Chapter 269. Update the patch
In just one week, "The Last of Us" became a complete hit.
The game was released on Thursday, and as of Sunday, its national sales have reached three million copies, which is equivalent to the sales of a work above the standard for more than half a year under normal publicity conditions, not to mention, this is only the sales of store statistics.
The Last of Us still tops the sales charts, with the digital version of the game selling more than two million last week, according to official statistics.
In other words, in four days, "The Last of Us" has exceeded five million sales.
And that's just the number of players playing for the story.
After the game's multiplayer mode was unlocked by players, the topic quickly surpassed that of the main game, because this mode was so much fun.
Sixty separate survival games, expansive open maps, random weapons and equipment on the ground, and shrinking safe zones all combine to give the game an addictive power.
Xu Rui saw that the multiplayer mode was so popular, and the worries in his heart finally dissipated.
In another world, this game mode, known as "Chicken", is equally popular, but it has all sorts of drawbacks, such as cheats, poor textures and optimizations that don't seem to have been done at all, and slow update progress, but in Huaxia, in the hands of the developers of Hatsune Games, these shortcomings are gone.
First of all, the game is an SN4 exclusive game, in Huaxia, where the console has been popularized, the acceptance of handle shooting games is higher, and there is no problem with plug-ins in the exclusive mode of the console, this is a game without any plug-ins.
Secondly, "The Last of Us" itself has a very high picture level of cinematic quality, the optimization of the corresponding host is excellent, and the interaction with various items in the game is only unexpected, nothing can not be done, so that the picture in multiplayer mode, the level of optimization, interaction, etc. have a first-class level, just imagine, in the movie-level realistic picture, run smoothly, shoot, and at the same time can use a variety of terrain and props to fight, this is simply a fantastic game.
Finally, when the game's multiplayer mode was in full swing, Hatsune Games released the game's first update patch.
Wang Ze has opened up the main plot of the ontology at this time, and is indulging in multiplayer mode with his friends, because of the slightly funny sentence after his victory, "Good luck, eat chicken tonight", this mode is also called "eat chicken" mode by players.
He had just finished a fight and was taken out in the first five minutes, so he could only watch his teammates play, and at this time, he received an update push.
"Updated?"
Wang Ze said in his voice, and then opened the browser's built-in browser to see what the patch that was launched just a week after it was released was.
At first, there are some numerical correction patches, such as bullet damage, gun damage, etc., as well as text corrections and some system bug fixes.
Then, Wang Ze saw that the game's multiplayer mode would no longer need to be used by clearing the main plot.
"Okay!"
Wang Ze couldn't help but praise, although the main plot of the game is very good, even if this game has no multiplayer content at all, it is completely worth spending more than 300 to buy such a game, but he still prefers the multiplayer mode to open the black with friends.
The social needs of Chinese gamers are incredible, and even pure single-player games can be influenced by social interaction and their evaluation will change, not to mention the "chicken" mode, which encourages teamwork and PVP games.
After Wang Ze felt the charm of the game, he immediately recommended several friends to play together, but some of them thought that they had not bought a console, and some felt that it was very troublesome to get through the main line first, so they all refused Wang Ze's invitation.
Now, the timing of this patch is actually just right.
On the one hand, the first players like Wang Ze have already opened up the main plot for more than ten hours, and they are addicted to multiplayer mode at this time, and there is no impact on the presence or absence of this patch, on the other hand, it is also the period of word-of-mouth fermentation of this game, and the multiplayer mode of the game is being discussed on major social platforms, and there are many players who have heard the wind, and they may not be so interested in the main plot, and they just want to play the "chicken" mode with their friends, so, the opening of this patch, It can make the promotion of the game easier.
Wang Ze immediately posted this to the group, and at the same time @ a few friends who didn't buy the game because they were too lazy to play the main story.
After a heated discussion, Wang Ze cut back into the game and looked at it, his teammates were still struggling, and it seemed that this one might enter the finals, so he cut it out again and continued to read the update document.
Then, Wang Ze saw that players who have installed the update patch will upgrade the game's multiplayer mode after twelve o'clock tonight, and the added element is the airdrop mechanism.
After the first circle of the game, there will be random aerial drops in the safe areas of the map, which may contain advanced healing drugs, advanced armor, helmets, and several firearms that can only be dropped in the air, such as sniper rifles and heavy machine guns that are compatible with 12.7mm large-caliber bullets!
In other words, if you're not lucky at first, getting the drop is a chance to turn it into a winner, and on the other hand, the player can also squat near the drop to kill other players who come to fight for the supplies.
In addition, the update document also states that due to the existence of germ infection, there may not only be weapons in the airdrop box, but there may also be zombies, such as the kind of giant zombies that are three or four meters high, which may also crawl out of the airdrop material box and start killing.
At the same time, at the beginning of each game, a certain number of zombies will be randomly refreshed on the map, and these zombies will attack players indiscriminately, and even monsters similar to the main boss level of the game.
Of course, after defeating these monsters, you will also get many benefits, and the rewards are no less than airdrops.
After reading it, Wang Ze suddenly sighed with some emotion, if this patch is implemented, then the gameplay of the game is likely to have a huge change, if after the start, the number of zombies is smaller, and the intensity is also very low, then players can still ignore these zombies for regular games, if after the start, there is a huge powerful zombie in the map, then players may have to cooperate against this monster to some extent, and then carry out an internal war.
Wang Ze suddenly figured out why the multiplayer mode still picked up 12.7 bullets that are not usually used against people at the beginning.
Because these bullets are used to attack zombies!
