Chapter 531 Surprise or Fright?
This video was not only published on Weibo, but also on major foreign video websites.
Moreover, the entire CG is all in English, with subtitles in multiple languages depending on the region.
Although there is not much description, just a video is enough to make players from all over the world feel excited!
As Chen Mo has launched more and more high-quality games, Leiting Interactive Entertainment has gained a high degree of attention in China.
In foreign countries, with the rapid spread of a series of super classic works such as "Warcraft", "Diablo", "Minecraft", "League of Legends", the influence of Thunder Interactive Entertainment is also accumulating.
Especially those die-hard fans of Thunder Interactive Entertainment couldn't help but have a question in their minds after seeing this CG.
What kind of game is this?
Such distinctive and rich CG has quickly aroused heated discussions among players around the world.
domestic players.
"Is this Chen Mo's new game? It's also a Western fantasy theme!"
"Chen Mo is good at the Western fantasy theme! But it seems that the world view background and the overall atmosphere of this world seem to be dark."
"Chen Mo definitely has no problem in controlling the dark wind, but I want to ask, why did he not use the Diablo ip, but made a brand new game "Dark Soul"? This worldview obviously doesn't fit at all!"
"This should be done with the Pangu system, and it is also a Western fantasy theme. Is this going to challenge "Knight of Glory"?"
"But... I didn't see anything except the video CG. I don't know what the specific game content and battle are like."
"I think it's mostly a game like "Diablo", right? There are a lot of grass-cutting battles, which is convenient for showing the physics engine of the Pangu system."
There are also many discussions abroad.
"GA just disclosed some information about "Knight of Glory", and Thunder Interactive Entertainment released a promotional video for the new game? It's really interesting."
"Is this Huaxia company going to compete head-to-head with GA with a Western fantasy theme? It's a bit too stupid, right?"
"Dude in front, you are really ignorant. Thunder Interactive Entertainment has long had classic western fantasy games such as "Warcraft" and "Diablo". Obviously, their chief designer Silent has a better understanding of western fantasy than some European and American designers. Even more profound, I don’t feel surprised at all that this company has another classic western fantasy work.”
"That's right, I'm still vaguely looking forward to it. In fact, it's better to count on Lei Ting Interactive Entertainment to expect GA to produce a better Western fantasy work. After all, everyone understands GA's urination, and Lei Ting Interactive Entertainment already has so many. A precedent for success!"
"But I can't see anything from this video! I'm definitely not worried about the world view. The company that can make "Warcraft" and "Diablo" will definitely not have a problem with the world view structure. It can't compare to "Knight Glory", it still depends on the gameplay!"
"I think this promotional video is very ordinary. It's obviously a mystification. There are many connotations in it, but it seems to be completely separated. From this video alone, I can't really feel the world background of the whole world."
"These will be clear when the game comes out!"
Obviously, the quality of the CG of this game is first-class, and it is completely worthy of the reputation of the Thunder Film Studio, but many people do not quite 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 themes. It can be said to be completely unique. It is very unrealistic to want to integrate the entire world view and put it in a few minutes of video.
And Chen Mo didn't want to make it clear at all, because a lot of the world view content is distributed in the collection elements of weapons, props and maps, and players need to slowly explore and make up their own minds.
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 was mentioned at the beginning, mainly to give players a basic concept, that is, how did this world come into being? Why do people spread fire? What kind of existence is the salary king?
After explaining these concepts clearly, we continued to enter the opening plot of "Dark Souls 3".
Of course, Chen Mo didn't explain this matter too clearly, including the details of the Sun King Gwen, the Witch, the Tomb King Nite, and the White Dragon Sith. Prepare for the launch of Dark Souls 1-related content.
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 game Chen Mo is going to play next started 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 physics engine of the Pangu system, and it is also a VR game.
At the same time, from the perspective of the world view, the proper dark wind, and in a sense, this world is more desperate than the world of "Diablo"!
Because the world of "Diablo" at least still has a lot of angels that oppose demons. Although 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 lot of monsters around those cities, there are at least some living villagers in the cities.
But judging from this video of Dark Souls, especially the second half of the video, basically no normal creatures are seen...
The pot-bearer prowler dressed as a reptile, the muddy Eldridge, the giant Yum with a kitchen knife...
That is to say, the watchers of the abyss, the Franken Undead Squad, look like normal people, but they also have low brims, which is obviously not something to be messed with.
And the narration in the video also clearly said, "King Xin will definitely give up the throne." What does it mean to give up the throne?
The ashes without fire will come in one after another, and it seems that it is not clear whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. To say that they are "nameless, unpaid, and cursed undead" feels like a proper bad guy. Wouldn't it be just to fight them?
Judging from the video, the entire world of "Dark Souls" seems to be a hopeless world. Originally, everyone lived well under the condition of fire, but the fire is now going out, so what should we do?
Of course, this is all speculation by players, right and wrong.
However, such a world view setting has aroused the crazy pursuit of some dark players!
In fact, after Chen Mo launched "Diablo", some manufacturers followed suit and launched Diablo games, but none of them were as successful as "Diablo", and this genre is far from popular.
The gameplay is one aspect, and the world view is another aspect.
Because after "Diablo", this kind of Diablo game did not subvert the gameplay of the Diablo series, and there is no particularly obvious advantage after changing to a VR game, because the Diablo game 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 the depth of the plot are far worse, so there has been no better Diablo works on the market for a long time.
Many ashes players of the Diablo series are looking forward to Chen Mo to continue the sequel to the Diablo series, or to port "Diablo" to the VR platform.
But after all, Chen Mo has always been at ease, and no one knows what his next game will do.
Therefore, Diablo players look forward to the stars and the moon, and they have not been able to hope for "Diablo 2".
After seeing the promotional video of "Dark Soul" this time, although some Diablo players felt a little disappointed (after all, this game did not use Diablo's IP, and the hope of killing the big pineapple again was lost), but most Diablo players were disappointed. Players are still more excited.
It has been a long time since a good dark game work appeared on the market. "Dark Soul" was personally designed by Chen Mo, and the quality is definitely not bad.
And from the opening video, the world view structure of the whole world is absolutely great, and the only thing that is uncertain now is how the gameplay will be played.
Many fans of "Diablo" have already decided that even if Chen Mo eats his own money, stirs up some cold rice, and optimizes the gameplay of Diablo itself, they can accept it.
No way, some die-hard fans just make do with it.
But what they didn't know was that this time Chen Mo would bring them a big surprise.
...or startled.
