"I'm sure everyone has heard it just now. The first piece that Hisaishi asked the teacher to play was "Scarlet Moonlight" from "The Witcher". ”

Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"So, The Witcher 2: The Devil's Egg."

At the same time, Qing Zhiyuan silently stepped aside and let out the big screen behind him.

The lights dimmed again, as if in a movie theater.

On the big screen behind him, a big POKENI logo appeared.

Darken again.

Then slowly some blurry images began to appear.

The picture is still very dark, but you can vaguely see that this is probably a battlefield.

Dark clouds piled up in the distance, the ground was already full of corpses, crows wailed, and a few vultures hovered in the sky.

The camera pushes to the ground, and one arm lies on the ground, separated from the body.

And in this arm, some maggots came out of it, and it looked particularly disgusting.

Maggots are different from the ones you often see, they have black bodies, surrounded by slender fluff, and look more like wriggling dandelions.

It's just that the tip of the dandelion is red.

And the body of the maggot is covered with all kinds of eyes, large and small.

This section is completely shown in the form of animation, which took a lot of time from the Pokeni team, so the effect is quite explosive.

Seeing this, some of the audience at the scene were actually unwell.

"It's not good, I want yue."

"It's scary...... What kind of game is it? ”

"Didn't the witchers talk about vampires? How did you become like this? ”

"Who knows...... Yes...... I didn't dare to look at it, I was creepy......"

The crowd was gossiping.

But they also seem to feel that this game is indeed a little different, even if it is a 2D animation, but there is a sense of solemnity and sadness.

"Is it a change of producer? Why did the taste change all of a sudden? ”

"It seems to be, I remember that it was originally "The Witcher" led by Shinji Mikami, but who is it now?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a newcomer."

……

The overall game style is still relatively Japanese.,It's a Japanese-style Western fantasy style.,So what the characters wear has Western elements.,But the overall face shape.,The appearance is Japanese.。

But it's games like this that sell well in both Neon and Omega.

The more typical one is Square Enix's Final Fantasy series.

on the big screen.

A foot stepped on the ground, making a dull sound.

There was a crackling sound on the severed hand.

A bunch of dandelions burst immediately.

Then, the other foot also stepped down, forming a rhythm with the previous one. It is a man's pace, slow but firm. His figure loomed in the darkness, like a ghost.

He kept going, not knowing where his destination was.

At the same time, the wound on his chest was clearly visible.

In the position of the chest, a large black hole has been broken.

What is more strange is that there is not a trace of blood flowing in this person's wounds, and he is more like a walking corpse than a living person.

The vultures circled in the sky, following him all the way.

It seems to be waiting, as soon as the person falls, he will pounce on him and smash him.

At this moment, the [warrior] seemed to be physically exhausted, and the whole person fell on his back.

The vultures in the sky above received the signal, their eyes lit up, and they immediately swooped down.

And just as everyone was sweating for him, he suddenly stretched out his right hand.

Grabbed the vulture that flew in front of him.

Click.

The screen suddenly went black.

The monologue rang out:

"It's a world of killing and war"

"A world of the jungle."

"A world like hell with no end, only despair"

……

The screen switches, and the next thing is presented in a more obscure comic technique:

In the darkness, one hand, full of green tendons, held a strange ball of flesh in his hand.

In the middle of the ball of meat is a strange pattern that looks like a human eye.

"The Demon Egg is a seed laid by a demon according to legend, and when it is parasitized, it can inherit the power of the demon."

In the picture, the silhouette of a man kneeling on the ground with his hands around his neck, while at the same time, in front of him stands a terrifying creature that looks like a demon.

He was holding a ball of meat in his hand.

Some slender tentacles extend out of the outside of the ball.

In the next scene, the person who swallowed the demon's egg becomes a terrifying demon warrior.

"Kingdoms exist because of demons, and they fall because of demons."

The king was stabbed to death on the throne, but the crown was held high by the devil.

The whole picture is distorted, and the main thing is a wild and uninhibited yet infinitely terrifying feeling.

"Is it the witchers who are saving the world, or the demons themselves?"

In the final scene, a demon-like man with a terrifying appearance stands on the castle tower, holding a laurel wreath in both hands and placing it on his head.

The camera pans, then through his body, to the front.

The terrifying face hid in the darkness and melted into flames.

The flames burned, and the words burned from the big screen:

"The Witcher 2: Devil's Egg"

……

The entire game's animation, along with its sounds, comes to an abrupt end.

Everyone felt as if someone had smashed their hearts with a hammer, and they trembled violently.

"Wow, it's scary, is this my impression of The Witcher?"

"The previous demon hunters were aimed at the blood clan, but this time the demon hunters are really fighting demons, right?"

"The animation level has improved a lot, but I don't know what the actual effect is."

……

Now let's go to the actual machine demonstration link, Qing Zhiyuan invited the producer of this game, Hidetaka Miyazaki.

"This is Hidetaka Miyazaki, the producer of Our Witcher 2: Devil's Egg, and he will give you a hands-on demonstration next."

"Hello everyone, I'm Hidetaka Miyazaki."

Everyone below was surprised for a while, they didn't expect that the producer of such an important game was a young fat man.

And this guy always feels very special.

Hidetaka Miyazaki smiled very shy and shy throughout the whole process, and even his head was half-lowered when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at the audience below, let alone look directly at everyone.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's words, it is-

A character who can combine [shyness] and [yin owl] is really not simple.

The reporters were looking forward to The Witcher 2, but when they saw Hidetaka Miyazaki, they still pressed the shutter and recorded the young producer's first appearance on stage.

Seriously, Hidetaka Miyazaki was particularly nervous today.

It's already very nervous, especially when facing so many people, it's even more difficult to deal with yourself.

If it weren't for Qing Zhiyuan forcibly pulling him over to promote "The Witcher 2", Hidetaka Miyazaki would not be standing here at all.

……

Entering the actual demo part, Hidetaka Miyazaki holds Sony's PS controller and starts the game.

The audience below couldn't help but be amazed.

The Witcher 2 is still from the Witcher series, which is certainly true.

Because from the overall character design to the entire picture composition, it is in the same vein, which looks exquisite and dark.

PS The texture on it has been greatly improved all of a sudden.

At the same time, the general atmosphere of the game seems to have become a bit more depressing.

"Ah, the picture has improved a lot. But it was still the style of the witcher I was familiar with, with flowing cloaks, white hair, and guns and broadswords......

It's just one more Mia. ”

After all, it's the same production team, but the producer has changed, and the original art paintings are still the same batch, so the overall style must be the same.

The plot of the game has completely opened a new chapter.

As a series, there's always going to be some legacy.

"Ah, it's really touching, when I first played Demon Hunter, it's been more than 2 years and almost 3 years now, right?"

"But it should be worth it, after moving from the MD platform to PS, you look at this picture, this picture quality, I feel that my eyes are not myopic all of a sudden."

"I miss it.,The Witcher 2 should inherit the Witcher 1.,I don't know what has changed.,I remember when I played 1.,Combo.,Cool moves.,These really amazed me.。

I still can't forget it. ”

Everyone is talking about it word by word, basically reminiscing about the refreshing and cool combat feeling that The Witcher 1 brings to everyone.

However, when Hidetaka Miyazaki actually played, it was not the same at all.

Miyazaki operates the male protagonist and faces the first approaching small boss head-on.

Before he could get closer, a cold arrow suddenly shot from behind.

Fortunately, the whole game is from a top-down perspective, and the range that can be seen is relatively larger, and Miyazaki reacts relatively quickly, so he quickly rolls out of the way.

But this time, it triggered the attack range of the small boss in front of him.

Before he could react, the lower half of his body was like a bee, and the small leader with a human body in the upper body slashed at him with a scythe in his hand.

Brush!

Most of the blood volume immediately dropped.

This is not the worst, the monsters who sneaked up before rushed up and pounced.

Immediately following the redness of the picture, Miyazaki Hidetaka let out a cry of Ya Butterfly in his heart!

Before he could drink the medicine, he was beaten to death by the group.

The screen turns completely black and white, and a large prompt appears in the screen:

【you are died】

……

This scene frightened Qing Zhiyuan, who was watching from the side, almost flew the microphone in his hand.

it!

Here's what's going on?!

Not only did Qing Zhiyuan fail to react, but the audience below didn't react.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden [Death Demonstration].

Good guys, old thief Miyazaki, you also have today?

But......

Qing Zhiyuan's whole person is not good.

I knew it was difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Qing Zhiyuan was careless, he didn't personally check the difficulty of the game, he just glanced at the completion of the game and brought the game to the press conference.

It can be said that it is quite regretful.

……

"Did you see it just now," Qing Zhiyuan picked up the microphone and forced out a smile, "We have added some very novel death manifestations to the new "The Witcher 2".

For example, if you are killed by a poisonous bee just now, your body will change color when you die.

If it is killed, then the body will be cut in two.

It's the same for monsters, and we're doing this to further increase the sense of impact and refreshment, and make the combat system of The Witcher 2 even richer. ”

Qing Zhiyuan guided everyone.

When you look at it, it seems that this is really the case.

"Oh, it's been a long time, and it turns out that it's a special display of death animation."

"It's so interesting, it's completely unexpected. I thought I was hacked to death by the monster just now. ”

"It's a pokeni, and it's always possible to come up with something new, and not only are the games very creative at the P club, but the way to show them is also very unexpected."

"Mmmm, so the death animation is actually very clear.

I didn't expect Pokeni to actually make the death animation on the character's body."

……

Although Qing Zhiyuan is in the emergency rescue scene, this function is not nonsense, they have indeed added different ways of death for the sense of blow of Demon Hunter 2.

Almost every monster has two or three different death animations, depending on how they were killed.

As for the poison discoloration, it's just to change the color channel of the map according to the attributes, but it's actually easy to do and cost-effective.

This is also to enhance the feedback and make the game more enjoyable for players.

Qing Zhiyuan pretended to be nothing, waiting for the game to restart, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do?" Miyazaki. ”

You made a game yourself, and you were hacked to death by the small boss during the demo, are you embarrassed?

However, when I thought of the old thief Miyazaki, he actually had today.

Qing Zhiyuan was inexplicably a little happy.

Of course, if only Hidetaka Miyazaki wasn't his subordinate, then he would probably laugh very happily below.

But......

This Nima, we're demonstrating!

On such an important occasion, how can you drop the chain?

"It doesn't matter, I can turn on the cheat console." Hidetaka Miyazaki said.

Ha?

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the man in front of him who looked like Da Liu in surprise, did you expect such a thing to happen?

……

It's said that it's a console, but it's actually some hidden easter eggs that developers have buried in advance for convenient testing, just like Contra has 30 people in the center.

Hidetaka Miyazaki: They also buried similar operations in the game early on.

I saw him holding the handle, and as soon as he pressed it, he entered the game, and the hero's blood was locked, and no matter how he hit him, he wouldn't lose blood.

In this demo, Hidetaka Miyazaki completed the task perfectly and showed the core combat part of The Witcher 2 to everyone.

Especially in the boss battle, Miyazaki is specially designed according to their own characteristics and environment, which is particularly brilliant.

After the demonstration of "The Witcher 2: Devil's Egg", the audience applauded thunderously.

To this young producer.

At the same time, it is also a recognition of this demonstration.

"Looking at it this way, "The Witcher 2" seems to be quite interesting."

"Although it doesn't have such a gorgeous combo, in terms of the sense of impact, it is indeed very improved, and even I was excited to see it just now."
