Unlike several other DLCs, Pulse Entertainment has clearly put a lot of effort into it this time, not only making an announcement in advance, but also conducting a live event in the evening.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Chi, who was full of wine and food, leaned on the sofa, used his mobile phone to connect to the TV, and activated the holographic projection function.

Today, in addition to brain imaging equipment, external VR equipment and projection AR equipment also have a high degree of fidelity. However, as Lin Chi saw in the game hall, no matter how "lifelike" traditional VR games are, there is a limit after all.

Of course, it's also a good choice to use these things to watch live broadcasts now.

The lights in the living room dimmed, and several pillars of light suddenly cast in the center of the room, reflecting the slender figure of the hostess standing in the studio.

"Ah, hello everyone, I'm Xia Shuang, the host of CHTV's e-sports channel, and we're meeting again."

As in previous appearances, the long-haired woman was still wearing a black T-shirt with a pale skull pattern, and a cold expression on her baby-fat face.

The host of a live game show doesn't need to be very formal. Even the host of Xia Shuang's style is very popular in the player circle.

Looking at the rather cute host, Lin Chi whistled. Frankenstein, who was watching the live broadcast on his phone, made a puzzled voice:

"Do you like this style?"

"I'm just blowing it." Lin Chi smiled awkwardly.

While he was chatting with Frankenstein, Xia Shuang spoke again, and with the host's voice, another pillar of light fell, illuminating the bathroom door of Lin Chi's home.

"The guest invited to the studio today is Mr. Lu from the China branch of Pulse Entertainment." Xia Shuang introduced.

"So why did this come out of the toilet?" Lin Chi joked casually.

"It's just a coincidence of the projection location." Frankenstein explained in a serious way.

"I know." Lin Chi said weakly, focusing his gaze on the man who had just come out of the toilet door.

It seemed to be the first time he had seen an employee of Pulse Entertainment, and on the surface, the man with a greasy face, a suit and leather shoes, who was about thirty years old, was no different from any other game company. However, in Lin Chi's opinion, as long as he wears the title of "employee of Pulse Entertainment Company", he will have a suspicious atmosphere.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lao Lu." The man didn't say his real name, but used the title of "self-cooked", and waved his hand to Lin Chi who was sitting on the sofa: "I'm very happy to participate in today's live show." ”

"Hmm, it's okay to call you 'Old Lu', right?" Xia Shuang asked.

"Of course." Mr. Lu nodded: "I'm here today to announce the details of the new expansion. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with the content of this expansion. ”

"So, this expansion pack is not an entourage and equipment, but a new map." Xia Shuang took over the conversation.

"That's right, the name of this map is Nightmare Eye." Mr. Lu said, "Since it is a special map of the expansion pack, the game rules and combat methods of this map are not quite the same as the previous maps. ”

"DLC for All Evils." Lin Chi said with emotion.

Nowadays, there are many game companies that will take apart a complete game before release, and those parts that are divided are DLC that will charge additional money.

Of course, Lin Chi is still more relieved about the festival of Pulse Entertainment Company. After all, companies that can launch quantum computers into space can't be short of money.

However, no matter how reliable Pulse Entertainment is, it can't change the fact that players have to pay again......

"So, how much does this expansion cost?" Before Lao Lu began to explain, Xia Shuang asked a question common to all the audience.

"The price of this expansion pack is 198 yuan." Old Lu said.

As soon as these words came out, there was no need to look at the situation in the forum, Lin Chi knew what comments the audience was making, and Frankenstein on his mobile phone opened the projection of the forum page very appropriately, and a large number of titles that were constantly refreshing appeared in front of Lin Chi's eyes:

"A map sells for 198? Why don't you grab it? ”

"This is too bad!"

"It's just a map, forget it......"

"Damn plotter, you think I'm going to pay for it?"

Seeing those titles, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing: "Ha, that's really the case." ”

In fact, the charging items of the game Paradise of War are already very conscientious compared to those krypton games that still belong to the category of "no krypton players" and often lose all their money when they recharge tens of thousands of yuan.

The base game of Paradise of War is free, with only a few expansions available for a fee. However, perhaps it is precisely because of the previous conscience that the paid map launched this time will make players have such a reaction.

——From a conscientious company for the sake of players, it has evolved into a company that is crazy about making money. This example has appeared more than once in the history of gaming.

The vast majority of these viewers who are expressing their opinions can afford to pay more than 100 yuan, and they may have seen those lessons from the past, and when it comes to "lessons from the past", they may have seen the lessons of the past......

"I remembered a joke."

Speaking of this, Lin Chi leaned lazily on the sofa: "More than ten years ago, there was a game company, and at the large-scale game exhibition they held, the finale announced the project turned out to be a mobile game. When the players questioned, their staff said, 'Don't you have a cell phone?' ’”

"And then." Frankenstein asks.

"Then their junk mobile game failed, and the company went bankrupt and was acquired."

Lin Chi chatted with Frankenstein for a few words, only to see Lao Lu speak again, and a confident smile appeared on his face, which was originally expressionless:

"I know that those of you who are watching the live stream may have an opinion about this pricing. But I can assure you that the content of this expansion pack is absolutely unprecedented. ”

Old Lu paused meaningfully for a few seconds before continuing, "To be exact, Nightmare Eye is not just a map, but a new game mode that we have been developing for a long time. This game mode combines Deathmatch, Advent mode, and the yet-to-be-released Commander mode to give players a new experience like never before. ”

"The mode that has not been officially released will be released first in the expansion pack, which seems to be the usual routine of unscrupulous manufacturers......" Lin Chi sighed.

Having said that, after listening to Lao Lu's explanation, he was already looking forward to it at this time.

I haven't played the advent mode much since I played the old hunter, although this mode is very interesting, but because the loot and followers in it can't be brought out of the game, even if you win, you can only get some skill points, so the popularity of this mode has been relatively sluggish, and it can't be compared with deathmatch at all.

So, this time, Pulse Entertainment intends to "revitalize" the advent mode, and through this so-called "nightmare eye", the advent mode will return to the popularity it had when it was first launched?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi, who was originally paralyzed on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight, listened to Lao Lu, who was standing in the studio, and continued to introduce the content related to "Nightmare Eye":

"I'm sure you're aware that the dozens of maps currently available in Paradise of War are related in terms of plot, and some of them are clear plot lines. For example, the 'City of Chaos' became the 'Killer Capital' after a few decades. There are also some plots that are more hidden, but there are also some plot-oriented players or strategy groups who have discovered the existence of these dark lines. ”

"Everyone's guess is right, this game was developed with all the maps under the same complete world view, and then it was created. Of course, some of these special maps are the result of historical biases. This is the case for example, for the 'Trap City' map. ”

Hearing Lao Lu's words, Lin Chi smiled and said, "This is interesting." ”

——Integrating many of his works under the same world view and forming a huge "universe" together has been an old routine that has been popular since the last century. At that time, the two major comic book giants in the United States, DC and Marvel Comics, both established their own worldviews, and these incomparably huge "universes" continue to expand today.

As a large game that can fight through a variety of maps, it's actually not surprising that Warheaven would choose this narrative mode.

However, the previous connection about the game's plot was all speculation by players, and this is the first time that an official person has admitted this fact in person.

Old Lu cleared his throat as if he was a little excited, and said loudly: "Now, we will reveal to you an important part of this world, the 'Nightmare Dynasty' two thousand years ago!" ”

"On a continent in the East, there was once a splendid and glorious civilization that bloomed, and then quickly withered, and the beginning of the decline of that civilization was the period of time that later generations called the 'Nightmare Dynasty.'"

"At that time, the emperor died suddenly, the new king was unpopular, and the country was divided into hundreds of domains of various sizes, each controlled by a lord. The map of Nightmare Eye is about this dark time! ”

"I'll go, this is to let the player play the rhythm of the 'princes' to fight for the world?" Lin Chi's originally godless eyes finally began to "shine".

According to Lao Lu's introduction, anyone can guess that in the map "Nightmare Eyes", players will play the role of the lord of the territory. The only way to decide the winner may be "becoming a ruler". However, if this is the case, the time constraints in each game of War Paradise are the main factor that hinders players.

- No matter how powerful a lord is, it is impossible to wipe out dozens of neighboring countries and successfully unify the entire continent in five days. It's no surprise that if this kind of map were designed, Pulse Entertainment would have provided a way for players to quickly experience large-scale warfare.

Lin Chi was thinking about it, and Lao Lu had already answered his question:

"Every player who enters the map of Nightmare Eye will take on the role of the lord of a land, recruiting troops to develop their own power, and fighting fiercely with other lords who are eyeing each other."

"Of course, according to the rules of intrabrain imaging game acceleration, we can only provide up to 10 times the speedup, and 120 hours of in-game time per game. However, in order to make the fight 'enjoyable', we have simplified the large-scale battles by referring to the old map 'Ark of the Creator'. ”

"In the Nightmare Eye map, players have the option to switch perspectives freely. You can choose to view your territory through the 'God's Perspective' and check the condition of your territory. You can also choose to return to the 'Lord's body' and control the Lord to give orders himself. The speed of the game will increase when using God's view, and when returning to normal first-person view, the speed will return to normal. ”

"Whether you want to see the war from the sky or go into battle in armor is up to you. We're sure that the Eye of Nightmares map won't disappoint you! ”

After Lou finished explaining, Frankenstein commented, "I want to go back to playing, too." ”

"It's really attractive." Lin Chi said with a smile.

- If this "Nightmare Eye" expansion pack is really as touching as Lao Lu said, the price of 198 yuan is also completely acceptable. At this point, there were fewer skepticism in the forums, replaced by a large number of posts discussing the contents of the new expansion.

"According to you, there should be a big battle in this map." Xia Shuang, who had been standing silently next to her, returned to Lao Lu's side and asked, "Will there be a brief preview before this expansion pack is officially launched?" For example, CG animation or projection and the like. ”

"Well, it stands to reason that there should be......"

Lao Lu smiled, and the words suddenly changed: "But I believe everyone is also very clear about our style." In our opinion, the trailer may cause spoilers, and in order to keep it mysterious, we won't be providing any teaser footage of what 'Nightmare Dynasty' will look like until the expansion is officially launched, so please go and experience it for yourself. It only takes 198 yuan to experience this plot, and it is definitely a sure profit! ”

"Pulse Entertainment's advertising copy is still as bad as ever......" Lin Chi shook his head.

"Do you want to buy it?" Frankenstein asked.

"Buy, buy, buy." Lin Chi's answer was unusually concise.

Even though the man in the studio was selling Guanzi, after listening to the guy's introduction, Lin Chi also became interested in this new expansion pack. Moreover, the sudden release of a new map at such a time may also be a hidden mystery.

- Could this so-called "Nightmare Dynasty" have something to do with Methuselah?
