Chapter 439: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
In addition to these, Yang Chen also highlighted some other plans on the Switch platform.
For example, in the membership system, players can choose to spend 28 yuan to buy a membership, and every month there will be regular limited games in the membership library for players to play for free, and they can choose one of the games to be added to the inventory forever.
And the first batch of limited free games, Yang Chen has announced in advance at the press conference.
Powerstorm's Epic Continent and Nebula Games' Wolves: Shadow Dies, Twice, will be available as limited games for the first month.
Of course, if you want to play, you must log in as a member, or the membership has not expired.
In addition, members can also play most of the DLC content for free, which requires the manufacturer's consent to join the membership program.
However, for Yang Chen's announcement of the limited free game in the first month, there was a power storm of "Epic Continent", which surprised everyone.
Although "Epic Continent" is already an old game, the quality can be said to be extremely awesome.
And once it enters the discount list, "Epic Continent" is a frequent visitor to the top ten best-selling lists.
With such a game, Yang Chen was able to PY it into a limited free game, and this PY's ability is definitely not ordinarily strong.
Listening to Yang Chen's announcement, all game manufacturers were surprised.
However, for Yang Chen, he didn't think that he would lose, you must know that membership fees are a trickle, and there is a renewal cost.
Why do so many members introduce what hierarchies?
Isn't it to increase the sunk cost of users?
What's so good about a switch membership in Nebula Games?
There will be a limited number of free games every month, and there are even triple-A masterpieces such as "Wolf: Shadow Passed Twice" and "Epic Continent", as well as DLC in the game that is free to use.
And it's all based on the fact that you have a membership, and there's also the fact that Hi Plus One.
The member's limited free games don't mean that you can't play after this month and change a batch next month.
As long as you receive it this month, and your membership does not expire, this game is equivalent to giving it to you.
This is always the most heartwarming.
And when you have a game in your account, you may be willing to give up the pit membership, but there are five or ten in your account, so are you still willing to do it?
Regarding the profit system on the Switch platform, Yang Chen discussed with Xu Yu and the operation team for a long time, and finally determined a strategic operation policy.
That is, for players and distributors and third-party game manufacturers, you will feel like you are making money.
But we definitely don't lose money in the end!
In addition to the above content introduction to the membership system, there is also a very key point, that is, the unique games on the follow-up switch platform.
"Over the next year, we'll be bringing several games on the Switch platform." Yang Chen opened his mouth, and a promotional video appeared on the big screen behind him.
'The history of the kingdom of Hyrule is a history of the invasion of the plague called Gaynon from time immemorial. ’
Accompanied by background sound, the screen appears with a green forest, ocean, and ice field, which looks very beautiful.
But then the turquoise sky suddenly turned blood-red, and a black dragon-like creature swirled over the magnificent royal city.
'Calamity Ganon is a demon king born in Hyrule in the primeval times, who takes on a gesture of resentment and resurrects every once in a while. At that time, the one who possesses the soul of the brave will join the holy princess who has inherited the blood of the goddess to reclaim peace for Hyrule. ’
'Ancient ancestors created four giant beasts that could be manipulated by humans and had the appearance of wild beasts, and self-aware puppet soldiers, defenders, to fight their enemies. The royal princess who wields the power of the seal and the knights chosen by the sword of exorcism, who have sealed Ganon with the beasts and defenders in the distant primeval times. ’
One day, however, a hundred years ago, a soothsayer from the kingdom of Hyrule left a prophecy that said: "The plague that brought calamity to the earth has a precursor to the resurrection, but the power that revolts against it is still dormant on the earth." "The people of the Kingdom of Hyrule also imitated their ancestors to fight against them. Select four people with excellent abilities from Hyrule, give them control of the beast, and find Link, the knight chosen by the Exorcist Sword. ’
Then the princess was elected as the leader, and the other five were heroes to consolidate their power. With the princess and the five heroes together, they should have been able to seal the calamity, but the cunning Ganon resurrected from the depths of the underground of Hyrule Castle, controlled the defenders and the four divine beasts and attacked back, the townspeople and the heroes who controlled the divine beasts died, Link also fell seriously injured to protect the princess, and the kingdom of Hyrule was destroyed by Ganon. ’
The burning royal city, the divine beasts and guardians controlled by Ganon, as well as the heroes who sacrificed their lives, and the princess who sealed Ganon with her own divine power.
and Link in his sleep.
It's a very traditional story, and the promotional video is not a real animation to demonstrate.
Instead, the original illustrations add some of the beauty materials prepared in advance, and the narration explains the promotional video that arouses the emotions of the players.
But these alone are not enough, after all, time is limited, and it is not easy for Wang Ye and them to make the film of the propaganda poster cake like this.
So the next most important thing is that Yang Chen needs to personally go out and introduce the characteristics of this game to all players, and add some sesame seeds and spices to this already drawn pie.
In all fairness, in fact, the graphics of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" are still quite different from the main era 3A, not really unwilling to do their best, or limited by the function of the platform.
However, the most ingenious thing is that the game is chosen to be a semi-cartoonish art style, which gives people a dreamlike feeling, and combined with the rather royal plot of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", it can be said that it is just right like cheese bibimbap.
It even gives players the feeling that if The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild uses a realistic style, then it won't be The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
But the graphics are just the spices, and it's the gameplay that really matters.
It can be said that "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" truly shows a masterful level of production in the open world, and it is also a very thorough implementation of the breakthrough and challenge the limits of the adventurous spirit, and do everything to do what the player wants to do, which is the design and creativity of this game.
In the dream memory, there are even countless players who have chosen to buy the switch because of this game, which shows the charm of its game.
