Chapter 390 Global Praise

"Brothers, I will probably live broadcast The Last of Us for the next few days. Challenge the highest difficulty, collect all, and analyze the plot. Also, I will make a video to talk about why this is a masterpiece."

"Thanks to the brothers who have been watching all night and have not slept until now. You have worked hard, and you should rest soon."

"Brothers who have never played the game but want to buy it, you must buy a copy to experience it. This is really a rare masterpiece!"

"Okay, today's live broadcast ends here, I'm going to log off first."

The game has been cleared, and Xiaobai has also been offline.

The fermentation of word-of-mouth has just begun.

After all, those who play the game all night are a minority among the overall base of players.

The vast majority of players just opened the game during the day to experience it.

By the third day, most of the first batch of players had cleared the game.

All-round praise.

In the player ratings, it is either 10 points or 9 points.

The media ratings, the worst is 4.5 points, or because some points are deducted for the bloody violence that is too real.

What surprised many players is that.

BGN, which has always been unhappy with Naughty Cat, also gave it a high score.

x-on:Electronic Art Exhibition: It’s a pity that I can’t personally hand over the annual best trophy for such an excellent game

Electronic Art Exhibition’s position is very clear, and players are not surprised.

This is an award ceremony sponsored by Naughty Cat.

Is it fair not to praise Naughty Cat’s game?

It’s just that the rules were set when the Electronic Art Exhibition was established.

Naughty Cat’s game will not participate in the competition, leaving the applause and cheers to others.

Otherwise, other game manufacturers have no chance at all.

Somewhat surprisingly,

x-on:WGA Awards Ceremony: The suspense ended early

The influence of WGA today is not as great as before, and the relationship between it and Naughty Cat, a company that the game industry absolutely cannot avoid, is somewhat awkward.

In such a situation, it can only mean one thing.

All the judges were moved.

Let's look at the game big Vs.

x-on:A Little White: The undisputed strongest masterpiece, a perfect combination of sound, picture and plot, an excellent work that players should not miss

x-on:Lao Xue loves playing games: Do you still need to think about Naughty Cat's games? Go!

x-on:Wang Zhicheng, who can't make games: If anyone doubts the claim of the Ninth Art, let him play "The Last of Us"

Even among the waves of praise, there are some strange things.

x-on:P Station: Collecting "The Last of Us" secondary works

The comments below are hilarious.

[What is the Last of Us? ? ? 】

【This is to circumvent copyright, the legal department of Naughty Cat is not just for free】

【Fuck, are there so many perverts in this world】

From Bilibili to short videos, from players to anchors to the media.

Don't hesitate to give applause.

But in the process, you have to torture them.

【What about Souni? Come and learn how to make games! See what a plot-driven game is】

【Even so, some people say that Souni modified the game with the plan from Lin Mo. I just want to ask if this is on the same level? 】

【There are always some brain-dead fans who like to gild their favorite games, and even have to come up with a self-destructing truck】

【Compared to that, Seven Days Later is just a pile of thick thanks】

Previously, the uncle party who broke the news had deleted the post and ran away.

There is no way, I can't stand it.

There is no difference without comparison.

Compared with the shit in the gameplay, the carelessness in the story is even more infuriating.

As for Souni, it was a dumb loss.

Ito Makoto swore secretly.

This matter must not be known to the outside world.

Absolutely not!

Sonik can't afford to lose this person.

Especially after the game was beaten.

"Oh, I regret it."

Ito Makoto looked much older and sighed.

If he had known the quality of The Last of Us earlier, he would have been scared to death and dared not to confront it head-on.

At the same time, he could also see some clues.

If nothing unexpected happened, the plan he bought at a high price might really be from Lin Mo's hand.

Recall the content carefully.

The two games have many similarities, and even some plots can be connected by changing the name.

Not to mention the gameplay.

Seven Days Later is simply a lower-level replacement for The Last of Us, or a youth version.

The popularity of the game gradually spread out of the circle.

The first lesson for game developers is to understand that no matter how good a game is, it is difficult to attract everyone.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is called the best in the world, but there is no way, many players just don't like this type of game.

No matter how good the game quality is, they will not touch it.

In particular, the plot of this game is relatively weak.

Many players attach great importance to the plot and sense of substitution.

Not all players like the feeling of being too free in an open world, but they just like to complete the mission goals designed by the game.

There used to be no such high-quality games on Switch.

But now, "The Last of Us" has appeared, filling the gap in the field of exclusive games and making the relatively short board of the barrel longer.

The most obvious thing is that the sales of the Switch console have soared.

In the week after the release of "The Last of Us", the sales volume was 230% of the original.

This is just the beginning, far from the end.

Because of the passage of time, the players' tap water and word of mouth are the most terrible.

After the game is released, the developer will greatly reduce or simply stop the promotion.

Word of mouth can make a game still popular after many years.

Whenever you look at the game sales list, a certain word-of-mouth masterpiece will not have a very good position, but will always hover between the top ten and the top twenty. The number is quite terrifying after accumulating over time.

As the word of mouth goes out of the circle, many non-game player groups have also developed a strong interest in the game.

Netflix, which had a good cooperation experience with Naughty Cat, also extended an olive branch and wanted to cooperate in the project of adapting the game into a TV series.

With such exposure, it also attracted many other players to join the pit.

Seeing that the enemy was so terrible, Makoto Ito simply gave up the impulse to kill Switch in this generation of consoles.

It can't be done anymore.

The general trend has been set.

The pattern of three-way division is inevitable.

In the console wars of previous years, the consoles of the Big Hard and the Soni were often preheated long in advance and released in the same year.

Even if the time is staggered, it will be at most one year.

This time, the new generation of consoles is expected to be launched at the end of next year.

At that time, Switch is in its prime.

At that time, it is the time for Makoto Ito to decide the outcome.

Think about Naughty Cat and then think about Big Hard.

Makoto Ito gritted his teeth.

"If I can win this time, I can win the next time! But you, the waste of Big Hard, have some action!!"

No one knows what measures Big Hard is going to take.

But fans who often follow game news and Baofeng Entertainment know that both companies have encountered some troubles recently because of the acquisition.

They are suing the two antitrust agencies, FTC and CMA.

Those who understand the efficiency of Western work know it.

The two major agencies have also begun to disgust people at the same time.

Today they are timid, and tomorrow they are stubborn.

Today they agree, and tomorrow they disagree.

Today the materials are passed, and tomorrow they say there is a lack of evidence to support.

Since January, the process of pulling the saw and pulling the saw has lasted for several months.

From heavy snow, to spring flowers, and then to the hot summer.

During this period.

Baofeng Entertainment has also worked hard to complete the gambling agreement.

Two of the three mountains collapsed, but fortunately they got a large amount of funds by splitting the IP of the Road to Heaven.

"Cosmic Rift", a teenage MMORPG, has become the last hope of Baofeng Entertainment.

The biggest feature of old games or word-of-mouth games is that there are countless tap water.

The cost of publicity is relatively low and the effect is relatively good.

Even though many players have not played Rift of the Universe for a long time, the new expansion is coming out soon, and they will talk about it from time to time when chatting and drinking with friends who fought together in the past.

But many players will mention one thing when chatting.

"This year's gaming circle seems a bit dull?"

Not only players feel this way, the media also have the same doubts.

Electronic Arts has been in a slump, and has experienced many changes and office politics internally. It has gradually changed from being as productive as a sow to being a boutique, and is still in the pain period.

At present, it is still digesting previous projects, and the launch of boutique projects is far away.

After the sudden death of Soni in "Seven Days Later", although Playsquare consoles are still the leader, they cannot stop the trend of three-way division of the world.

It is obvious that they are saving their strength for the new round of console wars.

The giant hardware company is seeking the banner of subscription services, and is fighting with two major institutions for the acquisition case.

These companies' actions are very small, and everyone can understand.

But the most surprising thing is Naughty Cat.

After the great success of "The Last of Us", it actually stopped.

During this period, some small and medium-sized works were launched, but none of them were from Lin Mo.

Not even the work of the core members.

The sales and reputation are not bad, but they are not leading the trend and making people shine.

Some players lamented that this may be the worst year for the game lineup in the past ten years.

But there are also media comments.

It’s not that the game lineup is the worst, but that the production capacity of Naughty Cat has been significantly lower in the past two years.

The outside world is very curious.

Lin Mo, this legendary figure in the game industry.

What is he doing?

It’s September now, and there hasn’t been a single work for eight months.

This is obviously not in line with common sense.

Even many players are a little scared.

Is he going to retire?

Many news are rampant.

Some say that Lin Mo and the core members of Naughty Cat are holding back a big one.

Some say that Lin Mo has run out of ideas and the new project is not going smoothly.

Some say that Naughty Cat is being investigated.

There are even people saying that Lin Mo has an illegitimate child and is solving some trouble.

At this time, the person in the center of public opinion is trying a game.

"Mr. Lin, how do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?" A voice came from above in the empty pure white space.

Lin Mo closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and said: "The connection effect is good, there is no discomfort or signs of disconnection from the neural connection."

"Okay, demonstrate according to the scheduled project. Project one, creative test, start."

As soon as the voice fell, the pure white room in front of him expanded infinitely.

At the same time, black lines appeared on the pure white walls, floors, and ceilings, dividing the world into small pieces.

Then the white pieces turned over.

The sky turned blue, and the ground under the feet became land. There were mountains in the distance and rivers nearby.

However, they were all in mosaic style.

Lin Mo's mind moved, and a material selection column appeared in front of him. After selecting brick wall, he moved the tool in his hand.

On the ground in front of him, a mosaic-style square brick of a brick wall appeared.

Continue to use the tool.

Bricks are connected into a line, then become a wall, and then the roof is sealed, turning into a house.

A torch is placed in the house, and the dim environment is illuminated.

Place another bed and lie on it.

You will feel like you are lying on it.

"Okay, project 1 has passed the test. Next is project 2, the five senses test, start."

The block flips again.

This time, Lin Mo appears in a kitchen. There is also a kitchen next to it, but there is an AI-controlled character standing inside.

The picture is no longer in mosaic style, but in cartoon animation style.

With the command "start".

Lin Mo and the AI ​​character opposite the truck began to cooperate to make dishes.

AI needs to hand Lin Mo the ingredients according to the food requested by the customer, and Lin Mo needs to process the ingredients into dishes and serve them.

Lin Mo needs to hand the plate back to AI, wash the plate and return it to Lin Mo.

The soup makes a gurgling sound in the pot, and bubbles continue to appear.

When AI washes the plate, the sound of the bowl and chopsticks colliding is crisp and pleasant.

Put the pepper on the fish slices and pour hot oil on it. The freshness of the fish and the taste of the pepper stimulated by the hot oil are mixed together, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Take a bite, the fish is tender and fresh, and the spicy flavor is appetizing.

The next dish is curry rice.

You can clearly feel the different sizes of potatoes in your hand. When you cut them, the chopping board will vibrate differently with the frequency of the knife.

When boiling the juice, the spoon can feel a slight blockage in the pot.

"Project 2 test passed. Next, project 3, hot weapon combat test, start."

The kitchen disappeared, replaced by a scene called Quanfu Bank.

Lin Mo plays a fully armed gangster who comes to rob a bank.

Put up a sign of suspended service and walk into the bank.

Without saying a word, he fired a burst of bullets at the ceiling.

You can feel the recoil of the submachine gun in your hand, the smell of gunpowder and the clanging bullet shells.

A disobedient security guard wanted to resist, and the AI ​​next to him fired without hesitation.

With a gunshot, the security guard fell straight down.

The security uniform on his chest was instantly stained red with blood.

Where there are gangsters, there are police.

A series of police cars rushed over with sirens blaring, and a fierce gunfight began.

In the end, the gangsters were annihilated.

"The last item, cold weapon combat test."

The scene in front of him changed again.

In the deep night, a town with Victorian Gothic architecture.

Crazy villagers, terrible werewolves, and the whispers of ancient gods.

Father Gascoigne is sometimes a man and sometimes a wolf.

The meat saw is sometimes light and flexible when it is closed together, and sometimes it is launched to attack.

Seeing the priest slashing with a knife, he flexibly pulled out his gun to fight back, and blood was everywhere when his internal organs were hit.

Even when he was slashed, he could still feel a slight pain.

"Zhou Yun, there is a problem with the pain feedback at the hit position. I was chopped when I was attacking. My arm was in front of my chest. I didn't feel anything in my arm, but I felt pain in my chest and there was a wound."

"Okay, I'll take note. I'll continue debugging. Is that all for today?"

"That's it."

As he spoke, Lin Mo switched out of the system interface and chose to exit the game. Everything in front of him became dark.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

This is something similar to a massage chair in a shopping mall, except that there are some special devices at the head position, which can just touch the head when lying down.

There is a semi-enclosed cover on the outside of the "chair", which retracts to the back after Lin Mo wakes up, allowing the person inside to stand up and walk out.

The chair is white with some blue embellishments, and the overall style looks very high-tech.

Get up from the seat.

Lin Mo yawned, then smiled and said: "Not bad, the process of playing games is like sleeping, and it really feels like playing games in a dream."

Zhou Yun nodded and said: "Just Mr. Lin. I still think it is more appropriate to call this thing a game chair. Why do you plan to call it a game cabin?"

"You don't understand, this is called sentiment." (End of this chapter)
