Chapter 532: Surprise or shock?
Translator: 549690339
The video was not only posted on Weibo, but also on major video websites abroad.
Moreover, the whole cinematic was in English, and it was captioned in different languages according to the region.
Although there wasn’t much description, just a video was enough to make players from all over the world excited!
As Chen Mo released more and more high quality games, Thunderbolt entertainment had gained a lot of attention in China.
Overseas, as Warcraft, Diablo, Minecraft, League of Legends, and other cla.s.sic games spread like wildfire, Thunderbolt Entertainment’s influence was also growing.
This was especially true for Thunderbolt Entertainment’s die-hard fans, who couldn’t help but have a question in their minds after watching the video.
What kind of game was this?
Such a distinctive and rich CG quickly caused a heated discussion among players around the world.
The players in China.
“This is Chen Mo’s new game? It’s also a Western fantasy theme!”
“Chen Mo is good at Western fantasy themes! However, it seems like this world’s background and overall atmosphere is Diablo. ”
“Chen Mo can definitely handle Diablo wind, but I want to ask, why didn’t he use the ip of Diablo, but instead made a new game, Dark Souls? This world view doesn’t match at all!”
“This should be made using the Pangu system. It’s also a Western fantasy theme. Is this going to challenge Knight’s glory?”
“But … Other than the video cinematics, I didn’t see anything else. I don’t know the specific game content or the battle.”
“I think it’s probably a hack and slash game like Diablo. With plenty of mowing battles, it’ll be easier to display the Pangu system’s physical power. ”
There were also many people discussing it overseas.
“The GA just revealed some information about Knight’s glory, and Thunderbolt entertainment released the new game’s promo? This is really interesting. ”
“Could it be that this Chinese company is going to use a Western fantasy theme to compete with the GA? Isn’t that a little too stupid?”
“The guy in front, you’re really ignorant. Thunderbolt entertainment already has cla.s.sic western fantasy games like Warcraft and Diablo. It’s obvious that their main designer, Mister, has a deeper understanding of Western fantasy than some European and American designers. I wouldn’t be surprised if this company released another cla.s.sic western fantasy game.”
“That’s right, I’m actually looking forward to it. In fact, it’s better to count on Thunderbolt entertainment than to expect an Omega to come up with a better Western fantasy theme. After all, everyone knows how much of an Omega’s sh * t is, and Thunderbolt entertainment has already had so many successful precedents!”
“But I can’t tell anything from this video! I’m not worried about the world, a company that can make Warcraft and Diablo would have no problems with the world structure. However, whether or not it can beat Knight’s glory still depends on the way it is played!”
” I think this promotional video is very ordinary. It’s obviously mystifying. There’s a lot of meaning in it, but it seems to have been completely cut off. Just from this video, I can’t tell the background of the entire world.”
“We’ll only know when the game is released!”
Obviously, the quality of the game’s CG was first-cla.s.s, completely worthy of Thunderbolt film studio’s reputation. It was just that many people did not quite understand the specific world-building content of the CG.
Of course, this was all within Chen Zhao’s expectations.
The world background of Dark Souls was different from any Western fantasy theme in the past. It could be said to be completely unique. It was very unrealistic to integrate the whole world and explain it clearly in a video that only lasted a few minutes.
Moreover, Chen Mo didn’t want to explain it clearly, because most of the world’s content was distributed among the collection of weapons, tools, and maps, which required the players to slowly figure it out and figure it out on their own.
This video was based on Dark Souls 3 with a small portion of Dark Souls 1.
At the beginning of the game, the creation of the Age of Fire was mentioned mainly to give players a basic idea of how this world was created. Why did the people want to pa.s.s the fire? What kind of existence was the Lord of Cinder?
After explaining these concepts clearly, they continued with the opening plot of Dark Souls 3.
Of course, Chen Mo didn’t go into too much detail, including Sun King Gwyn, witch, Tomb King NEET, White Dragon Sith, etc. He didn’t mention anything in detail, mainly to hide some plot in preparation for Dark Souls 1.
The main focus was still on the plot of Dark Souls 3, and the main scenes were given to the ancient Lords of Cinder.
……
Soon, players all over the world began to guess what Chen Mo’s next game would be!
Of course, the Chinese players were the main battlefields, because they (thought) understood Chen Mo the best.
Obviously, this was a work created with the support of the Pangu system, so the game must have highly highlighted the Pangu system’s physical support, and it was most likely a VR game.
At the same time, from the background of the world, it was completely Diablo. In a sense, this world was even more despairing than the world of Diablo!
This was because there were at least a bunch of angels in the world of Diablo who were against the demons. Although these angels weren’t good people, they seemed to be on the players’ side.
At the same time, although the cities were surrounded by a bunch of monsters, there were at least some living villagers in the cities.
However, from the video of Dark Souls, especially the latter half of the video, there were no normal creatures …
The Punisher-carrying inspector who was dressed like a reptile, the mud-like Aldrich, the giant yum who was holding a vegetable knife …
Only the abyss watchman Farron’s undead squad looked normal, but their hats were hanging low, and they were obviously not to be trifled with.
And the voice-over in the video also clearly said, ” the Lord of Cinder will definitely give up the throne. ” What did that mean?
The fireless ashes would come in a flurry. It was unclear if this was a good or bad thing. To say that they were ” nameless, undead who could not be paid, and cursed, ” it felt like they were definitely bad people. Could it be that they wanted to fight with them?
Judging from the video, the entire world of Dark Souls seemed to be a hopeless world. Everyone was living well when there was a fire, but now the fire was going out. What should they do?
Of course, these were all the players’ speculations, and there were right and wrong.
However, such a world setting had instead aroused the crazy pursuit of some dark players!
In fact, after Chen Mo released Diablo, there were a few other companies that followed suit and released Diablo games, but they weren’t as successful as Diablo, and the genre wasn’t as popular.
The playstyle was one aspect, but the world view was another.
This was because Diablo didn’t change the way Diablo was played, and there weren’t any obvious advantages after it was made into a VR game, because Diablo’s farming style was more suitable for PC.
Moreover, these games didn’t have the same world structure as Diablo, so the sense of despair and the depth of the plot were far from it. That was why there hadn’t been any good Diablo games on the market for a long time.
Many players of Diablo were looking forward to Chen Mo releasing more of the series, or moving Diablo to VR.
However, Chen Mo had always been free and easy, and no one knew what he would do in his next game.
That was why the players of Diablo couldn’t get Diablo 2 even though they had been looking forward to it.
After seeing the dark Souls promotional video, although some of the dark players were a little disappointed (after all, the game did not use a dark ip, and the hope of killing Big Pineapple again was lost), most of the dark players were still quite excited.
There hadn’t been any good Diablo games on the market for a long time, and dark Souls was made by Chen Mo himself, so it definitely wouldn’t be bad.
Moreover, from the opening video, the world structure of the entire world was definitely excellent. The only thing that was uncertain now was how the game would be played.
Many of Diablo’s fans had already decided that they would accept it even if Chen Mo decided to improve Diablo’s gameplay.
There was no choice, some die-hard fans were just that good at making do.
What they didn’t know was that Chen Zhao was going to give them a huge surprise.
…Or perhaps, he was frightened.
