Chapter 275: The Minotaur Doesn't Eat Your Rice
The sensation of Shengqu Agency's new game launch is still continuing.
In just one week.
With the popularity of "Oracle" abroad and the overwhelming publicity, they attracted a large number of players to enter the pit, and reached an online rate of more than one million on the first day.
In addition, Shengqu already has a series of 2.5D role-playing foundations such as "Legend of Blood" and "Legend World", which makes them have a huge advantage in this market.
There is even a tendency to become a role-playing hegemon.
"They didn't expect that we would go live so soon."
Inside Shengqu headquarters.
The high-level officials looked at this good situation and looked proud.
They've been doing it for so many years in the role-playing category, how can the player base be surpassed casually?
"The development cycle of 3D terminal games is too long, no matter how fast they are, they will only be able to come out early next year, so we can take this opportunity to quickly occupy the market."
"It's true that although it cost a lot of money this time, time is an advantage, and the investment is worth it."
"Continue to increase investment in publicity and distribution, and be sure to suppress the popularity of other games!"
The changes in the game industry take time to adapt.
Although 3D terminal games have risen in recent years, there is no one that can truly be regarded as a hegemon, and many of them are still in the stage of exploration and change.
The ones released a few years ago or last year are also in a tepid state now, and there is no threat to them.
It can be said that the situation is very good!
Soon.
An overwhelming number of "oracle" advertisements emerged.
In a short period of time, it has occupied major online platforms.
Even those who don't play MMO games much know about this game, and it has been in the limelight for a while.
But!
Other major manufacturers were quick to respond.
Just after January, Penguin's martial arts game "Sword and Sword" was grandly launched.
With the already huge player base and the recent siege gameplay, it has successfully captured a group of loyal players and gradually suppressed the arrogance of Shengfun.
But it didn't take long.
Huamei Company was born!
Unexpectedly, without anyone knowing, he took out the sequel to "Demon Punishment", "Demon Punishment 2"!
And it has also been upgraded to 3D graphics.
The Xianxia track joined the battlefield, and for a while, the demons danced wildly.
"It's fighting, it's fighting!"
"Are these companies all bloody?"
"After holding back for so long, the era of the explosion of 3D terminal games has finally come."
"There are so many games that I don't know which one to play."
"There are so many new ways to play, and finally I don't have to farm monsters until I vomit."
Players are talking about which game to play.
Some have already been downloaded and tried one by one.
Anyway, there are so many games, there is always one for you.
"Look! Honghuang has also released new travel news! β
Suddenly, players who were following the consultation noticed an announcement that had just been updated.
[Flood Studio: The massively multiplayer online role-playing game "World of Warcraft" will be in public beta at 10 o'clock on February 28th, taking you to appreciate the style of the epic magical world! ] γ
Boy.
After fantasy, martial arts, and fairytales, it is the turn of magic.
And it was also released by Honghuang Studio.
They can't help but recall the mysterious game revealed by Hong Huang on the talk show a few months ago, and they are finally willing to release it after holding it for so long?
"It seems that we can't even wait for the flood."
"World of Warcraft? What a strange name. β
"Is it a world made up entirely of monsters?"
"If you're going to have a fantasy theme, you should have something like magic, right?"
"Isn't it too late to post now?"
Curious, many people clicked on the game CG under the announcement.
Immediately after that, the playback page pops up.
The dim picture slowly lit up.
[Four years have passed since the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side against the invasion of the Burning Legion. γ
Despite the success of saving the continent of Azeroth, the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance has long since vanished. γ
[Now, the earth-shattering war drums are sounding again......]
With a whispered voiceover, a parchment resembling a world map gradually emerges.
The two continents are located at the left and right ends, completely separated by a large vortex in the middle.
γProduced by Honghuang Studioγ
Swish!
The white light lights up and the map disappears.
When the picture reappeared, the magnificent symphony sounded, resounding in the ears.
Players who were still watching CG seriously were suddenly shocked to the point that their scalps were numb.
"It's ...... Symphony? β
"What grand music!"
"You invited a symphony orchestra to play?"
"Damn! It gave me goosebumps. β
"This soundtrack alone costs a lot of money, right?"
The players were amazed.
Especially after listening to the game soundtrack of those small bridges and flowing water, and then listening to this majestic symphony, I can't help but have a feeling that shocks the soul.
And what shocked them even more was yet to come.
When the symphony sounded, a bearded dwarf face came into view, standing in the midst of a snowstorm.
The animal skin fleece jacket he was wearing swayed from side to side under the wind and snow, and the special effects of just a few seconds would cost millions of dollars, to say the least.
Then.
The camera zooms out.
The dwarf held a musket as a support and turned his head to the side.
A brown bear several times larger than him appears in the camera, roars, and walks with him on the snow.
"Holy! This bear is so domineering! β
"It's so realistic!"
"Don't tell me it's a game class."
"Career? Beast Tamer? β
"It's supposed to be a beast trainer."
"Shouldn't the focus be on dwarves? If there are dwarves, there should be elves, right? β
Genie!
That's right!
The players' eyes suddenly lit up, and they stared at the screen even more closely.
When the dwarf is gone, he disappears into the wind and snow with the brown bear, and the picture becomes a dreamy forest full of fluorescent.
A slender figure in tight leather armor full of primeval wildness crouched on the ground, examining the broken sword on the ground.
And her ears are different from ordinary people, they are long and pointed, revealing her identity.
Genie!
It's really an elf!
The players were instantly agitated.
Can be a second.
The elf seemed to hear something, suddenly raised its head vigilantly, and then threw down its broken sword and ran through the forest.
The originally tall body also lit up as he ran.
turned into a purple cheetah and jumped into the water.
"Huh? What is it? β
"A new career?"
"Looks like a transformation class."
"You even have a transformation profession?"
"So this CG is equivalent to a career demo?"
"I want to play! I'm going to play with this elf girl too! β
First the Beast Tamer, and now the Elves and Transforming Beasts, it has simply changed their understanding of the game profession.
If these are really the professions that will come out of the game, then wouldn't the flood directly develop a new class system?
Under discussion.
The screen turns again.
Come to a ruined land.
An undead figure wielding a staff summoned a massive rock troll, surging with green energy and roaring at the screen.
Summoner?
The players looked puzzled and looked a little different.
Then the spirits vanished, turning into towering rocky peaks.
A minotaur stood next to the totem at the top of the mountain, sprinkling a golden powder down the cliff.
The different character image once again brought a great shock to the players.
What the hell is this even a minotaur??
"Good fellow, Minotaur huh?"
Some players couldn't help but laugh.
"What happened to the Minotaur? The minotaur doesn't eat your rice. β
"It's not rice, but it will eat your braincase."
"Yes, yes, I like it. (Funny)"
"When the game opens, I'll be the first to create a minotaur character!"
Through the CG picture, they have basically concluded that what Hong Huang is doing this time will be a game with an extremely grand background.
The richness of the race is beyond their imagination.
There are even so many fantasy creatures that have appeared in the movie, so that their expectations are gradually raised.
Ultimately.
After the images of the races flashed, the majestic symphony reached its climax, and a rush of drums sounded.
"Bang!"
A gunshot broke the calm.
Breaking the peaceful scene just now.
The dwarf who first appeared on the snowy mountain, commanded the brown bear around him, and fought fiercely with the minotaur holding the totem.
The undead raise their staffs and summon stone giants to rampage across the battlefield.
The elven warrior who walked out of the jungle also encountered the oncoming green-skinned orcs in the wilderness.
on the tower.
The robes of the human mages fluttered, gathering energy.
A terrifying ice erupted, sweeping all around.
Eventually, everything disappears, the music stops, and a giant game logo appears in the center of the screen.
World of Warcraft
At this moment, the audience was silent.
Players stared blankly at the finished game CG, their faces full of shock and excitement.
Although it is only a little more than two minutes of CG footage, it shows them a huge magical world.
Humans, Dwarves, Undead, Elves, Orcs, Minotaurs......
There are as many as six races on display alone.
And each of them has a different class, a new class that they have never seen before!
"This is the new end game that Hong Huang said?"
"Finally no longer the feminine character with thin arms and legs."
"It's small, the cow that you bragged about before the flood is small!"
"This face, this production, will directly enlarge the move as soon as it comes up."
"The graphics and soundtrack alone completely beat several other games!"
"I don't know what the actual content will be, looking forward to it!"
The appearance of the game CG of the flood wilderness has undoubtedly brought a huge impact to the MMO market where the demons are dancing wildly.
They didn't expect that after being silent for so long, they would come up with a game with such a grand background.
It muddies the waters of MMOs even more.
What surprised them even more.
Not long after the release of the game CG, the Honghuang account issued a new announcement.
[Flood Studio: The movie of the same name of "World of Warcraft" will be released on major platforms at 8 o'clock tonight, if you want to know more about the game, the Warcraft movie is waiting for you to watch! ] γ
οΌοΌοΌ
Wait?
What do you mean?
What you just sent out is just a trailer, and the real CG is still to come!
The players couldn't hold back.
But on second thought, Honghuang's style seems to be like this.
No way.
The CG just now really whetted their appetite and they were eager to know more about the game.
As soon as they saw this announcement, many people poured into major video platforms and searched for this movie.
As a result, I really found it out after a search.
However, when they saw the list of leading actors, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
