Chapter 212 Next Era Games(1/2)
A high-level anchor whose ID is called "Gang Gun King" specializes in playing "PUBG". Because he likes Gang Gun, and his skills are really good, he is also good at talking dirty, and he interacts well with water friends, so he has A group of loyal fans.
He is also one of the top game anchors of Baby Shark.
The high anchor signing fee, coupled with the occasional sales of snacks, peripherals and the like, also allowed him to directly achieve financial freedom.
Moreover, he is also very smart. After Yaya was found guilty of evading tax, he immediately made up all the taxes and was not affected by the aftermath.
Today, he did not come up directly to play "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". Instead, he laughed and showed a qualification to the screen, a qualification for the closed beta test of "Star World".
"Dang~dang~dang~ everyone, look what this is? I have been qualified for the closed beta test of "Star World"!"
After seeing what he showed off, the netizens below were in an uproar, and the barrage was almost maxed out.
"Did you make a mistake? Last time you said you were going to jump off the building just for fun?"
"I thought you could persist until the closed beta and then compete for a spot, but I didn't expect that you would just give in to the closed beta."
"'Gang Gun King', where is your backbone? Where is your persistence?"
"..."
In the face of all these doubts, the ‘King of Gang Guns’ was very convincing.
"Shut up! I said before that I won't play it unless I have the qualifications for the closed beta test. Of course I will play it if I have it. Besides, I am the anchor of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". I believe in the strength of World Company."
After seeing that he couldn't hold it back, he added
"Just tell me whether you want to watch it or not. The beta will start in twenty minutes. I have downloaded the game in advance."
"look!"
There were many people who made fun of him before, but when he asked if he wanted to watch it, his answers were always neat.
In fact, at this time, many netizens have already gone to the qualified live broadcast rooms in the World Department, just to see if this "Star World" is just an illusion.
So does the ‘Red Queen’ AI deserve its reputation?
Many games are highly praised and have high expectations when they are promoted, but when they are actually released, they are speechless and find that "this is it"?
Many of the descriptions in the promotion of "Starry Sky World" are regarded as very exaggerated.
Completely open world, complete freedom, super large map, NPC AI, interaction of NPC forces, full sandbox of resources, etc.
No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like false propaganda to defraud money.
However, precisely because the game is developed by a world company with a series of legendary products and reputation that the world has always had, players are still looking forward to it and are willing to give it a chance.
Even if the promotion is a bit exaggerated, as long as it can achieve some of the effects, it is considered a top-notch game!
Moreover, starry sky-themed games already have a sufficient audience, especially EVE players. Now that EVE is a game that has been around for a long time, there is a situation where there is not enough fresh blood and players are being lost.
Once the number of people in this kind of sandbox game drops, the playability will quickly decrease.
It’s common to sit there for hours and end up chatting.
It's just that many of the more extreme players in EVE are still criticizing "Star World" for taking advantage of EVE's popularity.
Many people also directly posted videos on TT to criticize, and TT generously gave these players traffic!
""Star World" will be in closed beta soon, and we will know what the situation will be. I admit that World Company's own technology is very strong, and it may be able to develop a game that surpasses EVE, but it cannot be used. Such an exaggerated stunt, I will broadcast the start of the game live."
Then this EVE player named Baozi opened a live broadcast room on Xiaopo Station, and then clicked into the live broadcast room of Baby Shark's "Gang Gun King" in the live broadcast room.
It left many people speechless.
"Brother, it turns out you are not qualified for the closed beta test?"
"Damn it, is there still such an operation?"
"I'm done studying. Let me start a live broadcast. I'll join in and explain it by the way."
"..."
It also has to be said that many anchors who have not obtained the qualifications for closed beta still rely on this casual method. Anyway, others are playing the game, so they themselves act as commentators.
As the time comes, the closed beta test of "Star World" officially begins!
As players with closed beta testing qualifications, they must have pre-downloaded the game.
However, even with the data compression capabilities of world companies, the size of a game of hundreds of gigabytes is still too large for this era.
"Hey, dear, I remember that "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was only a few G, and it had so many functions and detailed maps. Why is it so big?"
"Damn it, I just downloaded it. I didn't expect it to be so big. Fortunately, the hard drive is big enough."
"Huh, it's a good thing that the optimization level of World Company is not bad, otherwise I would doubt that my computer would be able to carry it."
"..."
As the game started and I clicked to enter, a new box popped up!
The game also has some secondary auxiliary download packages. Please reserve enough space. The auxiliary download packages may affect some career functions, but background downloads will not affect the game.
"And there are auxiliary download packages? What the hell is this?"
As soon as the 'Gang Gun King' finished speaking, the game title of "Star World" began to appear on the screen in front of him. The title was just a figure wearing power armor squatting on the ground in the desert, stretching out his fingers and staining them with a ball of green goo.
Thick mucus.
The texture of gravel, the weathered feel of wear on the power armor, and the sticky details of the mucus are all included.
Then the next moment, the desert surged, and bugs emerged from it one after another, and began to exchange fire with the power armor side.
At this time, many messages appeared on the barrage.
"Isn't it a starry sky theme? Why does it feel like an MMORPG?"
"Yes, but the picture is really exciting!"
"It reminds me of the original opening of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and the BGM is so exciting! It's a new song!"
"Temo listens to Master Yi's songs every day, but almost forgets that he is also a great musician!"
“The picture is super exciting.”
"Already interested in the game!"
The barrage was well received, but for Baozi, he immediately grabbed Hua Dian and counterattacked.
"Everyone, I admit that the title sequence is good-looking, but it doesn't live up to the propaganda."
When the battle between the two sides was at its hottest, with all kinds of mechanical gunfire, ammunition, armor, and Zerg explosions, the cruelty was just revealed.
The next moment, the camera began to zoom up, and the battlefield screen began to shrink. As the clouds gradually appeared, the sci-fi fighter plane that crashed with thick smoke began to fall. You can see a group of bat-like bugs spitting acid on the fighter plane.
liquid.
The camera continued to zoom up, showing a landing cabin that was breaking through the atmosphere and glowing with fire. Satellites flashed by, and a fleet of air superiority aircraft began to appear one by one. Then, in suborbital space, a gorgeous battleship full of mechanical beauty and full of details began to appear.
Appear.
It made Baozi shut up temporarily.
The model and details of this magnificent battleship in front of you far exceed the EVE pictures!
"This is just a promotional video, it's different, but I have to admit that the details of this battleship are really well done..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the camera was still zooming out, and it was soon discovered that the mighty battleship just stopped in orbit was completely his younger brother!
In comparison, a large number of warships that were several times, more than ten times, dozens of times, hundreds of times larger than that battleship were parked in the starry sky. Every time the comparison was expanded, it attracted a burst of exclamation!
Then the main gun of a flagship charged up and bombarded the mother nest that was constantly swallowing the Zerg like a small star in the starry sky!
At the same time, language narration also started under the BGM.
The omnic crisis, the Zerg, and the division of the human race themselves are the background of "Star World".
The opening screen keeps jumping, showing space stations, space cities, mining areas, buildings on the planet, space elevators, etc., all of which are top-notch movie-level images.
From the war-torn area, we slowly came to a relatively peaceful area, and then to the hinterland of the human race, and then the opening screen and the characters seamlessly switched.
If it weren't for the sudden addition of the menu bar and the character portrait in the upper left corner, I wouldn't even know that the game has started!
After the 'Gang Gun King' tentatively walked around and found out that it was true, it instantly detonated the entire live broadcast room!
"Fuck!"
"Kneel down!"
"What kind of graphics card does this need?"
"What kind of optimization is this?"
"What the hell! Can't we all experience the scenes that just flashed by ourselves?"
"Continue quickly, where is the guidance?"
Later, as the novice guide appeared, everyone discovered the identity and background of Gun King. He was a veteran whose consciousness went awry when uploading his consciousness. The error in uploading his consciousness caused his memory to be severely affected, and all his skills were erased and whitewashed.
Because I was affected by the upload error, I have now been approved to retire and live a normal life.
All the enhanced abilities and skills on the body are lost, and only some personal information is vaguely remembered.
Then began to register various "recalled" information.
To be continued...
