Chapter 451: Will You Spread This Fire?
As the video clicks on, it is in the same style as the Nebula Games promotional video.
A black screen with a narration.
A slightly older female voice echoed in the darkness.
'Yes, that's right'
'This land is called Lothric'
With the low and old female voice of the narrator, the darkness gradually dissipated.
The gray fog and the ruins of the royal city seem to be reminiscent of the prosperity and prosperity of the royal city in its heyday.
The camera slowly pans into the distance, and a ruined land appears throughout the screen.
'The Salary Kings Gather Here'
'In the perilous north, pilgrims discover the truth of an ancient saying'
A desert version of the wasteland, holding a strange crutch in his hand, wearing a bag on his body, and carrying a strange person like a turtle shell with chains, he kept walking towards the front with difficulty.
The camera slowly zooms out, the dry bones on the ground, and the royal city looming behind it.
The sun was mixed with a mist like gray sand.
The name of the game slowly appeared on the screen.
DARK SOULS
The flames will be extinguished, and the shadow of the king will not be seen. ’
The perspective zoomed in on the strange ones who kept moving forward, and in the gray and sandy wasteland, they finally could no longer support the collapse of the fall.
The picture gradually descends into darkness.
When the continuation of the fire is threatened, the bell will ring and the king will be awakened from the grave. ’
The castle in the dark curtain, accompanied by bursts of dull bells, the camera gradually moved down, and pieces of tombstones and coffins appeared on the screen with bleak BGM and bells, which made people feel panicked.
'The Sage of the Dark, Eldridge'
In the darkness, a lump of mud-like creatures kept wriggling and appearing, and in the middle of the mud, it seemed that a crown could be faintly seen.
'Abyss Keepers, Farron's Undead Legion'
In the sarcophagus and the mountain of corpses, a group of soldiers dressed in armor and holding long swords slowly stood up from the mountain of corpses, and gradually fell into the dark twilight, swaying with the cloak behind the wind.
'And the hidden king of the capital of sin, the giant Yum. ’
Wearing a crown of armor and a majestic body, holding a huge sword, Yum slowly stood up, looked into the distance and let out an earth-shattering roar, and at the same time, his body was born into flames and began to burn.
With the roar of the giant Yum, the screen fell into darkness again, and the old and low female narrator sounded again.
On the stone platform where the candles were burned, a crown was held up by a pair of jade hands.
In fact, the king will eventually abandon his throne, and those who fail to spread the fire will rise. ’
The perspective is farther away, and in the unclear picture, a young woman kneeling on the stone platform slowly grabs the crown and puts it on her head.
Beside her were countless dry bones.
'The nameless immortal with the curse on his back is not even qualified to be a firewood. ’
Flames burning in the darkness, the woman who had previously worn the crown on her head stepped forward with a corpse in her arms.
For this reason, the ashes without fire thirst for embers. ’
Then the BGM, which was originally a little bleak, suddenly became invigorated.,The style of painting also changed.,There was content that made all players excited.。
Footage of the actual battle in the game.
Characters wearing armor and wielding swords fight against various monsters.
Fight a massive giant, accompanied by a slap into the darkness; Fighting with the skeleton with the sword was directly slashed five times in a row; Fight a knight with a thunderbolt and be pierced by a lightning spear; Fight the fire-breathing dragon and fall on fire.
Finally, the main character, dressed in armor, slowly sits down by the campfire with a spiral sword in it.
The screen goes dark, and the name of the game, Dark Souls, reappears.
With the end of the promotional video, it immediately attracted countless players to discuss.
First of all, the theme is biased towards the style of the dark European and American Ragnarok mythology, and the name of fire seems to be the core thing in the game.
It's like the Dragonborn in The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim.
Only the Dragonborn will eventually be able to learn the Dragon's Roar to 'kill' Alduin, and in Dark Souls, it is necessary to keep the flames burning if the world is not destroyed, so it takes someone to pass the fire.
Then in the video, the flame extinguishing is linked to the salary king, saying that when the flame is about to be extinguished, the salary king must come forward, which obviously shows that the flame and the salary king have some kind of connection.
However, later in the trailer, it is said that the king will eventually give up the throne, which symbolizes the fear that the salary king may have to pay for letting the flame continue, which makes the salary kings reluctant to continue to be kings.
This is a contradiction, if you want the world not to be destroyed, you need the flame not to be extinguished, and the flame is not extinguished and related to the salary king; But maintaining the flame requires a certain price for the Salary King, and this price may be life, so the Salary King is unwilling.
In the end, the player may be manipulating the so-called cursed undead waste wood, which cannot be the so-called firewood, because there is no so desire, the player wants to kill the salary king to seize the flame and pass the flame on, which should be a story of passing the fire.
With the release of the promotional video of Nebula Games, it has attracted countless players to analyze and interpret the background and story of the game.
There are even many crazy players on the Internet who have made a short three or four minute promotional trailer into a forty or fifty minute analysis and interpretation video.
From the dozens of frames that appeared in the video, a lot of them were analyzed.
The most important thing is that with the words in the game trailer, as well as some of the monsters that appeared in the actual combat demonstration behind the game, they were stunned to guess a lot of answers.
"Are all Detective Conan? How much can you guess in one trailer? ”
Looking at the various comments of online players in the Nebula game, as well as the story analysis posts of Lao Gao who was refined in the forum community, Yang Chen couldn't help but be surprised.
This game has not yet come out, and players have guessed that this is a game of passing the fire?
has already been analyzed, and Yang Chen is not ready to sell suspense.
Immediately, Yang Chen picked up his mobile phone on his official blog and continued to send a message.
'Awesome, the 4-minute promotional trailer can be guessed by you, and the specific plot and game content will not be revealed, but one thing you are right, this is indeed a story that spreads fire, so do you pass on this fire? ’
Yang Chen, who was smiling, sent the latest news on the official blog, and then set up a poll below.
It was almost just sent out, just about ten minutes.
More than 50,000 players have voted to spread the fire, and the comments are all comments from excited players.
'Biography! This fire must be preached! ’
Of course it spreads! I've got this fire done! ’
I can't wait to embark on the journey of spreading the fire! After the tempering of "Wolf: Shadow Passes Twice", I will definitely be able to complete this game this time! ’
The promotional video of the new game, coupled with Yang Chen's personal admission that they actually guessed some of the game's content, such as what the main line was, made them even more excited.
