Chapter 549 Hehehe
"After the foreshadowing of the two colleagues above, I think everyone should be able to guess what this time is."
At the E-sports Festival,
Zhong Xiu appeared on the screen.
Compared with Zhu Nianqiao, he has another different style.
Although he is less than 30 years old now,
he is very calm and sophisticated.
"Yes, a new surprise."
Zhong Xiu smiled and gave the answer, while keeping the suspense: "You may still remember that Linmu Studio has produced a relatively special game... a game based on the element of sword and halberd combat.
In that game, there is a world full of strange and bizarre monsters, and unknown adventurers are blessed. After each death, they will be reborn and continue to challenge invincible opponents..."
Before Zhong Xiu finished speaking, a huge cheer broke out
in the field . If "Super Mario: Odyssey" is a new game, players are only familiar with the image of Mario, and the overall popularity is not so good. Then "Dark Souls" can be called a "special" work in the entire game series of Linmu Studio. The popularity is too high! ! ! Whoever played the game said that Lin Yao was crazy! ! The difficulty of the game itself was totally out of tune with the mainstream games at the time. When everyone was pursuing a sense of excitement in the game, Linmu Studio itself was actively promoting the progress of the times. Suddenly, it came back... and directly released a "Dark Soul" on both platforms. In addition, "The Legend of Zelda" was very popular at the time, and a person who called himself Uncle Lin broke the news and led all the players into the ditch... This made countless players want to experience the open world and the adult version of "The Legend of Zelda" in this game. Then... at the beginning, they were taught a lesson by the big butt. On the day the game was released, all major player communities were in mourning. Lin Yao was happy to get the name "Dark"... and the subsequent development of this game was even more outrageous. Many players complained about the difficulty of this game at the beginning, but they were just complaining... soon. High-difficulty games bring a different kind of pleasure... Players sum up their experience in repeated failures, and then gain a great sense of accomplishment when they win against difficult enemies... This sense of accomplishment is hard to give in other games. Many players are addicted. Countless players have become masochists . This has spread the popularity of this game again and again, and attracted a large number of players. It has become the most successful but also the most alternative game of the year. Even until now. The game has been on sale for so long, and there are still a lot of players in the game, developing alternative gameplay such as parkour and instant kills. It is conceivable how much the players of this game like this type. Even if they have never played it, the audience on the scene must have heard of the name of this game. It would be strange if they didn't cheer! On the screen. When Zhong Xiu was recording the video, he seemed to guess that the players would cheer at this time. He paused deliberately. Then, after the cheers of the players died down a little, he continued, “That’s right, that game is Dark Souls! I want to talk to you about the story of how this game came about... Did you know? When Lin Yao first proposed this project, the key words she gave were pain and suffering.” “To be honest, when I first heard about these two key words, I thought they were referring to the plot. After a quick look at the plan, my mind didn’t change. It wasn’t until we officially entered the preparation stage that I realized how wrong I was.” “Pain and suffering... these are referring to the players. In the early stages of development, when I was sorting out the entire game and Lin Yao’s ideas, I was really shocked to see the malicious design, complex maps, and extremely high difficulty.” “Don’t say you don’t understand. When I was testing it myself, I didn’t understand the meaning of such a high difficulty. I was beaten to the point of cursing.” “At one point I even thought that this game would definitely fail..." "But in the end, you may not believe it, but I was the first player to complete the game, and I was addicted!" Zhong Xiu scratched his head and smiled again: "Although I still curse when I play, I am really happy to make the game and experience the unique art style and unique atmosphere formed under the leadership of Lin Yao as a player. Of course, I'm not happy that I can make you suffer... but I just think that the game is great! This reminds me of the old games in the past... It's not that old games are necessarily good, the development of the times is inevitable, and as a producer, I have a clear understanding of this." "But there is one thing I have to admit, the rapid development of the industry has indeed eroded the original intentions of many game producers, including me." " Or to be more precise, let us base the goal of making games on getting players to pay, and do everything we can to retain players as soon as the game starts." "This is of course a good thing to some extent, as it allows more players to experience the charm of the game. But on the other hand... if all games are like this, it would be boring, right? A classic game that doesn't even have a large map and relies entirely on player exploration, with equal information between monsters and players, where it's not the game characters that have become stronger, but the gaming experience where I have become stronger... is also great, isn't it?" "So when Lin Yao said she wanted to make a sequel to Dark Souls... I agreed without even thinking about it." Zhong Xiu straightened up and sat upright in his chair: "And for this sequel, the keyword Lin Yao gave is - a bizarre and magnificent journey!"
"The bell has rung! Wake up! Everyone! It's time to pass on the fire!"
Zhong Xiu clapped his hands and smiled brightly.
Then, like his colleague in front of him,
he raised his right hand and pulled it from the edge of the screen to the other side.
It was like a prologue.
He disappeared from the screen.
Only the last sentence was left.
"At the end of the first generation of "Dark Souls", in front of the door of Gwyn's initial furnace, everything there was covered with a layer of white, but that was not snow, but ash, from the ashes of King Gwyn, the ashes of the furnace, and the ashes of all the black knights left from the beginning of the world.
And in the ashes, there is a golden light shining like the sun..."
"..."
The moment Zhong Xiu's voice fell.
The screen darkened.
Then.
The name "Dark Souls Ⅱ"
slowly emerged and froze in the center of the screen.
But the performance of the players... was very real.
"Get out! Don't pass it!!!"
Hearing Zhong Xiu's words,
I saw the name of the game appear.
At first, it was just a few players, and then the entire venue was moved to shout the same sentence...
Then, a lot of laughter broke out.
At this moment,
the players completed a void interaction with Zhong Xiu and Lin Yao.
However,
after the trailer was officially played,
the players immediately quieted down.
Because the iconic and sacred background music of "Dark Soul" sounded.
The logo of Linmu Studio appeared on the screen.
It appeared briefly.
Then it slowly disappeared.
Then.
The Dark Ring in the previous game
appeared in the center of the screen.
The flames lingered at the edge of the Dark Ring.
The low narration at the beginning of the first game sounded again.
At the same time, as the narration sounded,
the flames on the Dark Ring began to gradually dim...
[Yes, they did it.]
[Just like the niche they talked about.]
[The flames went out.]
[And the king... is still not crowned.]
Familiar, confusing words.
Then.
The Dark Ring gradually disappeared from the screen, and the King's City appeared in its place.
The background music suddenly became louder.
The screen began to switch quickly...
The ancient dragon lying on the city wall.
The walking dead.
The weird nun patrolling the dark dungeon.
The mummies dressed in red robes marching in a line like pilgrims.
... It's right!
When the player saw this, the first feeling was that it was right.
The fire was extinguished, and all kinds of cows, horses, ghosts and monsters ran out...
Doomsday scenes can be seen everywhere.
This is Dark Souls!
And when a knight in heavy armor appeared on the screen, raised the red short sword in his hand and plunged it into the ashes.
Bend down.
Light a bonfire and let your whole body come into close contact with the rising flames. It's
even more right!
This is the undead!
It's just...
the second half of the trailer is a bit wrong.
The second half is mainly various battle scenes.
The mummified swordsman.
The knight brother holding a shield and a one-handed sword.
Compared with the previous game.
Their movements are smoother, and they look faster and more oppressive.
But some things are still in the same vein.
For example, hidden in the shadows, under the light of candles, a huge skull with a crown appears, a huge beast-like Bordo, and a dancer wearing a veil at the end...
These huge monsters, with background music with strong religious meanings,
are full of mythological meanings and dark colors.
The dancer wearing a veil wields the magic sword that swallows and spits out flames, spinning like dancing, and slashes the knight opposite her with one sword.
The opponent has no power to fight back.
Finally.
She grabs the knight with one hand, throws him in the air, and then raises the magic sword with the other hand, pierces the knight with one sword, and the flames on the magic sword rise instantly, wrapping the knight in it.
It fully illustrates what oppression is!
Really... too cool!
Although it is an enemy.
[Dark Souls Ⅱ]
At the end of the trailer, the name of the game appears.
Then came the release date and the time of tomorrow's fan meeting.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Audience.
The background music full of religious connotations in the trailer still lingered. The players who had just said "Get lost, don't pass it on" saw the scene of the boss dancer's execution and the name of the game "Dark Souls 2" appeared.
They cheered again with a disapproving mouth.
It was louder than the previous shout of "Get lost, don't pass it on".
"..."
Kou Hong sat in his seat, looked up at the screen, and suddenly laughed bitterly.
Another game with a completely different style...
Realistic modern warfare, cartoon-style action adventure, medieval action role-playing full of mythology and dark colors...
It really doesn't match anything.
He found out that... I still underestimated Lin Yao.
He said Lin Yao was suitable for film and television work... But now it seems that she is suitable for any job!
It's outrageous...
At the same time.
Backstage.
Lin Yao stood in front of the screen and saw the last game announced tonight, which also received enthusiastic feedback.
He was relieved immediately.
He was relieved.
"Great."
Lin Yao turned around and sat back in her chair, then turned her chair to face the conference table, put her warm burden on the table, and lay down, stretched out her hands, and stretched hard.
Her face was full of joy.
...
The opening ceremony of the e-sports festival came to a perfect end.
That night, in addition to the wonderful opening ceremony performance,
there were a total of four opening games, which were equally wonderful.
And the three breaks during the break
were all Linmu Studio's own game advertisements.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Dark Souls 2"!
The combination of the event and the new game advertisements was... unexpectedly good!
The players were in a state of excitement all night
. Except for the end of the last project, they were all in a state of excitement at other times.
Immersed in the atmosphere created by Linmu Studio.
Unable to extricate themselves. It
was really great!!!
And obviously.
The opening ceremony that left a deep impression on the players tonight, and the related topics could not disappear just because it ended.
That night.
Although the opening ceremony ended, it was already very late.
But there are still a large number of viewers who watched the live broadcast or were at the scene, and they poured into the forums and game groups.
[Great! Really great!! I knew it after watching the opening ceremony! Linmu Studio will definitely not disappoint tonight! Sure enough! The short film is a surprise! The subsequent games are even more surprising! ]
[After watching the short film, I finally know why Linmu Studio can rise... They are really great! To be honest, after watching the short film, I want to join Linmu Studio. I think it will be great to work there! ]
[Ahhh... I thought I wouldn't see any new games from Linmu Studio this year! I didn't expect it! There were three new games at the opening ceremony! Wow! I was just saying wow! ]
[But this is not the end! That short film, that box logo, definitely put more than three games! Come on, big guys, analyze what else is inside! I want to know what other treasures Linmu Studio has hidden! ]
[Players who didn't go to the scene are really at a loss! The atmosphere at the scene was really amazing. I just watched the live broadcast of the opening ceremony performance. It was completely different from being there. 】
【Do you think we don't want to go there? We can't get tickets! But to be honest, even if it's a live broadcast, we can still feel that the music and performance are really good! It would be more exciting to go there! 】
【Wow, I watched it all and found that the producer really talked about Lin Yao all the time! Everything is related to her...】
【Lin Yao is extremely evil! But please have more extremely evil Lin Yaos in the gaming circle! 】
【...】
Some players are still venting their excitement.
And some players have already started to analyze.
At the scene and live broadcast, everyone was focused on the competition and new games and had no time.
But now it's different.
In that short film, Lin Yao gave a lot of hints.
In the end, many staff members put things in the box, although they were all strange.
But most of them were related.
So soon.
Many players found models representing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Dark Souls 2" through replay.
At the same time, they began to analyze other items that have not yet been revealed.
Some models are fine, but some new works are really hard to guess what they are. You can only watch the short film over and over again, trying to find some clues.
At the same time, the box in the short film of Linmu Studio also has an official name - Lin Yao's Treasure Box!
Some players began to analyze what else is in the box through clues in the short film, wanting to see what else is hidden in Lin Yao's treasure box.
Other players began to discuss the new games that have been revealed.
They began to discuss the gameplay of two sequels and a new game.
Some players are discussing tonight's game.
In addition, there are players who are madly venting their excitement.
It directly made the major player communities and groups discussing games extremely lively, even a little chaotic...
However
, although there was no common topic,
they were discussing the same thing - Linmu E-sports Festival!
It exploded.
The heat really exploded.
Moreover,
as the opening ceremony ended,
it was not only the player community that was involved.
On social media, the topic of
[Linmu Studio Opening Ceremony Music]
also quickly appeared on the hot list.
Although two of the songs in this opening ceremony had appeared before,
the live performance effect was really great after the form change.
The first song was "We Will Rock You" by Queen. The players and the audience on the field accompanied the song together. The moment they sang together, anyone who heard it had goose bumps.
As for the second song "Legends Never Die", as long as there is empathy, the audience who has watched any event will find it difficult to resist.
As for the third song "Kai Tian", although it is also an old song, this combination of classical instruments kicked off the entire short film, which was really exciting.
The performance effect and stage effect really killed a large number of evening parties.
The topic of "Linmu Studio Opening Ceremony Music" has once again appeared in the eyes of many people who don't pay attention to e-sports events, or even games.
Seeing at least 30% of the audience at the scene, and seeing the warm atmosphere at the scene.
It's a bit funny.
Some people even criticized the current singers...
saying that game companies are more motivated than the new generation of singers...
This exposure and discussion.
Linmu E-sports Festival... has become the hottest topic.
Then.
Maybe there are indeed many overseas audiences, and the audience at the scene is too enthusiastic... The satisfaction and excitement are visible to the naked eye.
So many authoritative media also reported this matter through the recently emerging social media news accounts.
[Congratulations! Just now, the opening ceremony of the Linmu E-sports Festival held by Linmu Network Technology Co., Ltd. ended perfectly.
In addition to the wonderful opening ceremony and events, the scene also announced the sequels of three popular games overseas.
It is reported that the opening ceremony attracted nearly 20,000 overseas audiences to watch the game on site, and the atmosphere was warm! [Picture][Picture][Picture]]
This short news released by the most authoritative media.
It was directly forwarded many times.
Even the overseas accounts of authoritative media posted a similar one.
The popularity has further increased...
After all, the Linmu E-sports Festival does attract a lot of overseas audiences every year. The Linmu Carnival in the first half of the year was also well received and attracted a lot of overseas audiences.
In addition, their games are selling well overseas. It is
appropriate
to show the face of Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao herself doesn't feel anything about this. She is sometimes sharp, but she is still young after all.
But colleagues like Tianhu Li Guangsheng, seeing such news, are really envious of them...
It's too obvious.
Everyone has seen the development of Linmu Studio in recent years and their ability to attract money overseas.
Now the timing is really right.
If it were him,
he would also set up such a company as a benchmark for cultural products to go overseas...
But envy is useless.
He can't change anything.
If he can hold such an event and the game can go overseas to earn foreign exchange, then he can still fight with Linmu Studio, but the problem is that it can't.
Then there is really nothing to say.
Tonight.
Linmu Studio and Linmu E-sports have been in the limelight.
And it is foreseeable.
There may be another opportunity to be in the limelight tomorrow.
On the forum.
The congratulations from the authoritative media also became one of the topics of discussion among the players.
However, they only said a few words about "Linmu Studio" being awesome.
After all, they are players, so they only need to say a few words about this kind of gossip.
Compared with these trivial matters,
they are still more concerned about the competition, the game, and Lin Yao's treasure chest...
One o'clock in the morning.
After such a long time of partying,
some players went to rest.
After all, there are competitions tomorrow! There will also be a meeting for the new game early in the morning.
Maybe you can still see Lin Yao's treasure chest!
It's time to recuperate!
However,
there are also players who did not sleep.
After they discussed the opening ceremony of this year's Linmu E-sports Festival,
they finally talked about the Global Game Awards...
After all, the Global Game Awards will be held tomorrow morning.
[When the Global Game Awards are held, Linmu Studio's new game will start a meeting at the same time, hehehe... [Funny]]
Such a post appeared on the front page.
Then the replies below the post soon experienced an explosive growth.
"Hehehe... I thought Linmu Studio was just being angry, but now it seems that they have been prepared."
"I wonder what the players will choose tomorrow... Hehehe."
"Does it still need to think about the live broadcast of this year's Linmu E-Sports Festival? [Funny]"
"I think the organizers of the Global Game Awards should be regretting it now... Wouldn't it be better to let Linmu Studio play the film on the spot? Now it's over, the other party is taking advantage of the popularity of the e-sports festival to challenge."
"Hehehe, tomorrow will be fun."
"..."
Below the post.
It's all hehehe...
