Chapter 258: Stop hitting me. You can’t kill me like this.
Honghuang’s new game is about to be released!
Just when the players were arguing over the issue of cheats in "Ace Battlefield".
A breaking news.
Suddenly it spread quickly on the Internet.
The authentic battle royale game, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, will be officially launched on the 15th of this month!
When this news came out, all parties were shocked.
"Here it comes, Honghuang's new game is finally here!"
"Is Hong Huang really going to take action?"
"Battle Royale is authentic, what a domineering propaganda!"
"It's a good way to play, but it's a pity that it was ruined by the penguins."
"I don't know how the battle royale in the prehistoric world will be. I hope there won't be a lot of cheats when that happens."
"It's hard to say. Even the penguins have been treated like this. The human cost is too high."
"After playing for a few days, I feel like this is just the way to play it."
Thanks to the great reputation of "Ace Battlegrounds", many players now have a resistance to the battle royale.
In addition, I had set my expectations too high before, which led to the fact that when I actually started playing "Ace Battlefield", I found that it was not only time-consuming and laborious, but also not as fun to play as CF.
Now, because of the plug-in issue, their dissatisfaction has finally been ignited, and they have a very bad impression of the battle royale.
If the game made by Honghuang is similar to "Ace Battlefield", then there is really nothing to look forward to.
"Huh? Honghuang released another promotional CG?"
At this time, sharp-eyed players suddenly noticed that in addition to the game launch announcement, Honghuang also released a game CG.
This CG is different from the previous one. It was released directly in the form of an announcement and is only 5 minutes long.
It's the most common one.
For example, some game screen clips and high-energy moment summaries are basically of this length.
This discovery immediately made all the fans of the Honghuang game look strange.
"Oh my god! Honghuang has released a serious CG!"
"I just realized that this seems to be the first time that Honghuang has released a CG in such an 'ordinary' way?"
"It's so funny, it seems to be true."
"Has Honghuang changed his nature? Has he started to learn from other manufacturers to make serious CG?"
“It’s not easy.”
The players clicked on the CG with a smile, and the playback interface popped up.
As expected.
It is different from the CGs released by Honghuang in the past.
As soon as the screen opened, majestic music started playing.
Then, amid the sound of turbine engines, a series of black fighter planes swept across the sky, flipping forward over the clouds and leaving long tail flames.
Several material transport planes broke through the clouds and roared past. The rumbling sound of their engines made the entire screen shake.
The grand scene of rolling clouds and the powerful visual expression tension made all the players watching the CG excited.
Because through the clouds, they could vaguely see the poison gas below and the terrifying island located on the sea level, which was getting closer and closer as the team of fighter planes moved forward.
The scene then changed to a place in the center of the island.
Teams crawled forward and ran between various building shelters.
Some were fierce exchanges of fire, with explosions mixed with gunfire echoing in the ears, like a battlefield filled with smoke.
Player!
All of these characters are played by players!
In a tense atmosphere.
Many people recognized the teams that kept flashing on the screen, and they were all played by those 50 players.
At this time, they were wearing helmets and bulletproof vests, holding guns and grenades, and running around the island.
One of the teams was driving an off-road truck, fleeing for their lives as the poisonous gas spread rapidly behind them. Even through the screen, one could feel the urgency.
But at this moment.
All the survivors felt something and looked up at the sky.
In the sky filled with poisonous gas and fog, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out with unstoppable force and arrived over the island under the escort of a team of black fighter planes.
Immediately following.
The steel cable carrying the supplies came loose.
A red and blue sealed box slowly descended with a parachute and landed right on the plain in the center of the battle area where all the teams were fighting.
"Airdrop supplies!"
"It's actually airdropped supplies?"
"Fuck, is this a new way to play the game?"
"This angle is too tricky."
"If this existed in the game, and some rare supplies were stuffed into it, wouldn't there be a fight?"
"Hiss! A bunch of people are scrambling for the airdrop. It's exciting just thinking about it."
"This is a great idea. I wonder if Honghuang will be included in the game."
The emergence of new content has caused players to fall into heated discussion.
Although it was only a very brief scene of more than ten seconds, it made them imagine a lot and wonder whether this thing would appear in the game.
After all, apart from the plug-ins, the thing that Penguin's "Ace Battlefield" is most criticized for is the lack of interaction between players.
But it’s different when airdropped supplies appear, it will definitely attract a large number of players to scramble for them.
The scene was spectacular just thinking about it.
What a pity.
This CG is too short.
It was only until the airdrop landed and the survivors from all directions gathered together that the battle was over.
Accompanied by a gunshot that shattered the screen, the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" logo made a domineering appearance, and the CG screening ended.
This time.
The popularity of the new game Honghuang has finally exploded.
Just a few minutes of CG has sparked a wave of heated discussion.
Some people even began to analyze this new CG frame by frame, guessing the specific content of the new game.
Especially the airdrop gameplay, which is very likely to appear, has captured the hearts of every competitive player.
In fact.
Many of them still like the battle royale gameplay very much.
But the penguin is not a human being. In order to seize the opportunity, it brings up the semi-finished product.
By the time the optimization is completed and the plug-ins are cleared, the players will probably be disappointed.
The emergence of the new Honghuang game at this time is undoubtedly a stranglehold on the lifeblood of Penguin, ready to take advantage of its weakness and seize the players that Penguin has accumulated with great difficulty.
Once the game is launched and the quality is good.
On the contrary, it is possible that the results will exceed previous estimates.
But there are also huge risks.
Because the resentment in the players' hearts has accumulated deeply, if they are not careful, they may fall into an irretrievable situation.
This is undoubtedly a gamble!
Bet on the quality and reputation of your own games!
…
"Very good. I want to see how Hong Huang, who has praised himself so highly, will end up."
At the Penguin headquarters, Zeng Fuming's expression was uncertain.
Although he is not very capable, he is very clear.
Excessive expectations are sometimes not necessarily a good thing; instead, they may backfire.
Just the fact that there is intrusion from external plug-ins.
I guess Honghuang will have to drink a lot of water.
"Manager, aren't we going to take any action?" asked an employee nearby.
"No need." Zeng Fuming waved his hand. "Our current task is to optimize the game as soon as possible. We should not be too high-profile. We should wait and see for now. This is a good opportunity for Honghuang to help us divert our attention."
Now the whole internet is full of people scolding them for their ugly eating habits.
If he continues like this, his higher-ups will probably hold him accountable.
It would be better to wait until Honghuang is brought down before taking action, so that the lost reputation can be restored and the best of both worlds can be achieved.
You can say that.
The quality of the game Honghuang.
Determines the future direction of the shooting game category.
Whether Penguin will dominate the market or all flowers will bloom depends entirely on the actual performance of this game after it goes online!
…
…
In a blink of an eye.
The 15th arrives.
While players were counting the days, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a new game claiming to be an authentic battle royale, was finally officially launched.
For a time, major gaming media rushed to report on it.
All major live streaming platforms have also opened exclusive game channels and are recruiting new anchors for the Battle Royale section.
Many small anchors who are frustrated but have the dream of becoming famous have flocked to the new section.
Just like when "Ace Arena" first came out.
Even worse than that.
"Here it comes, the new game of Honghuang is finally coming."
"This is more exaggerated than the penguins, don't let it fail."
In the live broadcast room, Ouyang Xiao was waiting there early and was shocked by the exaggerated popularity of the new partition.
If this popularity fails, Honghuang will suffer a great loss.
As the propaganda officer of the prehistoric world (self-proclaimed), she certainly doesn't want to see that kind of scene. It would be best if she could defeat the penguin directly.
"It's good to have a car overturn. I want to see Honghuang's car overturn right now, hehe."
"Hong Huang: You bunch of unruly people are always trying to murder me!"
"That's impossible. Honghuang has been preparing for so long this time. At least it should be better than Penguin's half-finished product."
“Just a little bit? (laughs)”
"It's all a fuss. It's a conservative statement, don't you understand?"
"Be bold and become a god in one go!"
"It's a bit exaggerated to be called a god. I just hope there aren't so many cheats, otherwise it will really affect my mentality."
Players are feeling very complicated right now.
I hope that Honghuang’s game can be done well, but I’m also worried that my expectations are too high and I will be disappointed again in the end.
So many people are keeping a wait-and-see attitude.
Even the Honghuang employees themselves were not sure.
I’m afraid the game will crash when it goes online.
It’s true that they think the games they make are very good, but players have to buy into them, otherwise it will be useless no matter how much they brag about it.
fortunately.
This torturous process did not last long, and noon arrived as scheduled.
As the interface refreshes, a new game comes into view.
[Game: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battle Royale]
[Introduction: In this place called Devil's Island, who can survive to the end? Everything depends on the gun in your hand! ]
[Genre: Shooting, Battle Royale, Survival]
【Price: 98】
"Only 98? That's cheap."
Ouyang Xiao said in surprise and clicked to buy.
After entering the game, she quickly came to a character selection interface. Because the game had just been launched, there were not many costumes to choose from.
But the ability to create male and female characters as well as hairstyles really caught her attention. She quickly created a female character and came to the main interface of the game.
"Sure enough, this game is much more complete than Penguin. The graphics are more realistic, and you can freely choose between first-person and third-person perspectives. And there are actually three modes?"
Ouyang Xiao looked at the mode selection in the lower left corner.
[Single]
【Double】
【Four people】
This discovery immediately made her overjoyed.
Immediately click on the friend interface in the lower right corner and try to invite Xiaoqian who is online.
Unexpectedly, the invitation was successful and a male character appeared on her homepage.
"Huh? Can you really invite teammates? Is that you, Sister Xiaoxiao? Are you also playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?"
Xiaoqian's voice came from the team channel.
This made Ouyang Xiao extremely surprised and a little strange.
"It's me, it's me. Why did you create a male character?"
"Hehe, this will create a better contrast. What about Xun'er and the others? Do you want to invite them to join us?"
"I just called him, he said he's still having lunch, how about we try double row first?"
"OK, Sister Xiaoxiao will take me flying."
"That's a must."
I’m a western gunner who completed all the games in Red Dead Redemption, so shouldn’t it be easy for me to play this kind of game?
Without hesitation, Ouyang Xiao directly selected the double-row mode and clicked start.
Swish!
The scene changed.
The two came to a familiar abandoned square.
An airplane was parked at the edge, ready for boarding.
And at this time.
There were already over fifty players gathered in the square, jumping around all over the square, getting used to the game.
"Wow, the restoration is so high!"
"Ace Arena is a knockoff compared to this!"
"It is indeed much more detailed, and the surrounding scenery is more realistic. Honghuang is really impeccable in terms of quality."
“Just see how the optimization goes.”
"What are those guys doing? Are they fighting?"
Suddenly, the audience in the live broadcast room noticed that a group of players were gathered next to the plane and fighting each other wildly with their fists.
Ouyang Xiao tried it and found that he could attack other people or perform various actions even before the game started.
At this moment, a noisy sound rang in her ears through the headphones.
"Stop hitting me, you can't kill me like this!"
"Old mobile phones, selling mobile phones, stainless steel washbasins..."
"Hahahaha, there's actually a public voice channel. This game is ridiculous."
"Hey, can anyone hear me?"
"I can't laugh anymore. A bunch of people are fighting passionately here."
Voice channel!
This game actually has a public voice channel!
Hearing the constant stream of strange voices, Ouyang Xiao, his companions and the audience all laughed out loud.
It was so weird at the beginning.
The Honghuang game did not disappoint them.
