Chapter 531: Surprise or Shock? (2nd Update)
This video was not only posted on Weibo, but also posted on major foreign video websites.
In addition, the entire CG is in English, and subtitles are also provided in multiple languages depending on the region.
Although there is not much description, just one video is enough to make players from all over the world feel excited!
As Chen Mo launches more and more high-quality games, Thunder Interactive Entertainment has a high degree of attention in China.
In foreign countries, with the rapid spread of a series of super classics such as "Warcraft", "Diablo", "Minecraft", and "League of Legends", the influence of Thunder Interactive Entertainment is also accumulating.
Especially those die-hard fans of Thunder Mutual Entertainment can't help but have a question in their minds after seeing this CG.
What kind of game is this?
Such a distinctive and rich CG quickly aroused heated discussions among players around the world.
Domestic player groups.
"Is this Chen Mo's new game? It's also a Western fantasy theme! ”
"Chen Mo is good at Western fantasy themes! However, it seems that the worldview background and the overall atmosphere of this world seem to be dark and dark. ”
"Chen Mo must have no problem controlling the dark wind, but I want to ask, why didn't he use Diablo's IP, but made a brand new game "Dark Souls"? This worldview obviously doesn't match at all! ”
"This should be done with the Pangu system, it is also a Western fantasy theme, is this going to compete with "Knight Glory"?"
"But...... I haven't seen anything other than video CG, so I don't know what the specific game content and combat are like. ”
"I think it's mostly Diablo kind of brushing games, right? There are plenty of lawn mowing battles to make it easy to show off the physics engine of the Pangu system. ”
There are also many people discussing it abroad.
"GA just disclosed some information about "Knight's Glory", and Thunder Mutual Entertainment released a promotional video for the new game? It's really interesting. ”
"Does this Huaxia company want to use the Western fantasy theme to compete head-on with GA? Isn't that a little too stupid? ”
"Buddy in front, you are really unheard, Thunder Mutual Entertainment has long had classic Western fantasy games such as "Warcraft" and "Diablo", obviously their chief designer Silent has a deeper understanding of Western fantasy than some European and American designers, and I don't feel strange at all that this company has released a classic Western fantasy work."
"Yes, I still have some vague expectations. In fact, it is better to expect GA to come up with a better Western fantasy theme work, after all, everyone understands GA's urine, and Thunder Mutual Entertainment has so many successful precedents! ”
"But I can't see anything from this video! I'm definitely not worried about the worldview, and the companies that can make Warcraft and Diablo will definitely have no problem in terms of the worldview structure. It's just that whether it can compare to "Knight Glory" still depends on the gameplay! ”
"I think this promotional video is very ordinary, obviously just tricky, there are a lot of connotations in it, but it seems to be completely separated. Judging from this video alone, you can't actually feel the world background of the whole world. ”
"These will be clear when the game comes out!"
Obviously, the quality of this game's CG is first-class, and it is completely worthy of the reputation of Thunder Film Studio, but many people don't understand some of the specific worldview content of CG.
Of course, this was also within Chen Mo's expectations.
The world background of "Dark Souls" is different from any previous Western fantasy theme, it can be said that it is completely unique, and it is very unrealistic to want to integrate the entire world view and completely explain it in a few minutes video.
And Chen Mo didn't want to explain it clearly at all, because a lot of the worldview content is distributed in the collection elements of weapons and maps, which require players to slowly explore and make up for it by themselves.
This video is based on the content of "Dark Souls 3", combined with a small part of the content of "Dark Souls 1",
The establishment of the Age of Fire mentioned at the beginning is mainly to give players a basic concept, that is, how did this world come about? Why do people spread fire? What kind of existence is the salary king?
After explaining these concepts clearly, he continued to enter the opening plot of "Dark Souls 3".
Of course, Chen Mo didn't explain this matter too clearly, including the Sun King Gwen, the witch, the tomb king Net, the white dragon Sith and so on, all of which were not mentioned in detail, mainly to hide some plots, in order to prepare for the launch of "Dark Souls 1" in the future.
The focus is mainly on the plot of "Dark Souls 3", and the main scenes are handed over to these ancient salary kings.
……
Soon, the big conjecture about what Chen Mo is going to do next, unfolded among players all over the world!
Of course, domestic players are the main battlefield, because they are the ones who (think) know Chen Mo best.
Obviously, this is a work created with the support of the Pangu system, so the game must highly highlight the physical engine of the Pangu system, and it is also a VR game.
At the same time, from the perspective of the worldview background, it is a proper dark wind, and in a sense, this world is more desperate than the world of "Diablo"!
Because the world of Diablo still has at least a whole bunch of angels who are opposed to demons, and while these angels are not good birds, they at least seem to be on the player's side.
At the same time, although there are a bunch of monsters around those cities, there are at least some living villagers in the cities.
But judging by this video from Dark Souls, especially in the second half of the video, basically no normal creatures are seen......
Dressed like a reptilian Collector, Eldredge in a puddle of mud, and Yum the giant with a big chopping knife......
The Watchful Flange Immortal Team of the Abyss looks like normal people, but they all have low brims, and they are obviously not easy to mess with.
And the narrator in the video also clearly said, "The salary king will definitely give up the throne", what does this mean of giving up the throne?
It doesn't seem clear whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to say that they are "nameless, unpaid, and cursed immortals", which feels like a proper bad person, so I guess I want to fight them, right?
Extrapolating from the video, the entire world of "Dark Souls" seems to be a hopeless world, and everyone was alive and well when there was fire, but now the fire is going out, so what should I do?
Of course, this is all speculation on the part of the players, both right and wrong.
However, such a worldview setting has aroused the crazy pursuit of some dark players!
In fact, after Chen Mo launched "Diablo", there were some manufacturers who followed suit and launched dark games, but they were not as successful as "Diablo", and this genre was far from being popular.
The gameplay is one thing, and so is the worldview.
Because after "Diablo", this kind of dark game did not subvert the gameplay of the Diablo series, and there is no particularly obvious advantage after changing it to a VR game, because the gameplay of Diablo is actually more suitable for PC mode.
Moreover, the world view structure of these games has not reached the level of "Diablo", and the sense of despair and plot depth are far behind, so there has not been a good dark work on the market for a long time.
Many die-hard players of the Diablo series are looking forward to Chen Mo continuing to release a sequel to the Diablo series, or transplanting "Diablo" to the VR platform.
But after all, Chen Mo has always been at ease, and no one knows what he will do in the next game.
Therefore, dark players are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and they have not been able to look forward to Diablo 2.
After seeing the promotional video of "Dark Souls" this time, although some dark players felt a little disappointed, (after all, this game did not use the dark IP, and the hope of wanting to torture the big pineapple again was disappointed), but the vast majority of dark players still felt more excited.
It has been a long time since there have been good dark game works on the market, and "Dark Souls" is personally designed by Chen Mo, and the quality will definitely not be bad.
And judging from the opening video, the worldview structure of the whole world is also absolutely great, and the only thing that is uncertain now is how to play.
Many fans of "Diablo" have already decided that even if Chen Mo eats his old book, stirs up cold rice, and optimizes the gameplay of Diablo itself, they can accept it.
No way, some die-hard fans can just make do with it.
But what they didn't know was that Chen Mo would bring them a big surprise this time.
…… Or frightened.
