Chapter 300: One CG, Two Worlds
“It’s really a primitive time!”
"The ultimate escort masterpiece is actually Honghuang?"
“What game is Minecraft?”
“Is it the same series as World of Warcraft?”
"I haven't heard that Honghuang has any new games in development."
There was a commotion at the scene, and the live broadcast room was full of discussions.
They really didn't expect that after breaking up with the previous Escort, Juying would choose Honghuang to fill the position.
Although Honghuang has been very strong and popular in recent years, it is only limited to the domestic market and has only recently begun to expand its overseas business.
In terms of global influence, there are not many established manufacturers that are stronger than them, unless Honghuang can come up with another game of the level of "Red Dead Redemption"!
But even for Red Dead Redemption, it took nearly a year to develop, and it mobilized everyone in the world to make it with all their strength.
Games of this level are hard to come by.
"Honghuang Studio, this really surprises me."
Neon Country, the headquarters of Ren Tiandi.
A man holding a red wine glass stood by the window, listening to the live broadcast on the computer.
"What's the problem, President Furukawa?"
A company executive nearby asked doubtfully.
"It's okay." Gu Chuan raised his hand slightly, "It's just very unexpected that they chose to cooperate with Honghuang. This is a very magical studio."
"Should we take action then?"
"No need. In such a short time, even if it is the Great Desolation, it will not pose a threat to us. You can go down first."
"yes!"
The senior executive responded and turned to leave.
Only Furukawa was left in the room, gazing at the night view outside the window while listening to the live broadcast with a confident smile on his face.
And at this time.
The heat at the press conference has reached its climax.
After briefly introducing Honghuang Studio, Tang Jun took a deep breath and slowly said, "Just as I said just now, our flagship game for the third-generation console is a sandbox-type creative exploration game."
“Different from the exquisite graphics in the past, we chose the pixel style as the main theme this time. I believe it will give you a different experience. Please take a look.”
After saying that, he pressed the control button in his hand to switch the screen.
But the audience below and the comments in the live broadcast room were all going crazy.
Sandbox game?
Pixel style?
Are you sure it wasn't a slip of the tongue?
However.
Before they could think about it, the screen lit up again.
A pixel-style game cover appeared on it, reflecting the regretful expressions of the audience.
"What the funk!?"
An audience member sitting in the front row suddenly cursed.
Doubts like a tsunami instantly swept through the entire venue and even the domestic live broadcast room.
"That's it?"
"I waited all night just to see this?"
"You told me that Escort Masterpiece is a pixel game?"
"Could it be that the extremely tough senior executives have lost their minds?"
"Even if time is short, you can't be so perfunctory!"
"With this kind of sincerity, I'd be a jerk if I bought the third-generation console!"
All the players were excited.
Originally they stayed up late to watch the live broadcast just to see what the Escort masterpiece is, but they ended up being given a pixel game. Who can tolerate this?
And it wouldn't be a pixel game, it could have been launched like any other ordinary game, but it chose to replace the escort masterpiece, making their original expectations dashed.
This strong contrast instantly ignited their anger and they started cursing.
"Shit! I knew this wouldn't work."
Backstage at the scene, other responsible persons looked grim. The reaction on the scene was more intense than they had imagined.
When Tang Jun proposed to use this game as an escort, they strongly opposed it.
But Tang Jun overruled all objections and used his own position as a guarantee, allowing the headquarters to suppress them by force.
No matter how unhappy they are.
I can only watch.
"Once the sales results of the third-generation console come out, I must go to the headquarters to request the removal of Tang Jun!"
"I want to go too! How can a pixel game beat the other two? It's not even as good as the one I recommended!"
Several people said angrily, their eyes seemed to be spitting fire when they saw Tang Jun, and they wanted to go up and snatch the microphone from his hand.
However.
But at this moment.
The audience was suddenly in an uproar and stood up from their seats.
The original curses also disappeared, replaced by looks of surprise and doubt.
There were several pictures playing on the screen.
People abroad may not think it's a big deal, but people in China are extremely excited.
"Forbidden City! This is the Forbidden City!"
"And the Great Wall and the Corner Tower!"
“A building made of pixel blocks?”
“How is this done?”
That’s right!
What is playing on the screen at this moment.
It was the architectural model that Chen Lin arranged for people to make.
Although it was just a small role, the audience still felt very excited to see their own culture being promoted overseas.
Finally realized it.
The game Honghuang is different from others.
Because it really looks so similar!
If the camera hadn't zoomed in, they wouldn't have known that the building was made up of stacked square blocks.
With just a few inconspicuous blocks, they restored the buildings they were familiar with, turning decay into magic.
It’s the first time too.
Experience the wonderful experience of pixel magnification.
Only then did Tang Jun on the stage secretly breathe a sigh of relief and smile again:
"I believe everyone has seen that this is one of the main features of our game, pixel creation!"
"Looking at all the movies, TV shows and games, have you noticed that no matter what object is magnified, the edges will have jagged edges?"
"That's actually a kind of pixel, but their pixels are much smaller, so small that they can't be seen by the naked eye, so there is no sense of fluctuation, just like the distant view you just saw."
"What if we magnify these pixels countless times? What will it become? Can we stack these blocks representing pixel units into everything we want?"
Oh shit!
Is it possible?
The audience was shocked.
The comments in the live broadcast room were shocking.
Those who were barking and cursing just now stopped and started to examine the game seriously.
although.
It seems that it is not as good as the masterpieces of the other two.
But they have to admit that this alone has already aroused their considerable interest and they want to try it out.
"Enlarge the pixels. Is this the new concept game launched by Honghuang?"
"It looks quite interesting . We can try it out when the time comes."
"Interesting, architecture ecstasy! Civil engineering ecstasy!"
"Buy it. You must buy these three generations of consoles! Construction games are my favorite."
"That's not right. I remember you just said that buying the third generation is a dog."
“…Woof woof woof!”
"I'm such a man!"
Barrages of comments kept floating across the live broadcast room, and the audience sat back in their seats, whispering to each other.
Tang Jun on the stage also knows that it is useless to just watch whether a game is fun or not, you have to play it yourself to know.
But at least, he got through the most difficult beginning.
Thinking back to the scolding just now, he couldn't help but break into a sweat.
If this press conference goes wrong, there's no telling how headquarters will deal with him. I'm afraid it won't be much better than Carter's.
So he didn't waste any more time and continued to introduce other contents of "Minecraft", trying to leave a good impression on the players.
…
The entire press conference lasted for two hours.
It was almost 4 a.m. when it finally came to an end.
The extremely sleepy players could not bear it any longer and turned off the live broadcast and went to sleep amid a barrage of good night messages.
The news of the announcement of the huge hard-core escort masterpiece also swept the entire domestic gaming circle at a very fast speed.
"Are you sure? Juying's escort partner this time is Honghuang?!"
"What are they thinking? With so many international companies, why don't they choose Honghuang?"
"Hiss! It's actually a pixel game. Are all the top executives of the company crazy?"
All major manufacturers were shocked and extremely surprised by this result.
They had considered many big companies, but they never expected it to be Honghuang Studio, and the pixel game that shocked everyone.
You know.
This time, Nintendo has brought out its own flagship IP, the Mario sequel!
No matter how badly Super Hard is performing, it would not dream of competing with a pixel game.
Isn't this clearly giving up the console market?
Players were also discussing the matter, speculating on what Honghuang was going to do this time with Juying.
Not to mention Ouyang Xiao, who had just started the live broadcast, his expression was as weird as it could be.
"I...actually guessed it right?"
"Is this really the prehistoric era?"
She looked at the message that just appeared and said in astonishment.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was also very lively.
"Well, it turns out you knew the inside story a long time ago."
"Host, have you known this for a long time?"
"That expression doesn't look fake."
"Is your mouth blessed?"
"Host, please tell me that I passed the postgraduate entrance examination this year!"
“Please bless me to make a fortune this year!”
"I want a girlfriend!"
"I'm making a wish here early in the morning."
I have to say that this huge press conference really exceeded the expectations of all players.
This made the already hot topic rush to the homepages of various platforms, attracting the attention of countless players.
They don't understand.
With Honghuang's strength, it is obvious that they can produce a higher quality game, so why did they choose pixels as the theme?
It’s not that they look down on pixels, there are even many excellent works in the pixel style.
But as a flagship masterpiece for the new console, it is not good enough to compete with the other two. Even players who like prehistoric games are keeping a wait-and-see attitude.
Until a video announcement appeared under Honghuang's account.
#One CG, two worlds. #
Just like the previous release of Sword Art Online, the title only used a simple sentence, and there was a video that looked like a game promotional CG at the bottom.
The players who saw this couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Needless to say.
Honghuang must be doing something again.
And the shorter the title, the bigger the whole thing will be.
They want to see what tricks Honghuang is playing this time.
“This cover looks like the promotional CG for Minecraft.”
In the live broadcast room, Ouyang Xiao also received the news of the Honghuang announcement at the first time.
Out of curiosity, she clicked on the video.
The first thing that catches your eye is a canyon, which is indeed made in pixel style.
But the next second.
The narration voice sounded .
They couldn't hold it anymore.
[As the conflict between the Alliance and the Horde intensified, the two sides became irreconcilable and gradually embarked on a path of confrontation. ]
[The army gathered in Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley, and launched a fierce battle...]
Listening to the familiar narration.
All the players were in a daze.
I am so...
They actually used the style of Minecraft to make a new version of World of Warcraft promotional video? ?
