Cheng Lei clicked on the Vaporwave game platform and saw the promotional image on the most prominent position on the homepage at first glance.
The promotional pictures are very eye-catching.
Countless zombies in ragged clothes and bloody flesh swarmed in, while the four survivors stood on the roof of the car, holding various weapons in their hands, and seemed to be fighting a bloody battle with the swarming zombies.
Blood filled the entire promotional picture.
In the game name ‘Left 4 Dead’ on the promotional image, the word 4 is also stained with blood, which complements the entire picture.
The composition is really great.
but.
As a loyal gamer, Cheng Lei has never heard of any major game company talking about making a doomsday zombie-themed game recently.
Launching the game without saying hello?
This is not like the operation of a major game manufacturer.
The only one that does this is Linmu Studio.
But since the advent of the Forest Carnival, the e-sports festival process has changed.
Linmu Studio rarely announces any new games outside of these two time periods, especially traditional games.
Players have also become accustomed to enjoying Linmu Studio’s intensive bombardment of game releases at events such as carnivals.
So which game company made this?
Looking at the promotional picture, it doesn’t seem like a small factory...
Cheng Lei clicked on the store details page out of curiosity.
The game is called "Long 4 Survival".
As for the store page, although the promotional video has not yet been released, screenshots of the game have been released.
It looks like a serious 3D game.
Cheng Lei became more interested and continued to scroll down, wanting to see who the producer and producer were.
Then.
She saw the familiar name in the producer and producer columns - Linmu Studio.
"..."
Cheng Lei's eyes widened suddenly.
After repeatedly confirming that I saw it correctly.
He held the mouse and immediately pulled it down, wanting to see the platform on which the game was logged on.
First glance.
He looked at the mobile terminal.
No tick.
There is no check mark on the mobile version.
This means that this is a traditional game.
It was not announced at the Linmu Carnival, nor was it announced at the E-Sports Festival. It was Linmu Studio’s first-party traditional game masterpiece that was announced suddenly!
"No way?"
When Cheng Lei saw this, he finally couldn't hold himself any longer and stood up from his chair, with a complicated expression on his face.
A mixture of disbelief, surprise and excitement.
Yes.
This is the player who said in the forum at that time that the number of traditional games produced by Linmu Studio will decrease to a certain extent, while the number of mobile games will increase.
Because he is a loyal gamer, he plays both mobile games and traditional games.
So he thought he had sensed the changes in the entire gaming industry quickly enough, so he dared to make such a judgment.
And things developed exactly as he expected.
The entire gaming industry has turned to mobile games.
But only.
What Lin Mu Studio was doing at this moment was beyond his expectation.
They actually... released a new game in October!?
Or a traditional game!?
Just when my peers are turning around to increase their investment in mobile games!
Why!?
Cheng Lei couldn’t understand!
Such a game cannot be made overnight. Linmu Studio should have been working on this game for a long time, but this announcement date...
The only possibility that Cheng Lei can think of is that Linmu Studio is also a traditional game school!
And at the same time.
Just when Cheng Lei was caught in a brainstorm.
major forums.
Other players also exploded.
Lin Mu Studio's sudden out-of-the-box play even caused two strange arguments to appear in the player circle...
"What the hell!? Linmu Studio suddenly announced a new game - "Land of Survival"! It looks like a doomsday zombie theme! A traditional game! It's not a mobile game!"
"A new game is announced at this time, and the mid-year carnival dishes have just been finished, and Linmu Studio has brought out new dishes!?"
"The case has been solved. Linmu Studio is also a traditional game group. They are dissatisfied with the changes in the industry, even though they are the ones who started this trend, so they want to use traditional games to wake up their peers!"
"This is really unexpected. This is the first time in three years, right? Linmu Studio announced the game at this time. Considering the current market changes, what was said above is really possible..."
"Come on, how is that possible? They also make a lot of money from mobile games. How could it be to wake up their peers... I am more inclined to Linmu Studio to let the new games at the end of the year be released in advance. Isn't it possible?
Well, this may still be an experimental work. To put it simply, it doesn’t matter if it fails. If it succeeds, it will make a lot of money.”
"Brother upstairs, you just got into the game, right? Have you ever played Linmu Studio's games? How can you say such words as Wan Piao Zhi Zhi? Have you played Lin Mu Studio's games before?"
"This announcement date is indeed unexpected and can make people think a lot, but... what I care more about is this game! Is it fun? When will it be released?"
"Yes! Whether this is Linmu Studio's dissatisfaction with the changes in the market or just a fun work, it doesn't matter. The most important thing for us is whether the game is fun or not! It can be said that the subject of zombies has no sense of mystery anymore. Linmu Works
Can the room come up with anything new?"
"..."
Lin Yao didn't expect it herself.
Just by announcing the game on different days, and even before the game's promotional video was released, players were already discussing and making up their minds crazily.
It can only be said that this is a manifestation of the influence of Linmu Studio.
However, this situation did not last long.
As Linmu Studio released a promotional video for the game.
All these discussions disappeared in an instant.
After all, the most important thing for players is still the game.
That night.
Cheng Lei opened the Vaporwave game platform again and clicked on the store details page of the "Long 4 Survival" game that Linmu Studio announced unconventionally.
The first game promotional CG has been released.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked on the video.
Although I was shocked when I first saw this game and couldn't figure out why Linmu Studio did this, in the end, for a loyal game player like him, this is a good thing.
After all, there are new games to play.
His interest in the new game outweighed his doubts and shock.
He now wants to know how to play this game.
And as he pressed play on the video.
There was almost no lag on the Vaporwave game platform, and it immediately started playing the promotional CG for "Long 4 Dead".
Deng Deng stared——
Accompanied by chords.
Under the dim sky.
Dogs barked and footsteps sounded.
The screen gradually brightens.
A muscular black man wearing a polo shirt, a gentle man wearing a white suit, a young man wearing a peaked cap, and a woman wearing a pink T-shirt.
The four characters who appeared on the game cover walked forward cautiously, looking left and right.
The camera slowly moved up, showing the towering billboard next to them, with an announcement written on it——
[Due to the spread of the virus, our restaurant will be temporarily closed until further notice]
Just a few sentences.
It explains the background of the story.
Spread of the virus.
Then the screen goes black and the scene transitions.
The convenience store was sealed with wooden bars. The strong black man in the lead smashed the glass and wooden bars with his elbow, and then forced the door open.
A group of people filed in.
The four of them were searching for supplies in the convenience store and planning their next route. At the same time, the black man in the lead read the announcement about the spread of the virus.
"Report anomalies..."
"Set up roadblocks around your home..."
"Avoid contact with any zombie-infected people..."
"Waiting for instructions..."
And read it to the end.
The leading black man sneered, threw the announcement aside, took a bite of the chocolate in his hand, and said, "Wait? Wait a minute."
then.
The camera slowly moves to the left.
It was given to the young man wearing a peaked cap.
He was fully armed, with two guns and gasoline barrels on his back, and a spray gun in his hand. He turned around and said: "Kill all these bastards..."
Click.
He pulled the bolt of his shotgun and said, "These are my official instructions."
Until then.
The entire promotional CG maintains restraint and even has a tranquil temperament.
But the next second.
As the young man who just said "official instructions" kicked open the security door, the style of the painting changed suddenly.
door.
The bloody zombies, covered in ketchup, heard the sound, immediately turned back, howled, and rushed toward the camera.
The originally monotonous chords suddenly changed.
As the drums beat, the music becomes intense.
The four protagonists stood at the door, facing the zombies rushing towards them, and shot each one.
Then the camera starts to switch quickly.
Day, night, city, wilderness.
Guns shot off heads, fire axes split heads, and blood flew everywhere.
But the promotional video didn't continue to spark excitement.
With the appearance of special infected people.
A rider who laughs wildly, has a flexible body, and can ride on people's heads; a mud man who hides in the mud and can only crawl, but is extremely fast; characterized by a female, whose mouth is eroded and green liquid is constantly flowing out, and makes a sharp scream
The Spitter...
These strange, curious and disgusting zombies are paired with abrupt and disturbing music.
Suddenly the promotional video was a little more tense.
The four of them fought and ran, and finally reached the official evacuation location.
The promotional CG is halfway through.
The four of them climbed up the tall building.
But what greeted them was an early evacuation by helicopter, and they were still trapped in the current situation of the city.
No one rescued them.
"Looks like the plan has changed."
at last.
As Nick, dressed in a white suit, said this line.
The second half of the promotional video continues to play.
It is clear.
They fought back again.
Fighters roared past, destroying the bridge connecting the city.
The four protagonists faced even crazier zombies in the flames of the explosion, struggling to survive.
More special zombies appear.
Clown zombies whose shoes make squeaking sounds, attracting nearby infected people; nuclear, biological and chemical infected people who wear protective clothing so that flames or incendiary bullets cannot harm them; people who wear suspender overalls and have a huge body and a huge right hand that can lift
A rusher who grabs a human and smashes it to the ground like a chicken.
They come in waves.
Exciting scenes are constantly being staged.
And in front of the screen.
Cheng Lei's breathing gradually became rapid while watching the CG of the promotional video.
Damn it!!
This seems to be a little different from ordinary zombie-themed games.
And at the same time.
on the screen.
The four protagonists trudged forward and stumbled all the way to the elevator of the shopping mall. After getting rid of the smoker's tongue, the elevator door closed.
in a confined space.
The four of them got a rare moment of respite.
But this time is not long.
As the elevator descended, the four of them looked downstairs.
The first floor of the shopping mall was densely packed with countless zombies. They heard the sound of the elevator and were slowly gathering in the direction of the elevator.
"Holy shit."
finally.
A curse broke the silence.
The leading Hei Ge pulled up the young man who was shocked to see the zombies gathering downstairs, and the only woman in the team handed him a weapon.
"Hey, kill those bastards, right?"
She repeated what the young man said at the convenience store.
The young man took the gun and nodded with a smile.
The screen is aligned with the floor display panel.
The elevator keeps going down.
The music starts again.
Pictures of other levels began to flash.
During the carnival, four people stood on the stage, facing the fireworks ejected from the edge of the stage, and used guitars and guns to attack the zombies that were constantly coming from the edge of the stage, as if they were performing a black comedy.
In front of the building, four people stood firm. The only female character in the team held a machine gun, shooting at the zombies that kept coming like a god of war.
On the bridge, facing the most difficult tank, which was so huge that it could easily grab a car and smash it over, the four of them cooperated alternately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I haven't..."
"get ready……"
"Go to hell."
Finally, with Nick's lines.
Ding--
The harsh elevator arrival signal sounded.
The four protagonists arrive at the lowest level of the shopping mall.
The elevator door opened, splashed with blood and reflecting the silhouette of zombies.
Zila.
The strong black man in the lead started the chainsaw, and the four protagonists with weapons in their hands appeared in front of the zombies.
then.
The name of the game appears - "Long for Survival".
There are also small words below - "Now! Start!"
"..."
After Cheng Lei watched this promotional video, I have to say that he was instantly attracted.
The road to survival.
As the name of the game suggests, looking at the promotional video, it seems that players have to control the protagonists to survive, and they will encounter a lot of troubles on the way...
Although it is just a promotional CG, the types of zombies, types of weapons, and gameplay can basically be seen.
It looks like fun!!!
The atmosphere created in the game is indeed as good as ever!
Fighting zombies on stage!?
Is this some kind of zombie idol!?
There are also all kinds of special zombies... they all feel very oppressive! Just watching the promotional video makes me feel so oppressive!
And most importantly...
Cheng Lei held the mouse and pulled the page down.
really.
The game introduction is also available below.
Compared with promotional CGs that are more impactful but cannot confirm gameplay, the advantage of text introduction is that it is easier to understand.
When you see - 'In the game, players have to work together with other survivor characters (four people in total) to escape from the virus-infected area and fight against the infected along the way. On the way to escape, players need to activate the key on the map
Some mechanisms are set up so that the survivors can continue to move forward, but this will cause a large number of infected people to attack.' This introduction.
Cheng Lei suddenly understood.
really!
No wonder there are four protagonists in the promotional video!
This is a cooperative survival game!!!
Cooperate to fight zombies?
Damn it.
Cheng Lei combined the promotional CG and began to imagine what it would be like to clear the level with his friends, and couldn't help but rub his hands together.
The anticipation is overwhelming!
And when he saw the release date, he even waved his arms excitedly.
This game... will be released on November 11th!
If Lin Mu Studio doesn’t fix it, you can start playing it next month!
"Lin Mu Studio, you are the god in my heart!!!"
After watching the promotional video, watching the introduction, and finally seeing the release date.
Cheng Lei really couldn't help it and yelled out a very shameful sentence.
What is the purpose of Linmu Studio?
It doesn't matter anymore!
He knew that a fun game was coming!!!
And at the same time.
Other players were also shocked when they saw the promotional CG and game introduction, and their eyes lit up.
Cooperate to survive and fight zombies!?
Damn it.
Of course, some people's eyesight goes dark.
Because once there is a word like cooperation in a game, it means that players need to have the highest hardware configuration in the gaming industry - friends.
Still three!
This is crazy...
but.
They didn't feel sad for long.
Because the subsequent game introduction also mentioned that other characters can be controlled by AI, and players can play the game alone.
The game will also have an online matching mode.
See this.
Players don’t even have their final worries anymore.
In the end, all that's left is the anticipation for the game!
Players forum.
The second wave of discussion is once again ushered in!
"Awesome! Produced by Linmu Studio, a new direction for zombie-themed games! Four-person cooperative escape!"
"I was so excited when I saw the promotional video. There were all kinds of weird zombies, various weapons, and bloody scenes... It was so interesting!"
"It will be released next month! Next month! Everyone is making mobile games, but you gave the players another surprise! Lin Yao! Are you an angel!?"
"Isn't she always? [image]"
"Damn, what a hanging picture, but it's really appropriate, hahaha... The land is littered with mobile game corpses, and Lin Yao descends from the sky, holding a game called "Land of Survival", hahaha."
"Fuck, you can change the picture so fast, but this is the official software of Linmu Studio. If you change Lin Yao's picture, you don't want it anymore?"
"I am beautifying Lin Yao, she will forgive me. [dog head]"
"..."
soon.
A picture of a sand sculpture of Lin Yao spreading his wings and falling from the sky on a land littered with mobile game corpses was circulated on the forum.
Spreads extremely fast.
I don't know who changed it.
But most players think this picture is very appropriate.
Who would have thought.
At a time when all game companies are turning around, we can still play a masterpiece, and it is a cooperative escape game that seems to be full of gameplay!
certainly.
There are also opponents who are not optimistic about this.
For example, a user named ‘Zhu Ling 444’ posted a post.
[Regarding "Long 4 Dead", I'm pouring cold water on it. I still feel that the release date of Linmu Studio is not normal. It has been a routine for so many years, but now it suddenly comes out like this. It really seems like it is forcibly advanced for the sake of reputation.
Release date. It is estimated that this game is an unimportant experimental work of theirs. After all, the potential of the zombie theme has been exhausted for so many years. I don’t think this game is anything new. Maybe it just adds a cooperative gameplay. In essence
It’s no different from other zombie games, so don’t get too excited and have too high expectations.】
This kind of post.
Although most players don't like to watch it very much.
But I have to say that what the other party said really poured cold water on the players who were looking forward to it...
When many players saw this post, their smiles immediately froze.
Of course, there are also many players who think this is impossible and argue in the post below.
"Brother, there is really no point in making subjective assumptions. If you want to put it that way, when the carnival was first held, there was no precedent! Can it be said that Linmu Studio just wants to trick players into killing them offline?
"
"The game's promotional CG and the things disclosed are not disappointing. The game has not been released yet, and everyone is looking forward to it. You have to say this, what's the point?"
"If you know how to pour cold water, don't say it! If you don't know how to speak, don't say it!"
"You only know this kind of thing after the game is released. What is revealed now is at least satisfying, isn't it? Why do you still have to think so much? Can't you be happy first? Pessimism is not advisable. Everyone plays games just to have fun. By then the game will not be good.
I took the lead in the charge, but there is no need now, right?"
"..."
Most players below the post are expressing their dissatisfaction.
soon.
The person who posted this post, 'Zhu Ling 444', also came out - "I have seen everyone's replies, but I am just expressing my thoughts. What do you mean if you can't speak, don't speak? You can't not speak at all.
Let people say it? I don’t think it’s okay! Can’t I stick to my opinion? You think it’s a good thing for everyone to be as stupid and happy as idiots, right?”
The poster stands by his opinion.
But probably because he was too excited, he fired the map cannon without thinking carefully about his words, and then both sides got angry and even quarreled...
It's quite intense.
but.
This is just a small episode in the player community.
This doesn't have much impact on the game's release.
Lin Yao actually saw the questioning post, but she didn't pay much attention to it because these doubts would disappear after the game was released.
She is still confident about this.
What she cared more about was the sand sculpture of an angel descending that had her face attached to it.
What a shame!
At that time, she wanted to ban the first player who spread this picture.
If Mu Wanqing hadn't suppressed her laughter and hugged her tightly from behind.
The vindictive Lin Yao actually banned the player who insisted on changing the picture to beautify her...
And the other side.
Colleagues at Linmu Studio soon learned that Linmu Studio was about to release a stand-alone game at this time.
As for what they thought after hearing the news... it's very simple.
They just feel.
Lin Mu Studio is so willful.
At the same time, I think they... are really handsome.
Do whatever you want.
Everyone thinks that mobile games have no future, so they just make mobile games.
Everyone thinks that mobile games are the future, and they are preparing to release new stand-alone games.
And every time they raise their arms, no matter what they do, all players will turn their attention to them.
It can be said that it is a response to a hundred calls.
Blanch!
This is really cool...
I'm really envious...
I just don’t know what the scene will be like after the game called "Land of Survival" is released...
