Chapter 668 There should be no promotional videos for the e-sports festival, right?
Mou Feng's question.
It is destined to have no answer.
Because there is no one who can give him the answer.
In the end.
They still postponed the announcement of making a MOBA mobile game and then benchmarking Linmu Studio's "Top".
This year's Linmu E-sports Festival was grandly opened in early December.
But what can I say about this e-sports festival?
Because "Left 4 Dead" and "Assassin's Creed" did not follow the routine, they were all released before the opening of the e-sports festival.
So most players think that this year's e-sports festival should not be like previous years, with various promotional videos to watch during the competition, and it will be called Linmu Studio's exclusive time together with Linmu Carnival.
This has to be said, it's a bit of a pity.
Because since Linmu Studio added advertising and promotional video links during the e-sports festival.
Many game award ceremonies at the end of the year seem to be eclipsed by the e-sports festival.
There is no way, the popularity of the e-sports festival is really exaggerated.
As a pioneer in e-sports, Linmu E-sports Festival not only has the old "Breakout" project, but also has added a lot of new projects in the future.
Which of these projects is not the focus of everyone's attention?
Let alone the Linmu E-sports Festival, the commercial value of the leagues of their two MOBA games "Heroes" and "Dota" alone is far beyond the reach of many competitions held by their peers.
Many peers are secretly discussing.
Linmu Studio is indeed a pioneer in the formalization of e-sports.
This sentence is correct.
But after they finished first, the winner took it all...
and with so many awesome electronic projects, the scale of the Linmu E-sports Festival has been raised again and again, and finally reached a very exaggerated level.
Then.
Linmu Studio added a preview of new games or new products to the e-sports festival...
The popularity exploded directly.
Which game award ceremony can gather so many e-sports players, hold so many popular game competitions, and do it every year, and there are a lot of game trailers to watch?
There is none at all!
So in the past two years, for game players, no matter what activities at the end of the year, they are not as interesting as the Linmu E-sports Festival.
As for e-sports players.
Linmu E-sports Festival is the highest stage in their minds. Many professional players dream of winning a championship in the Linmu E-sports Festival.
Glory is one aspect.
The most important thing is that the prize money is really high...
It is basically raised once a year.
As for why it can be done this way.
Many peers have investigated.
Linmu E-sports Festival ticket sales actually account for a very small share of the total revenue.
The e-sports festival is so large that the advertising revenue alone... is enough for Linmu Studio to make a lot of money.
Compared with this,
ticket sales are not much money.
Otherwise, peers would not have imitated Linmu Studio to do e-sports.
But they really have too many tricks... The speed of launching games is really too fast.
This thing can't be imitated at all.
Compared with this,
imitating their mobile games is simply a simple difficulty.
So after a beating.
Now many peers have given up, and only a few are still holding their own e-sports events.
But compared with the popularity of Linmu E-sports Festival, it is simply a world of difference.
As for the beginning of the year... Linmu Carnival is the absolute king.
In short.
No matter if players temporarily leave the game due to life pressure or other reasons, when they come back, they will never feel that nothing remains the same. The gaming circle is always new every year.
Because of the existence of Linmu Carnival and Linmu E-sports Festival!
Players have already described these two events as "must-see for players".
So.
Although "Left 4 Dead" and "Assassin's Creed" were announced before the E-sports Festival this year, and even "Left 4 Dead" was released, it was very cool.
But some players still think it's a pity.
Linmu E-sports Festival will have no content...
After all, normally speaking, Linmu Studio announced two new games before the E-sports Festival, and there will definitely not be much content next.
Of course.
Some people think differently.
For example, Mou Feng thinks differently.
He thinks there will be more...
Ever since he thought that the two games "Left 4 Dead" and "Assassin's Creed" were just the beginning of this terrible possibility.
He always felt that Linmu Studio had gone completely crazy...
Maybe it was a bit too much to say so.
But he really felt that Linmu Studio was doing something super big... Especially after thinking about the recent absence of Lin Yao.
But deep down, he felt that this was unlikely...
After all, what was Lin Yao doing this for?
To drain the players' wallets before his influence was eliminated?
Lin Yao was not that kind of person...
So the only possibility he could think of was...
When Linmu Studio's mobile game "Top" became a big hit, the entire industry was attracted and followed suit.
Linmu Studio didn't want to disappoint traditional players, so it announced the content of the e-sports festival in advance to appease the players...
In this case, there will definitely not be much new content in this year's e-sports festival.
This is the most reasonable explanation.
But, is it really like this?
Various thoughts collided.
Mou Feng didn't know which one was right.
When he came to his senses, he had already turned on the live broadcast of this year's Linmu e-sports festival...
At the same time.
Countless players also turned on the live broadcast of the Linmu e-sports festival.
For example, Li Yu.
He didn't go to the scene, mainly because it was not easy to go again. He had just used up his annual leave during the carnival.
Although he watched the live broadcast.
But Li Yu thought the experience was also great. Although the atmosphere was a bit worse, he could experience the best stage perspective.
And this year's opening ceremony was as excellent as ever.
If you go to the scene, it's probably worth watching the fireworks show!
Especially when everyone has just finished playing "Left 4 Dead".
Yes.
The exhibition match event of this year's carnival is the confrontation mode of "Left 4 Dead".
In order to announce this news, Linmu Studio directly decorated a side stage to look like the last level of the Black Carnival in Left 4 Dead. The overall layout was exactly the same as in the game, and the rock band that composed the music for the game was invited.
It can be said to be a one-to-one replica.
So when the lights on the side stage came on, the players who had just finished playing the game immediately couldn't hold back.
Is there anything better than this! ?
After the performance, the cheers that seemed to melt the entire stadium rang out.
"Hahahaha, I'm so afraid that the players will rush up."
At this moment.
The real-time comments in the live broadcast room were scrolling wildly.
Many players were led to brush this comment.
Li Yu smiled and then made a cowboy comment.
Every year, Linmu Studio will do these tricks at the end of the opening ceremony to surprise the players.
And the tricks are different every year!
This is also one of the most anticipated parts for players.
However, no matter how exciting it is, there is always a moment of end.
It is estimated that the opening game will start next.
Li Yu watched the lights on the stage where the band was dimmed, and was about to get up to go to the bathroom and then come back to watch the game.
Left 4 Dead and Assassin's Creed have been announced, so there should be no game promotion this year...
Just as Li Yu was thinking about this and stood up,
the lights on the stage dimmed.
Then,
the main screen suddenly lit up.
A strangely shaped "box" appeared on the screen and began to jump and reorganize.
It kept changing its shape.
Like a Rubik's Cube. It
was the logo of the restructured Linmu Studio. As soon as this logo appeared, the players were never disappointed.
Li Yu was never disappointed.
So when he saw this scene,
he paused, then sat down immediately, his eyes widened.
There is still one this year! ?
On the other side,
Mou Feng covered his forehead.
Sure enough...
How could there be no one?
No matter how sentimental Linmu Studio is, it is impossible to sacrifice the game promotion that has become a regular program and can bring a steady stream of advertising income to the Linmu E-sports Festival in order to surprise the players...
Just as Mou Feng was frustrated and speechless.
On the screen,
the box that kept changing its shape was jumping on the screen.
The speed was getting faster and faster.
Faster and faster.
Then accompanied by dynamic background music.
The next moment.
The box... opened!
Countless balls of light wrapped in something flew out of the box like meteors.
One of the balls of light stood out and became the most conspicuous existence in the center of the screen.
It flew around the billboards of the venue, and finally fell on the main stage, turning into a brilliant light in the sky.
On the main screen.
The large gold-plated words "World of Warcraft" slowly emerged.
Then.
A voice that was particularly familiar to countless players rang out.
[My son...]
Hearing this line.
Looking at the picture on the main stage.
The audience at the scene was stunned, and then instantly burst into extremely warm cheers.
"Ohhhhhh!!!"
In front of the screen.
Li Yu was also stunned, and then he shuddered: "Lich King!? The Lich King is finally going to appear in World of Warcraft!?"
Whether the Lich King will appear in the online game has long been discussed by players.
If we talk about the most impressive characters in the game "Warcraft", Arthas, the filial son, must be one of them.
In the Warcraft online game,
although the main battlefield is still in Outland,
Arthas's name has appeared many times.
As for the Northrend continent where the Frozen Throne is located, NPCs have always mentioned it.
So many players think that the map will be opened.
However,
they did not expect
that this news would appear at the e-sports festival, and... the map and Arthas came together!
[My son - I proudly watch you grow up day by day.]
[Become the embodiment of justice!]
[You must remember that we have always ruled this country with wisdom and strength]
[I also believe that you will use your powerful power carefully...]
On the main screen of the stage,
the voice of the old king of Lordaeron kept ringing.
But ironically, the Lordaeron on the screen has become a ruin full of death.
Then,
the screen slowly rose into the air. It
was snowing.
Countless snowflakes fell.
The screen came to Northrend, a continent of ice and snow.
According to legend,
the last blue dragon in the world.
The guardian dragon Malygos spread his wings that covered the sky and flew over the glacier.
At the same time, his deep voice sounded.
[This world... has been corrupted by those creatures who use magic recklessly! ]
[The foolish actions of the Kirin Tor and mortal mages have plunged the world into chaos! ]
[They should no longer be allowed to abuse such power...]
The next scene.
In the dim environment.
The ancient god Yogg-Saron is entrenched in it. Although the specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, its sharp teeth and huge tentacles stir the darkness.
[My wish is... to make those monsters in my nightmares... the demons with a thousand faces... cower before my true form... and bow down to the God of Death!"]
Then,
the scene changed again.
Tirion Fordring, one of the first five paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand, was bathed in the Holy Light again.
[I will grant you a quick death, Arthas, which is much more comfortable than the thousands of lives you have harvested.]
At the end of the trailer,
the scene was in the depths of Icecrown Glacier.
On the Frozen Throne,
Arthas, holding Frostmourne and wearing heavy armor, was thinking deeply.
He suddenly sensed something and slowly raised his head.
The eye sockets on the helmet were like liquid frost, and like blue fire-like energy, slowly overflowing.
The picture darkened.
Until only the liquid frost in Arthas' eyes was left.
[World of Warcraft 4.0 new version - Northrend]
[Next spring, please look forward to it!]
...
The moment the trailer was finished.
A tsunami of cheers rang out at the scene!
Although the project leader Lei Hongguang followed Lin Yao's advice for this new version.
He did not use the ultimate move to throw out the Lich King right away.
Players cannot fight the Lich King in this version.
The entire expansion will be divided into two parts, and the next version will be the real Wrath of the Lich King.
This version will focus on the Nexus War launched by Malygos, one of the guardian dragons, and the process of Tirion Fordring forming the Silver Northern Expedition after the death of his son.
But the information revealed in the trailer is enough for players to cheer.
Familiar characters appear one by one.
And they are all full of force.
A brand new version, a brand new map, and a brand new story.
And the Lich King that everyone is most interested in!
What else do you want!
"666, I knew that Linmu Studio would never give up the surprise link of the e-sports festival!"
"And! There are more surprises!"
"Awesome, I feel like I'm celebrating the New Year every day now! I just watched the trailer of "Assassin's Creed", and I look forward to the release of the game at the end of the year! Wow! A new version of World of Warcraft is coming. "
Gather, brothers, we have to meet Arthas!"
"No, I feel like I'm going to faint from excitement when I hear the old king's voice!"
"..."
Live broadcast website.
Real-time comments.
Players keep posting all kinds of excited words.
In front of the screen.
Mou Feng watched the trailer that had been broadcast to the end and the discussion of the players, listened to the deafening cheers from the scene, and couldn't help but collapse on the chair: "They also have online games! Yes, there are online games. Why didn't I think of this with my pig head..."
And then.
After the opening battle of "Breakout".
The constantly jumping box appeared again.
During the opening ceremony.
There are constantly new promotional videos coming out, all of which are major version updates of online games under Linmu Studio.
The audience of these online games originally came to watch their favorite game events.
Seeing the promotional videos of major version updates at this time
can be said to be a double happiness... The expectations for the new version have soared to the highest level.
No one expected it.
At the e-sports festival.
After the two works "Left 4 Dead" and "Assassin's Creed" were announced, and one of the games was released, Linmu Studio would actually give itself so many surprises!
And Mou Feng was numb.
He looked at the screen and had only one question.
Since Linmu Studio did not bring out the content of the e-sports festival in advance to surprise players.
Then what is the purpose of the early announcement and release of "Left 4 Dead" and "Assassin's Creed"! ?
He couldn't figure it out at all, and he didn't want to think about it.
The "Love Letter" project has not been announced, and it is too difficult to figure out what the strategy of Linmu Studio is during this period.
"...I'm waiting for shit!"
Mou Feng stared at the live broadcast, and after a long silence, he suddenly stood up and went to find Li Guangsheng.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Although he hadn't figured it out yet, he had a hunch.
If he continued to wait, he might have to wait until the end of time!
