There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 401 Brainwashing
12 month 2 number.

"Tomb Raider" and "Battlefield" have been unlocked for two days.

The first batch of players who bought the game have basically cleared "Tomb Raider".

The stand-alone process of "Battlefield" is shorter, and almost all players who buy the game have already been exposed to the multiplayer mode.

And the most popular modes of the two games are exactly the opposite...

Although the prologue and first three chapters of "Battlefield" are liked by many players, the later chapters are a bit weak, which is also the biggest flaw of the "Battlefield" series-the plot has never been comparable to the COD series.

"Tomb Raider" is a stand-alone campaign with no urine points throughout the whole process. From Chapter 1 to the final chapter, it is very catchy and highly praised, but the performance of the multiplayer mode is very mediocre.

This is the case.

It would have brought some negative reviews to the game.

But because the two games were released at the same time and belonged to the same producer, they miraculously complemented each other in the end...

Players who like stand-alone battles highly recommend "Tomb Raider", and highly recommend it for its excellent character outlines, stunning graphics and suffocating rhythm.

Players who like shooting games and battles recommend "Battlefield", which has a unique charm and a refreshing battle mode with a realistic battlefield atmosphere.

Throughout Christmas, during the shopping season in Europe and America, Linmu Studio became the biggest winner...

This is the first time for Linmu Studio to launch a new game during the holidays in Europe and the United States, but it directly beats the old European and American game manufacturers, and with it, it also allowed Reflecta's consoles to increase their market share during the shopping season. , allowing them to truly replace the acquired Bushnell and become the veritable third largest host manufacturer...

of course.

There are reasons why Reflecta is willing to spend money on publicity, and there are also reasons why the other two host manufacturers did not prepare new games.

Whether Reflecta can secure its position as the third largest host manufacturer depends on their subsequent operations.

But one thing is certain.

That is.

Lin Mu Studio is unrivaled in the limelight, and has become famous in Europe and America.

Although Linmu Studio has launched many popular online games and stand-alone games before, such as "The Witch" is very popular, but the distance from being famous is actually almost meaningless... Many European and American stand-alone players have only heard of "The Witch", but they don't know The production company behind it is Linmu Studio.

But now, the two masterpieces, together with Lin Yao's appearance at the press conference, and Reflecta's crazy momentum, finally made many European and American players remember Linmu Studio, a game company from the East.

That's actually quite remarkable.

You know, Linmu Studio was established less than five years ago.

Leaving aside the major European and American manufacturers, Lin Yao’s previous Japanese manufacturers, which were familiar to European and American players, had a reputation that came only after decades of hard work...Nintendo, Capcom, Sony, Konami, etc. began to do it in the 90s. The game is over.

Therefore, in such a short period of time, it is really remarkable that so many overseas players can remember the company name.

The popularity of Linmu Studio's game has not only made players remember the production company, but also affected the future production plans of the European and American twins, that is, Gilber Company and Dreamland.

After all, the game sales revenue during the shopping season is not a small proportion for Gilbert and Dreamland.

This time the games of the two companies were beaten by "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider". They are already considering whether they can imitate and make similar games...

"Is the environmental destruction system in "Battlefield" difficult to implement?"

Frank looked at the chief technology officer in front of him and asked curiously.

The chief technology officer shook his head lightly: "It's not difficult, I researched it, and the means they implement is not complicated at all, that is, the model prepares several possible effects after attacking from different angles in advance, and then according to the actual game situation Replacement, we can do that too.”

"Then can we also make a similar game?"

Frank asked again.

"..."

The chief technology officer showed a look of embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yes, it is possible, but this kind of environmental damage is only used to enhance the atmosphere of the battlefield, but "Battlefield" is not only about creating a good atmosphere on the battlefield...I can only guarantee that the technology can achieve , but whether the game can be made or not depends on the thinking of the game producer.”

"understood."

Frank breathed a sigh of relief.

indeed.

Technology is one thing.

They can do the same.

But how to use the technology reasonably in the game, complement each other, and make the game more brilliant, this is a test of the ability of the production team...

After all, if you only have technology, no matter how well the battlefield is done, it is useless if the game is not fun.

"Battlefield" is not only the atmosphere of the battlefield, but also epic scene settings and art, the cooperation of various vehicles and arms, and the unique grandeur...

All in all... fun.

This is why many players are willing to buy the game "Battlefield".

"Okay, you go out."

Frank thought of this, waved his hand, and asked the chief technology officer to go out.

And he himself bowed his head, seriously considering whether to follow suit and make a similar FPS...

after all.

Even when he went to play "Battlefield", he was fascinated, and spent more than three hours shopping with others in the multiplayer mode...

He had to admit.

Linmu Studio, a game company from the East, is really powerful. Although the chief technology officer just said that environmental destruction is not difficult to achieve on a technical level, it is perfectly integrated into the game and directly raises the atmosphere of the battlefield to a higher level. It's really not easy.

This is still in the case of uneven hardware on the PC side...

If they were given a console with the same hardware, they would probably be able to maximize the gameplay of a game, right?

For example, in "Battlefield" this time, if the mainframe is exclusive, they may be able to squeeze out the performance of the mainframe, and then raise the atmosphere of the battlefield again...

Think of this.

Frank shook his head suddenly and smiled self-deprecatingly.

There's no way this could happen.

It is impossible for them to make exclusive games for Reflecta, and their game platform is deeply rooted in PC, and they are no longer consoles. How could they have such an opportunity...

"President."

At this time.

The secretary knocked lightly on the door and walked in.

"what's up?"

"I just received a call from Reflecta. Glenn John wants to ask you to meet tomorrow. Do you want to refuse?"

"Oh?"

Frank smiled when he heard the words, not surprised: "It's only been a few days, and I can't wait to contact me. It seems that their consoles have sold well during this period... It's really shit luck, promise him. "

The secretary nodded.

"However, they are so impatient, it also indirectly shows that Linmu Studio will not make games for them anymore..."

Frank shook his head and said with a smile: "It's normal. Seeing that those two games have brought such high sales to Reflecta's console, Linmu Studio probably regretted it. How could they be taken advantage of? Knowing how Reflecta convinced them in the first place..."

"Speaking of this."

When the secretary heard this, his face suddenly became a little weird.

"what happened?"

Frank looked up.

The secretary hesitated for a moment, and said: "Earlier today, Linmu Studio released a very short video on its own game platform and official social media accounts... Then I saw some players in the comments saying, this seems to be A sign of an installation that seems to imply ... a piece of hardware."

"?"

Hearing this, Frank made a question mark slowly, and after saying 'how is that possible', he immediately opened the Vaporwave game platform.

On the homepage of the overseas version of the Vaporwave game platform.

In the most conspicuous position, a LOGO is playing in a loop.

on bright red background.

Two minimalist squares slide up and down like installation.

click.

Then keep it parallel.

"...?" Frank looked at this short animation, and the words console... (control), 30-day countdown (30-day countdown) and other words that appeared at the end, and slowly put a question mark.

……What does this mean?
……

at the same time.

Peria headquarters.

Like Frank, Deputy Chief Executive He is asking the same questions to the technicians.

That is, can a game like "Battlefield" be made...

And the answer he got was similar to the answer Frank got.

can do.

But to what extent it can be achieved depends on the producer.

Reflecta has now officially replaced Bushnell, which was acquired from bankruptcy, and has become the third largest host manufacturer.

There is no way to change this matter.

Deputy He also calmed down and put away his useless anger.

Instead of wasting time on unnecessary things, he thought about how to deal with Reflecta next.

of course.

He has witnessed the success of "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider" this time. If you say he is not moved, it is a lie... After all, these two games have helped Reflecta gain a firm foothold to some extent. Not exclusive yet.

Of course he would think about whether he could launch a similar game on his own.

Listen to the conclusions of the technicians.

Deputy Chief He thought for a moment, and then explained to the technical officer: "You will evaluate the feasibility, and then hand over the feasibility report to Shima Shoji."

Shima Shoji is the ace producer of their well-known first-party studio.

"Yes."

Tech bent and bowed, then turned and left.

Deputy He thought for a while, and asked the secretary to call in the new head of the marketing department.

As for the previous one.

Already transferred to Southeast Asia...

"Is the release date of "Injustice" by Ben Studio confirmed?"

"Yes! It's February [-] next year."

The new head of the marketing department responded respectfully and humbly.

"Hmm... Check out Reflecta's February release list and show me."

Deputy He's eyes flickered, and he had already thought about how to deal with his new opponent, Reflecta.

After all.

The foundation of Reflecta is still too shallow. The first-party game companies or studios acquired by Hefu Ganfu basically know their details, and they cannot produce very good works.

As for the works of third-party production companies.

As long as it's not exclusive, it doesn't make any sense.

If there is no Linmu Studio who came out halfway this time.

They will be crushed this shopping season.

"Yes."

The person in charge of the marketing department bowed respectfully again.

"In addition, pay special attention to Linmu Studio, which has a particularly good relationship with them. If that company makes any moves, please make a special note."

Deputy He added.

Although the possibility is not high, if Reflecta convinces Linmu Studio again, there will still be some troubles.

"...Yes." The person in charge of the marketing department replied, and then showed hesitation.

"But it shouldn't be very likely."

Deputy He suddenly shook his head, and said with a smile to himself: "They probably won't make games for Reflecta, after all, I'm going to replace me, and I don't want to continue making wedding dresses for others. Even if the game is made to help others, even if it can make money, it will be used as an excuse for criticism..."

"President."

The person in charge of the marketing department cautiously interrupted Deputy Chief He.

"Hmm?" Deputy He was a little displeased.

"The Linmu Studio you just mentioned, they really have something worth noting. Not long ago, they announced an animation, I always feel a little strange..."

The person in charge of the marketing department said cautiously.

"strangeness?"

"Please see."

The person in charge of the marketing department took out his mobile phone, swipe it a few times, walked around to Deputy Chief He's side, picked up the mobile phone with both hands, and handed it to Deputy Chief He respectfully.

Deputy Chief He looked down.

The mobile phone is the official account of Linmu Studio on overseas social media.

And not long ago, they just sent a tweet.

The content of the tweet is a short video.

on bright red background.

Two minimalist squares slide up and down like installation.

click.

Then keep it parallel.

At the same time, two lines of words console... (control), 30-day countdown (30-day countdown) appeared below.

"...?"

Deputy Ganfu He felt a sudden chill in his heart, raised his head abruptly, and asked, "What do you mean!? What do you mean!?"

He even asked twice what it meant.

Because the word console stimulated his nerves.

console game (stand-alone game)?Or... a game console?

Combined with this installation-like animation...

"Subordinates are not clear."

The person in charge of the marketing department put away the mobile phone, shook his head, then hesitated for a moment, and continued: "However, I read some comments that this is like a sign of a certain installation, which seems to imply...a certain piece of hardware."

"impossible!"

Deputy He immediately retorted.

The new head of marketing kept his mouth shut.

But after Vice-Governor He swore to refute, he immediately frowned...

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "...Has your ex set off for Southeast Asia?"

……

domestic.

As more people cleared the two games "Tomb Raider" and "Battlefield", more players shared them.

Relevant game posts are constantly emerging, constantly teasing players.

three days.

For many host players who are unwilling to buy, life feels like years.

But okay.

Finally made it through.

Tomorrow, the platform version of the game will be unlocked.

[It's really not easy, three days!Three days!Lin Yao!Do you know how I got here these three days?Watch videos of other people playing games every day! 】

On the largest game forum in China.

Home.

The first post is the player's complaint...

But soon.

This post was taken down...

Then came a new post.

A new official post from Forest Studio.

The post didn't say anything, just posted a very short video.

on bright red background.

Two minimalist squares slide up and down like installation.

clack...

then.

it's over...

this day.

Vaporwave game platform, social media, Linmu Studio's official website, as long as it is a channel belonging to Linmu Studio, this short animation appeared.

All the players were brainwashed by that bang...
