Chapter 514: The mystery is solved! Go tell Aunt Rhody!
Why?
Why--?
Why--!!!
The moment I saw the message!
Yingshu’s whole body froze!
Then, it was as if he saw a god descending, his eyes lit up, his mouth opened into an O shape, and he pointed at the screen repeatedly!
"This...is this...the official trailer for Golden Wind?"
Follow the prompts and click to jump to the official homepage of Golden Wind.
As expected.
Under the identical tweet is a video of about two and a half minutes !
Without a doubt!
This is the second trailer of "Phantom of the Village", and it is also the official trailer of the new game Golden Wind!
Players who are familiar with the long-lasting feud between Golden Wind and Konami know about it.
Whenever the two appear at the same exhibition!
If Golden Wind intends to face the enemy head-on, it will have a head-on confrontation with Konami!
Then they will definitely try their best to catch up with Konami's promotional schedule, take the initiative, and declare war openly!
We will never miss the peak promotion period!
Obviously!
The same happens this time!
Konami just released the official promotional video!
The official promotional video of Golden Wind came out right after!
what does that mean?
This means that Golden Wind still regards Konami as its biggest rival at this Tokyo Game Festival, without a doubt, and has made sufficient preparations to put an end to the four-year feud between the two!
after all!
Everyone knows it!
The current golden age is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer a piece of fish on the chopping board for anyone to chop and eat!
They have the most advanced technology in the world and have already surpassed Konami in terms of industrial level!
The two sides have exchanged situations!
Oh no! Not a swap!
Because theoretically speaking, Konami’s current situation is even worse than the Golden Wind back then!
What kind of company was Golden Wind back then?
Small workshop, small scale and low industrial level.
To put it bluntly, the main point of Golden Wind's fight against Konami back then was that a barefoot person is not afraid of those wearing shoes.
They have a tolerance for error, and a high tolerance for error.
After all, who would demand that a small workshop that had just been established and was at a disadvantage in all aspects must defeat the giant that dominated the Eastern gaming circle?
Besides, Golden Wind has not been listed yet. It earns its own money and spends it on its own. It has no parent company and does not have to look at the faces of investors.
Do whatever you want. If you lose, just start over.
The golden wind of that year could afford to lose.
But Konami is different!
As we all know!
It can almost be said that Konami has fallen into its current situation because it was beaten into this state by Golden Wind!
Starting from "Outlast" vs. "Silent Hill 1", all of Konami's major masterpieces at international exhibitions ended in failure!
Changes in the president and board of directors!
There were three large-scale layoffs within the company!
Although the foundation accumulated over decades can still support the company, it will not fall into the storm like a dream.
But whether it is the pressure conveyed by its parent company Vivendi or the negative impact brought about by the sharp decline in external market confidence, Konami has been miserable and exhausted.
Even before this confrontation began, many financial media analyzed that -
With this reversal of the situation, Konami's tolerance for error has been reduced to the lowest level.
If it fails again, Konami will most likely fall into a long slump in the secondary market and become a discarded child in the game technology sector.
It was subsequently replaced by other old-established game groups that have been developing well in recent years, such as "Aurora Games" and "Farfox", as well as emerging medium and large game groups such as "Rage Games" and "MOSS Youke".
In short, it is -
[The Eastern Overlord has fallen, and will never rise again]
However, judging from the previous situation, Konami's bold pursuit of change seems to have just encountered the "inflated arrogance" of Golden Wind. "Silent Hill: Ascension" directed by Masakazu Nakamura seems to have the momentum to save the collapsing building and turn the tide.
However!
At this most critical moment!
After being silent for two months since the release of its first trailer, Golden Wind has chosen to take the initiative again, targeting "Silent Hill: Ascension"!
Why?
Like many other players, Yingshu also has a hundred question marks in his mind at this moment!
It's the same thing in public opinion.
Where does Golden Wind get the confidence to launch such a targeted publicity and promotion attack on Silent Hill: Ascension?
For a moment, the entire live broadcast room was in an uproar.
And in the midst of this rhythm that is taking off suddenly!
Yingshu also slowly clicked on this "Official Trailer of "Village Phantom""——
…
[Once upon a time]
A little girl and her mother picking berries for their hard-working father
[But the forest is cold and silent, and the bushes are empty...]
It is still that sweet and gentle female voice, and it is still the beginning of the dark fairy tale.
In the dark screen, the woman's voice is delicate and warm, making people feel as if they are sitting by the fire, squinting their eyes and listening to a goodnight story before going to bed.
However, this opening, which was exactly the same as the first trailer, left Yingshu confused for a while:
What's going on? Is it the same as the previous trailer? Is Golden Wind just...re-releasing the old trailer?
However!
Before Yingshu could even answer his question!
Rustle...
A rustling sound was heard.
A faint and tiny light appeared in the dark picture .
In the pitch-black night, heavy snow covered the path through the dense forest.
The sound of snow crunching could be heard. A man holding a weak flashlight walked forward with difficulty among the dry and dark branches, stepping on the white snow that was deep enough to cover his ankles.
“Hiss—whoosh—whoosh—”
The slightly trembling breathing rose and fell slightly, and the white breath floated in the silent night.
The woman's voice continued in this cold winter night:
[The naughty girl was determined to find berries, so she broke free from her mother's hand and ran deep into the jungle]
[She runs through the woods and through the vines]
[The mother's panicked cry fades away]
[And the girl was gradually swallowed up by the dark jungle...]
In a trance.
The man walking through the snow seemed to see memories of the past by the fire.
Under the dim and warm light, a woman in a floral dress was sitting on the sofa in front of the fire, holding a fairy tale book and telling this story.
"Isn't this story... too dark?"
A man's voice sounded in the memory.
The woman in the memory smiled softly:
"It's just a local legend. Don't be so nervous..."
Wait a minute?!
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Yingshu's heart skipped a beat!
At this moment, there was also shock in the live broadcast room——!
"No? Huh? Is this the village phantom?"
'Whaaaaaaaaat——?'
'I really like what a Golden Wind player said:'
'ah???'
"Is this... a real-life shoot? Don't tell me this is CG, right?"
"Wait a minute? What the hell is wrong? Didn't we agree on a dark fairy tale? Why are you suddenly using this level of realistic rendering?"
"Fuck - why do I feel like I've been tricked?"
'Ward hair... So the first CG is just a scene from my wife's fairy tale book???'
"Fuck! You can even cheat like that?"
"Why does my wife's back look familiar to me...?"
"That voice seems familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it before..."
"Hiss——something's wrong! There's something seriously wrong with this official trailer! Why do I feel like GW prepared something big? ! "
"Oh my god, I have goosebumps..."
"……"
For a moment!
The entire live broadcast room was filled with astonishment and uproar!
Were you fooled?!
Without a doubt!
If Golden Wind had not changed its mind midway, then the official trailer they are seeing now would be the official trailer for this new golden work!
That is to say!
The "Dark Fairy Tale" that has been discussed by the media and players for two months is just a "trailer of a trailer"!
That's just a dark fairy tale told by my wife!
This is not what Golden Wind really wants to do at all!
And right now!
As the man gradually walked through the dark jungle!
In the gloomy dusk, a lifeless village covered with snow appeared at the end of the dense forest!
A ghost suddenly flashed past the window.
A rotting and diseased bull head on the road.
A gloomy castle stands in the distance under the heavy snow.
A weird and twisted puppet in a dark room.
Strange bubbles were surging in the filthy dark green wastewater lake.
In the huge factory, dull, dark figures were mass-produced.
Then, an old woman's face with wrinkles all over it and a frail appearance appeared, hidden under a strange cloak!
All the sounds in the entire promotional video suddenly became silent!
Yingshu was already holding his breath.
And the strange hissing sound of the violin came the next moment, like the cry of a night falcon in the blink of an eye -!
【Go tell Aunt Rhody！】
【Go tell Aunt Rhody！】
【Go tell Aunt Rhody！】
【That everybody's——】
【DEAD……】
boom--!!!
Next moment!
Then a loud whistling sound was heard in the live broadcast room!
"OHHHHHHHHHHH——!!!"
Yingshu jumped up from the spot and flew up from the chair!
Crazy!
As a player, he couldn't be more familiar with this weird and thrilling theme song!
And at this moment, the live broadcast room also exploded instantly!
Everyone knows what this theme song means!
now!
Everyone just realized that the work Golden Wind prepared for the Tokyo Game Festival was not a "dark fairy tale" at all!
But——!!!
'resident Evil!!!'
'Resident Evil is back!!!'
The live broadcast room was in an uproar!
good!
This theme song is the theme song of "Resident Evil 7" which was very popular at that time and made countless players shudder!
This is Golden Wind’s first global horror game IP!
As soon as Resident Evil 7 was launched, it exploded the somatosensory game circle of that year with its unique first-person perspective immersion and the unique sense of horror of Golden Wind, with unparalleled momentum!
And now!
The "Resident Evil" series is back!
The terrifying title also appeared at the end of the trailer!
now!
The mystery was revealed, and the world was shocked!
Resident Evil VIII: Village
【Golden Wind】
【Grand Offer】
