Chapter 7 Why are the NPCs in the promo so familiar?

The computer screen goes dark, and the first trailer ends.

The roommate who controls the computer clicks on the promotional page on the game's official website.

At a glance, there are dozens of promotional videos on this subpage.

If the quality of each article is so high, then the game company must have made a lot of money.

"A total of twelve Terran propaganda videos were released today, and the one just now is just an introduction, which one should we watch first?" Roommate Li Defu asked.

"Don't worry, let's look at them one by one." Another roommate, Li Sihua, said.

Su Xia lived in a six-person dormitory.

In addition to him, the other five people in the whole dormitory are particularly fond of playing games.

The one who slept in his bed was named Li Defu, and the one who slept opposite was called Li Sihua.

The head of the room is named Yuwen Shuxue, and in addition to that, there are a pair of twins, one is called He Ju, and the other is called He Li.

Li Defu clicked the mouse, and another Terran propaganda video began to play.

The title of this promotional video is "The Beginning of Troubled Times", which is a record of the heroic resistance and fearless struggle of the human race in the early days of the war.

Looking at the promotional screen, Su Xia's face became more and more strange.

He looked down at the bracelet and said secretly, "How is the background of this game world exactly the same as the world I traveled through?" Is that really a game world? ”

But every character Su Xia came into contact with in the other world was extremely real, and it was impossible to see that it was a string of data.

With the current level of technology of these game companies on the planet, they can't do this kind of realism at all, even the big cousin of the wilderness can't give this feeling.

Su Xia raised her head and glanced at the name of the game company.

"Blizzard Entertainment?"

What the hell is this?

Copycat Blizzard?

"Defu, is this game company just established in the past few years?" Su Xia asked her roommate, "Why have I never heard of this company?" ”

"Yes, it was founded two years ago." Li Defu nodded, "This company used to be just a small studio, but the quality of the games it makes is quite high, and its reputation in the game circle is much better than that of some companies, and this is the first time they have tried large-scale online games." ”

Under Li Defu's narration, Su Xia gradually got to know the company.

The games made by this company always face a problem, that is, they have a good reputation, but they don't make money.

Such cases are not uncommon in China.

Some big companies have money and technology, but they can't make good games.

And the small studios that can make good games are either forced to disband for various reasons, or they keep skipping tickets and release a promotional video every once in a while to maintain the basic popularity.

Just because of lack of money, the game "Looking Up at the Stars" has jumped many times.

Many players have become numb from waiting and no longer have any hope.

But just last February, the game company suddenly released more than a dozen game promotional videos for "Looking Up at the Stars" at one time, each of which was extremely beautiful and revealed wealth everywhere.

"At that time, half of the circle was boiling, I didn't sleep all night, and after watching all the expansion and world background, the quality was really high!" Li Defu said with emotion.

"How does it compare to 2077?"

"2077 is a send!"

The head of the room, Yuwen Shuxue, snorted, and his resentment against 2077 was quite large.

At the beginning, the game houses in the dormitory had high hopes for 2077.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Looking Up at the Stars is different from 2077, and I trust Blizzard, and they can definitely make this game well."

Thanks to the long-term accumulation of word-of-mouth, Blizzard has not had any negative reviews so far.

Yuwenshu said: "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock is the time to start the service, "Looking Up at the Stars" will land on mobile phones and computer platforms at the same time, which can automatically adjust the image quality according to the configuration of the device, and Blizzard has also launched VR services. ”

“VR? Is it the kind of mobile VR glasses? ”

"No, this time it's a VR that really immerses you!"

A complete set of VR equipment is quite expensive and unaffordable for the vast majority of individual gamers.

But Blizzard has built "game hives" around the world.

During this time, they have been throwing coins like running water, spilling money like running water, renting or buying buildings in the bustling areas of various cities, and then transforming the interior of these buildings into individual VR rooms, each room is equipped with world-class single-person equipment such as "World Wide Running Platform" and "Full Body Touch Suit".

"A few years ago, this small studio was like a beggar begging for food on the street, with visible poverty." Li Defu said in an envious tone, "But now, their boss is like digging a gold mine, throwing money wildly, and he doesn't think about the problem of recovering the cost of the game at all." ”

Just in Jincheng, where Su Xia is located, Blizzard has already built tens of thousands of experience hives.

One of the renovated buildings, just across from their school gate, will open tomorrow.

Moreover, such a game room only costs 5 yuan an hour, which is so cheap that people wonder if there is something wrong with the boss of the company.

Luckily, these rooms can only play "Looking Up at the Stars", and they are not allowed to sleep in them, otherwise the Internet café owners will have to cry.

"Brother Su, don't you even know that the 'Game Hive' is so popular now?" Li Defu asked incredulously.

"I haven't heard much about it." Su Xia shook her head.

"Alas, look at you, you know about soaking in the library all day long, the whole person is soaked, hurry up and come to the game world to experience the sunshine and happiness, if you don't want to play this kind of interstellar game, I can help you install a "Girl Scroll"."

"This ...... Let's talk about it later......"

While watching the promotional video, everyone chatted about the game-related settings.

The second promotional video introduces the gathering place of the Terran resistance group, and the main picture is on the seven large organizations.

The third promo is about the living conditions of the human subjugation camp.

Under the management of robots, many human cities have returned to normal life.

For ordinary people, as long as they live, it doesn't seem to matter who the leader above is.

Moreover, robots have promoted a new concept of "governing people by people", and have introduced positions such as "acting mayors" in many cities, allowing humans to manage humans.

The fourth promo video consists of many segments.

These clips focus on small rebel groups around the world.

Some of these organizations live in the shadows, some wander through the ruins of cities, and some wander the wilderness for a long time, persevering in the struggle under extremely difficult conditions.

When she saw the last clip, Su Xia's face changed slightly.

At the beginning of the frame, a soldier in black armor rushes out of the laboratory.

"Boom—"

Explosions, fires, battles, psionic blasts......

This......

Why is it so familiar?

Isn't that what he is?

And it happened an hour ago!

The background voice of that vicissitudes of life began to be introduced again.

"North Wind, a legendary commander, has led his organization to fight in the southwest region of Abandoned Armor City for many years, and is a hero in the hearts of many people......"
