Chapter 424 It's so beautiful
. The next day
, more and more players have read the CGN review.
The impact is quite big.
Whether it is domestic or overseas,
doubts about Linmu Studio's console have resurfaced.
After all, CGN is still quite famous. This is the first time that Linmu Studio has sent a game for early review. Linmu Studio's games have all received high ratings on CGN before.
So players are more inclined to trust CGN.
On this day,
not only was the pre-sale of the switch affected, but there were even many pre-order players who wanted to refund their deposits...
But Linmu Studio also took action on this day.
They launched a new version of the Vaporwave game platform. Under the original game rating mechanism, they added the "recent score" function and stated that all Linmu Studio's games in the future will be based on the ratings of Vaporwave game platform players.
This is a response.
There are some effects.
But not very big.
It just reduced the doubts a little, and some players who questioned CGN's ratings were a little louder.
On the other hand,
after hearing what Kevin and James said, the editor-in-chief of CGN
didn't know why.
I always feel uneasy.
So at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time in North America, when I arrived at the company late at night in China, I asked about the reaction of Linmu Studio and asked if they had called.
His secretary told him about the actions of Linmu Studio.
Then, when asked if the editor-in-chief had called, he shook his head gently.
Upon hearing this, the editor-in-chief of CGN was relieved immediately.
Fortunately.
The tricks of Linmu Studio's Vaporwave game platform that pointed fingers at others and scolded others did not have much impact on them...
However.
He found it strange that Linmu Studio did not call to angrily scold.
Could it be that Wayne really got lucky?
They themselves think that the escort masterpieces of the host are average?
So in the face of this score, they can only point fingers at others and scold others, but did not call to question?
It seems that Wayne really played the game seriously...
Originally.
After hearing what James and Kevin said, the editor-in-chief of CGN also thought of a whole set of countermeasures.
That is, after Wayne's review was released and caused a greater impact, he would issue a notice saying that it was only a preliminary score.
If the console and the game are released and the ratings are significantly different from those of other peers,
he will release James and Kevin's reviews and set them as the final ratings...
This should minimize the impact. Anyway, the early ratings are not very low, and the reviews do mention the advantages.
If the situation is more serious, if it really doesn't work, Wayne can resign and take the blame...
We ourselves question the professionalism of the review editor! Then fire him! You can't say anything, right?
This is his plan.
After all, he is not a fool and has a lot of experience in dealing with setbacks.
But now it seems
that there is no need to make such a big fuss...
The editor-in-chief of CGN looked at the switch console that he had not had time to take home to play on the table and shook his head.
Fortunately, it is an oriental game company...
Otherwise, it would not end so easily...
At the same time,
outside the editor-in-chief's office,
Kevin and James also saw the actions of Linmu Studio.
"It seems that there is not much reaction... Strange, don't they want to get involved?"
James looked at the posts questioning the switch on the forum, and suddenly realized: "No, they may be thinking that players will give fair evaluations! That's why they didn't say much! Fortunately, CGN is really lucky!"
"No."
Kevin shook his head gently on the side, and then sighed: "I have a hunch that the other party will not let it go..."
...
China.
One night passed.
January 15th finally arrived.
The switch console ushered in the release date.
Although there were some accidents in the past two days, CGN's evaluation poured cold water on all the expectant players.
But most domestic players are still interested in the console.
They thought that even if the console this time is not good, Linmu Studio will definitely be able to optimize it in the future, and finally chose to pay the balance.
Soon.
At 10 o'clock in the morning.
The first player in China who got the console appeared.
His name is Ma Yuwen, an ordinary office worker. Because his home happened to be near the video game store, and he was very familiar with the boss, he directly ordered a product and got it in advance.
He returned home with a small box.
As soon as he closed the door,
he couldn't wait to unpack the box.
As soon as he took out the host from the promotional video... Ma Yuwen's face immediately showed excitement.
Although after reading CGN's review, Ma Yuwen was also a little worried about the quality of the Linmu Studio console and the escort masterpiece.
But I have to admit.
The moment he opened the box and picked up the console, it was really exciting.
He couldn't wait to play with the console for a while, tried to disassemble the handle, and when he was almost satisfied, he put down the console, picked up the base, and fiddled with the connection.
Soon.
He followed the instructions, got everything done, picked up the console again and pressed the power button.
After a simple setup.
Ma Yuwen picked up one of the game discs and opened it.
"I hope it won't disappoint people too much..."
After the excitement of unboxing gradually faded.
Real problems emerged.
Although this thing is much cheaper than other consoles, it is not cheap.
If the game is really as average as CGN's review.
That would be a blood loss...
It is precisely because of this concern that he originally planned to buy all the escort masterpieces, but now he has only bought two games.
One is "The Legend of Zelda" and the other is "Mario Kart".
The former has always been the center of publicity, the escort masterpiece that Linmu Studio values most. Although the score is not high, there are still some praises in the comments, so Ma Yuwen still bought it.
As for the latter, although the review said that adding props is not good, for some reason, he still thinks the gameplay in the promotional video is very interesting, so he gritted his teeth and bought it.
And what he opened now is the physical disc of "The Legend of Zelda".
Take out the cassette and insert it into the console.
Ma Yuwen imitated the appearance of the promotional video, holding both sides of the console with both hands, then adjusted his sitting position and started the game.
The game officially started.
In the darkness.
Light appeared.
A halo, bursting out golden bright light, just like the light seen by a person who has been in a coma for a long time when he just woke up.
Then.
"Wake up..."
"Link, wake up."
Accompanied by the shouting of "Link, wake up".
The protagonist Link woke up from the altar.
A dazzling blue light appeared on the screen, and then, like a person waking up for the first time after a big dream, the picture gradually became clear, and a strange-shaped, lamp-like thing appeared above his head...
Link stood up from the altar.
The camera slowly pulled away.
The full view of the altar also appeared on the screen.
The altar was unique in shape, with winding and twisted patterns engraved on it, and the blue light flickered, like breathing, with a full sense of shape.
The entire enclosed space was hazy, like a fantasy dream.
This was just the opening.
This unique art style allowed Ma Yuwen to enter the game.
After a short CG.
Players can control the protagonist Link.
Ma Yuwen controlled the protagonist, like a child. He did not immediately follow the prompts to go to the strange-shaped stone platform, but looked around at the magnificent and fantastic scenes.
Until he felt that he had seen enough.
He took the Shika Stone according to the instructions and continued to move forward.
He opened two treasure chests along the way and got the initial clothes and pants.
The system prompted how to put them on.
Then he opened the door.
The light shone through the door.
Ma Yuwen ran towards the light source as he could. He controlled the protagonist Link, and while getting familiar with the functions of running, climbing walls, and switching perspectives, he climbed up a large staircase without much effort and continued to walk out with the sunlight.
The moment he walked out of the cave,
the character was out of Ma Yuwen's control.
Link faced the light and walked towards the outside world.
Then,
the scenery of the initial plateau came into view.
The camera zoomed in, as if watching Link, and then the camera slowly pulled up, taking in the scenery in the distance, the scenery Link saw, all into the camera.
From afar, there was a vast sky, a blurred mountain line, the rising afterglow, a volcano spewing black smoke, and a flowing black castle.
And at the foot of the mountain, there were lush trees and vast grasslands...
The camera moved slowly.
Everything was shown to the players in front of the screen.
Quiet music sounded, and under the fantastic and magnificent scenery, the name of the game "The Legend of Zelda" slowly appeared in the lower right corner of the game.
The scenery at this moment.
Really... too beautiful!
This sense of camera... is simply invincible!
Ma Yuwen saw this shot and subconsciously plugged the console into the dock.
The picture immediately appeared on the larger screen.
But he didn't care about the smooth switching.
Now he had only one idea.
CGN... You call this a bad picture!?
Sorry, I disappoint you
