Xu Xuanye's expectations obviously did not come true.
Even though the mobile games on Jiaming League have been booming recently.
But the residual power of the Forest Carnival still exists.
If it were normal, traditional players might still pay attention.
But during this time, "Dark Souls 2" was just announced for release.
In this case, who cares about mobile games?
Although, there are not as many players who like Souls games as there are FPS players like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
but.
One of the characteristics of soul games is that if you don’t like playing it, watching others suffer... that is also very interesting.
Highly difficult games will bring excellent program effects to the live broadcast.
The reality is similar.
In addition, Linmu Studio was also working very hard on promotion and development during this period. The previous game was also famous for the Uncle Lin incident, its extremely high difficulty, and its endless malice.
So as soon as the game is released.
The heat is extremely high.
Players who play this traditional game or not are happy to discuss this game.
certainly.
For people who don't play games, it's mainly for fun.
However, when they came into contact with the community, players were all discussing the same game. Every day they could see the unique dark style of "Dark Souls 2", the bosses of different shapes and their gorgeous performances, and
It fits the image of a 'fireproof girl' very well.
If you say you're not moved, that's a lie...
Originally, once people enter a group, they are easily influenced.
The more people discuss "Dark Souls 2", the more people choose to fall into the trap, and then the cycle starts.
Although, it is true that some players misjudged their own abilities. After buying the game, they were directly educated by Guda and chose to refund on the spot.
But there are also more players who really get into it.
The main reason is that compared to the previous game, "Dark Souls 2" has really made a qualitative leap in all aspects, such as the combat feel, and because each weapon has combat skills added, the combat performance is also higher than the previous game.
It’s ornamental, not to mention other features such as campfire teleportation across the map.
The game has evolved in all aspects, with the addition of the elemental gray bottle, the rise of the Master... Various changes have slightly lowered the threshold of the game, making it the easiest soul-based game to get started.
However, it retains the most attractive core of the "Dark Souls" series. Coupled with the popularity of the previous game, it is really difficult not to become popular.
And for old players.
This sequel is also satisfying.
No matter how the external environment changes.
The game hasn't changed much.
The art style and fragmented narrative are in the same vein.
The combat aspect has indeed been greatly improved.
But it’s more in line with the aesthetics.
This is very surprising.
Nowadays, the external game environment is turbulent, and the 3A masterpiece that impressed everyone the most was last year’s “Call of Duty”.
All game companies are making mobile games.
You can still play such a masterpiece.
The players are really satisfied...
…
Wang Ang was almost hunted down by players all over the Internet because of the Uncle Lin incident.
I entered the game as soon as "Dark Souls 2" was released.
The first game of Dark Souls almost made him die, but it also successfully dragged him into the pit of Souls-based games.
He has played the previous game for more than 300 hours.
So when he opened "Dark Souls 2", he felt like he had returned home...
Everything looks familiar.
The meaning is unclear but it just feels like a cool CG.
He pinched his face inexplicably.
A gloomy picture.
Have you seen random teaching?
A monster that can be wiped out with two swords.
Other players blindly commented on Kiel's command.
A sudden boss session...
"Fuck! Another delayed slash!"
Wang Ang was killed by Guda's sword and resurrected with a curse.
But I can't even hide the happiness on my face.
There's bad news.
This game feels exactly like its predecessor.
But the good news is, this game is exactly like its predecessor!
Everything is a familiar recipe.
Wang Ang thought with some emotion, then ran back to Guda, who was now known as the novice persuader, triggered the battle again, relied on the roll of justice, and skillfully killed him with a knife.
When Guda turned into white light and disappeared.
A message like [heir of fire destroyed] appears.
Everything seems to be back to before.
Wang Ang looked at the screen and inexplicably thought of his experience as an uncle. After smiling softly, he suddenly felt excited and said loudly: "Okay, I will not die for the next time! Complete the level!"
certainly……
His agitated mood could not last long.
soon.
"Hehehe, Fireproof Girl, I am willing to die for you..."
There was a strange sound in Wang Ang's room...
Players... really can't figure it out.
but.
The game is really popular.
There is no doubt about this.
And the discussion level is much higher than that of mobile games, much higher.
Xu Xuanye was not the first to discover this, nor was he the last.
These traditional players, no matter how hyped up mobile games are, still prefer traditional games to mobile games.
They will still be excited about stand-alone games and discuss them excitedly.
This is really not possible in mobile games currently.
This actually made many colleagues at Linmu Studio calm down a little.
Finally, we have broken away from the illusion that the current mobile game market of Jiaming Alliance is booming.
Mainly because it's too scary.
It’s not just the ‘game circle’, the latest fan base for Linmu Studios games, everyone is discussing “Dark Souls 2”.
Other player communities are not much better.
Moreover, their discussions were not limited to one point, but blossomed in all directions.
The plot, gameplay, numerical values, boss fighting methods, and even the female character Fireproof...
These are all topics discussed by players.
There is really no mobile game that can achieve this kind of grand occasion.
Linmu Studio’s mobile games can’t do this.
This has caused many colleagues who have gradually become arrogant and feel that they have figured out the future game market to calm down again.
certainly.
Most of my colleagues don't care.
I think traditional games are traditional games.
Mobile games are mobile games.
For example, Xu Xuanle lost interest in the post after he figured out what ‘Gan Lin Niang’s Guda’ was.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Don’t pay too much attention.
Then I checked the next post.
Post about the opening of future s1 offline store.
What he is concerned about is that opening these twelve offline stores together will not have any impact on his mobile game company.
After all, Future S1 has not done much during this period, and it seems that it is not very concerned about the rise of the Jiaming Alliance.
Now it is suddenly announced that offline stores will be opened, and twelve stores will be opened at the same time, which is indeed worthy of attention.
but.
No matter which aspect Xu Xuanye considered, he couldn't think of the impact this would have on him...
So soon, he shook his head and closed the post without thinking about it carefully.
the other side.
Within the Jiaming Alliance, Yu Tianbo, the leader of Tianyu Mobile Phones who can be considered the leader, also saw this news.
But he is different from Xu Xuanye.
Ever since he saw the news, he had been frowning.
He was vaguely worried, always feeling that something was wrong and that he had to do something.
But he couldn't figure out what was wrong, what he should do, and where the uneasiness in his heart came from.
It was as if some thoughts were vaguely captured, but they were fleeting.
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.
So the final result is that he did nothing...
On the other hand, "Dark Souls 2" was released, and it was a huge hit in the traditional game circle, and its popularity was off the charts.
Not only has it become the number one best-seller in various countries and regions.
It has also become a popular choice for live broadcasts by anchors in various countries and regions.
On the other side, the mobile games of the Jiaming Alliance are constantly being launched. Those who moved quickly in the early stage have made the first pot of gold. This in turn stimulates the latecomers, making them more and more aggressive in defrauding krypton. Users
I am also becoming more and more resistant to mobile games... and there are complaints.
And time just like this... slowly came to Friday.
this day.
Pengcheng, Nanshan.
Within YouMei, the directly-operated store numbered 1 has officially opened!
This store is located in the best prime location of Nanshan District.
In fact, many people noticed it during the construction stage.
Mainly because the transparent glass is too conspicuous.
but.
At that time, not many passers-by guessed that this was a mobile phone store.
After all, most current mobile phone stores are not like this. Mobile phone display does not require a large space or such huge glass.
so.
Until the opening day
Many people know that this is the future s1 mobile phone direct store that has been in the limelight recently!
And this store, how can I put it... is really unforgettable.
There is no traditional closed space of ordinary stores.
The first thing that catches the eye is the open space made of large areas of glass.
The large, fully tempered glass facade replaces the wall, but is not obtrusive. The overall style is completely integrated with the entire building, giving it a special minimalist aesthetic.
And looking inside through the glass, there are no familiar display windows.
Instead, there are long open tables lined up side by side.
It's clear at a glance.
This special structure is really attractive.
so.
As soon as the store opened, many people walked in one after another.
And after walking in, the impression is also very special.
The layout of the directly operated store is very spacious, leaving a lot of blank space and aisles.
There is almost no obstruction to the line of sight.
You can almost see the entire store from the door.
The overall lighter color of the interior is also very modern.
This kind of open design is really impressive, and it is in sharp contrast to the crowded and messy shelves and narrow aisles of ordinary mass stores and digital malls.
There are no humanoid billboards.
There are no cool colored light strips.
There are no promotional discounts.
There are no glass cabinets either.
In short, it's very clean.
Coupled with reasonable zoning, the experience is excellent.
In fact, many people walked in simply out of curiosity and what was on sale inside.
When they walked in, they were even more surprised to find that they were selling mobile phones.
It’s a mobile phone?
Can a mobile phone store still be like this?
Pengcheng's directly-operated stores open at ten o'clock.
noon.
The flow of people has reached a terrifying level.
but.
The real peak flow of people has not yet arrived...
That night.
It's past seven o'clock.
Cheng Lin finished his day's work and took advantage of his rare free time to go shopping with his girlfriend.
Then.
No surprise.
When the two of them walked to Pengnan Avenue, they were immediately attracted by the conspicuous future s1 direct-sale store.
"what is that?"
The second Cheng Lin's girlfriend came into view at the direct-operated store, he stopped and was very curious.
"I don't know...eh? Isn't that future?"
Cheng Lin looked up and was about to shake his head when he saw the future logo and the conversation immediately changed.
"Future? That mobile phone?"
His girlfriend turned her head and reacted after being stunned for a moment.
Cheng Lin nodded and replied: "Yes, I originally wanted to buy it after watching the press conference...but the initial order and delivery was too slow, and Tianyu's mobile phone can also play mobile games later, so I gave up.
"
When his girlfriend heard this, she wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfied: "The mobile games on your phone are not fun at all, and everything costs money."
"..."
Cheng Lin was a little angry when he talked about this: "How did I know there would be so many messy things? There weren't any in the beginning! Now it feels more and more messy, and I don't even want to play any games anymore.
Mobile phone manufacturers don’t care. I heard that the future s1 won’t be like this, but I haven’t used it.”
"Then why don't you go in and take a look?"
His girlfriend looked at the crowded store and made a suggestion.
"OK."
Cheng Lin almost didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
Because he was also quite interested. Although the press conference was very tempting, he had never really gotten started.
He also wants to know how different the mobile phone he is using is from the future s1.
The two of them walked together towards the Future Direct Store.
As soon as you get closer.
The impression is even more shocking.
The main thing is that the large fully tempered glass facade is really eye-catching and makes people feel clear at a glance.
You can really see what's going on inside from the outside.
Cheng Lin walked into the store with his girlfriend.
many people.
Really a lot.
But the interior will not be too crowded, mainly because there is a lot of blank space, enough to accommodate many people.
After walking in, Cheng Lin discovered more details. The light above his head was not dazzling and was very soft. The floor was specially made in gray, and the table material was made of wood, and the height remained the same.
All wires and cables have special slots to lead underground. There is no mess on the table. The only focus is the mobile phone.
I don't know how other people feel.
Anyway, as soon as Cheng Lin came in, he felt that the environment was very comfortable and cool.
But he couldn't observe the environment for long.
Soon, he was attracted by the future s1 on the table.
Curved glass body and stainless steel high-gloss frame.
Very technological.
The actual look and feel is really more memorable than any mobile phone he has ever used.
He pulled his girlfriend to the table, then let go of her hand and picked up the phone instead.
As soon as Cheng Lin held the phone, he felt firsthand the difference between this phone and the Jiaming phone he was using.
Really completely different!
I calmed down a little.
Cheng Lin gently pressed the power button to wake up the screen.
Then follow the prompts and swipe up gently to enter the home screen.
Then slide left or right.
That smooth experience...
Immediately, Cheng Lin's eyes widened slightly and he took a slight breath.
real……
You don’t know if you don’t experience it.
The experience was shocking.
So silky!
Although you can still feel the silky smoothness while watching the video.
But this is indeed two different things from actually getting started and operating it yourself.
To determine this.
Cheng Lin also specifically put down the trial phone, took out his own phone from his pocket, and then tried sliding it too.
originally.
Tianyu's high-end mobile phone, which I felt could be used for a while, suddenly no longer smells good.
It's really not comparable...
Cheng Lin frowned and played with his phone the whole time, then quickly put his phone into his pocket and picked up the future s1 for trial again.
Re-hold future s1.
His brows finally relaxed.
Then he tried the functions that come with other systems on the phone.
I found that every function can really kill him on his current mobile phone.
It’s not just as simple as smooth animation.
Rather, it is a way of operating that is more intuitive.
This kind of experience was actually not mentioned in the press conference, and it is difficult for users who have used it to explain clearly. Only by actually using it can you know how comfortable it is to use.
Cheng Lin's desire to buy, which had been suppressed at first, was aroused again as the trial progressed.
And just then.
beside.
Her girlfriend suddenly exclaimed.
Cheng Lin turned around.
"Isn't this the mobile game you downloaded some time ago?"
His girlfriend raised her phone and showed it to him: "It's available here too, but it's much better than what you downloaded. There are no ads or other messy props. You can play it directly and it's so smooth. Give it a try."
"I know. I heard that many mobile games on Tianyu Mobile are imitated. This should be the original..."
Cheng Lin replied, taking the phone and trying it himself.
but.
He said he knew it.
but.
When he actually played it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Needless to say, the interface is cleaner and more pure.
The main thing is...this mobile game is really much smoother to play than the games on his mobile phone.
There is no feeling of frame drops or lags.
Silky.
Really silky smooth.
It's obviously a similar mobile game...
It's really amazing.
"Is it smooth?" his girlfriend asked.
"Um."
Cheng Lin finished the game and nodded. Then he thought of something, found the future store icon, and clicked on it.
The app store page pops up.
Cheng Lin thought for a while and searched for the "Temple Run" he just played.
Soon, the game's software page popped up.
The most conspicuous thing is the download button.
Below are the software’s ratings, age limits, and rankings.
Following that is a promotional image of the application, as well as detailed ratings and reviews.
This game has a score of 4.9.
Whether it is a positive or negative review, you can see it directly.
The software page will even remind users what data this software may collect and give information about the software developer.
"...This is too convenient. If my phone had this function, I would not download those junk mobile games."
Cheng Lin looked at the software page and immediately thought of his own experience of being cheated out of money by a junk mobile game some time ago.
this moment.
He finally understood why some future s1 users said that many developers of Jiaming Alliance joined Jiaming Alliance because they couldn't survive in future s1!
The ecology of the two is really very different.
this moment.
Cheng Lin was really moved.
Mobile phone appearance, system, ecology...
As the experience deepens, more and more points attract him.
There are many humanized designs that can only be felt through personal experience, and they are full of surprises.
He felt that the Jiaming Alliance mobile phone he was using was getting more and more rubbish...
So soon…
Cheng Lin, who originally just wanted to take a look, looked at each other with his girlfriend, walked towards the polite staff, and asked about related matters.
And the other side.
At the same time, Cheng Lin pulled his girlfriend towards the staff.
A figure wearing a peaked cap.
Went into the store.
He is the helmsman of Tianyu, Yu Tianbo.
Ever since Linmu Studio announced that the future S1 offline store was about to open, he had been thinking about the impact.
But I never figured it out.
So it’s opening day.
He gritted his teeth and simply came to the scene himself.
As for why you cover your face.
Very simple.
Afraid of being recognized.
After all, they are competitors at the end of the day, and it really doesn’t sound good if word spreads about it.
And I saw the future s1 direct-sales store from a distance, and to be honest.
He was also shocked.
Isn't this... too luxurious?
Tianyu also has direct-operated stores.
Therefore, he also has a certain concept of the cost of offline stores.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the cost of future s1 direct-operated stores, he looked around and the numbers he got were really scary.
Will this really pay for itself?
Yu Tianbo was skeptical about this.
"So what is the purpose of investing so much to open a store? This cost...their mobile phones are mainly sold online, so they will close down in a year, right?"
Yu Tianbo took a look outside, murmured to himself, and then walked in.
And walked inside.
His cost estimate for this store has doubled again.
But he also had to admit it.
It's really comfortable to stay in there...
He walked around casually and did not try out his mobile phone.
He had already tried the mobile phone, and when he came this time, he was more concerned about the impact of the offline store on the Jiaming Alliance and exploring the source of his uneasiness.
but.
Went around for a while.
He still didn't understand the source of the uneasiness in his heart.
until.
He saw four long lines.
Yu Tianbo came to the back of the queue, looked towards the front, and found that this was the checkout queue.
He looked at the four cashiers who were still waiting in line to collect money, and there were even many people waiting at the end of the line, and he immediately frowned.
And just then.
Cheng Lin grabbed his girlfriend, passed him, and went to line up to check out.
"You really don't need to know, it is indeed better to use than Jiaming Alliance! You will know it after you try it, let alone other things. The software alone feels like it beats Jiaming Alliance's mobile phones in seconds! My current mobile phone, back then,
What kind of high-end models Tianyu also promotes...hehe, the system application mobile games are all rubbish!"
Cheng Lin said this to his girlfriend.
but.
Yu Tianbo also heard it.
moment.
A chill ran along the spine of his back, all the way up to the Tianling Gai!
that moment.
Yu Tianbo finally realized it.
Where does your uneasiness come from?
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the user who was trying out the mobile phone.
Those users who often widen their eyes, occasionally gasp, and even take out the Jiaming Alliance mobile phone in their pocket to compare.
