Ban succeeded or failed this time.
It's just that some people have discovered some clues.
For example, Zheng Li discovered that Lao Qiezi, a UP host in the gaming area that he had followed before, seemed a little strange after attending the Yannan Electronic Game Expo.
Apart from the two VLOGs of participating in the exhibition, Lao Qiezi has not updated any other videos. Although canceling is the norm for UP hosts, Lao Qiezi did participate in the trial play of Lu Ban's [Morning Star]. Such a big thing, he didn't even mention it?
Moreover, Zheng Li had watched Lao Qiezi's live broadcast. Usually, he would broadcast playing some recently released games, but since he came back from the Yannan Electronic Game Exhibition, he never played games in the live broadcast. Most of the live broadcasts were just chatting and other short-lived projects.
Is it because Lu Ban’s game is too outrageous that caused Lao Qiezi to lose confidence in the gaming industry?
Or was it like Lu Ban’s previous movie, which brought such an ultimate shock that they can no longer even behave like human beings?
Zheng Li carefully searched the Internet for reviews of Lu Ban's [Morning Star]. Most of the players who had participated in the small black room test did not express any opinions, but there were exceptions.
Zheng Li searched and found the comments of a netizen named [Melancholy Blues].
This netizen first posted his ticket for attending the Yannan Electronic Game Expo, photos of himself queuing in a small dark room, etc., saying that he was not an RPG, but had indeed been to the game expo and participated in a trial version.
The article is normal up to this point.
Zheng Li was a little confused when he went on.
"…The moment I put on the helmet and said the start command, the whole world became different."
“I felt like I was in the universe, surrounded by colorful stars. This feeling was so real that I forgot I was in the exhibition hall.”
"Then, under the guidance of the staff, I tried one of the projects. By the way, there are three applications to choose from this time: forest, sea, and snowfield. I chose the sea."
"After choosing the sea, I immediately heard the sound of waves, and then felt a cool touch. I lowered my head and saw the white foamy sea water submerging my feet. The soft and wet sand was under my feet. I looked forward and saw the blue sea and blue sky. I was actually standing on the beach."
"This feeling is indescribable. I bent down and reached out to touch the sand. I could even see small crabs in the sand. The rough gravel just slid through my fingertips. I scooped up the sea water again. It was icy cold. I even took a sip. The sea water with a strong salty smell just flowed down my throat."
“It was amazing, I felt like I was really out in the world, on the beach.”
"After 10 minutes of the experience, I took off the helmet and everything seemed so unreal, like I had just had a dream."
"In just a few seconds, I went from the bright sunshine back to the exhibition hall, from fantasy back to reality. For the first time, I felt that the real world was so small, closed and dull."
"I walked out of the small dark room and looked at the people outside. For the first time, I realized the limitations of this world."
"But what I feel more is a kind of sadness, the sadness of being a gamer."
"Why did I have to encounter such a device at such a time? I could have played those canned games to kill time, waiting for a few years for an excellent masterpiece, and searched for those exquisite independent games for fun. But now, after experiencing Morningstar, the world is different for me."
"Before Morningstar was officially released, I had already lost interest in all games. Why is this happening? If I have committed a crime, please let God punish me instead of letting me play Morningstar in advance."
After reading this comment, Zheng Li had only one thought in his mind.
“Isn’t this exaggerating too much?”
He looked down at the comments and found that they were similar to his own thoughts.
[According to him, the helmet is worn on the head, and the person is lying on the chair. How can he feel the beach and sea water under his feet, or even bend down to drink water?]
[If I hadn’t experienced VR equipment before, I would have believed your lies and felt cold. If VR could reach this level, I would do a handstand and eat the keyboard right there! ]
[It's too fake. To be honest, if you say that the picture is very good, the resolution is very high, and the frame rate is very stable, I think it's still acceptable. After all, it's a trial in a small dark room, and no one can see it for the time being. Now you say that you can touch the sea water and there are small crabs. This is too fake. It's fake at first glance. ]
[Is the threshold for writing soft articles so low now? All kinds of monsters and demons are trying to get involved. Look at what you said. Will the people believe it? ]
Zheng Li also felt that what was described in the article did not seem like a game, but more like the kind of brain tube insertion in science fiction novels. The problem was that if this technology was really developed, wouldn't it be a bit too extravagant for Lu Ban to only use it to make games?
He suspected that this person might have copied it from some science fiction novel.
At the same time, Lao Qiezi also saw this article.
After reading it, he was very sure that this person, like himself, had also experienced the [Morning Star].
Because of this, Lao Qiezi knew that if he told the truth about his feelings, others would definitely not believe it.
This was partly the cause of his distress.
Why is this happening?
Encountering an ultimate and invincible gaming device and gaining an unprecedented and unparalleled gaming experience, these two happy things overlapped and will ferment into more happy and joyful times, which is how it should have been.
But Lao Qiezi couldn't tell anyone about this experience, it was too painful.
Now, whether it is the people who have experienced [Morning Star], or the people who think that [Morning Star] is bound to fail, or the people who are just watching for fun, their inner thoughts are surprisingly consistent.
So how long will it take for Morningstar to be released?
What exactly is Lu Ban’s game?
And soon, Lu Ban gave the answer.
On January 1st, [Morning Star] will be available in the country.
