"After the preparations made by the previous two colleagues, I think everyone can guess what will happen this time."
E-sports festival scene. Zhong Xiu appears on the screen.
Compared with Zhu Nianqiao, he has another different style.
Although he is less than thirty years old now.
But very calm and sophisticated.
"Yes, a new surprise."
Zhong Xiu smiled, gave the answer, and at the same time said: "You may still remember that Linmu Studio produced a rather special game...a game based on the element of sword and halberd combat.
A complete game.
In that game, there is a bizarre world filled with monsters. Nameless adventurers are blessed and reborn every time they die, constantly challenging invincible opponents..."
Zhong Xiu hasn't finished speaking yet.
In the field.
Huge cheers broke out.
If "Super Mario: Odyssey" is a new game, players are only familiar with the image of Mario, and overall it is not well-known.
"Dark Soul" can be regarded as a "special" work among all Linmu Studio's game series.
The popularity is too high!!!
Who is playing without saying a word - Lin Yao is heartbroken!!
The difficulty of the game itself was completely out of tune with the mainstream games at the time.
While everyone is pursuing a sense of exhilaration in games, Linmu Studio itself is actively promoting the progress of the times.
Suddenly he shot back...
"Dark Soul" was directly moved to dual platforms.
In addition, "The Legend of Zelda" was in the limelight at that time, and a man who called himself Uncle Lin broke the news and threw all the players into the trap...
This has led countless players to embrace the idea of experiencing an open world and an adult version of "The Legend of Zelda" in this game.
Then... I was taught how to behave by a big ass at the beginning.
On the day the game was released, the major player communities were filled with grief.
Lin Yao is delighted to be known as "Dark"...
The subsequent development of this game is even more outrageous.
Many players initially complained about the difficulty of this game, but they only complained quickly.
Highly difficult games bring a different kind of coolness...
Players gain experience from repeated failures, and then gain a huge sense of accomplishment when they win against difficult enemies...
This sense of accomplishment is difficult to give in other games. Many players are addicted.
Countless players turned into TikTok.
This has caused the game's popularity to spread again and again, attracting a large wave of players.
It became the most successful, but also the most unusual game of the year.
Even until now.
It has been a long time since the game was released and there are still a lot of players in the game, developing alternative gameplay methods such as parkour and flash kills.
It is conceivable how much players of this game like this type of game.
Even if they have never played it, the audience at the scene must have heard of this game.
It would be strange not to cheer!
on the screen.
When Zhong Xiu recorded the video, he seemed to have guessed that the players would be cheering.
He paused deliberately.
Then after the players' cheers subsided a little, he continued: "Yes, that game is "Dark Soul"! I want to talk to you about the story of the birth of this game... You
Do you know? When Lin Yao proposed this project, the key words he gave were - pain and suffering."
"To be honest, I thought these two keywords were referring to the plot at first. After roughly reading the planning document, my idea did not change. It was not until we officially entered the preparation stage that I realized how wrong I was."
"Pain and suffering...this is about the players. In the early stages of development, when I sorted out the entire game and Lin Yao's thoughts, I saw the malicious design, complex maps, and extremely high difficulty...
...It was really shocking.”
"Don't tell me that you don't understand. When I tested it myself, I didn't even understand the meaning of such a high level of difficulty. I was beaten until I yelled at you."
"At one point I even thought that this game would definitely fail..."
"But in the end, you may not believe it, but I was the first player to clear the game, and I'm still addicted!"
Zhong Xiu scratched his head and smiled again: "Although I still scolded my mother when I was playing, while making it, as a player, I went to the game to experience the unique art style and unique atmosphere formed under the leadership of Lin Yao. It was really
Very happy.
Of course, I'm not happy that I can make you suffer...but I simply think that the game is great!
This reminds me of old games from the past... It doesn’t mean that old games are necessarily good. The development of the times is inevitable. As a producer, I have a clear understanding of this."
"But one thing I have to admit is that the rapid development of the industry has indeed wiped out the original intentions of many game producers, including myself."
“Or to be more precise, let’s base the goal of making games on getting players to spend money, and do whatever we can to retain players as soon as the game starts.
"Of course this is a good thing to a certain extent, as it allows more players to experience the charm of the game, but on the other hand... if the games were all like this, it would be boring, wouldn't it?
A classical game that doesn't even have a big map and relies entirely on player exploration, with equal information between monsters and players. It's not that the game character has become stronger, but that the gaming experience has made me stronger... It's also great, no
?"
"So when Lin Yao said he wanted to make a sequel to "Dark Souls"... I agreed without even thinking about it."
Zhong Xiu straightened up and sat upright on his chair: "And for this sequel, Lin Yao's keyword is - a strange and magnificent journey!"
"The bell has sounded! Wake up! Everyone! It's time to spread the fire!"
Zhong Xiu clapped his hands and showed a bright smile.
Then do the same as the previous colleagues.
Raise your right hand and pull it sharply from the edge of the screen to the other side.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is like the prologue.
disappeared from the screen.
Only the last sentence was left.
"At the end of the first generation of "Dark Souls", in front of Gwen's initial furnace door, everything there was covered with a layer of white, but it was not snow but ashes. From the beginning of the world, the Gwen burned to the end.
The ashes of King Wen, the ashes of the furnace, and the ashes of all the Black Knights.
And among the ashes, there is a golden light that shines like the sun..."
"..."
The moment Zhong Xiu finished speaking.
The screen then went dark.
then.
The name "Dark Souls II".
Slowly emerged, frozen in the center of the screen.
But the players' performance... is very real.
"Get out! Don't pass it!!!" I heard Zhong Xiu's words.
See the game name appear.
It was just a few players at first, and then the entire venue was led and shouted the same sentence...
Immediately afterwards, a lot of laughter broke out again.
this moment.
The player completed a void interaction with Zhong Xiu and Lin Yao.
but.
Wait until the promotional video is officially broadcast.
The players immediately became quiet.
Because the iconic background music of "Dark Soul", full of sacred charm, sounded.
The Linmu Studio logo appeared on the screen.
Appear briefly.
Then slowly disappeared.
then.
The Ring of Darkness from the previous game.
appeared in the center of the screen.
Fire glowed around the edge of the ring of darkness.
The low narration at the beginning of the first generation game sounded again.
At the same time, as the narration sounded.
The flames on the ring of darkness began to gradually dim...
【Yes, they did it.】
[As they talk about human niches.]
【The flame went out.】
【And the king...has not yet been crowned.】
Familiar, puzzling words.
then.
The ring of darkness gradually disappeared from the screen, and the royal city appeared in its place.
The background music suddenly became louder.
The screen began to switch quickly...the ancient dragon straddling the city wall.
The walking undead.
A strange nun patrolling the dark dungeon.
Like a pilgrimage, mummies dressed in red robes line up.
...it’s right!
The player's first impression when seeing this is that it feels right.
When the fire went out, all kinds of cows, horses, ghosts and monsters came out...
Doomsday scenes can be seen everywhere.
This is Dark Souls!
And when a knight in heavy armor appeared on the screen, he raised the red dagger in his hand and inserted it into the ashes.
Lean down.
When you light a bonfire and let your whole body be in close contact with the rising flames.
It makes more sense!
This is the Immortal!
only......
The second half of the promotional video is a bit off.
The second half is mainly composed of various battle scenes.
Mummy Sword Master.
A knight holding a shield and a one-handed sword.
Compared to the previous work.
Their movements are smoother, and they look faster and more pressing.
But some things are still the same.
For example, hidden in the shadows, a huge skull with a crown appears under the light of candles, Bordo is as big as a beast, and the dancer wearing a scarf appears at the end...
These behemoths are paired with background music with strong religious meaning.
Full of mythical meaning and dark colors.
The dancer wearing a gauze waved the magic sword that breathed flames, spinning like a dance, and struck the knight opposite her with one sword after another.
Suppressing the opponent until he has no chance to counterattack.
at last.
She grabbed the knight with one hand, threw it in the air, then raised the magic sword with the other hand, and stabbed the knight through with one sword. The flames on the magic sword instantly rose up, wrapping the knight's entire body in it.
It fully explains what a sense of oppression is!
Really...so handsome!
Although they are enemies.
【"Dark Souls II" (DarkSoulsII)】
At the end of the promotional video, the game name appears.
Followed by the release date and the time of the meeting tomorrow.
“OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
auditorium.
The background music full of strong religious connotations in the promotional video still has a lingering aftertaste. Players who were still saying "Go away, don't pass on" just now saw the scene of the execution of the boss dancer and the appearance of the game name "Dark Souls 2".
He cheered again in a disreputable manner.
It was louder than just shouting "Go away, don't pass".
"..."
Kou Hong sat in his seat, looked up at the screen, and suddenly gave a wry smile.
Another game with a completely different style...
Realistic modern warfare, cartoon-style action adventure, and medieval action role-playing full of strong mythology and dark colors
It really doesn't fit anywhere.
He found that he... still underestimated Lin Yao.
He originally said that Lin Yao was suitable for film and television work...but now it seems that she is suitable for any job!
That's outrageous...
at the same time.
Backstage.
Lin Yao stood in front of the screen and saw the announcement of the last game tonight and received enthusiastic feedback.
He breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
Feel relieved.
"Very good."
Lin Yao turned around and sat back on the chair, then turned the chair to face the conference table, put the warm burden on the table, lay down, stretched out her hands, and stretched hard.
His face was full of happiness.
...
The opening ceremony of the E-Sports Festival came to a perfect conclusion.
This evening, in addition to the wonderful opening ceremony performance.
There are four opening games in total, and they are equally exciting.
And there are three gaps during the rest period.
All are Linmu Studio’s own game advertisements.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Dark Souls 2"!
The combination of competitions and new game advertisements is... unexpectedly good!
Players all night long.
Except for the end of the project, I was in a state of excitement at other times.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere created by Linmu Studio.
Inextricable.
Really great!!!
And obviously.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The opening ceremony tonight left a deep impression on the players, and the related topics cannot disappear just because it is over.
That night.
Although the opening ceremony is over, it is already very late.
But there are still a large number of viewers who watch the live broadcast or are present at the scene, and they flock to the forums and game groups.
[Great! Really great!! I knew it after watching the opening ceremony! Linmu Studio will not disappoint tonight! Sure enough! The short film is a surprise! The subsequent games are even more surprises! 】
[After watching the short film, I finally understand why Linmu Studio has risen... They are really good! To be honest, after watching the short film, I want to join Linmu Studio. I feel that in
It will definitely be great to work inside!】
[Ahhh... I thought I wouldn’t see any new games from Linmu Studio this year! I didn’t expect! Three of them came directly to the opening ceremony! Good guys! I call them good guys!]
[But this is not the end! That short film, that box logo, definitely contains more than three games! Come and analyze it, what else is inside! I want to know what other treasures Linmu Studio hides! 】
[Players who didn’t go to the scene really lost their blood! The atmosphere at the scene was really amazing. I just watched the live broadcast of the opening ceremony performance. It was really a completely different experience than going to the scene. 】
[You think we don’t want to go to the venue! We can’t get tickets! But there’s one thing to say, even if it’s a live broadcast, you can still feel that the music and performance are really good! It will probably be more exciting if you go to the venue! 】
[Good guy, I watched it all and found that the producer really sticks to Lin Yao! Everything is related to her...]
[Lin Yao committed a heinous crime! But please let the gaming industry have more Lin Yao who committed a heinous crime!]
【......】
Some players are still venting their excitement.
And some players have already begun to analyze it.
During live and live broadcasts, everyone is focused on the competition and new games and has no time.
But it's different now.
In that short film, Lin Yao gave a lot of hints.
In the end, many staff put things into the box, although they were all strange.
But most of them are related.
So very quickly.
Many players have found models representing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Dark Souls 2" through replays.
At the same time, analysis of other as-yet-undisclosed items begins.
But some models are okay, but for some new works, it's really hard to guess what they are. I can only watch the short video over and over again, trying to find some clues.
At the same time, the box in Linmu Studio's short film also has an official name - Lin Yao's Treasure Box!
Some players began to analyze what else was in the box through the clues in the short film, hoping to see what else was hidden in Lin Yao's treasure box.
And other players have begun to discuss the new game now revealed.
Start discussing the gameplay of two sequels and a new game.
There are also some players discussing tonight's game.
Plus players who frantically vent their excitement.
It directly made the major player communities and groups discussing the game extremely lively, and even seemed a bit chaotic...
but.
Although there is no common topic.
But he
They are discussing the same thing—Linmu E-Sports Festival!
exploded.
The heat is really explosive.
and.
As the opening ceremony ends.
It's not just the player community that's been involved.
on social media.
[Music for the opening ceremony of Linmu Studio]
This topic also quickly appeared on the hot list.
Although this opening ceremony, two of the songs have appeared before.
But after being unable to withstand the changes in form, the live performance was really great.
The first song was "eillRkYou" by Queen. The contestants and the audience sang together for this song. The moment they sang together, everyone got goosebumps after listening to it.
As for the second song "LegendsNeverDie", as long as they have the ability to empathize, it will be difficult for viewers who have watched any game to resist.
As for the third song "Open the Sky", although it is also an old song, this combination of classical instruments kicks off the entire short film, which is really exciting.
The performance effects and stage effects really killed a blockbuster party.
The topic of "Linmu Studio Opening Ceremony Music" has once again appeared in the eyes of many people who do not pay attention to e-sports events or even games.
I saw that at least 30% of the audience was overseas, and I saw the warm atmosphere at the scene.
Somewhat funny.
It also made some people crusade against the current singer...
No matter what game companies are, they are more advanced than the new generation of singers...
This exposure and discussion.
The Linmu E-Sports Festival...has become the hottest topic.
Then.
Probably because there are indeed many overseas audiences, and the live audience is so enthusiastic...the satisfaction and excitement are visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, many authoritative media also reported this incident through the recently emerged social media news accounts.
[Congratulations! Just now, the opening ceremony of the Linmu Esports Festival held by Linmu Network Technology Co., Ltd. came to a perfect conclusion.
In addition to the exciting opening ceremony and events, three sequels to popular overseas games were also announced.
It is reported that the opening ceremony attracted nearly 20,000 overseas spectators to watch the game, and the atmosphere was warm! [Picture][Picture][Picture]]
This short news release from the most authoritative media.
Directly forwarded many times.
Even the overseas accounts of authoritative media posted similar posts.
The heat has increased further...
After all, the Linmu E-Sports Festival does attract a lot of overseas audiences every year. The Linmu Carnival in the first half of the year was also well received and attracted a lot of overseas audiences.
In addition, their games are selling well overseas.
Based on emotion and reason.
It is appropriate to show your face to Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao herself has no feelings about this. She is indeed keen sometimes, but she is still young after all.
But when peers like Tianhu Li Guangsheng saw such news, they were so envious that they almost broke their teeth with envy...
This is too obvious.
The development of Linmu Studio in recent years, as well as their ability to attract money overseas, is obvious to everyone.
Now is really the right time.
It was him instead.
He will also set up such a company as a benchmark for cultural products to go overseas...
But envy is of no use.
He can't change anything.
If he could hold such an event and the game could be exported overseas to earn foreign exchange, then he could still try to play tricks with Linmu Studio, but the problem was that he couldn't.
Then there's really nothing to say.
tonight.
Linmu Studio and Linmu Esports really stole the show.
And it's predictable.
There may be another opportunity to shine tomorrow.
on the forum.
The congratulations from authoritative media have also become one of the topics of discussion among players.
However, they only shouted a few words, "Linmu Studio" is awesome. After all, they are players, so just a few words are enough.
Mutually
Compared to these trivial matters.
What they are more concerned about is still events, games, Lin Yao's treasure chest...
One o'clock.
Partying for such a long time.
Some players went to rest.
After all, there is a competition tomorrow!
There will also be a meeting for new games in the early morning.
You may even see Lin Yao’s treasure chest!
It’s time to recharge your batteries!
but.
There are also players who didn't sleep.
And they discussed it after the opening ceremony of this year’s Linmu Esports Festival.
Finally, let’s talk about the Global Game Awards...
After all, the Global Game Awards will be held tomorrow morning.
[When the Global Game Awards was held, Linmu Studio’s new game held a meet and greet at the same time, hehehe... [Funny]]
Such a post appeared on the homepage.
Then the replies under the post quickly ushered in explosive growth.
"Hehehe... I thought Linmu Studio was just out of spite, but now it seems they were well prepared."
"I wonder what the players will choose tomorrow...hehehe."
“Is it even necessary to think about the live broadcast of this year’s Linmu E-Sports Festival? [Funny]”
"I think the organizer of the Global Game Awards should be regretting it now... It would have been nice to have Linmu Studio broadcast the video live. It's over now. The other party is taking advantage of the popularity of the e-sports festival to compete in the arena.
