MTL - I Develop Battlefield To Drive Global Players Crazy-Chapter 136

It was the magnificent royal city before, but at this time it seemed to be dilapidated and full of traces of time.

Under the dim light, the frigid wind swept the snowflakes.

Gray dust shrouded the huge royal city, and the whole world was dead silent.

The old woman's voiceover sounded again, but it was full of despair.

[That is Lothric, the hometown of the salary kings of all dynasties, and the place where the wandering converges]

[Therefore, the pilgrims went north and understood the meaning of the fable]

The wind swept up the dust and sand, and in the endless wasteland, a group of staggered and bizarre creatures with tortoise shells wrapped around their backs, leaning on crutches against the wind and sand, continued to move forward in the gray wasteland.

The bodies of these creatures, like burned firewood, showed a black cracked state, and even a faint orange-red spark could be seen.

Finally, one of the pilgrims collapsed from exhaustion, and at the end of his life he raised his head and glanced diligently in the direction of Lothric in the distance.

Then slumped down and never moved.

As the camera zooms out, the dull drum sounds and the low female voice chanting make players feel as if they are in that deep and dark fantasy world.

[The fire is about to go out, but Wang Ying is not in sight]

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

As the old woman's words of despair and vicissitudes fell, the sound of bells came from a distance, echoing between heaven and earth.

[When the flame of inheritance goes out, the bell will ring all around, and then wake up the ancient King Xin who is sleeping in the coffin]

The soundtrack, which is a mixture of violin and orchestral music, is gradually moving in the direction of excitement, and the low-pitched female voice is slowly raising its pitch.

With the sound of the bell, the camera came to the deep and dark underground cave, the huge coffin was pushed up, and the black slime-like mucus poured out and kept beating.

[Sacred Saint - Eldridge who devoured gods]

In the coffin and the mountain of corpses, soldiers wearing pointed hats, icy armor and holding half-human tall swords slowly got up, and behind them, dark red cloaks stained with blood swayed in the wind.

Looking directly at the camera, the group of soldiers slowly raised the great sword in their right hand, and the claw-shaped short knife in their left hand rested on the joint of their right arm.

[The Watchers of the Abyss - Flan Undead Squad]

Boom!

A huge chopping knife like a city wall smashed to the ground, causing a flurry of dust.

Then the giant like a hill in the huge coffin slowly got up. After hundreds of battles, the armor was dyed black and red with blood, and the arm holding the knife was cracked, which was the performance of the burning flame. You can even see the flames.

With an earth-shattering roar, the giant stood up from the coffin, and the sparks on his body rekindled.

[And, The Lonely King of Sin City: Giant King Yum]

Accompanied by the roar of King of Giants Yum, the chanting mixed with the soundtrack in the background music also reached its peak.

What an epic feeling!

What is a dark fantasy!

It's the taste! This is such a taste!

All players holding mobile phones or sitting in front of computers watching this promotional CG video are all too hilarious.

Three years of waiting, this is the taste they want!

Immediately afterwards, the soundtrack, singing, and all the sounds stopped abruptly.

The screen also fell into darkness, and the world became silent.

The old woman's voice sounded again.

[However, the salary kings will give up the throne after all]

[And the ashes without fire will come one after another]

[That is the nameless, the undead that cannot become fuelwood, and is cursed]

A pair of white hands appeared in the dark lens.

The woman who couldn't see her face slowly put the dark material goggles on her face that flowed like a liquid on the candlestick.

With long silver-white hair, black robes, and a tall figure, she looks like a saint.

【And because of this...】

【Ashes, will be so eager for the embers]

In the darkness, the woman wearing a blindfold walked forward with a corpse that seemed to have a broken leg.

The final screen fell into darkness, and the title of the game appeared in the center: "Dark Souls"

Then there is a line of subtitles:

[The "Dark Souls" trial experience will be open during the Magic Capital International Electronic Entertainment Exhibition! 】

In this promotional CG video, Chen Xu actually edited the original version.

That is to add part of the world view in Dark Souls 1.

The main reason is to lay the groundwork in advance. After all, he will definitely launch the content of the follow-up Soul 1.

Now I just add some suspense and fragmented content, mainly to give players a basic concept of the world view of Dark Souls.

That is how the age of fire came about, what does it mean to spread fire, and what responsibilities does King Xin have? Why do players in the game want to kill them.

Although one of the joys of soul-based games is the fragmented plot, players discover the background in the game little by little.

But it doesn't mean that even the basic world view design must be a riddle person for the player.

And Chen Xu didn't show all the content to the players.

The names of the gods such as Sun King Gwen, Witch, Nite, White Dragon Heath, etc. Chen Xu did not mention in the promotional video, only vaguely visible images.

 …

"." It's so arrogant! Don't say anything, this year's exhibition in the magic capital must go. 〃! "

"Must go +1, but I just don't know if the ticket is good or not!"

"Sure enough, it didn't disappoint, this promotional video is still the familiar taste!"

"Yes, yes, what is epic? This is epic!"

"It's time for those game makers who imitate the French Ring to see what this type of game should taste like!"

"Brilliant! When those salary kings appeared, it was like an explosion with the background music!"

"That's right, when that Wang Youmu appeared, the pressure was simply too strong!"

"God, Wang Youmu, have you watched the promotional video seriously! He is the King of Giants, and Youmu is the name! It's not that the race is a giant, it's called Wang Youmu!"

"Don't care, don't care, (Li Li's) anyway, you can understand! It really shocked my mother for a whole year!"

"And the look of the Flan Undead Team, it's so handsome! It's so crazy! I can't wait to fight them for 300 rounds."

"Haha, I'm afraid you won't be abused to the point of retreating!"

"Cut, I'm the man with the eighth circle of the French ring! And the main story line is different from the French ring becoming the king of Eldon. This "Dark Soul" seems to be spreading fire."

"I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait to spread the word!"

"I dream of spreading fire!"

Exploded, with the release of this promotional video.

Players around the world exploded in an instant.

It is still the familiar deep dark fantasy epic story.

From the narration to the art style, it's the taste they want.

Although there is a lot of content in the promotional video, they still don't understand a little bit.

But this is not critical. After all, even after three years have passed, there are still many fanatical players in "Ayrden's Circle" until now, finding some fresh content.

Even as far as the main line of the story is concerned, it is still divided into several genres, and many players have also incarnated as environmentalists, and various distances prove that their answers are orthodox.

So I don't understand, that's right!

This means the taste is pure!

Don't mess with them now, now they just want to spread the fire! .

Chapter 193 The player and President Chen can't wait

Playing without Dark Souls makes me feel sick all over.

After going through a wave of Nebula game sparse updates, all players feel this way.

Even at this moment, they still miss the Nebula game promotion strategy that they couldn't hold back for a long time.

"There are still 61 days until the Magic Capital International Electronic Entertainment Exhibition!"

"It's another day without "Dark Souls", and now I feel itchy all over my body, as if there are countless old thieves crawling!"

"Fuck, upstairs is even more heavyweight!"

"Spread the fire... Hey, I want to spread the fire!"

"Uncomfortable! Compared with the past, the old thief broke too many things this time! This is a crime!"

"I understand now that the more you know, the more uncomfortable it is!"

The relevant game community is full of hungry voices from players.

After all, in the past, even if you knew about the new project of Nebula Games.

But they don't know the news or the content, they just think about it in their hearts.

I can't even imagine it in my head.

But this time is different. The background of the world view, the original map design, and even the image of the BOSS have all been released.

In addition, it has been more than three years since "The Ring of Eldon", and the various elements are added together. For players who like this type of game, it is like a year.

 …

I am looking forward to the arrival of the Magic Capital International Electronic Entertainment Exhibition every day with players, so that I can feel the same 550 hours of "Dark Soul" as soon as possible.

In the Nebula game, Chen Xu also returned to his office from the project room of Dark Souls.

Iwata Chong and Gabe Newell, who had lost a lot of weight from the beginning, sat there with excited faces, and there was a document report in front of their desks.

"Mr. Chen, basically the technologies and components that NS needs to use have been preliminarily determined, and some of them need to be specially customized." Iwata Chong reported to Chen Xu their work results during this period.

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being, we will make a prototype first, and for handheld sales, we will also need to match some exclusive games that are attractive enough." Chen Xu said with a smile.

If this is inevitable, at least in the early stage, even if it is a limited-time exclusive, this is a point that attracts players to buy.

"But Mr. Chen, the main focus of NS is the body sensation?" Gabe Newell said strangely.

I have to say that the concept of this handheld can be said to be amazing.

The integration of handheld and home computers means that the NS will not only support the handheld mode at that time, but also support the use of home TV to play.

In addition, there is also a two-person game that is easy to share. You can see that design from the handle.

On the two handles of the left and right hands, each has a physical joystick and four buttons, and there are four buttons zl, r, z, and zr above the bibf handle.

It seems that this is the standard configuration of the normal handle, which is the default layout that has been certified in the market for many years.

But this is only single player mode.

Because these two handles are detachable!

There is a raised buckle on the back of the handle, and the player can remove the handle by simply pressing it down.

The disassembled handle can be directly crossed, and there are two more buttons SL and SR directly above.

With the plus and minus buttons that come with the two controllers, as long as it has been adapted, it is enough to deal with the buttons that most games need to involve.

At the same time, the two handles are also equipped with a gyroscope to support the player's somatosensory game mode.

It can be said that this game handheld, code-named NS, is completely a diversified handheld.

With a wealth of functions, when formulating strategies, Gabe Newell has some incomprehension, that is, it seems to be too biased towards the direction of somatosensory.
