'OHHHHHHHH——!!!'
'Fuck, so handsome!'
'Is this a phase shift?'
'Anderson thinks it's great'
'Is this Anderson's bracelet technology or Ash's phase teleportation?'
'Case solved, it's Anderson and Ash's daughter (funny)'
'Ghost marriage???'
'It's too outrageous for me to comment'
'Guessing can be down-to-earth, but please don't be down-to-earth'
"I asked you to bring a character back to life, not to bring a dead character back to life..."
'The game format looks like a battle royale'
"A three-man team battle royale?"
"That should be the case, but it seems like everyone has skills. I'm not sure, let's wait and see..."
As the audience discussed enthusiastically, the evil spirit girl in the promotional video also ended her reminiscences and shrugged her shoulders.
Pointing to the silo shining with golden light:
"This is mine."
"But hurry up, you,"
Illusion pushed the evil spirit girl and said teasingly with a smile:
"If it weren't for me, you would still be lying on the ground..."
It turned out that five minutes ago——
Under the Japanese signboard of the huge factory, a tall black woman with curly hair and a mercenary look was holding a rifle and pointing it at the seriously injured evil spirit girl who had fallen to the ground:
"Is there something wrong with your weapon? Or is there something wrong with you?"
Talking about it!
The female mercenary is about to pull the trigger!
And at this critical moment!
The phantom's coquettish voice sounded: "Let's see who is here?"
The female mercenary turned around and looked!
She saw an illusion rushing straight towards her with a huge revolver in his hand!
The female mercenary sneered: "Seeking death..."
Bang!
The bullet shot out with great force, hitting the illusion's forehead accurately!
And the next second!
The illusion suddenly vanished into thin air and turned into a ball of light!
The female mercenary's pupils suddenly shrank, but before she could adjust the muzzle of the gun!
Snap!
The revolver stretched out beside her and hit her head!
The illusion's voice was still relaxed and coquettish: "Sorry ma'am, did I make you dizzy?"
BANG!!!
“What the hell! ! ! ! ”
The audience was even more excited!
'This is the Phantom Pilot skill from the TTF trailer!'
"This skill is so cool, damn..."
"So all of these people participating in the APEX Invitational are Pilots?!"
"I don't think so. These legends seem to have mastered one or two Pilot skills to a certain extent. Their overall strength should not be as strong as that of the Pilot."
"So this is... a Pilot Trials?"
"Hey buddy, this is a competition organized by Sam the thief. Have you forgotten what faction Sam belongs to?"
"Oh - shit! So our previous guesses were all correct! This is the competition where the old thief selects the top hunter!"
"Then the Battle Royale makes sense! The old thief really looks like someone who can raise Gu!"
'It's bad! I'm a villain now! (dog head)'
“Hahahahahahaha…”
A cry of joy!
In the trailer, the arguing evil spirit and illusion were interrupted by a robot named Pathfinder:
"But, I think that with this 10-kill record, this reward should belong to me (ω)."
Hearing this, the evil spirit and the illusion turned to look at the pathfinder, with strange expressions on their faces:
"You..." "You are just bragging..."
Just now——!
In the vast canyon, under the magnificent waterfall!
In the hail of bullets, illusions and evil spirits are severely suppressed by the enemy team. The situation is urgent!
And at this moment, we saw the waterfall behind the enemy team!
The Pathfinder followed the swing of the hook and rushed out of the turbulent waterfall!
On the display screen on his chest, there was a fanatical and angry expression——ψ(*｀ー)ψ
Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! --!!!
Gunshots rang out!
The terror robot is like a Rambo version of Tarzan, flying in the air with a heavy machine gun in hand, spitting flames from the machine gun, and wiping out the enemy team in the blink of an eye!
"Game over! Thanks for playing!()"
Pathfinder's recollection ended, and he raised his mechanical arm:
"Want a high five?"
Ah this...
The Vision looked at the Pathfinder, then at the Wraith.
The three of them looked at each other, then turned their gaze to the silo that was flashing golden light.
It is obvious that they supported each other along the way and showed their unique abilities. No one could have arrived here without the efforts of each one.
So, to whom should this golden treasure be allocated?
However!
Just when the three were still hesitating!
[Run... There's a grenade...]
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the evil spirit's mind!
The evil spirit's pupils suddenly shrank, and a void portal opened behind him instantly.
Then the evil spirit didn't hesitate at all, leaned back and plunged directly into the portal!
And at the moment the portal closed, a grenade fell at the feet of the confused Illusion and Pathfinder!
boom--!!!
A huge explosion sounded, and thick smoke billowed out of the cabin. The power of the explosion was so great that ripples appeared on the surface of the lake next to the cabin!
Amidst the billowing smoke!
Another team of three people walked into the wooden house!
The leader was broad-shouldered and fat, with thick armor, and his voice was arrogant and rough: "Oh, hoo, hoo! Team Tiger won again!"
The young girl holding a submachine gun on her left hand curled her lips and said, "Poor creatures."
On the right side is the crow mask that was just "killed" by Pathfinder: "They died with honor."
However!
Just as the three were about to step forward to check out the golden treasure!
The evil spirit that escaped through the portal in the bushes not far from the cabin raised a sniper rifle with three muzzles in his hand.
BANG!!!
The screen went black!!!
The old man in the bar, with gray hair but still strong and robust, spoke again:
[In my opinion, this is an extreme sport]
[Find your opponent, kill your opponent, and then become the opponent of more people]
They Kill You, They Are Great
[You kill them, you are better]
Talking about it!
The old man pulled the dagger out of the newspaper!
The camera pans up following the dagger——
[After all, that’s how the team is…]
As soon as these words came out!
Everyone held their breath!
Although! They have already guessed the true face of this old man!
But when the truth is about to appear before our eyes, everyone can't help but feel excited!
even!
Sister Zhou had already put down her lunch box, clenched her fists, and waited for the man to appear!
Snap!
The dagger is sheathed!
A face full of wrinkles, but still majestic and fierce, appeared in front of everyone in the form of a close-up!
It was the boss of the senior version of the Top Hunter Mercenary Group, the founder of the APEX Invitational Tournament, who had personally handed out invitation cards to them in the original game.
Sam! Gu Sheng!
Take a sip of the clear yellow wine!
The elderly Gu Sheng raised his glass towards the camera, as if to say to all the players:
[We either win together or die together, right? ]
After saying that! Gu Sheng reached into his arms!
A familiar card flew towards the screen and transformed into a blood-red flag, with the white name of the game fluttering in the wind.
APEX Lengeds
“F---!!!”
Seeing this scene, Sister Zhou jumped up directly from the gaming chair!
He grabbed his head with both hands and screamed continuously!
Exploded!
The live broadcast room exploded on the spot!
'Hou - courtesy - crab -! ! ! '
"Fuck!!! You old thief!!!"
'Oh my god, this promo is so fucking awesome!'
'My scalp is tingling!'
'ohhhhhhh——'
"He understands it so well! He understands it so well! The old thief really understands it so well!"
"Fuck, I want to play! Can't I play, Dad? If I don't play when you make a promotional video like this, am I still a human being?"
'Now you've really become a thief!'
"Damn it - I almost cried when I saw the old version of the old thief."
"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, I'm numb, I'm really numb..."
All the players who are looking forward to the promotional video, collectively GC at this moment!
The familiar yet novel feeling made their scalps tingle.
The nostalgia of TTF and the brand-new design of its derivative works instantly plunged the entire gaming community into a carnival!
…
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
"Oh my god - he really knows how to provoke the players!"
“It’s simply a carnival for TTF players!”
at the same time!
In the online conference room of the editorial department of "Tiantianyou News"!
Editor-in-chief Xu Xiaolin let out a series of exclamations!
In fact, logically speaking, an editor-in-chief of his level is so knowledgeable and should not behave so inappropriately in a group meeting!
But what can be done? Gu Sheng's method of mobilizing players' emotions is just too clever!
It made him so excited that he could hardly contain himself!
certainly!
The other editors-in-charge were not overly surprised by the editor-in-chief's emotions.
Because after watching the promotional video, their exclamations were no less than Xu Xiaolin's!
"Too awesome! Even when the market is collectively predicting a downturn, they still choose to do a battle royale!"
“This is an attempt to surpass myself…”
"Or in other words, we will continue to dominate the new generation of motion sensing cabin market!"
"Indeed, the battle royale market of the previous generation of motion sensing pods has been basically completely occupied by PUBG. It is estimated that APEX will dominate the battle royale market of this generation of motion sensing pods."
"It's too brutal. It makes the previous Special Operations game from Guangyao Games look like a clown..."
“Hahahahaha, a silent slap in the face is the most deadly”
"Indeed, if this APEX explodes, Guangyao will become a complete clown."
"We couldn't beat them in the previous generation of the market, so we wanted to seize the market in this generation of motion sensing cabins, but we were defeated by Golden Wind again."
"If APEX explodes, Golden Wind's throne as the 'King of Battle Royale' will be firmly established."
"Both generations of the somatosensory cabin battle royale were created by them. Wow, what an achievement..."
"I think APEX is safe. What do you think, Boss Xu?"
I said?
Hearing this, Xu Xiaolin grinned:
"What else can I say? The situation is already before us..."
"This time, no manufacturer in the entire Chinese game market released a game at the same time as APEX,"
"I shouldn't have said this, but in this situation, this is the only more accurate description—"
"In today's market environment, APEX can still be successful even if the protagonist is replaced by Spec Ops..."
Xu Xiaolin is indeed a veteran.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the editorial department nodded repeatedly.
Yes.
Perhaps it was because Golden Wind’s achievements along the way were too dazzling.
Or maybe the name of Titanfall is too terrifying.
When APEX announced its release date, a vacuum appeared in the entire shooting game market.
Without competitors, APEX is the only one standing out on the stage!
However!
Just when he got to this point, Xu Xiaolin suddenly changed the subject!
"But this time, Gu Sheng also came with the mentality of surpassing himself,"
"It's clear from the trailer that they've added the element of 'skills' to this battle royale,"
"this……"
Speaking of this.
Xu Xiaolin smacked his lips, his attitude a little ambiguous.
"The spirit of innovation is commendable, but whether it will succeed... is hard to say,"
"When I first saw the skills in the trailer, I thought of the game called "Smite of the Gods" many years ago..."
hiss--
At this point, everyone in the editorial department took a deep breath.
The Saga of the Gods back then left a deep impression on the gaming community.
The first-person perspective MOBA game setting has amazed countless people.
But what is the final result?
He was defeated and died suddenly.
Today, the setting of APEX seems to be similar to that of Smite.
So this time.
What will be its fate?
Everyone in the editorial department was thinking silently, wondering how to report on the game APEX.
Indeed!
The quality of this trailer is very good, and the settings of the shooting game and skills seem to fit well.
But don't forget.
This is just a promotional video.
The promotional video for Smite of the Gods was also extremely exciting!
Play as a god from a first-person perspective, unleash skills, slay opponents, and capture high ground!
It's also very exciting!
What's the result?
" So, everyone,"
Xu Xiaolin said:
"In this report, I suggest that we should not make too absolute judgments and blindly exaggerate APEX just because of TTF's amazing performance,"
"Everything will have to wait until the game is actually released and you can experience it before making any judgments,"
"After all, this game, in addition to the uncertainty of the 'FPS + skills' setting,"
"Their in-app purchase charging model is still a mystery,"
"According to Golden Wind, their in-app purchase model is 'completely green' and 'absolutely respects players' and 'ensures that the game is absolutely fair',"
"Excuse my weak imagination, but I really can't imagine how a game's in-app purchases can ensure that the game is absolutely fair,"
"After all, the most conscientious in-app purchase model in the free-to-play market today is the League of Legends,"
“Skins have certain values ​​attached to them, and the attributes attached are the same regardless of the rarity of the skin.”
Speaking of this.
I heard an editor say:
"Then Boss Xu, do you think it is possible for Golden Wind to completely abandon 'attribute selling' this time?"
"Just making skins, like Left 4 Dead's creative workshop?"
Tsk—
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a smacking of lips in the online conference room.
Even a veteran like Xu Xiaolin couldn't help but hesitate.
"This... I can't make a judgment..."
Xu Xiaolin tells the truth:
"If APEX is produced by Xun Teng, then this idea is absolutely impossible."
"But the golden wind..."
Xu Xiaolin couldn't say for sure.
He really couldn't tell.
After all, Golden Wind’s traditional style has always been “the chief director dares to think, and the company president dares to act.”
Maybe this time, they can really come up with something as cool as 'only selling skins, without adding attributes'!
But in this case, the number of zero-paying players will definitely become very large, so how can they ensure profitability?
"at this point……"
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaolin shook his head and smiled:
"I can't guess it. I can't guess it either."
That’s it!
Clapped his hands.
"Okay everyone, we've finished watching the trailer, and we've basically finished talking about everything we need to talk about,"
"There are many advantages, but there are also many doubts,"
"Now, please write reports about APEX with your comments and questions."
"Whether this game is successful or not is up to Golden Wind,"
"But whether we can seize the biggest hotspot in the gaming industry right now depends on our ability!"
"Pick up your pens!"
“Get moving!”
Buzz——
Following Xu Xiaolin's order.
The editorial department of Tiantianyou News started working and began writing analysis and reports on APEX overnight, determined to seize this wave of popularity.
At the same time, other gaming media also started to take action.
No one wants to fall behind.
For a time, analysis and speculation about APEX were flying all over the gaming circle!
