Chapter 445 Come in and experience it!
Several rounds of moon waxing and waning,
after a while,
The reputation of "Homeward Journey Radio" is getting better and better, and the entire comment section has completely changed its tone.
"I declare that 'Homeward Bound Radio' is truly the best of the year!"
"It's not just your best, it's Kitayama's best in his career!"
"I've been playing for three weeks and haven't saved a single mission, but I still log in every day!"
"This is the first time I cried like a baby in a game. Failure is not a flaw in the game design, but the truth of rescue."
“…”
So, after two or three weeks of quarreling,
Players themselves pushed the download volume of "Homeward Journey Radio" to the top of the arena game charts.
And it's still a huge lead.
Lu Ming also watched all this and his mood gradually calmed down.
He no longer wondered whether this was an overreaction.
He no longer makes a fuss about what he can’t get!
Anyway, the money that should be earned has been earned.
The emotional value that should be collected has been collected.
Word of mouth also unexpectedly soared.
“… Metaphysics.”
Lu Ming sighed again and decided to let himself go.
…
Time flies and it is December.
The weather is getting colder, and the air in Shanghai is a little more chilly.
As Lu Ming said before,
"Homeward Journey Radio" is the last game released by Whale Leap this year.
On the whale watching side,
At this moment, another real big move has been quietly brewing.
The Whale Fall Project, led by Yao Wenqing and managed by the Whale Watching Laboratory, has been in preparation for so long and has finally reached a critical juncture.
The Whalefall virtual game cabin is finally available!
Thanks to two inspirations,
The whale fall was completed ahead of schedule.
It's not an experimental product, not a beta version,
The current Whale Fall has gone through a lot of testing and iterations.
This is a device that can be directly mass-produced, used, and released.
So, in early December, Jingyue officially announced on Weibo:
【Whale Leap·Whale Watching Lab New Product Launch】
【Time: December 30】
Any adjective would be a pale shortcoming of what it is.
Any verb is a feeble speculation as to what it can do.
So, we only have one sentence in mind: Come in and experience it.
As soon as the title and content came out, the entire Internet was in an uproar.
But what is strange is that Jingyue’s promotion this time was extremely restrained.
There is no long introduction.
No cool promotional videos.
There were no previews of the demo footage leaked in advance.
It didn't even say what the product was.
The theme of the press conference is just four words.
【Come in and experience it.】
The accompanying picture shows a half-open door, shrouded in white fog, making it impossible to see inside.
Then, the comment section below immediately flooded the screen:
"Are you being mysterious again?"
“Although there is white space, isn’t this too much?”
"Is the Whale Watching Lab finally going to show off its big move?"
"Come in and experience it? What do you want to experience? Eat whale?"
"Holding a press conference on New Year's Eve? Can't we even count down?"
"Exactly. I have to watch the fireworks, so I don't have time for the press conference!"
"Is this going to compete with New Year's Eve for ratings?"
"Is there a possibility that New Year's Eve is on the 31st?"
"A new product from Whale Watching Labs? So is this the release of Starship 2? Or is this a new game?"
"Is it a new game? Or hardware? Or VR? AR? MR? XR?"
"It can't be a new game. Whale Leap has never held a press conference for a new game!"
"My guess is it's something related to Starship. After all, I haven't seen Lao Yao in a while. He must be planning something big!"
Just a short Weibo post piqued everyone's interest.
Soon, almost all the leading media and well-known anchors on the entire network received invitations.
The design of the invitation to the press conference was also extremely simple.
A thick envelope with a dark blue gradient, like the deep sea.
After opening it, there were only a few lines of text inside:
【Come in and experience it.】
【Whale Watching Lab|New Product Launch】
[Press Conference Time: December 30, 19:00]
【Speaker: Yao Wenqing】
Turning over the back, the content is still brief:
All descriptions are pale.
【Whale Leap invites you to experience the infinite together】
When Chu Feng opened the express in the live broadcast room, he was stunned for a long time.
He read the text in the invitation letter at a glance.
But the more I look at it, the more mysterious it seems.
"Are all descriptions pale?"
"What does this mean?"
Chu Feng held up the invitation letter and frowned at the live camera.
"Brothers, do you understand?"
"Whale Leap gave too little information about their press conference this time!"
The barrage exploded instantly:
"Whale Leap's cool move is here again!"
"This slogan is so abstract that it surpasses the level of art students."
"Another day of envying Brother Chu! I can't believe how a game streamer like you could even receive an invitation!"
"The first batch of users of Xingzhou have received it! It's normal to send it to Brother Chu!"
"So the current situation is that the specific situation depends on the situation of Whale Leap."
Chu Feng looked at the invitation letter and began to speculate.
"Brothers, is this a game? Or hardware? Or is Jingyue planning to open an esports club? Actually, I personally think this should be a VR racing cockpit!"
“After all, my personal understanding of the game is very limited, but my understanding of Whale Leap is very comprehensive, so this time it must be the peripherals!
"'Homeward Bound Radio' is so popular right now, it's very likely that they'll release a peripheral to support the racing game!"
There are also people who agree with the comments.
"Brother Chu's analysis makes sense!"
"I bet a bottle of fat otaku happy water that there will be another big event on New Year's Eve!"
"I saw a blogger talking about making a virtual gaming cabin. That's ridiculous. How can technology really develop that fast?"
"Fuck, don't be ridiculous, are they going to create a consciousness upload?"
"Impossible! I work in this industry, and let me put it this way: a conceptual product like a virtual gaming cabin won't appear for at least another 30 years!"
But guesswork is guesswork,
Everyone knows one thing:
Whale Leap, what we are going to do this time is definitely a big event.
…
On the other hand, Tencent’s senior management was also worried.
Because they also received an invitation letter from Jingyue.
At this moment, in the office of Tengqu CEO Ma,
Vice President Qi Wei was looking at Mr. Ma with a hint of worry.
"Boss Ma, are we going this time?"
"I've inquired, and it seems Whale Leap has sent invitations to all the big and small manufacturers in the gaming industry!"
"We didn't go last time they released the Starship. Should we send someone this time?"
"After all, there are a lot of people outside watching our movements. If we pretend not to see them and don't go... wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
Mr. Ma narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Indeed, it would be unreasonable not to go. Since they have invited the entire industry, if we completely miss it, we will look guilty."
"Then this time, Qi Wei, you go!"
"ah?"
Qi Wei was a little stunned for a moment.
"I'll go?"
"right,"
Mr. Ma's tone left no room for doubt.
"Theory guides practice, and cognition influences behavior. Going to the site and bringing back some firsthand information is better than us guessing blindly in the office."
"After all, Jingyue is really good at making things happen. They held a press conference, didn't explain anything clearly, and kept it so mysterious, yet the hype is still so high!"
"We also need to learn this! Look at the promotion and marketing of our previous games. The process and genre were too simple. Our operators only knew how to throw money at it!"
Qi Wei's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Boss Ma, if I go and don't see anything... wouldn't it seem like a wasted trip?"
"After all, their hardware approach may not be applicable to us!"
Mr. Ma waved his hand.
"It's okay. No matter what they do, you'll gain something if you go and see it! Maybe Jingyue's product this time isn't suitable for the general public, but they definitely have their own audience!"
"So, even if you go and it's all in vain, it's better than not going at all. Remember, a mistake made for the sake of not making a mistake isn't really a mistake!"
"Even if Whale Leap's press conference ends with just fireworks, we can at least learn a little bit about how they create the atmosphere."
"We at Tencent are now so big, but we've made a lot of mistakes."
"Among our competitors, it's not just Jingyue. Even some small factories are bold and daring in experimenting and taking risks. What about us? We calculate our accounts carefully and avoid pitfalls diligently, but in the end, many opportunities are taken advantage of by others."
"So, what you hear and see on site is much more useful than what we deduce in the office."
"Just go and take a look, and learn well!"
