Chapter 549 Hehehe

   "After the foreshadowing of the previous two colleagues, I think everyone should be able to guess what it is this time."

  E-sports festival site.

  Zhong Xiu appeared on the screen.

  Compared with Zhu Nianqiao, he has a different style.

  Although he is less than thirty years old now.

  But very calm and sophisticated.

   "Yes, a new surprise."

  Zhong Xiu smiled, gave the answer, and sold Guan Zi at the same time: "You may remember that Linmu Studio produced a rather special game... a game based on the element of sword and halberd combat.

  In that game, there is a world full of grotesques and monsters. Unknown adventurers are blessed, and will be reborn every time they die, and they will continue to challenge invincible opponents..."

  Zhong Xiu hasn't finished speaking yet.

   In the field.

   Huge cheers broke out.

  If "Super Mario: Odyssey" is a new game, players are only familiar with the image of Mario, and the overall popularity is almost low.

  The "Dark Soul" is a "special" work among all the game sequences of Linmu Studio.

  The popularity is too high! !

  Whoever has played does not say a word—Lin Yao is insane!

  The difficulty of the game itself was completely incompatible with the mainstream games at the time.

  When everyone is pursuing the refreshing feeling in the game, Linmu Studio is actively promoting the progress of the times.

  Suddenly killed a carbine...

   Directly dual-platform moved out the first "Dark Soul".

  In addition, "The Legend of Zelda" was very popular at that time, and a person who called himself Uncle Lin broke the news and led all the players into the ditch...

   This has made countless players embrace the idea of ​​being able to experience the open world in this game and experience the adult version of "The Legend of Zelda".

  Then... I was taught to be a man by the big **** at the beginning.

  On the day the game was released, the major player communities were directly devastated.

  Lin Yao is happy to get the title of 'Darkness'...

  The subsequent development of this game is even more outrageous.

  Many players complained about the difficulty of this game at first, but they were just complaining...

soon.

  Difficult games bring a different kind of coolness...

   Players learn from repeated failures, and then gain a huge sense of accomplishment when they win against difficult enemies...

  This sense of accomplishment is hard to give in other games.

   Many players are addicted.

  Countless players turned into shaking M.

   This has spread the popularity of this game again and again, attracting a large wave of players.

   It became the most successful, but also the most unusual game of the year.

  Even until now.

  The game has been released for so long, and there are still a bunch of players in the game, developing alternative gameplays such as parkour and spikes.

   One can imagine how much the players of this game like this genre.

  Even if you haven’t played it, the audience must have heard the name of this game.

   It's no wonder you don't cheer!

on the screen.

  When Zhong Xiu recorded the video, he seemed to guess that the players would be cheering.

   deliberately paused.

Then, after the players' cheers subsided a little, he continued: "That's right, that game is "Dark Soul"! I want to talk to you about the story of the birth of this game... Do you know? Back then Lin When Yao proposed this project, the key words she gave were—pain and suffering.”

   "To be honest, at first I thought these two key words were about the plot. After reading the planning book briefly, my thoughts didn't change. I didn't realize how wrong I was until it was officially in the preparation stage."

   "Pain and suffering... This is about players. In the early stages of development, when I sorted out the entire game and Lin Yao's thinking, I was really shocked to see the malicious design, complicated maps, and extremely high difficulty."

   "Don't say you don't understand. When I tested it myself, I didn't understand the meaning of such a high difficulty. I was beaten until I scolded my mother."

   “At one point, I even felt that this game would definitely fail…”

   "But in the end, you may not believe it, but I am the first player to clear the game, and I am addicted!"

Zhong Xiu scratched his head and smiled again: "Although I still scold my mother when playing, but while making it, as a player, I go to the game to experience the unique art style and unique atmosphere formed under Lin Yao's leadership. very happy.

  Of course, I don’t feel happy to let you suffer too...but I just feel that the game is great!

  This reminds me of the old games in the past... It’s not that the old games must be good, the development of the times is inevitable. As a producer, I have a clear understanding of this. "

   "But I have to admit that the rapid development of the industry has indeed obliterated the original intentions of many game producers, including myself."

   "Or to be more precise, let's base the goal of making games on the basis of getting players to pay, and try our best to keep players as soon as the game starts."

   "To a certain extent, this is of course a good thing, allowing more players to experience the charm of the game, but on the other hand... if the game is all like this, it will be boring, right?

  A classical game that doesn’t even have a big map, and relies entirely on players to explore. Monsters and player information are equal. It’s not that the game character has become stronger, but the game experience that I have become stronger...It’s also great, isn’t it? "

   "So when Lin Yao said she wanted to make a sequel to "Dark Souls"...I agreed without even thinking about it."

  Zhong Xiu straightened his waist and sat upright on the chair: "For this sequel, the key word Lin Yao gave is—a strange and magnificent journey!"

   "The bell is ringing! Wake up! Everyone! It's time to spread the fire!"

  Zhong Xiu clapped his hands and smiled brightly.

   Then do the same as the previous colleagues.

   Raise your right hand and pull it from the edge of the screen to the other side.

   It's like kicking off the curtain.

   disappeared from the screen.

   Only the last sentence was left.

"At the end of the first generation of "Dark Souls", in front of Gwen's original furnace door, everything there was covered with a layer of white, but it was not snow, but ash, left from the world burning from the beginning to the end The ashes of King Gwyn, the ashes of the furnace, and the ashes of all the black knights.

   And in the ashes, there is a golden light that shines like the sun..."

   "..."

  The moment Zhong Xiu's voice fell.

  The screen went dark.

   Next.

   "Dark Souls II" (Dark Souls Ⅱ) the name.

   slowly emerged and froze in the center of the screen.

   But the performance of the players is... real.

   "Get out! Don't pass it on!!"

   Hear Zhong Xiu's words.

  See the game name appear.

  At the beginning, there were a few players, and then the whole venue was mobilized, shouting the same sentence...

   Immediately afterwards, a lot of laughter broke out.

this moment.

  The player completed a void interaction with Zhong Xiu and Lin Yao.

but.

  Wait until the promotional video is officially played.

  The players immediately quieted down.

  Because of the iconic background music of "Dark Soul", which is full of sacred charm, it rang.

  The logo of Linmu Studio appeared on the screen.

   appeared briefly.

   slowly disappeared again.

   Next.

  The Ring of Darkness from the previous game.

   appeared in the center of the screen.

  Firelight lingered on the edge of the dark circle.

  The low-pitched narration at the beginning of the first generation game sounded again.

  At the same time, the narration sounded.

  The flames on the ring of darkness began to gradually dim...

  【Yes, they did. 】

  【As they talked about the human niche. 】

  【The flame went out. 】

  【And the king... has not yet been crowned. 】

  Familiar, confusing words.

   Next.

  The Ring of Darkness faded away from the screen, replaced by Wangcheng.

  The background music suddenly becomes louder.

  The screen starts to switch quickly...

  An ancient dragon straddling the city wall.

   The walking dead undead.

  A weird nun patrolling the dark dungeon.

  Like a pilgrimage, wearing red robes, mummy queuing up.

  ...It's right!

  When the player sees this, the first impression is that it feels right.

  The fire went out, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters came out...

  Doomsday scenes can be seen everywhere.

   This is Dark Souls!

   And when a knight in heavy armor appeared on the screen, he raised a red dagger in his hand and plunged it into the ashes.

   leaned down.

  Light a bonfire, and at the same time put your whole body in close contact with the rising flames.

   It's even more delicious!

   This is the undead!

only…

   In the second half of the promotional video, something is a bit wrong.

  The second half is mainly a variety of battle scenes.

  Mummy Juggernaut.

  A knight with a shield and a one-handed sword.

  Compared to the previous work.

   They move more fluidly and look faster and more aggressive.

   But some things are still the same.

  For example, hidden in the shadows, under the light of candles, a huge skull with a crown, Bordeaux, who is as huge as a beast, and a dancer wearing a scarf at the end...

  These behemoths are paired with religious background music.

   Full of mythological meaning and dark colors.

  The dancer wearing a veil swung a flame-filled magic sword, spinning like a dance, and slashed at the knight opposite her with one sword after another.

  The opponent has no backhand strength.

at last.

  She grabbed the knight with one hand and threw it in the air, then raised the magic sword with the other hand, piercing the knight with one sword, and the flame on the magic sword rose instantly, enveloping the knight in it.

   It fully explained what oppression is!

   Really... so handsome!

  Although they are enemies.

  【"Dark Souls Ⅱ" (Dark SoulsⅡ)】

  At the end of the promo, the game name appears.

   Followed by the release date and the time of tomorrow's meeting.

   "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

   Auditorium.

  The background music full of strong religious meaning in the promotional video still has an aftertaste. Players who were still saying "Fuck off, don't pass it on" just now saw the scene of the execution of the boss dancer and the game name of "Dark Souls 2".

  He cheered again with a straight face.

  It was louder than just shouting 'Get out, don't pass on'.

   "..."

   Kou Hong sat in his seat, looked up at the screen, and suddenly gave a wry smile.

   Another game with a completely different style...

  Realistic modern warfare, cartoon-style action-adventure, medieval action role-playing full of strong mythology and dark colors...

   Really doesn’t match anything.

  He realized that he...still underestimated Lin Yao.

  He said that Lin Yao is suitable for film and television work...but now it seems that she is suitable for any job!

   is outrageous...

at the same time.

Backstage.

  Lin Yao stood in front of the screen, seeing the announcement of the last game tonight, and received enthusiastic feedback.

   immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

  Relieved.

"Great."

  Lin Yao turned around and sat back on the chair, then turned the chair to face the conference table, put the burden of warmth on the table, lay down all over, stretched out her hands, and stretched vigorously.

  Happy face.

  …

  The opening ceremony of the e-sports festival came to a perfect conclusion.

   This evening, in addition to the wonderful opening performance.

   There are a total of four opening games, which are equally exciting.

   And the three neutrals of the rest time.

  All are Linmu Studio’s own game advertisements.

   Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and Dark Souls 2!

   And the event and the new game advertisement, combined... surprisingly well!

   Players all night long.

  Except for the end of the last project, everyone is in a state of excitement at other times.

   Immerse yourself in the atmosphere created by Forest Studio.

Inextricable.

   Really great! !

   And obviously.

  The opening ceremony that left a deep impression on the players tonight, related topics, cannot disappear because of the end.

   That night.

  Although the opening ceremony is over, it is already very late.

  But there was still a large wave of viewers watching the live broadcast or at the scene, pouring into the forums and game groups.

【awesome! Really great! I knew it after watching the opening ceremony! Linmu Studio will not disappoint you tonight! really! The short film is a surprise! Subsequent games are even more surprising! 】

  【After watching the short film, I finally understand why Linmu Studio can rise... They are really great! To be honest, after watching the short film, I want to join Linmu Studio, I think it will be great to work in it! 】

  【Ahhh...I thought I wouldn’t see any new games from Linmu Studio this year! Unexpectedly! There were three styles immediately at the opening ceremony! Good guy! I call it a good guy! 】

  【But it's not over yet! That short video, that box logo, definitely showed more than three games! Come on, big brother, analyze it, what else is in it! I want to know what other treasures are hidden in Linmu Studio! 】

  【The players who didn't go to the scene really lost money! The atmosphere at the scene is really amazing. I just watched the live broadcast of the opening ceremony performance, and it is completely different from going to the scene. 】

  【You think we don’t want to go to the scene! Can't get a ticket! But there is one thing to say, even if it is a live broadcast, you can still feel that the music and performance are really good! It will be more exciting to go to the scene! 】

  【Good guy, I read it all and found that the producer is really inseparable from Lin Yao! Everything has to do with her...]

  【Lin Yao committed a heinous crime! But please have more sinister Lin Yao in the game circle! 】

  【…】

   Some players are still expressing their excitement.

  And some players have already started to analyze.

   Live and live, everyone is staring at games and new games, there is no time.

   But now it's different.

  In that short video, Lin Yao gave a lot of hints.

  In the end, many staff members put things in the box, although there are all kinds of strange things.

   But most of them are related.

   So soon.

   Many players have found models representing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Dark Soul 2" through playback.

   Meanwhile, analysis of other undisclosed items begins.

   But some models are okay, but for some new works, it is really hard to guess what it is, so I can only watch short videos over and over again, trying to find some clues.

  At the same time, the box in the short film of Lin Mu Studio also has an official name—Lin Yao’s Treasure Box!

  Some players began to analyze what else was in the box through the clues of the short video, and wanted to see what else was hidden in Lin Yao's treasure box.

   Other players began to discuss the new game revealed now.

   Start discussing the gameplay of two sequels and a new game.

   There are also some players discussing tonight's game.

  Plus players who crazily vent their excitement.

   It directly made the major player communities and the groups discussing the game very lively, and even seemed a little chaotic...

but.

   Although there is no common topic.

   But they were discussing the same thing - Forest E-sports Festival!

exploded.

  The heat really exploded.

and.

   With the opening ceremony ended.

   It wasn't just the player community that was involved.

   On social media.

  【Music for the opening ceremony of Linmu Studio】

   This topic also quickly appeared on the hot list.

   Although this opening, two of the songs have been featured before.

  But after being unable to stand up to the shape change, the effect of the live performance is really great.

  The first song "We Will Rock You" by the Queen band, the contestants and the audience on the field accompanied the song together, and the moment they sang together, everyone got goosebumps when they heard it.

   As for the second song "Legends Never Die", as long as they have the ability to empathize, audiences who have watched any competition will find it difficult to stand up to it.

  As for the third song "Opening the Sky", although it is also an old song, this combination of classical musical instruments kicked off the whole short film, which is really exciting.

  The performance effects and stage effects really kill a large party in seconds.

  The topic of "Music for the Opening Ceremony of Linmu Studio" has once again appeared in the sights of many people who don't pay attention to e-sports events, or even games.

  Seeing at least 30% of the audience from overseas, seeing the warm atmosphere of the scene.

   It's kind of funny.

   It also made some people crusade against the current singer...

   No matter what game company is, it is more progressive than the new generation of singers...

   This exposure and discussion.

  Linmu e-sports festival...became the hottest topic.

Then.

  Probably because there are indeed quite a few overseas audiences, and the audience was so enthusiastic...satisfaction and excitement visible to the naked eye.

  So many authoritative media also reported this incident through the recently emerging social media news accounts.

【congratulate! Just now, the opening ceremony of the Linmu E-sports Festival held by Linmu Network Technology Co., Ltd. ended perfectly.

  In addition to the wonderful opening ceremony and competitions, three game sequels that are very popular overseas were also announced.

   It is reported that the opening ceremony attracted nearly 20,000 overseas spectators to watch the game, and the atmosphere was warm! [Picture][Picture][Picture]]

  This short news released by the most authoritative media.

   Directly retweeted multiple times.

  Even overseas accounts of authoritative media posted similar messages.

  The heat has further increased...

   After all, the Forest E-sports Festival does attract many overseas audiences every year. The Forest Carnival in the first half of the year was also well received and attracted a lot of overseas audiences.

  Plus their games are selling well overseas.

  Emotional and rational.

  It is appropriate to show your face to Linmu Studio.

  Lin Yao herself doesn’t feel much about this, she is indeed sensitive sometimes, but she is still young after all.

  But a colleague like Tianhu Li Guangsheng, seeing such news, really envied his teeth to be gritted...

   This is so obvious.

  The development of Linmu Studio in the past few years, as well as their ability to attract money overseas, is obvious to all.

   Now the time is really right.

  It was him instead.

  He will also set up such a company as a benchmark for cultural products going overseas...

   But envy is useless.

  He can't change anything.

  If he can hold such an event, and the game can go overseas to earn foreign exchange, then he can still compete with Linmu Studio, but the problem is that he can't.

   Then there is really nothing to say.

tonight.

  Linmu Studio and Linmu E-sports have stole the limelight.

   And predictable.

  Tomorrow there may be another chance to shine.

   Forum.

  The authoritative media's congratulations have also become one of the topics of the players.

  However, they just yelled a few words of "Linmu Studio" awesome.

   After all, they are players, and this kind of melon is enough to say a few words.

  Compared to these trivial matters.

  They still pay more attention to events, games, and Lin Yao's treasure chest...

One o'clock.

   Binge for so long.

   Some players went to rest.

   After all, there is an event tomorrow! There is also a new game meet and greet early in the morning.

   Maybe you can still see Lin Yao's treasure chest!

   It's time to recharge your batteries!

but.

   Some players didn't sleep.

   And after they discussed the opening ceremony of this year's Forest E-sports Festival.

  Finally talking about the Global Game Awards...

   After all, the Global Game Awards will be held tomorrow morning.

  【When the Global Game Awards are held, Linmu Studio’s new game will start a meeting at the same time, hehehe... [funny]]

   Such a post appeared on the homepage.

   Then the replies below the post quickly ushered in explosive growth.

   "Hehehe... I thought Linmu Studio was acting out of anger, but now it seems that they are already prepared."

   "I don't know how the player will choose tomorrow... Hehehe."

   "Is it worth thinking about the live broadcast of this year's Forest E-sports Festival? [Funny]"

   "I think the organizer of the Global Game Awards should be very regretful now... It would be nice if Linmu Studio could broadcast the film on the spot. Now that it's over, the other party has come to fight in the ring with the enthusiasm of the e-sports festival."

   "Hey hey hey, tomorrow will be fun."

   "..."

   Post below.

  It's all hehehe...
