Chapter 344: Thirty Lives per Person (3,000 last month, 300 monthly pass this month)
Hu Bin felt as if he was a little persuaded by Zhong Ming, and looking at Zhong Ming's play, it seemed that he was indeed ...... It's a bit difficult enough.
Zhong Ming patted Hu Bin on the shoulder, said "continue to make" and left.
Hu Bin picked up the handle again and hit it again.
Well, sure enough, it's an illusion......
It's still as difficult as ever!
Could it be that it's because I'm not a hardcore single-player gamer?
Hu Bin was puzzled, and planned to wait for the game to be almost developed, and then ask a special tester to test the strength of the game to see if it was suitable.
……
"Boss, the invitation from IGP has arrived!"
As soon as Zhong Ming returned to the Shimmer Studio, Fu Xingan had already rushed to report to him.
"yes, got it."
Zhong Ming opened the e-invitation on the bracelet and skimmed it roughly.
There are really a lot of games from Shimmer Studios this year.
From "Resident Evil" at the beginning of the year, to the later "Xuanjia Project", "Interstellar Tinder", and then to the recent "Ink Cloud 2", all of them have had a great impact on the world.
The IGP award ceremony is scheduled for December 29th, and "Wolf" will probably be almost developed by then, leaving only the final finishing touches, and Zhong Ming plans to put a promotional video of Wolf at the awards ceremony to warm up the game in advance.
As for whether it can win the best game of the year this time, it's hard to say, the invitation just said that it has been nominated for many awards, but the specific list of winners will be announced on the spot.
"Resident Evil" and "Ink Cloud 2" were nominated for Game of the Year;
"Resident Evil" and "Project Xuanjia" were nominated for Best Shooter;
"Ink and Smoke 2" was nominated for Best Action Adventure Game and Most Creative Game;
Star Tinder was nominated for Strategy Game of the Year.
The list of selected awards alone is scary enough, and even if only half of them win, Shimmer Studios will become famous around the world.
In fact, after several masterpieces were launched one after another, especially the popularity of "Xuanjia Project" around the world, Shimmer Studio already has a high reputation, but without the blessing of IGP's annual game award, there are always shortcomings.
Zhong Ming was thinking about it, and Miao Zhu also came.
"That...... The Xingyou Carnival has also sent an invitation, and this year it will provide us with the entire booth, are we going to go? Miao Zhu asked.
Zhong Ming immediately nodded: "Go, of course go." When? ”
"Next weekend. If you want to start a stage, you have to prepare in advance. Miao Zhu said.
"Open. You go and connect with the staff of Xingyou.com, and the booth will display all our new equipment as much as possible. By the way, the DLC of "Ink Cloud 2" and the demo version of "Wolf" have also been arranged. ”
Zhong Ming instructed two words, and Miao Zhu went to arrange it.
The IGP Awards Ceremony is basically held in December, while the Star Game Carnival is held in mid-October every year.
At last year's Star Game Carnival, Zhong Ming was still doing the promotion of "Resident Evil", and at that time, the GAME OMNI simulator appeared in the player's field of vision for the first time.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and Yunuo Technology's GS1 emulator has replaced GAME OMNI as the hottest emulator device now, and Zhong Ming has also begun to produce "Wolf".
"It's a great opportunity to give players a tryout."
Zhong Ming had almost forgotten about the Star Tour Carnival, but now the organizer has sent an invitation to participate.
In this way, it is also a good time to warm up "Wolf" in the Chinese player group first, so that Chinese players can eat a bite of the hot.
Many Western manufacturers announce new games in the Western media, and when the news reaches the Huaxia region, Chinese players can only take a second bite, since Shimmer Studio is a game company in Huaxia, it is natural to take care of the feelings of Chinese players in this regard.
……
The scene of the Xingyou carnival.
This time the process is similar to the last carnival, and the location is the same, except that this time the organizers have vacated a large booth for Shimmer Studio.
With Shimmer Studios' current deck, there's nothing wrong with having the largest booth.
Zhong Ming arrived two days in advance and directed the staff to set up the scene.
This is a game trial for players, and it is also equivalent to an important promotional opportunity, of course, to put the latest equipment on display.
In addition to the large traditional displays, there are more than a dozen all-view monitors for gamers to experience, and the GS1 simulator has also moved more than a dozen and placed them in a separate area.
The hosts on the scene are all GS1 X, and the controllers are all elite controllers, bringing players the most perfect gaming experience.
Anyway, it's all for trial play, and they will only pay on the spot until the players have a good time.
The second is the on-site publicity.
This time, the official staff also prepared a lot of electronic posters and display boards, not only in the exhibition area of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment, but also in the entire Xingyu carnival site, there are many large electronic poster slots for Shimmer Games. Zhong Ming prepared two promotional posters this time, one is the DLC promotional poster of "Ink and Smoke 2", and the other is the promotional poster of "Wolf".
On the hosts on the scene, all of them have the DLC of "Ink and Smoke 2" and the demo version of "Wolf".
The DLC of "Ink and Smoke 2" is mainly experienced on the all-view display, and the development of this part has been completed about seventy percent, several special vehicles and costumes have been completed, and only part of the final level of the puzzle content has not yet been completed, but it is enough for players to experience.
And the demo version of "Wolf" has increased compared to before, except for the part of the Hirata Mansion three years ago, and the main game content has been added, until the defeat of Ei Na Genichiro.
This part of the content is enough for players to know how to write dead words.
After everything was set up, I looked at the other booths and felt bored for a moment.
It is also true that the booths of other game companies, whether in terms of the number of games or equipment, are completely different from the booths of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment.
Soon, the players entered.
This time, the number of players is the same as before, but because the venue is limited, the tickets are also limited. The people who came in in advance were basically related households, either insiders of some game companies, or some game media.
Shimmer Mutual Entertainment also got a batch of tickets here, and the internal lottery allocated it.
Players entered the exhibition venue and first gathered at the floor plan of the venue to see the booth layout.
"Do you see that big poster above, "A Wolf"?"
"What's new in Shimmer Studio?"
"And the DLC for "Ink and Smoke 2"!"
"There's a Shimmer Studio's booth this year, hurry up and check it out!"
"What's the hurry?"
"Nonsense, there must be no place to go late, let's go!"
The first batch of players who came in all went directly to the booth of Shimmer Studio, they all knew that this matter could not wait, and if it was too late for a little hesitation, they would definitely have to queue up.
LAST YEAR'S GAME OMNI VERSION OF "PATH OF THE GUN GOD" WAS VERY POPULAR, AND MANY PEOPLE HAD TO WAIT IN LINE FOR AN HOUR TO PLAY.
On the side of the main stage, the host is already warming up, and there will be some anchor meet-and-greets soon. But the players didn't pay any attention to it, and after entering, they directly crossed the main stage and ran towards the Shimmer Studios booth.
"Where's Naruto Zhong?"
"Hurry up and ask for an autograph!"
"Doesn't seem to be there?"
"It is estimated that it is at the scene, hurry up and arrest it!"
Many players were still expecting to see the bell at the booth, but the hope was disappointed, and the bell was not here.
Zhong Ming knew very well that he would probably be surrounded by a group of players to sign autographs if he stayed here, which was troublesome. What's more, the trial of "Wolf" was arranged on the spot, and it was a little dangerous to stay here.
Hu Bin was at the scene, responsible for answering the players' questions, and someone from the Shimmer Studio also came to assist the staff in maintaining order on the scene and guiding players to try the game.
The first group of players went to play everything, and some players who were interested in the GS1 simulator went directly to the simulator and played two "Xuanjia Project" first; Loyal players of "Ink and Smoke 2" occupied the holographic projection equipment for the first time, and wanted to see what the DLC of "Ink and Smoke 2" was like; There is also a group of players who sit directly in the trial area of "Wolf".
"Wolf" is still a regular device, with a GS1 X console, an elite controller, and a regular HD display, with the title screen all on the monitor.
There is also a big promotional TV next to it, on which the promotional CG of "Wolf" is played on a loop.
This is the first time that the CG of "Wolf" has been shown in front of players, many people have stopped to watch, and some media have taken the camera directly.
The staff at the scene did not stop it, and the things on the booth were originally for players to experience, and this CG would be directly posted on the Internet sooner or later.
"Neon Ninja theme? It's a rare theme. ”
"Oh, that's a great atmosphere."
"The battlefield where the maple leaves are scattered, the scene of the fight, the lonely ninja ......"
"Is this a live action from the game? So handsome! ”
Those players who came late and didn't have a place could only wait in line while watching the "Wolf" promotional video playing on a loop on the big screen.
The promotional video is divided into two parts, the first part is the opening CG of "A Wolf", that is, the part that explains the background of the story, telling the story of the war of thieves and the adoption of wolves. At the end of the CG, Yongzhen, holding a red umbrella, comes to the top of the well and throws a letter to the bottom of the well.
The second part of the promotional video is the real-life battle of "Wolf".
The second part is also very rich in content, including the screen of fighting with various different mobs, the screen of continuous assassination, the gorgeous skill effect, and the screen of large-scale boss battle. Of course, the real-life pictures of these games are only the materials that are currently available, and most of them are concentrated in the early stages of the game, such as the battles with early bosses such as Misanin Yuanjin, Red Oni, Oni Punishment Department, and Ashina Genichiro.
The footage has been edited to dazzle players while showing gorgeous combat footage.
In the all-view display experience area, many players are already playing the DLC of "Ink and Smoke 2", some are walking the plot, some are trying out new vehicles, and they are having a lot of fun; On the GS1 emulator side, there are also a lot of people in line.
The experience team on the side of "Wolf" is the longest, and it is clear that everyone's enthusiasm for the new game is far higher than the two old games.
There are more and more players at the scene, and the staff holds loudspeakers to maintain order.
"Welcome to the game experience area of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment, please line up for the game and maintain civilized courtesy!"
"Players who want to try the DLC of "Ink and Smoke 2", please go to the holographic projection experience area; Players who want to play "Xuanjia Project" can go to the simulator and queue up. ”
"Players who try to play "Wolf" line up on my side, each person can have 30 lives, count the number on the screen, please consciously replace the next player when the number of times is up!"
After listening to the last words of the staff, many people in line couldn't help but laugh.
30 lives??
I'm afraid not everyone can clear it!
30 lives, this is already the number of lives that can only be obtained after opening the cheats in many games, many people will basically not die when they play "Ink and Smoke 2", 30 lives is too much!
Many later people began to envy the first batch of players, 30 lives, which is estimated to be able to play directly to dinner!
But the first players who had already started the game didn't have this idea at all, and instead faced the enemy one by one.
Behind them, the players in line were also poking their heads to look at their game screens, and after looking at them for a while, they also noticed a problem.
Why, it seems, 30 lives is not enough?
……
Cheng Yang was in second place, looking at the players in front of him, wanting to see how others played first and learn from his own experience.
Cheng Yang is an internal staff member of Xingyou.com, specializing in writing game reviews, and originally wanted to come to the booth of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment for the first time to try it out, but he still didn't grab the first batch of players.
But that's okay, it's his turn after the first player is over.
The guy in front of him is obviously not a hardcore player, and the posture of using the handle is relatively clumsy, and the content of jumping and grabbing the wall at the beginning has not been completed at one time.
However, the previous content was not difficult, and it was successfully passed.
The wolf wakes up from the bottom of the well, picks up the letters on the ground, and sneaks all the way to the place where Miko is imprisoned, triggering the cutscene.
Everything is fine here, but further on, the problem comes.
Finally getting his hands on the katana, the player was obviously excited, and his self-confidence was bursting with confidence to fight the mobs outside.
Then he died twice at the hands of the mob.
A few mobs in front are good to say.,There are two or three mobs in the back.,This player can't parry at all.,Only know how to cut hard.,Soon the mobs were beaten to death.。
After he died, this guy scratched his head, very incomprehensible, I guess I was thinking, why am I so brittle??
After dying a few times, this guy finally learned to assassinate, but then he met an elite monster who stood in his way, the leader Yamauchi Shigenori, and then died honorably as a dog.
The process of death is also very simple.,This guy attacks once.,Yamauchi will parry it.,And then slash it.,And so on three or four times.,The protagonist is cold.。
As for the amount of blood, Yamauchi slashes the protagonist with a knife about one-fifth of his blood, and the protagonist slashes the boss, and the reduction of the health bar may be less than one-tenth.
After dying a few times, this guy was so angry that he stood up directly: "What a broken game, don't play anymore!" ”
Cheng Yang took the handle from his hand and wondered in his heart: "As for it...... You're too vegetable......"
