Chapter 681 Modern Scrolls Released
March 17th.
"Modern Scrolls" was officially released.
Some time ago.
Even after the promotion of "Modern Scrolls", many peers were actually wondering whether Linmu Studio would insert any other games.
But the reality is that there was no such thing.
Linmu Studio seemed to be putting all its energy into this game.
It invested a huge amount of promotion resources for this game.
Especially overseas.
Perhaps domestic players don't feel much.
But during this period of time.
It can be said that the entire overseas game circle is full of news about the game "Modern Scrolls".
And various outdoor advertisements in reality are countless.
It can be said that
the promotion costs invested by Linmu Studio in this game are equivalent to the production costs.
This is also the first time that Linmu Studio has invested so much to promote a game.
And this is one of the reasons why Zhong Xiu is worried.
Before the rise of Linmu Studio, when it just emerged, there was no such condition.
After the rise, many times, such large-scale promotion is not needed. The natural advantages brought by the Vaporwave game platform, the attractiveness of the Linmu Studio brand itself, and the charm of the game itself.
It is enough to make the games of Linmu Studio sell well.
For example, "Titanfall" some time ago.
Linmu Studio did not promote it so exaggeratedly.
But this game still became the hottest game at home and abroad at that time. As soon as
the trailer was released.
Relying on the Vaporwave game platform, a large number of players have bought the game.
As for why "Modern Scrolls" does not adopt such a solution.
It's very simple.
The upper limit of "Modern Scrolls" is much higher than that of "Titanfall".
The main process of "Titanfall" is too short, and the online mode is not something that everyone can get started quickly, and not everyone can accept the fact that they, the Iron Pilot who has cut several top hunters in a row, will turn back into a rifleman when they go online.
"Modern Scrolls" is one of the monuments in the history of games to some extent. Even if we put aside the online mode that continues to bring revenue to Rockstar.
Its offline mode is undoubtedly the best of the same type, and there is no one else.
If the "Assassin's Creed" series is one of the most suitable single-player games for new players to get started.
Then "Modern Scrolls" is above this "one", a higher level existence.
Modern crime action adventure open world game.
In Lin Yao's previous life, this type of game is not without competitors.
There are even quite a few.
The "Yakuza" series with Japan as the main stage, the "Watch Dogs" series with hackers, the subsequent generations of "Far Cry" with the wild version of his love, and of course the "Saints Row" series with a closer overall feeling but a crazier and more ridiculous style.
But these competitors.
Not to mention being close, even the tail of "Modern Scrolls" can't be seen...
Not to mention, as a stand-alone game for new players to get started.
These are all good games, no one can deny that there are many players who like them, and some of the gameplay is even better than "Modern Scrolls".
"Modern Scrolls" has been criticized for its "real game engine" and "poor shooting feel" for a long time.
But these games, whether in terms of commercial success or reputation, or playability, are not as good as "Modern Scrolls".
As for why this is the case.
The reason.
The most important reason.
It's probably the difference in content.
Each generation of "Modern Scrolls" is the pinnacle of the game industry.
One game includes a variety of gameplays that require purchasing multiple games to experience, integrating action, shooting, driving and other gameplays.
What's even more outrageous is that with so many gameplays, the game is also very well combined, and everything is placed in a rich and delicate game world. At the same time, because it is a crime theme, players don't have to worry about anything.
In short, it is... comprehensive.
This is also the reason why Linmu Studio promotes this game on such a large scale.
Because this game is a frame that can include many game audiences in this frame...
and Linmu Studio's promotion and promotion eventually received a very rich return.
On the first day of the launch of the "Modern Scrolls" store page.
The game quickly rushed to the top of the sales list.
Then the game sales continued to rise.
On the day of release.
According to the calculation of a third-party agency, it is almost breaking 10 million...
This is just pre-sale.
Even if there are discrepancies, it is completely worthy of the title of "final work".
And so many players have brought about terrifying discussion.
The few days before the game was released.
The entire gaming industry is in the shape of Modern Scrolls.
Domestic counterparts have been mentally prepared and have all laid low.
As for several major overseas companies, they originally planned to wait and see how things develop, but on the first day of the game store page going online, they gave up the idea of waiting and seeing how things develop.
They also chose to avoid the limelight.
This also created a unique environment for "Modern Scrolls" with no rivals.
All peers were just watching, waiting for the "Mad King" of Linmu Studio to complete his final performance.
And.
See how amazing the final performance of this "Mad King" is.
...
On March 17th.
The game was unlocked.
Before the game was unlocked, the pre-downloaded game capacity was nearly 100G.
This has already made the players gasp.
On the day of the game unlock, Linmu Studio also pushed a 2G patch...
While waiting for the update, the players couldn't help it.
How big is this game world? How many ways to play are there?
Of course.
Most players have not entered the game, so no one can answer their questions. They
can only experience it themselves.
Players with good network speed have already entered the game when other players are downloading.
For example, Zebulon, Ohio.
The moment he entered the game.
His expectations can be said to be as high as they can be.
Before entering the story mode.
He originally thought that the game would have a cool performance, demonstrating the huge world like the promotional video, or using a high degree of freedom to amaze the players.
But.
None of these.
At the beginning of the game.
The character he controlled was in a bank.
Of course, the character he controlled was not doing "good citizen behavior" such as depositing money. Instead,
he was a gangster wearing a mask and holding an automatic rifle.
Obviously.
They were working.
Xibulon was a good citizen, of course he didn't know the relevant procedures.
But.
To be honest.
Although he didn't know the relevant procedures for standing.
He had the honor of experiencing lying down, and had some experience in this aspect of the process...
He had also read a lot of related news.
And the plot at the beginning of the game.
To be honest.
It was not amazing.
Instead, it was more like a regular performance.
Although it was done very well, roaring and threatening the people behind the windowsill to open the explosion-proof door, and then each of them did their job, one installed the bomb, and the other guarded the hostages.
Then detonated the bomb.
Put money.
When watching the characters in the game stuffing money into the bag, the number in the upper left corner kept changing.
There was still a sense of pleasure.
But there was a problem.
This robbery had no previous synopsis, and there was no foreshadowing, so there was a sense of pleasure, but only a little.
On the contrary,
the police arrived.
They fought each other.
Then, in the snowy North Yankton, it was more refreshing to drive a van and rush around.
However, this created a new problem.
"Is this the map of the game?"
Zebulon followed the route instructions to the escape point.
While observing the snowy North Yankton, he was a little disappointed.
This doesn't seem to match the game trailer...
In general,
the prologue of the game was indeed beyond his expectations.
But it was not good.
Instead, it was a little disappointing.
While thinking, Zebulon controlled the van and rushed to the designated evacuation point.
Then,
the three robbers in the game were ambushed.
Two people were shot on the spot.
And when they took off their hoods,
Zebulon found that they were the two protagonists who had already appeared in the trailer.
De Santa and Lao Cui.
Faced with his companion being shot and unable to move, the crazy Lao Cui was unwilling to give up.
Even if De Santa was lying on the ground, repeatedly asking him to give up himself.
Lao Cui still stubbornly stayed where he was.
Until.
More support arrived.
He roared, and had to abandon his two "colleagues" and disappeared in the vast snow.
It seemed
that the robbery had failed.
The scene changed.
At a funeral,
the priest was holding a funeral for the dead De Santa, and he chanted God's forgiveness.
The scene slowly moved.
De Santa, who was already dead, was in a secret place, witnessing his own funeral.
Finally,
he cursed, put out his cigarette, and turned away.
"Oh?"
Seeing this scene, Zebulon finally became interested.
So Lao Cui and Di Santa knew each other?
And... the latter seemed to have faked his death?
He just had such a question.
The game screen changed.
The prologue ended.
The game officially began.
The beautiful beach and the bustling city came into view.
The official stage of the game was reflected in Zebulon's pupils.
Then.
The screen switched to the interior.
In the spacious room.
Di Santa in the prologue was dressed in a suit and sitting in front of the psychiatrist.
He was completely different from the gangster at the beginning.
As the subtitles of the game production staff popped up.
Di Santa began to yell at the psychiatrist and confide his troubles.
He was middle-aged.
He encountered many problems.
And the biggest problem was his family.
His wife was a troublesome thing, his son was a fat otaku who only knew how to play games, and as for his daughter, she dreamed of becoming famous every day and was also disobedient.
The whole family fell apart.
He tried to save it and also fought.
But it had almost no effect.
So he could only confide his anger to the psychiatrist.
However, the psychiatrist was of average level and only allowed him to vent.
When the time was up, he was asked to leave. He
also charged an expensive medical fee.
How come there is another family ethics drama after the robbery?
Zebulon listened to the angry accusations of De Santa, the father, against his family.
Suddenly, such an idea came to his mind.
This is not right...
Just as he was thinking this.
In the game.
De Santa left the clinic where the psychiatrist was dejected.
Then he found a bench along the beach and sat down.
At this time.
Another protagonist of the game, Xiao Fu, appeared with his friends.
This was also the first intersection of the two protagonists.
Xiao Fu and Rama were arguing while walking from a distance, and then they saw De Santa sitting on the chair and asked him for directions.
De Santa said he didn't know at first.
He seemed to know what the two wanted to do.
But after hesitating for a while, he finally showed them the way.
And the picture moved accordingly.
The player controls the character of Xiaofu...
He and his good brother follow the direction pointed by De Santa and successfully find the destination.
During this time,
Xibulon also figured out what they are here for.
They are here to steal cars...
When Xibulon finished reading the conversation, Xiaofu's good brother asked him to pick a car at random.
Xibulon picked a car that looked better at random.
When he got in the car,
the game reminded him that he could open the convertible by pressing the button, and the car model appeared.
Rama taunted and whizzed away, saying that they wanted to see who could reach the car dealership faster.
Xibulon hurriedly started the car and chased after Rama who was going away.
Radio music sounded.
Amid the roar of the engine, the scenery kept receding.
A corner of the city appeared in front of him...
He widened his eyes slightly, and finally felt the feeling in the promotional video for the first time.
He drove this cool convertible sports car and traveled on the busy main road.
He kept overtaking.
Because it was his first time playing the game, he was not good at driving, and it was common for him to rear-end or get close to the sidewalk.
So he was on the way.
Almost accompanied by screams and abuse, the "speed and passion" was enjoyed.
But it was precisely because of these abuses and screams, these collisions and rear-end collisions.
He experienced for the first time... the real game world mentioned in the game trailer.
Sure enough.
... This is "Modern Scrolls"! !
! At this point
, the disappointment that Xibulon had just played in the prologue disappeared in an instant.
Even when he drove the shattered car back to the car dealership, he still felt a little unsatisfied.
But he didn't know yet.
This was not even the beginning...
When Xiaofu drove the car back to the car dealership, the game briefly explained his work and the background of the story.
Then.
The control of the game returned to the player.
As long as the task was not triggered actively, the player could do whatever he wanted next.
When Xibulon finished the plot CG, he regained the control of Xiaofu at the back door of the car dealership, and then controlled Xiaofu to sit in his car and opened the map.
He took a breath of cold air.
Even if we don't add the areas that have not been explored and are still covered in fog.
The game's open maps alone are as complex as the maps in the real world!
"... Really!?"
Xibulon looked at the map and couldn't help but exclaimed, then thought about it and decided to see with his eyes.
See how big the game map is.
He controlled Xiaofu to start the car and began to drive aimlessly.
He began to tour the entire highly simulated sandbox city where he could travel freely.
While he drove aimlessly, he experienced the traffic system of the main stage of the game, saw all kinds of pedestrians who could interact, and saw complex scenes such as villages, ports, mountains, forests, deserts, rivers, and oceans. He
even saw an airport!
He couldn't help it, so he stopped the car, then controlled the character to get out of the car, looked around the city in the game, and muttered: "WTF..."
What kind of game is this! ! ?
