Chapter 856: First Strike (1)

Saturday, July 13, fine.

London, England, the arcade hall with the most recognized "masters" in London, FLY arcade, because of the arrival of the weekend, is completely in full swing.

"Here! There's going to be an apple smashing down here. If you can't dodge, you'll be bitten to death by the fish below. A teenager said excitedly to the white youth who was playing, "Jump! Fast! GOOD! That's it! That's great! ”

His coins have long been played, and now he is only reluctant to give up in front of the machine, doing free commentary, desperately explaining for players who know or don't know, if ...... Someone leaves suddenly, and he can continue to play for a while.

"Dang!" A coin was photographed in front of him, and the young man who had just passed the customs said with great interest: "Don't say it!" Let me play on my own! This game is really exciting, what else do you mean? ”

This arcade hall, with more than a hundred machines, has four of the latest metal slugs, and now, each of them is overcrowded, and the famous generals who were on fire a few months ago are no longer cared for.

"Who's playing?" Hearing someone say this, a teenager who was waiting to play Metal Slug pouted: "As long as you watch Metal Slug once, you don't want to play famous generals, okay?" ”

"It's just that it's too much worse." "It's not a game of the times." "The playability of the two is much worse, and I originally thought that the famous will be a masterpiece, a masterpiece. Now I know that it was because I didn't encounter an alloy slug. ”

is also a banner game, how big the gap between Metal Slug and the famous general, I'm afraid any player who has mixed in the arcade hall knows.

It was the era, the huge gap in the production concept, and Metal Slug dared to claim to be the pinnacle of banner level arcade games, and it definitely deserved its name.

Now, one after the other, with a difference of less than a year, the limelight of the famous generals has not yet reached the peak, and they were immediately squeezed down.

"Hey......" The boss looked at the arcade hall with a mixture of sweet and painful eyes, and sighed: "The famous general's book has not been earned...... I didn't expect an alloy slug to come out again...... Should I be happy or should I cry......"

"Hey!" Before he finished speaking, the voices of several young people in front of him woke him up from his thoughts, and a teenager wearing a famous brand walked up to him with four or five classmates: "Anderson, what are you doing with this expression?" ”

"I'm laughing, I'm crying. It's weird. A boy with earrings and a punk head whistled: "Is the business too good?" We're old customers, let's hear about it? ”

Anderson handed them a few pieces of chewing gum and said helplessly, "Yes, the old customer...... A few of you didn't attack the famous generals every day a month ago, and now, you still play? ”

"Still playing famous generals? Are you kidding me? The brand-name boy who took the lead widened his eyes: "Put a metal slug that is ten times more fun and don't play to play a famous general?" Am I sick? ”

"Old Anderson, you're outdated. Who still plays famous generals now! Metal Slug! MetalSlug is the mainstream. The punk head also scoffed: "We still pushed it, hahaha!" ”

"You know that, too?" Anderson is almost thirty years old, looking at these people who don't worry about him at all, he smiled bitterly: "Even you don't play anymore, do you know that I lost money?" Three famous generals, one thousand two hundred dollars. Plus almost a year's worth of electricity. At least fifteen or six hundred dollars! It's good that I can get half of it back! ”

The famous boy blinked, threw out a Marlboro, lit the lighter with a stroke of his hand, and lowered his voice: "Old Anderson, tell you a secret ......"

"Hey! Buddy! I'm only twenty-eight! Twenty-eight! ”

“OK…… Uncle Anderson, tell you a secret ......" When the famous boy spoke, his expression began to fly, and he took out a magazine from behind him: "FAMI through the French edition, don't say I didn't help you, this was left for me by my uncle in the distribution department, and it will only be listed in France the day after tomorrow......"

"Brush!" Before he could finish speaking, the magazine was immediately snatched away, and Anderson read it hungrily.

As soon as he took the first look, his eyes immediately straightened.

"Interview with the President of China's Qin Dynasty: The Warm-up Chapter on the Other Side of Clouds and Mountains, Three Masterpieces Will Be Released at the Same Time."

An interview with the Qin Dynasty?

Now arcade owners around the world really love and hate this company!

He read it patiently, and before he could say a few words, he raised his head suddenly: "After clearing the customs, there will be a propaganda animation on the other side of the clouds and mountains?!" ”

60% of arcade hall owners are video game fans themselves, and Anderson happens to be one. And it is far longer than the young players present, but he has witnessed the transition from the Atari era to the Nintendo era, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hardcore player.

"You don't know the other side of the clouds and mountains?" When the famous boy said this name, his eyes were on fire.

Half a year of foreshadowing, several promotional pictures have been announced, and a solid foundation has been laid for all players. Now, there is only one opportunity left to ignite this laid firewood in one fell swoop.

"How could you not know!" Anderson's voice was a little excited: "It's destined to be a masterpiece!" I'm sure! I'm sure! ”

"It's just a year of time, it's too hard! The Qin Dynasty is to put it little by little, and not give us a good time! Damn! ”

"That's right!" The famous boy's eyes were blazing: "Now, every bit of information is crucial!" Anderson, I want a charter flight! Today, I will pass this metal slug that has been in stock for five days! ”

Scenes like this have exploded in a small group of gamers around the world. However, this time is different!

It's completely different, because, this time the Qin Dynasty broke the news too much! It's so big that all players around the world can't even imagine it!

Four fierce materials! Exploded a small group of people around the world in an instant!

"Three masterpieces!?" In Italy, a high school, the whole class of seven or eight boys gathered around the desk after class, and each one of them had burning eyes.

Not only the game fans of their class, but also other classes. They were faced with a magazine that had obviously not yet been published and had a strong smell of ink.

However, no one has doubts about the magazine, and its name represents a kind of majesty in the era of electronic entertainment.

"Metal slugs? Striker 1945? The King of Fighters 92?! A teenager's eyes were red, and his hand was holding the hand of a boy next to him: "Colcock! You tell me! It's true! You really didn't lie to us about this magazine?! Three more this year? Three of them!? ”

"Bastard! You let go of my hand! I'm not interested in you! ”

"Don't let it go!"

Finally shaking off this piece of kraft candy, Colcock said proudly: "Of course, how could I lie to you? My uncle revealed this himself! The Italian version of the screenshot without permission! Can there be fake? ”

The uncle's party exists at all times.

"I'm so happy!" The young man before didn't say a word, and immediately grabbed his hand with both hands, and the other party's face cramped: "Three!" I thought I would die before the other side of the clouds and mountains were released. Now I'm miraculously alive again! Thanks to the Qin Dynasty, you saved my life! Hahaha! ”

"The quality of the metal slug is beyond imagination!" Colcock gritted his teeth and shook off the other party's disgusting claws again, glaring at him hatefully and saying, "No one thought that the Qin Dynasty would have the spare strength to make such a high-level game while releasing the other side of Yunhe Mountain!" ”

"Yes! Couldn't be better! I now go to play three rounds a day. "Oh...... Three rounds? Are you kidding me? In the arcade hall at the entrance of the school, do you tell me there is another one? "It's funny, isn't it overcrowded when you go to Metal Slug one day?" "Hehe, you can go and play Transform Ninja, Dinosaur Kombat, famous general." "you! Buck, whoever loves to play plays goes! Who wants to play these games after playing Metal Slug? I'm afraid you can only play if you can't wait in line to pass the time, right? "That's right! Every coin is precious. ”

The noise sounded here, and at the same time, in a university in the United States, their video game club, everyone's eyes were straight.

Branding is a process of shaping. The Blizzard brand in the future, once any game is launched, is highly anticipated, it is a ten-year brand shaped by others from Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, and World of Warcraft. ROIT is a five-year brand established by League of Legends. And the Qin Dynasty, four years, all kinds of high-quality products, Pokemon detonated the global sales champion. The other side of the clouds and mountains has not been seen, and it has attracted the attention of players around the world with an extremely stunning figure.

The brand of the Qin Dynasty, four years of life gathering, players have long had a scale in their hearts.

"Information on the other side of the clouds and mountains?" The president gasped: "Every game has been cleared? ”

This sentence made the eyes of most people in the video game club light up.

Now, what's the least?

It's not a game, it's a fact!

Information on the other side of the clouds and mountains!

Every time, he walked out with a half-covered face with a pipa, walked around in a charming way, and then walked back gracefully. But no one can lift this beautiful veil and explore Fang Ze.

My heart is itching to death!

Before, they could still endure it, because after all, there were only three videos on the other side of the cloud and mountain, and this rate of "feeding" every two months could temporarily settle them down. But there is a tipping point in this stability.

Just like when Blizzard released the Warcraft expansion in the future, as soon as it was announced, everyone had an attitude of "oh, got it", because everyone knew that it would be a long time before it was announced and developed.

But as time goes on, this sense of anticipation will become stronger and stronger with a little bit of data accumulation, and finally because a particularly tempting news reaches a critical point and explodes!

There have been several ad-hoc press conferences in Blizzard's history, two of which were when frenzied players started attacking Blizzard servers, and the worst one brought down the main server. I had to hold a press conference. On the other two occasions, the hotline was busy around the clock, and the official website was slow to browse and was on the verge of crashing.

This is all an explosive form in which the player reaches a critical point, anger rises from the heart, and evil grows to the side of the gall!

Right now...... There is no Internet, no forums for players to express their anger, and once the player's sense of anticipation is fully aroused, it will only become more violent! Even more incredible!
