Chapter 285: The Closed Beta is coming
Rewind the clock to March 1, which is Tuesday. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
A game advertisement quietly appeared on the homepage of Fanhua's official website, and also appeared on some portals and video websites that have strategic partnerships with Fanhua.
A beautiful game animation, a new song with a similar déjà vu.
At the end of the 60-second shot, a few lines of large text pop up in a striking visual effects fashion.
——The latest masterpiece of the online game in 2011, "Six Tribulations: The Record of the Gods and Demons of the Flood Desolation" is shockingly debuted!
——2.5D game screen, an epic work of Xianxia style, dedicated to tailor-made for Celestial Dynasty gamers!
——Naxon, which has created classics such as "Dungeons and Warriors" and "The Legend of Rocky Heroes", is dedicated to it.
- The first closed beta on March 5th, what are you waiting for?
……
The propaganda language copy given by the bustling online marketing department is roughly these routines. Although it sounds good and beautiful, it really doesn't have much new ideas in the domestic online game advertisements that have always been boastful and loud.
Although it is very brazen to bring out "Dungeons & Warriors" and "Rocky Heroes", two of Naxon's most famous games, to "Six Paths" The platform supports the façade, but the former is a work that was formed before Neople was acquired by Naxon, and has little to do with Naxon, and the latter, although it swept six awards at last year's Korean Game Awards (see Chapter 135 for details), it can be said that it is a big momentum, but after all, it is in South Korea, and the Celestial Empire has basically no influence due to the bottleneck of the operating capacity of the agency company Tiensit.
But this ad still has a good publicity effect.
Let's not talk about the connotation of the game, if you just look at the graphics performance, it is fair to say that Korean games are basically above the standard.
It's definitely not going to make everyone like it.,But at least it's guaranteed that the first feeling is that it looks very comfortable.,It's never so bad that you don't want to play because you look at the style of painting.。
And then there is the song "Burning Heart with Fire", which was obviously rearranged and sung by someone, I have to say that the emotional performance is really moving - tragic, angry, brave, compassion, dedication and other emotions can be properly integrated in a few lyrics, and what is even more surprising is that this version is actually performed by a female singer.
And it seems quite young to listen to the sound?
Counting the newly debuted female singers of the Celestial Dynasty in recent years, there are naturally many, many people who can sing bitter and tender songs, and there are really few who can sing an ancient song so majestic, without hesitation, and with a sense of compassion......
So a bunch of good deeds went to the bustling official website forum to post, analyzing the comparison and differences between the new version and the original version in detail at length, and asking which singer we were looking for to cover it, why we couldn't think of it even if we wanted to.
This post has been "artificially pinned" for three days in the forum by people constantly replying, and even other posts discussing whether the game is fun or not have been drowned, but the official has not given any answers.
In addition to the game advertisements that have just been launched, just last month, several professional game magazines in China, including "Popular Games", published one or two special reports such as "2011 Latest Online Game Preview".
This was a natural extension of the closed beta that Threesome Studios held at Tiensiti (which was later transferred to Trontic).
Even "Popular Game", which has always been more critical than praised for domestic games and Japanese and Korean games, also put forward a lot of positive opinions on the characteristics of this game called "Six Tribulations" in all aspects of the Celestial Dynasty Xianxia game, and it can be seen between the lines that editor Luo Siwei, who has always been happy with ridicule and poisonous tongue, has strong expectations for this work.
The influence of these game magazines in the Celestial Empire player group should not be underestimated, and for a while, the name of "Six Tribulations: Records of the Gods and Demons of the Flood Wilderness" was repeatedly mentioned in various social platforms such as forums, post bars, exchange groups, and scarves infested by various players.
One step ahead of these magazines, those online game media that were also involved in the closed beta process had already preemptively released some game evaluations, screenshots, and other information just after the closed beta ended or even before it ended.
It's just that all kinds of articles and pictures in the online game media are full of sweat and cattle, and several latest game feature reports are drowned in the meantime, and they can't splash out too much immediately.
When the next wave of special reports in game magazines came out and really formed a hot topic, naturally some good people would search for relevant information, so the evaluations and screenshots of "Six Tribulations" on those game websites were also mined and reprinted on various social platforms discussing the game.
I have to say that through the two publicity warm-ups of game websites and game magazines, by the time the bustling network officially launched the internal test advertisement, the name "Six Tribulations" has been quietly launched unconsciously.
This game has also officially announced that it will start its first closed beta test in the attention of "everyone expects".
On March 3, the homepage of the bustling official website was updated, giving an eye-catching client download link for "Six Tribulations: Records of Gods and Demons of the Flood Desolation".
At the same time, the registration code application is open.
The design of the single server of "Six Tribulations" can accommodate up to 3,000 people at the same time, although all players may not be online at the same time, but considering the popularity of the new server, in order to ensure the game experience of players, for the sake of safety, the total number of registration codes in this batch is exactly 3,000.
Among them, Fanhua Network has reserved one-tenth for its own company's operation and testing department, and the remaining 2,700 registration codes can be obtained through different methods such as forum application, SMS application and guild invitation.
The official website was updated in the morning, and by two or three o'clock in the afternoon, all the registration codes had been snatched up.
That night, a person who claimed to be an anonymous employee of the product department of Fanhua.com gave a message under the post asking the cover singer: The cover singer is not from China, but a famous Korean idol artist invited by the research and development company Naxon.
It's as if a few drops of water were splashed in a pan of oil, and the post exploded with a "whoosh".
Some people guess it's Pu Chun, some people guess it's BOA, and some people guess it's Sun Jiaren - after all, where are the feelings expressed in the song, it should be difficult for a young singer without a little life experience to sing.
Of course, some people retorted that it obviously didn't sound like these people's feelings, and then the previous speakers said that you have heard their Korean songs, but you have not heard their Chinese songs, how do you know what they are like singing Chinese songs?
When there was still a lot of discussion, there were senior players of Naxon Games who stood up and expressed their disdain - I don't know if it was Park Chun, BOA or Sun Jiaren, but judging from the history of Naxon Game endorsements, the most cooperation with this company is Girls' Generation!
Then Taeyeon's answer came to the surface, and players who had heard her song said that this voice was definitely the voice of the boyish convulsive captain of Girls......' Generation!
When the news came out, Girls' Generation's huge fan base in the Celestial Empire went completely crazy - the team actually sang a cover of a Chinese song? Why have we never heard of it? Whether it is the official website of s.m. company, or the official website of sone, or the social platforms of the young members, they have never gotten a little wind.
It's impossible, isn't it?
As a result, many sones who didn't pay attention to online games, including a group of self-proclaimed senior Guoda, ran to refresh and watch the "Six Tribulations" advertisement repeatedly.
Hey, it really looks like Taeyeon sings!
The so-called "Goda" is the self-name of Taeyeon's Celestial Empire. The source is that Taeyeon herself called herself an "apple peeler" when she first met as a "husband and wife" in "We Are Married", or "Goda" for short. Then her Yuihan in the Celestial Empire liked this nickname very much, so she took it as the name of the fan group without authorization.
You must know that this group of "Guoda" is a die-hard meal that is completely different from passers-by like Che Guanglong and Duan Shanshan, and claims to be professional fans who can "identify whether it is idol himself from a shoe".
If even they think that this song is indeed very similar to that sung by Taeyeon, then the answer is basically certain.
But is this the case?
The official of the prosperous network has never given an official answer, not denying it, but also not admitting it, just guess.
As a result, more and more people went to the bustling official website forum to post and ask, and almost crowded the server of the official website.
There was even a Korean language of Tian Chaohan who ran to the official website of SONE and even the UFO of the young time to raise this issue, according to the previous request of Long Jiao, the S.M. company and the members of the young time also turned a blind eye to it in unison and remained silent.
This internal test, according to the operation policy decided by Long Jiao and other responsible persons, is to use a method similar to hunger marketing to build momentum, hoping to achieve a psychological effect of short supply.
During the test, a server was opened, and there were only 3,000 registration codes. Therefore, the publicity can be done until the point is reached, and there is no need to deceive and change tricks to lure players.
Not responding to this question head-on, it is more able to create a sense of mystery, and it is much better than the publicity effect of directly announcing that the cover singer is the young captain Kim Tae-yeon from the beginning.
Curiosity can kill a cat. Seeing the beautiful game animation on the advertisement, which is a bit similar to the game trailer, many players are itching and can't help but want to play first.
As a result, you can apply for free on the official website, even if the SMS application cost is only 0.1 yuan registration code, because the supply exceeds demand, there are already people on the forum who have paid a high price of 200 yuan or 300 yuan to buy.
You know, this is just the first test that is destined to be deleted, and will definitely not retain player data information!
It was in this highly concerned situation that the first closed beta test of "Six Tribulations" kicked off.
P.S. The second watch is coming.
