Chapter 407: The sales record has been updated again
At that moment, a cough came, and it was only then that the G animation entered the opening credits, accompanied by the wordless opening song "Stranger in Tn" (Stranger in the City) composed by the Lockpost Sister, and the Collector's Edition has an accompanying soundtrack...... The slow tempo of the clarinet and violin, and then the in-game staff subtitles are revealed.? With the names in the Salmon Studio, there are also the main characters who helped the development of the game on the Funan side, and naturally there is also Pasa, the largest font, which is displayed separately.
Julio, maybe there are many players who are stunned on the spot, just at the most urgent moment, this story came to an abrupt end, pulling them back to reality, just like watching a movie, the author was cut off by the author when the big ** was the most exciting, and the feeling of meeting again tomorrow.
How can you even make a game out of context?
This opening animation does not use G animation, and Shark Studio, which focuses on G animation in North America, is responsible for all the G rendering cutscenes in the game, especially the magnificent war scenes like some zombie tides besieging human barriers, Ye Shenxi's request is to ...... At that time, he asked employees in North America to search for "hinas annual Spring Festival travel rush" on the Internet and let them feel for themselves what he wanted.
Thousands of zombies on the same screen, if handed over to the hardware to render in real time, it is impossible to do it at this stage, and it can only be expressed in the form of G.
But Shark Studio was not responsible for this title, but handed it over to Yang Shu and her 2D art team, using original paintings one by one, plus dubbing monologues, to convey the passage of time to players, Ye Shenxi thinks that such a clip has a more vicissitudes of life.
Beginning with the establishment of a large quarantine zone by humans, the quarantine area gradually expanded, even to the whole of Nevada;
The news of the failure of medical experts and infectious disease giants to develop an antidote, and the news that the government has blocked it is still circulating, and the world is in a panic;
God brought disaster to the world, and in addition to robbing the people in panic of limited survival resources, a large number of internal human conflicts broke out;
There are also various religious sects in the human distribution centers, crazy preaching, spreading their teachings, and demanding repentance from everyone, which is a sin planted by all mankind, and even more extreme people think that it is not a disease, those who are strong, agile, but have a simple heart without a root of all evil, zombies are the ultimate form of human beings. There is even a zombie cult, eager to be eaten by them.
When the war broke out, the army began to retreat, the number of humans plummeted, and the area of the habitat gradually shrank, retreating to cold places, including high mountains, Antarctica and North Pole, because they found that the zombies were not able to adapt to the cold temperature for the time being, but there are signs that their ability to adapt far beyond human expectations may only be a matter of a few years.
The originally prosperous metropolis has long been abandoned, and there are traces of battles here, indicating that humans once resisted the invasion of foreign races here, and there are rusty tanks on the streets, and the walls have been washed by countless rains, becoming very faint, but the blood stains can still be seen.
Slowly, grass and beautiful flowers bloomed from between the tall buildings.
In the end, it is also fixed on such a painting, and the letters "Pasa's work" appear and disappear, indicating the end of the opening credit.
Like many films, directors have long been given absolute power abroad, and their films will be called like Spielberg's works, James Cameron's works, or Peter Jackson's works.
Even Chinese directors have learned this from the fifth generation onwards.
But the game industry seems to be rarely like this, even if it is the result of the work of a group of people led by one person, perhaps the current video game as a whole is still some distance from the so-called art, the behind-the-scenes bosses, the management will always feel that they can also insert a foot, a game may not be exactly what a certain producer wants to convey.
And when fans watch movies, they may also pick directors, but when playing games, they still pay more attention to the development team, game brands, and even distribution companies.
But the work of the herring is different.,It's been a long time since there may never have been a producer like Pasa who combines strength and popularity.,The herring hasn't released a sequel to any series.,Each one is a new IP.,Players are looking for the brand Pasa.,The appeal of this name can also bring a strong sales enhancement buff to the game.,That's it.。
After the end of the film, Julio saw a different Tois than just now, his hair was a little gray, his face was wrinkled, his clothes were disheveled, and his face was full of stubble, this is already a bad middle-aged and elderly man, this is the protagonist image exposed before. Still waking up from a deep sleep, he seemed to have a nightmare, and then woke up in a panic, his eyes still flickering with a faint glint of water.
Toyce awoke from his slumber twice, but the two worlds were completely different, a stark contrast, the cozy cottage and daughter in the fire, and the soundtrack of the time...... And now in this filthy warehouse, the wind whining through the holes in the hut, the lights flickering because of the unstable voltage, Toyes got up from a battered sleeping bag, and a rifle in his arms.
This is the effect that Ye Shenxi wants, extremely sharp contrasts, shots, object details, and color and sound effects, etc., all of which combine to violently hit the hearts of all players.
After experiencing the opening scene, Julio understands the cause and effect, and realizes that this is the real game world, and that the opening scene is nothing more than Toyce's dreams and memories.
He even thought that Toyce must have dreamed like this often, and this time it was definitely not accidental, although Pasa had not yet given a clear answer, but he already had a hunch about the end of the opening story, but he was not sure yet, he wanted to get out of the warehouse quickly to see if Elizabeth was still there.
"Dante......" Tois shouted.
The black shell ran over.
Thank God Dante is still ...... Perhaps this was the only thing he could feel comforted about.
Toyes picked up his gun and walked out of the warehouse.
Julio finally saw what the "post-war" world was like.
This is a small human settlement point on the high mountain, but along the mountain wall, some wooden houses and stone houses have been built, there are still wind and frost on the bare rocks, and several roads have been drawn between the mountains, and it has just melted after rain and snow, and there is a sound of muddy water when you step on it. Toyce's identity is the casino caretaker here, and he is also a derivative of gambling such as bringing people out of the casino or violently collecting debts.
Humans are a race that is very good at re-establishing order, because many people are too lazy to think and have a natural tendency to obey the strong. Even though modern civilization and order were broken twelve years ago, they were able to re-establish power bodies from the ruins and quickly reconstruct order.
Because they need to have rules to follow, even if they are numb, otherwise they will not be able to live in peace.
Of course, in the post-war era, all the rules were for those in power.
And Ye Shenxi started from here to show players what anarchism and the post-apocalyptic era should look like in his mind. It's not that there are no rules, there are also some natural deep-rooted things, such as the willingness to gamble and lose in this casino, the oppression between classes, the enjoyment of better material things by the power, the obedience of people to the leader, very primitive rules, everything that happens here is impacting the players who have grown up under modern civilization.
Of course, in times like these, in the midst of the panic of dying at any moment, people seem to find no way to relieve their stress except to enjoy themselves as much as possible in time. So casinos, brothels, taverns and other entertainment venues, in this humble human distribution point, are all there, very well-developed, and are the main area. They enjoy what little they have left, and sometimes they don't think so much about where tomorrow will be or whether they will be able to see the sun, because thinking will not lead to results, so they live hopelessly.
Ironically, the name of this small regime is Mandala...... The flower language of the green mandala is the endless sound of hope.
Tois came out of the casino and saw two armed men dressed about him escorting the woman towards the cliff, the woman crying and pleading hoarsely, and the people on either side watched indifferently...... It was a licensed dealer at his casino, but he usually went down the mountain to the so-called front line to collect some supplies from the ruins of the city at the foot of the mountain, and it was clear that the people here were not self-sufficient on this mountain alone.
Not long ago, he had a chat with each other, and the two were acquaintances, and occasionally took advantage of some words.
She was infected, and out of nowhere she was scratched by a mutant.
The woman cried that she had only been scratched by a wild beast in the mountains, but it was clear that it was the mark of five fingers.
The zombies' activity area is getting closer and closer here.
When the woman saw Toys, her eyes lit up with some hope for survival, and she wanted Tois to help her intercede, Tois still has a certain weight in this organization, he is like a machine, obedient, but this guy has already been hard-hearted in these years. He wasn't going to watch someone he knew die, so he turned away, and then heard a gunshot, and the woman was thrown into a cliff after being shot in the head, and the camera showed the bottom of the cliff, where the bodies piled up into a hill.
This kind of thing happens every three or five days, and people you know may have just said hello in the morning and will not be there in the afternoon.
That's his life now...
Julio, along with the countless players who bought Nobody Survives, have become completely immersed in the world, and they are beginning to understand a little bit why the name of the game is called Nobody Survives.
After "Getaway", Ye Shenxi's skills on how to tell a story are obviously more proficient, and he has also watched a lot of movies, books, and his own feelings. How to quickly integrate players into the game through emotional mobilization, how to shape characters so that they can substitute themselves as soon as possible, and then begin to care about the fate of these characters.
Regarding these, Ye Shenxi seems to have a master's demeanor.
He did it.
Since the day of the month, countless players have entered the world of Nobody Survivor and settled there.
Many players may just not feel like they are caught up in it, and they don't think why, but for professional media and critics, it is as if they have discovered a whole new continent in the process of playing.
Just like last summer's Getaway, Pasa took the architecture of the open world to a whole new level, leaving all of his contemporaries ashamed of themselves while not feeling compelled to learn and imitate.
What they need to learn is how to spark the player's interest and curiosity and lead them step by step to explore the game world full of whimsy, intricate levels and system design.
And the emergence of "No One Survives", for them, the art of narrative techniques in world games has once again been elevated.
It's not just the players who were blown away by the day.
However, Ye Shenxi only set a tone at the beginning, he will not let the player be in such a depressed mood all the time, the game always has ups and downs. Slowly, in the process of carrying out the tasks assigned by the leader, Tois met some people who made Julio feel that there was still hope in the world, not all of them were like the walking dead, and there were still people who had hope in life and lived actively.
He cleverly inserts some flashes of humanity in the process of the protagonist's mission, such as the mother who steals food to feed her children, and the strong man who can stand up for righteousness in the face of class bullying, which begins to make the temperature of the whole game begin to rise, and the game is a process of rapid decline from warm to cold, and then gradually warm......
After about 3 hours of game content, most of the game background during this time, the current situation of the world, are almost introduced, and of course, there are also guided levels, mainly to help players get familiar with the combat methods in the game, tough or roundabout, and there are many interactive methods of props. Later, while looting supplies from another hostile group, Tois and his companions come across a twelve-year-old girl named Emma.
From this time on, this gray world seems to slowly become more colorful.
……
……
At two o'clock in the morning on the 2nd East Coast of the United States, the editors were still working overtime at the headquarters of the Gaesales website in Boston. If it's usual, they let the website system automatically identify and update a lot of statistics, or come to work the next morning to manually review and verify.
But not today, and they know that tens of millions of gamers or some media workers, game professionals, are desperately trying to refresh their homepages after twelve o'clock.
Today, they get 35 times as many visits to their website as usual...... Fortunately, the server is very strong and did not crash, and they want to praise the cloud server of Flaxon......
They are working overtime to get the verified data out there as soon as possible.
The office is quiet, with only the click of keyboard and mouse, and they are counting sales data for online and offline stores around the world, as well as digital distribution channels such as PSN or B digital stores, FG and stee. This statistic cannot be absolutely accurate, and it can only count some of the channels and regions with the largest sales volume that can be counted, but these channels and regions can basically account for more than 98% of the total sales.
A brown-haired white woman wearing a badge, glasses, and uniform suddenly raised her hand and shouted, "Uncharted 3!" 24-hour global sales of 780,000. ”
"Uncharted 3" is a PS3 exclusive game, and Soni previously confirmed that the first day of shipments was 3.8 million, and 780,000 units were sold on the first day. You must know that the last masterpiece "Uncharted 2" in 2009 only reached the number of 800,000 in the first week.
Another male employee also shouted: "The Legend of Zelda: Sword of the Sky, 24 hours, 50,000, 70,000 in mainland Japan, 480,000 in other regions!" ”
It is unfair for the two games "Uncharted 3" and "Sky Sword" to simply compete with "The Elder Scrolls 5" and "No One Survives" in terms of sales, both of which are single-level games. But the number of "Sky Sword" may indeed not meet Ren Jile's expectations, and even as early as a week ago, the American version had a sneaking phenomenon, which also had a certain impact on sales, and the United States has always been a market with great influence on Ren Jile.
Another shouted: "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, 5.2 million!" 2.23 million on PS3, 20,000 on B30, and 30,000 on P-side! ”
Without a doubt, this is the best result in the history of the entire Elder Scrolls series.
Then finally came the data of "Nobody Survived".
"No One Survives" ......" an artistic-temperamental man with pigtails raised his hand, halfway through his words, and stopped again.
Several other employees, as well as the supervisor, all turned their heads and looked at the artistic man, the expression on his face was a little crowded, and his facial features were a little uncomfortable crowded together......
"How much is 'Nobody Survived'?" The director was also in a hurry, and his tone was a little heavy.
"Nobody Survived...... 0.5 million ...... 24 hours ......"
