Chapter 279: The First Doomsday Game

Of the many games released in New World, none of them have been based on the apocalyptic world as their main theme.

This time, the first apocalyptic theme of New World Games is finally online.

In fact, the theme of the end times alone is enough to make people excited.

It's just that the game is not on the website, nor on the New World Mall on mobile phones, but only on the Gemini phone.

It's no wonder that players are complaining. Doesn't this mean that in order to play this game, you have to buy more than 7,000 Geminis.

Of course, player complaints won't stop the game from quickly attracting attention from all sides.

In addition to players, there is no one who cares more about the new world than the major media.

Media, large and small, began to rush to report.

Two pre-installed games from Gemini have surfaced, the simple and violent "Fruit Ninja" and the first post-apocalyptic game "The Last of Us". ”

"New World games are infinitely creative, and post-apocalyptic themes can also be made into games?"

"The Last of Us was only available on Gemini, which caused strong dissatisfaction among players. ”

"For "The Last of Us", players spend 7,000 yuan to buy Gemini. ”

For these reports, it is not clear whether they are true or false, but at least it shows that the launch of "The Last of Us" has made players unable to sit still.

"The Last of Us" is a post-apocalyptic game released on the PS3 platform by the famous studio "Naughty Dog" secretly developed for two years, with the English name "The Last of Us", also known as "The Last of America".

The story takes place in the "Boston Quarantine Zone", where 20 years ago there was a "fungal outbreak" that destroyed all modern civilization, and the government quickly closed the entire city to prevent the fungus from spreading to the outside world, but there are still survivors who continue to live in it. Later, due to the leakage and spread of the fungus, this isolation lost its meaning, and the entire densely populated city of the United States was infected with the fungus.

The player takes on the role of Joel, a middle-aged man, who takes Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of the quarantine area protected by the army and through the metropolis that has been reduced to a ruined jungle in order to fulfill the entrustment of Marlene, the leader of the Fireflies organization. Faced with the threat of virus-infected mutant humans and other survivor groups, a profound journey that changed the lives of the two began.

At that time, the game had already conquered the major game media before it was officially released, and as of June 2013, it had received a total of 30 perfect scores from the media.

The game was released on June 14, 2013, and by July 3, 2013, 3.4 million units had been sold, which is still a reflection of the game's popularity when publishers greatly underestimated the game's distribution, resulting in a shortage of supply in many regions.

The full score of many media and the soft hand of winning the award all show how classic this game is, whether it is the picture, combat design, plot, including music, dubbing, it is close to perfect.

When such a game appears in front of the player, how can the player not be excited and angry!

"What's going on in New World now? If I can't play Demon of the Heart, why can't The Last of Us be launched on the website? For the sake of a game, I really want to buy Gemini?"

"Is this game only available for Gemini? Can I play Ruiyi? I just bought Ruiyi, I can't buy Gemini right away. ”

"I've seen a lot of post-apocalyptic movies, and when I saw this game today, I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm now considering replacing Ruiyi with Gemini, which is really cool anyway. ”

"The Last Survivor" can only be played on Gemini? Of course not, Ruiyi, and even Haiyan can run, but Haiyan has no built-in peripherals and cannot be operated.

24 hours after the release of Gemini, New World Games opened up a game zone for two games, and at the same time gave an official reply on the official announcement page.

""Fruit Ninja" will be launched on other models of mobile phones in 3 days, and "The Last Survivor" will be launched on Ruiyi mobile phones on 10 days, and at the same time, our technical team is working hard to overcome technical difficulties and try to launch "The Last Survivor" on Haiyan mobile phones, please be patient with Haiyan and Ruiyi mobile phone users. ”

Lindy is also ashamed to say this, there are still technical problems here in the new world, which are completely non-existent.

To put it bluntly, Lindy is going to launch new games on Haiyan and Ruiyi after a while, and now after all, it is the main promotion of Gemini.

Mao Mao said that he could buy the expansion peripherals of Haiyan's mobile phone to solve the problem of "American Doomsday" in the operation of Haiyan mobile phone. Lindy still likes to use another name for this game, after all, this name is much more widely accepted than "The Last Survivor", and the first time Lindy heard about this game, her friend said "American Apocalypse".

Haiyan mobile phones do not have built-in peripherals, so users can only buy expansion peripherals, but now the sales of Haiyan mobile phones are very large, and I don't know how many expansion peripherals to buy for the first time.

Lindy originally wanted to ask Maomao if the system could return it, if it could, buy more first, send it to various physical stores, and return it to the system if it can't be sold.

A set of peripherals can cost 450 yuan, hundreds of millions of Haiyan mobile phones, which is not a small amount, so Lindy also has to count it.

It's just that Maomao is being punished now, so Lindy can only wait and ask again.

Mao Mao also knew where he came back, he was dirty, and he was ordered by Lindy to stand in the corner of the wall and think about it.

From time to time, Mao Mao turned her head and looked at Lindy pitifully, with a pair of big eyes, as if asking: Dad, are you okay?

Lindy glared angrily and amusefully at the small gray ball standing in the corner of the wall, Mao Mao was facing the wall, standing pitifully, even the big ears drooped weakly.

Just the day after the release of Gemini, a large percentage of players who purchased Gemini through the Internet also got their phones.

As a result, the Last of Us player forums began to appear in large numbers.

Only this time, the players are not discussing the strategy, the players are actually discussing human nature.

In this game, the player plays the role of the middle-aged uncle Joel, and in the game, the setting of this uncle is very different from the hero image of the game.

In "The Last Survivor", Joel's beloved family has been killed by the plague, and his life in the quarantine area has turned him into a man who gradually abandons his humanity, does not hesitate to pollute his hands in order to survive, and lives ruthlessly, and the only thing he can trust is Ellie, the girl who goes on the road together.

In this way, Joel is indeed different from most RPGs, the player controls a character with a sense of justice, and such a huge contrast has also sparked heated discussions among players.

"To be honest, I can't accept the setting of the protagonist in the game, to put it bluntly, the protagonist is a selfish person, in order to keep himself alive, completely ignoring the lives of others, there is a scene, he saw someone asking for help, and he actually saw death and didn't save him, and directly let people continue to drive. ”

"The game is fun, but I don't like the main character, it's too selfish, it's too cold-blooded. Also, the other survivors in the game must be bad guys, why are the vast majority of survivors in the game bad guys?"

"I also know it's a game, and it's a very well-made game, but it's because it's so well made, so it's inevitable that I'll be in the game, which makes it even harder for me to accept the character of the main character. ”

Of course, there are also a large number of fans of the game who have put forward different opinions.

"From a personal point of view, the game is definitely a great work of the new world! What is the end of the world? In order to survive, you still have to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds? I believe that if you really reach the end of the world, you will not live long. ”

"I really can't stand these people, please use your brains a little, when people are very hungry, they will eat their companions, not to mention that in the last days, the survival materials are so limited!"

"Murder is about motives, imagine what you will do when everyone around you has a very good motive to kill you?

As more people get their hands on Gemini, the discussion of humanity, redemption, and so on in the forums is likely to intensify.

Eventually, even the major media outlets began to join the discussion.

Suddenly, "The Last Survivor" inexplicably brought the rhythm of a wave of ethical and moral discussions......
