Chapter 255: Bad Money Drives Out Good Money
"Is he gone?"
In the office, Chen Lin received the news that the old man had come, and he was not too surprised.
"Well, they said they didn't want to disturb our work, and they would come back when they were free, and let me tell you that the town in my hometown was on the bus." Lao Li said with a strange face.
I ran so far to inform this.
He really couldn't understand the old man's way of thinking.
But it's also easy to say.
At least the old man can come to the studio often to brag to them in the future.
"Is it already through? Then leave him alone, I guess I'm going to find an old friend to drink again. β
Chen Lin smiled and put a pennant on the table back into the drawer.
Faintly, you can also see the words "Thank you Mr. Chen Lin for contributing to the public transport industry", and there is a group photo with the new bus route on the side.
I briefly talked about the work again.
Lao Li left the office and hurried back to the team.
In the distance, you can still hear the exclamations of the employees.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Is something wrong? β
Lao Li sighed in his heart, he shouldn't have missed any key plots, right?
"Old Li, come and see! Your wife and daughter have been kidnapped by people from other teams! β
Seeing him come back, Ah Guang and the others who were surrounding him immediately hurriedly spoke.
Lao Li took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly came to the computer.
In the picture, their family encountered several other criminals at the power plant, not only the materials were robbed, but even his wife was hijacked, forcing him to obey.
γLet's go!γ Gotta Live!! γ
The wife shouted resolutely and slammed into one of the criminals.
Obviously, she also knew that she would only become a burden to her husband if she stayed, and went directly to the road of death.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Shake the eardrums of the people.
It also shocked the hearts of all the audience.
Bright red blood burst through his wife's abdomen and she fell straight to the ground.
Before he died, he glanced at the position of her husband and daughter, full of attachment and reluctance.
Lao Li gritted his teeth, and his lips were about to ooze blood.
But in the end, he was not blinded by hatred and fled by car with his daughter in his arms.
The roar of cars, accompanied by the cry of her daughter, grew farther and farther away outside the abandoned power plant.
The wife, who was lying on the ground, also closed her eyes completely.
And this.
It's just a microcosm of the entire island.
As the screen switches, battlefields appear everywhere.
Countless figures, armed with looted guns, fought all over the island, all trying to be the last one to survive.
In the face of life and death, trust between people is like a thin piece of paper.
A second ago, they called each other brothers and killed the enemy together.
In the next second, for a weapon, he turned against him.
There are even those who did not hesitate to expose the location of their companions in order to survive, and finally died tragically in the war between the two sides.
Not to mention Lao Li with his daughter.
I can only hide everywhere, while looking for firearms and materials, and struggle to survive.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to run into a survival team that was also a prisoner on the way, and temporarily cooperated with them to destroy the enemy.
Ultimately.
Encounter the old man's team in an abandoned factory, and encounter Xiaoli's ambush.
A fierce shootout ensued.
The audience in front of the camera was hooked.
"It's so handsome!"
"This shootout is cool to watch!"
"There's really nothing to say about the special effects of the flood wilderness."
"The main thing is that the whole process is tense and nervous, and I don't know when an enemy will come out or target you with a big sniper."
"I'm a little nervous."
"That's what the battlefield feels like!"
"If the game can go this far, I'll play it!"
At this moment, there are more than ten times more barrage than at the beginning.
Originally, they were just regarded as general game promotion CG, but who would have thought that the production level was no less than those blockbusters.
Especially in terms of special effects and atmosphere rendering, Honghuang can be said to have achieved the extreme, which makes people nervous unconsciously.
As if I was one of the hundred.
Any means will be used to survive.
And what surprised them even more was that the plot was full of ups and downs.
I can't guess who will die in the next second, and how it will die.
Following the perspective of the protagonist's father and daughter, they experience a bridgehead ambush, an observation station confrontation, a scramble for supplies at a military base, bomber coverage, and even the spread of poison gas caused by a change in wind direction.
Even on the way to escape, they also encountered roadblocks, which can be described as dangerous and exciting.
[Look! The poisonous gas on the surface of the sea was blown open a gap! γ
After several escapes, they came to the shore in the southwest.
The protagonist's team is shocked to find that the poisonous gas is slowly dissipating on the sea level in the distance.
In less than half an hour, a road leading to the outside would appear, and it would be their only chance to escape from Devil's Island.
However.
As they go to a nearby port to look for a ship, they encounter a gang of criminals entrenched here.
A fierce confrontation.
At the tragic cost of sacrificing all his teammates, he finally took his daughter to the dinghy and started the engine.
And the teammates who stayed behind because of serious injuries also died with the criminal gang in a fiery explosion.
It was precisely because of this explosion that the soldiers were prevented from pursuing and killing, and enough time was bought for the father and daughter to successfully break out of the island.
Seeing that the island was getting farther and farther away, the poisonous gas slowly dispersed.
The audience's tense expressions finally relaxed, but they felt that it was really not easy along the way.
[Dad, what's wrong with you? γ
But at this moment, a childish exclamation sounded.
The protagonist, who struggled to control the direction of the ship with one hand, released the palm that was covering his abdomen, which was already covered with a large patch of blood.
But instead of being sad, he grinned, showed his blood-soaked teeth, and reached out to touch his daughter's head.
[You're alive and well.] γ
Bang!
The words fell, and the whole person fell heavily on the boat.
[Daddy! γ
A terrible cry, accompanied by the sound of the boat's turbines, sped away on the boundless sea.
The poisonous gas that was originally dispersed also closed again, leaving only a terrifying and deep green, and the entire live broadcast room fell silent in an instant.
[Twenty years later......]
Classic transitions appear.
The screen cuts to a barren battlefield.
A group of prisoners of war are being taken to the old square.
Among the prisoners of war, a heroic figure lowered his head, looking at the old photo of his father in his pocket watch, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Eventually, the screen pans upwards and falls onto the island surrounded by green poison gas in the distant sea, and several large characters slowly appear in the center of the screen.
PUBG: Battle Royale
So far.
New game CG,Play over!
"Huh? That's it? β
"I can't accept that I'm dead!"
"Big-hammer-brother-"
"It's so miserable, I escaped for so long and still didn't escape."
"So the last one, is the daughter who grows up come to take revenge?"
"PUBG Battle Royale, is that the name of the game?"
"Believe it! This is actually a CG in which the player participated! β
"I didn't think there was anything at first, but after watching the CG, I suddenly wanted to play this kind of battle royale game."
"I advise you not to be ignorant, and quickly bring the game up!"
After watching the entire promotional CG, players' expectations for the new game of Honghuang were instantly full.
Especially the wonderful fight, as well as the intrigue between the squads, it is completely impossible to see that it is a group of players involved.
It simply refreshed their perception of gunplay games.
No doubt.
The emergence of this gameplay has completely subverted the inherent concept of players for competitive shooting games!
With an unstoppable attitude, it has caused a huge impact on the entire FPS competitive market, and even rewrote the trend of this game category.
The live broadcast rooms of major platforms have exploded!
The Internet is even more boiling!
Less than half an hour after the release of the promotional CG of the Flood Wilderness, the new gameplay of "Battle Royale" has swept the game circle.
Players are amazed.
Manufacturers were shocked.
They always thought that Hong Huang would make a CF-like faction battle game, and even if it wasn't, it shouldn't be too different.
But I didn't expect it at all.
Hong Huang directly flipped the table, didn't even want his own biochemical theme, and developed a game that was different.
Hundreds of people compete on the same stage and survive in the Player's Battlegrounds.
Anyone who knows anything about FPS games can imagine the subtleties of it, and it almost raises the competitive attributes to an unprecedented level.
This way to play.
Lots of potential!
Even the penguins, who felt superior to others, sensed the threat and convened an emergency meeting again.
β¦β¦
"Although I don't want to admit it, this new game of Honghuang has already posed a threat to us."
At this moment, the director of operations, who was sitting in the first place, finally lost his initial contempt and became serious.
"So what to do? Will the big update still go live as originally planned? Someone at the bottom asked.
"Naturally, it will be launched, but we have to change the plan, if we follow our current gameplay, it is estimated that it will be difficult to stabilize players, and we must launch a similar competitor as soon as possible."
Launching competing products to seize the market, and driving out good money from bad money is the most common means of their penguins.
The huge player base supports them, so that they can have no fear and are not afraid of any similar game at all.
No matter how much they hate the targeted manufacturers, they can only watch their game market be gradually eroded, and eventually go out of business because they can't continue to operate.
Now.
They wanted to do the same thing against the famine.
Prepare Li Dai Taozhuang, take over the heat that should belong to the flood famine, and swallow the cake of "Battle Royale" alone!
Thinking of the excitement, someone immediately proposed: "It just so happens that we have a project that has been shelved before, called Ace Battlefield, the structure is similar to this kind of game, and it can be quickly launched by changing the basic gameplay." β
"And this? How come I've never heard of it? The director wondered.
"That's the project we brought from Huanhai." Zeng Fuming in the corner spoke.
"I see, then this game will be handed over to the Huanhai project team to do, and I will send some more people over when the time comes, and try to launch it before the release of the new game in Honghuang."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Zeng Fuming was shocked and hurriedly responded.
At the same time, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Since Huanhai was merged, the original team of them has basically been left out in the cold, and they can only do some inconspicuous small projects every day.
Now that the opportunity has finally come, he naturally has to do a good job and let everyone know what they are capable of.
It can also suppress the flood by the way.
It's a double win!
"Okay, let's dismiss the meeting, remember to make an announcement to promote the new game first."
The director got up and left the conference room as he spoke.
Others are doing their own thing, preparing for what's next.
It didn't take long.
Under the Penguin account, a new message has been updated.
γPenguin Games (Official): The new FPS battle royale competitive game "Ace Battlegrounds" is now open for pre-registration, and players are welcome to participate in the pre-registration and win exclusive costumes and massive gifts! γ
I have to say.
The timing of Penguin's announcement was very appropriate.
Players who are hotly discussing how to play Battle Royale are in a state of flux.
"What's going on? Penguin's side also made a battle royale game? β
"That's too fast, isn't it? As soon as Hong Huang finished playing CG in the morning, they announced it in the afternoon. β
"There it is! Penguin's specialty, borrowing (plagiarism)! β
"It's 6 hot."
"It looks like this genre is really going to catch fire."
This time, the penguins were smart and didn't buy a water army to wash the floor, saying that they came up with this game first.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hong Huang is very well prepared, and he also filmed a large-scale CG, but they only took out a few promotional pictures of the game.
They weren't stupid enough to do such a reputation-ruining stupidity.
Although the penguin's reputation is running out.
So they came up with a compromise and began to hype up that this was a newly designed battle royale gameplay, and various high-end terms of the next-generation unique innovation engine greeted them upwards to distinguish them from the wilderness.
Coupled with Penguin's huge publicity channels, it has really attracted the attention of a large number of players and began to look forward to their game.
