Chapter 540 Beta Version Opens

One year later.

Early on Saturday morning, Zhuge Jun and Hou Ji came to the offline experience store of Ni Tian Tang as usual and occupied their two favorite window seats.

"Great, I got the golden place again, so happy!"

Zhuge Jun was very happy, because occasionally these two seats would be occupied by other people.

But in general, the experience store of Ni Tian Tang has basically never been particularly crowded, which is still a good comment.

It's not that the experience store of Ni Tian Tang is unpopular, but mainly because the stores are opened quickly.

As long as there are enough stores, the speed of fullness will not catch up with me.

In this year, the experience stores of Ni Tian Tang began to be fully rolled out, from first-tier cities to second-tier cities.

Not only that, Ni Tian Tang also cooperated more and more with offline Internet cafes and video game stores, which also played a certain diversion role.

As for the imperial capital, the number of experience stores is even more considerable.

However, compared with the offline stores that are in full swing, the development of Ni Tian Tang in terms of games can be said to be in a state of stagnation.

For a whole year, no new works have been released.

This is obviously quite difficult for players to accept.

In fact, this is a very normal situation in the game industry. The development cycle of many game companies' masterpieces is three or four years. It is normal that there is no news during the development period.

Players have become accustomed to waiting eagerly, waiting from one trailer to another, until the flowers are withered.

But Against the Heaven is an outlier, and has always been famous for its extreme project management ability and development efficiency.

When it is fast, a game is released in three months, and when it is slow, it is only half a year.

Over time, the tastes of players have been spoiled. If they don't play a new game of Against the Heaven for a period of time, they feel uncomfortable all over, as if they have a withdrawal reaction.

And this year is also eager for everyone.

Zhuge Jun is naturally one of them.

He tried to gank Gu Fan in the experience store many times, wanting to ask about the new game, but he never got the chance.

Such a complete disappearance naturally caused a lot of rumors to spread on the Internet.

Some people have spread rumors that Nitian has disbanded and fled. It is said that the investor and the CEO had a big fight at the meeting, and even the chair was knocked flying.

But everyone knows that this is a pure joke.

For a company as awesome as Nitian, the boss and the investor must be close and cooperate well. How could there be a big conflict? It's impossible to think about it!

Gradually, various rumors converged into a truth that seemed more reliable: Nitian is holding back a big one!

Of course, it is said to be a collection of various rumors, but in fact there are still many reliable official news as evidence.

First of all, the fans of the liver emperor confirmed that he really didn't live broadcast anymore, and the production of mods has been completely stopped.

Even in private, someone asked him about his recent situation in the fan group, and he basically didn't respond, just saying that he signed a confidentiality agreement and couldn't talk much.

In addition, the most important hammer: Nitian released a pre-heating promotional video for the new game, revealing two key information:

The new game is called "Endless Fantasy Legend 2", and it will be developed by the liver emperor as the main planner.

When this news was first announced, it also caused some controversy.

The expected uproar did not appear, mainly because this news really looked too fake. Even if it was released by the official Against Heaven, it made people feel that it was a prank and had no credibility at all.

If the day of release was April 1, it would basically be confirmed, but unfortunately it was not.

Those who think this news is fake news have good reasons:

How could Against Heaven go to such great lengths to make a krypton gold mobile game? Is his brain out? And let the liver emperor be the main planner, does he understand it?

And even if it is a mobile game, why use the IP of "Endless Fantasy Legend" to make it?

In short, this news is very outrageous, and this is a game that Against Heaven has been developing for more than a year, so there are even fewer players who believe it is really a mobile game.

Until today, this special day: Against Heaven has announced a week in advance that "Endless Fantasy Legend 2" will release a preliminary internal test version, and issued invitation codes to a group of loyal fans of Against Heaven!

This news was a bombshell to the players who had waited for a year, and it instantly caused an uproar.

Zhuge Jun and Hou Ji, as loyal fans of the game Against Heaven, were also lucky enough to get the invitation code for the internal test, so they naturally couldn't miss this opportunity to try out a new game.

"Hey, it's really called "Endless Fantasy Legend 2", isn't it a joke?

"Damn, it's really multi-platform interoperable, damn, you can play it on your phone!"

As soon as he opened the official website of the game, Zhuge Jun couldn't hold it back.

This game is obviously different from the previous games of Against Heaven. The previous games were basically posted on the official game platform, but this time they set up an official website.

Do you say that this is because it is only an internal test version, so they set up a website?

That doesn't make sense, because the official game platform also allows the release of trial versions of games.

At this point, it seems that there is only one explanation for this practice: because this game itself is to be available on all platforms, it will be more convenient to integrate the entrances of these platforms into the official website.

Seeing the huge artistic characters [Download for Android platform] and [Download for IOS platform] on the official website, Zhuge Jun could not explain how he felt. It was really difficult.

But if you continue to browse the official website, there is more embarrassing information.

""Ascension"? "Blood of Lies"? These IPs will also appear in the game?"

Zhuge Jun rubbed his eyes, almost thinking that he had seen it wrong.

There is some basic game promotional information on the official website, including original background paintings and some character silhouettes.

There are two very familiar silhouettes among them. They are clearly Li Huanzhen in "Ascension" and the hunter wearing a three-cornered hat in "Blood of Lies".

Although they are just silhouettes, these two images are so impressive that it is difficult not to recognize them.

However, compared to the character in the original game, the edges of this silhouette look more rounded.

This is because after the two characters were moved to "Endless Fantasy Legend 2", they both made improvements in the style of painting. They changed from the original realistic painting style to a more cartoonish style, with fewer polygons and a natural angular look. It also becomes mellow.

It's just that this level of detail is obviously not something ordinary players such as Zhuge Jun can see.

“What on earth is Nitian going to do!

"It's just a mobile game. As for bringing all my best IPs to the platform?

"Those who don't know better think this is some kind of internal son-in-law project!"

Zhuge Jun was simply unbelievable.

Logically speaking, mobile games are not worthy of being put on the table for dinner.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

And pulling all the classic IPs to support a new game often means that this new game has the status of a son within the company, and the company must make it popular regardless of the cost or resources.

If the game is a large-scale production, this operation will look more reasonable, but if it is a mobile game, it will be a little... abstract.

"Forget it, why are you thinking so much? Let's go and take a look first.

"It's never advisable to judge a game based on first impressions."

Zhuge Jun repeatedly convinced himself not to have any stereotypes about Nitiantian's games.

Because Nitiantian often does some big jobs that are more defiant than the stereotype.

When entering the game, the first thing played is an opening CG, which can also be seen as a promotional CG.

Along with the melodious melody, a vast wilderness comes into view.

The green grass is dotted with a few small flowers of various colors. In the distance, you can vaguely see towering mountains and rushing rivers...

Wait, why is the sense of déjà vu so strong?

So familiar!

Oh yes, isn't this the promotional video for "Endless Fantasy Legend 1"?

Zhuge Jun still remembers the general content of the promotional video at that time. In short, the small animals in the forest were disturbed, and then a cartoon-style brave man climbed up the mountain. The camera slowly rotated around the brave man, taking in the surrounding scenery.

I have to say, that scene was still very shocking at the time.

The opening CG of "Endless Fantasy Legend 2" is very similar. If there is any major difference...

It seems like the picture is just a little blurry?

No, to be precise, it’s not blurry, but there are some differences in style.

Although the original "Endless Fantasy Legend" also had a cartoon style, it was run on consoles and computer platforms after all, so it looked more detailed and sharp, and the characters had more polygons;

"Endless Fantasy Legend 2" is obviously for the configuration of mobile phones, making the picture closer to cartoon style.

So much so that even when playing on a computer, subtle changes can be seen.

Of course, Ni Tiantian does not blindly lower the picture quality. It is actually difficult to say which of the two styles looks better. Although "Endless Fantasy Legend" did slightly lower the configuration after optimization, it is more unique in terms of color and picture performance.

In short, I can barely do it without deducting points.

But the scene immediately after was different.

Originally, the brave man jumped down from the top of the mountain, then spread his hang glider, mounted the giant wolf, and prepared to fight the devil's cave in the center of the entire continent.

However, at this time, what appeared on the screen was the image of a brave man wearing a hood and whose gender could not be identified.

He did not jump directly from the hillside, but continued to stay on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance with some worry.

There, at the edge of the field of vision, there seemed to be a special fog dispersing.

Zhuge Jun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Oh? Does this mean that based on the original work, the map has been further expanded?"

"Endless Fantasy Legend 1" itself already has a huge continent. In the center is a terrifying devil's cave. Below is a bottomless fissure, and above is a towering black steel building, like a tearing sky. Magic sword.

As for the surroundings, there are various landforms.

But in general, it is still composed of green grassland and wooded forest, and the hot volcanic area only occupies a small part of the edge.

However, at the edge of the entire map at that time, there was not a pure sea, but a wall of air composed of vast fog.

Of course, due to terrain restrictions, it is basically impossible for players to just walk in front of the fog.

However, as the fog dissipated at this time, a larger world naturally appeared in front of the players.
