Chapter 386 Naughty Cat, You Also Play This?

The gaming industry in January has been in a stage of one wave after another.

Players are still bombarding Souni for the shitty game.

Then there is news from the uncle party.

[My uncle is in Souni. There is an inside story behind the failure of "Seven Days Later". The original game was not like this, but a plan from Lin Mo was used, and it became like this after the modification.]

This post attracted the attention of many people.

Conspiracy theories always attract attention.

But this post obviously did not have many people believe.

[Are you sick? How can your Souni first-party studio get Lin Mo's plan? Biting a lighter when there is nothing to do]

[It's so funny, Lao Xue mentioned it in the live broadcast and someone really believed it. Do you think Lin Mo is stupid? Would he give such an important thing to others? ]

[Are you sick or is Lin Mo sick? Would he help the enemy with a plan? Where is the logic? ]

[What level of Lin Mo's game is it that "Seven Days Later" can be a hit? Outrageous]

Even this news was reposted on the Internet.

It was also criticized.

Except for a few people, no one believed it.

The person who posted this was also confused and could not even explain it. He could only swallow it.

Although it was outrageous, it was the fact!

Songni also swallowed this matter silently.

What to do!

Should he come out to explain that he was fooled? He spent a lot of money to buy a problematic plan that Lin Mo didn't want?

And then he changed his game according to it? And then it failed due to a big problem?

Can't say it, even if he is beaten to death.

Songni is a listed company.

After saying it, investors will think that the leadership of this company has a problem with their brains and lose confidence in it.

The game failed, and the problem is already very serious.

Can't make any more trouble.

The most direct impact is that the refund rate has skyrocketed.

Merchants who stocked up a large amount of physical discs of "Seven Days Later" have suffered huge losses.

Players who didn't open the package were all thankful that they could get a refund.

On the second-hand platform, the limited edition console after seven days also plummeted rapidly.

The price is not much more expensive than the normal Playsquare.

Souni saw it and was anxious.

It is impossible to complete the closed loop of such a huge industry by relying on Souni's strength.

It must rely on third parties and distributors.

This wave has caused the partners to lose a lot of money.

There is no doubt that they should be more cautious in dealing with Souni-related businesses in the future.

The loss is not small.

Needless to say, this game.

All the money was lost.

It even triggered a series of changes.

Many people in Souni retreated behind the scenes because of this. Güler, director of the Little Devil Studio, resigned and announced that he would set up his own studio in the future.

Many people even laughed secretly.

The sky of game consoles is about to change.

The energy of the giant hard company is on the acquisition case.

Souni's ambitious masterpiece has failed again.

As long as the next game of Switch is not a big deal, it can basically be announced that the game console market will enter an era of three-way division from now on.

It is approaching the winter vacation.

Many players who are planning to buy game consoles recently are also in a state of hesitation.

Which one to buy?

Playsquare? The reputation is too bad, so I don’t want to buy it.

At this time, Naughty Cat’s official Twitter and Weibo simultaneously released a poster, giving an answer to many players who are waiting and watching.

The main body of the poster is black and white.

The left side is pitch black, and the Chinese version of the poster says "The Last of Us" and the English version says "The Last of Us".

Further to the right, the pure black background gradually turns gray.

There are two people.

A little girl about 14 years old holding a gun, and a middle-aged man with half of his face hidden in the shadows holding a revolver.

The accompanying text is also very simple, with only a date.

1.23

The comments of the players below exploded instantly.

[Fuck! ! New game! ! ]

[Finally waited for you! ! Half a year, almost half a year, how come you just released a new game! 】

[What type? Shooting game? You can always trust Naughty Cat's shooting game]

It seems to be to answer the players' questions.

Within a few minutes, a video was uploaded to the official account both at home and abroad.

Players couldn't wait to click in and watch it.

Then, PTSD struck.

In the video.

The sun shines into the house through the dense ivy outside the window.

It's a mess.

Dusty furniture, broken mirrors, peeling wallpaper.

There are bloodstains on the wall.

On the ground, there is a corpse.

[Wait, no way? End of the world theme? ]

[No way, don't scare me]

A sound of footsteps.

A little girl ran past the corpse and met a middle-aged man.

It was the two people on the poster.

The man easily killed an enemy and greeted the little girl.

The little girl was calm beyond her age. Not only was she not afraid of the corpse, but she also naturally went up to loot the spoils.

But the sound of fighting also attracted some people.

Or rather, some monsters.

There were some disgusting things attached to their bodies, and the things on their heads looked like plants and mushrooms.

At the same time, there were spots and lumps on their skin.

Although they look a bit strange, one word can better summarize these monsters.

Zombies.

Next, there was a wonderful battle.

However, the players could not focus on the battle at all.

[Damn, what did I see? Zombies? Doomsday? Two people? No way]

[Is Naughty Cat paying tribute to Souni? No way]

[No, please]

[Forget it, whoever wants to buy it this time can buy it, I am a coward]

[Me too, I have a trauma]

However, in addition to the players with PTSD, some players are seriously analyzing it.

[This promotional video is equivalent to white promotion, there is almost no information, just showing some CG]

[This style of promotion usually hides things, and the hidden things are usually big]

[Please, don’t hide it, I’m scared, just tell me what kind of story it is? ]

It’s no wonder that the players are panicking.

It’s really because of the "beads and jades" of "Seven Days Later" before, the players were scared.

Many people bought the game, but fortunately the disc was on the way to the mailing time and it exploded, so they could get a refund.

The worst were the victims who bought the digital version.

Before the anger of these victims subsided, another game with a very similar theme came out.

How could they not panic?

And they were all in two teams, and the art style was a bit similar.

Naughty Cat's new work, for the first time, was embroiled in some controversy before it was released and there were no water armies.

The incident has been fermenting for almost a week.

Xiaobai has not recovered for a whole week.

Because he has always had a strong sense of substitution, he likes story-based games very much.

The story-based games he played before were some good and some bad, and the quality varied.

But as long as they really tell the story seriously, there are always points that can touch the heart.

This is the first time I have felt physically uncomfortable playing a game.

I have the urge to vomit.

I haven't broadcast for a week, and fans are also very concerned.

In the member group.

[Is Xiaobai broadcasting today? A domestic game was released, I really want to watch it]

[I don't know, it is said that he is still feeling unwell]

[Damn, this stupid game "Seven Days Later", the thing I regret most is staying up all night to watch this game]

[Is it as miserable as me? I finished it, also staying up all night]

[Naughty Cat has released a new game announcement! The name of the game is "The Last of Us"]

And posted a video in the group.

[Will Xiaobai broadcast it? Naughty Cat's games are not supposed to be so disgusting]

[But this subject matter gives me some bad memories]

At this time.

Xiaobai was watching the chat in the group, without saying a word.

As you get older, it is inevitable that you will suffer from impotence due to video games.

At this time, there will always be a game that will make your condition worse.

Especially for anchors who use games as their job.

After that exhausting all-nighter, Xiaobai suddenly discovered something terrible.

It seems that he has lost his passion for games.

The condition suddenly worsened.

Even when he was stimulated by Seven Days Later, he would subconsciously feel physically uncomfortable when he saw someone asking him to play this game or that game.

"Hey, this is my job."

Xiaobai let out a sigh of relief.

It has been a week since the broadcast was suspended.

It is impossible to drag it on.

After all, there is still a contract, and he still has to rely on this to make money to support his family.

Five years ago, he married his girlfriend, and now his daughter is four years old.

For himself and his family, he has to bite the bullet and continue playing.

"Hey, broadcast it, what else can I do?"

A bitter smile.

He sent a message in the group for the first time in a long time.

[A little white: Thank you for your concern. I can't broadcast it during this period due to physical reasons. On the day of the release of "The Last of Us", I will broadcast this game live. Stay tuned]

[Fuck, boss, you are resurrected? ]

[Take good care of yourself, we will wait for you to come back]

Before the game is released.

The time for publicity is very tight, and no information is revealed.

I only know that it is a doomsday theme, with certain survival elements and a linear process.

Even the characters only have information about the middle-aged man Joel on the poster.

The little girl next to him has only one name, Ellie.

There is very little information.

On the day of the game's release.

Xiaobai sat in front of the computer at the agreed time.

The agreed start time had passed, but he just couldn't click the start button.

He took several deep breaths and was about to start the broadcast.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

"Dad!"

He lowered his head, and a smile appeared on his sad face.

"Hey, what's wrong, baby?"

Xiaodouding had an innocent smile on his face and said sweetly: "Dad, eat fruit."

As he said that, he took an apple bigger than her fist from behind.

It was unwashed.

Xiaobai looked surprised, but didn't mind. He took it and took a bite with a smile.

"Dad, don't frown, eat sweet."

Xiaodouding is only in kindergarten now, and some of her words are not very clear.

Xiaobai knows what his daughter means.

Eating sweet will make you feel good.

After chewing the fruit in his mouth and swallowing it, he touched his daughter's black and smooth hair.

As if hearing the noise here, a woman trotted over from outside the door.

"Lingling, don't disturb Dad's work. Mom will read you a story."

"Okay!"

Xiaobai smiled and shook his head to his wife to indicate that he was fine, and received an encouraging smile.

After a small episode, he finally had a sincere smile on his face.

Start broadcasting!

"Brothers, good morning! I apologize first. I was not feeling well some time ago and took a break. But I am back to full health!"

[Damn, Xiaobai, you are finally back. I can't watch it without you]

[The first person in history to get sick from playing games, Souni is really good]

[Today is the game of Naughty Cat, I shouldn't get sick]

Seeing the concern of the barrage, Xiaobai smiled and joked: "Yeah, I almost vomited from playing. To be honest, I have a psychological shadow. But Lin Mo has not let me down, only beyond my expectations."

Because of the long time of leave.

The rest of this month will be hard, otherwise the live broadcast time will not be enough.

It is also a game unlocked at midnight.

Xiaobai's plan is

to stay up all night!

The beginning of the picture.

In the dark room, a little girl was sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and was awakened by the sound of a phone call.

Joel walked into the house, talking on the phone in a low voice.

Joel was talking to his brother Tommy, and it could be heard that he had a big problem at work.

Xiaobai asked curiously: "Is this the girl on the poster? It seems not?"

Obviously not.

Because the girl's name is Sarah, Joel's daughter.

It can be seen that the relationship between father and daughter is very good.

Today is Joel's birthday.

The caring little cotton jacket gave a gift, a watch, when the time was about to pass midnight.

Seeing this, Xiaobai couldn't help but smile.

This reminded him of his own little bean.

Although the house was shabby, it was very warm.

Strong father, lovely daughter.

Sarah fell asleep on the sofa.

I don't know how long it took, when she was woken up by the phone, she was already lying in the bedroom.

It was her uncle, Tommy, Joel's brother, who called.

Tommy was eager to find Joel, but the phone suddenly stopped.

The atmosphere changed from the warmth just now to a little weird.

Then Xiaobai found that he could control the character, and the one he controlled was this little girl named Sarah.

There are many interactive things in the room.

There is a birthday card that he forgot to give to Joel, a photo of Joel and Tommy when they were young, and a photo of Sarah wearing an Argentina jersey and her father on the green field.

Sarah walked out of the room.

The warm light in the dark room is different from the dark outside, which has a gloomy feeling.

While looking for Joel, you can also find an expired newspaper.

[Mysterious infection causes a 300% surge in hospitalized patients]

[The Food and Drug Safety Administration is investigating crops that may be contaminated by mold nationwide]

[Police announcement: A woman went crazy and killed her husband and three people]

See the content in the newspaper.

[Mold? Could it be that Ethan ran out to make trouble again?]

[You went to the wrong channel before]

Walking into Joel's bedroom, the TV was on and the host was broadcasting the latest news.

".The infected will show stronger aggression. Wait, there's a riot behind!"

At the same time, there were soldiers shouting at the host to leave.

Then, after a burst of explosions, the TV lost signal.

At the same time, from the glass window, you can see the explosion in the city center.

Outside the house, the dog barked non-stop, as if it had seen something terrifying.

The police car kept whizzing past the house, and the sirens were very piercing.

Just when the feeling of uneasiness accumulated to a certain extent, Sarah was a little scared.

Joel finally came back.

But he seemed to have seen something terrible.

Instead of hugging his daughter, he found the pistol at home.

"Has anyone come in?"

"No, who would come? Dad, you scared me a little. What's wrong?"

"It's Cooper, they seem to be sick."

Sarah was about to ask what the disease was.

Suddenly, a bloody man hit the glass door, leaving bloody handprints.

Blood dripped down.

Then the glass door was broken.

A purple-faced "man" rushed in, roaring like a beast and rushing towards Joel.

Fortunately, he had a gun in his hand, so he could kill him.

Seeing that inhuman thing, Joel knew.

This world is different.

[Zombie virus broke out? No, should I say fungal infection broke out? ]

[This is more like the setting of fungal infection, parasitic in the human body like Cordyceps. Instead of turning into an alien like in a certain series of Naughty Cats! ]

[Resident Evil:? ]

The barrage at this time was still full of laughter.

Joel's younger brother Tommy finally came over, and the three of them drove to escape the city.

Through the conversation, we learned that.

Half of the people in the city are crazy.

Because of a weird "parasite".

We must escape.

There is no signal on the mobile phone, and no sound on the radio.

The world is in chaos.

On the road, there are police cars, fleeing people, burning houses, and crashed vehicles everywhere.

A passerby was injured and asked for help from the car the three were riding in, but Joel cruelly let the car drive away.

He didn't stop.

However, the road leading out of the city had already been blocked.

A driver got out of the car and yelled at the traffic jam ahead.

Then, a zombie suddenly appeared, knocked down the driver, and began to eat like crazy.

"Turn around and run!"

The city is in chaos.

There are zombies everywhere attacking people, tearing at flesh and blood.

There were damaged cars everywhere blocking the way.

In the chaos, a car that was panicking hit the road and knocked the car over.

He could only abandon the car and run away.

Xiaobai has seen similar scenes in the comics of Seven Days Later.

But when I actually played it in person, I couldn't help but get nervous.

To make matters worse, Sarah's leg was injured.

Joel holds Sarah and Tommy holds the gun.

He ran out like crazy from the chaotic city.

From time to time, people were bitten and killed by zombies on the road.

Killings, explosions, flames rising into the sky.

The bustling city was destroyed.

Tommy resolutely stayed behind for the sake of Joel and Sarah.

After traveling through half of the town, Joel finally arrived at the outskirts with his daughter in his arms and saw the road leading to the outside world.

Just when the zombies were catching up with Joel, it was at the critical moment.

Soldiers guarding the road opened fire.

I thought I could finally take my daughter to a safe place, but the soldier pointed his gun at Joel.

"Stand there, don't move!"

Joel explained desperately: "Calm down, we are not infected."

The soldiers asked their superiors for instructions on what to do, but the order they received was: shoot without mercy.

A series of gunshots made the night noisy.

Fortunately, Tommy escaped in time and killed the soldier with one shot.

However, Xiaobai and the audience did not wait to rejoice that Joel and Tommy were safe.

A painful low groan reached his ears.

The bullet missed Joel, but hit another little girl.

Sarah was shot.

"Baby, I'm here. Hold on, hold on, please. No, no!"

Blood stained her clothes red.

The little girl cried and wanted to hug her father, but her strength was getting weaker and weaker.

Then, there was no movement.

The watch that was a birthday gift was also broken, just like Sarah’s lost life.

Joel was left crying in pain.

Xiaobai was stunned.

This this.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the apple he just took a bite of on the table.

As a father, I can't stand this.

"Naughty cat, do you want to play this too?"
