Chapter 141 Mr. Luo! You hid it well!
February 15, 2034.
On this special day, which is only four days away from the Spring Festival, all major game platforms and fan communities around the Internet are bustling with activity.
Without him, 33 years have passed, and the latest status of "Dark Soul" is still the first PV released by Chuxin in September.
“On February 15th, the most serious episode of black soul addiction occurred. I was lying on the bed, chanting the Great Compassion Mantra desperately, and kept scratching my head in discomfort.
I thought it was okay to browse the Tieba forum, but when I saw the dark soul pictures being posted on the Tieba forum, I was covered in sweat. I sat up and slapped myself harder and harder until tears flowed from my eyes. I really didn’t know what to do. ”
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, you guys have been waiting so hard. When will we announce the official launch of the game!
Brothers all know that you are a fast shooter, GKD! ”
“Last time, I drew a spot for the internal test on the official website. Why didn’t I get one?
And the guys who were selected were really strict with their mouths. They really didn’t reveal any information at all, right? You deserve to die! ”
"I must have signed a confidentiality agreement. It's too hard to wait. Woohoo, I really want to play Dark Souls."
How can I let you know the inside story? What if we can't be tricked?
Seeing the anxious expressions of the sand sculpture netizens, Lao Lu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed an evil and savage smile.
He believes that the true thoughts of all the players participating in the closed beta must be exactly the same as his.
Just when countless netizens were wailing and asking for it but couldn't get it, Chuxin Game Studio, which had been silent for almost half a year, finally had new news.
The second real-machine demonstration PV, following the last little tail of 33 years, has quietly arrived.
Even Lao Lu, who had already experienced part of the content of Dark Souls, let out an excited roar when he saw Aite from his good brothers in the group, not to mention the players who had been waiting for so long.
As soon as I opened the video on Xiaopo Station, I was greeted by a huge special barrage that occupied the entire screen:
"Rush!"
"Urgent!"
"I'm so hot!"
The actual demonstration screen of the game has also officially kicked off.
Our protagonist, a knight in armor, appears in the center of the frame.
This place looks like it is in a prison, with a narrow corridor in the middle and closely separated cells on the left and right.
The light was dim, with only the swaying of the torches overhead pushing and pulling light and shadow.
"On the walls on both sides, do you see the gaps between the bricks where the adhesive has been corroded and separated? There are also small moss crawling all over the walls. Your original intention is too small!
Is the original engine so powerful? ”
"The smell of this cell is also very special. The only sounds in my ears are the sizzle of burning torches and the sound of our footsteps, which gives people a strong sense of oppression."
"So our protagonist is a knight?"
The scene changes.
The knight protagonist who was originally wearing armor suddenly turned into a master wearing a skirt.
Facing the red living corpse rushing towards him with a sword, Master Fa first rolled to avoid the attack, then he pinched a ball of flame in his hand and threw it towards the living corpse.
As a 100+ damage shot appeared above the monster's head, its health bar was instantly emptied and it fell to the ground.
"This paragraph gives much more information than the previous paragraph. First of all, the profession system has been added. Our current profession is obviously different from the previous knight.
Then in terms of weapons, this master's weapon should be the red glove on the right hand side with a ball of flame in the middle.
The number next to the fireball should be the number of uses. We can clearly see that after we released a fireball, the original number changed from 8 to 7.
It seems that Dark Souls abandoned the blue bar and chose the spell rules in DND. ”
"In Dark Souls, dodge should be the main method to avoid attacks. The two bars, one red and one green, in the upper left corner are almost clear. The red one represents the health bar and the green one represents the physical strength.
Whether rolling, attacking, or using spells, you need to consume physical strength. ”
"As of now, the operation of Dark Souls is still very smooth, but I don't know what it will be like when players actually get started."
After that, in the first half of the actual machine demonstration, players were demonstrated a series of basic related actions such as climbing up and down stairs, rolling, attacking, and defending.
Overall, quite satisfactory.
"Why do I feel that I am deliberately hiding something in my original intention?"
Just as the player finished typing this sentence, the screen that originally showed only the most basic operations suddenly changed.
The heavily armored knight holding a weapon that looked like a sword slashed Huashan Mountain with one force. The seemingly indestructible powerful monster in front staggered and was hacked to death by random swords.
The spearman hiding behind the shield was as steady as a rock even if the enemy's attacks fell in front of him. He thrust out his spear one after another and killed him.
The handsome mage wearing a luxurious mage robe leaned back and shot out a sunlight gun, directly knocking out a quarter of the health bar of the BOSS flying dragon in front of him!
The player who originally felt that his original intention was to hide something suddenly relaxed his frown and became excited.
In the first PV, I felt that the incredibly cool thunder gun could actually be learned by us players? It can still be released!
It's normal to kill a quarter of the BOSS's health bar with one shot and only use it five times!
There are also macho men who like to play close combat. Looking at the indestructible sword, they can't help themselves.
"I'm so looking forward to it! I can't help but be excited when I think that I can also use the thunder gun to hunt dragons. I will die without Dark Souls!"
This player’s barrage is the voice of many first-time fans.
But at this time, Lao Lu and others, who had already participated in the first test, were cursing in their hearts.
My original intention was so dirty!
Is hunting dragons with cool weapons part of Dark Souls? Of course it is.
But is this the essence of Dark Souls?
Not even fur!
There are so many Dragon Quest games with mid-world settings on the market, why is it that Dark Souls is the one that they both hate and love?
Because this game has such malice against you all the time! Because of the surprises of the twists and turns map! Because collecting is fun! Because I can clearly feel the sense of accomplishment that I am constantly getting stronger!
The thought of these guys waiting for a year or two, then waiting until the moment the game comes out, to experience it with excitement, and finally...
"Hey hey hey."
Lao Lu showed a heartfelt smile. Mr. Luo, you did a great job! You did a great job!
Just to hide it! Hide it hard! In this way, players can feel the fun after experiencing this game for the first time.
At this time, the salted fish players are in the communication group.
Zhuge Goudan, who had just watched the second PV of Dark Souls, instinctively felt that something was wrong.
The second PV is good, but obviously it doesn’t bring as much surprise and excitement to everyone as the first PV.
If it were just the things shown in the second PV, Dark Souls can be said to be a great game, but it still doesn't live up to the name of creating a genre.
However, isn't there a guy in the group who participated in the internal test?
Zhuge Goudan: "@老鲁, the second PV has also been released. Can you give some insight to the brothers? What is the core gameplay of this game?"
Yujiang sang late: "It's true. If the brothers hadn't lent you their luck, would you have been able to get a spot?"
Lao Lu: "I know you are impatient, but don't be impatient. Dark Souls is the kind of game where you can get the best gaming experience without reading any guides for the first time. It's boring if I say so."
Seeing Lao Lu's reply, Zhuge Goudan's thirst for knowledge became even stronger.
Zhuge Goudan: "It's okay, oops, we don't care about the game experience, we just want to satisfy our gossipy hearts."
Lao Lu: "Give up!"
Damn it!
With the release of the second PV, the release date of Dark Souls has been officially unlocked.
"Dark Souls"
[This game is not available yet]
[Planned release date: October 7, 2034]
[Price: 198 yuan]
[Introduction: One day, the first fire was lit]
From May last year to October this year, it took almost a year and a half. This is actually a fairly rapid output in the industry.
But the original fans are obviously not very satisfied, but there is nothing they can do.
Time passed like water.
In April 2034, the most anticipated game of TGA in 2033 was voted for "Dark Soul" by countless players.
Luo Bai himself did not go to receive the award, which undoubtedly disappointed many European and American fans.
While Dark Souls is still under development and the original engine is still being updated, there are definitely some bad voices.
For example, there was a guy named Gu who danced very well recently.
"I personally sneer at the many claims on the Internet that the original intention was just to hide things in the second PV.
Wanda's failure forced Luo Bai to choose to make the Ori-like games he was best at. Although he himself claimed to be a Soul-like and wanted to create a new genre, he could only deceive the fans and fool us. It can't be fooled.
We must know that the most important thing now is to prove ourselves.
I admit that Chuxin’s first PV did quite well, and caused a frenzy at home and abroad.
But the second PV is undoubtedly below the standard.
What I want to see is the exquisite design of the map and the continuation of the epic plot of the first PV, which are not reflected at all.
The second PV is just as popular as my first PV. I really have your original intention.
What is easy to hide? The most important thing is to have something good and bring it out to attract everyone. ”
And under this blog post, there are naturally a lot of people who criticize me.
"Thank you, Teacher Gu."
"Luo Bai? I don't really approve of you as a person who sells your head by inserting bids."
"Dark Souls is a huge scam. I can't help but watch the violent death scenes in this game."
The original fans basically did not refute these people. On the contrary, some fans were behind it, hoping to make a bigger fuss.
Who doesn’t know that Mr. Luo has a history of reverse ticket bounce?
Wouldn't it be great if we could make the topic a hot topic and let Mr. Luo bounce the vote for Dark Souls?
These ecstatic fans who have been waiting for Dark Souls can do anything now.
But this time, Luo Bai obviously didn't do such fancy things as reverse bounces.
On October 7, 2034, Dark Souls will be officially released!
Suddenly, the entire live broadcast room was empty.
After an absence of a year and a half, Chuxin once again swept the domestic gaming circle with unstoppable power.
Thanks to Tushan Yaya for being my wife, Hand 1357296, Xia Zejiang, You Mi Kuang, Waiting for XZ, Book Friends 20170726194129783, Wuyu Hehai, Beiyun Daosheng, and Xiwei for their monthly ticket support!
Tomorrow the plot of Dark Souls officially begins.
I was looking for a novice video on the Internet before, but after I couldn't find a suitable one, I had to download the game and start the game myself.
I am an old ASS player, and many operations are subconscious. It is quite interesting to force myself to forget many operations, and then think about where a newbie will die.
Of course, there are also painful aspects. I know where there are good weapons but I won’t pick them up. I use a small dagger from beginning to end.
It was better until the long sword at Feilong Bridge and the halberd at the back came out.
The few black knights didn’t drop anything good.
Finally, let me collect games from everyone. After Dark Souls is completed, there are basically no shortcomings in making games except for special ones like monster hunting.
You can make whatever game you want, one 3D and one 2D. If you guys give your opinions, I will make up the lessons myself.
Those who have played it should try it again, while those who have never played it can only read the information while looking for it.
As the number of words per day increases, there is less time for collecting information.
