Chapter 244: Promotional Video (For Us ~ Stay Silent Plus 5/5)
On May 15th, all players who have purchased the MGC2 handheld will open the homepage of the handheld game store and a promotional video will automatically pop up.
And in many other places, Moya Technology has also placed a lot of advertisements!
Video websites, game websites, self-media ......
Almost all the popular channels, Moya Technology has bought them all, and the publicity funds invested even exceed the three games that were first escorted before.
This is the best opportunity for Lin Xiaoguang to see a turnaround, with hundreds of thousands of publicity funds, what is there to save?
On the other hand, the game "Zodiac Guardian" is also known to players for a number of reasons, and that is the first 3D game from Shimmer Studios!
From an independent studio to a major game manufacturer, the road has been very bumpy. Those big manufacturers that can really occupy a place in the global game market have almost every one of them with a few masterpieces and a few well-known big IPs.
The switch to 3D games is undoubtedly a key step in the transformation.
It's a pity...... The game made was actually exclusive to the MGC2 handheld platform for a limited time, and many players who played games such as knocking bowls on the PC side were disappointed.
It's just a game, so you can't spend nearly 2,000 yuan to buy a useless handheld just for this game, right?
There are still many people who are lamenting, feeling that Shimmer Studio is committed to Moya Technology for short-term interests, for fear that because of the coolness of the handheld platform, this game will be dragged down cold.
But no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a strong combination, with word of mouth and money on the other, this trailer has successfully entered the field of vision of a large number of players.
……
As soon as the promotional video opened, there was a black screen and the logo of Shimmer Studio was released.
Then the screen shifts to the scene in the game.
Nearby, the grass is green; In the distance, the sun shines through the clouds and falls on the earth.
A stone temple full of ancient Chinese style stands on top of a wasteland, and under the sunlight, it seems to be shrouded in a layer of misty smoke, which is not real.
The camera slowly zooms in, and under the breeze, the green grass gently sways like waves, the trees on both sides are also swaying, and the clouds in the sky seem to be moving slowly at a speed that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
In the grass, butterflies fly; Under the trees, the fallen leaves are scattered.
The beautiful scene can be directly taken and used as a desktop.
The camera turns, the horse's hooves step over the small ditch, picking up the water flowers, and the picture also vibrates slightly.
On the sparkling water, a long stone bridge that has existed for an unknown number of years spreads far away to the intersection of the sea and the sky.
In the magnificent temple, a young man dressed in ancient Chinese costumes was running. He ran from the shadows to the sun, and then continued to run in the shadows in front of him, when it was bright and dark, the clothes and textures on his body were clearly visible, and the movements were smooth and natural, which was not lost to many works that used motion capture.
A long stone bridge tens of meters high leads to the temple in the distance, and in one corner of the picture, the protagonist on a horse looks so small.
The picture went black, as if there was some noise.
When the screen lights up again, the protagonist is looking ahead with a sword in hand, and a giant dragon is rushing out of the sea and flying into the sky, with waves between its scales and claws.
A dragon roar resounded through the sky, and at the same time, the melody in the background became tense!
Then, one by one, the guardians of the zodiac appeared one after another!
On the grassland, the afternoon horses are galloping, sweeping like the wind;
In the vast desert, the snake traveled under the bottom of the sand seabed, and suddenly burrowed out of the sand, and bursts of yellow sand covered the sky......
Different perspectives, different camera movements, and different positions of the protagonists.
Sometimes it's looking up at the feet of the behemoth, sometimes it's climbing on the body of the behemoth, or it's simply crawling to the top of the monster's head, already raising its sword and ready to stab at the behemoth's weakness!
But these shots, without exception, all highlight the enormity of the Zodiac Guardian and the insignificance of the protagonist's diaphragm!
Eventually, the moment Starcaster's sword pierced the seal on the Guardian's head, the screen turned black again, and the title of the game appeared.
Zodiac Guardians!
Then there is a line of small print: coming soon, May 25, on sale worldwide!
For the first time, Shimmer Studio used the slogan "Global Sale".
In fact, this game does prepare a bilingual version in Chinese and English, after all, there is not much copywriting in the game, find a translation team to translate it, and then divide it into Chinese and English bilingual dubbing, it doesn't cost much in total, and it doesn't cost much.
Moya Technology originally wanted to use this game to open up some Western markets a little, and it was imperative to prepare a bilingual version.
However, there are some minor problems with the translation of the name.
"Zodiac" is a concept unique to the Chinese region, generally translated as "Chinese Zodiac" in English, Zodiac means "zodiac" or "zodiac", that is, Aries, Taurus, Gemini a bunch of constellations.
However, if the game is translated into Chinese Zodiac Guardians, it will look very bloated and redundant. So it's simply called "Zodiac Guardians", and as for whether there will be ambiguity on the part of Western players, then whatever, anyway, it's just the opportunity to popularize the traditional concept of "zodiac" for them.
……
As soon as this promotional video came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among a large number of players!
"I'll go, the picture is so good? Can you run to such a limit on the handheld? Shouldn't the last sentence 'the promotional picture does not represent the final quality' send us away? ”
"This art style looks so comfortable, and it's also Chinese."
"Action games, and what are these bosses fighting, they look so big!"
"A brief look at the game introduction.,It seems to be the guardian statue of the Zodiac.,That is,The protagonist has to fight these big guys one by one?"
"Then how to fight, this is not a pedicure, it is a pedicure!"
"I don't know, but looking at the effect of the promotional video, it's really good, it's a little itchy."
"Wake up, the game costs 150, but you still have to spend 2000 to buy a handheld."
"I'll tell you I've already bought a handheld...... It's been a week, but luckily there are new games, otherwise I would have considered second-hand! ”
"Okay, then you try the poison first, and I'll think about it if it's fun."
"This time it seems to be a limited-time exclusive, it's okay, I'll wait three months for the PC version to be played!"
In fact, many players didn't care about what the new game of Shimmer Studio was, and they didn't have any special expectations for this new game for handhelds, but when they saw this promotional video, their enthusiasm for the game was suddenly aroused!
This promotional video focuses on three aspects, namely picture quality, world view, and boss battles!
These three aspects are all the highlights of "Zodiac Guardian", and they are also not available in the current games on the market.
In terms of the picture, although the picture of "Zodiac Guardian" is still far from some of the top 3A masterpieces, it is already the top level in terms of the picture of the handheld, and it is on par with "Dark Dawn". After all, the handheld screen is so big, even if it is a 4K display, for many people, it is not clear from 2K.
And its world view is based on the traditional Chinese culture has been improved, not only to promote the traditional culture, but also not to collide with other Chinese games, it looks very fresh.
In terms of boss battles, players are very much looking forward to how such a small protagonist can fight a giant beast a hundred times their size, which also leaves enough suspense.
Many players' expectations for this game have really been hooked, and they have said: Moya Technology, you are a cheat, you were deceived last time and bought your handheld, and it was originally to block you, but now forgive you for the sake of Shimmer Studio, why don't you hurry up and sell the game!!
