Frank, the head of Gibber Company, saw the news about "Grand Theft Auto" at his home.
He was taking a bath at the time.
I was thinking about lying around with nothing to do, so I decided to watch something to pass the time.
Then he thought that the Forest Carnival was taking place, so he opened the live broadcast website.
At the beginning.
He just wanted to find the official live broadcast room of Linmu Studio.
However, during this period, he attracted attention with the title of another live broadcast room - [At the forest carnival, ohhhhhhh.]
The popularity of this live broadcast room.
Although not as good as Linmu Studio’s official live broadcast.
But it also stands out from the crowd, directly killing a large number of long-established game anchors and ranking second in the game area.
This is also the reason why Frank was attracted to this live broadcast room.
Although he is worth a lot of money, in the final analysis he is still the head of a gaming company, and he still has professional ethics.
He is not the kind of person who doesn't play games but treats games as a commodity.
In fact.
Among many colleagues, he is already considered the kind of leader who pays close attention to player dynamics.
I used to be addicted to "Diablo".
Although I can't say that I have a complete understanding of the dynamics of the players, I can still be considered to have some understanding.
Although he will not be like a player, he has been guarding some large-scale game activities, and there is a certain lag in obtaining information.
But he has a general impression of some big game anchors, because they are needed for soft advertising, judging the reputation of new games, and controlling public opinion.
Don't worry about whether the purpose is pure or not.
All in all, he is really dedicated.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t take a bath after get off work and watch game live broadcasts.
And it is precisely because of this.
Only then would he be interested in this sudden live broadcast.
Because he has never heard of this anchor... but his popularity is so ridiculous.
The title is related to the forest carnival...
But isn’t the official live broadcast room of the carnival located somewhere?
Is it interesting to take off your pants and fart?
The more Frank thought about it, the more confused he became, and he clicked directly.
"Brother, I just came out of the meet and greet venue, but it seems like only a few people came out! Most of the people are still in the venue, it's really crazy!"
As soon as the live broadcast room opens.
Frank saw a face staring at the camera.
The screen shakes.
Articulation is not clear.
There is no sense of distance from the camera.
The surrounding environment is noisy.
The hands are still shaking.
The entire live broadcast has nothing to do with the word professional.
Not even qualified.
Frank frowned immediately when he saw this scene.
If there are really people watching this thing, why is this thing ranked second?
He just had this question.
The real-time comments page is loaded.
Then, real-time comments popped up at a rate of ten per second and began to scroll crazily in the lower right corner of the live broadcast page.
There are also countless gift effects mixed in.
Frank was stunned when he saw this scene.
shit!
Is anyone really watching?
He became more curious, leaned forward, and followed the anchor to look down at the real-time comments.
The real-time comments scrolled so fast that Frank barely managed to capture a few.
Although these real-time comments have different words, they have similar meanings.
"What else was revealed after the meeting?"
"Come on, tell me, I missed the live broadcast! The replay hasn't come out yet! Is there any new information?"
"Jesus, I'm so looking forward to this game! I really can't wait, tell me about it!"
"Will the trial be open tomorrow!?"
"Tell me something that's not mentioned in the promotional video. There must be something there, right?"
"..."
Frank raised his head and probably understood.
Players want to know information about a certain game.
Because the day's live broadcast has not ended yet and the replays have not yet been released, Linmu Studio usually only releases the most basic promotional materials after the meeting.
But what will be said on the spot is far more than just a promotional video.
Otherwise, there is no need to hold a carnival and just show promotional videos.
The reason why the meet-and-greet is called a meet-and-greet is because the game producers will meet with the players and talk about details that the players are interested in on the stage.
This is also one of the most valuable contents of the meeting.
And if you miss it, in addition to waiting for the live broadcast to be replayed, you usually have to wait for the media to report it, or ask the audience at the scene.
The live broadcast room Frank is watching now belongs to the last situation.
"ha?"
After Frank figured out the cause and effect, he gently shook his head while the anchor was silent, and then said with some humor: "I really have never seen the world."
He really didn't understand.
no.
Can't you wait any longer?
The replay will be released later when the live broadcast ends.
Take a look then.
I’m still giving gifts here to let others say...
Even if Linmu Studio just released four novel new games the day before yesterday, it wouldn't be like this.
The Forest Carnival is now in its third year.
Are there any games that you haven’t seen yet?
Is there any need to be in such a hurry?
What kind of game is this? It deserves this.
Players...it's still too easy to be led away.
I can’t bear it when I release a promotional video.
Linmu Studio's games are good, but they're really not that good.
It also directly pushed the popularity of the other party's live broadcast room to the second place...
I have never seen the world...
Frank shook his head again.
And at the same time.
Studio.
The anchor who put his face in the center of the camera finally raised his head.
"Brothers, after the promotional video was released during the meeting, the situation of the three protagonists was also introduced."
“Even released a short video of the trial!”
He looked excited and began to explain what he saw and heard: "The three protagonists are named Mike, Franklin, and Trevor.
Mike is a career criminal. He was imprisoned twice when he was 20 years old, but he has already washed his hands of the crime. However, his retirement life is not happy, and there are also problems in his life.
Franklin was a black man who was new to the loan sharking and extortion business and had an impulsive friend.
Trevor, the official didn’t say much about this person’s background, but according to the producer, he is a complete lunatic, a terrorist who is very dangerous to ordinary people, but it is said that he is the best helper in criminal activities!”
"As for the follow-up trial, friends, you have no idea how surprised I am! The switching of these protagonists relies on mobile phones, and players can use the Future S1 in the game to choose to control the other two characters at any time.
But the most surprising thing is not this, you know? The most surprising thing is that they do not just wait for the player to control them, they also have their own lives, and every time they switch, they will be in different places.
Or sleeping in a shabby apartment, fighting with drunks on the street, or driving on the road!"
"The three characters seem to have their own lives. Even if the player does not control them, they will have some fun on their own, just like they are really alive."
"As for the gameplay demonstrated in the promotional video, players can control the three protagonists to do it! In the trial, the producer controlled the characters to do a skydive!"
"In addition, the producer also revealed that the game will have a 'free mode'. In this mode, you can go on TM missions and only do what you want to do."
"This is really cool!"
"You guys have no idea how much I'm looking forward to this game!!"
The anchor in the live broadcast room.
His voice was quite loud, and his voice broke at the end.
And as he spoke.
In the live broadcast room, real-time comments scroll faster.
I can't see clearly anymore.
Frank didn't take it too seriously at first, thinking that he would open it anyway, so he continued reading.
but.
soon.
He realized something was wrong.
Mike? Franklin? Trevor? Switch? Three characters? Skydiving?
A modern-themed game?
Lin Mu Studio specializes in modern themes, although this is not surprising.
But it's also quite surprising.
Judging from the name of the protagonist, it’s not a modern-themed game with their own domestic background.
This is even more surprising.
"Is this an FPS again?"
Frank combined a few words in his mind, and then a game type emerged in his mind.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and although he was slightly worried, he still shook his head.
Works like "Call of Duty" have come out.
What other FPS is worth being so excited about?
Nothing more than...
"video?"
Studio.
The anchor once again stared at the rapidly scrolling real-time comments for a while and noticed a question from a player.
"I took this picture! But it's a little blurry because the player in front was too excited, and I was too excited, and my hands kept shaking."
As the anchor said this, he put his cell phone directly into his pocket.
Then he fiddled with the camera around his neck.
This was also the last scene that everyone in the live broadcast room saw.
Then the screen went black.
but.
Faced with this situation, the people in the live broadcast room were not only not impatient, but actually looked forward to it.
Constantly posting real-time comments asking the anchor to hurry up, while frantically swiping gifts.
Frank sat up slightly in the bathtub.
See this scene.
He smiled again and shook his head.
It’s really unnecessary…
He felt that the water was a little cold, so he put his phone on the pallet and prepared to get up.
but.
The moment he stood up.
The anchor also took out his mobile phone again.
"I found it. Take a look. This is really the open world game I'm most looking forward to!"
The open world is like a spell.
Frank paused for a moment.
He immediately sat down again and hurriedly picked up his phone.
In the live broadcast room.
The anchor held the mobile phone in one hand, raised the camera around his neck with the other hand, turned the camera over, and then pointed the small screen of the camera at the camera.
What this anchor took with his camera is still not professional.
The screen shakes.
The composition is like shit.
The surrounding environment is noisy.
The playback screen is too small.
but.
The video played above still firmly caught Frank's attention.
On the stage of the just-concluded meet-and-greet.
Zhong Xiu holds a game controller and stands next to the screen.
And on the screen.
A screen of a certain game is showing.
The setting sun is like blood.
The top floor of the building with the letter H painted on it and a helicopter landing pad.
List of small hills.
A fat man in a suit and tie trotted forward, then climbed over the guardrail with a handsome gesture and jumped directly down.
The howling wind sounded.
He began to free fall.
then.
As Zhong Xiu pressed the button.
The man in the picture pulled the cord of the parachute behind him, and the parachute exploded.
The man pulled the direction-adjusting ropes at both ends of the parachute and began to glide forward along the street.
The main road below is busy with traffic.
The setting sun shines brightly on the glass of the building.
It's like a real shot.
Even if this anchor’s shooting techniques are like shit.
Frank was still deeply shocked.
Is this a real shot?
This idea just came to him.
I saw the character in the video gliding for a certain distance before finally landing.
He unhooked the parachute behind him, then staggered a few steps forward.
The passerby NPCs in the game were cursed and avoided.
At this moment.
Because the lens is close enough.
The NPC appeared on the screen, and Frank could finally see that this was a game...
The character in the video fell to the ground and ran a few steps before finally regaining his balance.
He adjusted his suit, and then under Zhong Xiu's control, he ran in front of a pedestrian and punched him down.
A set of actions.
Flowing clouds and flowing water.
Skydive, glide, land, knock down pedestrians.
It's indeed a game.
But... Genimajia was shocked.
Frank's eyes widened suddenly.
"Cool, right!? "Grand Theft Auto"..."
In the live broadcast room.
After the video was played, the anchor began to ask questions to the players watching the live broadcast.
The audience, on the other hand, directly expressed their feelings with more real-time comments and gifts.
As for Frank.
I no longer care about the anchors and these players.
I no longer care whether the water in the bathtub is cold or not.
He was stunned for half a second.
I immediately exited the live broadcast room.
Instead, the largest player forum in North America was opened.
And once opened.
He immediately took a breath...
The screen is filled with Grand Theft Auto!
Every post mentions Grand Theft Auto!
As far as the eye can see.
There is no post without this word.
Frank was stunned again for a while, and then clicked in one by one.
And soon.
He found the high-definition, watermark-free version, the official game promotional video released by Linmu Studio.
Very Hip-Hop music began to echo in the bathroom...
Ten minutes later.
Frank finally looked up.
Then, when he loosened his hand, there was a clang sound.
He dropped his phone directly into the bathtub...
But he didn't respond.
He finally knew what game Linmu Studio had just announced.
as well as.
Why were there so many players waiting for the live broadcast room he just watched...
at the same time.
The bath water in his bathtub has also become completely cold...
A biting chill came.
Frank suddenly came back to his senses. He looked down at the Future S1, whose screen was still on, and reached out to pick it up.
Future S1 is pretty waterproof.
It can still be used.
He switched back to the live broadcast room.
The live broadcast room he watched just now is still there.
The anchor is still discussing the game "Grand Theft Auto" with the players.
The tone was excited.
The audience, on the other hand, is still frantically checking in for real-time comments and gifts.
He still looks like he has never seen the world...
Frank looked at the live broadcast room.
Watch the real-time comments pop up all the time.
Finally I couldn't bear it anymore.
"What The Fuck!"
"Open world!"
"you sure?"
An Eastern game company, an Eastern game producer, made an open world game based on the real city of North America!?
And it was done like this!?
You just want to force your colleagues to death, right!?
…
What Frank went through.
In fact, many domestic players who did not watch the live broadcast also experienced it earlier.
but.
Because time is more friendly.
There are also many domestic players who go to the scene.
So most players don’t have to wait for the live broadcast.
soon.
There are many on-site shooting videos leaked.
Because there are enough people taking pictures.
There are also many professionals.
Keep a steady hand.
The lens does not shake.
Videos with clear pictures are everywhere.
Players have basically watched that demonstration video.
Players are already discussing it at this moment...
The status of major player forums in China is similar to that overseas.
How to put it? To simply describe it, players are having a carnival...
"Lin Mu Studio!!! Lin Yao!!! You are my father!!!"
“Listening to Zhong Xiu’s introduction on stage was enough to shock me. I was even more excited to stand up during the promotional video. I didn’t expect it! The demonstration video was even more exciting!
If you haven’t been to the scene, you already know roughly what happened before watching the video, but for us players who have been to the scene, do you know what it means?
When Zhong Xiu took out a controller and the game screen appeared, he controlled the character to jump off the top of the building and overlook a huge city! Do you know how excited we were?
Players went crazy at that time!”
"It's so shocking! Is this the first time Linmu Studio has made a game of this size? A city of 300 square kilometers!!!"
"I thought the four new games the day before yesterday were already a big surprise, but I didn't expect!!! On the last day, Linmu Studio could bomb everyone with nuclear bombs!!! This is my first time for such an open world game.
See!"
"I'm so looking forward to it! I really want to play it! In addition, there is still no mobile game that has appeared this time. It is clear that the revenue of "The Day of Samsara" has reached 3 billion. In terms of revenue, to be honest, it is really higher than many traditional games.
But Lin Yao still insisted not to let mobile games appear at the carnival, not even one...
And throughout the carnival, although Lin Yao did not appear, she was everywhere. As long as the producers came on stage, they would never leave Lin Yao...
To be honest, anyone who has watched the carnival can probably tell where the roots of this game company lie.
Lin Yao is really important to this company, and having such a company in China is really a blessing for the players."
"Yeah...I'm looking forward to the closing ceremony even more now. If such a nuclear bomb was thrown at the last meeting, wouldn't the closing ceremony go to heaven!? Lin Yao [excited]"
"Ah, I'm scared. All these games have been brought out... This won't be the last carnival, right? It's really scary [crying]"
"..."
at last.
Discussing and discussing.
Many players even expressed fear.
Their underlying logic is similar to that of Tianhu's Mou Feng.
This forest carnival, this feast... is really sumptuous.
It feels like all the good things have been served...
You know, the Forest Carnival has been held for the third time.
It is normal for some sensitive players to worry that this year is their peak and they may not be able to survive next year.
certainly.
Although there are many such players, they are still not many compared to the total number.
Forest Carnival backstage.
When Zhong Xiu saw these remarks, he didn't really care.
Because he knows what's left in the kitchen...
What he cares more about is the evaluation of the game and his hair.
After reading the game evaluation, he felt relieved after reading the discussion from the players.
But the hair...
Tell the truth.
He was still not sure, although deep down in his heart, he was still determined.
But he also knows that the release of the game "Grand Theft Auto" is really like a nuclear bomb...
What will happen in the end?
Zhong Xiu is not sure.
…
the next day.
The last day of this year's carnival.
has arrived.
However, the players did not have much reluctance to give up.
Because this year's carnival is still full of surprises, and the last meeting yesterday was an eye-opener for all players.
At this moment, players are still discussing "Grand Theft Auto" announced yesterday and looking forward to the closing ceremony.
There is no time to miss it.
And today.
The same time the last day of the carnival begins.
The popularity of "Grand Theft Auto" continues to grow.
The discussions among players are just the initial waves after the game was announced.
Although this wave can be called a storm in the gaming circle.
but.
It’s far from over yet…
That morning.
Member of Jiaming Alliance, Tianyu Group.
Yu Tianbo came to the company. Before starting a day's work, he opened social media as usual and checked the recent news.
Then.
He saw the hot search for 'Linmu Studio's new game, an open world game, a world that can look real and fake'.
"..."
Yu Tianbo was stunned, then clicked and took a look.
After watching the game’s promotional video.
He shook his head helplessly, and then felt a little emotional.
Even if Linmu Studio doesn't make mobile phones, technology products, or games, it still attracts a lot of attention...
but.
He just sighed.
Soon, he closed the page and forgot about the matter.
Because this thing has nothing to do with him.
What Linmu Studio announced is not a mobile phone, nor is it a technology product.
It's not even a mobile game.
If it were a mobile game, he would have to consider its impact on the mobile phone industry.
But traditional games are completely irrelevant.
To be honest, deep down in Yu Tianbo's heart, he actually wishes that Linmu Studio would keep making games...
"It's a forest carnival... just don't make any announcements."
Yu Tianbo smiled and found that the most noteworthy news was the forest carnival, so he even turned off social media.
Let's make a game.
Go ahead and shock everyone with your game.
It would be even better if it could steal the popularity of Future S1 in the end...
ha……
Dong Dong——
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Interrupting Yu Tianbo's thoughts.
Yu Tianbo raised his head and said come in.
His confidant secretary pushed the door open and came in anxiously: "Boss, take a look at this."
"What's the matter?" Yu Tianbo frowned, took the other person's notebook, and then asked.
The secretary replied: "Future S1!"
"...Huh?" Yu Tianbo paused, and then asked doubtfully: "Isn't Linmu Studio releasing games? What does this have to do with Future S1? Is UMedia Technology also doing something about it?"
"It's not YouMedia Technology that's messing with this!"
The secretary said helplessly: "It's because of Linmu Studio's game! Didn't they announce a game yesterday? It seems to be called "Grand Theft Auto", and the game seems to have a mobile phone software... After the game fermented overnight, overseas
Future offline stores are full today!
You asked me to continue to pay attention to the situation of Future S1. This is the report sent by overseas colleagues!
Since yesterday, their offline stores have been lined up with long queues, and their online channels have also been busy.
Overseas colleagues said that Linmu Studio might be replicating the success of Future S1 in China!"
