Chapter 640: Unworldly
Frank, the helmsman of Gibber, saw the news about Grand Theft Auto at home.
He was taking a bath at the time.
Thinking that he had nothing to do lying there, he decided to watch something to kill time.
Then he remembered that the Linmu Carnival was being held, so he opened the live broadcast website.
At first,
he just wanted to find the official live broadcast room of Linmu Studio.
However, during the period, he was attracted by the title of another live broadcast room - [Linmu Carnival, ohhhhhhh. ]
The popularity of this live broadcast room.
Although not as good as the official live broadcast of Linmu Studio.
But it also stands out from the crowd, directly killing a large number of well-known game anchors, and ranked second in the game area.
This is also the reason why Frank was attracted to this live broadcast room.
Although he is worth a lot of money, he is still the helmsman of a game company after all, and he still has professional ethics.
He is not the kind of helmsman who doesn't play games normally and just treats games as commodities.
In fact,
among many peers, he is already the kind of helmsman who pays close attention to player dynamics. He
was once addicted to Diablo.
Although he can't say that he knows everything about the players, he does have some understanding.
Although he won't be like the players, watching some large-scale game activities all the time, and there is a certain lag in obtaining information.
But he has a general impression of some big game anchors, because they are needed for soft advertising, judging the reputation of new games, and controlling public opinion.
Don't worry about whether the purpose is pure or not.
In short, in the big sense, he is really dedicated.
Otherwise, he wouldn't go to the bath after work to watch the game live broadcast.
And it is precisely because of this.
He is interested in this live broadcast that suddenly appeared.
Because he has never heard of this anchor... but the popularity is so outrageous.
The title is related to the Linmu Carnival...
But isn't the official live broadcast room of the carnival there?
Is it interesting to take off your pants and fart?
Frank thought more and more confused, and clicked in directly.
"Brother, I just came out of the meeting venue, but it seems that only a few people came out! Most people are still in the venue, it's really crazy!"
As soon as the live broadcast room was opened,
Frank saw a face pressed against the camera.
The picture was shaking.
The pronunciation was unclear.
He didn't keep a distance from the camera.
The surroundings were noisy.
His hands were shaking.
The whole live broadcast had nothing to do with the word professional.
It wasn't even qualified.
Frank frowned when he saw this.
Is there anyone watching this? Why is it ranked second?
He just had this question.
The real-time comment page loaded.
Then, the real-time comments popped up at a speed of ten per second and began to scroll frantically in the lower right corner of the live page.
There were also countless gift special effects.
Frank was stunned when he saw this.
Shit!
Is there really anyone watching?
He became even more curious, leaned forward, and looked down at the real-time comments with the anchor.
The real-time comments scrolled very fast, and Frank barely caught a few of them.
Although the words of these real-time comments were different, the meanings were similar.
"What else was revealed after the meeting?"
"Tell me, I missed the live broadcast! The replay is not out yet! What new information is there?"
"Jesus, I'm so looking forward to this game! I can't wait, tell me!"
"Will the trial be open tomorrow!?"
"Tell me something that the trailer didn't say, there must be something, right?"
"..."
Frank looked up and roughly understood.
Players want to know information about a certain game.
Because the live broadcast of the day has not ended and the replay has not been released, Linmu Studio will generally only release the most basic promotional materials after the meeting.
But what will be said on the spot is far more than just a trailer.
Otherwise, there is no need to hold the carnival, just play the trailer directly.
The reason why the meeting is called a meeting is because the game producer will meet with the players and will talk about some details that the players are interested in on the stage.
This is also one of the most valuable contents of the meeting.
If you miss it, in addition to waiting for the live broadcast replay to come out, you can generally only wait for media reports or ask the audience on the spot.
The live broadcast room Frank is watching now belongs to the last case.
"Huh?"
After Frank understood the whole story, he took advantage of the gap between the host's words and shook his head gently, then said with a smile: "You really haven't seen the world."
He really didn't understand.
No.
Can't you wait for this little time?
The replay will be released after the live broadcast ends later.
You can watch it at that time.
Still giving gifts here to let others talk...
Even if Linmu Studio just released four new and novel games the day before yesterday, it shouldn't be like this.
Linmu Carnival is already the third one.
What games haven't been seen yet?
Is it necessary to be so anxious?
What game? It's worth it.
Players... are still too easily led by the nose.
They can't stand it after the trailer is released.
Linmu Studio's games are good, but it's really not that bad.
It also directly pushed the other party's live broadcast room to the second place...
I haven't seen the world...
Frank shook his head again.
At the same time.
Live broadcast room.
The anchor who pushed his face to the center of the camera finally raised his head.
"Brothers, after the promotional video was released at the meeting, the three protagonists were also introduced."
"They even released a short video of the trial play!"
He excitedly began to explain what he had seen and heard: "The three protagonists are named Mike, Franklin, and Trevor.
Mike is a professional criminal. He was imprisoned twice at the age of 20, but he has retired. However, his retirement life is not happy and he has problems.
Franklin is a black man who is engaged in loan sharking and extortion business. He is a rookie and has an impulsive friend.
Trevor, the official did not say much about this person's background, but according to the producer, he is a complete lunatic, a terrorist who is very dangerous to ordinary people, but it is said that he is the best helper in criminal activities!"
"And the subsequent trial play, friends, you don't know how surprised I am! These protagonists are switched by mobile phones, and players can use the Future in the game at any time. S1 to choose to control the other two characters.
But the most surprising thing is not this, do you know? The most surprising thing is that they will not wait for the player to control them stupidly, they also have their own lives, and every time they switch, they will be in a different place.
Or sleeping in a shabby apartment, fighting with drunks on the street, or driving on the road! "
"The three characters seem to have their own lives. Even if the player does not control them, they will find some fun on their own, just like they are really alive."
"And the gameplay demonstrated in the promotional video, players can control the three protagonists to do it! During the trial play, the producer controlled the character to go skydiving!"
"In addition, the producer also revealed that the game will have a 'free mode'. In this mode, you can go to the tm mission and do what you want to do. "
"This is really cool!"
"You don't know how much I look forward to this game! ! "
The anchor in the live broadcast room.
His voice is quite loud, and his voice broke at the end.
And as he narrated.
In the live broadcast room, the real-time comments scrolled faster.
It was completely unclear.
Frank didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that since he had already opened it, he could just watch it.
But
soon,
he realized something was wrong.
Mike? Franklin? Trevor? Switch? Three characters? Skydiving?
A modern-themed game?
It's not surprising that Linmu Studios is making a modern-themed game.
But it's also quite surprising.
Judging from the name of the protagonist, it's not a modern-themed game with a domestic background.
This is even more surprising.
"Another FPS?"
Frank combined a few words in his mind, and then a game type emerged in his mind.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and although he was a little worried, he still shook his head. Works
like "Call of Duty" have come out.
What other FPS is worth being so excited about?
It's nothing more than...
"Video?"
The live broadcast room.
The anchor stared at the fast-rolling real-time comments again and noticed a question from a player.
"I took this! But it's a little blurry, because the player in front was too excited, and I was too excited, and my hands were shaking."
The anchor said as he put his phone directly into his pocket.
Then he fiddled with the camera around his neck.
This was also the last scene that everyone in the live broadcast room saw.
Then the screen went black.
However.
Facing this scene, the people in the live broadcast room were not impatient, but even more expectant.
They kept sending real-time comments asking the anchor to hurry up, and at the same time, they were swiping gifts crazily.
Frank sat up slightly in the bathtub.
Seeing this scene.
He smiled and shook his head again.
It's really unnecessary...
He felt that the water temperature was a bit cold, put his phone on the tray, and prepared to get up.
However.
The moment he got up.
The anchor also took out his phone again.
"Found it, you see, this is really the open world game I look forward to the most!"
The open world was like a spell.
It instantly stopped Frank.
?
He immediately sat down again, and then hurriedly picked up his phone.
In the live broadcast room.
The anchor held the phone in one hand and raised the camera on his neck with the other hand, turned the camera over, and then pointed the small screen of the camera at the camera.
What the anchor took with the camera was still not professional.
The picture was shaking.
The composition was shit.
The surrounding environment was noisy.
The screen was still damn small.
But.
The video played on it still attracted Frank's attention.
On the stage of the just-concluded fan meeting.
Zhong Xiu held a game controller and stood next to the screen.
And on the screen.
A picture of a certain game was playing.
The setting sun was like blood.
The top floor of a building with an H letter and a helicopter landing platform.
A panoramic view of the mountains.
A fat man in a suit and leather shoes trotted forward, then flipped over the guardrail in a handsome posture and jumped directly down.
The whistling wind sounded.
He began to fall freely.
Then.
As Zhong Xiu pressed the button.
The man in the picture pulled the rope of the parachute behind him, and the parachute broke apart.
The man pulled the ropes at both ends of the parachute to adjust the direction and began to glide forward along the street.
The main road below was busy with traffic.
The setting sun shone on the glass of the building, shining brightly.
It was as if it was a real shot
. Even though the anchor's shooting technique was shit.
Frank was still deeply shocked.
Is this a real shot? As soon as
he had this thought.
He saw the character in the video finally landed after gliding for a distance.
He untied the parachute behind him, and then staggered forward a few steps.
The passers-by NPC in the game avoided him with curses.
At this time.
Because the camera was close enough.
The NPC appeared on the screen, Frank could finally see that this was a game...
and the character in the video staggered and ran a few steps after landing, and finally stabilized his body.
He adjusted his suit, and then under the control of Zhong Xiu, he ran to a pedestrian and knocked him down with a punch.
A set of actions.
Flowing like clouds and water.
Parachuting, gliding, landing, knocking down pedestrians.
It is indeed a game.
But... even more shocking.
Frank's eyes widened suddenly.
???
"Cool, right? Grand Theft Auto..."
In the live broadcast room
, after the video was played, the anchor began to ask the players who were watching the live broadcast.
And the audience directly expressed their feelings with more real-time comments and gifts.
As for Frank,
he no longer cared about the anchor and the players. He
no longer cared whether the water in the bathtub was cold or not.
After being stunned for half a second, he
immediately exited the live broadcast room.
Instead, he opened the largest player forum in North America.
As soon as he opened it,
he immediately took a breath of cold air...
The whole screen was full of Grand Theft Auto!
Every post mentioned Grand Theft Auto!
As far as he could see
, there was no post without this word.
Frank was stunned again for a while, and then clicked in one by one.
Soon,
he found the high-definition watermark-free version, the official game trailer released by Linmu Studio.
Hip-Hop music began to echo in the bathroom...
Ten minutes later,
Frank finally raised his head.
Then, his hand loosened, and there was a clang.
His phone fell directly into the bathtub...
but he didn't react at all.
He finally knew what game Linmu Studio had just announced.
And.
Why were there so many players waiting for the live broadcast room he just watched...
At the same time.
The bath water in his bathtub had also become completely cold...
A piercing chill came over him.
Frank suddenly came to his senses, he looked down at the Future S1 whose screen was still on, and reached out to pick it up.
Future S1 is waterproof.
It can still be used.
He switched back to the live broadcast room he just watched.
The live broadcast room he just watched was still there.
The anchor was still discussing the Grand Theft Auto with the players.
His tone was excited.
The audience was still swiping real-time comments and gifts like crazy. They
still looked like they had never seen the world before...
Frank looked at the live broadcast room.
Looking at the real-time comments that kept popping up.
Finally, he couldn't help it.
"What The Fuck!"
"Open World!"
"Are you sure?"
An Eastern game company, an Eastern game producer, made an open world game based on a real North American city! ?
And it turned out like this! ? ? ?
? ? ? ?
You guys are just going to drive your peers to death, right! ?
...
Frank experienced something.
In fact, many domestic players who didn't watch the live broadcast had also experienced it earlier.
However,
because the time was more friendly.
There were also many domestic players who went to the scene.
So most players didn't have to wait for the live broadcast.
Soon,
many live shooting videos were released.
Because there were enough people shooting.
There were also many professional people.
The hands were steady.
The camera didn't shake.
The picture was also clear. Videos were everywhere.
The players had basically seen that demonstration video.
At this moment, players are already discussing it...
and the grand occasion of major domestic player forums is similar to that of overseas.
How should I put it? To put it simply, players are celebrating...
"Linmu Studio!!! Lin Yao!!! You are my dad!!!"
"Listening to Zhong Xiu's introduction on the stage was shocking enough, and I was so excited that I stood up after watching the promotional video. I didn't expect it! The demonstration video is even more exciting!
You didn't go to the scene, and you already know what happened before watching the video. But for those of us who went to the scene, do you know what it means?
When Zhong Xiu took out a handle, and then the game screen appeared, he controlled the character to jump from the top of the building and overlooked a huge city! Do you know how excited we were?
The players were crazy at that time!"
"It's so shocking! This is the first time that Linmu Studio has made a game of this size, right? A city of 300 square kilometers!!!"
"I thought the four new games the day before yesterday were a big surprise, but I didn't expect it!!! On the last day, Linmu Studio can also give everyone a wave of nuclear bombs!!! This kind of open world game is really the first time I have seen it!"
"I'm looking forward to it! I really want to play it! In addition, there is still no mobile game in this session. Obviously, the turnover of "Day of Reincarnation" is 3 billion, and to be honest, it is really higher than many traditional games in terms of revenue, but Lin Yao still insisted on not having mobile games appear at the carnival, not even one...
And throughout the carnival, although Lin Yao did not show up, she was really everywhere. Whenever the producers took the stage, they would definitely talk about Lin Yao...
To be honest, as long as the players watched the carnival, they would probably be able to see where the roots of this game company are.
Lin Yao is really too important to this company, and it is really a blessing for the players to have such a company in China."
"Yeah... I am looking forward to the closing ceremony even more now. The last meeting threw out such a nuclear bomb, so wouldn't the closing ceremony be amazing!? Lin Yao [excited]" "
Ah, I'm scared, such a game has been brought out... This won't be the last carnival? It's really too scary [crying]"
"..."
Finally.
As the discussion went on.
Even many players expressed fear.
Their underlying logic is similar to that of Tianhu's Mou Feng.
This Linmu Carnival, this feast... is really too rich.
It feels like all the good things have been served...
You know, the Linmu Carnival has been held for the third time.
Some sensitive players will worry that this year is the peak, and it is normal that there may be no work next year.
Of course.
Although there are many such players, compared with the total number, it is still not many.
Linmu Carnival backstage.
Zhong Xiu didn't care much when he saw these comments.
Because he knew what was left in the kitchen...
What he cared about more was the game's evaluation and his hair.
After reading the players' discussion about the game, he felt relieved.
But the hair...
To be honest.
He was still not sure, although he was still determined deep in his heart.
But he also knew that the release of the game "Grand Theft Auto" was really like a nuclear bomb...
What will happen in the end?
Zhong Xiu was not sure.
...
The next day.
The last day of this year's carnival.
It arrived.
But the players did not have much reluctance.
Because this year's Carnival is still full of surprises, the last meeting yesterday opened the eyes of all players.
At this moment, players are still discussing the "Grand Theft Auto" announced yesterday, and looking forward to the closing ceremony.
How can they have time to be reluctant?
And today.
At the same time as the last day of the Carnival,
the popularity of "Grand Theft Auto" is also continuing to ferment.
The discussion of players is just the initial wave after the announcement of this game.
Although this wave can be called a storm in the game circle.
But.
It is far from the end...
That morning.
Jiaming Alliance member, Tianyu Group.
Yu Tianbo came to the company. Before starting a day's work, he opened social media as usual to check the latest news.
Then.
He saw the hot search "Linmu Studio's new game, an open world game, a world that can be mistaken for the real thing.
" "..."
Yu Tianbo was stunned, then clicked it to take a look.
After watching the game's trailer.
He shook his head helplessly, and then sighed.
Even if Linmu Studio doesn't make mobile phones or technology products, but makes games, it will still attract everyone's attention...
However.
He just sighed.
Soon, he closed the page and put this matter behind him.
Because this thing has nothing to do with him.
What Linmu Studio announced was not a mobile phone, nor a technology product.
It's not even a mobile game.
If it was a mobile game, he would have to consider the impact on the mobile phone industry.
But traditional games are completely irrelevant.
To be honest, in his heart, Yu Tianbo actually hoped that Linmu Studio would continue to make games...
"Linmu Carnival... Just don't announce it."
Yu Tianbo smiled and found that the most noteworthy news was Linmu Carnival, so he simply turned off social media.
Go make games.
Go shock everyone with games.
In the end, it would be even better if you can steal the popularity of Future S1...
Ha...
Dongdong--
a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
It interrupted Yu Tianbo's thoughts.
Yu Tianbo raised his head and said come in.
His trusted secretary pushed the door open and said anxiously, "Boss, take a look at this."
"What's the matter?" Yu Tianbo frowned, took the notebook from the other party, and asked.
The secretary replied, "Future S1!"
"...Huh?" Yu Tianbo paused, then asked in confusion, "Isn't Linmu Studio releasing a game? What does this have to do with Future S1? Is UMedia Technology also doing something?"
"It's not UMedia Technology that is doing something!"
The secretary said helplessly, "It's because of Linmu Studio's game! Didn't they announce a game yesterday? It seems to be called "Grand Theft Auto", and there seems to be a soft advertisement for mobile phones in the game... After this game fermented overnight, all the Future offline stores overseas are full today!
You asked me to keep an eye on the situation of Future S1. This is the report sent by overseas colleagues!
Since yesterday, their offline stores have been lined up in long queues, and online channels have also exploded.
Overseas colleagues said that Linmu Studio may be copying the popularity of Future S1 in China!"
"..."
Yu Tianbo's eyes widened suddenly. ?
