I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 237

c230 This time I want to see who else dares to say that I am unstable!

As the video continues to be released.

The second half of the trailer begins to demonstrate various gameplay methods in the game.

The emergence of each gameplay method made the discussion in the high-level conference room of Blizzard become a little quieter.

Facing a steep and narrow cliff, if the player wants to cross the canyon gap of tens of meters from this end of the mountain to reach the top of another mountain.

In addition to following the official small wooden bridge for normal passage.

Players can also stand on the edge of a cliff and make a big jump.

Of course, you can’t jump over it.

Link held up a small and cute paraglider in mid-air. It floated slowly in the wind and finally landed on the edge of the opposite mountain. It only took a short climb to reach the top of the opposite mountain.

In addition, you can also use an axe-type weapon to chop down a tree standing on the edge of a steep cliff toward the other side.

Watch quietly as the thick tree trunk collapses, supporting a single-plank bridge on both sides of the bank. Then you can safely reach the other side by stepping on the single-plank bridge.

It’s just a simple climb over the mountain, with three or four different route options.

As for fighting monsters, it’s even more complicated.

The continent of Hyrule is home to one of the most mainstream monster species, the pig-headed monster called Bokobulin.

Initially, during the presentation of the promotional video, Blizzard executives breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the gameplay looks relatively ordinary.

It’s still the traditional RPG monster-fighting genre.

Use a sword, an ax, or a branch to sign with the opponent.

It’s just after the trailer demonstrates the regular gameplay.

The next chore almost made the Blizzard executives’ eyes pop out…

In a small camp with several bokoblins.

The bokoblins sat around the campfire.

But in the demo screen, they sneaked around to the hillside behind them.

There, stood a rolling stone as tall as a person.

Link was seen pushing down the rolling stone with both hands.

“Boom!”

The huge rock slid down the slope and killed three Pokbulins on the spot!

“ah?”

“Can you still play like this?”

“WTF??”

The unexpected scene made the senior officials present involuntarily make a sound.

The reason why I am amazed is very simple.

This killing method is in a world that looks obviously fantastic, but uses physical mechanics that are closer to reality to kill monsters.

It will give people a subtle sense of déjà vu that breaks the dimensional wall, but after careful consideration, it feels very reasonable.

What happened to the monster?

Even if the BOSS is here today, you have to follow physics!

The weapon is indestructible, but it can bring players a dark and despicable sneak attack pleasure.

Besides, there are far more ways to kill monsters than this.

In subsequent demonstrations, the trailer also gave several ways of persecution.

Link used a telekinesis skill similar to retrieving objects from the air, grabbed an iron plate and moved the cat quietly behind Pokbulin, and then controlled the iron plate to rise into the air.

From the shadow cast by the iron plate refracted by the sun, its impact point can be inferred.

After calculating the distance, release the skill directly.

“Bang!”

A long iron plate fell from the sky and knocked the three pig heads away.

What shocked the Blizzard executives even more.

The damage this iron plate can inflict… is actually related to its floating height.

The higher the iron plate falls, the higher the damage caused.

This principle, which even children know in reality, can bring wonderful chemical reactions to players in games.

In addition, they can also detonate the powder barrels next to them.

And even though it is a small powder keg, it still provides detailed interpretations of classic science.

Wooden arrows will not work. You must use arrows with flames, which can hit the target with one hit and detonate the gunpowder barrel.

And if you hit the bokobulins with ice arrows, they will be frozen into ice blocks.

The setting of ice elemental skills to freeze enemies is actually not uncommon in games.

But the rich details shown in the “Zelda” trailer put Blizzard executives to shame.

The surface of the ice cube is smooth, so the coefficient of friction is small.

Therefore, Link can take out his big fan and gather his strength to whip up a strong wind, blowing the ice cubes directly into the stream nearby.

It can also kill Pokobulin instantly.

When other RPGs only think about how to make action effects more cool and level-up to be more enjoyable.

“Zelda” explains in the trailer how to make killing monsters rich and interesting.

It is true that a good game will have many points that attract players.

But fun is the biggest killer.

And these seem to be just the tip of the iceberg of the game’s content.

Interesting and rich elements are flashed one after another in a trailer of just three to four minutes with a boldness that is unmatched by other game manufacturers.

The bullet time triggered after accurately jumping back to avoid monster attacks allows Link to lunge in front of the monster and slash in rapid succession in a state where time is almost suspended.

After the shield deflects the enemy’s attack, it can also knock down the opponent’s weapon and pick up the weapon so that the opponent has no sword to use.

Just the right variety of brain-burning temple puzzle games.

There are green elves everywhere in Hyrule continent who make strange sounds like “ah ha ha”.

Go to the beach to fry fish with a bomb.

Skiing all the way down the snow-covered mountains on a shield.

Ride a sea lion across the desert.

The rapidly switching shots gradually stop flickering along with a lush forest with a slightly dreamy and hazy halo.

Under a thousand-year-old tree with cherry blossoms blooming all over the sky.

A slender silver-blue sword called the Exorcist Sword is inserted into the inverted triangular stone steps.

Wait until the moment Link pulls the sword out.

The blood moon covered the sky.

Disaster is coming!

This originally vibrant continent was eroded by the monster called Calamity Ganon, and the land gradually lost its vitality.

Fire burned the village.

Countless soldiers of the kingdom fell in a pool of blood.

The king also died in battle.

The camera turned.

A girl with blond hair and a blue dress appeared in the camera.

Her temperament is noble and elegant.

It’s Zelda, the princess of the kingdom of Hyrule.

But even though she is a princess, there is almost nothing she can do when facing powerful disaster monsters.

“Everything I’ve done so far… is of no use at all…” A weaker female voice interspersed into the screen.

There were two lines of tears on Zelda’s beautiful face. With a bit of despair, she looked back at the castle that had been eroded by the red-purple plague.

In the end, she fell into the boy’s arms covered in mud, wailing at the top of her lungs.

The young man drew out the exorcism sword from his back.

Faced with tens of thousands of approaching monsters.

He protected the princess behind him and took a step forward, his sword flashing with cold light.

He vows to defend this kingdom to the death!

Just when this high-burning scene of a last-ditch battle appeared.

The picture on the big screen suddenly went out.

The senior executives of Blizzard looked at each other before they could say anything.

The next moment.

Zelda’s thin and soft voice came from the high-end surround sound system in the room.

“Link… Link…”

“wake up……”

I don’t know how long it has been since the great war, and I don’t know if the war against Calamity Ganon was won.

The blond boy Link was currently in a sarcophagus in the cave. His eyes trembled slightly and then slowly opened.

He seemed to have lost his memory, looking around the environment in confusion, and then stood up from the sarcophagus.

Following the girl’s soft call, he walked towards the light outside the cave.

At this time, a soft and melodious piano soundtrack sounded.

Two crisp and clear scales that are repeated repeatedly start to sound from a subtle sound. As the keys jump faster and faster, the background music becomes more and more exciting.

Accompanied by the melodious cello that followed, as Link walked out of the cave, his eyes suddenly opened up.

Standing on the high platform, you can have a panoramic view of the vast Hyrule continent and the wonders of the mountains everywhere.

At this point, the promotional video comes to an end.

The name of the game slowly appeared in front of the big screen.

“ZELDA丨The Legend of Zelda”

…

quiet.

The whole blizzard was in the high-rise conference room.

Deathly silence.

It’s just a short three or four minute promotional video.

After watching it, everyone’s eyes couldn’t stop widening, with expressions of disbelief, amazement, or admiration on their faces.

These short three or four minutes… contain too much information! !

First of all, the collection element thrown out for the first time in the open world is itself a great weapon that allows players to kill time in the wild.

In addition, all buildings and scenes are almost barrier-free for interaction.

In a true sense, this game is given the strongest concept of ‘you can go anywhere, you can go anywhere’!

This high degree of freedom was actually something that Blizzard had not considered when developing “Continent of Gods”.

Although it is difficult to interact with the scene, it is not impossible to do it.

But if you want to achieve this step, you have to face a problem – after players can truly run around the world, will they still follow the route planned by your designer?

You know, the open world is already weakly guided, and the player is free to explore which area first.

As a result, you have made the remaining weak guidance even easier to be ignored.

For example, you would have discovered sooner or later along the road, but now that players can cross mountains and ridges, most paths will not follow the planned route.

This is messed up no matter how you think about it.

Therefore, Ready Player One dares to release this interactive mode.

This shows that they have extremely high confidence in the utilization rate of the game’s map scenes.

And let’s take a look at another core of “Zelda” released in the trailer.

This is even more amazing.

Mead originally understood a high degree of freedom.

That is, a high degree of freedom in player choice.

They can decide which area to go to and which monster to fight, just like in Elden.

You can choose to guard the big tree hard, or you can choose to bypass the opponent and develop first.

But the high degree of freedom shown in the trailer of “Zelda” is the high degree of freedom in gameplay.

Killing monsters is more than just switching to different weapon types.

Instead, it has a variety of wonderful gameplay tied to real physics.

Just to kill a mob, you have the ability to attack with normal weapons, use shield to eliminate enemies, push rocks to kill them, throw objects from high altitude to kill them, detonate gunpowder barrels to kill them, freeze them into ice blocks and push them into the water to drown them. There are various whimsical ways such as electric arrows touching water and being electrocuted to death.

This kind of gameplay is not to mention a group of naive and ignorant players.

Even a veteran from a major game company like me was a little moved after seeing this…

On top of that, there are also temple puzzles and a vast, multi-regional and exotic exploration journey.

Even towards the end of the trailer, the skills of the Four Heroes appeared on Link.

Each of those skills is more cool than the last, and each is more practical than the last.

honestly……

Meade even wanted to say: “If you don’t hurry up and put this game on the shelves, why are you waiting? I can’t even imagine how fun it will be when this game is put on the shelves! Please hurry up and take my fucking money!”.

But unfortunately, my butt cannot be bent.

After thinking for a moment.

“Bang!”

Meade slapped his hand on the table and said immediately.

“The publicity and distribution department will temporarily stop its activities.”

“This game… Judging from the quality of the trailer, our “Continent of Gods” basically has no qualifications to compete with it.”

Just a three-minute promotional video directly scared off the established manufacturers!

In any previous period, Mead’s words would have caused an uproar throughout the company.

But it’s different now.

After seeing the rich elements contained in the trailer and the massive number of unique and new gameplay methods.

A deep sense of powerlessness spread throughout the storm.

It also gave them a taste of Wei Wangdi’s despair when facing “Elden”.

This despair is like saying the safe word but refusing to stop, it is frightening.

There was no objection from everyone.

Meade nodded.

“It is estimated that this game will be on the shelves soon, and as long as the difference between the actual game and the trailer is not too big, it is almost certain that it will sell out, so don’t worry too much about it.”

“We just need to firmly maintain our “Zerg” and keep this profit point constant. Even if the number one player relies on “Zelda”, he may not be able to compete head-on with us.”

“By then, there will be plenty of opportunities.”

“Furthermore, the quality of the main body of “Zelda” may be different from the trailer. By then, the reputation will really explode. It will not be too late for us to resume advertising on various channels for “Continent of the Gods”.”

As an open world work that competes with Ready Player One at the same time.

Meade, who was frightened by the trailer, decided to give in and avoid the limelight first.

After all, we are not the villains and idiots in some novels, are we?

If you really can’t beat him, you just scream and attack him. What a brainless villain he must be.

There are actually many game companies around the world who have come to Mead’s concession conclusion.

After watching the trailer of “Zelda”, everyone was strangely silent.

Moreover, it is learned that the main game of “Zelda” may be released in the near future.

They are all rushing to postpone the release date of their own game products to a later date, trying to miss the peak of Zelda’s popularity in the first month.

————

Just when everyone wants to retain their interests as much as possible and avoid the edge of “Zelda”.

But there is only one person who has been silently praying for game manufacturers from various countries in his heart, and wishes they could make more money.

Oh, yes, it does not include Wei Wangdi.

“Brothers, please work harder. Whether I can succeed or not depends on this move!” Ke Jin looked at the system background with a little nervousness and a little excitement.

I’m coming! The moment that I have been dreaming of for a long time has finally arrived!

As “Zelda” has finalized its release date, new tasks for the system have arrived.

Moreover, the entry in the mission attributes this time is actually a very rare category!

It is not a question of whether something can be used for krypton or not, nor is it a question of how much it can be used for krypton.

This time’s mission flow—it’s unprecedented that it’s bound to the industry!

Ke Jin stared at the blue virtual screen in front of him that only he could see.

There are very conspicuous words written on it.

[Please make your turnover less than 50% of the total global new game sales within 30 days after the release of “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”! 】

What is the concept of occupying 50% of the game market?

That is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

But even the new game list has been diluted a lot.

50% of the total global sales within one month has reached nearly 100 billion!

And it’s still a rice knife!

This means.

Zelda needs to sell 300 million copies within a month of being released.

To reach this baseline.

This is already something that cannot be done.

What’s more, there is a blizzard glaring at the side, so I will definitely not let myself go on the shelves so peacefully and happily.

Their competing game “Gods Continent” is also selling like hotcakes, and they will definitely fan the flames secretly to further boost the sales of “Gods Continent”.

Ke Jin knows very well the profit-oriented philosophy of these old white men.

“Never had such a great start!”

“This is like sending a big gift package directly into my arms…”

“This time I want to see who else dares to say that I am unstable!” Ke Jin made a fist with one hand.

He was smiling so hard that he couldn’t even hold back the corners of his mouth.
