Chapter 366: There are no living legends in this night city
Cynd's concert.
It lasted until the late night.
The unprecedented novel sensation and the unique experience of attending a live concert at home have made many fans crazy.
Even though the concert is over.
They were all gathered together, discussing it with great interest.
"It's really great! My dream of going to a concert has come true!"
“Before, I always thought that virtual devices were the same as VR, which was used to play games and watch movies.”
"Yes, technology is developing so fast that even things like this can be realized."
"The main thing is that the tickets are cheap and there won't be scalpers."
"I really hope there will be more of them. It's not fun at all."
"I heard that this platform has a lot of casual games . Do you want to try it?"
While the fans were discussing excitedly, they logged out of the device according to the prompts on the interface, some of them felt a little unsatisfied.
Some people are attracted by the games on the virtual platform. They download some free games for trial play and successfully become the first players from fans.
And an important message.
On the morning after the concert, the news spread throughout the entire gaming community, shocking countless players.
"Honghuang actually made a new cyber-style game?"
"And you announced it at the concert?"
"Why the hell there was no news before!"
“This is hidden too deeply!”
Every time a new game is released by a major company, the entire gaming community will know about it quickly and it will spark a lot of discussion.
Honghuang’s new game is naturally no exception and it attracted widespread attention as soon as it was released.
Especially when the futuristic and technological game scenes and the gorgeous scenes at the concert were revealed, the players became even more excited.
Because compared with the wasteland intelligent mechanical style of other manufacturers, the game Honghuang seems to pay more attention to the construction of urban background, and it is a very grand future city.
Yes!
The technologically advanced yet extremely chaotic environment, and the bohemian and slightly wild style, undoubtedly had a huge impact on them.
It's like a baby living in a greenhouse.
It’s like suddenly arriving in the world of street urchins.
There is a wonderful feeling of breaking free from the shackles.
Just one corner.
They were attracted by the fancy stuff and started a heated discussion, guessing the background and gameplay of the game.
“Gaudy!”
The senior executives of several virtual platforms also soon learned the news and expressed disdain.
"Cyberpunk themes emphasize high technology and low life. How can a colorful urban background like Honghuang look like low life?"
"What players need now is a sense of contrast, where technology develops too fast and gets out of control, and ideas can't keep up, leading to a chaotic environment."
"It seems that Honghuang also has topics that it is not good at."
When the senior executives in charge of the project saw the video circulating online, they all laughed.
Although the sudden exposure of the new game from Honghuang surprised them a little, they are still very confident about their own game.
At least in terms of subject matter and gameplay, it can definitely meet the needs of most players.
"That's great. We can use this opportunity to promote it a bit more, and then we can officially release it. Let's make the arrangements."
After the meeting, several virtual platforms and a number of major manufacturers took action and began to promote their new games.
Just a few weeks.
There are no less than five new blockbuster games online, which once again attracted the attention of players.
Many players rushed to download the game for the cyberpunk gimmick, and the scene was extremely popular.
The most popular of them all.
It was Suoni’s new masterpiece, “Robot Walker”.
In the first week of its launch, it achieved sales of 2.6 million copies on virtual and PC terminals, almost catching up with its previous escort masterpiece.
This made Yoshida very happy.
The game was immediately promoted in various regions, gaining huge popularity. The sales of PS virtual devices also soared, making it the first platform to exceed 30 million.
I have to say that he does have some skills and background.
This also caused.
Other competitors have stepped up their efforts and spent money on advertising, fearing that they would fall behind.
As for Old Li, who was in the primitive world, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"What should we do, Mr. Chen? Our game will take at least a month to complete testing. If we continue like this, we'll be in trouble!"
Old Li paced back and forth in the team, occasionally looking at the various groups that were working hard.
Although their overall work efficiency has improved a lot now, it still takes time to make a game.
In addition, the content of this game is huge, so the progress is naturally slower than that of other manufacturers.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You're already a father, but you're still the same as before."
Old Song, who came with Chen Lin, complained.
When he went to celebrate the birthday of Lao Li’s child, this guy stood there holding the child with a confused look on his face. He knew that even after becoming a father, Lao Li probably wouldn’t be able to change his impatient temper.
My sister has suffered so much.
After taking care of the younger ones, you have to take care of the older ones.
"Okay, don't worry about the promotion. Just make the game as soon as possible."
Chen Lin waved his hand, his idea basically agreed with Lao Song's.
"Mr. Chen, do you have a solution?"
Old Li stopped and asked hurriedly.
"No."
Chen Lin spread his hands and said honestly, "I've been busy dealing with the virtual arena recently, so I don't have time to deal with these. I'll think of a solution when I get back."
He didn't say much.
After checking the production progress, he left the Dawn team and returned to the office.
I casually opened the official account and took a look, and found that it was full of various urgings to play the game.
One of them was even more outrageous. Instead of urging the game to be developed, it urged the CG to be developed.
＃Their game has been released, but you don't even have a promotional CG? Is this unreasonable? ＃
I clicked it and saw something amazing.
Comments: 999+
It was pushed directly to the homepage.
no way.
It’s because the pictures shown at the concert were so tempting that they greatly aroused the curiosity of the players.
But after that concert, Honghuang never revealed any news about the game, nor did it release CGs every few days like other manufacturers. It was as if it disappeared out of thin air.
But it made them feel so uncomfortable.
Even though they don't know what the game is like, they always have expectations for new games.
"Could it be that Honghuang postponed the launch of the game because they saw that Suoni and his team's new game performed so well?"
Someone speculated in the comment section.
This is also what many people think is the most likely reason.
After all, the sales of Soni's game are really good and it has the potential to reach tens of millions.
Even several other new games have performed well, with sales basically exceeding one million. It is only a matter of time before they reach five million.
Generally a more rational manufacturer.
Basically, they will avoid the edge of such a large number of masterpieces and choose to postpone the launch, otherwise they may end up with a bloody nose.
When Respawn Studios released "Titanfall 1", it almost failed because it was too stubborn, so they don't expect Honghuang to release a new game immediately, and just release a CG to satisfy their curiosity.
"Do you want CG so much? I'll satisfy you."
Chen Lin raised the corner of his mouth and directly called out the customization interface.
[The game body has been detected. Do you want to customize the exclusive CG? ]
"custom made!"
After saying this, he quickly operated on the interface, looking for film and television works suitable for CG.
Cyberpunk is a relatively unpopular genre.
There are not many film and television works that fit this description.
If CG is made with future science fiction themes and the unique cyber style is not reflected, it will eventually become an ordinary science fiction work with little promotional significance and weak relevance.
“Got it!”
Suddenly, Chen Lin's eyes fixed on an animation with a peculiar style.
Cyberpunk: Edgewalker
After taking a glance, Chen Lin finally showed a satisfied smile.
Then he worked quickly to customize two CGs for the virtual side and the PC side respectively.
After editing, send it directly to the account and ask the publicity and promotion department to do some promotion.
Deal with all of this.
Only then did he get up and leave the office to deal with other things.
…
"Huh? What is this?"
Soon, the players who were browsing the website noticed the message just sent by the official account of Honghuang.
＃The first CG of the first-person role-playing game "Cyberpunk 2077" was released. In this night city, there are no living legends! ＃
ah?
All the players who saw this message were frozen.
After confirming it again and again, he burst out laughing.
"Haha, the new game CG, I'm really urged to do it."
"Has Hong Huang finally been unable to withstand the pressure?"
"It's so funny, it seems so reluctant."
"Boss Honghuang: You're not going to stop urging me, are you?"
“So the name of the new game is 2077?”
"Okay, I'm finally willing to reveal more information. Let's see what fun CG has first."
Now many players have already started playing the games that were released earlier, so not many have noticed this CG.
With the mentality of having fun, they all clicked on the link and entered the playback page.
"Oh? It's ten episodes long?"
"It's not a serious CG after all."
“No wonder it took so long to release it, turns out he’s making an anime!”
Those who are familiar with the prehistoric world are no longer surprised by it.
With a smile on my face, I started watching directly from the first episode.
However, when the screen lit up and the sound of an electric guitar began, they were pleasantly surprised.
Because the opening scene in front of him was exactly the same as the setting of the previous concert, a luxurious city with tall buildings.
That is to say.
This anime also uses game scenes!
only.
As the camera zooms in.
They found that the person standing in the square was no longer the singer, but a tall figure covered in metal.
"Mechanical prosthesis!"
“It seems like even the eyes have been given prosthetics!”
“Isn’t this almost a robot?”
"Is the opening so explosive?"
“The BGM is also great, the rhythm is so strong.”
"I love this style of painting."
Different from other orthodox anime.
The CG of Honghuang basically uses red and blue, warm and cold tones, and the strong contrast gives the picture a psychedelic color.
Coupled with the shining lights everywhere in the city and the dynamic BGM, a fashionable urban game background is instantly outlined.
The anime begins.
It was a thrilling and fierce gun battle.
The big man, whose body had been transformed with mechanical prosthetics, wandered among the arresting teams under heavy gunfire.
Every part of the body can be transformed into a weapon to launch an attack, and enemies are defeated one after another gorgeously and easily, which makes everyone feel very excited.
Obviously.
This should be the gameplay that the big guys in the circle have analyzed before, which may be released in the new game of Honghuang, mechanical prosthetics!
This immediately piqued their interest.
Gradually immersed in the CG plot and pictures.
However.
As they continued to watch.
From the appearance of the male protagonist, to the dramatic changes in his life, to his mother's death and being forced to drop out of school, and finally joining the gang.
Their expressions began to change.
Yes.
This city is called Night City.
It's not as glamorous as they imagined.
Under the dazzling lights, it is filled with all kinds of unknown darkness and despair, like a steel cage.
They followed the male protagonist's perspective all the way, got to know gang members, met the people they liked, and carried out dangerous actions again and again.
And then to the end.
In order to save his partner, the male protagonist installed mechanical prosthetic limbs that far exceeded the limits of his body, became a "cyber madman" who lost himself, and was shot in the head.
Even Rebecca, the girl who had always liked him, died tragically in the final battle, leaving the heroine to fulfill her original promise and leave Night City to go to the moon.
Especially when I saw Rebecca, who I had always liked and silently supported the protagonist, die.
The players were blown away.
"Fuck! Is this a plot that a human could come up with?"
"Nima, a sudden knife."
"I was stunned by the knife. I am an idiot for clicking here!"
"I shouldn't have believed in Honghuang's CG!"
"I won't urge you anymore. Is that okay? Give Rebecca back to me!"
"Damn it, hurry up CG and bring out a big knife. You and I will never coexist!"
Right now.
They finally understood.
What does Hong Huang mean by "there are no living legends in Night City"...
