Chapter Ninety-Six: Countdown to Sale

In fact, the stinking display was not Caesar's ultimate goal in opening the shelter.

Seeing that Playbox2 was about to be released, in order to cooperate with the last shocking promotion of "Fallout", Caesar and other family members had enough of walking around the shelter, so they found their own royal photographer Pete, and after on-the-spot observation and discussion, the two of them found a special camera team under Pete, and many props that had been designed and made for a long time were also moved out of the props warehouse on the set by Caesar and placed in the shelter according to the location in the drawings.

Then Pete led them under the command of Caesar to photograph the inside and out of the shelter in detail.

Kaisa was in charge of the editing work himself, and it took only two days to complete the first "game trailer" that was destined to go down forever.

In the past, all the games released by Caesar only had ads, that is, advertisements full of brainwashing slogans, like "Little Overlord is so fun!" "That kind of slogan.

This is the first time that Caesar has made a trailer with the attitude of making zuò artwork, which is endlessly evocative but unbelievable.

With all the channels of Fox bombarded throughout the day, this trailer and the game Fallout have completely exploded the curiosity of the player community, but many of the most terrifying artists have noticed Caesar's strong, stylized worldview and visual style.

With the trademark line "War, War Never Changed" and the song "I-D-W-T-S-T-WRD-O-FIR", which seems to have been tailor-made for the Fallout series, the image moves slowly through the shelter.

The furniture and accessories of the fifties and sixties, the turntable telephone, the old-fashioned Barbie dolls, and even the personal computers with oscilloscopes as monitors, all show that there must have been an era of prosperity and death.

However, when the Fallout series 10mm short gun resembling Colt's 1911, the oddly shaped Gauss rifle, and the T-51 exoskeleton armor in the corner of the warehouse appeared in turn, many people's brains began to shut down.

What kind of times is this? The texture of the picture and most of the furnishings show a strong style of the fifties and sixties, including BGM, which can be said to be an important footnote to this style.

However, just two weapons and a strange-looking but absolutely eye-catching armor appear in the frame, which masks most of the prosperity and decadence of the fifties and sixties, but distills an alternative, weird, and anxiety about the Cold War from the depths of people's hearts.

It's like a person is at the fireplace and drinking hot coffee. Listen to shaky jazz music and watch your children frolic on the carpet. In this comfortable life, a cold hand suddenly reached into the man's arms and grabbed his heart without destroying his body......

Although it is not fatal for the time being. But the coldness, the strangeness, and the fear rose from the depths of the soul and lingered ever since.

Although there is only one sentence "war, war has never changed", it is enough, Tong guò this trailer. Especially when the seemingly impregnable door of the shelter slowly opens and closes, many people seem to have seen the flames of judgment fall from the sky, and the human being, who is a little master of death, has finally paid the price for his ignorance and fearlessness.

A series of pictures and music are perfectly coordinated, as if psychologically suggestive in advance, bringing the audience into the world after the end of the world.

If it weren't for the fact that the real world was in the midst of a cold war, and if it weren't for the imminent outbreak of all-out war in the Gulf region, this video would definitely not have caused such a big shock to the audience.

In the face of the reception calls from both FFF and Fox TV and the snowflakes of letters asking for details, Caesar could only sigh that the Cold War era was the Cold War era.

Especially in times when war is on the verge of breaking out, a casual piece of suggestive work can evoke deep fears of nuclear weapons dominating people's hearts.

Why is Kennedy a hero in the hearts of many Americans? Even if his extravagant private life and chaotic polyamory were later exposed, and even the Bay of Pigs incident was declassified. Why is his heroic image still unfading in the hearts of Americans who lived through that era?

Just because, at the stall where the United States and the Soviet Union were about to kick each other's crotch and pull the whole world to cut off their children together, Kennedy did not coax.

Regardless of whether the Soviet nuclear submarines floated because they received orders from the Soviet mainland, or because the Soviet sailors loved peace, in short, the Soviet submarines surfaced under the monitoring of US warships, and the nuclear war did not start in the end, and this alone was enough for the Kennedy family to blow for hundreds of years.

As a matter of fact. Many people who lived through this period, especially the soldiers of the United States and the Soviet Union, have deep lingering feelings about this period.

It was a real, time when the gun could go off the rails, even if any of the orders were inaccurate. Either tampering with or delaying it could create a radiating wasteland world.

You know, because Caesar's version of "Fist of the Big Dipper" came out ahead of schedule, people are quite impressed by the wasteland world described by Caesar.

At the same time, the post-nuclear world of the "wasteland", which is full of desolation, grotesque, and sinister, has not yet become a subculture. But it's already starting to take shape, and the fans have spread a few times.

Three days after the trailer for "Fallout," the Los Angeles Times sent a commentator article predicting that Caesar's "Fallout" could be the pinnacle of "wasteland culture" becoming a new subculture.

However, since the Playbox 2 release is in the final stages of the five-day countdown, all the speculation is based on the name Fallout and the Vault setting.

Caesar doesn't care about this qiē anymore, in fact, Caesar hasn't cared about what the media people are saying for a long time.

In addition to his family, what he is most concerned about now is the news of the mastermind behind the scenes, but half a month has passed, and there has been no surprising news from the black water or the underground world.

Caesar was in a gloomy mood and could only stay in Tampa with his family, silently waiting for the release of Playbox 2 and the arrival of Christmas.

Even Jordan and Stern's invitation to Caesar to watch the Christmas game was politely rejected by him, and now he just wants to be a quiet beautiful man at home, at most watching the game on TV, although he is not afraid of attacks, but he is really not interested in going out.

In the blink of an eye, it was December 20, 1990, when the full-scale start of the Gulf War had not yet arrived, but the Playbox-2, which also attracted worldwide attention, had been released shockingly.

Whether it's for their children, family and friends as Christmas presents, or hardcore gamers following in Caesar's footsteps, the sales frenzy sparked by the Playbox-2 is unprecedented compared to the wait-and-see attitude that people took in the early days of Playbox-1's release.

New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, Washington, Philadelphia, Seattle, Atlanta, Vegas, Houston, Miami, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, ...... Cities of all sizes in North America can see the long queues in supermarkets and FFF stores on the morning of December 20.

The price of $168 was revealed, and players around the world who were waiting for the new console wanted to put Caesar's picture in front of the hall to worship.

Caesar blatantly wrote on the box of the console that "the price of this machine only recovers the cost and there is a slight surplus, and each person is limited to one unit before Christmas with their certificates".

This obvious anti-scalping measure has been well received by players and their parents, although it does not allow scalpers to get one, but it still effectively curbs the scalpers' stealing behavior.

In addition to the massive number of high-quality games on Playbox-1 as a basis for word-of-mouth, Caesar's promotional strategy played a huge role in this sales boom.

In particular, the broadcast of the trailer of "Fallout" and the posters of games such as "Resident Evil", "Silent Hill", "Metal Gear Solid" and "Final Fantasy-7" have deeply attracted the attention of all players.

In particular, the posters were already plastered on the billboards of various shopping malls, bookstores, bars, stations, airports and other public places three months in advance.

Terrifying, thriller, soulful, intense, a group of exquisite, intriguing and incomparably attractive promotional posters have long made people look forward to the launch of Playbox-2, and the trailer of "Fallout" looks like the final punch in Caesar's promotional combo, not only igniting the curiosity of all players, but even the general audience and fans who have not been exposed to the game before have begun to pay attention to Playbox-2.

Was this something Caesar had anticipated or was it unintentional? What he himself doesn't say, no one knows.

But in the face of Caesar, who had already seen the first signs of success again, the person behind the scenes who hated him to the bone finally couldn't hold back. (To be continued.) )
