Chapter 339 Is it that serious?
"Just because of a game?"
Zhang Jianghu looked at the secretary.
The secretary nodded with a complicated expression.
"A game from Linmu Studio?" Zhang Jianghu asked again.
The secretary nodded again.
Zhang Jianghu's expression became complicated when he heard this.
It's not just overseas.
The popularity of the Reflecta console in China has been affected even more...
because the domestic stand-alone market is not that big, and compared to online games, it is even smaller.
It has improved during this period.
But many potential stand-alone users are users of the Vaporwave platform...
Users of the Vaporwave platform obviously trust Linmu Studio more, and the game announced by Linmu Studio is really eye-catching and eye-catching.
In comparison, Reflecta is still a theme that many major game companies have done before.
It is normal that the popularity of their consoles and escort masterpieces will decline, and players will turn their attention to the new works of Linmu Studio.
But Zhang Jianghu doesn't think so.
When he heard the news, his first thought was... Is it that serious?
When Lin Yao hung up the phone directly, he knew that the other party was angry.
But there is no need... Are they really in a hurry to launch a stand-alone game to compete with Reflecta?
Is it really necessary?
Zhang Jianghu was a little dissatisfied.
He really didn't believe that there was such a coincidence. Reflecta's console was about to be released, and the other party just happened to have a new game to be released...
He felt that the biggest possibility was that Lin Yao was expressing his dissatisfaction and forcibly brought forward the game that was originally planned to be launched on Reflecta Zodiac 1, and then used the influence of the Vaporwave platform to force him to put pressure on him.
But why?
Reflecta is now wrapped in the general trend and is about to be released. The other two overseas console manufacturers can't stop it.
Can Linmu Studio stop it?
Yes, Linmu Studio used the Vaporwave platform to forcibly grab some popularity, but it will soon pass. After all, it's just a game, and players will eventually come back to pay attention to the console.
Why bother to be angry?
"...Okay, I got it. Go out and find the person in charge of the publicity department. We will work harder on the publicity in the last two days."
Zhang Jianghu shook his head, then collected his thoughts, looked up at the secretary and said.
The secretary opened his mouth, hesitated, and seemed to want to say something.
But in the end, he didn't say it, but turned and walked out of the office.
Zhang Jianghu watched the secretary leave, then turned his head to look at the screen and opened the Vaporwave game platform.
Until now.
Zhang Jianghu has not seen the game trailer of Linmu Studio. When
he heard the news, the first thing he did was to ask the secretary to report...
Now he finally has time.
He plans to take a look.
Open the witch's store page, and then click on the trailer.
Zhang Jianghu leaned back in his chair, ready to take a good look at what game Linmu Studio hurriedly launched to compete with Reflecta.
The trailer was only three minutes long.
Soon, it was over.
And when he watched halfway through.
Zhang Jianghu's spine left the back of the chair, with a look of shock on his face.
...
Although Zhang Jianghu was very confident.
But the situation did not develop as he imagined.
Linmu Studio's new work did not steal the momentary popularity, but... stole all the popularity.
At least in China, it stole all the popularity.
And it has a tendency to intensify.
The main reason is that Lin Yao really... understands players too well.
After she confirmed that players were interested in the steampunk style, she immediately released more setting pictures, not the setting pictures of the game, because the game still needs to be sold, and releasing more information now is not worth the loss.
But she can choose to draw some new steampunk style pictures herself.
So soon.
Lin Yao released a bunch of steampunk style setting pictures.
There are transmission control mechanisms composed of complex gears, machinery full of rough beauty, violent aesthetic weapons, and the combination of machinery and people, and the coexistence of backward and advanced black technology.
Because there is electricity in "Witch", it slightly affects the performance of steampunk style.
After all, simple electrical signals can transmit various complex instructions to control machines over long distances. In this case, using bulky and complex gear connecting rods to transmit instructions will look very stupid...
Lin Yao released so many setting pictures this time, which can be regarded as making up for it off the field.
As for the effect.
It is very good.
The pictures released by Lin Yao opened the players' eyes.
The backward and advanced coexist, full of imagination.
After seeing these pictures.
Single-player game players are looking forward to the so-called steampunk style work of Linmu Studio.
There was even a situation where they left a message saying that they would die without "The Witch"...
After all, there is no game like "The Witch" in the world, the temperament is really too special.
In comparison.
Reflecta's escort masterpieces have all lost their luster, and have even been labeled as being highly homogenized.
At least, compared to "The Witch", their escort masterpieces really don't live up to the term "escort masterpiece"...
On the other hand.
Putting aside the setting.
The trailer for "The Witch" is also very well done. As the first game in China to use motion capture of real film and television stars, both the storyboard and the atmosphere are great.
Although it is only a few minutes long, it creates a very strong sense of suspense.
The actors' demeanor is like real people, but they have an indescribable temperament more than real people.
Many players are impressed by the artists who appeared in the trailer.
Especially the male protagonist, and the female character who appeared at the end.
In Lin Yao's previous life, I was particularly impressed by a CG, which was called... the cavalry on the back of the dragon.
I believe many people have a deep impression of the white hair in it.
The day after the release of the trailer for "The Witch", it received the same treatment as the cavalry on the back of the dragon in Lin Yao's previous life.
It began to spread virally.
Many non-gamers have seen related screenshots and dynamic signatures on forums that have nothing to do with games.
The cavalry on the dragon's back made a virtual character deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In "The Witch", real-life motion capture actors have received attention.
The one who felt this the most was Zhang Seng.
Although he was an artist before, he had never been famous...
so he was like a nobody.
Every day when he took the bus to the company to punch in, no one would pay attention to him.
But this day,
when he took the bus to the company,
he found that there were seven or eight eyes on him...
In the end, there was even someone who didn't know where he had seen CG, but didn't know it was a game trailer, asking him if he had participated in a CG movie and what the movie was called...
Zhang Seng was confused, and it took a long time for him to react. He explained to the other party that it was a game trailer with a smile.
When he heard him say this, the person who asked him if he had participated in the movie didn't react. The other few people who didn't say anything, but whose eyes were always on him, were excited. They surrounded him and asked if the game he participated in was called "The Witch".
After getting a definite answer,
these people began to ask about the details of the game.
Zhang Seng was besieged directly on the bus...
He was confused and said several times that he had signed a confidentiality agreement and could not say anything, but those people still asked and would not let him get off the bus.
Finally, Zhang Seng yelled and let go, and barely squeezed out of the bus and escaped.
"Damn... is it that serious!?"
Zhang Seng watched the bus leave and complained, feeling that it was a bit outrageous.
He had also seen the promotional video, and although he personally participated in it, he was still amazed when he saw the finished product.
But... it doesn't have to be like this, right? He is just a motion capture actor!
