Chapter 039: The mutual appreciation between the gold medal Mewtwo producers 2
At the same time, Li Yunhan had already laid down in the Mewtwo game cabin, ready to play "Under the Blade".
Although he really doesn't like this Mewtwo, as a producer, he has to play it no matter how much he dislikes it. This is a kind of professional quality.
After experiencing it for about an hour, Li Yunhan exited Mewtwo and returned to the default space of the game cabin.
“Although it’s not earth-shattering, it doesn’t have any major shortcomings. After spending a large amount of money on publicity, it can’t be that bad.”
“Although the reviews online are average, judging from the data, the revenue data is definitely not bad.”
"Is it really as Corey said, that sooner or later we Mewtwo producers will become screws on the assembly line that can be replaced at any time?"
Li Yunhan suddenly felt melancholy.
This feeling is a bit like the craftsmen of the old days, watching their life's work gradually disappear.
In Li Yunhan's opinion, there is nothing innovative about the Mewtwo in "Under the Blade", but with enough resources, it can always create a gap with other Mewtwo!
The plot of this Mewtwo is extremely similar to those Mewtwo produced according to standardized processes. In other words, it is the style of a popcorn movie, with all the necessary beginnings, developments, climaxes and endings.
Some levels deliberately create suspense about the enemy's invincibility, while others make people excited through exciting scenes.
Although this formulaic emotional process looks stiff and rigid to Li Yunhan, it is enough for most Mewtwo players who are only concerned about having fun.
The battle system in Mewtwo is also highly stitched together.
Although the main gimmick is cold weapon combat, firearms are also retained in Mewtwo for players to choose from. During the battle, players can wield cold weapons at will and defeat the enemies that keep emerging like chopping melons and vegetables.
Although space-time creatures keep appearing, players are completely overwhelmed in terms of physical fitness, so it is only the visual effect that makes players feel that they are surrounded by dangers, but in fact they can just chop them away mindlessly.
Moreover, Mewtwo also has many first-line Mewtwo actors making cameo appearances in the plot.
Although the acting skills of these Mewtwo actors vary, they all have a lot of fans and can be said to have their own popularity.
After editing, the complex emotions they expressed were conveyed to the players, greatly increasing the players' sense of immersion.
In fact, similar lawn mowing games are easy to get bored with, but by adding some special emotions, players are driven by complex emotions of excitement and revenge, which can minimize the possibility of getting bored with mowing the lawn.
Of course, after the end of Mewtwo, once the emotions that Mewtwo conveys to players fade away, players will look back and feel empty and bored.
But by that time, this Mewtwo had already made all the money it should have made, and players had indeed experienced the entire Mewtwo process.
At most, the rating will be lower.
Even the problem of low ratings and negative reviews can be easily solved in the early stages. Changye Entertainment Group has a good cooperative relationship with various channels, and we can just ask them to hide the negative reviews and change the ratings.
Although these channel dealers are arrogant towards general R&D companies, they dare not offend Changye Entertainment Group too much.
After all, Changye Entertainment Group is the absolute leader in the field of Mewtwo research and development. Once the two sides fall out, Changye Entertainment Group will not allow its new Mewtwo to be released on this channel, which will be a huge loss for this channel.
Although channel dealers generally have a stronger voice, when R&D companies become strong enough, the positions of both parties may be reversed.
In short, Li Yunhan also hoped that "Under the Blade" would flop completely, so that the plot of the top management of Changye Entertainment Group would be shattered.
But the iron facts before him forced him to admit that this fantasy was still too unrealistic.
Sometimes things in this world are just a little unfair, and not everything works out the way it should.
Li Yunhan was in a daze in the default space of the Mewtwo game cabin for a while, and suddenly noticed that "The Embers Are Going Out" also had an update!
In the past few days, Li Yunhan has been experiencing the death version of "The Embers Are Going Out" intermittently, but the difficulty is too high, and his progress cannot be said to be fast. He is still constantly adapting.
That’s why he has the Mewtwo game “Embers Are Going Out” in his game cabin, and it is placed in a very prominent position.
The Mewtwo he was playing had been updated, which should have been a good thing, but Li Yunhan was a little panicked.
"Didn't I specifically tell Captain Chen She to release it later?"
"Under the Blade" is coming with great force, we must avoid its edge!"
"Why is he so impatient? Or did he not listen to all my earnest words?"
Li Yunhan was so angry that he felt like he was "completely unable to lead his disappointing teammates."
He asked himself, even if it was Mewtwo that he personally created, he would have to temporarily retreat if he encountered such a situation.
After all, Mewtwo is a creative industry. Being conservative means living off past success, while being innovative means taking risks. You have to choose one or the other. Who can guarantee that the Mewtwo they create will be a big hit?
When you encounter a situation where your opponent has more resources than you do, it is simply unfair competition and there is no need to be stubborn.
This is like being on the battlefield. Even if you are confident in your command and fighting spirit, when the enemy has several times more troops than you, there is no need to go all out. It would be safer to make some detours and look for the right opportunity.
In short, Li Yunhan had no idea what Chen She was thinking, and he really wanted to send a call to ask him.
But then I thought again, Mewtwo has already come up, it's a fait accompli, what's the point of asking again?
Li Yunhan sighed silently, there was nothing he could do now that things had come to this. He could only hope that "Embers Will Die" could fight back and maintain decent data under the pressure of huge resources from "Under the Blade"!
Thinking of this, Li Yunhan started updating the complete version of "The Embers Are Going Out".
At the same time, he also automatically entered the promotional space of "Embers Are Going Out".
This space can be seen as a three-dimensional poster.
When players are looking for games in the Super Dream game cabin, they can enter this special space and preview the general situation of Super Dream, just like when watching a movie, you can first look at the poster and roughly guess the content of the movie.
Li Yunhan didn’t care too much at first. After all, he had been playing for a while and was already very familiar with the previous promotional space.
He is nothing more than a ragged knight, fighting his way forward through thorns and bushes, looking at the imperial city in the distance.
But then he realized he was wrong.
The complete version of "The Embers Are Going Out" replaced the original promotional space!
Li Yunhan felt like he was in a thick gray fog, which kept rolling and changing, forming different shapes, which could lead to many different interpretations.
Looking down at my feet, it was still the barren gray land, and I could vaguely see corpses at my feet.
In the distance, one can vaguely see some flickering flames of varying brightness, constantly refracting in the gray fog, turning into a hazy color.
Lin Luxi turned Chen She's two-dimensional picture into a three-dimensional scene in a super dream. With an extra dimension added out of thin air, naturally some changes would occur.
After the full version of Mewtwo was downloaded, the mist slowly dissipated and seamlessly connected to the beginning of "The Embers Are Going Out" where Chen She played the experiential Mewtwo, that is, the unknown knight who persuaded the brother to look at the imperial city from afar, but finally sat down exhausted at the persuasion stone.
"With this arrangement, the connection is more natural than before."
"And this abstract promotional scene can also reflect the title of the game. The flames behind the gray fog can be interpreted as the holy fire that is still burning in "The Embers Are Going Out". But... why is there a big one and several small ones?"
"And the key point is that the promotional space is for new players to see! Wouldn't it be more confusing for those new players?"
Li Yunhan was a little confused.
Although the promotional space is arranged in this way, there is no abrupt switch where the vision goes black. Instead, it is directly connected with the effect of fog dispersing, which is better than the previous connection effect. But the problem is that the promotional space was not originally used to connect with Mewtwo!
Its main function should be to quickly introduce the basic situation of Mewtwo to players so that new players can become interested in Mewtwo.
If a new player sees this promotional space as just a gray fog and can't see anything, how can he decide to buy and play the game?
This change is a bit unprofessional.
Moreover, the promotional space is usually linked to the promotional picture, which means that "Embers Will Die" is likely to replace all its promotional resources with this scene of unclear meaning.
For players, this is definitely the ultimate deterrent!
"Forget it, whatever happens... I'd better finish the full version of "Ember of the Dead" first."
Li Yunhan suddenly had a feeling of "too many complaints to mention, but I don't know where to start". The current state of "Embers of Destruction" is that there are too many lice to bite, and too many debts to worry about. Anyway, ever since the trial version of Mewtwo came out, it has been courting death, and by the time the official version was released, the courting death attribute finally reached its peak.
High difficulty, high negative emotions, split into the death version and the coward version, changed the promotional image, and head-on confrontation with "Under the Blade"...
If it was a Mewtwo, any one of them would be enough to kill me ten times.
So Li Yunhan was not worried anymore. It was already like this, so what was there to worry about?
He decided to complete the death version of "The Last Embers" first.
It’s not that he is particularly arrogant, it’s mainly because he really has the ability.
Li Yunhan was originally a top figure among the younger generation of the resistance army. He was not weak in combat ability and had practiced both cold weapons and firearms. At the same time, he was also the producer of Mewtwo and was very good at finding loopholes and loopholes in Mewtwo.
The previous progress was slow, on the one hand because he was entangled in trivial matters and was in a bad mood, and he didn't really calm down to become a level-clearing machine. On the other hand, it was because he still had to adapt to the negative emotions and weak body in Mewtwo. Moreover, it was only a trial version, not the complete version, which made him a little uninterested.
What's more, after he entered "Embers Are Out", he experienced it with the mentality of a player. He didn't expect that playing Mewtwo would require him to fight to the death like the resistance army!
But now, Li Yunhan decided to play seriously!
Starting from the Persuasion Stone, Li Yunhan embarked on his journey.
He played it casually before, and just beat the death version of the persuasion brother, and then stopped. The main reason is that the large scene of the imperial city now only has the city wall part. After playing the trial version, the content behind is gone. Isn't it a break?
Now that everything is updated, you can continue to experience it.
"The difficulty of the death version has indeed increased a lot, and the tolerance for mistakes has become much lower. The spearmen on the city wall used to be able to hold on after being stabbed once, but now they will die suddenly after being stabbed and then touched."
"Perhaps to enhance the sense of immersion, "Ember of the Dead" does not display the health bar, and the negative emotions are very high, so the impact of being injured on the player is actually much greater than other Mewtwo."
"But for those who really want to complete the game, this change in difficulty is not completely unacceptable."
Li Yunhan became serious and took steady and cautious steps.
For those who really want to clear the level without taking any damage, what difference does it make if the monster's damage is multiplied a few times?
Of course, it is impossible for Li Yunhan to complete the level without dying in one try, but he is different from other players. He will carefully analyze the characteristics of each monster and basically will not fail twice against the same monster.
And the further you go, the more you adapt to the difficulty setting, and the smoother the game will be.
Because this kind of high-difficulty Mewtwo is often a matter of haste. The main reason why it is difficult at first is that you have not adapted to the characteristics of the game. Once you adapt and form a habit, it is only a matter of time to clear it.
"Strange, I always thought my cold weapon combat skills were OK. Although not top notch, it's not bad either."
"But after entering this Mewtwo, I realized that I still lack a lot. Mainly because my physical fitness in reality is relatively strong, these problems have been ignored."
"Now that I'm in Mewtwo and have a weak body, these flaws will be infinitely magnified, forcing me to find my own problems and correct them seriously."
"And... I've been playing "Embers of Desolation" recently, and it seems that there are indeed some changes. The changes every day are very subtle and not easy to feel, but after a long time, you can clearly feel it. It is very different from other Mewtwo..."
"I heard that Captain Chen She even made this Mewtwo part of the daily training of the resistance army."
"If that's the case..."
"Perhaps Captain Chen She's series of plans around "The Embers Are Going Out" really have profound implications? It's just that they were buried too deep, and I didn't have a correct attitude and didn't dig deep enough before, so I didn't discover it?"
As Li Yunhan moved forward and explored the entire world of Super Dream, his brain was working quickly and he fully associated Chen She's puzzle.
In fact, the complete version of Mewtwo only created the surrounding nomadic countries, Buddha Kingdom and other countries, and relatively completed some plots, but the tone remained unchanged.
Li Yunhan had played the trial version for a while before and had some guesses. Now, with the completion of the entire Mewtwo world, his guesses began to gradually ferment and converge into a complete interpretation.
"The embers are dying... the embers are dying..."
"According to Captain Chen She's explanation, embers are the state of being extinguished after the fuel is burned out, and the story does indeed depict a desperate situation."
"The Holy Fire burns the destiny of the world, and all the people in the world are the fuel of the Holy Fire."
"However, this situation doesn't seem to be entirely for the sake of immersion in the game plot. I always feel a little sympathetic..."
"If this theme is hinting at the current situation of the resistance, then it's very appropriate!"
Li Yunhan suddenly felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Other players would never think in this direction because they don’t know the true face of Lishan Technology. How could they think that the Mewtwo they are playing was developed by the Resistance?
But Li Yunhan himself is a rebel, so the more he plays, the more familiar he feels.
I always feel like this Chaomeng seems to be hinting at something...
In fact, it is not surprising that he had such an idea, because Chen She had originally planned to do so.
Chen She wanted to use the game "Embers Are Going Out" to make the rebels realize their current situation and that there is no possibility of success in violently resisting the big capitalists in the current way, so as to dispel their adventurous mentality as much as possible and save their own lives.
If you are not a rebel and have not been in this situation, you won’t have too many associations; but if you are a rebel, it is easy to combine Mewtwo with the real situation.
If Chen She's plan had been followed, Li Yunhan should have associated the tragic situation in "The Embers Are Going Out" with reality, felt as if he had been poured with cold water and had a sense of powerlessness.
In fact, this was indeed what Li Yunhan thought at the beginning.
“Based on the background of the story, “The Embers Are Going Out” seems to express a certain fatalistic pessimism. The luck of the entire world is about to be burned out, and there are knights from all over the world going to the imperial city to save the holy fire, but they all fall on the way.”
"The player plays a civilian with little combat ability. Only after defeating the chivalrous warrior 'The Dissuading Man' can he officially embark on the journey. But even so, there are powerful enemies all around, and the chance of success is very slim."
"Coupled with strong negative emotions, a weak body and powerful enemies, it is a comprehensive torture and discouragement for players, making them want to give up."
"But...Captain Chen She himself has never thought of giving up."
"Even in the most difficult times for the resistance, he was still like me, trying every possible way to keep the resistance going. According to his personality, this Mewtwo should be a spiritual encouragement."
"Did he secretly hide a story line or key clue in this Mewtwo that would rekindle players' hope?"
"Well, if we turn this Mewtwo upside down, we'll definitely find it!"
