Chapter 674 The FPS circle joins in the grand event
The day the CG for "Titanfall" was released.
A bunch of professional players began to spontaneously help Linmu Studio promote this game.
This was actually quite beyond Lin Yao's expectation.
Not to mention other colleagues.
Lin Yao originally decided to send emails to these players, mainly because she saw many familiar players retire and then look good during live broadcasts.
I thought that the game came out as soon as it came out, and decided to send a copy of the game to these players. On the one hand, it was for publicity, and on the other hand, it was a source of comfort.
As for the extra CDK, it’s mainly because most of these players are live streaming, so Linmu Studio cannot ignore the players when giving them games.
Even a thought is needed.
So she added some more CDKs and asked the players to give them to the players. Although the CDKs given by a single player were not many, the sum of the CDKs given by so many players was quite a lot.
In short.
A large part of the reason for this operation was that Lin Yao wanted to do it.
There is no strategy to speak of.
But judging from the results...
This is exactly the strategy...
It can be said that Linmu Studio’s FPS-related e-sports projects have no rivals at all in China, not even one.
In this case, the influence of the relevant professional players is certainly great.
Simply put it is.
Even if this group of domestic FPS players retires, they are still the orphans of the glorious era.
As long as you are a player who likes FPS games, even if you don't like watching games, you have probably heard of the name.
Even if you haven't heard of the name, you have heard of related jokes, such as Lin Yao's Rong in his previous life, and Yi Dashan and so on...
With so many professional players, it can be said that they cover almost all players who like FPS.
In addition, "Titanfall" itself is not an internet celebrity game.
The promotional video is really attractive.
Spontaneous promotion by former professional players, coupled with the quality of the game itself...
The popularity of the game... exploded instantly.
And it’s not just limited to the country.
Linmu Studio's E-Sports Festival has long been no longer limited to the country. From the first edition, not only domestic teams have participated.
Therefore, Linmu Studio’s email was not only sent to domestic players, but also to overseas retired players.
So this wave.
This wave is attracting much attention...
My peers were all dumbfounded.
They had no idea that "Modern Scroll", which they thought had come to an end... actually wasn't the end yet!
There is actually a "Titanfall" in the middle.
And the whole FPS circle participated in this grand event...
damn……
What exactly does Linmu Studio want to do...
Tell the truth.
All major peers have collapsed.
Will we be given a way to live? Will we be given a way to live?
You have some fun with "To the Summit"!
But we haven’t gotten on the bus yet!
Please stop bombarding the players like crazy, okay?
There will be a few more "Titanfall" games, let alone the mobile version of the game, players will go back to the past!
Among all the colleagues, the only one who could be considered calm was Tianhu who was the first to break through the defense.
Although Mou Feng did not expect that there would be a "Titanfall" in the middle.
But "Titanfall" made Tianhu look embarrassed, and he liked to be called the "unlucky guy". He was embarrassed, but in the end Tianhu was a blessing in disguise...
Players ridiculed Tianhu intensively, but the MOBA mobile game owned by Tianhu successfully spread along with "Titanfall". Although it is not a good reputation, players do remember it...
Very fucked.
Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng broke through the defense at that time.
But after thinking about it carefully, I still accepted it...
Just be ashamed of yourself.
Better than incompetent rage.
certainly.
besides.
There is another very important reason.
That is, Mou Feng has also finished watching the promotional CG for "Titanfall"...
After reading it, he looked shocked and fell silent.
This time she was not silent because of frustration.
The main reason for his silence is... CG is so handsome!!
He wants to play too!!!
Although he is middle-aged, he is not old at heart. After all, he is in the gaming industry.
And what’s wrong with being middle-aged and bald? He also has a middle-aged soul!
The CG of "Titanfall" is really cool...
Really, the promotional video alone almost satisfied all his fantasies about future warriors and future mecha wars.
Don't say that mecha warfare is unrealistic.
This is a game! It’s really cool!
After watching the promotional video.
He even wants to pre-order it!
In the final analysis.
Mou Feng actually also likes games. This is the fundamental difference between him and Li Guangsheng. Otherwise, he would not have returned from overseas and given up his original position to make domestic games.
In fact.
He has really done enough for Tianhu.
Under the leadership of Mou Feng, Tianhu has stabilized its second position, and its games have been changing and the number of players has been increasing.
Moreover, although they are unlucky every time and are ridiculed wildly by players, their new products are actually quite successful.
otherwise.
Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng, old friends, cannot always stay at the decision-making level and firmly control Tianhu.
The reason why they looked so embarrassed was because there was a more dazzling existence in front of them.
Let alone Tianhu.
In Dreamland, where he worked before, Lin Mu Studio was a younger brother.
There's really no way around it.
However, no matter how much he liked it, Mou Feng still felt a little embarrassed... so he remained silent.
"Just play if you want, your eyes are going to gleam."
beside.
Li Guangsheng was speechless and complained.
"What a shame, I just envy them so much."
Mou Feng came back to his senses and looked at the computer screen: "It's really great, isn't it? I've always wanted to make a similar game, but the difficulty is really too high... Don't you think this game is great? Come and go.
The soldiers of the wind, the huge mecha... it’s really exciting!”
He told it with envy on his face.
"Forehead……"
But Li Guangsheng couldn't empathize.
He just thinks CG is very cool and Linmu Studio is amazing.
But to say how much I like it and how excited I am is false.
"Forget it, you don't understand."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mou Feng also knows that everyone has different ideas. He has been overseas for so many years, and he does like FPS more.
Among them, science fiction-themed FPS is his favorite.
"I really don't understand."
Li Guangsheng spread his hands and sighed: "I know now that Linmu Studio is crazy... When will this day end? Why is there another "Titanfall"..."
But Mou Feng ignored him and looked at the screen again, looking at the promotional picture of "Titanfall".
at last.
Mou Feng secretly pre-ordered the game.
…
The days passed day by day.
With the unremitting efforts of professional players and Linmu Studio, coupled with the extremely shocking CG of the game itself.
"Titanfall" has successfully become the most anticipated game among players at the beginning of this year.
Countless players cried out that they would die without playing "Titanfall".
certainly.
What followed was countless discussions.
For example, how will Pilot play, and what are the conditions for piloting a mecha?
Although Xuanfa's CG is handsome, it's just that little.
But the players just relied on a promotional video to chat for a whole month!
This is outrageous.
Among them, the ones who had the most fun chatting were of course the domestic players.
Because the Lunar New Year is coming soon.
Linmu Studio’s advantages as a domestic company have been fully utilized.
A game released before the Spring Festival!
This time period is when most domestic players have time and want to relax.
This is why Titanfall has attracted so much attention.
Such a suitable release time.
Linmu Studio really understands it.
And right there in the spotlight.
Holiday time points for major companies.
New Year's Eve twenty-seven.
"Titanfall" has ushered in its release date.
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng finished work early and returned home. After spending time with his wife and children, he returned to his study when it was almost time.
certainly.
He didn't say playing games.
Just saying I need to work.
But as soon as he entered the study, he locked the door, put on his headphones, and entered the state directly.
Gearing up.
Impatient.
He also paid close attention to this game during this time.
No.
A more accurate statement would be that he is exactly like an ordinary player... he has been hanging out in the player community for a long time, discussing the specific content of this game with players, and even getting red-faced.
Before playing many of Linmu Studio's games, he would convince himself that he wanted to learn them, and then he would become addicted to them after playing them.
That is also the price of learning...
But this time, he really couldn't lie to himself.
Learn shit...
He just wanted to play.
"Five minutes left..."
Mou Feng opened the Vaporwave game platform, then looked at the unlocking time, and then went to the forum to browse.
The game is getting closer to release.
There are more related discussions.
The expectations of the players are almost overflowing.
As for the specific gameplay of the game.
The players have been discussing it for so long and have exhausted it, and of course they have come to a conclusion. The conclusion that is generally recognized by all players is that players should control the pilot most of the time, and only under certain conditions or when they get some props.
Only in certain levels can you pilot the Titan.
Mou Feng also agrees with this point.
Because he knew how difficult it would be to complete the level if players were allowed to pilot the Titan mecha and switch between Pilot and Titan forms at will.
You can't let Pilot fight mechas, right?
Or just let the mecha sweep over?
It doesn't feel very realistic or interesting enough.
And no matter which one, it can't bring out the characteristics demonstrated in the promotional video.
So the most likely possibility is that Pilot is the focus, while Titan is just a tool for specific levels and certain links.
For example, when encountering an enemy mecha, you can stage our airdrop of Titans, and then allow players to experience mechas fighting each other.
To put it simply - mechas are most likely just to bring players a different combat experience.
It's equivalent to an adjustment.
But this is enough.
This rare FPS with mecha elements is produced by the famous Linmu Studio.
Even if the giant mecha is a tool for specific levels and certain links, Linmu Studio should not disappoint, right? The level design should not be bad either, right?
Mou Feng looked at the game on the screen and thought expectantly.
And this time.
The game is also officially unlocked.
The play button just lit up.
Mou Feng clicked on it immediately.
…
The game starts.
The logo of Linmu Studio appears.
then.
After a brief black screen.
The game's main menu pops up.
The background of the main menu is the vast starry sky.
Countless huge warships are sailing towards a certain planet.
Very shocking.
"Fuck..."
See this game menu page.
Mou Feng became excited and couldn't help but rub his hands again, then held the mouse and clicked to start the battle.
The game menu page gradually disappears.
Then.
CG playback.
On the battlefield, the pilot is flexible and fast, using various means to kill enemies with elegance and powerful destructive power.
It can be said that one person is half an army.
And at the same time.
Rifleman Jack Cooper's voice rang out.
Along with the scene of the Pilot's killing spree, he began to explain this special unit and what makes them different from all infantry - Titans.
Mou Feng couldn't help but gasped when he saw the opening CG that was completely different from the promotional video.
Linmu Studio is really willing to give up...
Moreover, this is really handsome!
The pilot constantly uses various props to eliminate enemies in various ways, attack head-on, bully the enemy, and survive in dangerous situations... It is so cool that it can be said that all of them directly hit the excitement points of the players.
And the final mecha battle.
It’s even more sublimated!
It directly raises the players' expectations to the point where they can't be any higher!
And on the screen.
The opening CG is still playing.
After introducing the Pilot and Titan.
The narrator changed the subject.
The background of the story was explained.
【Ever since I was sensible, the border has been my only home.】
[The IMC has been forcibly seizing our resources for so many years...polluting and destroying our planet, and killing all those who resist.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Although I have won consecutive battles on Ceres recently, I am still far away from defeating IMC.]
[Now, I am a rifleman in the resistance army, fighting for the freedom of the border. The day I become a pilot is still far away.]
[But when I become a pilot, I hope to... deserve it! 】
【……】
The general background of the story is actually not complicated.
It's the battle between the IMC and the rebels.
And a rifleman told his understanding of this war from his own perspective and his envy of the military unit.
Mou Feng heard this.
He was stunned for a moment.
Is the player a rifleman?
Not Pilot?
But soon, he reacted.
No, this should be a decline first and then a rise.
And this time.
As Jack Cooper's last words left his mouth.
Two Titans are about to fight on the battlefield.
The screen went black.
Lower right corner.
Lines of words emerge.
Exactly the same as COD.
【Pilot Trial】
[Boarding 'James Macallan']
[Approaching Typhon - IMC Territory]
Then.
The screen lit up.
The player is in a cockpit-like environment.
Looking out from the inside, you can see a pilot without a helmet and a Vanguard Titan.
At this time, the pilot also called out the name of the player character.
[Rifle Soldier Kubo...]
Sure enough, he was playing the role of infantry.
The plot of the first act is about this pilot training Kubo.
He felt that Cooper had the potential to become a pilot, so he used a simulation cabin to let him experience piloting.
The purpose is actually to teach players how to operate.
Mou Feng still understands this.
And this is also true.
As the door of the simulation cabin closes, the nerves connect and the picture changes.
The pilot named Lastimosa began to teach the rifleman Kubo, or the players how to control the characters.
At first it was just a simple run.
This is nothing to say.
Mou Feng followed Lastimosa all the way forward, and then came to a virtual scene that was said to be based on the latter's hometown.
And the next step.
The game teaches players to slide on walls.
The operation is also very simple, just press space and then lean forward against the wall.
Mou Feng jumped up and leaned against the wall with the mentality of giving it a try.
Under his control, the character slid over very smoothly.
Exactly the same as in the promotional video.
Then there are sliding shovels, continuous jumps, firearms...
Teaching along the way.
Mou Feng probably understands the mechanics of the game.
And the only feeling is that it is smooth.
Linmu Studio obviously adopts another idea to make FPS.
After adding mechanisms such as sliding shovels, continuous jumps, and wall gliding, the FPS game "Titanfall" is indeed very different from other FPS games.
but.
At this time, Mou Feng still did not have an accurate understanding of the word "difference".
until.
He played the ‘Pilot Review’ in the prologue.
This link is equivalent to the novice level of COD. Simply put, the player needs to pass a simple level, kill the enemy, and reach the end within two minutes.
And in this part.
Players need to use all the operations they just learned.
Mou Feng knows the purpose of setting up this part of the game. This can be regarded as the helplessness of game practitioners when playing games. Every time they play, they will think about the purpose of the game makers...
And precisely because he knew the purpose, Mou Feng didn't pay much attention to this level at first. He just wanted to end it as soon as possible and then officially enter the game.
He has learned the operation!
He is also a game producer, he understands!
No need to test at all!
Well...he did learn.
However, when it comes to actual combat for the first time.
Mou Feng controls the character, with a try mentality, jumps off the wall, glides away, shoots and kills the enemy in the process, then turns around and double jumps, steps on another wall, continues to glide... and completes it directly
A wave of cool operations demonstrated in the promotional video!
He was confused.
For the first time, I had an accurate understanding of the ‘difference’.
He can even kill the dummy below without landing!
The experience of the entire teaching level.
So simple! So smooth! So pleasing to the eye!
"...fuck!"
Mou Feng stopped immediately, even controlled the character, and looked back at the path he had just run, with a look of disbelief on his face.
At this moment, he directly put aside his identity as a game producer and was extremely excited.
