MTL - I Develop Battlefield To Drive Global Players Crazy-Chapter 162

Especially when AE games and SIGA games are coveted.

But unfortunately, they really didn't gain any news at all.

With this kind of regret and unpleasant mood, players look forward to it.

Until the day of the Cologne Games Fair comes.

Chapter 228 "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"

In Cologne, as always, game manufacturers are doing their best to attract the attention of players.

But this time is different from usual, the most eye-catching place.

It's not a new game from any manufacturer.

It's brand new handhelds from major manufacturers.

Buying it or not is another matter, but at least the excitement is full.

But what is even more unexpected is that at this juncture, it has already stated that it will not participate in the Nebula Games at this year's Cologne Game Show.

It even released a game concept map and the name of the game.

In an instant, all the players, as well as the media and the organizers of Cologne were shocked.

Didn't you say you can't come to Cologne?

You... how come you still have new projects coming out!

In particular, the Cologne organizer is even more confused.

However, there is no way to do this. After all, the entire team has to work **** the development of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

Don't look at the Cologne Game Show, which is only a few days in total, but when it comes to venue layout and content presentation, it takes a lot of manpower.

Moreover, the entire content of this work "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is also produced by the headquarters.

Therefore, even if he participates in this Cologne exhibition, he will not be able to come up with something exciting.

The same thing, I didn't go to the Cologne exhibition and suddenly something burst out, and the player felt an unexpected surprise.

If you go to the Cologne exhibition, but only this thing is revealed, the players will be disappointed.

So, if that's the case, it's better not to go.

As for the current publicity warm-up, it is naturally to grab the heat.

After all, who participated in this Cologne exhibition and launched a new handheld, there is a competitor who is all Nebula games.

Although Chen Xu does not think that the handheld computers developed by these manufacturers can pose a big threat to NS.

But there should be no less than one blow.

However, compared to the organizers of the Cologne exhibition, there are still manufacturers in the industry.

After a brief surprise, the player was completely confused by the news released by Chen Xu.

The name of the game was announced by Chen Xu for the first time:

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

There is nothing special about the name, the main thing they are confused about is the original painting of the game.

What kind of art and style is this?

In the original concept painting, the left half shows a blond man in a blue shirt and green trousers climbing a near-vertical cliff.

Behind him is a sword and a shield, and a quiver and a longbow hang from his waist.

He holds a sword and shield in his hands, and a bow and quiver on his back.

The right half area is based on the map scenery location of the game.

A volcano in the distance spewed thick smoke, and the clouds blocked the sun that was about to set on the mountain, but the light that passed through was still very dazzling.

Dense forests, rugged mountains, rushing rivers, towering towers, and castles surrounded by dark red scents.

The art style of this game is actually cartoon rendering?

"So the new game looks like this? Isn't it too cartoony?"

"Didn't you read the introduction? This is a game on NS. Just thinking about the "Super Mario: Odyssey" cartoon doesn't mean it's not fun."

"Damn it, brother, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say cartoons are bad, I just expressed that I don't like cartoons very much."

"But it feels a little different from Odyssey. Mario I feel is pure cartoon, but this Zelda has a bit of a semi-realistic style."

"Indeed, so the plot of this work may be more mature than Mario's fairy tale?"

"Don't be embarrassed, there's no story in Mario! It's clearly the princess Kuba and Mario playing the house!"

"But I don't know what type it is. Wouldn't it still be jumping? I still have more than half of the moons to collect!"

"I don't think it should be possible, haven't you read the name of the game? "The Legend of Zelda", I think it should be a more royal RPG game."

"That's right, NS, I think it's really suitable for the time-killing genre like RPG, and the name "The Legend of Zelda" has the style of the kingly RPG (bibf) a dozen or twenty years ago, right? !"

"Boldly predict the plot direction of this game. The main line should tell the story of Zelda's growth from a small trash fish to a legend!"

The players talked a lot, and finally came to a very crucial conclusion.

That is, in this game, there will definitely be a combat system, otherwise, the protagonist named 'Zelda', isn't the weapon on his body a display?

As for more things, it can only be guessed by relying on an original painting and the title of the game.

The discussion among the players is in full swing.

And the manufacturers participating in the Cologne Game Show are a black line.

What the hell! What the hell!

Especially looking at their own exhibition area, a group of people were not attracted by the products they brought.

Instead, they looked at Chen Xu's official blog one by one with their mobile phones, and discussed with other players around the old thief's new game and the Legend of Zelda.

This makes the heads of the major manufacturers responsible for the Cologne exhibition feel like they are being tauren.

When will the pure love warrior kill the tauren!

Listening to the increasingly enthusiastic discussions of the players, the major game manufacturers shed tears like a bitter master.

...

I didn't know that this casual move by myself made the major manufacturers participating in the Cologne exhibition feel that Chen Xu was being bullied. At this time, he was still leading the team to develop "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

Different from the original version, Chen Xu has not prepared any DLC for this game.

Instead, the stories of the Four Heroes and the Master Mode are all added to the game.

This can also better allow players to feel the charm of Zelda, and at the same time understand the story on Hyrule.

As for the various speculations players have about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

He wasn't ready to respond either.

When the game actually comes out, they will understand what kind of game this is.

As for the main line of the story, it may even be guessed, and Chen Xu is not worried about this.

Because the story of the Zelda series has never been the main core.

Even after decades, Zelda's mainline has never changed.

All are a common set of templates, the story of the brave man defeating the big devil to save the world.

This is the tone of Zelda's plot.

Even the Twilight Princess, the first realistic style and the most grand and dark story, did not deviate from this scope.

On the contrary, the side quests in the game, such as the stories of the four heroes such as Link and Mifa, are more exciting and moving than the main story.

It's not that the heart is the branch line, and the foot is the main line.

Purely because the game of Zelda is not suitable for bitter hatred and various flipping designs.

What it needs is that kind of pure heroic adventure to save the world.

Chapter 229 The protagonist is called Link, not Zelda?

After the Cologne Game Show, handheld consoles and games from various game manufacturers appeared one after another.

I'm afraid that I won't get enough attention, which will lead to the street.

After all, for these game manufacturers, they have to compete not only with NS, but also with the products of other friends.

It can even be said that the competition of the products of friends is even higher than that of NS~.

After all, today's NS has already climbed the mountain - and belongs to the challenged.

If you can't even pass the level of your friend's handheld console, how can you challenge the NS that has already climbed to the top of the mountain?

On the NS side, it is completely different.

In addition to adding new subscription members, and launching some small games.

Nebula games are completely unresponsive.

The game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has no news at all.

So far, all players know is the name of the game, and the picture released by Chen Xu and Nebula Games official blog at the Cologne exhibition.

Everything else, they don't know at all, and the development progress is even more a mystery.

 …

In the Nebula game, Chen Xu was looking at the information in front of him.

Saturn of SIGA, and 3DO of AE games.

Compared with other manufacturers, these two actions are the fastest.

From the appearance, it is obvious that these two companies have made a lot of changes in order to avoid the shape patent of Nebula Games.

Among them, SIGA's Saturn, the shape of the entire handheld, tends to be a round cake, does not support cassettes but is fully digital.

Compared with the NS, the configuration is almost the same. As for the price of $249, it is $50 cheaper than the NS.

Obviously decided to sacrifice the profit of the machine and rely on the price war to win this victory.

As for the 3DO of the AE game, it is the main configuration, the square handheld structure, but the price is 100 US dollars higher than the NS.

From the perspective of its own handheld design, from Chen Xu's point of view, there is not much defect.

Because these two are completely according to the NS model.

Just made an article on the configuration and price.

After looking at it for a while, and then glanced at the other party's currently announced game lineup, Chen Xu's heart was completely relieved.

Unless the other party has something killer, the current lineup of these two hosts is definitely not the opponent of NS.

Because the other party is still going in the direction of light casual players.

If it is a week or two after NS goes online, or even a month or two.

Well there is still a fight, but it's too late.

Turning his attention away from the information on the two hosts, Chen Xu picked up the NS on the table.

Eighty percent of the game has been completed.

In the test version, Chen Xu controlled Link to run, jump, set fire to mountains, and electric fish in the river...

Used to test various interactive effects in the game.

At the same time, due to the game engine and technology, many functional bugs in the previous life have disappeared.

Such as wind bombs, and the attributes of Easter Eggs...

Although these are bugs, it is undeniable that they have added a lot of fresh gameplay to the game.

Therefore, Chen Xu also specially reserved it for it, it depends on whether the players can find it.

Of course, Chen Xu believes that in this version, players may also find some bugs that were not in the original version.

But as long as it's not bad, for example, it will cause the game's archive to crash, cause the game to crash, or get stuck in the game's mission progress.

In the follow-up, there is a high probability that Chen Xu and his team will not repair it.
